91 You Must Do This For Your Local Business
Just last week Google rebranded Google My Business. It’s now known as Google Business Profile. I talked about GMB a few episodes ago, and with the rebrand, I thought I’d talk about it again… because it’s very important for your local business or non-profit.
90 Using Humor In Your Marketing

Email is the most essential marketing tool in your arsenal. (Nope, it’s not social media) Here’s why: Your email list is something you own. Your website likely is too.

Instead of talking about an illustrious career or a multitude of product features, you remind the reader that you exist to solve their biggest problem.
