By whatbizopp on July 21, 2017

“If you build it, they will come.” This what Kevin Costner’s character says in Field of Dreams. Can’t say I care much for the film, but it’s amazing that a simple line can quickly pass into common parlance. When people say this phrase, they mean the following: Create something of genuine worth, and eventually people […]

Why You Should Look at What Other Businesses Are Doing and Then Ethically Copy Them

By whatbizopp on July 6, 2017

So many business gurus claim they are ‘self-made’. Self-motivated? Yes, of course. Willing to take a bold risk to achieve a goal? Yes, indeed. But have they created their business out of absolutely nothing? Nah, not really.

By whatbizopp on June 29, 2017

By whatbizopp on March 28, 2017

I once went to a funeral of a great aunt. As I sat on the cold pew I discovered that nobody in the family had offered to do the eulogy. Not because she was massively unpopular (although she was a prickly character and a little bit… Victorian…) but because they thought the vicar would do […]

4 simple ways to ‘gamify’ your marketing and get more done

By whatbizopp on April 3, 2017

When I was a kid I used to get bored walking to school. Bored on any walks really. So I’d play a game in which I’d have to get to school without ever stepping on a crack. Each crack was electrified and to step on one meant certain death. Every crack I stepped on would […]

How to take an ‘X-ray’ peek at you and your rivals’ online traffic

By whatbizopp on April 27, 2017

A few weeks ago I asked the question… Are you embarrassed by your website? By that I meant… Does it reflect the personality and quality of your business? Is it easy to navigate? Does it do everything you want it to? Is it getting you enough (or any) visitors, enquirers, subscribers and customers? Right now […]

Magic Words that Get Traffic to Your Website (5 Tools You Can Use)
