Online 🌐 With Amr The Internet Guy, Helping business owners become more successful online

🎧This is Online with Amr The Internet Guy! The show focuses on entrepreneurs and business owners, helping them become more successful in conducting their business on the web without being stuck with Technology 😱, getting a headache, pulling their hairs out, or buying expensive software!

I am with a special guest from New Jersey. Jill Whalen, who is the owner of Longevity Fitness & Wellness, and a certified personal trainer/fitness coach specializing in women's fitness as well as seniors' wellness and fitness.
This conversation was an eye-opener for me, learning more about the wellness and fitness goals once you hit the 40 years mark, and how they differ from those goals when you're younger.

We discuss lots of interesting stuff, especially how to pivot and make it online as a fitness/personal trainer & coach, what works, and what does not!
What makes this conversation even more interesting is that Jill is my first podcast guest who does NOT have a website, yet she was very successful in moving her training online.
This is an episode that you will certainly enjoy.

Episode 13
In This episode, we are discussing writing, not just any writing but writing a book! Why?
We'll get to that in a bit!
My Guest from Quebec is Monsieur/ Leandre Larouche, an avid writer, publisher, podcaster, and writing coach.  He helps people write and publish a book in 16 weeks, and to fall in love with the process of writing. 
There is more than one reason why anyone would write a book, especially if you are an entrepreneur! here are a few:

• Share your knowledge and wisdom with the world
• Do something that makes you happy
• Position yourself as the subject matter expert you are
• Growing your Business/Audience
• Become Unforgettable

If you are (like me) scared of writing, are stuck in writer's block!  Or believe that it is a difficult and painful process, listen on!
Everyone can learn to Write Quickly, Painlessly, & Effectively.
Enjoy!

Check her site https://www.cuisineandtravel.com out! The quality of photos and recipes are Amazing. 

As you may expect, a large website with a lot of visual high-quality content comes with many challenges, and the chief challenge would be its speed!

During this interview, Sondra shares her DIY website optimization experience and the approach she has taken - as a non-techie business owner - to make it 4 times faster! Brining it from an F to an A rating.  We go over the good stuff as well as the mistakes to avoid when embarking on your website optimization journey.
