Growing your email list and eCommerce business is one of the most important things you can do. The more people you have on your list to sell to, the more revenue you can generate.
But growing your list isn't quite as easy as it sounds. My two favorite ways to grow an email list are through product launches and quizzes. But if your audience is on the smaller side, it might not always make the impact that you need.
Giveaways on the other hand will typically generate more email subscribers than most other methods. But like everything else in marketing, giveaways aren't a sure thing. You do a decent size audience, the right strategy, and a few key tactics to get the most out of it.

Passive income is the holy grail of online business... but is any income TRULY passive?
Sort of. Put the work in upfront and passive income can follow. Of course, as a product-based business, you still need to fulfill the orders, but it would be cool to have that revenue rolling in without much marketing, wouldn't it?
Today's guest is Monica Little and she's teaching us exactly how we can make that happen.

When was the last time you really dug into your profit and loss statement?
I've been having A LOT of conversations about finance lately and it's got me worried about your profitability.

Today we're diving into what you should think about and consider before investing in or out of something in your business, we're talking about the different types of programs that are typically available and who they're best for, plus we're talking about what numbers you should be shooting for on your P&L.

Have you ever thought about selling your eCommerce business? While many entrepreneurs create businesses with the intention of selling them in the end, most small business entrepreneurs think they'll run their businesses until they're ready to retire. But even then, what are your next steps? Do you just shut the whole thing down and say goodbye to your customers?
What if instead, you could sell your business to someone else and get a nice chunk of change in return?
While selling your business is likely easier than you think and can be done sooner than you think, there are some key things you'll need to have in place before you can fetch top dollar.
Since I'm not an expert in exiting business, I brought in Christine McDannell of the Magnolia firm to school us on what we need to know to set our businesses up for sale.
