6 Social Media Platforms You Should Know

Nature likes the number six. Insects, one of the most common forms of life, have six legs. Carbon, the element present in all living matter, has the atomic number 6. The factors of 6 (1, 2 and 3) add up to six. Mathematically, this makes 6 the first perfect number.

In other words, the number 6 has a lot going for it.

Since June is also the sixth month of the year, it makes it a great time to start our social media series. To kick things off, we’ll talk about 6 social media platforms you should be aware of in 2019.

5 Tips for Organic List Building

No matter what your walk of life, you’ve seen natural talent in action. It could have been a sports phenom who made the extraordinary look easy.

6-Part List-Building Series: Using Your Website

6-Part List-Building Series: Using Your Website

If you want to connect with your customers, an email list is a must. So we’ve created a six-part series on building this invaluable link to your customer base. Here are 5 ways to build your list using your website:

Create a pop-up for each page of your website.

This is probably the most popular way to build an email list through a website. But don’t fret. Pop ups aren’t as bothersome as they sound. Today, they are usually timed so that once a visitor to your website spends a certain number of seconds on your page, he or she will receive a pop-up relevant to their behavior. Follow best practices when creating your pop-ups, such as including a clear call to action, personalizing them to the user, offering an irresistible incentive and using an eye-catching design.

5 Tips for Intentional List Building Using Stories

We’ve been telling stories since the days of sitting around a fire in a cave. Whether they’re happy ones, sad ones, dramatic ones or just simple homilies, people love them. In fact, it’s your story more than anything that will bring people to you and help you build your list.

Why? You can’t always win using the cold hard facts. There’s always going to be someone around who can do things better, faster, smarter or more cheaply than you can. What you do have that no one else has is your own unique story.

5 Ways to Build Your List Using Your Existing One

Take a look at the history of technological innovation and it quickly becomes clear that nothing truly starts from scratch. While there have certainly been great geniuses through the years, they all stood on the shoulders of those who came before.

The digital age would still be a science fiction writer’s dream without the groundwork in electronics and transistors.
