What is more important: quality or quantity?
The easy answer to this long and heated debate is both are very important – and I’ll give you that, they both are, but for free content I am in the quantity camp. Go ahead and paste me and leave 1,000 comments telling me I’m wrong – I don’t care, I will read… Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been involved in internet Marketing since January 18th, 2011.
Since I started, I’ve had the privilege of taking part in a number of online courses that have given me a solid Internet Marketing Education. On the other hand, I’ve also purchased courses that just didn’t live up to the awesome sales page (and trust me, in some cases,… Read the rest of this entry »
I hear a lot of webmasters complain day in and day out about all the changes that Google constantly makes to its algorithm and how they affect our search engine placement.
Let me break it to you: it’s not all about what Google has done and will do to update its algorithm.
It’s about what you SHOULD BE doing.
“I’m going to build a business!”
These words have a certain magical energy to them. They give every solopreneur, looking to hang out a shingle on the Internet, a sense of being on the same level as a Bill Gates, or a Donald Trump, or a Larry Ellison. The vision of a future business maven who creates an empire and… Read the rest of this entry »
When it comes to building an online business (especially if you’re a blogger), one of the most valuable assets that you can have is a email list.
I currently run two relatively active blogs, and my mailing lists play a HUGE role in helping to keep them going. In fact, back in 2010, I reached a stage in my business… Read the rest of this entry »
This happens to me far too often. I think change can be a good thing, but change for the sake of change is not.
The same goes for growth for the sake of growth. There is no quicker way to kill your business than to grow too fast.
When I communicate with new bloggers I always tell them to start… Read the rest of this entry »
This weeks article is sneaking in front of the Creative Visionary series I have been putting together since my previous post. Apologies to anyone who was expecting to see the next installment, it will be following this article in my column.
The reason for the delay is because of a last minute invite to write about a Visa small… Read the rest of this entry »
You may recall a few weeks just before Steve Jobs passed on, Apple stock dropped a good few percentage points.
It wasn’t because of Steve’s death that brought the valuation down (it was factored into the stock market years ago when he first began to get sick), it was because the market expected something and then didn’t get… Read the rest of this entry »
I remember when I was putting together the Blog Mastermind course four years ago, writing lessons on how to produce powerful blog content. I felt very confident teaching this area except for one topic – how to come up with effective blog headlines – which I felt deserved an entire course in and of itself.
The headline is the… Read the rest of this entry »
Are you a married man? I am! Happily married now for five years, one month, and seven days at the time that I’m sitting down to write this. In the five years of my very happy marriage, and my dating years that came before, it has become quite obvious to me that, in many situations, guys can’t read girls’ minds.… Read the rest of this entry »
In this day and age we are constantly bombarded with advertising and marketing. It is estimated the average person sees 5000 ads per day. The result? We ignore the majority of them. The marketing message falls on deaf ears or blind eyes. Simply put, there is too much clutter out there, and to deal with it (and in… Read the rest of this entry »
Selling information for money – it’s such a beautiful thing. It’s what so many of us love talking (and blogging) about. It doesn’t take a huge office, lots of inventory, and once it’s done, you can almost set it and forget it – right? Well, it all depends. Allow me to explain . . .
Since the beginning of this… Read the rest of this entry »
Six months after starting this blog back in 2005 I purchased what at the time was a cutting edge MP3 player, called an iRiver. It was a 20GB HDD MP3 player, a principal competitor to the dominant iPod.
I didn’t get an iPod because I wasn’t a mac user yet. I wasn’t a fan of itunes (I’m still not a… Read the rest of this entry »
I was reading Dee’s recent article in his customer segmentation series where he talked about how to segment your blog readers.
One of his main premises was the difference between a person who leaves a comment, or many comments and those who don’t. I agree with Dee that these are possible options for segmenting your blog readership, but… Read the rest of this entry »
Almost every article I write and almost every discussion I have about blogging goes pretty much the same way: If you write a lot of quality content, your blog can’t help but be successful.
Whether your content is self-created, you have staff, or you rely heavily on guest posters, having lots of fresh content is almost a guarantee you will… Read the rest of this entry »
I like to use my time and the space Yaro gives me here at Entrepreneurs-Journey to base my articles on questions I often receive and this one will be no different as I am going to discuss how “Mitch’s Blog” became a company with 18 current writers.
While the building a company part I have talked about in the past… Read the rest of this entry »
In business, as with all of the most important parts of life, sometimes it’s difficult to know what to do when faced with a challenging situation. Your usual guides and helpers – your mind, gut, intuition, faith, environment, peers, mentors, family, study resources, etc, don’t always point out a clear direction.
Sometimes what you come to rely upon may contradict… Read the rest of this entry »
