5. All things Derek Halpern
Ok, so I’m a fan. I’ve been following Derek Halpern, creator of Social Triggers, for a minute. Derek has some great content for entrepreneurs and online marketers. He’s not necessarily targeting moms, but that doesn’t matter. He’s targeting people who want to make money online, and that’s you. He has 3 free resources for download on his site. Since I’ve been following him for a while, my favorite is How To Get Your First 5,000 Subscribers. It’s a fast read, but the ebook is chock full of great ideas to boost your internet subscribers. Honestly, I haven’t consistently followed his recommendations and even with my inconsistent work, I was still able to get over 1000 subscribers in two months on a new blog. Derek’s content is worth checking out, especially for moms, because his end goal is to help anyone who’s willing to do the work to get results. If you’re into YouTube videos, his brand, Social Triggers has a new YouTube channel. Subscribe and get to know a bit more about Derek, the genius behind the content.
