Editor's Notes

  • #2 Marketing is a feeder for your sales pipeline. If you market to the wrong audience then you’re wasting your money.Evaluate every marketing effort (website, social media, email marketing, phone calls, direct mail, networking, etc…) on its ability to impact sales using this formula
  • #3 SEO is so hard because it is a combination of technical and content. Generally those who get one side don’t get the other.Small business owners need to either know enough to do it themselves, or to be able to evaluate a professional.Always changing.Consult Google SEO Guide (free)Become a master, visit SEO/SEM MeetupTools: InBound Writer, SEO Yoast
  • #4 Lots of factors influence getting traffic to your site from Google. These are some of the things that you can do to build a continual flow of traffic.
  • #5 Email marketing is alive and well. Email still coverts at higher rates that most other media and measuring success is simpler.Trick to good email marketing: Not: what you want them to do What does the reader get out of this (even if it’s what you’re selling)Elements: Reader oriented, short, quote from someone else, actionable
  • #7 Biggest mistakes Paul has made(previous biz) Not networking enough(previous biz) Not joining a referral group(previous biz) Not doing email marketingNot starting Boss Rocket on a WordPress site
