Listen Later

Bob Sparkins, the Manager of Partnerships and Education at Leadpages, made the leap from being a high school history teacher to working in the online business world. After experiencing frustration with the limitations of the traditional classroom, Bob started exploring ways to make extra money online. He initially dabbled in network marketing but found more success in teaching others about online marketing tools and strategies. Eventually, his business income surpassed his teaching income, leading him to leave the classroom and join the Leadpages team.


In this episode, Bob and Heather discuss the power of Leadpages, a tool that can help you build landing pages and sales pages to sell your digital products. Learn the benefits of using Leadpages, its ease of use, and the support provided by the Leadpages team.
