I have been lurking here for about 2 years.

My mindset has already shifted away from making a buck to creating value. Here's a quick timeline on where I'm at.

Throw yourself into things, even if you aren't ready.
Lately, I just say "yes" , or do things, before I even know how. Once you're forced to do things you're not ready for, not only does it ensure things get done, but it gives you an interesting look at the problem. I find this rule benefits you more than it causes harm.

Exciting News about Let Go (expanded edition) and a Video Contest!
I have some exciting news to share and a fun video contest for you to participate in! But first, as some of you may know, I wrote a book titled Let Go, which documented my experience in getting laid off from my architecture job in 2008, and eventually overcoming that adversity through a commitment to pursuing my own path.
After being let go from my job, over time, I also realized that had to let go of the obstacles keeping me from doing what I was meant to do. Letting go has been an integral part of my success as an online business owner. And I have a lot more to say about that. So, on August 22, 2017:
I am launching the updated and expanded edition of Let Go!
Expanded Edition of Let Go: What’s It All About?
The expanded edition of Let Go is an exploration of what it means—for me and for you—to let go of the things keeping us from achieving our goals. It’s about letting go of fear and the things that limit us on our path toward something greater. When you face obstacles and challenges along the way, it’s about letting go of the limiting beliefs that keep you from moving on.
Since writing the first edition of Let Go, I’ve learned so much, in both successes and failures. With the expanded edition, I wanted to find a way to continue my story, and to reach and serve more people with more substance and guidance on the act and art of letting go. I wanted to give you a vision of the future, from what’s possible to the challenges you’ll face as you build your business and create the life you want to live.
I’m really excited for you all to check it out! Check out the new design of Let Go, expanded edition below.
Note: It’s not the final design, but it’s nearly there!
Starting on August 21, you will be able to order your copy of the book on Amazon.
But hey! That’s not all. To celebrate the book launch, we’re hosting a contest to give you an opportunity to share your let go story. I shared my let go story. Now it’s your turn!
Let Go Story and Video Contest
Sharing Your Let Go Story:
If you have a story of letting go on your pursuit to something greater—in your personal life or your business life or both—you have a story to share. And I’d love to hear it! Letting go is about letting go of the obstacles you have faced and will face in your own journey.
To Enter the Let Go Story Video Contest:
- Record a video (no longer than 3 minutes) of you telling your let go story. Be open, honest, and don’t be afraid to get vulnerable (but please keep it appropriate)! Upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo (make sure the video is set to public, not private).
- When your video is uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo, take that public link and post it in the comments of THIS BLOG POST.
- I will review all of the let go story submissions in the comments section of THIS BLOG POST between August 1, 2017 and August 24, 2017 and announce the winner on August 25. I’m looking for authenticity, creativity, and passion. Don’t feel like you need to make some huge impact in online business or anything. This is your story, and that’s important to me. Share with gusto!
My Favorite Let Go Video Submission Will Win:
On August 25, I will announce the winner of contest live on Facebook (http://ift.tt/1IDs0BT), and on Twitter (@PatFlynn). My favorite video submission will win:
A paid trip to San Diego to spend the day with me!
You may be wondering what a day with me would look like. Well, let me give you an idea. We could spend the day doing just about anything, but here are a few fun options:
- A visit to my favorite taco shop!
- Time to chat about business, life, and anything else you want to chat about!
- A tour of my new video recording studio, and we’ll even go live together if you’re up for it!
- Dinner at my local favorite restaurant!
- And more!
Sound fun? I hope so! I hope you can enter the Let Go Story Video Contest, and I can’t wait to watch all of your amazing videos!
Again, be sure to order your copy of Let Go, expanded edition starting on August 21. And join the Let Go Story Video Contest by posting your video in the comments of THIS BLOG POST below!
Happy letting go!
Pat

B2B SaaS sales during summer season
Its been my first summer running my B2B SaaS business and it seems like sales are not doing good during July. Is this something normal for summer season? Should I be worried? Our customers are mostly from US,CA & UK.
Bare in mind that we hadn't done any pre-work regarding summer (offers, advertising etc).

Lots of Newbies... Let's take it easy on them while they learn
The new book is bringing new people to the forums. Many of them are reading the information and attempting to grasp the concepts.
For some people, this process takes a long time. There are a lot of beliefs that come with the scripted life and most cannot just toss these ideas out of their heads. It takes practice.
There are those that will grab on immediately but this is a small minority.
I would like to suggest that we give people time to acquiesce to the process....

July Algorithm Updates, New AdSense Rule, GSC Data Anomoly & RIP Flash: Weekly Forum Update
Over the last couple weeks there has been extensive discussion around potential algorithm updates in July.
Webmasters were reporting issues with Bing Webmaster Tools and Google Search Console reported a data anomaly in search analytics data.
We also say good bye (or good riddance depending on your point of view) to Adobe Flash, and more.
July Algorithm Changes
This months Google update thread on Webmaster World reported a number of possible updates, starting late June. Webmaster reported shifts in early July.
Some webmasters reported increases around June 25th
EditorialGuy: “We gained from the update (if it was an update), with a fairly significant jump in Google traffic on June 25, followed by day-over-day improvements during the rest of the week. Some of the gains appear to be sticking. It’ll be easier to tell next week when the effects of the July 4 holiday in the U.S. are over.”
Other webmasters reported a drop around July 10th.
Ionguy reported on July 3rd
“another drop in traffic since ‘not an update’ update
about 40% down; nice; may i keep my shoes guys?”
Barry Shwartz of Search Engine Roundtable also noted unusual activity,
“There are some early signs of a Google search algorithm update over the weekend, around Saturday and Sunday. The chatter is still very quiet but it was the weekend and that might kick up over the next day or so. Plus, pretty much all the tools are on fire, showing huge volatility around June 9th.”
Shwartz added that he attempted to analyze over 70 websites that may have been potentially affected but could find any meaningful patterns.
Increased Domain Crowding
Webmasters also noted increased domain crowding, multiple listings of a single domain, in results.
Samewest: “wow! is Pinterest the new flavor of the month? or is Google about to buy them? They now dominate every SERP in my niche. Page one is ads, ads, ads, pinterest, pinterest, pinterest, 1st organic well below the fold. With all due respect, anyone who contends there was no update recently is off their rocker.”
Google recinds confirmation of Fred Update? Hard to say.
A member shared a post that in a Webmaster Central Office Hours Hangout, John Mueller, denied that a Fred update occured after an abeit indirect conformation at a conference by Gary Illyres.
According to Mueller, “How did the Fred update impact the e-commerce websites? Why did so many e-commerce sites see a drop in ranking? What can we do to kind of recover that loss?
So from our point of view there was no Fred update.
This is a name that was given externally to a bunch of updates that we’ve been doing over time. So it’s not the case that there’s this one thing that is changing in search. We make changes in search all the time and we’re always working on trying to find ways to bring more relevant, more high-quality content to users, and that can be affecting a variety of websites. And variety of areas where we show content and search.”
From what was shared regarding Illyres statement, there was only an implied confirmation during an Ask Me Anything session at SMX. Attendees shared on twitter:
Google talked to the leads up Fred, and we decided to not talk about this update. said methode #smx

No More Pop-Up and Pop Under with Adsense – New Rule
In a recent announcement to simplify policies, Google stated that pop overs and pop unders were no longer permitted using AdSense. Ken b did note a non-trivial point by highlighting the aspect of the new policy that Google is passing the mandate for websites to also enforce this on ad networks and for affiliates.
Google Search Console Data Change
If you have seen a lower average position or increased impressions around July 13th or 14th in Google Search Console, it is possible that it may be due to a Data Anomaly reported in Google Search Console that changed values. Webmasters were pleased overall to have better data.
Bing Webmaster Tools Broken?
Shared on Threadwatch, was speculation that was shut down, since its returning a broken page. When we tested it on our end, it seemed to be working. Users also chimed in on the general usefulness of Bing Webmaster Tools, a couple years after it was made available. The over-arching sentiment seemed to be the interface is not the greatest but webmasters are grateful to have additional data.
RIP Adobe Flash
It was announced that Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla will stop supporting Flash in 2020. Member wiser3 commented that it may seem like a long time from not but it is recommended to apply necessary changes early, since browsers will stop supporting it prior to 2020.
Has Spammy Content From Others in Google Ruined a Webmaster’s Livelihood
As reported on Threadwatch, a Webmaster World member reported that they lost their livelihood after 15 years of investment in a web property
“I sit here right now having just told my child we are going to lose our house and we need to find homes for our pets. I fought so hard to keep going, it’s a good site, the content is great, but now 120 word articles outrank mine. My husband is yelling at me, my daughter has just run into her bedroom. This is how it is. My site is 15 years old, I always put the user first, and we are now facing bankruptcy. My whole family hates me for the failure of my site.
We’ve lost it all :(”
Members offered many kind words and some wisdom. I highlight just a few here
From member jori: “whatever you do from now on, don’t unplug your site. Maybe, just maybe, in a near future, Google put things back to “normal”.
It’s all a matter of “user satisfaction” and money earned by G. If user is not satisfied, and less money are earned, Google will change things.And for now, I don’t see how in the world users can get satisfied with current results, at least on my niche. Or how Google can earn more revenues this way. Let’s wait.”
SamWest Added, “ I feel your pain, however, my longtime saying is “enjoy it while it lasts, because it never lasts” It’s the same in the brick and mortar business and jobs world. Things change. The bottom line is that they moved your cheese. Giving in is not the solution. Waiting for the cheese to return is not the solution. Reinvention and realignment with the current trends may help.. After 17 years online, my six figure site has also died the same slow death (since 2010). I myself had to take a part time J.O.B. and I’m still barely able to keep above water.
Probably like you, my site looks fine in the SERPS, but nowhere near the user interaction as before. Is it by design or is it just that trends have changed? I suspect a little of both. I will say this, in my niche the current “flavor of the month” Pinterest crowding is really pushing a lot of valuable content down below the fold or to the page two graveyard, especially on long tail. I am wondering if this crowding is intended to push users to explore page two and beyond. If so, it’s not working.”
Google Pays Professors As Part Of Academic Influence Campaign
Found on Threadwatch was a discussion surrounding a story from the Wall Street Journal that Google is paying professors as part of an Academic Influence Campaign to get research created supporting various strategic public policy positions that favor Google.
