Report from the Trenches: For over fifteen years, we have been providing an ever increasing smorgasbord of internet marketing services. At first, clients had to “steal” funds from their traditional marketing budget to pay for online efforts. These days, the online marketing budget has become the major portion of the business building budget. Back then, the skeptics didn’t believe in the internet being a viable media. Today, most business owners believe an opportunity exists but who has the time to figure out what works and what doesn’t? The learning curve has increased every year exponentially too. Today, thankfully, we find business owners who have a general understanding of the job at hand on the world wide web. But the main driving fact remains; there is not enough time in the day to get it all done. After all, you still have to run your business like you used to… only now, there are enough time killers lurking about that there is just no way you can get it all done effectively and properly, yourself.

Blogging is Social Marketing’s First Step
Blogging is really not an option anymore. It is an essential part of the Holistic Internet Marketing pie. In my previous post, I gave you some elementary tips to blog correctly for SEO strategies. In this post, we will take one concept to the next level.
You don’t need to be engaged in Facebook or Twitter to blog. But if you are, the incentive to post a blog regularly is that it provides you with additional content to talk about on your social networks. Of course, the other side to this coin being, the sole intent of a business on a social network is to draw the viewer away from the social network community to the business owners’ own web site.
Spam I Am is Back!
Spam never left. It’s still here. It has become much harder to spam via email because the industry as well as you and I have put in a lot of safeguards. Life is much better on the email front these days to be sure. But that doesn’t mean the spammers quit. They have only moved on to greener pastures. Here is where we find weeds in our clients pastures to be exact: [Read more...]
Facebook Works! Real World Example
Facebook is roaring ahead with no let-up in sight.
If you doubt it’s potential you need not look any further than the recent developments in Egypt to feel its’ white-hot power.
But you are a business and business is tough. There aren’t enough hours in the day. Good employees are hard to come by. Taxes are too high and… hey, someone forgot to turn off the coffeepot again…ack!
It’s all true. In the real world you just don’t have time to take on another marketing task… or do you? You’ve now waited till all of the early adopters are in. How much longer can your business afford for you to decide to jump in?
Your Audience Is Your Priority
Most of our social media clients have been “all new” in the social media marketplace. Our services include both audience building and posting content. But lately, we have seen a number of clients who have had a go of it on their own but aren’t having much success. After all, it is a tough row to hoe when you have -0- followers. And it can be downright depressing, when after 3 months you only have a few more than that! It’s much easier and a lot more fun to find quirky bits and bytes of information to share. But that’s the rub. Who exactly are you sharing this info with? Is this the best use of your time?
