Black Friday: 2-For-1 Bundle Offer – Ends Sunday
Thanksgiving. A day of thankfulness. And of gratitude. I thank you for being there – and I thank my family for putting up with me. 
Then, there’s Black Friday. The infamous “most busy shopping day of the year”. Well, far be it from me to stay out of the game.
Starting now – and ending bright and early on Monday morning at 9AM – I have an open offer. A “2 for 1″ offer.
How To DRAW Your WordPress Theme And Make It Work
Everybody with a blog wants to have a nice looking design.
It can also be one of the most frustrating things in the world – especially for people who have no idea how to code. Perhaps you are familiar with this one.
Well, there is a way where you can DRAW your theme. Practically like painting it on screen. No coding necessary. Just drag and drop, then setting up some settings.
OptimizePress Versus Premise – Which Is Better?
When Kajabi first launched, it seemed to raise the awareness in the market about automated marketing funnel systems. Kajabi was supposed to make squeeze pages, membership sites, all those little technical aspects of online marketing a lot easier.
Of course, Kajabi came with a monthly fee. So, it led people to look for alternatives. Sure, enough, there are many of them. I’ve looked at several of them, including Optimizepress, JVPress and Premise. There are others, too.
Wreck Diving On A Sunken Boat Wreck – And How It Helped My Business
It was a beautiful, clear morning as we pulled away from the marina in Clearwater, Florida.
There were at least 10 of us on board. We had met out there at the marina in order to go offshore about 20 miles and go diving.
I arrived with my big pile of diving gear that I bought for myself after I completed my certification. A brand new BC, regulator with auxillary (often called “the octupus” as a slang), even a dive computer.
I didn’t really know where we were going, exactly. I was going with some people from my diving group as well as the instructor. I knew it I would get wet…and that’s about all I knew.
Coming Up With Your Perfect Offer
In order to step off the cycle of stupid, you need to have an offer. At least one.
But, what if you don’t have one yet? Where do you start? How do you know what to offer?
It starts with coming up with your perfect offer. This exercise is great for anybody, but it is even more useful for somebody without much of an audience yet.
The New DavidRisley.com Office
A little over a week ago, my family moved into another house. It was a major hassle (obviously) and it happened to come right in between two business trips, but I think it will be worth it.
One of the major reasons we made the move was for my office space. I was working in a small space in the last house. I was thinking about renting an outside office, but then we got to looking at it…
Your Big “Why” – And Why Not Having One Is The Path To Failure
Have you ever sat down and really figured out WHY you want to see your blog or business take off?
What’s your mission?
Let me tell you a story…
The Blogger Cycle of Stupid
An awful lot of bloggers fall into this trap. Recently, I heard it referred to as “the cycle of stupid”.
See, I have a mission. And simply put, bloggers will keep falling off the grid unless they exit this cycle of stupid. That doesn’t help the world. Nobody gains when you arrive at the almost inevitable end of the cycle of stupid – which is… quitting.
So, the cycle of stupid looks like this…
How “Blog Monetization” Is Just Completely Wrong
A guy wants to open up a store. He is tired of his regular job and wants to do something different.
He reads a lot about stores. And then jumps right into setting up a store. He puts the shelves in there. He buys one of those big glowing “OPEN” signs. He makes everything all pretty. He looks forward to those hoardes of people who will, of course, come by to check out his pretty store.
Let’s say he even gets people to come in. He has the place all decked out. And he’s happy that he’s getting a little bit of foot traffic each day.
Then, one day, he sits down. And he asks…. “HOW AM I GOING TO MONETIZE THIS STORE?”
W.T.F?!
Finding New Traffic & Readers – Traffic Methods Ranked In Order of Effectiveness
The subject of getting traffic to a website is a BIG topic. It has a lot of moving parts and some things work better for some than for others. There is no single effective method to build traffic. If there were, everybody would be doing it.
It is true, however, that some things tend to be more effective than others. My personal experience in this business has shown this. And I’ve seen new bloggers over-emphasize certain things and they end up wasting time.
So, I’ve devised a chart to rank certain popular traffic generation methods in terms of effectiveness, scaled from 0 to 10. 0 means it is mostly a waste of time, and 10 means it works insanely well.
Hey, I'm David. Dont' know where to start? No worries. Let me help you get started.
