    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    And that's exactly the point. You need to serve the people who use the service (or who would like to but feel scared/confused) with a newsletter. Where there's a problem there's a profit opportunity. The big companies make things too technical for small businesses or individuals who can't employ...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Back in the 1980s, I worked in a Bank dealing with International Trade Finance for import and export. One of the guys I worked with ran a newsletter advising small businesses and individuals how to import and export. He would include information about logistics, how to act as a middleman, how to...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    @MJ DeMarco I've been playing with this for a couple of days now and wanted to say a big thank you for sharing. So far it's saved me at least 8 hours of work for less than an hour's effort. Today I used it to rewrite the Amazon description for my latest book. It made a superb job but what was...

    recurring revenue streams for products/services?

    QUESTION 
    I'm currently working on offering my courses on a subscription basis as well as a traditional one-time purchase following a chat with @Andy Black. My plan is to offer a quarterly subscription for around the price of a single course which should make it seem like a good deal. I'll also have a...

    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    Month 10 Update This is the update that last month I said I would stop doing. I changed my mind so soon because I want to remind myself of something. There is a 12-month cycle running in my niche and it’s stopping me from seeing progress. At the start of this experiment and several times...

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    CHAT 
    I agree. I think that some subjects translate well into video but with others, it doesn't add anything. You may well be in a niche where the written word is the best way to convey the message to most people.

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    CHAT 
    @Walter Hay the points you raise seem to treat book and course publishing as mutually exclusive activities. I publish video-based courses to provide my customers with a choice and the best possible learning experience. I am predominantly an author of books but supplement these with courses and...

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    CHAT 
    I just found the answer in their support documentation and video (Tax). Looks like they will do what I need in the EU at least. You can set up the system to have them collect and file the digital taxes on your behalf. But when it comes to the US, Canada and Australia (my other main markets)...

    Thanks Andy, their website looks interesting. I assume you are using them at the moment for your courses which is reassuring. I appreciate your help. The tax thing is a big one for me, but I will drop them a query to find out more. I may need to change my approach to selling courses and switch...

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    CHAT 
    Can anyone recommend a good platform for hosting courses for sale? I currently have Teachable school which is a subdomain of my website. Yesterday I received an email about feature changes. I'm now limited to having a maximum of 5 live courses (I currently have 10). If I want to be able to...

    I'm new to this forum

    INTRO 
    That's one hell of an intro and welcome. As someone who has been in a comfortable situation in the past, I think that I can relate a little to what you are experiencing. From reading your intro, what comes across is that you don't have a reason to change your situation. You haven't had a F*!! U...

    I know - I'm lucky. My name followed by the word "book" seems to get around 90 searches a month in the UK and more in the US. Some of my more popular titles seem to be searched for from what I can see. I have been meaning to try Google ads for some time but couldn't decide between that or...

    That makes sense and is subtly different to what works better on Amazon initially. I think it all comes down to buyer intent. This is brilliant and extremely helpful. Thank you. By the way, Lightroom comes up because the correct name for Lightroom is "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC". People...

    HOT! AMA 
    Thanks Andy. That's very helpful as was the video linked to in the article. The question that's swimming around in my head now is do I start with a broad search term or something more specific? For example, do I advertise "Learn Photoshop" or "Books to learn Photoshop"? If this were on Amazon I...

    I've seen you say this a few times in your videos and the forum. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how. I need to come up with the initial keywords to advertise. If I don't hit on one that potential customers are searching for then I'm still in the dark about what they are searching for...

    What improved your life so much that you wish you did it sooner?

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I can't comment on the treadmill but I agree that a standing desk is a life changer. I've been using one for 12 months and it's helped my posture a lot. I'll also add kettlebell training to the list. Since I began training regularly with kettlebells, long-standing neck and shoulder problems...
