Blogger Profile: How Neil Patel Makes Millions with Quick Sprout
For a part-time blogger, Neil Patel is pretty successful.
Patel?s main focus is KISSmetrics, a mid-sized company that helps businesses track important online metrics. His business and marketing blog, Quick Sprout, is really more of a side project.
But that hasn?t stopped Quick Sprout from exploding in popularity and earning Patel recognition as a Top 100 Technorati Blogger. I?ll profile Neil Patel below and explain how Quick Sprout helps him earn a million dollars a year even though turning a profit was never part of the plan.

How To Sleep Deeper, Wake Up Earlier & Become Superhuman
“Mom? 5 more minutes” sound familiar? I love to sleep. In fact, I love to sleep so much I think this is the main reason I got out of the military and eventually started my own business. I am one of those people that set their alarms earlier just so I can hit snooze three or four times? at least I was. Is Snooze Slowly Killing You? Maybe “kill” is too strong of a word, or maybe it’s not. But let’s define killing you. Have you ever noticed when you hit snooze you wake up more tired, get less done, have a foul attitude towards life, and are generally just not at your peak performance? Have you noticed this effects your business, fitness, and most importantly your relationships? Or the fact that you get the recommended allowance of 7 to 9 hours recommended by just about everyone? but never feel [...]

How to be More Productive Online ? 5 Proven Tips
The Internet gives us unprecedented power to produce, but it simultaneously offers unprecedented opportunity to distract ourselves.
Slip into the bottomless abyss of email, StumbleUpon, YouTube, and your myriad social feeds... and you may as well throw your goals for the day out the window.
But if you're able to discipline yourself, harness the Internet's power, and get things done efficiently... that means more time for your hobbies, your loved ones, and your passions.
The secret to being more productive online isn't much of a secret at all: it starts and ends with focus and discipline. But there are ways to make this focus and discipline much easier to obtain. I've outlined five proven tips below.

Here's one answer: when you search your first name on Google and you?re the top result.

Blogger Profile: How Neil Patel Makes Millions with Quick Sprout
For a part-time blogger, Neil Patel is pretty successful.
Patel?s main focus is KISSmetrics, a mid-sized company that helps businesses track important online metrics. His business and marketing blog, Quick Sprout, is really more of a side project.
But that hasn?t stopped Quick Sprout from exploding in popularity and earning Patel recognition as a Top 100 Technorati Blogger. I?ll profile Neil Patel below and explain how Quick Sprout helps him earn a million dollars a year even though turning a profit was never part of the plan.

Why You Shouldn?t Get Bent Out of Shape About Siri Rankings (Yet)
Siri, and by extension Apple Maps, is a hot topic these days. With good reason. But I think it's important to take a step back and not fall victim to "shiny object syndrome," as SEO's (including your humble author) so often do. But the number of questions I get, and chatter that I see, about Siri seems to be way out of proportion. What should that proportion be?
