“Blogging is not dead, blogging is just changing.”
Neil Patel is the co-founder of Crazy Egg, Hello Bar and KISSmetrics. He helps companies like Amazon, NBC, GM, HP and Viacom grow their revenue. The Wall Street Journal calls him a top influencer on the web, Forbes says he is one of the top 10 online marketers, and Entrepreneur Magazine says he created one of the 100 most brilliant companies in the world.
Neil has an ambition to help generate more traffic and get more eyeballs to anyone’s website which is why I reached out to him. There is so much clutter out there in the digital world so finding ways to cut through in order to get your message, services and products noticed, is critical.
The focus of the questions revolves really around how I, as a blogger, may help get more reach, and in this process I hope the lessons can be transferable to whatever interests you pursue. At the end of the day if you are looking for ways to make your passion, your life, you will need to find a way to monetise it and this will require the ability to create an audience.
Neil has certainly made his riches and continues to do so by providing great value to others. His message however that you certainly don’t need to be rich to be happy, you simply must love what you do. I think in this episode, while at times it seems a little of track, you will certainly find some gold.
Enjoy! Peace, passion and purpose.
