Digital Marketing Through Content & Influence
This is the online marketing section of the blog. This is where I blog about stuff related to online marketing as a subset of digital marketing, sometimes it overlaps with affiliate marketing.
As I’ve been saying and demonstrating for 10+ years, you can monetize your traffic, heck that’s how the Internet works at large. You can monetize your social media profiles too. The hot term right now is influencer. So and so is an influencer, this person over here is a micro-influencer, you’ve heard it before. Eyeballs. Views. Clicks. That’s…
Imagine that you placed an order for something online, and just at the right time the company sends you a text to give you an update on your order. Doesn’t sound too crazy does it? It’s almost expected nowadays. Then when the order is on its way, they remind you one more time. Of course, you can log…
If you ever want to come and hang out with other Internet marketers, come and join us for a Dot Com Lunch meetup. We meet weekly to talk about all things related to online marketing, and digital marketing. We’ve also been doing this little weekly recap of stuff that hit our radar. This week we responded to a…
I had a chance to catch up with Adam Preiser from WPCrafter and Cartflows during the last WordCamp Orange County. Instead of drilling him about WordPress stuff, I decided to interview him and ask him about the explosive growth on his channel. Adam grew his channel from 60,000 subscribers and then pretty much doubled his subscriber numbers in…
This post isn’t about tacos. Well, it is, but not about tacos like you think, not tacos like you see on Instagram. Well, scratch that too. Because you see this on Instagram too. This is about how you sell your product. Specifically tacos. (I thought you said this wasn’t about tacos) Let me just tell you. I went…
I noticed in my Aweber account, people that have unsubscribed over the time still remain in my account. Every email list service I have used behaves this way. If someone unsubscribes, they are just marked as unsubscribed or inactive, but they remain in the account. These “dead” subscribers can affect your cost. Aweber charges you per subscriber, not…
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour. Sir Winston…

During my last visit to Affiliate Summit, I saw some new emerging technologies and interesting stuff happening. Chatbots is one of those things, they’re cutting edge and coming in hot. I had a chance to interview Heather Havenwood, author of the book Sexy Boss. Always staying ahead of the curve, Heather gave us some insights into an amazing…

This idea comes up every few months in one group or another. Let’s ask unsubscribers why they unsubscribed. Actually… let’s not. Emailing unsubscribers is nothing new, email marketers have been doing this for over a decade but there’s always some newbie that thinks they just discovered the biggest secret in the planet and start sharing it and posting…
Wow. Last time I visited Twittercounter.com it was to check in on my Twitter growth experiment but I found that the website has shut down. I haven’t dug into why Twittercounter shut down but I’m guessing they weren’t making enough money with their paid placements and other enhancements to their stats. Their announcement was simple and straightforward but…
