A couple days ago, an old friend of mine (Justin Brooke, from AdSkills.com) said on this Facebook profile… “Here’s why Wordpress is dead (to me).” Needless to say, I was intrigued. 🧐 He went on to say he thinks Wordpress is dying. He called it “old web” and based on dying technology. Past it’s prime….
For a moment, imagine you’re a baseball player. You step up to the mat. And, you spot an area of the field that you want to put the ball. That spot is the goal. Now, before anything happens… before the pitcher throws the ball your way… you have to adopt a stance. You need to…
When I got up this morning, I was seeing rumblings on Twitter that Elon Musk may have officially reached a deal to purchase Twitter. This is going to be interesting, to say the least. When (and why) did all this start? I was around when Twitter first started. I and many bloggers thought it was…
What I’m going to say in this article may be just a reminder to many. Some get it already. See, we all want to make more money. And it is really easy to focus on that word “more”. To make more money, you do MORE of what you are already doing. Sell MORE stuff. Get…
You know me and my fondness for Wordpress. I am a massive fan of building your own homebase on Wordpress and OWNING it. And stop relying on external services in a lazy fashion. But, that doesn’t mean we don’t use external channels. I know the natural inclination of many (including me) is to post all our…
In last week’s issue, I talked about the inflation in the world of online courses. How I think the trend is toward smaller, more focused courses rather than big honker courses. And why it might make more sense to seek clients rather than students. But, there’s another opportunity here. See, that “inflation” I talked about…
Inflation. Lot of people talking about it these days when it comes to money. I mean, massive money printing on a scale never seen before in history. Prices going up. Seen food and gas prices lately? I could go on, but don’t worry… this isn’t an economics discussion. 😇 Inflation hasn’t only happened with money. See,…
The idea of building a membership site has been quite the trend the last several years. There’s a lot of interest… and a lot of people seek to build one. But, I have also noticed a bit of tunnel vision on what that means and what the possibilities are. So many people hear that phrase “membership site”…
I don’t have to tell you, but… there’s a lot going on in the world right now. And seeing as the internet itself has become THE medium for most communications and commerce, that means we have to prepare for an internet with… speed bumps. In this recent war in Ukraine, there have been calls to…
The world of Wordpress is changing. And it could eventually result in tools like Elementor, Thrive Architect and others becoming obsolete. It is changing the ways themes are built, too. See, Wordpress has always had a weak spot when it came to site design. It started as a traditional blog platform. And the editing interface…
Like over 100 million people, I watched the Super Bowl a bit over a week ago. It was a good game, but a lot of people also watch it for the commercials. Now, advertising at the Super Bowl is expensive. This year, it costs $6.5 million for 30 seconds of airtime. $13 million for a…
Last week, I was on a consulting call with a cool dude. Looking to take his successful one-man business online in order to scale things up and increase his leverage. As part of that conversation, we were talking about some of the advice that other people give. In this case, specifically, it was the idea…
