    Podia Review: A Convertkit, Clickfunnels AND Teachable alternative that’s modern and affordable

    What if I told you that this software that I’ve just done a review on could replace at least 4 other programs?
    What if that new software could combine your digital download delivery, the platform you sell your courses, ebooks and digital products on, your membership site and your email marketing? It’s time for a Podia review! You’d say wow, won’t you?
    That’s what this new software does, I recently discovered it and I’m in shock. 
    Here’s the Podia review you’ve been waiting for.

    You can easily customize it to your own site, as it’s 100% white-labeled. No more ugly forwards and change of design. Payments go straight to the creator’s (that’s you!) PayPal or Stripe account, with no transaction fees. That means a seamless course/membership site/content delivery and email marketing strategy. And all under 1 digital storefront. How nice. It’s less than $35 a month, can you believe it?

    It can replace Gumroad, Thinkific, Teachable, Convertkit, Udemy, AND Clickfunnels. You’ll save at least $100 a month if you use all.

    What To Be Aware Of When Traveling To Promote Your Business

    It’s such an exciting part of your business, when you are building your brand outwards, and making all of those little trips for conferences, meetings, expos, and the feeling finally hits home, “I’ve made it! I’m an entrepreneur!” And you can’t argue with this feeling, it’s pretty exciting to begin with, when you’re heading to the airport, hiring cars and zigzagging around so much. But when you travel so much to promote your business, and you’re expanding ever further, into other countries and territories, what do you need to be aware of? (more…)

  • Fresh Ideas For A Dull Business

    Fresh Ideas For A Dull Business

    We don’t want to offend anyone here, but it’s so easy for a business to be dull. You know when you walk round a store and you just see every staff member walking around like a zombie? Or you know when you see an advert to a new product, and you just think they couldn’t have made it more boring if they tried? Sometimes you just know a dull business when you see one, but then you also know a bright and interesting one when you see one. Some companies are just more focused on being that beacon of light that every business knows about. Think about Google as an example. Everyone knows them to be this super cool and hip company, with the coolest offices in all of the business world. So you see, being a fresh business is not only good for morale, but for reputation. But before we babble on for too long, let’s focus on some fresh ideas for your possibly dull business!

    Struggling to get your business off the ground? Maybe It’s time to scale down!

    You look to the sky and imagine a world full of possibility. A world in which success, wealth and the feeling of personal fulfillment that has eluded you throughout your career are within your grasp. You have the perfect business plan in mind. You’ve done the market research and after hours of sifting through reams of quantitative and qualitative data you’ve ascertained a quantifiable interest in your product or service. You’ve probably even set up the necessary social media accounts, hired a freelancer to design a logo, established a rudimentary online presence and laid the foundations upon which you can build your brand. Your business is like a fledgling bird just waiting to take off and soar. Unfortunately, there’s a house brick called finance tied to its slender little ankle. Image by Flickr (more…)

  • Are you keeping your employees engaged?

    Are you keeping your employees engaged?

    If you want your business to be as productive and successful as possible, you need to make sure you have numerous things in place. One of the most important things you need to have in place is engaged employees. Just because your employees are sat staring at a screen each day doesn’t mean they are engaged, happy, or working! In fact, when an employee doesn’t feel engaged at work, they tend to slack off and get less done. The work they do tends to be of a lower quality, too. So, are you keeping your employees engaged?

  • Bringing prestige to your small business

    Bringing prestige to your small business

    When starting out in the world of small business it can feel as though you’re just one in an endless choir of voices. Alone larynx in a sea of thousands, screaming at the top of your lungs and hoping that you’ll be heard in the cacophony. The world of small business is a wonderful thing, especially in the digital age. It prevents the corporate leviathans from consolidating their stranglehold on the economy. Speaking of the economy, small businesses are tremendously useful on that front. They create jobs, generate wealth and drive innovation. They treat their employees well, they make a valuable contribution to their communities and pay their taxes. And yet, despite the myriad economic and social benefits they bring, small businesses often flounder in an economy dominated by multinational titans. Why? Why must 50% of startup businesses fail within their first 5 years because the customers that could have sustained them chose to take their business to Amazon? Why must we hand more and more economic power to tax dodging mega corporations because consumers see more value in familiarity than in quality? (more…)
