Leveling Up with Eric Siu

Hi everyone, today I'm talking to Derek Halpern of Social Triggers, a popular online marketing blog.

In today's interview, we talk about how Derek went from being a celebrity gossip columnist to a corporate employee in a Fortune 100 company, to striking it out on his own again as an entrepreneur and the content strategy he used to grow Social Triggers from nothing to 70,000 subscribers in just 16 months. (Today his website claims 300,000.)

Hey everyone, in today’s episode I share the mic with Chase Granberry, co-founder of Authority Labs, which allows you to track rankings on Google and Bing.

Listen as Chase discusses how he built the company by hustling and being the best in the SEO software space, the value of zeroing in on one thing when it comes to growing a company, why it's so important to track rankings, how he struggled to scale the technical side of the business when he knew nothing, and how positive thinking and reading voraciously are two key factors that have contributed to his own success.
