SEO & above

People come to me for strategies regarding Search Engine Optimization (SEO). What I try to make them realize that almost always there is more than one possible path. Online: Sure, SEO is great. But you may want to consider PPC Marketing (Google AdWords, Facebook Ads). You may consider hiring a copywriter (freelancer?) to write articles for your blog. You may want to have social media strategy. There is also an option of using public relations as a promotion method. Offline: But you can go offline, also. Telemarketing (calling past clients, for example). Billboards placed closed to where your business is. Flyers. Mail marketing (yes, the classic one). TV, radio and newspaper ads. Networking with the right people. Organizing events with your clients and partners. Doing training for your staff. My point is: SEO is a great tool, but you should consider a strategy, as a whole. You can work on different things, which bring different results. SEO should be part of a bigger picture. SEO is not the path, but one path.

The wrong perception on Internet marketing. And the right one

There are two perceptions on what Internet marketing is: A guy in the middle of the street, with a big megaphone, yelling about your services. “Buy from us! We’re good! Buy from us! Expiring offer! Buy! Buy! Buy!”. Winner in this scenario is the guy who can yell loudest, to the largest number of people, with the least resources. By following this path, you can get easily into spamming. A guy in a closed building, talking with a normal voice about things. Persisting in this until he has a small audience. Inspiring that audience to believe that he actually knows what he talks about. Making those people want to tell others about the product/service. Creating fans & communities, by providing the desired quality of products & services. Making everybody feel good, and telling others. In other words, putting free megaphones in other people. Letting other people promote the brand. Unfortunately, a lot of times when people come to me for Internet marketing services, they expect me to have a big megaphone and to start yelling. They are, themselves, too embarrassed to yell by themselves, so they tend to give others the “chance” to speak. And when they to speak, not-so-great things happen. The other solution, creating content which is actually very good & inspiring, is hard. You have to come up with a good idea, work hard to make it polish, and create a community. Not so easy. It’s much easier to break the rules and start spamming.

Improve travelling

logo_transport_urban2Back in 2006-2007, I took some theater classes. One of the locations for the classes was far from city center. For a couple of months, I traveled by metro, then I had to switch two buses. During the end time of that period, I found out there is a tram which goes right from the front of my block to a place very close to the location.
