Curated Advice Links for the Week of Nov. 26, 2018

This week in curated advice, I want to direct your attention to videos from the 20Booksto50K group’s convention in Las Vegas, tweaking your marketing during the holiday months, and why Amazon wants you to make only clean links.

M.K. Williams posted the first of a five-part series on YouTube to talk about how to land a lot on one and how to make it profitable. Only one vid’s up, but it’s less than 5 minutes long.

If you’re not a member of the 20Booksto50K group, nor went to their convention in Las Vegas, you’re still in luck. Most of the presentations are up on YouTube. Day One features talks by Chris Fox / Bryan Cohen, Chrishaun Keller Hanna, and Craig Martelle and Michael Anderle. Day Two has talks by Michael Laronn, Dean Wesley Smith, and more.
