Let’s start this with a statistic that should by itself be enough to have any small business owner invest in digital marketing. According to RetailDive , 87% of buyers start searching for products to buy online. Eighty-seven.

When I was 12 years old, I used to look through my older cousin's CD collection, a little confused. I didn't understand the need to have CDs when I could go on my iTunes and listen to all my favorite songs. Then, when I was in middle school, I got my first hand-me-down iPod shuffle. This is a great example of the product life cycle (PLC) in action. CDs were in the decline stage while the iPod was in the growth stage – more on the stages below.

I was talking with my friend who works at Keap (formally known as Infusionsoft) and he was breaking down how people still make millions of dollars selling info products and ebooks. Now, I don’t sell info products as heavily as I used to, but when I focused on it 100% of the time, my numbers were great. Just look at the screenshot above. It’s my revenue on a bad month of selling info products.

Emails have a short life. But many don’t have a life at all, according to a recent Adobe survey – into attitudes toward email. Amongst the many insights and data we unearthed, two that stood out for me are opened and read, which means 75% of everything you send is ignored. And when they are read, 50% aren’t considered useful. It’s easy to conclude, as is so often the case, that this must mean marketing emails are dead.

Growing up, I used to play "grocery store" with my sister. We'd go into our pantry, take out all the food, and set up a grocery store in our living room. I would typically "buy" goldfish. You might be thinking, "What does this have to do with market share?". Well, let's say that I bought 10 bags of goldfish from various "companies" that my sister, mom, and dad owned.

When I hear the word ecosystem , I think of my science class as a kid. Specifically, I remember having to choose an environmental ecosystem to do a project on. I chose the tundra ecosystem and talked about how the living and nonliving things in this climate worked together to survive the harsh, frozen, and typically snow-covered environment — none of them would make it without the value each element and organism provided.

Blogging is the fundamental component of your content marketing strategy. My own research has shown that the more blogs you publish, the more visitors you attract, the more leads you can nurture, and the more conversions you will get! Publishing blog posts 2 to 4 times per week provides the highest results in terms of both traffic and conversions. That finding comes from my company’s client data and holds up across industries, sizes and markets in both B2B and B2C.
