Have you ever heard the saying, images can make or break a blog post? I hate that this is true, but it is!

Yes, it is expensive (last month I paid $450 in fees for my list), but it is worth it because in the same month, I made over $3,000 in profit from my newsletter list specifically. How it happened -1- I switched to Convert Kit. That was when I started taking things more seriously. It was when I ...
We've talked in the past about using amazon affiliate links effectively in your posts, but what about affiliate links through other sources? There are lots of affiliate programs that offer higher payout than amazon AND longer cookie length. Amazon offers a 24 hour cookie, meaning if someone clicks your link but takes 25 hours to make the purchase you don't get any credit for sending that person to amazon to buy the product you recommended. ...
