    How Tim Stoddart Acquired CopyBlogger & Scaled It To 7 Figures + His Wealth Creation Philosophies

    How Tim Stoddart Acquired CopyBlogger & Scaled It To 7 Figures + His Wealth Creation Philosophies

    Let’s uncover the secrets to scaling a site to 7-figures! 

    Joining the BOB podcast is serial entrepreneur Tim Stoddart, who is the owner of Stodzy Inc., Sober Nation, and Copyblogger. 

    He is an influencer and leader in the sobriety and addiction space, where he shares his story from addict to entrepreneur and how he has built multiple income streams and helps people do the same with his highly successful SEO agency and marketing businesses. 

    Jaryd and Tim discuss the path to owning multiple income streams. When should you buy another business or invest in another asset? How can moving from operator to owner change the game in terms of building your wealth?

    They also talk about Tim’s journey to buying Copyblogger. What does he look for when buying businesses (and it’s not just about income)? They also share their investment philosophies and strategies for building or starting a business. Why is it that it’s not the company and its employees that grow a business? And who actually grows the business?

    Don't miss out on the strategies that turned CopyBlogger into a 7-figure powerhouse. Click the ‘Play’ button to unravel the wealth creation philosophies and kickstart your path to prosperity today. Your success story begins here!



    Episode Highlights

    06:10 When is the right time to diversify your investments?

    13:36 Tim’s perspective on investing

    23:49 Copyblogger’s journey into a profitable website

    29:30 Don’t monetize too early!

    31:45 Who builds and grows your business?

    39:18 Putting money where the cash flow is!



    Key Takeaways

    ➥ Tim suggests that there isn't a specific rule for determining when diversification becomes too fast but emphasizes focusing on the core revenue-generating business while using surplus funds for additional investments.

    ➥ Tim shares that he sees the acts of running a business and owning it as distinct roles. He leans toward the idea of buying assets, whether they are businesses or online companies, and aims to remove himself from the operational aspects. Tim introduces three categories: owning a business, owning assets (particularly online businesses), and investing.

    ➥ The common mistake in the online business space is prematurely chasing money. Instead, what you can do is build authority, brand value, and trust through content before pursuing monetization.

    Increase Blog Revenue By Bolting On A Newsletter Business with Craig Schoolkate

    Increase Blog Revenue By Bolting On A Newsletter Business with Craig Schoolkate

    Have less traffic on your blog? No problem! You can still earn more money through a newsletter.

    In today's episode, Jaryd Krause is joined by the dynamic Craig Schoolkate. So, get ready for insights on ramping up your blog revenue through the power of the newsletter business. 

    Craig developed his copywriting skills under Quinn Zeda at Zeda Labs. While at Empire Flippers, he found a passion for newsletters and successfully built one with 60,000 readers, boasting impressive engagement statistics. Currently, he authors the Growth Memo and oversees the growth of several newsletters, reaching a combined audience of over 89,000 entrepreneurs and marketers.

    Jaryd and Craig dive into starting  a newsletter. Why should every business have a newsletter (not just for extra money but for far more important reasons)? How do you grow a newsletter? What metrics should you track and how? And what email service provider (ESP) can you use?

    They also discuss building a brand within the newsletter. How can you make your newsletter and blog magnetic so that people will come to you with advertising dollars and opportunities? 

    Lastly, Craig shares the 3-legged marketing stool. This is so valuable; businesses should know how this works and incorporate it into their strategy.

    It's a game-changing episode you won't want to miss! Tune in now and generate more money for your online business. 

     

    Episode Highlights

    04:08  Craig’s journey into copywriting and online entrepreneurship

    12:02  How do you transform relationships into business success? 

    23:32  Unlocking your potential and monetizing your email list as a blogger 

    30:03  The art of value-centric growth and monetization 

    44:43  What are the best strategies to optimize a newsletter? 

     

    Key Takeaways

    ➥ According to Craig, an email list is considered the most important business asset. He goes so far as to state that if a business doesn't have an email list, it may not be considered a true business. The rationale behind this assertion is that an email list provides a consistent and engaged audience to whom products can be sold or who can be directed to the business's website.

    ➥ Craig promotes a shift from a competitive mindset to a collaborative one. Instead of viewing other businesses as competitors to be surpassed, he encourages businesses to see the potential for collaboration and abundance for everyone involved. This approach involves thinking about what can be given to the audience rather than what can be taken.

    ➥ To successfully monetize a newsletter, Craig recommends first defining a unique value proposition that sets the content apart. Subsequently, he emphasizes the importance of a testing phase with a small audience, gathering feedback, and refining the content based on responses. Adopting a long-term approach, he suggests building healthy metrics, such as achieving 50% or more open rates and minimizing unsubscribes to less than 1%, before considering monetization strategies. One of the primary methods he highlights is the introduction of sponsorships, but he suggests waiting until the newsletter is well-established and exhibits robust engagement. The quality and engagement of the content play a crucial role in attracting sponsors and retaining subscribers for successful long-term monetization.

     

    About The Guest

    Craig Schoolkate was nurtured into the craft of copywriting by Quinn Zeda, founder of a left-field CRO agency called Zeda Labs. When he moved on to Empire Flippers, he discovered his love for newsletters. He built the Empire Flippers newsletter, which had 60,000 readers, a 53.5% average open rate, and 96%+ of the audience read the entire email every week. Now, he writes the Growth Memo and leads the growth of multiple newsletters with a total audience size of 89,000+ entrepreneurs and marketers.
