Your website is a powerful revenue driver for your business. Well ok, maybe it isn’t now. But it CAN be.
And if you’re on Wordpress, this is not only possible, but INCREDIBLY easy, thanks to the wide variety and availability of the best Wordpress plugins.
A plugin is simply an add-on that extends the power of what your website can do. There’s literally a plugin for almost any purpose you can imagine, and each only takes 2 clicks to install!
Today, I wanna share my top 10 must-have Wordpress Plugins that will put most of the heavy lifting for your website on autopilot.
The plugins I’m gonna share with you will help you in these 5 ways:
1. Website creation (so you can get up and launched FAST)
2. Search optimization (so you can get found on the Google machine)
3. Communication (so your prospects can reach you way easier)
4. Security (so you never have to worry about hacking)
5. Speed (so you won’t lose any more clients to a site that takes its sweet time)
This is the exact same plugin stack I personally use and recommend to my paid consulting clients, and I can’t wait to share them all with you too.
Once you add these plugins, you won’t just have a website. You’ll have a true automated powerhouse working for your business all day and all night.

Some businesses sell skydiving, some sell sex appeal, but some sell…
Insurance. Or accounting. Or bio-thermal imaging.
And guess what? Just because you can’t make a Red Bull-fueled ad for your business doesn’t mean you can’t market it effectively!
And I’ve got some great ideas for you if your business is on the less-than-exciting side.
In this week’s podcast episode, I sat down with the team from Wally Home Loan to alleviate their concern that their business might just be too boring to create content around.
As you’ll hear in our conversation, nothing could be further from the truth.
They walked away with enough ideas to get them into 2023, and I'd bet money that you’ll walk away with just as many for your business.

Cuz there’s NOTHING boring about more business…

Let’s get real for a second — of all your website traffic, the cold, hard truth is, only about 10% of them are even thinking about making a decision today.
The rest? Well, they’re just window shopping — at least for now.
So how the heck do you cement yourself in the minds of the 90% of your site visitors so hard that they remember you over everyone else when they’re actually ready to pull the trigger?
You gotta get 'em on your email list, that’s how.
And the only way to do that is with an absolutely irresistible lead magnet.
Something that makes a small, yet tangible promise, and delivers on that promise — whetting their appetite for “the real thing” in the process.
If this sounds like some kind of sorcery, fear not!
In this week’s episode of “The Profitable Website” podcast, I sat down with Salome Schillack who knows a thing or 2 about highly converting lead magnets.
We get into all the nitty-gritty details, including:
✔️ How to nail down the right topic for your lead magnet, (and why most businesses miss the mark completely)
✔️ Your different format options, and what specific TYPES of lead magnets are doing really well right now
✔️ Where the emphasis NEEDS to be if you want massive opt-ins (trust me, you do!)
I can tell you from personal experience, the right lead magnet can fundamentally change your business for the better.
So if you’re thinking of skipping this episode… Big mistake! Listen now!

Have you used LinkedIn to attract more clients to you and your business?
It’s actually pretty easy — when you have the right plan. Aaand guess what? Today, that plan’s all yours!
Many small business owners still worry that the platform is too formal or corporate for their audiences.
The truth is — LinkedIn could very well be one of your most underrated marketing channels.
In 2020, LinkedIn was voted the most trusted social network, AND traffic from LinkedIn converts 3x as much as traffic from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
In this week’s podcast episode, I’m taking you deep behind the scenes to know my dead-simple 2-step system — and how I get more business using LinkedIn.
Also, I let you in on the all-too-common method that NEVER works — so you can avoid ever doing it yourself. Seriously, it’s such a turn-off I can’t even tell you (I routinely have to remove connections because they do this!)
So if you’re ready to FINALLY make LinkedIn work for you, let’s dive into the strategy!

Which online review platform gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and which gets ⭐️?
Google Reviews, Yelp and even Facebook Recommendations — they can all help your business, but let’s get real — you need to actually point your customers in a direction if you want them to do anything — like leave you a glowing review.
So which direction is gonna be most effective in growing your business?

In this podcast, I’ll be breaking down the key differences between Yelp, Google and Facebook as review platforms, showing you the good, bad and — yes, potentially very ugly sides of each.
By the end, you’ll know which platform you should chase, and direct your customers toward if they want to leave you that 5 star review.
And you’ll also know which platform I’d give ZERO ⭐️’s if I could! (Ok, that was dramatic, but you’ll see what I mean...)
So listen now and get those ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ today!
