Small Business? Check Your Marketing Against This...

Great book!
"Many great tips and tools for motivating employees and teams. Nice that it's a quick-book and I didn't have to read a 300 pages of fluff to get the information. Well written by an obvious expert."



Marketing a business is and isn't much different than it used to be (how's that for commitment?)

First: How it is the same:

-You still have to get it out there and create trust
-You still need to let people know what you're all about and how they can get it
-You still have to spend money -sometimes- to get your business some exposure

Here's how it's changed:

-Getting it out there is more about connecting than advertising
-Social media has changed the game -somewhat-
-The internet has changed the game HUGE

I visit lots of sites (and even brick and mortar businesses) that just don't seem to get it. They think plastering a Facebook logo on their site or commercial is all there is to it. Who cares?


--Are you giving me a reason to go to Facebook (or any other social site) to visit you?
--Are you giving me any reason to take it to the next level in our "relationship"?
--Do you have a static site with boring stuff that's all about you?
--Are you still wasting money on ads that are all about you?

Here's the deal: All about you? We really don't care. Sorry, but it's true. I don't think it's different now than it ever was, but especially now. Give us a reason to be interested. Tell us something. Make us want to connect.

Check Yourself:
I see real estate agent ads all the time: I'm the greatest, I work hard for you, I sell condos...do I really care? No. What I care about is who is tuned in to the current market and who can give me info that is useful.

For example, there is a condo specialist in downtown San Diego. He has a site that compares the properties against each other (good and bad). This is immensely helpful to a newbie to the area looking for a downtown property.  He doesn't preach about himself; he make the info easy to understand and access and believe me, he gets lots of traffic because of it.

He is giving me a reason to 1. care, 2. trust and 3. acknowledge him as the local expert.

Take a moment and review your own marketing in contrast to see if you're doing all you can to bring in the traffic!

Everything You Should Know Publishing Package for Wanna Be Top Selling Authors

I got the package and I'm making my way through the videos. My thoughts thus far: 1. Lots of info! I got the Platinum package and so far I'm impressed with the amount of info. 2. As usual, there's sales info for other packages, but so far I've gotten a good amount just from this without buying more (which I'm not apt to do.) 3. Seriously, Mike Koenigs...don't give advice on dressing right now. Your way-too-big blue shirt didn't make you look like a pro; it just made you look silly. If this is the strategy behind "dressing for the everyman" that you take, it seems really, really dumbed down. I think we can all handle you in a well-fitting shirt. (See video #2 for this.) 4. On a good note, Mike: You're a good speaker and easy to listen to. I like the message. Goes double for Arielle. Wish I could still hire Arielle Ford as publicist (could I even afford her?). She knows the biz. Unfortunately (see previous posting), the biz changed...
