Blogging / Angela Brooks

Two versions of the same link, one reading click here and one reading see the email tool I use, showing how salesy affiliate links differ from links that say where they go

The Price You Charge Is Also Your Job Description

Blog Systems / Angela Brooks

The low ticket vs high ticket question gets answered from the buyer’s side everywhere you look. The answer that changes your week is what each price obligates you to after she pays, and why the rung most people skip is the one that makes the larger offer sellable at all.

Four idea cards on a table with one turned face up, showing how to decide what to sell on your blog first

Choosing the One Offer You Sell First

Blog Systems / Angela Brooks

Deciding what to sell on your blog is harder when you have four ideas than when you have none. The course you keep outlining, the templates people ask for, the coaching you did once for a friend, the thing you almost built last spring. Every one of them could work, which is the problem, because

Is AI Citing Your Blog? Where to See the Proof
