what activities are involved in offering the products customers want?
Think of someone who's work you really like. Someone who you're totally into. It could be a band or musician, a creator of some kind, an author, or whoever. Got one?
Okay, now if they sent you an email telling you that they've released a new product, then right away, what would you want to know? Well first, you'd want to know what it was, right? That makes sense.
Is it a new book? A new album? An app? A piece of memorabilia? What is it? Next, you'd want to know what you get. In other words, what will this new product give you...or what result will it help you get for yourself? This is the product's big promise.
Now if you're still interested in the product...if you know what it is and you know what it's promising you...then the last thing you'd want to know is of course how much it costs. So, what's the price, and maybe, are there any pricing options available...like different tiers.
That's really it it. From here, you might have further questions or you might want to know some other things about the product. Like if it's a book or online course, what's covered? What's included?
What are all the benefits? Is there a moneyback guarantee? Are there any reviews -- what do other people think about it? How long is it? What format is it available in? ...and so on.
So what's the point of all this? Well as an online business owner, it's sometimes difficult to see things from your audience's perspective. But it's automatic when you're in the role of customer, isn't it?
So what we need to do is turn things around and have empathy for our potential customer and imagine we're in their shoes, looking at what we're offering them.
Tell your audience these three key pieces of information right away -- again, what is it, the

does seo matter anymore
Are we too late? Are Google, YouTube, and the web overall completely oversaturated? Is it worthwhile to bother with SEO and trying to rank our web pages in search?
Is it even worth it to try and publish videos on YouTube or try to use some other social media platform to bring people back to our home base on the web, our website? Well guess what? People were asking those sorts of questions 10 years ago.
And 10-20 years from now, we'll look back and go, "Man, those were the good old days. It was so much easier then!" Remember that the internet is still very young. Really, we've only had the commercial web as we know it for about 20 years.
Look at how long the concept of newspaper publishing, book publishing, television, and radio have been around. Imagine someone in the 1980s saying, "Eh, radio's completely oversaturated...it isn't worthwhile anymore...forget it!"
So let me ask you: Does Google look like it's struggling? Remember, the core of their business is search. And for online business owners like you and I, that means SEO is still a viable strategy...maybe now more than ever. And obviously, Google and the internet aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
So while it might seem like your competitors might have a head start on you, there's still plenty of room. Only about half the world's population is online. And besides, even if things look oversaturated, if you have a strong work ethic, you can easily out-work others.
You can publish web content to rank in the search engines more frequently than they do, optimize your content better than they do, and you can play the long game longer and harder than they do.

how to find a good web hosting company
If you're just getting your online business started...or you have ambitions to get rolling soon, one of the most important things to sort out is your web hosting. This is the online service that stores and hosts your website online.
Now there's some kinda-good stuff and kinda-bad stuff here...Where it gets tricky is that there are tons and tons of web hosting companies these days. And really, they all kinda look the same. They all offer basically the same service, the same pricing, and the same options.
Plus, they use so much technical jargon that it's hard to keep things straight. So how are you supposed to sort through all the options and figure out which web hosting company is best for you?
Well, we can really boil things down here. As an online business owner, really what you need most from a web hosting company is just three things: Security and reliability, great customer service, and fair pricing.
And the good news is, after over two decades online, I've tried, tested, and done a ton of research on web hosts...and I've been able to boil it down to just a small handful of recommendations that I make for my students.
These are hosts that I've used, vigorously tested, and can confidently suggest that you look into further to see which one will fit your needs.
Right off the bat, if you're just getting started, want to keep things simple, and keep

what is marketing research and its importance
Direct, in-depth, hands-on market research is a much, much more powerful approach to building your online business than doing what most people do -- dreaming up and then chasing after some "magical big idea" that's totally unproven.
This means not creating products and services you THINK your target audience has...but spending the time to develop products and services you KNOW your target audience will break your door down to have!
Really, market research -- that is, really knowing and understanding what your audience really, truly wants -- is the linchpin that holds your entire business together. It's called a "linchpin" because if you remove this one single element from your online business, everything falls apart.
Worse still, get your market research wrong (as in, don't spend enough time digging, chase after the wrong audience, or take advice from the wrong people) and you'll be solving problems no one has and building products no one wants. And that's a bad place to be.
No amount of online advertising will save you. A great looking brand, a clever logo, and a fast, modern website won't help. No SEO strategy or social media platform will make a difference. Nothing can save you from bad (or non-existent) market research.
Bad market research (or non-existent market research) is like a black hole that no business, no matter how much financial backing they have, can escape from. Businesses, even big ones, get sucked in and torn apart. That's why market research is so critically important.
Think of it this way: You cannot create demand. That's impossible. No business, no matter the size, can create demand. Instead, it's all about filling needs -- finding and fixing problems -- and that's what your market research is all about.

High image quality is, of course, of huge importance. And it all comes down to understanding the different graphic types. JPEG vs PNG, PNG vs GIF, SVG and PNG -- it's a lot to try and understand. In today's graphics tutorial, you'll get a run-down of web file formats, and gain an understanding of the different image file formats and their features. Let's dig into it!

best email hosting for small business
If you've seen some of my stuff before, then you already know that whether your web hosting company offers free email along with your account or not, I’m going to encourage you to go with a dedicated email service instead.
I’ve been using Google G Suite’s dedicated email service for years, and the difference between using web hosted email and a dedicated email service -- especially for your online business -- is immeasurable!
Here are some reasons why using a separate, dedicated email service for your business’s website is much better than using the free email that comes with your web hosting...
First, many web hosts promise anti-spam protection with your email. And while some do a pretty good job at filtering out the junk, it’s pretty tough to beat the rigorous measures that business-grade, industry standard email services go to in fighting spam and malware.
With professional, business-grade email service, their dedicated service is...email! Email is what they do, and all they do. So, they’re going to work hard to ensure that your experience with their service is top notch.
This means rigorous anti-spam filters and malware protection to keep your inbox clutter-free, and your business communications running perfectly at all times. Next, consider this: You’re trying to run your online businesses here, not chase technical problems, right?
Back when I was using the free email service that came with my hosting, I had numerous situations where customers hadn’t r
