We gifted our Office Hours members a subscription to LinkWhisper today!

Link Whisper is a great SEO tool

Today we gifted everyone in Office Hours a subscription to Link Whisper, an AI-driven tool that generates smart internal links to help you rank better on Google.

If you were to buy it, pricing starts at $77 per website per year.

And if you were to add in all the other tools we provide for Office Hours members, such as Rank Math, you’d see that’s far more than the subscription of Office Hours.

Then you get all our courses and LIVE support from our team for free on top of that.

Is that not a KILLER deal?

When I designed this program, that was my goal– to put together what I would want to see to help me grow my business, figure out what tools are best, and get guidance along the way from the pros.

Why You Need To Be More Personal In Your Business Ventures

The following is a guest post by Dr. Chris Collins from Chattanooga, TN

The first time I heard Dennis speak was in a Facebook live video interview with Black Diamond Club. In that discussion, he was speaking about how to create personal touches through social media. 

This guy is so genuine about the whole thing, taking all rules off the table, and saying things like, “Why don’t you just send them a personal video response or audio message.”

Be Personal

Even as a doctor who places emphasis on personalized care, my first thought was still, “Wouldn’t that be weird?”. Until I tried it, and I have to say, people were touched.

What I’ve learned from Dennis this year is you are always in a state of influence to someone, and it pays to be kind. 

Does he walk the walk? Without question, yes. After the conversation on his live, he invited everyone to send him an email asking a question or saying hi, and he sent me a personalized video encouraging me to feel empowered as a doctor and an authority figure in my community.

Enjoy his first message to me below:

Build Relationships

Relationships are his thing, and most good marketers should know a thing or two about how to create a relationship and create value and then deliver.

The difference I see in Dennis is his consistency in follow-through, and his earnest desire to understand what others’ needs are.

A perfect example is my second interaction with Dennis. I was on his stage, at an event where I was about to give an impromptu 1-minute video script sharing a “why moment”.

Dennis made it super easy, especially considering I was in front of a crowd of about 250 people. Dennis gave respectful and just enough helpful feedback without drawing too much attention to himself.

Here’s a picture of me on stage giving my “Why” about standing up for yourself:

ROI From Personalized Care

Okay, so I’m sure this is starting to sound flattery, so for anyone reading who is a pragmatist, here’s where I see the objective value.

The magic in Dennis Yu is his experience, knowledge application, and connections. In the first month, since we hired him we have already seen 3x the inquiries, which equals not only increased revenue for us but people served in Chattanooga, TN.

You’ve been continuously marketed to your whole life, and for a guy like Dennis who has been in the game for such a long time, he’s earned his right to be an egotistical puffed-up blowfish with a wizard hat that reads “SEO king” on it. The brilliant thing is, he’s not egotistical, and he’s not flashy.

The best word I can use to describe him in the noise of all the schools of marketing clamor out there. – refreshing.

How A $100 Tab Led to a Butterfly Effect of Empowerment

The following is a guest post by Dr. Grant Dennis.

Benevolence.

It quite possibly could be the very thing that our community will require to survive during the pandemic that has now taken us into 2021.

Benevolence is simply the act of giving without any expectation of return; it is a nice gesture, or the act of paying it forward to the next person.

I have witnessed firsthand the power that beholding a benevolent posture can have — not only the people of your community, but on yourself, as well.

I went into a few local restaurants back in March 2020, when the pandemic first hit. Many small businesses and restaurants were being shut down, and were massively impacted financially.

I decided to start a $100 tab, and told anyone in the community that needed some extra support to go and pick up a pizza, or pick up a sack lunch, “on Dr. Grant’s tab.” 

This served two purposes: to help local businesses garner more business, but also to help people in my community who were massively impacted by the pandemic.

But, there was also a third purpose that I didn’t appreciate at first. At a time when most are living in a state of fear and disempowerment due to circumstances outside of their control; it provided me with a new sense of empowerment

So, as we head into a new year, and we close the book on a year that could be described with every adjective except for “normal,” I would encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, and make one small implementation in your life that I know can have a massive impact – not only on yourself, but also on everyone in your community.

Join me in choosing just one local small business every week and supporting them in whatever way you feel like – from a place of benevolence.

Start a tab, purchase an item and donate it, or simply go and buy their particular product or service and tip extra.

I think you will find that if you make this commitment to your community and yourself, you will find a huge leap in abundance, empowerment, and fulfillment that will propel you to have the best year that you have ever had on so many levels in 2021.

Yours in health,

Dr. Grant Dennis

What is the most important thing to do before launching a new blog?

What is the most important thing to do before launching a new blog?

Decide on a topic you absolutely, authoritatively want to DOMINATE.  Enough so that you can write 100 blog posts on that topic and interview 18 people who credibly have expertise in that particular niche.  

Blogs that get traffic— not random corporate or personal blogs– are the realm of EXPERTS who go so deep in an area that Google can’t help but index their terms.

Growing blog traffic isn’t about short-term SEO tricks, but having content so deep and consistent that there’s no question to a human or bot that you have the best posts, deserving of that top ranking in Google.

When you have those 18 people that you interview via video (perhaps as part of your “podcast”– people won’t say no to being on a podcast), chop these interviews into blog posts.  Embed those videos, too, which help you rank in video search, too.

If you’re launching your blog, don’t give up after the first couple posts– get to 100 posts deep on that topic, at least one post per day.Decide on a topic you absolutely, authoritatively want to DOMINATE.  Enough so that you can write 100 blog posts on that topic and interview 18 people who credibly have expertise in that particular niche.
