A few weeks ago we started help­ing one of our part­ners set up a suc­cess­ful pres­ence on Face­book. His name is Burt Gold­man, The Amer­i­can Monk.
I’m guess­ing he’s prob­a­bly the ONLY 81 year old monk with more than 1,000 true friends on the social net­work, which brings me to my story.

Here are three more ways to spice up your body copy, and, being a writer, I couldn’t help but make them all start with the let­ter “S” –to help you remem­ber bet­ter.
After you’ve writ­ten your body copy, bul­let point and/or head­lines, there are three tips in this eval­u­a­tion process for your bul­lets or head­lines.
Start With â€˜S’

If you have ever won­dered why you couldn’t con­vince your wife to buy that Fer­rari, or why your cus­tomers don’t seem to ‘get’ what you are des­per­ately try­ing to sell them, it’s really not your fault. Our Chief Math­e­mati­cian revealed these mys­ter­ies through the power of maths/physics/scientific proof.
Below is his bril­liant pre­sen­ta­tion dur­ing our […]

If you con­struct your land­ing pages right, you’ve got a lot of beach time ahead of you. Your land­ing page is the first step to cap­tur­ing all that traf­fic you’re pay­ing for. A well-made land­ing page could be the dif­fer­ence between a web­site that’s your hobby and a web­site that funds your vaca­tions.
If you’re spending […]

I am at the Con­ven­tion Cen­ter in KL and the room is packed with over 2,500 peo­ple.  There is a stand­ing ova­tion even before Joe Girard has come on stage.  The energy in the room is elec­tri­fy­ing… while I might have been tired just 5 min­utes ago I am now wide awake wait­ing with eager […]

As I write this, we are 8 hours and 45 min­utes from launch­ing a totally new prod­uct.
Before you go into a frenzy, it is not in the inter­net mar­ket­ing field. It’s actu­ally a new per­sonal devel­op­ment prod­uct we’ve been work­ing slav­ing over for sev­eral weeks and are now releas­ing to the world.
As you’ve prob­a­bly figured […]

I just had a reader post the fol­low­ing com­ment below our post on “How to Get from 20 Mil­lion to 100 Mil­lion in Online Sales”
I don’t usu­ally pub­li­cize com­ments. But this is an excep­tion. As I was read­ing this com­ment and the strat­egy the writer shared, it kept remind­ing me of some lessons I learned […]

At Orlando I got invited to din­ner with the very mem­o­rable duo of Travis Miller and Jimmy Vee. These guys are the authors of Grav­i­ta­tional Mar­ket­ing: The Sci­ence of Attract­ing Cus­tomers.
It’s a fas­ci­nat­ing con­cept and has to do with the idea of posi­tion­ing your­self as a maven and being “dif­fer­ent” from the norm.
I found Jimmy and […]

At the recent Strate­gic Prof­its sem­i­nar I attended in Florida I got intro­duced to Mary Ellen Tribby of EarlyToRise.com.

Ear­ly­ToRise is owned by Agora Pub­lish­ing, which in Tribby’s words is an “Idea Com­pany” and they focus on direct mar­ket­ing.
I was totally blown away when they shared their met­rics with me. They have a list of […]

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:
No change in page views.
The aver­age user page view had no change, which was sur­pris­ing, but the […]
