The Starting Five
1. How To Build Relationships With People Who Can Help You
I just released a new Skill Session called The Relationship Builder. It's a 55-minute video that shows you a system you can use to find and form meaningful relationships with people in your niche who can help you grow your audience or business.
Get it for just $25 if you buy before Friday when the price doubles.
(You can also watch 3 free excerpts from it on the sales page so it's worth clicking the link above even if you're not going to purchase it.)
2. A Masterclass On Membership Communities
If you run a membership or ever thought of launching one, you need to see this interview I did with Jay Clouse.
3. The 10 Most Common Newsletter Signup Page Mistakes
Including why most people screw up the description of their newsletter.
4. How To Get More By Saying Less
I was recently interviewed on The Bootstrapped Founder podcast and explained how to get people to subscribe to your newsletter, why less is more when it comes to writing, and how to develop an audience-centric approach to business.
5. How To Win Back Inactive Email Subscribers
This step-by-step guide to reactivation campaigns shows how to turn non-openers back into openers.
