The Founder Of “A Smart Bear” Jason Cohen Dishes On How He Got 6,000 Blog Subscribers In 12 Months

Got subscribers? Want some?

Jason Cohen knows a thing or two hundred about blogging, creating content, and business. In fact, the last time he was on RISE, Jason gave a glimpse into using his book as a marketing weapon. He is back (lucky us) to talk a bit about blogging and, more importantly, retaining people. Subscribers. Community members. Whatever the heck you want to call them.

In fact, Jason increased his subscribers by 6,000 in just one year and blogged about it. Today, Jason joins me to discuss:

-How he did it.

-Why subscribers are important (and why they might be overrated).

-Good traffic vs. worthless traffic.

-How to become more subscribable (Ya, I just made that up…).

…and much more.
