Why You Should Celebrate When People Unsubscribe From Your List

August 29, 2013July 19, 2013 by Kumar Gauraw

Anything we do, we need to have some balance. When we get out of balance, that is when things start to get out of control. The same applies to social media marketing and list building as well.

When I started my first blog back in 2009, I didn’t know anything about list building and why it was important. But I heard about it everywhere. It seemed like such a sexy thing to have and some of those who had a huge list were winning everywhere.

Well, I quickly learned about list building and because it was so cool thing to have, I placed my subscriber forms and started to collect email addresses as I continued blogging. I followed the leaders and sure enough, my list began to grow slowly.

10 Amazing Benefits Of Blogging

August 29, 2013July 17, 2013 by Kumar Gauraw

Just a couple of decades ago, blogging didn’t even exist. It is relatively a new thing when we compared to some of the old ways of advertising, marketing or finding new business. However, there are about 200+ million blogs running on the internet today.

Blogging has established itself as the center of all online marketing where even big brands are paying a lot of attention to it.

Yet, I see so many people puzzled about blogging and its potential. Some are afraid that they are not good at this or that or something along those lines (just like fear of public speaking) while many others do not see it as a viable option.

But what concerns me the most is when smart people, who are successful at what they do, don’t see the point. They outrageously reject blogging as a viable marketing tool, thinking it is for people who have nothing better going on in their lives.

Success Demands That You Train Like A Champion [Special Announcement]

April 25, 2014July 11, 2013 by CeCe Clark

[note background=”#F6F6F6″] This is a guest post by my friend, entrepeneur and author CeCe Clark. There is a special event announcement in the end which I highly encourage you to pay attention to. [/note]

I met Kumar last year when I joined a St. Andrews Toastmaster’s public speaking club. We both have enjoyed serving the club in various capacities since then.

When Kumar offered me the opportunity to share a message with his community on this blog, it felt appropriate to share a message that I heard recently from Ryan Avery, the Toastmaster’s 2012 World Champion of Public Speaking.

To achieve this goal, Ryan had to compete and excel over more than 30,000 people who competed in this International competition. What an amazing accomplishment! During our conversation, Ryan shared with me that it was never his goal to become the World Champion for Public Speaking. Especially I remember he saying , “..but my goals was always to TRAIN like one”.

Why You Shouldn’t Start Your Own Business

August 29, 2013July 9, 2013 by Kumar Gauraw

Almost everyone I have met wants to succeed in their own business. Everybody also wants to find that secret recipe to success in entrepreneurship. I remember those days sitting with friends almost every Friday and planning to start different business ventures.

We used to have great discussions. What idea is going to work the best? What will be a good location? How to get the capital to invest? Who will be the target market and what reserves will we need to have available? I remember planning everything, distributing responsibilities among the group for further investigation and then Monday would come and ruin all our plans.

The cycle would recur every few weeks and none of us started any business for years.

Does this scenario sound familiar to you?
