It happens. You subscribe to an email list because something interests you, or you want a free download. For the first few emails, you’re pretty interested. But, over time, the novelty wears off. You pay attention less. You might filter the messages to save them for later, but… There you are. On the list. But,…
Many blog and small business owners look to Facebook as a way to promote their businesses. The goal is to build up a page with a lot of fans and promote, right? Well, Facebook has been making it harder. Page owners have been seeing for awhile that organic reach (which means people you can reach…
The money is in the list, they said. Everybody talks about growing your email list as big as you possibly can. What if it is bad advice? Or, put more accurately… incomplete advice? The size of your email list really doesn’t matter. It is all about your relationship with that email list. In fact, this is one of…
A little over a week ago, I deleted 2,785 email subscribers from my email list. In fact, this is something I do periodically and it had been too long since I last did – hence the number of emails. Why did I do that? Well, they were unsubscribed. Which means I could not email them…
So, there’s this guy I’m connected to and he has a business idea. Recently, I was watching him talk about this idea on Facebook and I just could not help myself from chiming in. See, I’ve been connected to this guy for years. And he’s been talking about this same idea – for YEARS. But,…
So, I’ve had this love/hate affair going on with blog comments. If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, perhaps you’ve noticed. 🙂 Like most bloggers, I had comments on all blog posts for quite some time. Even though they became far less useful over time, I kept them on. Then, I turned them off….
I was in the Lab Community, as I am every single day. And one of the members asked this question. She had a redwood post on her blog (click here if you don’t know what a redwood post is). And she was curious about the idea of repurposing it by turning it into a lead…
My wife and I recently bought a Casper mattress. You seen these things? Our old mattress was foam, too. But, it was 12 years old. We bought it before we were even married. It was so old that it even had holes where we slept! Like, the part of the bed I slept on was…
Today, I wanted to talk about something that I see a lot. Copying. No, not copying or stealing people’s content. That happens. It sucks. But, it’s a different issue. I’m talking about copying “gurus”. Copying the structure of what they do thinking you may see the same results. Like, you see a total newbie to…
The last couple emails, I talked about the dangers of distraction. It seemed pretty appropriate to end the week with a cool productivity tool that, at least for me, helps me ward off distraction. See, I’m a big lists guy. I like to make lists. It could just be my daily todo list… or it…
Last Friday, I went out by myself for a sushi lunch. It was one of those all you can eat sushi places. Not a buffet. They have an actual menu and you can just order from it as much as you want until you basically grow gills. Sushi is kinda my favorite food. I even…
Yesterday, I talked about how reading online marketing blogs can easily become an addiction. One that is actually harmful. I wanted to talk a bit more about that because… I don’t want you to be addicted to crack. Like this guy… In all seriousness, there’s an awesome video on Youtube you should watch some time…
