Thanks for sharing such a good post

Hey Kristen how's it going?

 

[Honeybadger]

I earned $600 in past 10 days
50% increase to previous 10 days ($400)
What is really vital you must keep learning
Listen to podcasts, read blogs, analyze competitors, ask questions

I make lot of notes you can read below

1. Use a ticking countdown clock (javascript - easy)
   
2. Give customer exclusive offer
3. Show discount (percent save + amount saved + previous price/new price)
4. Add new content every 6 hours so customer keep coming back
   
5. Add trending products (use Google Trends)
6. Make clear call to action (green button)
7. Let customer sign up for email alerts
8. Get rid of any unimportant buttons
9. Make call to action top & bottom of page
10. Again, check everything is ok on smart phone

@AmNovice

IDK "Business Plan"
A business plan to just make money with no strategy and tactics --is going to go nowhere --fast.
I prefer a strategy goal and tactics with pivot points --if you want to call that a 'business plan' --well, OK
What I am finding today are constant tactical pivot points all the time --because of the turbulent times (perhaps).

Re: Piercing the Corporate Veil
Just use corporate resolutions for major changes signed by the corporation's Secretary one other Officer.

I don't see the need to issue written instructions to myself --perhaps to employees --or commit to a written format a proposal or development plan to a client (or employer) for review.

I have new problem with discipline, partly because now $8,000 is coming and my original 'why?' it's gone (no urgency), f*cking Netflix all day & wasted whole 24 hours chilling with friends, my ranking start to drop, revenue dropping, general motivation just not there, even when I sit down quiet & no distraction --> any advice practical ?? TYVM

Today commission only $21 its 2nd worst since middle September, overall $8,550 so race to $10k target is getting very close (needs to earn $1,450 in 14 days)

In the USA 3,000 per day are dying of COVID19 --this is one of the most depressing situations I can recall. UK, and in general, Europe: is not well either. That and Google > Google antitrust: the lawsuits just keep coming - CNN >>may be reacting strangely right now too. So you are rowing upstream against public sentiment --chill a bit. You have developed good working habits and done well in bad times. Some turbulence is not surprising.

Tip of the day
Popularity wins !!

Homepage --> Put your most popular content on your home page
Blog --> sticky your most popular news/blog posts
Homepage & category pages --> make sure bestsellers are top
Google Trends -- > if it's trending today post about it
Social media --> what are today's trending hashtags in your niche?
Competitors --> what are your competitor's promoting today?
Keywords --> what keywords are in Console & Analytics today/yesterday?
Popular pages --> Promote your popular pages any way you can

Wow.. Nice!!

Wanna ask, How You find the good keywords? using some tools or just manually checking on Google Search?

 

[Graybeard]

Change your tactics not your strategy
Strategy is based on extensive research, planning, and internal reflection. It's a long-term vision, whereas tactics are short-term actions.
took that from the #2
the difference between strategy and tactics at DuckDuckGo

What is tactical pivot point?

When 'the plan' works only marginally, pivot to the alternates: "Plan B, C, D"
SEO and search engine organic traffic on trending items will trend down or become more competitive --that's a given.
It's never ending change when you play that game. Google is fickle and gets played a lot.

is the non commercial content on your site mostly about news e.g what's trending right now in the news in your niche? If yes how do you keep up updating the content as I assume this must be ever changing? Do you write yourself or outsource and what's the minimum article length you shoot for? The decline in traffic is worth looking and I am concerned about long term viability if you need to update the content like daily/weekly.
