In this video, I discuss the effectiveness of direct sales emails compared to newsletters for most people starting businesses. I present two examples and analyze the analytics behind recent emails I personally sent. I emphasize the importance of a concise and focused sales email with a clear call-to-action (CTA) for better results. While newsletters have higher scalability in the long run, for the majority of us, crafting one-off sales emails yields higher returns in relation to the time investe...

I’ve always been too scared to advertise. There are a few reasons for this. I don’t fully trust Facebook or other digital ad networks. (Does anyone?) They have pulled the rug out from under me so many times that I feel foolish giving them money. I don’t know what I’m doing, and therefore don’t want to burn cash.

Most podcasts haven't published a new episode in weeks. Hardly any podcast publishers publish their content consistently over time. 2. Podcasts are easy to create. All you have...

Service businesses have a problem. They can only scale their business in proportion to the amount of time they can buy. If they sign new clients, that means they need to be able to serve those clients which means they need to hire more employees. If you are doing service work, there is only so much you can increase your prices before you hit a ceiling. So how do we scale a service business such as an agency? How do we free up our time while simultaneously increasing our profits? This is where Br...
