What is SEO anyway? Why is SEO important?

SEO is a marketing discipline focused on growing visibility in organic (non-paid) search engine results. SEO encompasses both the technical and creative elements required to improve rankings, drive traffic, and increase awareness in search engines. There are many aspects to SEO, from the words on your page to the way other sites link to you on the web. Sometimes SEO is simply a matter of making sure your site is structured in a way that search engines understand.

Many experts say that they know SEO and they probably know that basics. But, without guidance from an actual software engineer with developer access to the major platforms, you can spend many years following “best practices” with little or no results and a lot of money down the drain.

How to use social media for sales without spending a bunch of money

In the early days of social marketing, there was little competition for the dollar. Today, there is tons. You can spend thousands of dollars on a Facebook ad campaign, for example, and get no return on your investment. Just like competing for space in the newspaper years ago, you are not competing for eyes on social media. And since social media by its very nature is a "short attention span" media, it is 10 times harder to get their attention than it was with a newspaper ad. The ad headlines and copy are harder to write on Twitter or Instagram than in print.

Having an account with social media does not make you "into" social media any more than owning golf clubs makes you ready for the PGA tour. In fact, social media users are turned off by the business who opens accounts and does not engage and therefore becomes labeled as a pretender. The truth is, it is better to not have a social media icon on your website if you are not going to actively engage it.

Learn all the aspects of turning your social media account into a tool that engages your audience and produces customers ready to buy your products or services.

Planning for automation and AI for your new business

Manual tasks take time. They must be performed linearly by humans who are prone to errors and who are unable to consistently perform to the highest standards.

Automation reduces the number of tasks you and your employees would otherwise need to do manually. This frees up your time to work on items that add genuine value to the business, allowing you to be more innovative and increasing your employees’ levels of motivation.

Automation also allows you to get more done in the same amount of time, greatly increasing productivity.
