It can seem overwhelming when you start to think about it. But it's really quite simple, and today I'm going to share with you a fantastic way to create a valuable piece of content … [Read more...]

March 21, 2012 By Jackie Lee 24 Comments

It's so easy to just decide to go into business. Pick a topic, find some keywords and go. Right? Wrong. Well, technically it is that easy, but if you want long term success, conversion and sales there's a little more that goes into it. :) I've noticed a lot of people choose a blog title based on just keywords, or on themselves... and this is a mistake. At every step of the process you want to have in the forefront of your mind "what's in it for them"... them being your reader. The problem … [Read more...]

How to Ruin Your Business in One Easy Step

March 8, 2012 By Jackie Lee 55 Comments

Back when I was in college a friend introduced me to the author Richard Bach. I have read all of his books, and loved them all. As I was reading One, which I love, I was entranced by one concept in the book. Shine who you are, clear calm and bright. Those who you have something to teach will automatically be drawn to you ~ as well as those from whom you have something to learn. It sounds a little like attraction marketing, before attraction marketing existed by name. ;) I bring this quote … [Read more...]

If you're creating an online business ~ no matter what it is ~ you're going to need content. If you're blogging, you're going to need to write blog posts. (or make videos if you choose), if you're creating … [Read more...]
