    The Shortest Google Ads Tutorial Ever

    MARKETING 
    Great video - but not for me. It's too fast and intense. For an advanced user, it looks fantastic. Which leads me to invite you to engage in "promo time" for one of your courses. I looked at your "Google Ads Jumpstart" course and it look like a hard hitting to the point course PACKED full of...

    Google Just Killed My Website

    MARKETING 
    All of your points are well taken and greatly appreciated. The thing that is different from what you have said (quoted above) is Google has NO information to be helpful. Not only that, but when I ask POINT BLANK five times (or more) and get a canned response that ignores everything I've said -...

    Thank you - all great information. In fact, this may be the KEY to unlocking the entire mess. I have access to this - however, I am sure they hate me with a passion. I sure do hate them with a passion. They could have helped me in SOME small way at any time - like giving me the SAB...

    Google Just Killed My Website

    MARKETING 
    They shut down my business profile which makes me invisible for keywords I use for marketing, and I also do not show up on maps. If you knew how important SEO marketing is, you would know they basically erased me from being found by a huge segment of customers. That's pretty serious stuff...

    Where can I find a decent website graphic designer?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Ooooo - that's a tough one. I've always had good luck with FIVVER. I've yet to find something they can't do, and the people have referrals so you can find ones with some experience. Prices are all over the board.

    Wow - great information, and your first link to the article from 39celsius should be required reading for every person using SEO. And after ALL that GREAT information - you want to landfill this? I can't count the hours I've spent researching this, both using the internet, and through VERY...

    Hey - I did say I can be bought, right? A lot of problems can be solved by money. I guarantee that if you wrote the worst possible article on me, and everyone believed it - I could disappear and not cause any problem whatsoever - for a price. I guarantee that if you think you can run my...

    Thanks for the perspective MJ, but I am a bit puzzled. If I CAN reach Moby Dick-like porportions, that's what I want to do. I have avenues to hit Google hard. I don't have to have money - I have rocks to throw and I can publicly hang them in the town square. Of course, the male DNA in me...

    You are totally right on all counts @theag - yes, it is my business profile, not my website. As much as they would like to, they can't touch my website. They can, however, block it on their search results. Being that my Google keyword search results always had the "20+ years in business" tag...

    Wow, do I have a lot to do. I came here to get some real world advice, which is always Grade A++. Google "disabled" my website, which has been active and very productive for over 20 years. They did this without any notification of any kind. I found it after I noticed a definite drop off of...

    Great kick start. I have fallen into the rut of some of these lies. I can't keep up all of the time. OK - no guilt - I needed a break and time to regroup. Time to reenter the race. I will not focus on wasted time - as I now have bigger and better ideas. Far better. Ideas are like plants -...

    I said: "The website is $3000". They said: "Too expensive! I was thinking $500!"

    And THERE it is ^^^^^^ You are NOT selling a website - you are selling a system. You are selling a process. The ONLY reason they will buy your system is to GET a process that will PRODUCE results. Period. Think of it this way. A warehouse of 3,000 sf may cost you $200,000. Is that a good...

    Didn't preorder. Although I have had a love affair with Kindle for many years, some books are reserved for "indulging" in a comfy chair and relishing them - piece by piece. Others I order through Kindle, not expecting to reread them much, if at all. It appears I can only order the Kindle...

    Starting a service business for real estate agents

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    IF you don't have a backup plan on paying your bills, real estate can starve you to death. If you need a backup plan, being a TC or getting into rental property management are two areas that can supplement your income. It's a tough business - so have a working backup plan. Don't depend on...

    Oh, just give me a break... I just took a look at one of the TC websites... Remember the story about me calling the virtual office people - and they didn't answer their phone? Well, here we go again. This TC office doesn't even know what they're selling - it's supposed to say PEACE of mind...

    Wow, are you making this hard. As a real estate agent, my number ONE best purchase is a TC. The vast majority of agents would agree with me. My number TWO area of assistance would be marketing. THREE would be a virtual assistant that would answer the phone 24/7 - and follow my basic script...

    WOW - what a ton of wisdom in so few words! Well said - I salute AND applaud you @Sean P! First of all - I don't do construction, but I do work closely with people that do. It's not an easy job - but the pay can be great, and there is always work for good people. With that said - ask a...
