Welcome to Authority Webinars

Sonia Simone and Sean Jackson

This week Sean Jackson joins Sonia to talk about the most useful SEO tools today. This session accompanies our Evergreen SEO session, which you can find inside Authority in your recent webinars.

In this lesson, Sean and Sonia cover:

•  The latest best practices for keyword research
• Tricks and techniques for discovering juicy content topics
• Tools for optimizing images
• Understanding your competition

Does it sometimes seem like you'd be pretty much ruling the world by now if you were able to keep your focus and get more done?

You're not alone. Managing how we spend our time is one of the most important factors in any form of success. And sometimes it seems like the more we try to push ourselves to be productive, the further behind we fall.

In this session, writer Claire Emerson will walk us through implementing Jim Benson's "Personal Kanban" system.

Personal Kanban will help you if you:

• Have a tendency to overlook projects until they reach the crisis point
• Get overwhelmed by big, complex goals and have a hard time breaking them down into manageable chunks
• Find it's challenging to finish what you start
• Fail to give yourself enough time to reflect on what you've accomplished and move forward mindfully

Sonia Simone shares an important update on what's coming next for the Authority community.

Because of some technology issues (we'll explain all in the session), there are going to be some big changes coming for Authority next year. We want to make sure that we take excellent care of our loyal community members, and continue to give you what you need to move your projects forward.

This is a fairly brief webinar presentation but be sure to listen in if you'd like to hear where Authority is moving to, and what the next steps are for putting that plan into action.

• The “two faces” of email (content marketing and copywriting), and the keys to each
• An email-friendly adaptation of a traditional copywriting formula
• How to put together effective sequences that deliver a persuasive message
• The three foundations of persuasive copy, and how they work in email
• Making your email marketing inherently rewarding, so your audience wants to open your messages and click through
