How to Add 836 Million Potential Readers To Your Website or Blog
Translate your website into another language to attract more readers. English is a very common language, but Mandarin Chinese is even more common – to the tune of 836 million people (or more, depending on which source you use.)
And you might want to consider other languages, too, such as…
Hindi (333 million)
Spanish (332 million)
English (322 million)
Bengali (189 million)
Arabic (186 million)
Russian (170 million)
Portuguese (170 million)
Japanese (125 million)
German (98 million)
French (72 million)
And it gets even more interesting. What percentage of online shoppers speak English? Probably 80-90%, right?
8 Email Marketing Mistakes That Cost You Sales and Subscribers
I’m placing this at number one because it’s the biggest mistake of all and I want you to remember it. After you write your email, reread it. If it bores you, just imagine what it will do to your readers. Be compelling, be interesting, be funny, be passionate, be crazy – in short, be ANYTHING but boring.
Number 2. Burying your message.
In journalism they call it burying the lead – that is, hiding the most important information deep inside your email instead of placing it at the top.
Making Your Marketing Message Conform to Your Customers Point Of View
Your marketing message – and especially your slogan – can have a profound effect on your prospect’s receptivity to your product. And if that message or slogan doesn’t match their mindset, you’ve likely lost the sale or will have to work much harder to get the sale.
So how do you market specifically to optimists or pessimists? By tailoring your message to suit the way they think.
For example, if your product is toothpaste and the bulk of your customers are optimists, your tagline might be – “Whiter teeth and fresher breath.” But if your customers are pessimists, you’ll want something completely different, such as – “Prevents cavities and gingivitis.”
How To Find A Remote Job When You’ve Never Worked Remotely Before
Remote work is more common now than ever before. An estimated 4.3 million people in the US work remotely — and that was BEFORE the start of the pandemic.
Even still, not everyone has a job that is remote-friendly. For example, service workers, tradesmen, construction workers, first responders, and many other professions are traditionally in person.
If you’re a server at a restaurant or bartender, it’s impossible to do these jobs remotely. Similarly, if you’re a welder or electrician, you can’t exactly telecommute.
But that doesn’t mean if you work a traditional in-office or on-location job you can’t transition to telecommuter.
In fact, as a remote work career coach, I regularly help job seekers do just that! Many aspiring remote workers want to ditch their out-of-the-house job for a more remote-friendly position.
Here’s what I advise them to make the transition as easy as possible.
How to Remember Your Passwords
For example, if your keyword is “bigrat” and you’re creating a password for Amazon, your new password is “bigratama” or “bigratamazon.” If you’re creating a password for Gmail, it would be “bigratgma” or “bigratgmail.”
You determine how many characters you use from each website and then stick with that number. In the Amazon examples, if your number is 3 then you would use the first password – if your number is 6, then use the second one.

Is Your Website LOSING You Business?
Let’s say you have an SEO service, a website building service and a Facebook page service. Someone comes to your website looking to get a professional Facebook page built for their business and finds all kinds of info on website building and SEO. He leaves.
Next, he goes to a website that offers JUST Facebook pages. He buys.
What happened? Your website didn’t cater specifically to what he was looking for, so he kept searching until he found a website that did.
Solution? If you sell distinctly different services or products, you might want to consider building microsites for each one.
It’s Time for Amazing Creativity in How We Approach Our Life’s Work
It is a new month. We are into September, back to school, Labor Day, back to work after the summer — there are so many traditional markers this time of year. In fact, if you look at some of the stores you go to, they have Halloween candy out for sale already.
Traditions are good and they connect us to the past, to memories, experiences, family, and friends. Good times and maybe not so good, too.
Although our connections to the past and to traditions are good, they keep us stuck. COVID-19 keeps us stuck. The conversations and the narratives do not seem to change. Each day the news gets worse, there are more cases, tempers flare, and anxiety issues are up.
Yes, there are many of us going through the wringer right about now. Uncertainty about our businesses, our work, safety, the kids going to school… will the NFL season happen or not? Okay, maybe the NFL is not such a big issue in the big scheme of things.
6 Biggest Mistakes Remote Job Seekers Make (And What To Do Instead)
Job search mistakes happen. You don’t do them on purpose but they’re harmful nonetheless.
As a Certified Professional Career Coach that specializes in remote work, I regularly guide lost job seekers. Too often, they come to me after they’ve tried (and failed) to find remote work on their own.
Sound familiar?
If so, you might be making these remote job search mistakes. Don’t worry, once you know what they are, you can easily fix them. The sooner you do, the easier your remote job search becomes.
1. They Don’t Focus Their Search
There are a lot of benefits to remote work. Time and money saved are just two of the obvious ones. But, don’t forget about the all-important ‘happiness factor.’ That is, studies repeatedly show that remote workers = happier workers. I didn’t name this blog Work From Home Happiness for nothing! It’s no wonder, then, job seekers want to kick their cubicles to the curb — and fast.

Now you can gain access to college courses online, find an Internet-based tutor or even make money by being such a tutor. Here is how it works.
8 Ways to Beat Blogger’s (or Writer’s) Block
I like to write. Heck, to be honest, I LOVE to write. Yet sometimes I hate it as well – like when I HAVE to write another newsletter and I’m thinking I just don’t know what to say. Don’t you just hate writers block?
That’s why I like to find ideas that jog me into writing, and I share them with you here. Because I know if I sometimes have trouble writing, then those who aren’t that fond of putting words to paper must sometimes prefer to get a root canal than write another article or blog post. So take heart, here are 8 suggestions that should get your typing fingers flying and your blog readers happy they stopped by your site.
1. Be impulsive.
If you write on a frequent basis, then there should be a part of your brain that’s always on the lookout for ideas, rants, complaints, laughs, etc. When inspiration strikes, WRITE. Yes, right then and there. If you can’t, then at least make lots of notes for later, and at the first available chance sit down and type it out. You can always polish it up later.
6 Science-Backed Strategies That Benefit Your Remote Job Search
Being unemployed is hard. For many job seekers, it can be downright isolating. This is especially true for remote job seekers whose connection to recruiters and hiring managers is entirely virtual. Plus, studies show the unemployed have impaired mental health and lower self-esteem.
Needless to say, it can be draining to tie your self worth to your job search. Often, it takes days if not weeks and months to hear back from jobs you’ve applied to (if you ever hear back at all). Add that to the lack of in-person connections and daily routine and, well, it can be a recipe for self-isolated disaster.
But, fear not! As a career coach, I work with remote job seekers to implement science-backed strategies to help build much-needed momentum when unemployed.
1. Wake Up Early.
When you don’t have a job, why wake up early? For starters, an early start gives you a sense of purpose that goes missing when unemployed. Also, most recruiters and hiring managers start their own days at 9:00 a.m. sharp. You want to be readily available to take their calls.
