How To Plan A Blog Post In 10 Minutes So You Can Write It Better And Faster

Image
Every website owner loves the idea of a blog. They love hearing about how adding a blog to your website is one of the fastest and easiest ways to increase traffic , improve search engine rankings , build a big email list , gain expert positioning , and attract new clients . They love the impact it can have on their social media content strategy and they love that blogging for business is free—it doesn’t add another monthly bill. But blogging isn’t really free—it takes time, energy, focus, and commitment. Blogging is a long-term strategy, so even though time is being taken away from billable work to write blog posts , there more than likely isn’t going to be an immediate return on investment. Plus, because we’re an instant gratification society, this causes frustration and makes site owners want to spend less and less time creating new blog content , because it’s a lot of work and they don’t get an immediate reward.

This Guy Turned an ‘Eat a Bag of Dicks’ Joke into a $150,000 Gummy Shlong Empire

Image
#TurningJokeinto$   Brady Grumpelt holds his glass high. "Gentlemen, to evil," he proclaims, and with that we down our shot of Jameson. He's pretty nonchalant for a man who earned $80,000 off gummy dicks in one day. On March 4, 2015 while half cut on whiskey, Grumpelt bought the domain dicksbymail.com hoping to have a little corner of the internet where anyone can pump in $20 and, as a result, a person of their choosing would receive a literal bag of peckers alongside a letter instructing the receiver to eat them. It all started out as a simple joke that Grumpelt came up with at his bartending job. Initially, the idea was far more vulgar than it's current state. The first version involved sending someone, not gummy pricks, but a cheap dildo with a letter that said "go fuck yourself." Grumpelt felt that it might have been a tad extreme and decided instead to go with the gummies. It was a good idea, one that got Grumpelt a few sales here and there....

How to start your importing business

 Yesterday, I posted a blog - how to start an import and export business. In the blog, I highlighted some important business tips on what someone needs to know before venturing into export/import business.   In furtherance to that discussion, I will like to link you up with a good friend of mine, who has made almost six-figure every month in importing business. May I introduce to you Mr. Godswill Ohazuruike, the President - Gurus Marketing Services. Ohazuruike has been into this business since 2008. He has this to say. “Getting started in importation business has never been this easy as it is now. When I started back in 2008, the process was tedious, very hard and manual in the sense that every payment has to be done via bank wire which takes 2 to 3 days for the suppliers to receive it and the risk was very high as you get to make the payment directly to the suppliers, Believe it or not you don't want to know how much I lost back then”. But the current system of impor...

How to Start an Import/Export Business

            #Business In today's blog, I'm going to discuss on how someone can start up a mini-Import or Export business. Therefore, for the benefit of my readers who may have interest in Importation and Exportation, this post will serve as a guide for you to get started.   Every business needs consumers for its products and services to, as the Vulcans so eloquently put it, live long and prosper. Now that you know what running an import/export business entails, you need to plan, or target, your market, and determine who your potential clients will be, which geographic areas you'll draw from, and what specific products or services you'll offer to draw them in. This is a very important phase in the mega-trader building project. The proper market research can help boost your trading company into a true profit center, and the more research you do, the better prepared you are before you officially open your doors, the...
