About Me

Image
About Me My first business contracted advertising sales in the publishing industry. I worked with some of the biggest publishers in the United Kingdom. I  developed this business into online media sales and website development in the early 2000s. We built it up to over 1500 clients and found a niche in the used trucks, machinery and Agri machinery industries. We sold websites and online marketing solutions within these industries. My wife and I sold the business in January 2019 to Sandhills Global. https://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/sandhills-east-acquires-web-management-consultants-ltd--824971108.html My wife exited the business to complete the deal, and I carried on and transitioned into Sales Director for Sandhills East and Sandhills Italy. For the last two years, I have been managing 80 people throughout Europe and Africa, working on websites and trade publications.

Google Ads

Advertising your business on Google may be one of the best decisions you ever make for your business and revolutionise the business you get. I have often had clients tell me that Google ads don\"t work for their type of business.  They need to reassess and think again. People use Google 3.5 billion times a day to search for products and services. Ads on Google lead to more sales, conversions, leads and awareness. There is not one business that can benefit from all these benefits. Google Ads allow you to advertise and promote your products and services when users search-relevant keywords. When you use an expert to set these ads up, you can significantly increase your website traffic and put yourself in front of buyers every day. It\"s common that when people are searching on Google, they rarely go below the first five search results. It\"s vitally important that you show up in the list of search queries at the top. I have often had clients say to me that they never click

Linkedin Marketing

If you're not promoting your business on  Linkedin, you're missing many opportunities. It now has over 700 million members listed on the site. At one point, it was just seen as a website for jobs. It has become so much more. Forty per cent of those users are accessing the website every single day. A lot of these people are decision-makers, and this makes it easier to target them. When setting yourself up on Linkedin, it's important to include a photo in your profile. Profiles with photos get significantly more views.  I often get clients saying that they don't see the value of adding content on Linkedin. In the United Kingdom, there are twenty-nine million profiles. There are also thousands of company profile pages. I built up a profile page with over twenty thousand followers for Web Management Consultants. It's a powerful marketing tool to promote your posts to thousands of relevant contacts. I always liked that my competitors didn't take the platform seriousl

How to choose a web developer.

  When I sold my first website in 2004, it was a completely different business landscape. I had no experience in technology, and at the time, I was selling advertising space. I remember thinking, "How difficult can it be?"  The learning curve was very steep, and I made many mistakes. Through those mistakes, I learnt a lot about business and the best way to set up a website for success. I can help you avoid the mistakes I made and point you in the right direction. Firstly it\"s important to choose the right agency. A lot of the companies out there like to overcomplicate the process with the use of jargon. You have to decide what you want the website to achieve for you. What are your business objectives? Is it e-commerce, lead generation, general information. This is important and can help in deciding what technology the site is built in. Do you want the ability to able to update the website yourself?  How much are they going to charge you? What is the timescale for the wo

Facebook Advertising.

Nearly everyone uses Facebook nowadays, which makes it a great place to promote your business. However, advertising on Facebook can be complex and time-consuming - and expensive if you don't know what you're doing. Unlike some other providers, a Facebook advertising campaign from me is not just built, but also fully managed and optimised by myself who has many years of experience of managing Facebook advertising campaigns.
