Okay for those movers, shakers & rule breakers…I am setting up my new SEO website here.

Did you know;

  80% of consumers research online before buying offline?

  70% of people searching Google never click past the first 3 links?

  60% of all traffic on the internet is now video?

  YouTube is the #1 search engine?

7 Downsides To Traditional Advertising

  Expensive

  When was the last time you used the Yellow Pages?

  Hard to track metrics

  Longer turnaround times

  Print errors

  Disconnect from your clients

You can’t build a relationship

For a Successful Online Business I need;

  Brand Recognition

  Lead Generation

  Fans

Why Brand Recognition?

  People buy from companies they know!

  When you become the most recognized brand in your industry you become the default “go-to” company.

  Buyers are more informed than ever!

  It is essential to be known as the industry leader. How do you get there? By giving away as much free, valuable information as you can.

  People buy from companies they trust!

  By being an industry expert and providing all the information you are the one they go to when they have questions, concerns or need services from.

Why Lead Generation?

  Lead generation is the backbone to any business.

  Every company needs leads.

  Cold calling doesn’t work.

  Gone are the days when cold calling worked. Buyers are aware when you’re trying to sell them something and are even more guarded than ever. We need a new way to contact clients.

  Offline lead generation can be difficult to track.

  Unless everything is recorded and input into a sales funnel you don’t have a full picture of how your sales team is doing. What if there was a way to automate this and record all your metrics?

Why Do We Need Fans?

  Fans make you famous!

  Find your perfect customer. Find out exactly what he wants. Give it to him.

  Always over-deliver

  Be different, stand out. Be the company that cares.

  Making sure your product works is the best form of marketing.

Video Marketing

Video Marketing is by far the easiest and most effective way to brand yourself as an expert. If you want to create trust, credibility and build traffic all at the same time, video marketing is the smartest and most effective strategy you can use.

Video Distribution

Distribute your videos to top video sharing sites like Youtube, Metacafe, Daily Motion, Yahoo Videos, Veoh etc. This gives is credibility and makes us look like the dominant force in your industry.

Podcasts

We can convert our videos to audio so they can be listed to on an iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, in their car or simply on a computer. We want to deliever our messages when the potential customer is ready to listen.

Podcast Distributions

By submitting our podcasts to the most influential and greatest number of podcast search engines and directories, we make it easy for people to find our message and this gives us greater visibility for our content.

Article Marketing

Content makes a website successful. Article marketing helps build credibility and a great reputation. Article marketing is a great SEO tool because articles appeal to a lot of people who still prefer to read more than any other learning style. Quality and relevant articles are still the most preferred sources of information by many people who surf the internet. If people find the quality of your articles to be good, they are more likely to follow that link to your website.

Article Distributions

The distribution of articles can literally make you an overnight success. By distributing your article to top article directories we get more views and in turn move up in the Google rankings.

Facebook Fan Page

It is important to create and establish a Facebook Page. The biggest distinction between a personal profile, group, and page is that the only one viewable to the public and indexed by search engines is a Facebook Page.

Twitter Followers

Twitter is an excellent source of free traffic.

Feeder Sites

Feeder sites are pages created with blogs or hub pages that will allow you to create very good quality back links to our main website. By building feeder sites that stand out we bring more prospects to our main website.

E-Book Creation

In addition to me having custom videos, podcasts, articles and websites created, our content can be turned into a E-Book to give away to our potential clients at no charge.

E-Mail List Creation

Everybody knows how difficult it is to build an opt-in email list these days. We need to formulate a system that will safely allow us to build responsive list that will continually buy our products.

Blog Creation

A custom blog for our business, not only acts as a direct line of communication with our clients, but also a major marketing strategy that ensures that we remain at the top of the search engine results.

Backlinking

Backlinking is the process of creating links to our website. Each link means that someone is trying to inform others about some interesting page they have found.

Therefore, the number of links pointing to our site is a measure of popularity and reputation of the page. The number and quality of backlinks is the basis of the PageRank algorithm used by Googleʼs web search. Backlinking is very popular and the main reason for this popularity is the fact that it returns relevant results for every possible search phrase, brings you more clients and more sales.

Press Release

It is not surprising that marketing experts recommend using press releases for generating targeted traffic to websites. This strategy has become increasingly popular.

However, press releases are not only great for marketing but also create an excellent opportunity for attracting incoming links, which are essential for SEO.

Dedicated SEO Expert

Hiring Dedicated SEO experts is the greatest choice for a complete SEO solution. You
can acquire the additional improvement of a more concentrated, stronger approach and
cut costs. With dedicated SEO experts you get significantly improved engine rankings.

We will hire, monitor and train an SEO expert specifically for our products or services.
You will be able to contact him or her directly and will essentially be an off-site employee without having to deal with payroll, taxes or HR: the perfect solution.

Split-testing Option

Although we can’t ever predict for certain what will work best, we can get better at predicting what will work in the future. In most cases that’s because split testing and careful tracking and recording has given us loads of examples to learn from. Split-testing is the fastest way to increase your conversion rate and lower your cost-per-action, which increases profitability.

Monthly Reporting

In order to track all the new traffic from our marketing campaign we will be generating a detailed month end report analyzing which methods are the most efficient, where your visitors are coming from, what they like the most and how we can tweak & improve for the next month!

When it comes to building and designing websites we have to be flexible and able to work with just about every type of art out there. But out of all the different types of art none are funnier to work with then character designs.

Below are some really cool character designs by Salvador Ramirez Madriz also known as Reevolver is an conceptual artist and illustrator from Mexico, he has an amazing style especially with character design.

It’s 2:00 am and I just can’t seem to get any sleep, I’ve been lying in the bed, staring at the dark for the last 4 or 5 hours.

It seems on the nights I can’t make myself get any sleep I do some of my best and craziest thinking.

Here, let me explain.

I’ve got a web design business that was voted one of the top ten web design businesses in the world.

But over the years I’ve learned to really hate the web design business. I’m always trying to find talented designers and programmers as well as having to deal with clients that can sometimes make you feel like pulling your hair out. I’ve reached the point that most emails from new potential clients are ignored and when the web design phone rings I hate having to answer it. And I am normally the type of person that loves dealing with and helping people. But with the web designer business there always seems to be some type of problem I have to deal with.

But maybe the problem is my dislike for the business; maybe my dislike for the business has caused the business to dislike me. I believe everything in the world has some type of energy that it receives from the people around it. By me giving my business negative energy over the years it’s learned to return the favor by giving me negative energy.

To fix the problem with the web design business I first need to learn to love the business again. And it’s something I am going to start working on first thing tomorrow.

I just hung the phone up with a potential client. He said his current designer refused to find photos for his website. I’ve always felt like it was the web designer’s job to come up with what he felt would be the best looking photos for the website.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel the web designer should not only be able to come up with the photos but he should be able to manipulate them for the website if needed. If the client has photos he wants to use then that’s great but from my 9 years of experience in the web design industry it’s just not always the case.

Some people believe that ideas just happen however, I don’t believe they happen by accident.

And great ideas don’t always lead to success. It doesn’t matter if you have the perfect solution for an everyday problem or a bold new concept for a creative masterpiece; you must transform your vision into reality.

The ability to put it all together can be learned and developed by anyone. You just have to modify your organizational habits, engage a broader community, and develop your leadership capability. When it comes to designing websites and marketing online one has to learn all of the above.

One of the things I do every morning is to look for things to inspire me, below are some of the things I found today.
