Re: 5 Keys to Adopting Marketing Automation

SunCity Advising — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 17:20:35 -0000

Hi Megan, thanks for the article! We are a firm that has been focusing on organic SEO for the last couple of years. We have been helping clients automate for quite some time but are now interested in automating our own Lead Gen.

You mentioned, "In-person events, online tools, webinars, and marketing partnerships can also be great ways to generate leads. All of these steps can be automated". We are currently developing a schedule for events and marketing partnerships between our clients. but, we are having a tough time figuring out how to automate these aspects. Can you recommend some tools or provide a bit more on those areas for us?

Thank you so much for the info!

Your focus on SEO is an important topic that many small businesses are and have been overlooking - it's complicated, overwhelming and now requires more expertise to master. Your book is a great resource guide for the journey. thanks for the great article & content you and Phil are putting out.

Re: Typical Opt-in bribes are dead! Learn 2 Effective Ways to Skyrocket Your Email List

Shilpi Virtual Assistant — Sat, 05 Nov 2016 09:43:37 -0000

Great tips. They are very effective for building a strong email list. Content gating can be effective as long as the content is useful and informative. Otherwise, there is a chance that customers may skip your sites. title also plays an very important role in this.

Milan, it is challenging. But the good news is that every little bit counts! The content you create gets noticed by search engines and adds to the information you are putting out there to attract the right clients. It doesn't have to be "epic" or perfect to do its job.

Glad you enjoyed the podcast. Thanks for your comment!

I agree wtih Rubin. For some, morning is the best time to get things done and for others, night is the best time. But one habit has to work for everyone i.e avoiding procrastination(as I too suffer a bit from it :)). When this is taken care, every one would be happy!!

Yes, without SEO, a site cannot be listed out by search engines. But too much SEO fluffing also makes a site unworthy. Love point #3 especially.

One question I've always wondered about with marketing partners is whether it's better for partners to pay each other for referrals or simply exchange favors. Thoughts?

Re: The Mildly Inauthentic Nature of Social Media

Kevin Namaky — Sat, 29 Oct 2016 14:05:22 -0000

Totally agree, John. It seems social and digital media often brings out unempathetic behavior - from both people and brands. But if we keep in mind that we are all humans and, as you said, "honor the light in every other person," we'll all be better off.

Re: How to Master Content Marketing

Milan Adam — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:03:51 -0000

Ms. Wilson is absolutely right- if a customer/consumer cannot immediately rectify their situation through a couple searches, they lose interest in what is being offered and turn elsewhere. This can be incredibly challenging for businesses as keeping up with this demand requires very thorough information, and constant updating.

Using content marketing as a primary strategy, which is undoubtedly fundamental, may only appeal to a small percentage of clients, and may seem wasteful due to the amount of time needed to create full, thorough content, but for a select few that read all the way through and rely upon that information, it is an easy sell for sure!
