Busy week ahead! So, we’re going to be diving right in here… As this issue is being sent to you, FluentCommunity is now launching. I am seeing this plugin has an alternative to BuddyBoss and, while we’re still early, I think it definitely will be. As they always do, they’re launching this plugin with special…
Well, hello there! Busy weekend, which means I didn’t get a head start on the newsletter and wrote this whole bad-boy this morning. So, just a bit later than usual. Today, I want to take a quick look at FluentCommunity as a potential alternative for BuddyBoss. A full review of this one is forthcoming. I…
Happy Monday morning! And I guess I should say… happy election eve? Yeah, let’s be real…. tomorrow is a day a whole lot of people are paying close attention to. This US election has been a real doozie. All I know is that I hope it’ll all end soon and that the political division will…
Happy Monday morning! Ready to start a new and productive week? Lots of noise out there, especially with the US election coming up soon. But, all I can say is… Stay focused on what you control. And stay focused on growth. The rest of it is noise. It might be important, but in the end,…
Hard to believe we’re just over a week away from October coming to an end. My daughter was just involved in a haunted house this last weekend, in fact. Just crazy how time flies! This week, we’re getting back to basics a little. Talking about the “big picture” on starting a new business from scratch….
Well, we made it through Hurricane Milton. And so did our house. The neighborhood looked like a warzone. Trees down everywhere. Even our own property had one of our largest oak trees go down and we were incredibly lucky that it didn’t fall on the house. The morning after, though, we went to work. I…
All last week, the WordPress world was “hot to trot” over this whole battle between Matt (the founder of WordPress) and WP Engine (the popular web host). And, I’m going to talk about it a bit more. But… I also know that this stuff might seem irrelevant and like “inside baseball” to a lot of…
Well, as last week drew to a close, the WordPress community got all hot and bothered over some comments by Matt Mullenweg (the titular founder of WordPress) that took place at Wordcamp. So, I gotta talk about that. It isn’t the first time he sparked something…. and it probably won’t be the last. So, let’s…
This week, the big WordCamp US event will be taking place in Portland, OR. I was originally on the docket to attend the event. But, decided a couple weeks ago not to bother. As the week goes on, we’ll see if I wish I was there. In the end, the sessions there seemed rather pointless…
Funny, so I’m writing that title for this week’s issue and I realize it comes off as boring. Not much screams “yawn” more than talking about “systems”. But, it is SUCH as important topic on so many levels. And something I’ve definitely been spending some time on internally here. So, figured I’d talk about it…
For all of my U.S. subscribers, Happy Labor Day. Hope you enjoy the day. I know a lot of you probably have the day off. My wife does. But me? Yeah, I’m laboring. So, let’s just dive right in, shall we? Featured This Week How To Increase Your Email Open Rates And Get Your Emails…
Welcome to a new week…. and issue #493 of this newsletter. Little crazy when you think about it. When I started this newsletter (under a different name), I never really thought about the fact that one day I’d be writing my 500th issue. And yet, we’re getting close to that point. Anyhoo… This last week,…
