Kick Boring To The Curb!


You have enough to worry about with growing and structuring your business than to have to spend hours doing the same tasks over and over again just to maintain a marketing presence.
Achieving the promotion goals you set for your business is attainable but any great plan needs time, patience and a daily grind.  There are so many tasks that need to be handled just to merely keep alive online.  Should you really be spending large chunks of your day away from your family or neglecting your business.  NOPE.
If you want to save your time and sanity, then automate those tasks.  There are oodles of free and paid automation software out there that act like virtual assistants.  They can take care of the most irritating or boring items so you don’t have to.  There are general programs that cover marketing or you can get down to brass tacks and find software that covers individual areas like a BOSS.
For instance, Google Analytics can track revenue, conversion and traffic flow, but MailChimp and Constant Contact specialize in email marketing and Hootsuite and SproutSocial focus on social media marketing.  Granted, you have to give these programs the content and structure from which to follow but they can take the simplest tasks, such as pushing the content out to various platforms, so you don’t manually have to do it.
There are dozens of viable programs for nearly every area of marketing and all range in pricing and features.  You will need to figure out what works best for your budget, your campaign goals and ease of overall use.
If it seems like a massive juggling act to have so many different types of software, you could even hire a virtual assistant to handle daily tasks.  Much like automation software, the price and quality of every virtual assistant will be different and it may take you several turns to find the best one for you and your company.  They can even handle your automated programs for you.
Does it still seem like a jumble to have that many balls in the air?
That’s where a digital marketing agency comes into play.  They already have professional software and skilled professionals who handle these tasks on a daily basis.  These are experienced marketers, authors, content creators and visual artists who take pride in their work.  Unlike a virtual assistant, you know that you are paying for quality and those who strive to represent your brand in the best light possible.
No matter what direction you choose to go in, the important takeaway is that you automate boring, menial tasks each and every day.  Your time is precious and your business needs you more than the daily grind of marketing.  It can be overwhelming to have two full-time jobs so make things as easy as possible and automate all boring tasks.  Freedom is Priceless.

If you find yourself a little short on the time needed to launch a full scale marketing plan or feel like you might be missing something, give us a call and find out how we can help.

You have probably heard that your money is in your list.  This is true. Email marketing is a powerful advertising tool and a great way to reach and engage consumers or potential consumers.  You can provide them with great content, tips, coupons and company announcements while occasionally pitching products or announcing new releases.  A loyal and properly engaged email marketing list tend to follow call-to-actions more often than not.  So, yes, there can be substantial money made from your email marketing list. The reasons a person may not sign up for email lists are numerous.  They could be overwhelmed by similar emails, not all that interested in your product or company, not finding value in the information you provide or you are too light on great content and too heavy on selling.  While many variations of these could occur, another reason they may not join your list is simply because you ask too much of them. Yep.  You might just be asking for too much informati

All About Value

“Content marketing is really like a first date.  If all you do is talk about yourself, there won’t be a second date.” – David Beebe When you produce content, it should be a genuine work that gives information, answers questions or solves problems.  The point to each piece of content should be solving a problem for your consumer or somehow, someway making their lives a little easier.  If your focus behind making content is simply to snare more consumers, you will achieve the opposite of what you intend. It’s similar to that movie “All About Eve” starring the late, great Bette Davis.  When everyone found out Eve had ulterior motives and was playing on everyone’s emotions just to get ahead, she was left utterly alone with her fledgling success and began to crumble.  If you produce content simply to boost your sales or increase your followers, consumers will smell it from a mile away and abandon you.  Any content that comes from you or your company must be genui
