Your Mission: Be Boring One of the things I've always struggled with is boredom. Not boredom in the typical sense, though.

My Working (from home) Overseas Wrap Up
My Working (from home) Overseas Wrap Up
(Read Part I Here)
A long overdue update!
Earlier this year, I had talked about how I wanted to really test the work at home lifestyle while going overseas for a month. The goal was to see if I could spend this month or so away maintaining the same productivity as when I’m working from home, in the midst of my normal routine. There were a few takeaways from this experience:

How To Use A Blog For Internet Marketing To SkyRocket Business
Blogging used to be for bloggers, the same way that Facebook used to just be for college students. In both cases, both the user base and what it’s used for has grown dramatically in the past decade.

It always amazes me to look at the speed that the internet evolves at. While blogging may have started out kind of as an online journal, another way to write and publish…

How Does Traffic Work?
How Does Traffic Work?
I came across a pretty cool article/guide on moz.com. On here, we kind of talk about different aspects of our business in pieces, based on what’s on my mind at the time or what I’m working on. I’m just one person, so everything on here is going to reflect my personality and approach.
That’s part of the reason I’m starting to think about adding some guest writers at some point, to get a different…

Model Your Focus & Business Mentality After A Race Horse
Saying that staying focused is important is an understatement. When it comes to your business mentality, it can’t be emphasized and practiced enough. Staying on a straight and narrow path is not only a key to a happy and successful like, it’s the key to success in all the areas that make up your life.
Ever seen a racehorse? Or a horse on the street? Have you noticed those blinders they wear on…

The Great Equalizer: My Greater Goal
What’s the goal?
We all want to make money, buy things, go on vacations, live comfortably and take care of our families. But what’s the long term goal? What are you doing this for?
I hesitated to write this article. I want to keep this blog focused on online marketing and building a business online. Along the way, I’ve added posts on motivation and inspiration because, let’s be honest, that’s…

How My Productivity Flourished On My Vacation

So my trip overseas is coming to a close. The goal was to see if I could spend this month or so away maintaining the same productivity as when I’m working from home, in the midst of my normal routine. There were a few takeaways from this experience:

I don’t think we always realize how much routine impacts us on a day to day basis, both…

Being A Great Online Marketer Means Mastering Efficiency: Here's How
Being A Great Online Marketer Means Mastering Efficiency: Here’s How
My favorite people to work with are hard workers. The ones that don’t make excuses and let their actions do their talking. When I work with someone new, that’s what I look for. I want action.
Our focus should be on making that hard work pay off. If you’re willing to put in the hours, day in and day out, if you’re willing to take on the grind, then make it worth it.
So when it comes to…

Why You’re Not Going To Become A Marketing Expert
I don’t care if you’ve been in business for 10 years or 10 days – You’re not going to become an expert at what you do. If you’re not making the kind of money you want, then you’re definitely not an expert.
STOP.
Let’s define expert. Because right now, most of you are thinking that means that you know everything. That a marketing expert means you’re the best at what you do. That being an…

How To Use Science To Become Amazing At Recruiting
I’ve always appreciated facts and logic to assumption, opinions and emotions. Especially when it comes to business. A lot of times, we make gut decisions. And while I’ll never tell anyone NOT to go with their gut feeling, that’s not something I can teach my students to replicate.
This is why A/B testing is so important. Testing everything from our headlines to the color font we use to the way we…

How I'm Increasing My StumbleUpon Traffic: Part 3
How I’m Increasing My StumbleUpon Traffic: Part 3
StumbleUpon so far has been great as far as increasing traffic. I haven’t gotten a noticeable bump in subscriptions, though. But I don’t know that I’ve gone through enough new visitors to make an accurate judgement.
So what I want to focus on now is:
Increasing StumbleUpon traffic (SU) even more
See traffic more consistently
Create posts that are SU friendly
To increase my StumbleUpon…

How To Keep Your Email Subscribers
How To Keep Your Email Subscribers
Creating an effective follow up email series is so important. I can’t say it enough. It allows you to build a relationship with your subscribers which translates into more sales. But the relationship has to come first.
No relationship – no business.
That’s why you delete all the spam that comes into your inbox. Because it’s spam. If you don’t build a relationship with your subscribers and…

How To Avoid Needing Will-Power
How To Avoid Needing Will-Power
After being out of the country for just a few days, I already appreciate having instilled a consistent planning routine. Something about being out of my every day environment can make it difficult to be consistent with my work.
Maybe it’s the feeling that being away from home has the potential for a vacation – even if I’m away for work. So I’ve had to take the necessary approach that since I…

How A Vacation Could Explode My Productivity
How A Vacation Could Explode My Productivity
Going back to last year, I’ve been using the Weekly Planning Worksheet to schedule my work week consistently and loyally. And it’s made such a HUGEimpact on my productivity out results. Every week starts with sitting down and taking 30 minutes or so to go through it. At my very worst, I end up doing it on a Tuesday morning. Maybe Monday I was just really slow moving or whatever. No excuse for it,…

My StumbleUpon Traffic Adventure Continued…
So here’s a first update on my first try at incorporating StumbleUpon into my traffic plan. Let’s keep in mind that it’s still early but I just wanted to share what I’ve noticed so far.
Right off the bat, I noticed a pretty big spike in traffic coming from StumbleUpon. Awesome to see! I expected more traffic but not this quickly. Similar to Twitter, you follow and have followers on SU. I’m still…

Don't Like Competition In Marketing? I Want More!
Don’t Like Competition In Marketing? I Want More!
I don’t know when but at some point this idea of competition being a bad thing started to become accepted as gospel. If you’re marketing online, you’d be told to avoid competitive niches. Do some research and find affiliate products in low-competition niches.
And while I understand the philosophy behind that – not to make things harder on yourself – I think it’s a bit misguided.
If a niche is…

Why You Don’t Want One Million Leads: Intro To Targeting
Something that I have been working more on lately is targeting. I try to talk about generating traffic as much as I can, since without traffic we have no business. It doesn’t matter how great your store is if no one is walking through the door, right?
But at the same time, it doesn’t matter how many people are walking into your store if none of them are buying anything.
