The key to success is introducing the team theme when attendees arrive and keeping it alive until the me…

What do these people you admire have in common? They say what they mean and mean what they say. Today’s blog will focus on the five elements of a person that walks the talk.

A blog consists of updated content about a specific topic.
A blog must be updated frequently - Start by writing one new blog post a week, and start in the middle of the week. If you can only write one post a week, publish it on Wednesday. If you can write two, publish them on Tuesday and Thursday. If you can publish three, publish them from Tuesday through Thursday.
It's about a specific topic; related to your busine…

Whether you are working from home, back in the office, or making a hybrid approach, you must keep your workspace clear – especially if it has a dual purpose (i.e., the dining room table).
As you look at the last four months of the year, you may be inclined to shake up your social media strategy, especially if things aren’t moving in an upward fashion.

I have to be brutally honest – I don’t get the appeal of Snapchat. But then again, I don’t belong in the generations they serve, primarily 18-32-year-olds (Gen Y) and 13-17-year-olds (Gen Z). However, after downloading the app and spending some serious time with it last weekend, I am starting to understand its appeal– especially for those trying to target the before mentioned generations in a new and exciting way.

Case in point: many companies are creating a new position called a Chief Digital Officer. However, they are not giving that person a budget or clear initiative about what they want from them. And we all know without a budget, the use of technology to cha…
Every client I have ever worked with hopes to land on page one for specific keywords.
That is my dream, too.
But here's the reality -- In the SEO world, you are only going to rank for short-term keywords (one-two words) if you have high domain authority (greater than 60) AND are willing to spend much money for blogging, case studies, and PPC.
Here lies the conundrum - most small business owners don't have high DA or large marketing budgets.
So what ar…
As the saying goes, "there are many ways to skin a cat," which appropriately applies to backlinks.
