By Maricha Ellis, Stericycle Environmental Solutions The devastating destruction from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria in 2017 wreaked havoc on retailers — and everything else — in their path. But cleaning up the damage caused by a severe storm isn’t as simple as hauling dumpsters out to your retail location and throwing all of the waste into it.

You’ve heard people telling you that you need to write in-depth content because that’s what Google wants. And it’s true… the average page that ranks on page 1 of Google contains 1,890 words. But you already know that. The question is, should you be writing 2,000-word articles? 5,000? Or maybe even go crazy and create ultimate guides that are 30,000 words?

Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in emails. Between work emails, catching up with friends on the other side of the world, flash sales from fashion brands, the seven daily emails from Amazon, and the confirmation of orders I’ve placed, my inbox is never even close to reaching zero. The amount of emails being sent is reaching extraordinary levels. In 2017, the total number of business and consumer emails sent and received per day reached 269 billion.

I’m fascinated by growth. As a financial industry entrepreneur and investor, in many ways, growth is my stock-in-trade. Whether they’re small start-ups in Silicon Valley or huge public companies, the best companies experience very high growth. I have an 8 to 80 investing philosophy, which basically means that I’m looking for high-growth companies that appeal to people between 8-years-old and 80-years-old.

It seems like Facebook releases a new update to their algorithm every other week. Some barely make a blip, while others cause marketers to collectively lose their minds. Somewhere in the middle was last month’s announcement that Facebook was cracking down on ads from ecommerce sites with poor reviews (or, as they framed it, “improving customer service from advertisers”). .

I find it a little strange that I ended up as the CEO of an ecommerce company. It was not in the master plan. But looking back, I guess it makes sense. In high school I was already selling products on Amazon and Ebay. I really wanted to create my own product, so I invented the first leather watch strap without holes. It worked like a zip tie where you slide the strap through the buckle and it caught on notches in the strap.

People searching for custom Air Force badges or airplane models tend to have something very specific in mind. But just because they search for it doesn’t mean they’re ready to buy.

Successfully selling your products and services relies on your ability to get in front of as many people as possible.
