Here's the most recent podcast that we did with Phil Newton over on The Hustle & Flowchart Podcast. This is a repost of the shownotes from our main blog.
Although he looks like he is 18 years old, David Sinick is actually a digital marketing industry veteran. As the CEO and co-owner of Paleohacks, one of the largest Paleo communities on the web, he has been behind the scenes for over 8 years on everything from NYT bestsellers, online summits, high end coaching, information products — in niches from women’s dating & relationships, black history, to Paleo & health and wellness.
Dave took an online forum with zero revenues to a 7-figure company with 7+ products and a list of 600k+ in less than 3 years. He has done this with 7 employees and 20 writers.
On today’s episode, David will share his strategies and tips on how to scale out the competition when it comes to online marketing world. We’ll surely learn a lot from his expertise in running the show “Paleohacks”.
“We all have the same 24 hours in a day, if I’m going to do something I’ll do that right the best I can possibly do it. Go for the gold. The day is gonna go by anyway so might as well just do it. Everybody should have this “let’s do this best” approach.” – David Sinick
