Call to Action
Just a reminder that you can do all the sales hustle you want, but if you don’t put a phone number on your notecard call to action on your website you probably won’t make many sales.
The Hulk Summary
This is great writing advice from… I guess it’s both Knut Melvær & Even Westvang as they are both listed as authors on the post. … channel your inner Hulk voice … and use it to describe whatever you need to get writing on. Hammer down that shift key (caps lock is a cop-out) and […]
