A: “For sure the biggest mistake I see authors make is they don’t start marketing 8-14 months out. Most start maybe 3-6 months. Also, most don’t ‘go all out’ with their effort and tend to play smaller than they could (for a variety of reasons). And, most don’t have a STRONG […]

by Amber Vilhauer, Online Marketing & Sales Business Coach Leave a comment

Creating clear and compelling content for your website is one of the most important steps you can take to convert qualified leads into buyers. Yet, far too many online business owners are looking for outside solutions (…that are ultimately ineffective if you don’t have strong content).
