Americans Spend Between $1,500 and $8,000 Online Each Year
Estimates suggest that the average American shopper spent around $1,800 online in 2015, but many shop online regularly and spent much more. Every e-mail address and name on your mailing list represents the potential that you can generate income from a portion of that spending. That’s where social media like Facebook and E-campaigns comes in.

It’s true. Things happen fast these days. We search the Internet for something and we want immediate results. But, if we don’t like the look and feel of a website, we’re gone… and we never go back.

- Keep your information and content current.
- Use social media like Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram to bring visitors to your site.
- Send out a regular newsletter inviting visitors to your Blog.

It’s not rocket science. Not brain surgery. It’s just a couple of hours each week.
Do these things each week, consistently for 12 months and you’ll have a business that lasts for years.
It works every time.
