How To Build A List Of 26,000 Loyal Subscribers With Jeff Rose

I’m really thrilled to have Jeff as our very first guest on our brand new podcast. Jeff is what I would consider to be a “unicorn” in our industry because very few advisors have been able to build a list of 26,000 subscribers with their blog website.

His story will inspire you that it truly is possible to build your dream business that support the lifestyle you desire. We even dive into actual revenue numbers, you’ll be shocked just how passive income (it’s in the HUNDREDS of thousands) Jeff is making from his blog website…which is in addition to his financial practice.

If you’re just getting started with building an internet marketing presence for your practice, this interview is for you. Jeff breaks down everything he has done to build his blog website and the critical mistakes he made early on and how you can avoid making them yourself.

Jeff also reveals a new program he’s creating for advisors to be able to duplicate what he has one online.
