Self Promotion — It's OK to Sell Yourself

Wouldn't it be nice if effective small business marketing and self-promotion practices felt natural and authentic? If you truly care about your customers, self-promotion deserves your attention.

Many negative connotations typically come to mind when thinking about self-promotion, all of which keep many people from feeling comfortable and confident when talking about themselves. You’ve heard all the name-calling: conceited, show-off, braggart, arrogant, egotistical.

Time to Get Social

~~By John Focht

Today’s fast-paced, technological world requires more in developing a solid business plan than ever before.  Twenty years ago, a website was a non-existent factor in developing a marketing plan for your small business.  Ten years ago, your marketing plan required you to have a website to ensure you had a web presence for your small business.  Today, if you are merely planning on a website as stating you have a web presence, your marketing plan is as effective as a twenty year old marketing plan that had no website at all.

By John Focht

Drive Web Traffic to Your Website

By John Focht

Your website is created!  Looks great!  Now what?  Too often when a small-sized company or an individual creates a website for their business, they get caught up in the moment of having a great looking website.  But if no one is finding or visiting your website, what good is it?

Some websites fail in that a lot was put into the designing and planning of the look and feel of the site, but no planning was developed into getting traffic created for the website.

Do you think an SEO Strategy should be developed while in the technocal development phase of your website?

Now that you’ve got a great looking website, how do you go about driving new traffic to it? After all, it doesn’t matter what your website looks like if no one knows how to find you. Often times, driving web traffic to a website is overlooked in the planning and developing of a new site. Website traffic is a pivotal piece to your website.  Should you be creating an SEO strategy along with the technical development of your website?
