3 words and 1 New year

2012–time flies doesn’t it?

I think this year I am going to go a different route as far as new years resolutions go. One of the people I follow in the marketing and business niches (Chris Brogan) has a great little thing about picking 3 words for the year that, as he says ,will help you define your goals and experiences for the coming year. You can read more about this @ http://www.chrisbrogan.com/3words2012/

So with that in mind here are my three words . . . → Read More: 3 words and 1 New year

An Ability Test – Open To Anyone

The post above on the RRW forum  is responsible for the creation of this newest category– 1,000 in a Month. The gist of the contest is to earn 1,000 by Sept 26. Over the course of the next month I will be posting updates about how I plan on making this money.  Wednesday I will have a video up explaining what I plan on doing to reach the 1,000 goal so . . . → Read More: 1,000 in a month.

Blog Content Organization

I’m starting to notice that my 3 main blogs are starting to blend together and each blog is losing its content focus. Since the content I write is mainly focused on online marketing, I feel that what I post on one blog can easily fit in on the other two. The problem is that shouldn’t be the case. Each blog has its own purpose, yet when it comes to blog content they all seem to run together.

Not only is our company going to begin selling our services to local businesses, but we are also going to be setting up a membership site.

Continued updates

Our main site continues to get updated with more buttons and less clutter. We have removed the sidebar completely and converted the information that was there into new buttons to keep the new look streamlined. Since more and more people are getting used to the icon layout with devices like the ipad and smart-phones we though we would follow suit and see how having buttons instead of text would affect our blog.

One of the buttons teases a new product coming soon. . . . → Read More: Continued updates

Site updates

We have been working on a few important site updates for the various different sites we have. For our main business site we have went with a different design that focuses on the services and products that we offer. I am still trying to decide if I will have blog posts on the company site. As it stands right now I do have the posts as the home page, but that may change.

We have also been looking at our business marketing . . . → Read More: Site updates

Local search marketing

I’m very excited today and the reason is Local Search Marketing. I feel that now is the time for local businesses to really focus on their local customers and local search marketing can help local businesses do just that.

In the local business market half of the battle is just letting people know that your business actually exists. Many businesses do not have the marketing budget needed to have a an all out media blitz. When businesses do have a budget they . . . → Read More: Local search marketing

BMC HQ- Niche Site Duel Post 3

Thought I would write a quick post about BMC HQ and just talk about a few things that have been going on. There are a couple of things that have gotten me pretty excited about the whole experience. One thing is that an actual author that knows marketing mentioned our review of his book on twitter. I can’t wait to see how that affects the traffic. The mention caught me a little off guard since I didn’t think anyone would see . . . → Read More: BMC HQ- Niche Site Duel Post 3

BMC HQ- Niche Site Duel Post 2

I’ve been hard at work trying to follow Pat Flynn’s advice on backlinks. Here are a couple of the things I have done so far:

Articles
I wrote an original article for my new blog covering business marketing consulting titled Business Marketing Must Haves. I then used a tool called The Best Spinner to take my original article and “spin” it to produce variations of the article. The Best Spinner software was really easy to use and in no time I had enough . . . → Read More: BMC HQ- Niche Site Duel Post 2
