I’ve been using this really cool chat bot on my WordPress blog for months now. I actually got it setup first in July 2020 and it’s been working tirelessly getting me subscribers and even made a few sales from it. Pretty cool, right?

I got a message from a new friend the other day and they mentioned that they noticed I wasn’t getting much engagement on my Facebook profile posts. They also said that sharing my videos from my page to my persona profile was an “engagement killer” in Facebook. I checked out their profile and could see they probably knew what they were talking about. Should you care about engagement? Don’t get me k...

Over a year ago, I put together a free e-book on the 12 critical steps to your online success. It’s been too long since I talked about it, so I decided to do these two episodes to talk about it again. Before getting into it though, let’s get one thing clear. Should I define success? Recently, someone told me something that got to me realize something. Cryptic eh? Well, if you didn’t know, you can...

I’ve been busy creating daily content and because I only have limited time, it’s been a struggle to get the new features out of Click eCourse. If you didn’t know, I’ve created a course hosting site that you can find at https://clickecourse.com I know there are tons of hosting options but I couldn’t find any that met my needs, so I decided to build it myself. What is Click eCourse anyway? Let’s exp...

So, you got your Facebook Ad account or Business account disabled! I’ve been running Facebook Ads for over 5 years and was taken off guard when I was no longer able to edit my audiences. See, every day, I post these episodes and add the Facebook video post to the list of videos to my custom audience. But, on Dec 24th, 2020, I got the dreaded message “This a account is prohibited from advertising”!...

If there’s one social platform you should be using to grow your business, it’s definitely LinkedIn. You might want to just use it to find a job too. It’s really the most business oriented of the social media platforms right now. Even though it’s becoming more and more used similarly to other platforms, it’s still the best for business growth. Why LinkedIn? When you think of LinkedIn, you’re probab...

Another year is behind us and I took lots of time off between Christmas and New Years. Now I have to catch up. I would just skip a week but that doesn’t feel right to me. What is your daily activity? The first thing you need to ask yourself is what is your daily activity. I mean, what did you not do while you were off? For me, it’s quite a few things but that’s because I choose to do those things....

A new year is here! This is when we usually think of New Year’s resolutions. I’ve been taking lots of time off in this last week. It was a restful week but I can’t help to think about the plans for the New Year! This is short one I will make this post short though because it was a long year. Lots has happened in 2020 and we need a fresh start. I had the last week on 2020 off from my day job. I did...

What did you accomplish in 2020? It was a pretty crazy year for sure, one that we will remember forever. It was also a very sad year for many, some lost loved one to the pandemic and many got very sick. We were very lucky to not have been hit by covid-19 but I know many weren’t lucky. My big accomplishments for 2020 The year started off with my new eBook – The 12 Critical Steps to Your Online Succ...

Before you can host a successful master class, you need a few things to keep track of who is attending. Unless you want to just deliver it in a Facebook or YouTube live session, which I don’t recommend, you’ll want to get these things setup. There’s definitely a lot to do to host a master class and I’ve been talking about it a lot since I’m preparing to do one myself. Let’s get you setup for a suc...

If there’s one thing that is constant in the course creation world, it’s that we don’t always know what our audience really wants. Sure, we can guess pretty good, especially if our audience is us in the past, but we can’t know because they aren’t really us. This is what an Ask Campaign is al about. The idea is getting to know what your audience really wants to know. Before setting up your Ask Camp...

When you think about a master class, it’s easy to think you aren’t worthy of it. You think to yourself: maybe I can do a class on this but I’m not good enough yet to do a master class!

It’s belief – belief in yourself, in the ability to delivery the...

If you’re putting together a master class, you’ll need people to attend. You could get people to join by spending money on ads, but no one has enough money for that Of course, once you have lots of social proof and you can sell your final recorded master class for $2,000 or $5,000 then ads will be fine I’m sure. But what about in the beginning? Before you have any social proof and ads would cost w...

Yesterday, I talked about a mastermind that you could turn into a course. I probably should have said a master class because that’s really what it is. Today, we’ll continue on that path. In the end, it’s about putting together something that has value to your audience using a live format first. What is a Master Class?

That doesn’t mean what the course is about, although that’s import...

I got approved! Well, maybe it’s not such a big deal, I’m sure they are approving lots of marketers. I’m not sure anymore how I requested access to the platforms, but I’m guessing I wend to the TikTok ads url and requested it. Anyway, I received the approval email and proceeded to setup my account. Setting up the account The first thing you’ll need to do is go to https://ads.tiktok.com and registe...

On the weekend I had a great call with a new friend I met online. He helps entrepreneurs scale their online business. We had a great talk and one thing that came out of it was that I needed to be more specific with my messages. So, this is me being more specific. Course Income Secrets should be about secrets to generating course income. Today, it’s that you need to have a tribe before you can make...

I was going to quit my daily videos today! I’ve been thinking about doing them just once a week instead. Many have said that a weekly video is good enough and that’s what top leaders do anyway. However, as I was creating my various posts for the coming week I realized that if I created just one video a week, there would be platforms where there would be a void to fill. What do top leaders do? The...

I was talking to a friend about my lack of results on a particular offer I had been working on. She told me that she wasn’t able to understand what my offer was and we started talking about why that was. It got me thinking about quite a few things. Namely how much I prepare before I take action. How much is too much preparing? I know that opinions on this go from one end of the scale to the other....
