In a traditional education you are taught there is ONE right answer.

Remember multiple choice tests? You were told that “C” was the right answer and “A” “B” and “D” were wrong.

It makes grading tests a whole lot easier, plus it trains people to follow orders from bosses who...

Here’s a simple little case study that you can employ in almost any niche.

This gal I know writes simple little reports that are evergreen. Example topics might be:

• How to build a sales funnel using other people’s products
• How to build a Facebook Group of 3,000 in 60 days and earn $10,000 a month

In the last few years, Mailchimp has added a website builder, basic online store function, digital ad support, and analytics tools, in its attempt to become a one-stop-shop for small businesses and entrepreneurs with digital marketing.

Because of these changes, Mailchimp now gives small businesses the power to compete with more sophisticated (but potentially cost-prohibitive) marketing automation solutions.

A 404 Error Page is what a visitor sees (or should see) when they land on a page that is no longer there. Some links go bad over time because products get removed, or content gets deleted. Or maybe there are changes in the permalink structure, or gremlins ate the page. It can happen. It DOES happen. 

And there was a time when your 404 Error page could say anything or nothing at all.  

But it’s time to wake up because 1995 is long gone.

On or off the internet, you are always selling something to someone. 

Maybe you’re selling your parents on why they should pay for your college. 

Or you’re selling your spouse on why they should let you take that trip with your friends.

We even sell little things, like getting our kids to go to bed, getting the newspaper carrier to deliver our...

Anyone can copy your photos and product descriptions and place them on Amazon under their account. 

Worse yet, when you contact Amazon to file a complaint, they will require proof and documentation for...

What if your prospects aren’t buying from you? Assuming they’re seeing your offer, the reason they’re not buying is one of the following: 

1: They don’t want what you’re offering. You will never sell these people.  

Go find the people who WANT your product or find a product your people want. 

2: They literally don’t have the money or credit to buy what you’re offering. They want it, and if they had the money, they would buy...
