I have a few questions regarding marketing and copy, if you can answer them that would be awesome!

So i know i have to create content, but i think i ran out of topics to speak on, so where would i go?

I set up a website for free using wix.com it has a blog and a squeeze page, where would i write all new copy? On the squeeze page? I guess i sell my book i wrote

How do i make the shift from selling to offering massive value?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Squeeze page is ok and that all I can see, as I dont want to sign up. Maybe you can share other pages so we can have a look. :-)

      I have seen so many of your threads that seem to be all over the place. Not shockingly, so is your site.

      It's crazy to me that you have an eBook that says "Tired of making 8%? Here's how to make 10%." Then, in your first blog post, you state you never made more than 5% and you're just talking about theory. What?

      Why would I hang around when I can go find someone who knows what they're doing? You give me no incentive to stay or become a fan.

      The site doesn't look horrible. But, if you're serious, you should have your own domain and hosting.

      Your blog posts leave a lot to be desired. They provide no value to the reader, they're short, and nobody really cares what you're talking about if I had to guess.

      Do some research: long tail pro would be your friend. What does your target market want to know? Then write 1000-2000 word articles around those keywords and topics.

      Long story short, you have to vision on plan. And it's hard to be successful making a living selling something you're not successful doing yourself.

    If you need topics to write about, you can look at similar sites in your niche. Look at what they're blogging about. That should give you some ideas. Or you can write about a related topic. For example, if your blog is about apples, you don't have to blog about just apples. You can blog about other fruit and compare them to apples. How do they stack up nutritionally? Which fruits/veggies/meats/wines/cheese do apples pair well with? What kind of animals eat apples?

    Also try looking at news feeds for your niche. Report on whatever is going on in your industry in your own words, and what it means for others.

    You should never run out of topics to write about. Even the most esoteric topic can be expanded upon.

    Most people have that problem that when they don't know what they are talking about. It's always good if you can find a profitable topic that you have no problems coming up with tons of tips, ideas, strategies, helps, etc.

    How do i make the shift from selling to offering massive value?
    Do what I said above. If you have nothing of value to offer, how can you offer it?

    Now maybe you are an expert and just have problems writing. You can get people to help you do that. But I sense that you may not have a lot to offer, based on your first blog post but I could be wrong.

    That's okay though. We all had to start somewhere. Just make sure you aren't starting out on the wrong path. Most of us have had to make several course corrections.

    Thats why you need to be active in your marketplace so you know what is happening and trending and you speak on that hopefully do your research and get on it before your competition does. Great way to get some fast index traffic from the serps. Build a squeeze page. Don't let people fool you though cause I get organic traffic and leads with mine. I have a little content and its set up correctly but it can easily be done.

      A squeeze page is a landing page you use to get emails from potential subscribers.
