A Passive Incomes Lifestyle by Rob Higgs

SMS Marketing is for the big boys, right?
Not for a little business like yours.

The number one reason aspiring online marketers fail isn’t because they didn’t have the right product or reach the right audience, although both of those are crucial, too.
I believe the number one reason new marketers fail is because of self-sabotage. The inner critic loves to play games with us and mess with our minds, and if we’re not vigilant, we’ll begin to believe these seeds of doubt that tell us we’re not good enough or smart enough to build our own businesses.

No matter what you’re selling or where you are selling it – ads, webpages, video sales letters, email campaigns and so forth – these 3 techniques will help you sell more products with less effort. And they’re easy to learn and implement, too.

To generate traffic, look for every question related to your industry, and answer those questions.

If nothing else, why not inject some human into your posts, just for the fun of it?
Better yet, make some sharable memes with your URL and see if they go viral.
If nothing else, everyone will get a good laugh, including you.
