“Get the best designer you can afford and get a brilliant website” Glenn Murray (tweet this)

Marketing philosophy

Share your knowledge (like Glenn did with his successful SEO Secrets e-book).

Ah-a moments

Meeting and partnering with Darren Rowse (aka Problogger) to create an e-book. And then seeing first hand the power of email marketing for selling. Their e-book sold a copy every 5 seconds during their email marketing “hard launch.”

Copywriting scorecard for bloggers is that book.

Marketing that brings the most joy

Google+ and the pro tip is just focus on relationships, being yourself and expressing your personality.

Advice if you’re starting out

Get the best designer you can afford and get a brilliant website. Forget all social media platforms, bar one or two. Glenn prefers Google+ and Twitter.

Mentions and Influences

Parting advice.
