In this episode, I give a quick update with what’s been going on with the niche site stuff.  Things look pretty solid with the change to Google Adsense and hopefully it will continue to generate some steady income.  With the added emphasis on backlinking there’s been some noticeable differences in rankings.

I’ve also start 2 more niche sites that will likely take a few months to see any gains.  Other than that, things are just starting out.

How to close a sale

We also talk about closing sales and how there are several closes that take place in a sale.  The last thing that you want to do is sign documents on the first meeting.  Typically relationships like that end very badly since expectations are not met on either side.

The key to closing a deal is to close several parts of the selling process.  You’ll be closing an initial meeting, closing a proposal submittal, and closing a follow-up meeting.  The more that you “date” a prospect, the better the relationship and sale is going to be.

Interview with my father-in-law

Dunn..dun..DUUUUUNNN. Yep, I’ll be interviewing my father=in-law this go around.  He has been an instrumental part of my success and has some great advice to share about running a business in general.  From everything to starting, to marketing, to hiring, we are going to talk about some of the pitfalls and joys that he’s experienced in owning his own business.

Ebook updates

I’ve consolidated all of my products into my e-book.  I want to make it as valuable as possible and make it the flagship of the site.  I love having virtual assistants helping me to run my business and I want everyone else to be able to experience the same thing rather than to be working in their business as another full-time job.  That being said, you are going to get a LOT more out of my E-book now, and in the future.
