Lets keep it interactive.
Outbound Marketing
Outbound marketing is
   pushing
your way in.
Cold Calling
Inbound marketing is
pulling
    people in.
Make marketing about
Outbound Marketing

   creativity not cash.


                vs.
inbound =
 content +
conversion
Where can you
“get found”?
The Next 50 Years
As ye SEO,
so shall ye reap.



 (SEO = Search Engine Optimization)
SEO = Context and Authority




  Ranking Algorithm:
 f(n): Context & Authority
Pick your
keywords
 wisely.
Make a list of
  relevant
 keywords.
To the victors go the spoils.
   First result page gets 95% of clicks
Don’t pick
a fight
with a
ninja.
(Unless you’re a ninja)
Use your
words!
The page title is
critical on-page
  SEO factor.
A page by any other name,
  may not rank as well…
To win at SEO, you
 need to get great
  inbound links.
“I tried to
buy
love….and
links.”
clicks > rankings
Guess what
profile you have
to use to get cool
listings?
“Wow. That seems
too big to ignore.”
The real reason
you can’t ignore
Google+
hint: it’s the characters before
the +
Your profile
picture should
build trust and
  credibility.
@cyrusshepard.
Coming up: The
best and shortest
SEO advice ever:
Make
humans happy,
not search
engines.
Create
useful content,
clean designs
and
fast websites.
Get lucky!
Get lucky!
Every now
and then,
try
something
crazy
Your content needs
  to take a stand.
Spreading great
content with social
media
Outbound Marketing




 Make it dead-simple
 to share your content.
Without followers,
social media is not
much fun.
Don’t try
and
automate
getting
fans.
Numbers
go up, but
brand
goes
down.
Even normal people
use twitter now.

Which inbound
marketing channel
works the best?

To win at
 inbound,
 create an
experience
people love.
I’m on the
interwebs.

Inbound Marketing
= depth of creativity
The power
   of the
  modest
 liquidity
   event.
You need to
start to find
a great idea.
You don’t
need a great
  idea to
   start.
Inbound Marketing:
Get Found using Google,
Social Media and Blogs

  Amazon Top 20
  Marketing Book
 (out of 240,000+)


InboundBook.com
You don’t need a VP of
Sales. You need sales.
Those who
make stuff
make their
destiny.
Customers
are in
control.
Yes, your idea
  probably
   stinks.

 Just start!
Challenge:
  Convince
really smart
people to do
 something
 irrational.
Culture sticks.
Now, lets talk about
marketing
44% of Direct Mail is
                         Never Looked At
