Spiritual Foundations

Give freely and become more wealthy;
be stingy and lose everything.\u201d Proverbs 11:24

In a recent discussion, a couple of my friends brought up the fact that selling things to the Christian market is not a good idea. Christians, they said, are cheap. One brought up a statistic they heard from a retail bookstore owner, who said the number one category of books that are stolen our Christian books. Three questions:

1. Is this true?
2. If it's not true, why is it so widely believed?
3. Either way, what should we do about it?

In the podcast, I give my answers to these questions.

Feature Segment: \xa010 Ways to Create More Content

The cornerstone of your online business is the creation of great content. But that creation is not always easy, especially if you have a goal of producing a lot of content consistently.

Here are 10 ways to produce more content, more consistently, and more easily. Especially when your ideas are running dry.

1. See a movie. This can result in posts like \u201cThe Hobbit's Guide to Online Marketing\u201d or even \u201cWhat Ironman Can Teach You about List Building\u201d.
2. Tell a personal story. Make a list of the most exciting, shocking, or embarrassing stories that have happened to you. This list should give you the starting point for many a blog post.
3. Be the interviewer. Pick the people you would most like to learn from, and set up interviews with them.
4. Write a review. You can review a book, a training program, a seminar, software\u2026 Anything applicable to your audience. The more detail, the better.
5. Publish a how to. We love tutorials, especially the granular, step-by-step kind.
6. Ask your audience. Just ask what they would most like to hear from you about. Other great ways to phrase the question include: what's your biggest problem? What's holding you back? What your number one question?
7. Curate some content. Simply collect and share links of your 10 favorite blog posts on subject X. Variations: \u201cThe 10 Best Posts On\u2026\u201d, \u201cFour Distinctly Different Views About\u2026\u201d, \u201cSeven Approaches To\u2026\u201d
8. Case studies. They can be your clients, or they can be other companies. Talk about what they're doing right, why you think it's right, and summarize some takeaways.
9. Opposite day. Make a list of your most popular posts, and ask yourself, \u201cwhat if I took the opposite view on this?\u201d
10. Guest posts. Solicit for guest posts on your blog. Just make sure what they write will be interesting to your audience. But if they come from your audience, they most assuredly will be.
