Hey there,
Welcome to another edition of The Digital Entrepreneur Newsletter.
To start, here’s some news that may interest you.
Earlier this week, we launched a new course here at the Digital Commerce Academy.
It’s called “Creative Content Foundations” and it’s set-up for anyone who has the desire to make content marketing work for them, but has a gap or two in their skill set that’s holding them back.
Our team has spent months putting the course together, making sure it’s focused, but also comprehensive enough to give you real results as we’ll teach you the skills and practices that will make clients love you — and let you create plenty of professional, polished content that clients are happy to pay good money for.
We’re also offering the course at an extremely advantageous rate, but only until next Wednesday, April 4, 2018.
For more information, you can check out all of the course details, right here: https://digitalcommerce.com/creative-content-foundations-sales/
This week’s podcast recommendation is an intimate interview with Rand Fishkin, Founder of Moz, on the perils and positives of being a tech entrepreneur.
The truth of what it took to grow Moz has never been fully revealed – until now.
If you have ever wanted to start a technology business or have founded one already, then this interview will absolutely blow you away.
In this episode, Sean Jackson and Katy Katz talk with Rand about his latest book, Lost and Founder, and the painful (and insightful) lessons he has learned along the way.
