    The double follow up email

    MARKETING 
    Who are your customers? How do they get to know you and your product? How educated/aware are they when they fill the form? I'll be harsh. That form is daunting for me. I have no idea what kind of equipment and appliances I want/need. I'd most likely abandon the form halfway through or fill it...

    How can I overcome my fear and anxiety

    MINDSET 
    Noticing the problem, admitting it and asking for help are 3 huge steps already! Give yourself a pat on your back. Sadly, there's no one specific answer to your question. In general, you overcome anxiety by defining the beliefs and/or experiences that cause your anxiety. These can by anything...

    Left my job to grow a Google Ads business (and overcome my anxiety)

    EXECUTION 
    8 months later: I've made it! My monthly recurring revenue now is higher than my monthly expenses (MRR = 1.5X) I keep growing my MRR as I onboard more clients weekly I aim for MRR = 3X+ by the end of the year It's been a long time and a lot of progress. Lots of failures and lots of successes...

    Growing an email list with Google Ads

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I'm subscribed and also opened the email. Those figures are off. Email tracking systems use a hidden image file to track opens. Emails that end up in spam do not load images (at least for me). Make sure your email is properly set up with Active Campaign. Check your DKIM/SPF records in the DNS...

    Landing Pages - Single Page from landing page builder or seperate page on website?

    MARKETING 
    How do we understand performance here? The number of leads generated? ROI/ROAS? I have a client who is an interior designer. A single page does just fine. We've only recently added another page with her portfolio, circa 30% of people visit that, can't say if it helps yet. A few exemplary...

    How to be perceived as legitimate when starting a business?

    Focus on the client, not the service. Ask questions about their business, their needs and show how your service can help. Do that with confidence - they don't want proof, they want confidence. I do just that and hardly ever get asked for my portfolio. My first SEO client and my first Google Ads...

    I've designed an innovative rhythm guitar course which solves a problem, but it doesn't sell as I expected

    As a self-taught guitar player, I'm your target market too. My feedback: - the sales page is confusing, it's lengthy like one of those $1997 sketchy sales programs and you sell a $19 ebook - I don't really understand what it's all about - the blue-yellow diagram makes it MORE confusing to me...

    How to create a salepage like this (see link)

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    It's the same as hiring an interior designer vs. designing your kitchen yourself. There are things you don't know you don't know but a designer does. Other than that, page builders have some constraints. What do you sell? Does it make sense to use a simple, off the shelf landing page and start...

    Website Suggestions

    MARKETING 
    Look for a person who asks questions and listens to you instead of convincing you they're the best. Look for someone to be your guide, not an order taker you'll need to manage. Building a website is a process that gives the best results when you have a specific goal in mind. Look for someone...

    Should You Focus on Local or National SEO? Or even Google AdWords?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Some points from my experience: Most of the web design leads I get from Google are low quality - price-shopping, cheap, small, local businesses 10-20% of them are decent but rarely great It's not as easy to outrank those sites as it seems. I come from an even smaller town (~60k inhabitants) and...

    [Help Requested ] How do you go about marketing as a local business?

    MARKETING 
    Mind posting a link to your website and GMB? I'd be able to give you some tips then. Sounds like Craigslist/Nextdoor/GMB perform better for you than Home Advisor or Thumbtack. What made you look for another solution?

    SEO is writing this particular post worth it?

    MARKETING 
    It's not about the number of words per se. It's about writing comprehensive content that satisfies users' search intent. Write a 1000 words article that is dense in value and you will outrank 3000 words of only-somehow-related gibberish stuffed with keywords. Ask yourself: what does the user...

    How to get profitable or fail fast with Google Ads

    MARKETING 
    Hey @Andy Black, What's the goal of step 2 above (buying the Click Data: CPCs, average positions and CTRs)? In step 1 you learn the search volumes for each keyword. You then work only with keywords that trigger often enough. In step 3 you start a proper campaign and watch the conversion...

    Quick Seo Question

    MARKETING 
    Hmmm, this doesn't sound that likely to me. Their language models might be a little less precise for German, but it's hard for me to believe that the whole algorithm is *years* behind. These are language-indifferent factors. @Menery how do other pages for these queries look like? Maybe these...

    Quick Seo Question

    MARKETING 
    Google is smart enough. They know that lawyer and attorney are synonyms. Focus on the one with the highest search volume, sprinkle in the rest. Google's AI is so smart, you will show up for search terms like "legal help" even though you don't use it in the page body. They assess what the page...
