Noah Kagan says, “You’ve probably heard how important email marketing is for your business, but do you know how it can specifically save you time and increase revenue? When I started AppSumo.com, it took me three months to get a special deal with a company to promote one of our sales. Then on the day of the sale, I’d ask everyone I know to tweet about it. We’d have a successful launch, but then the following week when we did another promotion, we had to start all over again — and go make as much noise as possible to get our potential customers’ attention”.

Sarah Carnes says, “You have to give to receive. These 6 words sum up “How Blogging Gets You Customers”. You need to give and be present online toreceive confidence and business from customers and the way that is done is through blogging. Here are 5 reasons why blogging will net you customers through your Internet marketing efforts. 1) It Opens Your “Virtual” Doors Just like a brick and mortar business unlocks their door every day, businesses that have more than a local reach, need to open their doors online.

Chow says, “When publishing content, it’s important you write something which resonates well with your readers. There is so much content available online that putting together something full of substance is difficult. With so much spam floating around online it’s no wonder that people are quick to judge the quality of content on a blog or website. Recently, there’s been a trend beginning to emerge shifting from creating unique content to reviving older content putting together something more in-depth and resourceful. If your an experienced blogger, you’ve noticed five post types have... [...]

Neil Patel says, “If you knew something as easy as adding images to your blog posts would increase your readers, subscribers, followers, and leads, wouldn’t you do it every single time? According to Jeff Bullas, articles with images get 94% more total views than articles without images. Ninety-four percent! If I were to tell you that you could expand your reach by 94% by doing something fairly simple, I’m guessing you wouldn’t think twice. Of course, “simple” is relative. I don’t mean you should take five minutes to scope  out some stock photos   and... [...]

Emma Snider says, “Most salespeople love to talk, and they’re good at it. They’ll crush a phone call or a face-to-face meeting any day of the week. They know just what to say and how to say it to inspire trust and edge closer to a contract. But give them a laptop and tell them they need to write an article? A little outside of their comfort zone. You might even see a flicker of panic in their eyes. Not every salesperson needs to blog to improve their online presence. Learning how to curate and share content that’s interesting to prospects and boosting professional visibility through... [...]

Chow says, “I’ve always said that great video starts with great audio, and on this episode of Driving with John Chow, I give you a demo of the Sennheiser EW112P G3 A-Band Wireless Lav Mic that I use for my videos. The first part of the video was recorded with the built-in mic of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 digital camera. That was actually done by accident. I didn’t know the Sennheiser mic wasn’t plugged in. I was driving 30MPH with the top and windows down. The second part of the video is the same setup, but with the Sennheiser mic hooked up, and traveling at 70MPH with the top and windows down.... [...]

Brittany Leaning says, “What does it take to drive 100,000 visitors to your blog? What about turning each of those visitors into 100,000 loyal subscribers? For many marketers, just getting 100,000 visitors to a website seems impossible — never mind figuring out how to entice them to become active email subscribers. But with the right process and strategy in place, the challenge becomes a little bit easier to tackle. Here’s what you need to keep in mind to grow your blog readership: Determine who your audience actually is. The type of people you’re attracting to your blog... [...]

Stefanie Flaxman says, “Many years ago, when I began developing my personal guest posting strategy, Copyblogger sat atop my “Where I Want to Guest Post” list. Five years later, I achieved my goal. So, how did I spend the time between making my list and May 23, 2013 when my first blog post appeared on Copyblogger? Rigorously practicing my writing, of course. Although I had high hopes of guest posting for Copyblogger during the early stages of my online copy editing business, it was my rejection from Copyblogger that shaped my subsequent guest posting success”. Guest Posting Best Practices... [...]

Chow says, “Because I’m in a 90 day video challenge, a lot of people assume that I take time each day to make my video. The same assumption also goes for my blog. People assume that I take some time each day to punch out the blog post. This is not how I produce my blog and video posts. Taking time each day to produce your daily blog or video is very poor time management”. How I Produce Blog Posts and Videos John Chow’s Blog  [...]

Chris Heiler says, “**Knock** **knock** “Yes? Can I help you?” asked Mrs. Homeowner, peeking through her semi-open front door. “Hi! My name is Chris. I work for a landscaping company called Greensward,” I replied. “I was driving through the neighborhood and noticed your beautiful home that was recently built,” I continued. “Have you made plans for your landscaping yet? Here’s one of our brochures.” “Yes. We’re all set. Thanks,” she responded as she closed the door”. 5 Reasons Your Salespeople Need to Start Blogging... [...]
