Create and Innovate

It’s no secret that social media is here to stay. With it’s power to reach millions of customers, it’s a valuable and essential strategy tool that a business cannot do without. Having said that, competition may be a lot tougher than ever before, and a lot of marketers feel the need to make a harder effort to reach out to potential clients. So what can we do? Is there such a thing as trying too hard? O making them feel overwhelmed with all the information and content that we publish?

Providing content through social media is so easy with the touch of your fingertips, but giving value to your clients is another thing. You can revisit your old content and make any essential changes. Tap into other social media channels that you haven’t explored yet and see what you can offer to them. Give out something that is informative and have fun while you’re at it! Think of ways to solve common problems or issues in the industry. Try to be creative and you’ll get to know your talents and hone your skills in the process!

It Must Be Someone’s Absolute Favorite

If you’re going to make content of any kind, it has to be somebody’s absolute favorite thing of that type in the world.

The problem with most social and search content is that it tries to please too many people.

We all tell ourselves the same lie.

“The reason nobody pays attention to me on social media is that they just don’t have time.”

This is not true. It’s not about time.

When you provide somebody what they want, in the format they prefer, and give it to them when they need it, the time necessary to consume that thing magically appears.

Relevancy creates time and creates attention.

Fifteen Years Is a Long Time in SEO

While that slide was a bit tongue-in-cheek, I do think that there’s something to thinking about the eras like:

Build websites: Do you have a website? Would you like a website? It’s hard to believe now, but in the early days of the web, a lot of folks needed to be persuaded to get their business online at all.
Keywords: Basic information retrieval became adversarial information retrieval as webmasters realized that they could game the system with keyword stuffing, hidden text, and more.

Desktop, Mobile, or Voice? (D) All of the Above — Best of Whiteboard Friday

There was a study Google did called The Multiscreen World, and this was almost six years ago, 2012. They found six years ago that 65% of searchers started a search on their smartphones. Two-thirds of searchers started on smartphones six years ago. Sixty percent of those searches were continued on a desktop or laptop. Again, this has been six years, so we know the adoption rate of mobile has increased. So these are not people who only use desktop or who only use mobile. These are people on a journey of search that move between devices, and I think in the real world it looks more something like this right now.
