Log in to your favorite social platform and look at your feed.
For each post you find uninteresting, click the profile of the person who posted it and review their last five posts.
If none are interesting, unfollow them.
Do that until you unfollow at least 10 people and you’ll be amazed how much better your feed gets.
Now, on to this week’s ideas…
The Starting Five
1. How To Use A Newsletter To Sell Products
I’ve sold more than $100,000 worth of my products through my newsletter and in this blog post I share how to attract your target audience, introduce them to your products, and get them to buy.
Successful creative entrepreneurs are more strategic about their content than most people realize and this is a great breakdown of the step-by-step process that’s helped Dan Koe build a thriving audience and business.
3. How To Ask For Payment In An Email
It’s one thing to get people to hire you, it’s another to get them to pay you. These email templates can help.
4. 10 Simple Copywriting Tips To Get More Clicks, Subscribers, And Sales
These are basic, but I bet you’re not doing most of them (I haven’t been). They’ll help remove the friction that prevents people from taking the action you want them to take.
5. The 5 Phases Of Building An Independent Career Based On Your Expertise
There are a lot of gems in this one, but one of my favorites is the concept that “how much time you have is really about how much energy you have.”
