No Longer Can A Business Run Without A Website

March 10th, 2009

I am ready for the onslaught of examples that I am sure people are going to be throwing in my face; I’m ready for it and I still won’t agree! I do say this with all sincerity though; if you are an offline business-owner and don’t have a website, you are not only missing the boat, but could be sinking it! In today’s economy every customer counts. You want to make sure and do everything to keep current customers and find new ones.

If You're Competent, The Referrals Will Flow

March 9th, 2009

This post was inspired while eating lunch with a few of my new Arizona Internet marketing friends last week.   I thank them for opening up and sharing things, and really making it an enjoyable lunch.  I decided to do a post specifically because of comments made by  Chris Hooley and David Wallace about referrals.  We were all talking about how powerful referrals are, and how most of our business comes from referrals because of our ability to come through for people and provide them the results they want.  It was a great conversation that lasted for hours, but it got me thinking.

SEO Customer Service: Don't Forget About the Little Fish While Trying to Catch the Big One

January 27th, 2009
The Biggest Catch of the Day

The Biggest Catch of the Day

This most recent weekend I had the chance to go ice fishing with a group of friends.  We went to Fish Lake in Central Utah and it was great experience, considering it was my first time out on the ice.  I have been fishing on many occasions in the past, as it has been a hobby of mine since I was young, but have never been ice fishing.  While reeling in the biggest catch of the day (as you can see from the picture the fishing this round wasn’t great), I started thinking that often times business owners are looking to catch the big one, but in the process forget the many existing clients that have kept them going back to the lakes, and often times kept “food on the table”.  I thought about this on several occasions throughout the morning, and on the drive home, and it has inspired me to post today on what SEOs need to do to provide good customer service to their clients, thus keeping them as clients.

Offline Businesses Crave Online Knowledge

January 13th, 2009

I had an unfortunate experience yesterday when I had to take my 2 year old to the Urgent care to get his head stitched up from splitting it open because of a desk.  He is ok now, but he didn’t appreciate us all poking and prodding at him.  He’s a boy and things like this happen I guess.  (It’s the reason I have Aflac accident – its not a matter of if, but when it happens).

5 Ways To Keep Your Business Poor

I have had this post written for a while now, but was waiting for the best opportunity to share it.  It seems with all that has gone on the last several months with the economy, I have not felt right about posting.  With that said, I don’t think there is ever a right time.  However; Now that the New Year is here, and we have new resolutions, I thought I would be more appropriate to share.  I see so many businesses, and people around me (including family and friends) making poor choices when it comes to money, and they never seem to be able to dig our of the bad spot they are in – so maybe they will give an ear to this advice?  Either way, this has been on my mind for several months now, and I wanted to post about this topic – so here goes:
