People can say whatever they want to say, they can hide behind as much science as they want, run as many numbers as they want, follow as many templates as they can find. At the end of the day, being successful online in a sustainable way means building an audience around you.
So how do you build an audience around you in a world where everyone is vying for attention?
I can sum that up for you in one word…
Impact.
It is the art of having a strong effect on someone or something.
Putting out content that impacts people in some way is often how you create separation and begin to build a strong audience around you.
So that begs to ask the question then, how can one create impact with a target audience?
Well, that’s what I hope to help you with in this new blog series called The Impact Bible.
Often it starts with simple ice breakers that wake people up and get them thinking. Many times the best way to do that is by asking a question.
Below are 303 questions that are proven to “break the ice” so to speak, get engagement and light up your comment section. Make sure your using this power for good not evil, and as always…
Go make some money!

Stay tuned…
I’m Kam and that’s all I got!
