How to profit from the long tail

The way we market and sell online is changing.

There are more people online than ever before, spending more money than ever before on things that give them a leg up in the world. That means more money going to ebooks, ecourses, and other forms of online education; coaching, consulting, and advisory services; software solutions, and high quality implementors (engineers, designers, etc.).

This growth comes with a price: more noise (aka competing offers other than your own that are targeting the same market).

And things are only going to heat up over the next 3 to 5 years.

Question is:

Are you positioning yourself and your business in such a way that you can profit from these changes over the next decade?

Not sure? No sweat.
