Something had just clicked in my head, so I went running to create this article

But before going into it, just for context’s sake, what we’re talking about is these sorts of sections, like the one on Quintly’s page:

Last week, I created an article. And it blew up.

With no audience to share it to, it had reached 29,000 people, generated over 50 followers and helped get people to my landing page, which has added over 70 people to my list.

(And to give you an idea of what that feels like, this is what I woke up to the next day)

You created the perfect landing page. And then, it doesn’t convert.

To your dismay, you realize that your page speed score is ABYSMAL.

Dreadful!

Shameful!

Deplorable!

Other complicated words!

So what can you do?

Let’s break down the most common reasons:

1. Your page is demanding too many round trips to the server.
2. Your files are HUGE!
3. You’re trying to do everything at the same time.

We don’t have time to lose, you have a landing page to save!

1) Your page is needing too many round trips to the server

So here’s the secret of the internet…

Every image, every sentence of your copy, every color and every line of code that your page is made up of —…

A few days ago, I found myself lost in a sea of unread emails.

Emails from different emails lists, promotions from my bank, from my dad’s bank, from ebay, my mom’s subscriptions to realtor websites, from social media, from…

Let’s just say it was insane.

And that’s because, over the years, I’ve created a bunch of emails for different reasons.

And add to the fact that, since I was my family’s “tech guy”, I also helped them with stuff for their emails…

It became an absolute mess.

Imagine…

One email for the YouTube channel I made when I was a teen.

One email for my dad’s business.

Another that used to be the one…

You have just 3 seconds to load your page before people leave.

Anything more than that, and money is flat out lost.

“The average time it takes to fully load a mobile landing page is 22 seconds, according to a new analysis. Yet 53% of visits are abandoned if a mobile site takes longer than three seconds to load. That’s a big problem.” Daniel An, Google, 2017

We all know what happens when Indiana Jones grabs the idol from the pedestal.

The place immediately starts shaking.

Indy starts looking around frantically.

He starts to sweat.

And you see his expression change as you can guess the single thought going through his head.

“I need to get out of here NOW.”

He books it to the entrance.

The dangerous traps he’s been carefully avoiding before?

They don’t matter now.

A barrage of sleep darts and traps are sprung in his frenzy to the exit.

And he somehow manages to not get hit by a single one.

And then you can imagine what happens.

Chasms are jumped.

Split-second decisions need to be made.

The way I see it, there are two ways to do marketing.

You can either:

1. Have your leads come to you. (paid advertising, SEO, referrals, Content Marketing)
2. Go where your leads are. (Social media, Online groups, cold emailing)

Since you’re going the organic route, that means some of your options are limited. So:

• No paid advertising (Google, Facebook, social media ads)
• No paying for lists of interested leads (For campaigns)

That leaves us with:

• SEO (Long term strategy and dependent on algorithms)
• Non-paid Content Marketing (Time consuming and can be hit or miss )
• Social Media interaction (Time-consuming, can be hit or miss AND it’s based on algorithms)
• Online Groups
• Creating your…

Have you ever thought about how metal chains are made?

Me neither.

But then I came across a video with this picture of an orange hot chain as its preview. So of course I had to watch it.

Did you know chain starts as a kind of wire rod?

It’s weird right? I mean, it kind of makes sense, but it’s not what you would have expected, is it?

Not to mention, the material looks so flimsy compared to an actual steel chain when you look at it. And then you wonder…

How the hell does it go from that to the wonderful don’t-you-dare-steal-my-bike chain we all know and love?

Well, it starts by passing the rod through a machine that…
