Learn 3 simple solutions to massively speeding up your website. Page load speed is a big deal.

If you've been struggling with getting off the ground, there may be a good reason for it. That's what I'm talking about in today's episode of Adventures in Digital Marketing

Instead of getting all wrapped up in all that's scary and wrong in the world right now - and there is plenty of that to go around - I think it's vital that we all focus on what we can do to be part of the solution instead being part of the problem. There are people fighting over bottled water and toilet paper (seriously - that's a thing) because they're scared. As creators, we have to focus on how we can speak in to the world of our audience and provide help and solutions instead of fear and panic. That's what we're talking about in this episode.

Coronavirus talk is everywhere, and affecting everything. Just because we're focused on online business doesn't mean that we don't have to take this seriously, because a lot of our businesses have to do with real-world stuff even though out businesses are online. 

What's the most crucial part of sales? Everyone struggles to increase their online sales. It's a challenge that's as old as the internet itself. 

The problem is things are changing and if you don't know what's the best and most efficient way of doing it, you're not going to see the results you want to see!

And if you're not getting the results then that means the sales aren't coming in and that means trouble for any business.

I've learned the key to unlocking exponential sales online and that's what I'm talking about in this episode!

Have you heard Sara Blakely's story? I've heard it for years - she's alumna of my alma mater, Florida State University, so when the topic of my college comes up, her name is usually pretty quick to be mentioned. I was reminded of her story at Funnel Hacking Live and it's an amazing story. But the light really came on for me this time and I saw her story in a whole new light. 

You see, as online entrepreneurs, we struggle when things get hard. We wonder if we're cut out for all this. We wonder (with a healthy twinge of jealousy) at how the known entities in our space have had so much success, and are confused when we can't replicate it.

For us, discouragement and frustration are all too real - no one is immune from these things. 

But after revisting Sara's story at FHL I figured out two critical components - two indispensable qualities - that are absolutely critical if we're going to make it to the level we aspire to, and that's what I'm talking about in this episode.

One of the biggest challenges all online entrepreneurs face is finding things that work among all the things that don't work. The problem is, in most instances, we don't know what we don't know so we have to keep working on things, rearranging, reformulating and reworking so we can figure out what's going to work. It costs us time, effort, and money to do these things. And this is exactly what I've been working on lately. I've completely revamped one of my funnels from top to bottom and it's had some really nice secondary implications for my online work and that's what I'm talking about in this episode.

The temptation to get frustrated when stuff isn't going your way is an easy trap to fall into. I know I've been there. But what I've learned is that getting frustrated doesn't help anything and by getting curious instead you can ask better questions and find new solutions to problems. In this episode I'm covering some of the things I've been working on and the latest update on the WordPress Website Challenge.
