If you know how to build websites – or you’re willing to learn – you can make some extra money doing this. The sites are small – only one page – and they don’t take long to build.

These are without a doubt the biggest mistakes new marketers tend to make when it comes to copywriting… Lie #1: Good copywriting uses lots of exclamation points and over-the-top jargon a 5 year old wouldn’t believe. “This Brand New Revolutionary Never Before Seen Blah Blah Will Explode Your (Bank Account!
