Have you experienced the frustrations of being ignored or perhaps hearing crickets when you reach out to prospects? If that's the case, how do you deal with it? Do you just give up and walk away?

Last week, Tom tackled what niche and what service is best. Spoiler alert! There is no best niche or service. However, you might want to do certain things based on where you are at in your business. Listen to Episode 26: Best Niche - Best Service to get the details. You can find it at remotemillionaires.com/podcastIn today's episode of The Remote Millionaires Podcast, Tom talks about specialization and whether or not you should do it. But first, what is specialization? It's when you focus on a specific industry or service. Example: We help dentists get more patients, or we specialize in SEO only. Some people do both by offering SEO only to Dentists. The usual advice you’ll hear is you should definitely specialize. People say. “The riches are in the niches.” You’ll even hear stories of professional athletes used as examples.But in David Epstein’s fantastic book ‘Range - Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World’ he shows that many more top successful people in their fields DID NOT SPECIALIZE when they were younger. They specialized late in life and became the best.What does this have to do with starting and growing a remote digital marketing agency?

Today's episode covers the answer many aspiring entrepreneurs have been asking. It may come in different forms, but it always comes down to “what is the best niche to target when you're trying to build a remote digital marketing agency, and what is the best service to offer?” Here's the short answer–there is no magic niche or service. In today's episode of The Remote Millionaires Podcast, Tom explains why he does not exactly believe in the magic of niches.

With the gazillion things you have to do when running your business, you often forget to build your standard operating procedures (SOPs).

If you are looking to build a sustainable remote business, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are a critical piece of that. So how do you create an SOP? Tom answers that in today's episode of the Remote Millionaires podcast. He also shares the SOP Framework Template they use in the Remote Millionaires Program.

When starting your business, often, you still need to get systems and processes in place, and everything is in your head. But if your long-term goal is to grow your business, then creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) would serve you well. First, it is easier to replicate your original products and services if you have SOPs in place, saving you time and training costs as you grow your team. Second, SOPs also protect the quality of your output. Finally, after building your SOPs, you can turn them into your proprietary blueprint or playbook, which will be a strong foundation for your growth plans. So how do you start building SOPs?In this episode, Tom speaks with Adam Lyons, a serial entrepreneur who runs 16 businesses and provides business coaching to CEOs of top companies. Adam has developed The SMART Blueprint, a proven framework for business owners who want to scale their businesses. He also hosts a podcast called SMART Businesses Do This. So tune in and learn from someone who has done it over the years. “I've realized that laziness is a superpower. My laziness makes me efficient because I will not waste energy.

People tend to perform a Google search first when searching and comparing products and services. So how do you make sure people can find you and your business? Your Google Business Profile shows people where and how to find you. Your business profile allows you to reach and connect with more people, list your products and services, and more. To explain more about the benefits of setting up your Google Business Profile and SEO, Tom interviews Sherry Bonelli. Sherry is a Google Business Profile Platinum Product Expert, a nationally recognized local SEO expert, and digital marketing professional. She entered the digital marketing world in 1998 when she launched her first e-commerce business selling pregnancy and baby products. Her e-commerce site was selected as one of the top 10 websites by a leading pregnancy magazine, and she appeared on the TODAY Show, CNN, ABC News, and other media outlets. Sherry is passionate about helping her clients grow their businesses through integrated digital marketing strategies.“Just know that Google now is not really looking at keywords. They're really looking at more topics. They don't want you to write content for keywords anymore. They want you to write content for the user.” (14:19)- Sherry Bonelli In This Episode:Meet Sherry Bonelli, Google Business Profile Platinum Product ExpertWe've all heard about SEO, but what is the difference between national SEO and local SEO?
