Are you here? Paying attention? Or… are you super scattered and probably just scanning? Society has attention issues, if you haven’t noticed. And with that in mind, I want to talk about “big picture” content strategy today. You’re free to think and do whatever you want, but personally… I think most all cases of “attention-deficit…
So, tis the week of spam. Actually, it has been for awhile. It is Black Friday week and pretty much everybody is out there running a sale. It keeps getting longer, too, since most businesses started going into “sales mode” a week or two ago. It is more like Black Friday MONTH these days, amiright? To be…
I was asked a pretty good question last week via email. It read… Having listened to your pivot video, I know a newbie question might not be your favorite, but I have a question regarding your current tech stack. (wpfusion, learndash, woocommerce, buddyboss, cartflows, affiliatewp, fluentcrm). It appears most of the primary software need to be…
Being that I am now involved behind the scenes with a lot of people’s websites (through my ongoing webmaster support as well as projects), I end up dealing with a lot of different web hosts. This gives me a bird’s eye view of things. And yes, I have my opinions. 🙂 As with all things web hosting,…
If you haven’t yet heard, Elon Musk and a small group of private investors officially bought Twitter last week. This is a pretty big deal and, if they execute on what I believe should be done, I think Twitter could potentially end up dominating social media. It could end up re-defining it, in fact. The…
Answer me this… Which do you think is easier? It should be obvious, but the second option is much better for your business. That is called “continuity income”. Continuity simply means that the payments come in on a continuous basis. Monthly or annual is the most common. One of the most common ways to do this is…
In last week’s issue, I railed against Paypal for their move to begin fining people $2500 for instances of “misinformation”. I also called them liars because when they reversed themselves (due to all the pushback), they basically said it was an accident. Yeah, right. They think we’re stupid? Anyway… I got a TON of replies…
Paypal published a new policy late last week that was set to go into effect next month. These kind of policy updates happen all the time with tech companies and usually they are met with a yawn. But, this one raised some eyebrows. In the new policy, Paypal states that they would target anybody “sending,…
It was a beautiful, clear morning as we pulled away from the marina in Clearwater, Florida. There were at least 10 of us on board. We had met out there at the marina in order to go offshore about 20 miles and go diving. I arrived with my big pile of diving gear that I…
Marketing things as an affiliate is obviously a good way to make money with a blog. It is WAY better than using banner ads and the income potential is far better. That said, making good money as an affiliate is about being more strategic than simply tossing out posts promoting stuff. You’ve got to think…
We all choose our own path in life. Often, that path becomes rather self-fulfilling. It doesn’t really feel as if we’ve chosen it anymore. But, if you peel back all the layers and all of the bullcrap, you realize you ARE in the driver seat the entire time. Usually, when people come to me, it…
I had a thought. Yeah, it happens every now and then. 😉 See, the other day I was talking to somebody. This person was in the advertising business. This means she saw a lot of clients and was busy. VERY busy. We’re talking 15+ hour days. Sitting in the office until 2AM. Sometimes up and…
