Essentialist Marketing on Rainmaker: Month 0 (April)
I guess you can say I went through “a phase” during my latest 3 blog posts. In vivid Technicolor (and with some ambivalence) I went from: admitting my failure to properly market my membership website (not taking full advantage of the Rainmaker Platform’s many built-in content marketing tools) and, as a result; contemplating how my business and solopreneurial life […]
One Conscious Marketing Channel to Rule Them All
Last week I wrote a blog post sharing what I see as my failure to properly market my membership website, products and services – not taking full advantage of the Rainmaker Platform’s many built-in content marketing tools. That realization got me contemplating: how would my business and solopreneurial life look, if I deliberately chose to […]
Great Idea? But… I Ain’t No Digital Marketing Specialist!
Hmmmm… I must admit that I have some doubts about this idea of “simplifying my marketing to its bare bones essentials” that I blogged about last week. Truth is, I’m not 100% confident it’s such a brilliant idea after all; for me to narrow-mindedly rely 100% on just the Rainmaker content marketing platform? I fear painting […]

Happily, I can declare that my switch to Rainmaker absolutely got rid of my frustrations. So far so good great! Secretly, I also had another, additional hope: to rely 100% on what the […]

Headway, WordPress, Multisite, Domains – Easyfied for You
WebMatros / Headway Hero member Ngozi wanted to know how she can run multiple Headway websites, from the same WordPress install.

The Parallax Scrolling Effect – Plague or Panacea?
Yesterday, I spent a whole day digging deeper into responsive design, mobile-friendliness and parallax backgrounds. I wasn’t a big fan of parallax backgrounds… and after my research and testing: I’m still not a fan of parallax backgrounds;) They’re resource-intensive (often slow/lagging), not mobile-friendly (mostly don’t work on mobile devices), consume bandwidth… and often: they make […]

Growth Hacker Marketing Tips, Tricks & Tactics
Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m a junkie. An audiobook junkie. It all started at Amazon back in 2004 or so. I started buying books. Books about photography and design. Marketing, branding, self-help.
