Side Hustle Spark 310: focusmate.com

January 3, 2022January 3, 2022 / TMH / Leave a comment

I thought I would explore the ‘benefits’ of social pressure, precommitment, and accountability.

So I just signed up with focusmate.com.

My other blog shares more about it.

If you’re encountering procrastination and resistance–even with New Year’s resolutions still fresh on the page–give this a try.

Three free sessions per week…just think how much you can get done in 150 minutes in the ‘presence’ of a remote work partner who is hammering away at his/her own project.

My first appointment is this coming Friday. Will let you know how it turns out.

Reminder: No affiliate links. Just thought it might be something that might help you crank out the next best seller/mega-corporation/cinematic masterpiece.

Side Hustle Spark 307: Digital Marketing in 2022 [Neil Patel]

December 27, 2021 / TMH / Leave a comment

Check out Neil’s tips on dealing with digital marketing in 2022 and beyond.

How to differentiate yourself and your products/services?

Tip #1: There’s too much content. Use steps. Use data. Give a fresh perspective.

Tell your own stories. If you can’t offer a fresh perspective, don’t add the content.

Tip #2: Refresh/update your past content.

Tip #3: Add an influencer. ‘Influence’ is here to stay. It may cost you, but it’s worth exploring.

Tip #4: Add upsells and downsells.

Tip #5: Use multiple channels. “Take an omnichannel approach.”

Here’s hoping your bank accounts in 2022
will be saturated as well.

Best of luck!
