Social Media and Email Marketing: Your Movie Trailer

I love movie trailers. I will seek out the trailer for movies I am interested in and take in about any trailer that comes across my path. I will actually get irritated if I am not in my seat at a theater when the trailers start. But why seek out or get irritated about missing

Social Media: Quality Over Quantity

Are you abusing your social profiles? A lot of trainers, consultants, and professional coaches don’t think they are but on analysis their profiles contain very little quality information. Rather it’s a long series of hastily crafted messages or reused content with little or no value add. Social media marketing isn’t about finding and posting anything

Article Schedule with Social/Email Integration

Many times with online marketing simply completing the tasks is the most difficult aspect of doing it. So why not kill a few birds with one stone? A blog’s posting schedule can be synced with email marketing and social media marketing programs to cover all the channels at once. The simplest way of doing this

Blog Custom Layout

Is your business the same as every other business? Every trainer, consultant, and professional coach I work with would suggest it isn’t. They work in specific geographies, on specific topics for specific industries. So your blog shouldn’t look just like other blogs. Customize your layout to sync your blog with your website, social media, and/or

When Scheduling Goes Bad

Having automated processes in place that allow you to pre-schedule email or social media messages are a great tool.

This is especially true if they see or hear an idea they like but don’t think through steps for executing and maintaining

Social Media Automation: Pro or Con?

At its best social media is an interactive tool for businesses to engage their clients and prospects in meaningful interaction. At its worst is regurgitated content filling a stream of SPAM. It would seem that automating social media would lean toward the latter rather than the former, right? It doesn’t have to be that way.

Email and Online Marketing: Create Genuine Urgency

Creating a sense of urgency is often noted as a best practice in marketing. We want prospects to take action on an offer now rather than filing it away for “later” and then forgetting about it. But urgency, like anything, can be abused. Many online marketers create arbitrary deadlines or dates to force urgency. Overusing

Content For Social Media

Once you have content for your email you’re at a jumping off point for your social media content. Many consultants, trainers, and professional coaches will copy their email content to their social media pages. That is a good strategy to save time and ensure that content is available to all your channels. However it’s not

When trainers, consultants, and professional coaches set up or maintain an online marketing campaign, prospects are typically the focus. This makes sense as marketing to prospects is the most direct way of generating new business.
