Restaurant Marketing Tip: Have an Online Menu!

I live in Tucson, Arizona, but it doesn't much matter...wherever I travel in the U.S., I usually end up wanting to order carry-out from a decent restaurant or do some online research about local eateries.

One thing I cannot for the life of me understand is WHY don't restaurants make it a point to not only have an online presence (it is 2011, after all), but also updated menus. So many don't (if you do, BRAVO). It's truthfully kind of pitiful and always makes me wonder how well managed the places are that don't. I've seen enough Gordon Ramsey restaurant makeovers to know what the kitchen and management might really be up to (scary!).

If you are running a restaurant, bistro, cafe, coffee house, pie shop, gastropub, etc., etc....please have a good online presence (it doesn't have to fancy or complicated, just easy to navigate and give peace of mind and informantion). Also, post your menus (updated, please) so if I call to order the Crispy Oven Baked Chicken you don't tell me "Oh that's from our winter menu and now it's April." Frustrating!

Having an online presence and menus are the minimum a restaurant needs to do nowadays. Even food truck can handle this, so established eateries, take note. If you can't do it, get someone who can. I will pay off...I guarantee it. (As long as you're doing your part and serving great food!)

The All Powerful PLATFORM for Non-Fiction Writers

Do you have a platform? If you don't know what this is, or don't have one, don't even think about writing your book. This is the advice from publishing big-wigs like Arielle Ford. Of course, this isn't new, but it's now the MUST HAVE marketing for nearly any non-fiction writer who truly desires to make any money with his/her book. As most books don't sell many copies, authors are to rely on back-end deals like speaking engagements and selling other programs to truly rake in the cash. As a writer, the problem exists: Most writers who truly write are not really going to want to get up and speak in front of crowds and hawk their wares (books), right? So how to overcome this? For my money, I'm guessing teleseminars and maybe video seminars could work. Also, developing programs that are pricer that you can upsell to readers who enjoy your topics. In other words, don't be complacent and think as an author you're just going to write books and make m...

Using Squidoo to Generate Traffic--Tips

  One of the best strategies for generating traffic from Squidoo is to:     Choose a topic carefully. You want your Squidoo lenses to be focused around a specific topic, rather than spread out to cover multiple niches.   Once you have traffic flowing into your Squidoo lenses, you can quickly expand your outreach by developing additional lenses on other topics.   Create 10-20 articles on your chosen topic, being careful not to keyword stuff! You want you incorporate relevant keywords into your content but you want to be careful that your material is comprehensive and won’t be penalized in the search engines or deemed inappropriate by Squidoo.   Create a Squidoo lens for each of your articles. Your articles should be between 500-800 words long. You can write one lengthy article per Squidoo lens and break it up into smaller segments, utilizing Squidoo’s option to incorporate content boxes within your lens. Include image...
