"That's great, but does it make money?"
Published: Wed, 02/03/16
My answer: No, I work for free. KIDDING! Yes, of course. :)
This is from a fun discussion we're having on Facebook regarding my niche site. It's on my personal profile, but it's a public update so you should be able to see it:

I'll wrap that up into a blog post for you with even more details, because there are some great points to learn from in that discussion. Speaking of, I have some tips for you from other Facebook discussions. You'll like these. :)
I'm wrapping up the Q&A on Building Your Audience too, so expect that free download in your inbox soon!
"As long as your readers are seeing results they'll continue consuming products & services, opening emails, liking/sharing/commenting, etc."
There are two keys to helping your audience see results. The first is to motivate / inspire / compel - and this requires PROOF and RESULTS. This is why Case Studies are more powerful than Reviews. And why "before & after" pictures work so well in some niches (body building, weight loss, home makeover, etc).
Showing them HOW is great, but show them WHY - give them a visual that makes them want to BE or ACHIEVE the end result.
Second is Actionable Content - tips they can use, step by step instructions, checklists, worksheets, fill-in-the-blank (spreadsheet, calendar, food diary, etc).
The HOW comes after the WHY. Once you get them motivated, put the steps in front of them, and give them tools to DO the steps in very simple and clear terms.
That should give you some creative ideas to take action on today. :)
