    Yes, I immediately backed up everything when I heard this. I guess I would expect Amazon servers to be safer... but maybe not.

    PEOPLE QUESTION 
    That's great that you're interested in entrepreneurship! 15 is a great time to start because you don't have to worry about bills or failure or responsibilities. And your non-entrepreneurial friends can help you learn about what typical customers want. When I was 15 I started a clothing line and...

    Writing For Dollars: Building A Digital Asset For Sale

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Oh, one more thing to note. Each of those jumps in traffic is only from 1 or 2 articles each. The results are not evenly spread out so getting just a few big hits can lead to a ton of traffic.

    Thanks for your kind words! I now get ~215k/mo. All the little 01s at the bottom show January of the last 6 years. As you can see, it took me years to get the hang of SEO. During this time, I was actually building my skills freelance writing on a higher ranking site (I actually get 200k...

    Writing For Dollars: Building A Digital Asset For Sale

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    My business uses a similar model and one key thing I've learned is: it takes time. Our Content Writing efforts usually show up in traffic growth 6 months to 1 year later. (See pic below) Keep it up and you'll get there!

    Newsletter service: what am I doing wrong?

    MARKETING 
    Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing when I started (I still don't, but things sell so I must have learned something). Some of my favorite marketing folks: Neil Patel, Backlinko, Mike Dillard (not his courses, but his ideas on "attraction marketing" were helpful to me).

    Newsletter service: what am I doing wrong?

    MARKETING 
    Learning how to write marketing copy is probably the best thing I did for my business. If the first messaging doesn't work, try some other pitches. Also, some platforms work better than others for some products. And certain messages will work better for certain audiences. Just keep trying...

    Newsletter service: what am I doing wrong?

    MARKETING 
    What does you marketing copy look like (when you ask people to sign up)? Were the people you sent it to on the job market? How many people viewed it? I think I read that newsletter sign ups can be as low as 1-2%.

    Newsletter service: what am I doing wrong?

    MARKETING 
    Do you tell people that you offer this? It sounds like your newsletter has a lot of value—it's just a matter of communicating to your audience that value.

    MARKETING 
    You'll likely do better if you offer something for free in exchange for signing up for the newsletter (quiz report, e-book, PDF download, etc...). Of 100K viewers per month, I only get a handful of newsletter signups, but I get thousands of people who want to take my quiz or get my ebook. It...

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Ya, most of the people I talk to who are thinking of starting businesses talk about them like they are hobbies. "I want to do this so I'm going to do A, B, and C." Um... Good luck with that because what you want to do is irrelevant...
