So i’m working with a client to launch their new program site from scratch. They already have a successful training/coaching program locally and want to take their offline success online. Great!
Then it occurs to me – what is the realistic expectation for starting a site from scratch to getting cashflow from online products? Does it [...]

Hot damn this is a cool little tool.
I was thinking the other day… “I wish that I had a copy of the old CoachVille.com homepage. The original one that Thomas did”… but alas I figured it was gone into the ethers of the internet past.

Hi Tina,
I’m wondering if I really need to have a regular newsletter to build that client funnel? I’ve had this drilled into my head from Chris Barrow and others, and saw your blog entry suggesting just publishing whenever you feel like it. So, different opinions out there and I’m hesitating – in the [...]

One of the key nuggets that I got from the Website Clinic with Dean Jackson last week was the purpose of a website – get your visitors email address so that you can “engage” with them and start to build a relationship.

Curious on your thoughts here…
I’m working on info products for a few different clients and am playing around with whether to focus on audio products (mp3s online or CDs) or written products (eBooks, real books, etc). Or a mix of both!
