I've Tried Everything, But Have No Real ...

Pat Flynn
About this episode

On this week's AskPat coaching call, I talk with Jason McCarthy, founder of a site called DigiNo.org. He gets 80,000 visitors a month, but it doesn't translate into revenue. Why is this? Where is this traffic coming from? What do these visitors want, and where is the disconnect that's preventing them from spending money? We work through a lot of questions, and Jason's already done a ton of the right things: advertising, investors, an email list, videos... but his income is unreliable. This one is a toughie, but stick around to see what we come up with together.

If you enjoyed today's episode and you love the format of this show and helping other entrepreneurs, can you help me convince others to listen, too? All you have to do is leave a quick review and rating on Apple Podcasts (and subscribe if you haven't already). That would mean the world to me, so thank you so much!
