Ask questions. Get answers.

I think you have the same problem a lot of people who work from home have: you don't treat it like it's work from the office.

Basically, that's the first thing you need to do: treat it with the same respect as you would an actual 9-5 job.

Get up early. Eat a hearty breakfast. Grab coffee. Get yourself in front of your desk and begin chipping away at your tasks.

How about dinner and the dog and the dishes? Get a nanny or someone to help you with the chores. If that's not possible, get your work done...and when you've accomplished the work-related tasks for the day...that's when you do everything else.

There's a lot to be thankful for, when you work from home (not being suck in traffic is a huge plus), so make sure you do a great job at keeping your work from home boss/clients happy.

If you want to know a bit more detail about how I succeeded in working from home for more than a decade, just drop me a SavvyMail.

Hope that helps.

Hi Luke,

Generally, our suggestion is that an invoice should be addressed to the individual, since they are the legal entity. Where that individual has a registered business name, an invoice can be addressed to the individual trading as the registered business name. Meaning, it would appear as follows: [individual's name] t/a [registered business name] ABN [#].

Kind regards,
Maya


 

So, let's start by talking about what "opt in" versus "opt out" means. The key difference between opt-in and opt-out email marketing is all in the signup. From there, we can talk about the pros and cons of each. 

Opt-in means that the default option is that you are not opted in. So, you have to check a box or submit an email address to get signed onto the mailing list. Opt-out means you have to uncheck a box that appears pre-checked to avoid getting on a mailing list. 

Now that we've gotten that underway, let's talk about the main bullet points...

• Opt-out will get you more email signups because people often won't look to see what they're signing in for. However, you'll also have more unsubscribers as a result. 
• Opt-in involves actively signing up for the mailing list, so you will get better results as far as conversion rates. People are clearly more engaged. 
• Some people view opt-out marketing as sketchy. They may lose trust in your company.

I believe we've used both? I don't recall which was better. One has better templates than the other? I think they're both top of the game though and competitive. Don't think you can go too wrong either way.

Thanks Phil. I've always wondered what the advice is. Surely not every great campaign idea came from a request made by the company! Some unsolicited ideas must have made their way through at times!

Semrush has a better index and data compared to Raventools. If you are doing keyword analysis, I would recommend using multiple different sources to get as much data as possible. This for example would mean a combination of SEMRush, Google Search Console, Answer the public, manual searches through Google/Bing etc

probably introduced more capital to grow harder and faster /however the main key point was to have a major point of difference which we had up until I sold the business

One of our long term clients buys from China on a frequent basis and in relatively small orders. They have built an excellent long term relationship with an independent local buying agent who places orders, supervises quality and shipping (usually by mail) and advises on new products emerging.

This is both cost effective and efficient

When you are content with the amount of time vs financial gain that you return.
In my case, it's using the profit to buy assets that give me a passive income. 
This in turn gives you choice.
