You can go into any business right now, and become your own lead generator! These are the necessary steps to out-compete anyone on and offline. By doing the right things listed below, and becoming THE MEDIA for your topic, you will need no other advertising:
Start a blog – but not just any blog..A blog is simply a modern website, that can be edited and updated at will by it’s owner. A “Free” blog on WordPress, Blogger or any public platform is a bedfellow with broken and unrelated content, rendering it impossible to achieve authority and rankings from such servers. WordPress is over half the web, and free – but you will need self hosted WordPress to get results – and a behemoth host like Bluehost or Hostgator or Godaddy will not work – this is why we recommend Mochahost.com, which includes CPanel at minimal cost. Industry specific blogging platforms like Activerain.com, are designed to promote AR, not the agents, causing their local pages to outrank agent websites even for proper name searches, bringing up instead a page populated by competitive peers a-z – not good.
Make it convert – Install Google Analytics to track everything. Do some test marketing by spreading your message around to some of these groups. when your “bounce rate” is down around 60%, you are ready to go to market. You can track visitors behavior to tweak your settings and message until it converts. Now you are ready to really market!
Optimize each post, each image, each video, each profile for search with a clickable telephone number: start good habits now, and watch as your reach, influence, link authority, and organic traffic grow with each well optimized post.
Create your social profiles, groups, and audience: at the very least, you need perfectly optimized profiles on Pinterest, Facebook, Linkedin, Google+ and Twitter. It is best that your visitors can join, give up an email address, login with any of the big four social networks, and add their friends and contacts; rate posts, etc.
Post at least weekly, new, unique in all the world, perfectly optimized, real content originating from and linked back to (with anchor text) your WordPress blog, and watch as your reach, influence, and traffic build with each post.
Are you ready to get started? Do you want to make some money?
Our Texas Bloggers and Agencies:
I have the power, the numbers, the rankings, the momentum, and the know-how…
If you are a professional in the industry, you pay attention to the specs only, and would never pay a retail price. Herein lies the “rub”: this information is now available to the world online, so where does this leave the bricks and mortar retailer?
In my vision of the future, it leaves them back on top!
I am here to tell you that the behemoth business model is outdated, inefficient, expensive, and not longer necessary. The layer after layer of middlemen, financiers, lawyers, accountants, bureaucrats and gatekeepers are not longer needed due to advances in technology, shipping, ordering, advertising, communication and media.
The actual truth is that the manufacturers provide very low cost goods with very high quality. The other layers are no longer needed. Just the manufacturers, and your LOCAL retailer, nobody else. JUST THE ONES WHO DO THE WORK.
All the millions spent on advertising, borrowing, financing, over-pay mandated by over-government, these are why the jobs are gone, and they are not coming back under this structure. I see a future that is simpler, more efficient, more pleasant, with independent and local business aided by the information age and cultural enlightenment, with the absence of the megalomania associated with and fueled by big money, big business, big labor, oligarchy, and elitism.
With all the information in the world, all the education in the world, and all the commerce in the world being more and more available to everyone in the world, on a flat playing field, the only change needed is for us to become disgusted enough with this over-hyped, overblown, inflated, over financed, micromanaged, over-branded, out of control mess so that we all just refuse to play anymore, for it is our mess, and we made it.
The education system is ridiculous, no longer needed, can all be accomplished independently online
Free flow of markets without the gatekeepers will feed us all nicely
We can all do business with each other independently
We all need food (healthy basic food – nothing fancy), shelter (healthy, efficient, green living, not empty mansions financed by imaginary money), entertainment (healthy, wholesome, intellectual entertainment – not the flashy, fleshy media that children are drawn to) and God (because without belief, there is no power, no enlightenment, no conscience, and no civilization).
We do not need middlemen, sooth-Sayers, junk science, oligarchs, elitists, Monday-morning quarterbacks, masters of the bluff, or masters of the proposition. Just good, honest, hard working, happy and productive humans, brothers and sisters, joined at the hip by our need for each other, and our healthy respect for each other. Amen.
