“The money is in the list.” If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times. Listen, it’s just as true today as it always has been in the internet marketing game: The best time to build your email list is yesterday. Why? Because your email list is the only thing you own!

Oh hey there, listener! It’s been more than a minute! Now, this is going to be a bit of a different episode, but I found that the podcast gods just wouldn’t leave me alone if I didn’t address this topic.

Having a large email list is one of the most common misconceptions for business owners when it comes to selling high-ticket offers. Yes, your list size absolutely does matter. But it doesn’t have to be “huge” before you make a profit. All you need is a relatively small audience, your unique expertise, and some good copywriting skills to communicate…

This is because it’s human nature to do the same (or similar) things even when we believe we’re making big chan…

People buy what they want, not what you want to sell to them. This old sales adage has never been more true than today. It’s one thing to make a pitch and hope somebody buys your product or service. It’s a totally different thing to anticipate the objections they will have about buying from you before they even say them. By knowing your customer’s …

One of the biggest keys to the success of your online business is creating an irresistible offer that will bring people in and keep them coming back for more.

Do you feel like you do more for your clients than you do for yourself?

“You need to hustle more.” It’s become the catchphrase of entrepreneurs everywhere. But, what does it even mean, exactly? Why do we associate the word “hustle” with success and achievement? More importantly, is raw effort the only ingredient you really need to accomplish your goals? If you listen to the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk and Elon Musk, you’d…

“The money is in the list.” We’ve all heard the saying. But putting it into practice isn’t as easy as it sounds. Maybe you still don’t have a list to speak of or, if you do, it’s growing way too slowly for your liking. Expecting people to just sign up for your newsletter is not working out for you, either. You might even have a lead magnet or two (…

Want to know the sentence I hear the most often from online coaches and even my own clients? Here it is: “I hate sales!” It hurts my heart to hear it.

Yet, for some, the…

In a recent study of 600 entrepreneurs and small business owners, 84% admitted that they have experienced imposter syndrome.

Even fewer can explain how to cre…

All the marketing efforts in the world will land on deaf ears if no one knows who you are and why what you do can help them.
