Do you have content that’s created to impress your readers and have them coming back for more? Good.

Cause you’ve got just about 30 seconds or less to impress them!

30 seconds. That’s all!

Yep! There are millions of websites available on the web today and everyone’s creating great content with stunning images and videos to go with it.

But then, so are you!

So how do you stand out from the rest – provide information that’s long enough to impress Google, yet summarized smartly enough to entice the visitor at first glance?

You use a smart tool that can chunk content into instantly attractive material that your visitors will lap up in seconds.

The tool that I’m talking about is Thrive Content Builder.

Google set out to clean the web with their Panda and Penguin algorithms. The result: thousands of genuine bloggers and businesses were put out of business.

If you are one of those people still struggling to recover your lost organic rankings and are waiting for the next big update from Google, stop bothering.

There are plenty of other strategies that can give you the results you need. One that I’ve started focusing on 2016 is Pinterest marketing.

Facebook and Twitter are undoubtedly are great tools for social marketing, but Pinterest is the platform that has been showing the most active growth. The New York Times reported that Pinterest recently surpassed the 100 MILLION MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS landmark and is continuing to grow at an explosive rate. In an interview with VentureBeat, Pinterest shared some interesting statistics.

– About 70 percent of people visiting Pinterest are not just finding items of interest they are taking action too (save or click-through).

– The number of searches done on Pinterest has also grown 81 percent annually.

– Two-thirds of all content people pin comes from a retail site or blog.

The power of Pinterest is amazing.

Are you frustrated with your email marketing software?

I was. For a very long time!

I used Aweber for a year, then it was MailChimp for the next two; I tried my hand at GetResponse and signed up to Benchmark Email and Vertical Response, but all these tools lacked one thing or another.

Aweber did not offer landing pages, MailChimp kept sending me fake subscribers, GetResponse forms kept disappearing on my sidebar, Benchmark opt-ins wouldn’t integrate with my lead-gen plugin Thrive Leads and Vertical Response was missing RSS campaigns. I was THOROUGHLY and UTTERLY frustrated.

I almost gave up on email marketing until I chanced upon ConvertKit, a relatively new email marketing software from designer, author and blogger Nathan Berry. My instant attraction to ConvertKit was that it was designed by a blogger, a person like me who probably went through the same pains any fellow blogger goes through when he’s looking for an ideal marketing solution that fits his needs; a tool easy enough to use, yet powerful, customizable, and affordable.

Micro Niche Sites are Untenable: Authority Niche Sites are the Future!

Ten years ago, setting up a niche site and earning money off it from AdSense was easy. Today, Google places a lot of emphasis on content creation to educate an audience and frowns upon sites that are built simply to game AdSense. Google’s major shake up of the web, via its Penguin, Panda and other algorithms simply means that setting up a micro niche site and earning easy passive income on it is no longer a viable option.

However, that does not mean that the niche sites have reached their expiry date. It only means that they have to be realigned to meet the current demands and requirements of search engines. And that in effect has given birth to what is known as Authority Niches.

So how does one build an authority niche in the light of the changed ecosystem and is it still possible to make money from AdSense from it?
Many pundits would say that AdSense monetization is flogging a dead horse. Chris Lee begs to differ. In fact he makes over $10,000 a month on his niche websites just using AdSense.
