TBP011: Behind The Scenes of Ten Minute Pages - Interview with Kyle Graham

07/02/13 • 25 min

I have been talking about Ten Minute Pages lately. It is no mystery that it is something I recommend to much of my readers and listeners.

But, aside from the solution itself, there is also a business behind it.

And around here, that topic interests me. We're all working to build and expand our businesses, and I find that there are usually certain common elements that entrepreneurs master before success comes.

So, I decided to invite Kyle Graham, the creator of Ten Minute Pages, to come on The Blog Program. As of this recording, he was in the middle of his official product launch - which is always a pretty CRAZY experience (anybody who has done one will attest).

In this interview, we go behind the scenes into the growth of a software business online.

This interview covers such topics as:

What its like being in the middle of a product launch
The "aha moment" which suddenly lead from years of mediocre performance and client work... to the creation of Ten Minute Pages and really rockin'
How important picking the right target market really is
Some of the growing pains of a rapidly growing business - and how Kyle dealt with it.
The #1 most important skill that you MUST master before you'll achieve rapid growth

Definitely a good conversation.

TBP012: Why I Switched Away From Aweber After Years Of Awesome Service

It takes certain tools to run an online business, and there are choices that need to be made.

In this episode of The Blog Program, I get into some of the behind-the-scenes nitty-gritty details of what makes an online business tick.

Specifically, we'll be talking about email marketing, and why after YEARS of working with Aweber, I decided to switch away from it and make the move to Office AutoPilot (aka Ontraport).

This was a pretty big move for me, and one which isn't going to be applicable to everybody in my audience. However, this episode will be a good one for those of you who...

Are running established online businesses and find yourself getting frustrated with some of the limitations of your current software, and feel you're leaving money on the table because of it. OR...
