The good news?

Reusing space content for new classes

Many of you may have evergreen courses, where you can just send your participants through the same material again and again and are not worried by time sensitive content or have turned off commenting by users. Many times these pages are auto-publish and therefore the pages must be released through automation or auto responses.

But what if your content changes a bit for each class based on the time of year or topics? Maybe you allow commenting on your content, and don't want the next class to se…

Best practices to protect your material online

A common question from Simplero users is "How do I prevent customers from taking my content and sharing it elsewhere?"

Why We Don't Do Discounts... And Why You Shouldn't Either

Everybody likes a good discount. But discounts have serious downsides.

For one, if you're going to have an on-going relationship with the customer, say they're a coaching client, part of a program with live interaction elements, or a software user, then you want to make sure you cater to the kind of customer that you want to have as a customer.

Generally speaking, the people who haggle over money almost always turn out to be a hassle in other instances. People who happily pay the price general…

The Easiest Way to Build an Email List

We all know that the money's in the list. Your list of emails, that is.

Of course, it's not just about any old email addresses. It's about the email addresses of people that actively want what you have to offer, and that you have a relationship with.

But how do you build that list if you have nothing?

Facebook ads?

Google adwords?

Just put up a website or a blog and pray?

SEO?

Speaking engagements and blast out your opt-in from the stage?
