How To Successfully Integrate WordPress With ZohoCRM in 2022Lior has been in business since he was 10 years old. He began by purchasing bagels on the street and selling them to bankers a few doors down for double the price. In doing so, Lior learned from his mistakes and paved his way to a winning record in the business world. Much of this occurred on the internet; over many years, he developed web design, development, marketing, and security companies, all of which were successful despite being part of a growing and highly competitive market. Some of his ventures were sold to larger companies, while others, I am proud to say, are still making me money today.   Main Questions For Interview #1 -Lior, can you tell us about your background and how you got into Zoho and became the head of a specialized Zoho consultation agency? #2 - Can you give us some insights on a couple of the most significant early challenges you initially faced with business and how you have semi-overcome these particular challenges? #3 - Based on your experience, can you give us some insights on what you see as the real opportunities, if any, are there connected to ZohoCRM working with the WordPress platform? #4 - Can you draw us a picture of where Zoho's range of apps is, and what are some of the leading ones that get you most excited in 2022? #5 - If you go back to a time machine at the beginning of your career, what advice would you give yourself? #6 - Are there any books, websites, or online recourses that have helped you in your own business development that you like to share with the audience? https://www.amazingbusinessresults.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lior-izik/

#733: WP-Tonic This Week in WordPress & SaaS Special Guest Andrew, CEO of Lasso & "Listen to Money Matters" Podcast Lasso - We Discuss Affiliate Marketing Tools Aimed At Bloggers. Affiliate marketing is easy to start but hard to master. Finding the right software to manage all of your essential links was challenging because it didn’t exist. We get it. And it’s the reason we built Lasso. Andrew and Laura Fiebert, co-founders of Lasso, have large affiliate sites. In 2020 their sites reached over 11 million people. They struggled to manage all of the affiliate links on their sites with existing plugins. After trying every affiliate marketing tool under the sun, they found there was no single tool that would fully control their affiliate link inventory end to end. They wanted something that could do everything. Something that even the big players would dream of having. Something that didn’t only work with Amazon. Their two main sites are very different. Laura’s site relies mainly on Amazon affiliate links, while Andrew’s has a mix of all types of affiliate programs. This was a unique challenge trying to build a plugin that would work for both. But in the process, they invented Lasso, which would solve all their needs. Plus a few more they didn’t even anticipate. Lasso is an affiliate marketer’s dream plugin. That was the goal, and that’s what they built. But it required a team. https://getlasso.co/about/ Listen to Money Matters Podcast - https://www.listenmoneymatters.com/
