Online Marketing Made Easy with Amy Porterfield

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! First of all, can I just be a little corny and express my gratitude for all of you? It's hard to believe we're up to 85 episodes of the Online Marketing Made Easy podcast . . . and with those episodes have come lots of free weekly giveaways, 17 interviews with the biggest […]

Welcome to the second half of our intensive “refocus on your list” training! I hope you completed the short questionnaire from last week, because this week we're really building off those questions to get where we need to go. If you haven't done it yet, click here to download it and take just 10 minutes […]

For the last several podcast episodes, we've been covering all manner of marketing tactics. Creating webinars, building urgency, writing copy. And we've taken a deep soul-searching dive into the personal “why's” and “how's” of online entrepreneurship. This week, we're bringing it all back home. It's time to refocus on the foundation of every successful online business: Your […]

Hey there! I have a fun topic to cover in today's episode: The Online Entrepreneur's Worst Nightmare. (Cue spooky music.) Sorry…I couldn't resist. Blame the post-Halloween sugar overload. The actual topic is how to keep your Facebook account from getting shut down. Now, this is a topic that I know truly does scare some of you…maybe […]

I first met Lewis Howes back in my days of working with Social Media Examiner. I liked his technique with video interviews, and wrangled up a lot of interviewees for him; he liked my Facebook trainings, and asked me to put together a book. That was not only the beginning of my career in online […]

It's time for another edition of Ask Amy! Every now and then, no matter how good your business system is, you reach a moment where everything kind of splinters. I'm having one of those moments this week, trying to reassemble my podcasting setup after moving it into a bigger home studio. While I'm glad to […]

It's a fact.  Sometimes people are reluctant to buy from you. Even when they want your product, even when they’re smitten with your brand, there will be some prospective buyers that seem to have a built-in pause command that holds a their finger poised above the “purchase” button on your website. It's just par for […]

In the process of building my business, I’ve made more than my share of mistakes. The silver lining is that I get to pass the wisdom I’ve learned on to you. It’s always easier to do something right when you’ve got someone guiding you past the ways it can go wrong. However, today’s post is […]

I know it’s only October, but I’m already thinking about how to boost my business in 2016. And one of my biggest goals is to do more video. Video is a complex issue for a lot of entrepreneurs. You know that it could help you make an amazing connection with your audience. But all the tinkering that […]

My guest today is a New York Times bestselling author, as well as a speaker, blogger, and recognized expert on the topic of happiness. A happiness expert? Oh yes, there is such a thing. Gretchen Rubin takes the topic very, very seriously. She put her Yale education to work with the goal of finding out systematic ways […]

If you’ve been listening for a while, you've heard me mention the word Scrum. When you hear this word, you do one of two things: Feel your heart surge with pride and joy because, as a fellow Scrummer, you know how amazing this approach is for running a small business. Scratch your head / do a […]

I know I have talked about copy many times. But can you blame me? It’s a hot topic! Many of you that are growing your business online or have been growing your business for a while now still struggle with copy. Believe me, I get it. I have definitely struggled for years with writing good […]

What a difference a tweak makes! If you've spent any time on this blog (or podcast) in recent weeks, you know how firmly I stake my belief in webinars. Webinars offer a platform that lets you connect with people on an entirely new, personal level you just don’t get with most marketing strategies. And what other marketing […]

I love these opportunities to answer your questions directly. And lately, the questions have swirled around a specific theme. (It seems we're all on a very similar wavelength right now!) What's the theme, you ask? How to grow your business to the next level.  Whether you're just getting started or have been in business for years, the steps that […]

Next time you're networking with a group of entrepreneurs, keep your ears peeled for a certain word floating above the conversation. The word is “mastermind,” and it's a concept that is trickling down from the multimillion-dollar start-up set to homegrown entrepreneurs like you and me. If you're not familiar with the term, the term “mastermind” can have a very “Great and […]
