Do You Spend A FULL Day Wrangling Data?

There’s so much data to analyze. SEO, paid search, social media ads, social media engagement, sales trends, conversion rates, inventory, and more. What if there was a way to collect all of your retail, marketing inventory, and financial data into a single source? That’s exactly what Kathleen Booth, senior VP of marketing at Tradeswell, helps clients with. “We surveyed 300 plus e-commerce leaders last year, and one of the things we learned was that they, their teams, and they spend on average 20% of their time wrangling data,” she says. “That’s a day, a week — a full day a week. So you’re losing 20% of your time effectively doing manually what there are plenty of tools out there that could do automatically. … That’s literally our value proposition, and you get a day back in your week. I feel like that’s in any business is it’s huge.” Listen to our entire podcast to learn more!

SEO 'Feels Recession-Proof'

“I was actually in Italy and I was standing on the mountain, and I saw this really beautiful, like a castle in the distance with a restaurant on it,” says Lily Ray of Amsive Digital. “And I was like, ‘I wanna eat there.’ So I took a picture of the castle. And I typed restaurant, and it was like, boom, that’s the name of the castle, this is how you get to it. It was like, this is amazing.” Lily’s example shows the value of Google’s multi-search, which is just one-way e-Commerce companies can take advantage of organic SEO. On the latest episode of The Deal Closers Podcast, Lily emphasizes the importance of focusing on building a brand and growing links organically. “I always encourage people to like, yes, absolutely invest in SEO, try to make it a long-term thing.

Brothers, Bitcoin & A 7-Figure Exit

Brothers Bryan Aulds and Colin Aulds didn’t always get along while growing up.
Later on in life, they found out what would strengthen their bond and wallets: Business and Bitcoin.
“Bitcoin has had a very, very predictable pattern that has emerged every four years, it just shoots up a metric fuck ton,” says Colin. “And then it crashes down, but higher than the previous high, and then it goes sideways for a while and goes up and down. And then it shoots up again. And it’s just, that’s just how it’s worked out over the past, I don’t know, 12 years, or whatever it’s been now.”
On this episode, they share their story of starting PrivacyPros, creating the Billfodl, and eventually exiting for 7 figures with the help of WebsiteClosers.com.
“Our initial bootstrap investment back in, or late 17 was about $24,000,” says Bryan. “And we exited for 7 figures. So the power of compound interest compounded work over time in a business.”
The brothers are also co-hosts of the Unhashed Podcast and (now) co-founders of 10NetZero.
