    Figuring Out Newsletters

    EXECUTION 
    Haha! I can't believe how blinkered I am at times. I've just come back to this thread with the realisation that I shouldn't think of a newsletter as a newsletter. I just needed to reframe the way I think. In the past, I've supplied written courses to a company called Highbrow. They then turn...

    Or buy the latest iPhone even though they can't afford it.

    What will you focus on in 2022?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've learned lots of things not to do in the past couple of months. One idea I do like that I got from @Andy Black is to document my progress in a separate thread on the forum so I've done that. As well as holding me accountable, it's getting me into a good habit with testing, recording and...

    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    Month 2 Update This is my first monthly update documenting an attempt to grow my YouTube channel. I think I’ve learned a few things by experimenting and making mistakes. Headline figures for the month are: Subscribers = +376 (about the same as last month) Views = 52.2K (down from 60k) Watch...

    Accidental Email List

    MARKETING EXECUTION 
    I've read your situation a few times and I'm unclear about what element you are struggling with: Is it how to monetise the list by selling it or selling to the people on the list? Or is it how to deal with the mechanics/technicalities of managing the list? Something else? If your list has been...

    How do you get traffic to your newly published website without any budget for publishing ads

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for the suggestion Andy. No, I haven't tried them. In fact, I've never used any Google Ads. I've made a note of Dynamic Ads though as I was going to look into advertising next year. This is the year when I need to republish several of my books, revise my website and double my YouTube...

    How do you get traffic to your newly published website without any budget for publishing ads

    MARKETING 
    I built my site entirely organically but it does take time for the SEO to produce volume. Around 6 years ago my site was doing ok with around 3,000 unique visitors a day for a niche topic. I won't go into the details but my hosting company managed to have my domain delisted from Google. After...

    Building Email list - strategies, tools, tips & tricks

    MARKETING 
    I thought I would add my experience and thoughts to the list. I currently have 11,872 subscribers which I know isn't huge but I think this is a high-quality list which is what I've been aiming to build. My last monthly newsletter went to 11,768 subscribers, achieved an open rate of just over 52%...

    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    Thanks Andy. I have no idea yet how I will do this so it will be a lot of trial and error. I really appreciate your initial push and the videos you shared on your thread.

    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    YouTube has sucked me in and spat me out, possibly more confused than ever. I’ve been publishing videos on YouTube since 2017 but only made slow progress. Originally, I wanted to drive traffic to my website and sell my books with it. I’ve had some success, but it’s been steady with low volumes...

    An Example of Value

    MARKETING 
    We've established that you buy from Penguin rather than Vanishing because you like the neat personal touch with the video. I have seen something similar on another site, which I can't remember (I'm getting old) and thought it was impressive at the time. But it wouldn't get my repeat business...

    Writing For Dollars: Building A Digital Asset For Sale

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    You can't argue with that. If someone's ethics aren't in line with what you need it's a costly exercise to work with them. I'm looking forward to reading future updates on this thread. Thanks for sharing.

    Any chance you could pay him to do some of this as a side hustle? He may have a higher paying job but I bet it still isn't paying him enough.

    A Marketing Must: How to Get More Eyeballs to Buy Your Stuff...

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    This idea is pure gold. I've begun using it at the end of YouTube videos after a very helpful exchange with Andy Black on another thread. I wanted more people clicking to watch another of my videos because the average end screen click was a terrible 1.5%. When I used the Open Loop idea it...

    What will you focus on in 2022?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    My first goal is to get my monthly YouTube views over 100k. It's become a bit of a personal challenge even though it isn't my main business. The second is to only work 3 days a week. I put myself into retirement 5 years ago, closing down my company. I had a part-time "hobby" business to keep me...
