Check out what SumoMe is doing to get more traffic

How do you get more traffic?

Easy. Bribe people to tell their friends about you. 🙂

Think about it…

A few years back I started using Dropbox. Shortly after I signed up, they told me that if I would refer a few friends to use their service, then they would give me more storage.

Referring people is easy. So I did. And as a result they upgraded me from 2GB of storage to 10GB.

This is called an ethical bribe and it’s extremely effective.

How can you use this?

Check out what Noah Kagan and the team over at SumoMe are doing.

Quick hack to get more customers with Nerdy Data

Do you want more customers?

One of the quickest and most hacky ways to get more customers is to make a hit list: a list of folks who are either already buying from your competitors or are using products tangentially related to the product (or service) you sell.

Then reach out to every person on your list and tell them about your product.

Here is a super simple way to do that:

Step 1: Use NerdyData.com to get a list of websites using your competitor’s product.

“Worry, doubt and fear”: A video essay

Yesterday I ate lunch with an 80 year old man who still gets up at 6am every morning.

He volunteers at a local parking lot where he spends each morning monitoring the lot for 2 hours. He does this so that he can talk to the high school kids who park there for school each day.

His mission?

Encourage them. Bless them. Be there for them. Speak positivity into their lives.

The next 2 hours of his morning he spends reading. Mostly scholarly works pertaining to his Christian faith.

But he challenges himself. He challenges his ideals and beliefs every single day.

He’s currently obsessed with Buddha. (he has some really interesting theories pertaining to him)

Then the next hour he spends writing. Articles. Blog posts. Speeches he might give one day. Anything that comes to mind.

He does all of this by 11am each morning.

When I asked him why he followed this routine, he responded

[Live Case Study] 14-Day Facebook Ad Experiment

What’s the #1 thing you are procrastinating on?

I know what mine is.

For 18 months, I’ve performed over 100 different marketing experiments and reported the results back to you with detailed case studies on how you can use the experiments in your business.

But there is one thing I’ve completely avoided…

Facebook Ads.

It’s time to change that!

🙂

I have a goal of growing my email list to 40,000 email subscribers by September 30th.

Currently I have 17,134.

One of the 4 core strategies I originally planned to use to hit my goal was paid advertising.

But we’re 24 days into the quarter and I’ve been dragging my feet. Mainly because I’m completely intimidated by it.

• “What if I waste a bunch of money?”

• “How do I create a good ad?”

• “What if my ad doesn’t convert?”

• “What audiences should I target?”

• “What if my tracking isn’t set up correctly and I don’t know who converted and who didn’t?”

You know… all the stupid crap we get hung up on when doing something new.
