Ok, as I mentioned, we did a few tweaks to the blog to see what would happen.
The changes we did were:

Append "about the author" to the end of each post
Append "related posts" to the end of each post
Append a link to our free internet marketing course to the end of each post

Sadly, I don't [...]

Hi mike,
You know what today is, don't you?
As I indicated in yesterday's email to you, if you decide
not to give Market With Postcards a fair try within the
next 24 hours, we'll remove you from our opt-in list.
No offense, but we only provide our best offers for our
clients and students and because you've let [...]

The headline might have been a little sneaky because you already know how.
We used our trusty appetizer-main dish method of email marketing, which I gave the theory on here and further how-to here.
The method was for one of our personal development sites and revolved around Spring cleaning (this was our "reason why").
We provided them a [...]

You may have noticed a month or so back that we briefly experimented with appending some "related post" links at the end of each entry. With a total disregard to building up the story, I'll tell you the ending right now:

This probably isn't new to most of you, but one idea stuck out.
What if you're new to the market or launching a new product and don't yet have testimonials (the [...]

Back near the end of last year we ran an extremely successful email promotion that made us a boat load of money. In just a few days it tallied up the normal monthly profit.
And it only took about 1.25 days to research, devise, and execute.
I first blogged about it here, but below is a short [...]

A quick look back, a quick look ahead...
 
... and what it all means for YOU.
One might say the "entity" that is MindValley Labs went through some soul searching recently.
The Lab has hit that middle-age time of life. We looked at it and asked, "What are we really doing here?"
"Does it make sense?"
"What were our [...]

We just recently ran an AdWords test showing how important your ads' first word can be.
So the next logical test would be on the very last word, right?
Right.
Take a look:

Our defined goal was click-thru-rate and  the ad with the test-word removed did better... much better. Our conversion rate results are not statistically significant yet [...]
