How can you convince an SEO writing prospect that you can help her land the search positions (and conversions) she wants?
Well, it depends…
I received a great question from one of my newsletter subscribers (thanks, Steve!). Here’s a quick excerpt:
“I usually ask a prospective client ‘do you have a website?’ If the answer is yes, I then […]
Yup, I’m back! I spent my digital detox rafting down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. For almost three weeks, I lifted heavy gear bags up steep, sandy hills, hung on through the cold, wet rapids, and found sand everywhere.
It. Was. So. Peaceful.
And then, I came home.
Hitting reality full-speed was hard. Sure, re-entry is always…challenging. But, I […]
Here’s a question…
What’s the ONE content marketing tactic that drives the majority of your revenue?
Is it blogging?
Webinars?
Teaching small classes?
Or, is your answer, “Hmm, I’m not quite sure, but does it really matter? After all, shouldn’t all my content efforts help?”
Well yes…and no.
Because, without knowing your one content marketing thing, you’re putting your revenue at risk.
Here’s […]
I thought about making this the shortest blog post ever by answering the subject line question with a single sentence.
“No, SEO writing is NOT dead — despite what you may have read.”
</end blog post>
But instead, let’s break down how this zombie myth happened.
At least once a year, somebody comes out with an article proclaiming the “death […]
Have you ever clicked a link that took you to a big “404 Page Not Found” or “Error 404” page?
Isn’t that annoying?
What the error means is exactly what it sounds like — the page is no longer there. Maybe because a link changed. Or, the page was deleted because the site owner thought it was “thin […]
One of my father’s favorite things to say was, “Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn’t mean you have to do it too.”
As you may imagine, his wise words had zero impact when I was a teenager. I probably rolled my eyes and replied with something snarky. After all, doing what the cool kids did […]
So, did you hear the news?
Google is shutting down the consumer version of Google+. Just like they did with Google’s other social network, Orkut.
Remember Orkut? I didn’t think so. :)
I can’t say that I’m surprised to hear the Google+ news. Neither is anyone else. Here’s some more information about the shutdown and the security breach. Joy.
Google+ went from […]
Have you heard of the KonMari method?
In a nutshell, the idea is to go through all your belongings and to ask yourself, “Does this spark joy?” If the answer is yes, you keep it. If not, you thank the item and get rid of it.
I’m asking you to KonMari your content — with a twist […]
Do you know what drives me nuts?
Reading about outdated or incorrect SEO tactics.
Like a virus, these bad tactics get passed around from person to person. One company I worked with had an old “SEO copywriting 101” Powerpoint that hadn’t been updated in seven years. Another company read a “hot tip” in a forum and didn’t know that it was […]
Right now, a lot of people are afraid.
Maybe even you.
They look at the news and at past economic cycles and say, “See, a recession will happen any day now. What will happen to my job/business/livelihood when it does?”
Scary stuff.
I get it. I do. For many people (including me,) the last recession was devastating. Sure, many […]
