How To Use The Drip Email Marketing System

One of the unfortunate things about this email marketing system is that it shares the same name as a marketing strategy. I sometimes ask myself if the creators were thinking about that juxtaposition in the strategy of marketing vs the software they created. But, what the video below is about is how to use drip email marketing system.

Now if you haven’t a clue as to what Drip is, then I invite you to press play on the video below and get a taste of the goodness that Drip is. During this video I will take you through how Drip does, or handles the various areas that a marketing email program usually provides for users such as you.

After watching this I’m sure you have more questions – or your ready to give Drip a trial run by using your full fledged 14 day trial! In that spirit, I did create more videos all about Drip so that you have the best opportunity to know what Drip is and if it’s for you.

So let’s dig in and follow along on the instructional for using Drip.

One of the best things about using drip is that they charge you based on your total amount of subscribers across all your accounts. I know that other companies will charge you based on your accounts and subscribers. Not so with Drip.

Currently the rate for new business owners starts at $19/mo

I have seen how much Drip has changed their platform so that they are in the conversation with other bloggers.

In the past they have solely been after the e-commerce business owner and they still are making that business owner their avatar.

HOWEVER…

They are now making it much easier to be a blogger, marketer, or most any business owner on the internet to have an interest in using Drip.

I’ve been using them for quite a while now (about 5 years) and love what they have done with the space they own on the internet.

One of the biggest complaints that bloggers had with Drip was the VERY PLAIN LOOKING forms that were the default. They simply told us to find a programmer and get the forms branded or just learn how to use CSS to make the forms look better.

NOW, things have changed so much and I’m very proud to be using these forms that they provide.

If you’ve been around much on my social accounts or on this blog, you know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE automation!

Drip makes automation very simple and basically anyone can do these automations to manage your account. Using workflows to get those who bailed on their shopping cart for one reason or another, to going out to find the “lost” subscribers and inviting them back to your world with a simple automation.

Time Savers For The Win!

Templates are a great way to save time with your emails. I use them for different subject matter to a different campaign format. It just makes it quick and easy to send out a nice looking email knowing all the formatting is done. Just type your email and click send!

Whether you are a beginner business owner or an advanced emailer / business owner, drip can and does make your life better, by presenting a great way to grab subscribers with their forms, to giving great customer service to those who need questions answered.

There are many more instructional posts for Drip on my blog here as well as on YouTube

If you’re searching for a new email system, I know there are steps to finding out everything you need to know about email systems. You first want to know the price and if it’s in your budget and then how does it stack up against the competition.

How Does Drip Compare to Other Email Marketing Systems

Drip Email Marketing Review

Hey this is Jon. And today we’re going to talk a little bit about e-mail. In fact, what we are going to do in this post is learn more about how does drip compare to other email marketing systems!

Now, the e-mail automation that I’m using or that I’m going to do a review on the drip e-mail marketing review that I’m going to do, Is called drip. Obviously, because it’s a really good way to do your marketing.

Marketing is also when you are dripping on people. You know there’s a metaphor there. So, they called themselves Drip and they’re also the same people that own Leadpages (at the time of this recording). So, if they do great in Leadpages and they give you the sales tools why wouldn’t they help you further in the process and help you in your email.

Before I get started though I encourage you to subscribe to my channel.

I do a video every single week and we’re going to start out doing some drip e-mails and going through how to use drip and what scenarios are best for certain people and really dig down deep on what kind of things you can do with Drip. Also how to use their liquid programming language.

Customer Service

Drip has the best customer service and it’s as fast as a click down at the bottom right hand part of your screen. You may be seeing a trend of companies going away from the phone method of doing customer service. That’s all by design due to the cost of manning phones. They certainly are doing an amazing job with their offering of email or chat. Usually if i need to get in touch with someone asap, I can check to see if they are on line at the moment. if not, I’ll use the email option which is responded to the next day or as soon as they receive the email.

How Does Drip Compare to Other Email Marketing Systems?

Drip is a forerunner to all the other email marketing systems because it gives us the ability to run campaigns with ease. these campaigns can be made to segment your list so that you are not spending unnecessary money on people that do not respond to your emails.

Sure there are other systems that offer the same segmentation but when it comes to ease of use, I believe that Drip will make your digital email marketing much easier. Take, for instance, Automation.

Automation using Drip

Their automation in my opinion is awesome because you set it up one time and it goes. I’ve learned so much from using the customer service help as well.

Automation is the key to your marketing. if you are marketing well, you know there’s no stress involved when you’ve got your automation running. Drip automation involves workflows, campaigns, triggers, and tags. These are the tools you have to help you deliver the right message at the right time.

There’s so many things you can do with Drip. Automation is where it’s at in today’s marketplace.

There are more and more going towards the ECRM (Electronic Customer Relationship Manager) way of doing things. So the next thing you really want to have in place, and this is huge, is deliverability.

That is another key point in drip because they are 99.9% deliverable and as long as you stay in the value group, you’re going to be at 99.9 percent. This will definitely help you stay relevant in your niche. So when it comes to knowing how does drip compare to other email marketing systems, the feeling is a great one even an hour, day, week, month, year in.

ONE CAVEAT TO DELIVERABILITY

You know it’s only the user that’s going to say things like

“I don’t really want to receive emails from you”

“I don’t really want to see this anymore and now I’ll put you in the spam folder.”

“I get too much email already and don’t have time to read your email.

you just cannot get around people like that because we all have lives to live. It might mean you’re creating too much noise in their world? This is why you should always send an email asking them about their situation. Provide them a way to bundle your communications with them. Drip does this really well by the way.

TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS POST ON PINTEREST!

Of course, you will definitely need to learn what the average deliverability is for your niche. Some are way different than others. When you know your stats, then you can tell if you are on a platform that has low deliverability or you have been pegged by the platform as a spammer.

How Drip Handles Spammers

I learned this ten years ago when I was spamming a lot of people. When you’re new, you don’t know any different. I had emails that I wanted to get out to my people that were on my list and they weren’t getting them or they were going to the spam/junk folder.

That’s just as bad as not sending an email, right?

I think back then I was at .2 percent that were actually getting the emails and I later found out that this particular platform labeled me as a spammer and they put me in a IP range that didn’t send out that well. So you have to be giving great value and always doing someone that is known for giving value. If you need a little help from a seasoned pro that travels all over, Gary Vaynerchuk is that guy. He’s a bit in your face but maybe that’s what you need to get off your butt to do something. I highly recommend his book that was written several years ago because it’s still relevant: The book is called, “Jab Jab Jab Right Hook“.

Ease of Use

The ease of use is the next on the list. It’s based on a great method of graphical presentation so you can understand what and where things are. You’ve got people instead of subscribers. It’s more personable but you’re going to have so many things presented in front of you when you first log in.

You’re going to see a graph of:

How your blog is doing

Your email stats

First time visitors you have on your blog.

Lastly I would like to point out that the price of drip for a 0-500 subscribers (people) is $19.

START YOUR FREE 14 DAY TRIAL

Now I have to admit, at the time of this recording the price was $49 and it wasn’t cheapest because there are other ones out there that were much cheaper. I think when I started it was 12 dollars a month with a different provider, and went up to 15 for others and eventually other ones that start at $30. As far as price, I’ve seen some that I go up to $300 a month. They also have many more things that they can offer and personally I don’t want them handling all of my marketing because if one thing goes down it can wreak havoc on all of your marketing. Simply put, you want to have items of your marketing in different locations.

Remember to get your FREE FULL FLEDGED TRIAL It is a 14 day trial and there’s no credit card needed. If you like it. continue on as if nothing happened and you can start you can keep going on with your marketing.

My Thoughts On Using Drip vs Other Email Marketing Systems

Now this review is slightly biased but not because Drip is sponsoring me. I would only get a commission when you decide to continue past the 14 day trial period, or just purchase a monthly or yearly subscription. it is my sincere hope that you take the 14 day trial after reading or watching my drip email marketing review.

The others email marketing systems I ‘ve used seem to be out of their league when trying to match what Drip has to offer. The original email systems have been in the business a long time and I would have thought that they would be jumping on the changes in the industry trying to make it easier to market businesses that are using their service.

The only system that I found that is close to Drip is ConvertKit. The ideas they have work well because of the programming language they use. This language is the exact same one as Drip. So, of course, it makes sense how well they match up to Drip.

The others email marketing systems are tough to compare even though they are in the email marketing system niche. So in future blogs and videos, I’ll be doing comparisons of each system that is after your hard earned money.

I’m giving you the review because it’s what i use and I think you could get great value out of using it in your business as well. So, if you’re ready to try out Drip, I encourage you to go for it! See you in the next blog post and/or video.

7 Benefits of Social Media Marketing: why you need to know these steps!

How Social Media Marketing Works

Social media and its function as a marketing tool is becoming increasing popular and if the trend continues, it could end up being the top online marketing tool, even surpassing tools such as Google AdWords. But there are still some business owners and managers who have not yet been totally sold on the benefits of social media marketing.

3 Handy Tools To Make Money Online

Making money shouldn't be as hard as everyone makes it. Here's a few ideas that anyone can #MakeMoney with in their #business.

In today’s world of the not so secure job, people are turning more and more into the online world of business. Now, I’m going to be the first to tell you that working online or offline in your own business is not for the faint of heart.

Any business endeavor will take committed action. That being said, I have a few different ways you may want to consider. These are all suggestions I have…

3 Handy Tools To Make Money Online

Any business endeavor will take committed action. That being said, I have a few different ways you may want to consider. These are all suggestions I have done or have seen others do quite well for themselves.

Click Bank

Click Bank is one of those amazing affiliate programs that give you a product to sell on your blog, social media, or in your PPC campaigns. It’s all up to you how and where you advertise.

If you have the right places in line, you can easily pull down a full-time income doing the affiliate sales. That’s a lot of work, however. If you look at the number of commissions you receive from most click bank sales, it ranges between 5% and 60%.

So you would have to choose a high paying product to make any real headway financially. Otherwise, you’re going to be constantly advertising for small commissions.

I’ve seen recently that click bank has tutorials to teach you how to make money online if you have never made money online. This is, however, one of the tougher avenues to take because you are constantly selling the same thing to different people.

The other side of the coin with Click Bank is that you can sell or put your product up and have others sell it for you.

Although I have never seen or known anyone personally sells on Click Bank, you’d be amazed at the income that people are pulling down using this one strategy.

eBay

Now, some people are very casual eBay sellers and that’s alright. For some, it’s a way of life and life couldn’t be any better.

Could you – or maybe the better question is, would you do this for a living if you could be taught in as short as a couple of hours?

The upside to doing a business is that you get tax breaks because you own a business, and you can set your own schedule.

If you were to point out a downside to this sort of business, it would be that you’re always sourcing new products that will sell in order to keep your income at the level you want to see it. That said, this lifestyle is not for everyone. But for those that can handle this, you could be looking at 4, 5 and even 6 figures a month if you are smart about how you set up your business.

Blogging

The best advertising that you can have as an entrepreneur is free advertising, right?

When you start a blog, you have spaces such as space here on the right and the left to advertise what you would like. You can self-promote your stuff/business, or you can put ads up for others for free or for a fee.

The goal when blogging is to get your blog post to rank as high as possible for a search term that gets a fair amount of searches each month. This is part of the equation that makes it so lucrative to blog.

The other part of the equation is that when you are blogging you can place videos, photos and of course lots of text in your blogs. Most blog posts that rank on the first page have a minimum of 2,000 words and up to about 5,000 or more.

But just because you have a blog doesn’t mean people will rush over to read it. You have to put in time to build it up and have valuable content that people want to consume.

Sign up for my blogging course where I teach you all the strategies to getting more traffic and eventually buyers from your blog posts.

Why Go Through All This To Rank A Blog Post?

It gives people a chance to get to know you better and that allows them to know, like and trust you.

What type of people do you suppose are buyers? The ones that know, like, and trust YOU!

So, if you’re in business, you may want to get yourself a blog, that has all the right features to get you ranked high and doesn’t come with a huge price tag.

The other necessity is to get setup with an email service provider. They used to be called autoresponders but that term left about 10 years ago. We now are calling them eCRM’s. This is the best one in my opinion (many others too)

The other benefit of this blogging platform is that you do not have to do any maintenance on keeping your blog running at top speed, or fixing any issues that may occur when you have a domain hosted Squarespace blog.

In other words, you do not have to be an IT guru to keep your blog running like it should be running. When you are looking for a blog, here are some specs that you should watch out for:

Squarespace is built for speed

Squarespace is built for marketers

Squarespace is built to save your time, by helping you get traffic, leads, and sales

Squarespace will help you with your bottom line and is part of the tools to make money online

NOTE: Free blogs such as blogger, WordPress.org, etc. do not allow marketing to be done on their platforms. It’s in the fine print and they can and will shut you down.

This has not stopped many from doing ads, and Squarespace has different packages for different types of bloggers. Eventually, you should get your blog hosted and run using WordPress.com. For more on setting things up with WordPress, click here

Wrap Up: Tools To Make Money Online

If you’re in the marketing space and are struggling, check your business and decide if you could be doing less of something and focusing your attention in some other manner.

Are you constantly having to advertise your business to get any leads?

Perhaps a blog is something you could use to get auto-pilot leads and sales?!?

Are you coming across as being a spammer to your social media followers?

Do you hate selling to people because you’re not sure what to say?

Then you could really benefit from our team building course.

These are just a couple of the things to think about when you are looking for tools to make money online. For starters, remember that when the economy is “bad” your business should be thriving. Peoples needs outweigh what the economy dictates, so they find other ways to meet those needs.

15 Wordpress Optimization Hacks That Flat Out Work!

Why WordPress Optimization is Paramount To Your Blogging Career

Here are some tips that are useful for WordPress optimization and better performance. It will reduce the CPU burden that WordPress puts on the server.

1 – Upgrade to the latest WordPress version.

Yes, you’re probably reluctant to upgrade if it’s already working but note that every WordPress update always contains bug fixes and improvements so there is no reason not to upgrade.

Sooner than later, you will need to upgrade to blocks (Gutenberg). This should be a priority in your quest for WordPress optimization!

On the other hand, if you just don’t have the time to do this, Use a host that will do this automatically for you.

2 – Remove unnecessary plugins

I know the plug-ins are nice but are you sure you really need those plug-ins? If you don’t need them, just delete the unneeded plugin. It’s taking up processing power on your webhost. This is what could be slowing up your website. You can always install it later if you need it.O

3 – Activate Plugins That Are Needed

For example, you don’t need to activate a Theme previewing plug-in if you are not planning to change a theme. You don’t need to activate a WordPress database backup plug-in if you are not auto scheduling a backup, and so on.

4 – Install “WP-Super-Cache”

If you’re really looking to improve your speed gains, then this is one that is paramount to increasing your website speed

It is clear that the wp super cache has great WordPress optimization while having the lowest overall resource hit on the server. It should always be using the least amount of memory and CPU time that it possibly can.

5 – Reduce PHP/Database Calls

Most CPU usage is caused by the number PHP and database calls. Using WP-Super-Cache helps this tremendously but sometimes it can’t be helped that your blog still has to do some PHP/Database calls. If you can reduce it though, do it. For example, if a plug-in allows you to set an option whether to write a log or not (like the number of spam comments caught, etc), then disable it. This will reduce the number of database insertion/update calls. As a technician on computer systems, I’ve found more wasted CPU processes spent on things that are not used. This one item will get WordPress optimization on the way quicker than anything I’ve said so far.

6 – Reduce the number of Widgets and other components

Although putting a weather widget or other widgets are cool, do you really need them? Besides cluttering your blog and turning visitors off it can also put a strain on the server.

Turn them off!

WordPress Optimization Through Cpanel (Server-Side)

7 – Repair and Optimize

Your database gets updated several times a day, whether you’ve posted or not. There’s a lot of chance for errors there. The process can be completed through the cPanel.

Under the Databases section, click on PHPMyAdmin –>> Select (your WordPress database).

Notice the table that appears. This contains all your posts, categories, comments, blogroll links, users, etc.

Scroll to the bottom. Click on Check All.

To the right of Check All you’ll find a drop down.

Choose ‘Repair’

Repeat the process and choose Optimize from the menu. (Note that you really only need to do this if you have a lot of overhead in your tables. Check it often.)

8 – Close Any Post Writing Pages When You’re Not Using Them

WordPress will Auto-Save and it uses server resources and builds up CPU usage. It’s a rather simple task to do but it does close out another process that wordpress is not having to save and update.

9 – Turn Off The Formatting Options in Settings

In WordPress, under Settings->Writing uncheck both Formatting options. Especially turn off “WordPress should correct invalid nested X-HTML automatically”.

10 – Don’t Post Via eMail/Word

Write your posts in the default wordpress writing interface. If you’re not done writing copy/paste it into Word.

There are plugin’s that help with getting rid of the garbage that word produces when copying and pasting to other apps or in this case, your blog. Just know that your MS Word doc is not the same when pasting to your blog.

11 – Use Summaries in Feeds.

Under Settings->Reading, select use Summaries in Feeds.

12 – Turn Off Any eMail Notifications You Don’t Need

especially redundant ones. If you go to your blog often, don’t worry about having it e-mail you for comments. Just turn that off. This can be found Under Settings-Discussion

13 – Reduce File Sizes

Use Photoshop, Gimp etc to reduce the image size, and if you are uploading a video, make the file size as small as possible for faster downloading on a slower network connection. This is another big item to accomplish in your WordPress optimization.

14 – Rename Backup Files

The file wp-cron.php should be renamed to wp-cron.php.bak. This is a good one to do but not as important to do for your WordPress optimization.

Learn The Inside Secrets To Growing Your Blog Fast

15 – Switch To A Simpler Theme

If you’ve done all the optimizations above, you may need to switch to a simpler theme. There are many themes out there each one is programmed/designed differently by different developers. Do you research on each theme to see how fast they load? It may be just that one extra second that keeps your visitor on your page reading!

WordPress Optimization Complete!!

Now, I have run many WordPress blogs and still do. But I focus the majority of my time on blogging rather than maintenance of the blog. The biggest reason for blogging is so I can help my audience solve a problem. This will in turn help them help someone.

WordPress Optimization On Auto Pilot

One entrepreneur tip is to outsource this type of ‘job’ unless you enjoy doing the maintenance on your blog(s).

So why take your precious time doing WordPress optimization on your blog when your passion is blogging? It’s a whole mindset that isn’t well-known now. Blogging is so profitable that you won’t be able to fail if you decide to make a commitment to blogging rather than tinkering with that blog.

Now, start blogging and building your tribe. Your tribe will thank you that you jumped in and blogged your heart out!

Blogging is for all ages and niches. Don’t get spooked thinking that you don’t know anything that would help someone out. You definitely have a talent, skill, or knowledge that can help out an entire tribe!

Here are a few examples if you’re not sure what to blog about

Real Estate

Network Marketing

Internet Marketing

Personal Bloggers

Local business

Photography

Saving money

…and the list goes on!

These are just a few of the types of blogs you can write about.

Now that you have a WordPress blog and it’s been optimized like it should be, create about 10 posts (if you’re new) and begin ranking on the top of Google and Bing.

15 Wordpress Optimization Hacks That Flat Out Work!

Why WordPress Optimization is Paramount To Your Blogging Career

Here are some tips that are useful for WordPress optimization and better performance. It will reduce the CPU burden that WordPress puts on the server.

1 – Upgrade to the latest WordPress version.

Yes, you’re probably reluctant to upgrade if it’s already working but note that every WordPress update always contains bug fixes and improvements so there is no reason not to upgrade.

Sooner than later, you will need to upgrade to blocks (Gutenberg). This should be a priority in your quest for WordPress optimization!

On the other hand, if you just don’t have the time to do this, Use a host that will do this automatically for you.

2 – Remove unnecessary plugins

3 – Activate Plugins That Are Needed

4 – Install “WP-Super-Cache”

If you’re really looking to improve your speed gains, then this is one that is paramount to increasing your website speed

5 – Reduce PHP/Database Calls

6 – Reduce the number of Widgets and other components

Although putting a weather widget or other widgets are cool, do you really need them? Besides cluttering your blog and turning visitors off it can also put a strain on the server.

Turn them off!

7 – Repair and Optimize

Your database gets updated several times a day, whether you’ve posted or not. There’s a lot of chance for errors there. The process can be completed through the cPanel.

Under the Databases section, click on PHPMyAdmin –>> Select (your WordPress database).

Notice the table that appears. This contains all your posts, categories, comments, blogroll links, users, etc.

Scroll to the bottom. Click on Check All.

To the right of Check All you’ll find a drop down.

Choose ‘Repair’

Repeat the process and choose Optimize from the menu. (Note that you really only need to do this if you have a lot of overhead in your tables. Check it often.)

8 – Close Any Post Writing Pages When You’re Not Using Them

WordPress will Auto-Save and it uses server resources and builds up CPU usage. It’s a rather simple task to do but it does close out another process that wordpress is not having to save and update.

9 – Turn Off The Formatting Options in Settings

15 Wordpress Optimization Hacks That Flat Out Work!

Why WordPress Optimization is Needed

Here are some tips that are useful for WordPress optimization and better performance. It will reduce the CPU burden by WordPress on the server.

Upgrade your WordPress to the latest version – you are probably reluctant to upgrade if it’s already working but note that every WordPress update always contains bug fixes and improvements so there is no reason not to upgrade.This should be a priority in your quest for WordPress optimization! On the other hand, if you just don’t have the time to do this, Use a host that will do this automatically for you.

Remove all the plugins – I know the plug-ins are nice but are you sure you really need those plug-ins? If you don’t need them, just delete it and only use only the ones that are necessary. You can always install it later if you need it.

Only activate plug-ins when you need them – For example, you don’t need to activate a Theme previewing plug-in if you are not planning to change a theme. You don’t need to activate a WordPress database backup plug-in if you are not auto scheduling a backup, and so on.

Install WP-Super-Cache if you haven’t. [Most Important One] It is clear that the wp super cache has great WordPress optimization while having the lowest overall resource hit on the server. It should always be using the least amount of memory and CPU time that it possibly can.

Reduce PHP/Database calls as much as you can – Most CPU usage is caused by the number PHP and database calls. Using WP-Super-Cache helps this tremendously but sometimes it can’t be helped that your blog still has to do some PHP/Database calls. If you can reduce it though, do it. For example, if a plug-in allows you to set an option whether to write a log or not (like the number of spam comments caught, etc), then disable it. This will reduce the number of database insertion/update calls. As a technician on computer systems, I’ve found more wasted CPU processes spent on things that are not used. This one item will get WordPress optimization on the way quicker than anything I’ve said so far.

Reduce the number of Widgets and other components – Although putting a weather widget or other widgets are cool, do you really need them? Besides cluttering your blog and turning visitors off it can also put a strain on the server. Turn them off!

WordPress Optimization Through Cpanel (Server-Side)

Repair and Optimize. Your database gets updated several times a day, whether you’ve posted or not. There’s a lot of chance for errors there. The process can be completed through the cPanel.

Turn Off The Formatting Options in Settings – In WordPress, under Settings->Writing uncheck both Formatting options. Especially turn off “WordPress should correct invalid nested X-HTML automatically”.

Don’t Post Via eMail/Word – Write your posts in the Write interface and copy/paste it into Word when you’re done or when you take a break. Don’t make WP spend time analyzing your Word file. Otherwise, you may opt to write what you have complete and save a draft, then close out your session.

Use Summaries in Feeds. Under Settings->Reading, select use Summaries in Feeds.

Turn Off Any eMail Notifications You Don’t Need – especially redundant ones. If you go to your blog often, don’t worry about having it e-mail you for comments. Just turn that off. This can be found Under Settings-Discussion

Reduce File Sizes – Use Photoshop, Gimp etc to reduce the image size, and if you are uploading a video, make the file size as small as possible for faster downloading on a slower network connection. This is another big item to accomplish in your WordPress optimization.

Rename Backup Files – the file wp-cron.php should be renamed to wp-cron.php.bak. This is a good one to do but not as important to do for your WordPress optimization.

Switch To A Simpler Theme – if you’ve done all the optimizations above, you may need to switch to a simpler theme. There are many themes out there each one is programmed/designed differently by different developers. Do you research on each theme to see how fast they load? It may be just that one extra second that keeps your visitor on your page reading!

So you found a great company to join. You’re pumped about the opportunity of making a lot of money and selling a product that you believe in. However, when the time comes to promote your business, the time is never right. Life just seems to get in the way – ALL OF THE TIME!

The real question that needs to be asked is what are you willing to give up in your social life in order to get what most will not ever have.

Making The Perfect Time For Yourself To Succeed

I’ve found that many people will agree with the statements I made above and then dismiss them because they don’t see them making any difference in their lives. However, if you take a step back and look at how you treat your time, you’ll quickly understand how much time is wasted at the TV or browsing social media. It literally only takes an hour per day of action towards your goal. Hopefully, it’s a goal that will cause you to be more profitable!

Take a look at your life. Make the necessary adjustments such as cutting your social media time down. Start by decreasing your browsing time and doing business-oriented tasks that will set you financially free. You will also need to get a blog set up so that you have a home on the internet.

So just by narrowing down time, you’ll see the answer to your question of “when is the perfect time to build a business?”

Setting Goals!

If you promise to yourself that you will succeed and you keep that mindset for 90 straight days by doing actions towards that you will see things growing in your business which is a sign of success. when you have success 90 days from now, you’ll thank your present self in the future for the decision you made to start. So, the perfect time is only a decision away.

Why you need a blog to start your business?

If you have been in the online space for a while, you know that blogging has been one of the constants for quite a while now. If you own an online business, you also know that you’re leaving money on the table by not setting up and running a blog.

One of the many things you can do with a blog is to advertise your podcast on it along with a blog post. In fact, you need a blog in order to have a podcast. Did you know that?

Claiming Your Domain – You.com

Who owns all the content that you post on social media? It’s not you. Even though promises are made in the T’s and C’s (Terms and Conditions) that you do have rights to your content.

Imagine a day when social media doesn’t exist or perhaps your favorite social media outlet decides to close its doors.

What happens to all your photos, videos and your daily, weekly, or monthly posts? Ultimately, you have no control over the data. Sure, Facebook gives you a way to download your data from them, but truly how many of us do that on a regular basis?

Here’s a video that goes over this very excuse – because that’s what it really is.

I’ve created a 4-day mini course that takes you step-by-step through setting up a blog and getting the blog ready for monetizing.

Lately, I’ve been researching the power of our words. It’s actually quite interesting to read of stories where people are tagged with insurmountable odds. They someone are able to get the needed change by using their thoughts and words to change their situation.

START YOUR BLOGGING CAREER

I know this is very topical but if you would like to read more about healing, and the power of our words, there’s a book that I recommend called, “You are the Placebo”.

One of the main points in this book is that we as humans are at our best when we live in the present. Living in the past is bad because it can’t be changed. Living in the future sucks because it just brings fear, pain, anxiety and the list goes on. No wonder we all decide to procrastinate (meaning to put off pain).
