With DailyGangster.com, Dan Hollings coordinates webinars with experts, training courses, interviews, and some crazy great deals that relate to many different aspects of business.

If you don’t know Dan, he’s super smart, a true thought leader in online and offline business, and a really nice guy.

Every course I’ve ever taken, or information I’ve read that’s been put out by Dan Hollings has been excellent.

I am always learning, so finding someone that teaches both relevant and important information, makes them a good dubie in my book.  That epitomizes Dan.

If you’re interested in learning more about mobile marketing, internet marketing, offline marketing, social media, lead generation, or various other topics that are an essential component of running a business successfully today, I highly recommend that you join DailyGangster as a free member.  Tap into the variety of resources, and definitely attend the webinars.

With that said, I personally almost didn’t join because I don’t need another “daily deal” site in my life, or another distraction.  In this case, you can trust that everything Dan presents will be quality, and in the end it’s about paying attention to what you need and is relevant to you – and ignoring the rest.

That’s true with most things in life.

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment below.  If you are a gangster member, let us know what’s been helpful to you so far.

It’s 2012 and many people are thinking about new goals, dreams and businesses.  If you’re thinking about an E-commerce store, you’ve come to the right place today.  Check out StoreCoach.com.

I’ll start with a disclaimer. I haven’t used the StoreCoach.com program yet, but I’ve signed up (it’s free!) and I’m excited to go through the free training.  I don’t remember how I found it, but it looks like a great program.

If you are thinking about starting an E-commerce business, or even struggling with an existing E-commerce store, check it out.

I’m not associated with them in any way, and I make absolutely nothing from this recommendation.

So why am I recommending it to you?  Because from what I can tell the program looks solid.  There’s a LOT of free content on there, and potentially all you need to start your own successful E-commerce store.

There’s also a StoreCoach community where people seem very helpful and willing to help out in any way they can.  Advice from people already successful in this field is priceless.

The New Year doesn’t have to be about resolutions unfulfilled.  If this is your dream, here’s a great resource to being making it happen.

Make the commitment to yourself that you will take action every single day. Focus on that, learn from the program, and implement what you learn.

Before you know it you may have a great E-commerce store that’s making money, and fulfilling your goals and dreams.  What could be better than that?

Ok, well there definitely are things that could be better than that.  But if this is a desire, goal or dream of yours there are NO EXCUSES.  StoreCoach.com looks like a solid resource that can take you from where you are to launching and running your own E-commerce store.

So what are you waiting for?

Go to StoreCoach.com and decide for yourself if it has what you need.  There’s no time better time than right now.

Happy New Year!

It’s perfect for non-techies who want to build and
manage an online business using drag n drop technology.

http://www.fusionhq.info/?i=MRTFthuss

They’ve been sold out for months and rarely re-open
their doors to let new customers in (they limit access
to ensure every new member is looked after).

After 3 years they’re finally opening the doors to
the public for good.

If you hurry, you can use the coupon code 25%Off to
receive a 25% discount (that offer is closing any
minute and might be gone by the time you read this
- no hype, just the truth. If you want it go now.)

http://www.fusionhq.info/?i=MRTFthuss

Everything you need to build an online business is
included and you can get it at a discount price
(but not for long).

FusionHQ does drag n drop sales funnels, drip fed
membership sites, affiliate programs, split
testing, autoresponders, hosting and much more.

If you struggle with putting ‘all the pieces
together’ and don’t want the hassles of dealing
with programmers and designers check this out now:

http://www.fusionhq.info/?i=MRTFthuss

It has my highest recommendation and the guys
behind it have plans to make it even bigger and
better. Their customer support is great too -
which is very important.

If you want to make starting or managing your
online business easier than ever before, you need
to take a look

Enjoy!

PS. Remember to use the 25%Off coupon code!!

PPS. Be sure to watch the video from Gideon
Shalwick (further down the page)

For a limited time (I honestly don’t know how long because they’re not telling.), AppSumo is offering a great Google Analytics video course at NO cost. (very cool!)

Before your mind goes all gooey because analytics hurts your brain, this is the kind of stuff you need to know (or hire a consultant that understands it), in order to make informed decisions on how people are landing on your site, where they’re coming from, how long they stayed, and what they were most interested in.

If you’re wondering, “Are any of my marketing strategies working?”  It’s probably because you’re not getting the results you’d like. Correct?

Ahh, it can be overwhelming sometimes, because what is a “hit” anyway??

Our dear AppSumo is helping us solve that and I’m recommending all my clients watch this course – or hire me.

There is so much good information inside this free Google Analytics course that you’ll want to slap your fellow sumo sitting next to you. [JK]

Highlight points.

• Use the new Google Analytics (step-by-step)
• Properly track mobile usage of website
• Properly use Google Analytics in iOS and Android apps
• Many many more new tools to demonstrate…

In fact, if you head over to a recently article on whether or not mobile websites are necessary, you’ll see that this analytics stuff is critical in helping you make the choices that will increase the calls and traffic coming to your business.  Believe me – well branded mobile websites are an important piece of that in today’s mobile marketplace.

What you will find in this course:

• Individual streaming sections so you can jump to whichever section you prefer
• Bullet summaries of each section
• What type of information visitors, traffic sources, content, and conversion reports provide.
• New location for summary metrics.
• How to view trends from multiple rows of data.
• Tracking information.
• What is the difference between a visitor, visit, and page level variable and how they should be used.
• Applying analytics to mobile tracking.
• Using GA (Google Analytics) for tracking app usage.
• Tons more…but I don’t want to scare you.

You also get a variety of great learning formats…

• The full 60-minute video if you prefer to watch it on your desktop
• The .mp3 version for your .mp3 player of choice
• The full 00-page transcript in PDF form
• And finally, the Sumo Insider Report email address, where you can send your specific question and get the chance to be one of 10 questions that our expert instructor will answer personally.

But please don’t take my word for it.  Head over to AppSumo now, and then click on the “Free Deals” tab that is right next to the “Featured Deals” tab.

What’s in it for me?  Well informed friends and clients that better understand what GA means, and that translates to better web practices and the end goal of happier visitors to your website.

Let me know if you have questions!  AppSumo is awesome, and this course on understanding the new Google Analytics is important for every business owner and consultant.

But in your rush to “Go Mobile” please don’t sacrifice your brand, because you don’t have to, and you shouldn’t.

When mobile searchers land on your website – what is it saying about your brand?

There are some fabulous mobile website designs available today.  Don’t settle for anything less, because your mobile website is an extension of  your brand and reflects something about your business to the people landing on it.  What it looks like on the mini-screen matters.

Before you move forward with any web designer, whether it be for a standard desktop website or mobile website make sure you ask the following questions:

1. On what platform do you develop mobile websites? 
• In my personal opinion, mobile websites should NOT be based in WordPress. It’s too “heavy” and doesn’t meet the design standards set by the MMA, or by W3c.org. You can check them out here:  http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/mobilweb  (Personally, I use HTML5 and HTML5 with variations. It’s the latest, most flexible, and most dominant web language on the web. Giving my clients the best available today – is the only way I operate. I want them to have the ultimate competitive advantage.)
2. How long have you been in business and how many mobile sites have you developed?
• Please don’t underestimate the importance of this question.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met with new clients only to find that they have literally been “taken” by a person claiming to be a marketing or mobile marketing specialist.  In the end, they realized this person had no experience or knowledge in this field – apart from a $29 course they just purchased.  Ask questions.
3. Does SEO (search engine optimization) matter with a mobile website?
• Yes, it matters a lot, and will matter more as time goes by.  If they don’t know how to answer this, that’s your answer.
4. Ask to see some of the mobile websites they’ve developed.

You can take it from here, and hopefully this article will help you avoid scam artists, well meaning but inexperienced people, and ultimately end up with a mobile website and mobile marketing strategy that both reflects and enhances your brand.

In today’s marketplace, it’s important to maximize every competitive advantage available in order to succeed and thrive. It’s no different with mobile websites and marketing.

Mobilize your business.

This is a fairly simple system for getting quality backlinks that will NOT break the bank, and is a safe way of helping the search engines find the sites and pages you want them to.  For a limited time you can get http://bit.ly/BacklinkCommander at a 60% discount through that link.

If you land on this page after the special offer, please know that this product is worth so much more than these guys are asking for it even at the normal price — it’s just that you can get it for a super reasonable price right now. If the special price is gone I still highly recommend that you get it.

Backlink Commander will help you overcome the biggest challenge in winning the SEO game. You’ll discover how to free yourself and spend less time in front of the computer building links, and more time doing the things you love!

Even though we may not like to admit it, building backlinks yourself is time consuming, mind numbing, and often ineffective.  Yes, ineffective and a waste of time.

Everyone tells you that building a business takes hard work… what they don’t tell you is that you don’t have to be the one that does the hard work all the time!

This product will teach you Outsourcing  – and Outsourcing is more than just paying someone to do something.
Outsourcing’s a bit of a minefield if you’re not careful.  Even if you know what you’re doing, it’s easy to get caught out.

Gavin and Jake’s Backlink Commander course is exactly what I wish I’d had back then.  These guys have a ton of SEO experience behind them and they’ve laid out their whole outsourcing strategy, step by step.

If you’re quick you can get 60% off.

I’ve seen Gavin’s stuff before and it’s all top-notch, and this is no exception.  You’ve got 30 minutes of video and a slick 16-page PDF that outlines:

- All their top outsourcing strategies so you’ve got tried and tested methods at your fingertips
- Where to find contractors and how to make sure they’re honest
- The exact software they use for automatic backlink building, so you don’t have to shop around

It allows you to multiply yourself and grow your business without lifting a finger, faster and easier than you ever thought possible.
It is that good, and sooo important when it comes to backlinking.

Check out the short video on Backlink Commander here ==> BACKLINK COMMANDER

Check it out – because you can do this and it will make a difference in your business. In my opinion, you’ll be glad you did.

There’s no affiliate link here – just sharing it because I think the content is excellent – and if you have a home or small business (or even a huge corporation for that matter), this information will help you grow your customer base and business if you take action.

I’m a marketing junkie.  I love marketing, understanding people, and helping business represent their brand better online.

This book is one of the best books I’ve read on marketing in a long time – and I read a lot of marketing books.

One of the things I like best about Greg’s book is that the marketing model he’s writing about, Micro Marketing, is probably the most affordable way to market big in a very small way, and affordably.

This means that just about anyone can do it, because it is affordable. Effective doesn’t have to mean expensive.

When done correctly – this “micro marketing” strategy can result in very big marketing exposure direct to your target audience.

I realize that may sound contradictory, but when you read his book you’ll understand what I’m saying.

I’m not going to go into all the details here – I just want you to know that regardless of how small your business may be (or how large) you do not have to break the bank or your marketing budget to get BIG results when you follow the Micro Marketing ideas Greg Verdino outlines in his book.

You can learn more about Greg at his blog, http://gregverdino.typepad.com/. He shares some great marketing tips there, as well.

If you own a business, it is my recommendation that you run (not walk) to get a copy of his book.  I’m not sure if it’s on Kindle, but if so you may be able to get a copy via download immediately.

I’d love to know what your thoughts are about the book.  What you choose to implement, and any results you realize.  Please come back and share it with us!

Best,

~Kate
