Linkedin Marketing

Image
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.

Are you a soldier or a general ?

What have I learnt from the last three years? It sells a business and becomes part of a business with over one thousand employees with its headquarters and owners based in Mid West America. I was having worked for nearly 20 years. To say it was a shock to the system working for someone else is not an understatement. I went into it with my eyes wide open and the mentality that I wanted it to work. Having read some of the reviews of the business and the culture filled me with even more trepidation. The day you sell your business is not what I thought it was going to be. I felt regret and anti-climax. I built it up with my wife over year's and speaking to her; she felt the same emotions. I was the one in the future taking it forward.  What was the fundamental difference between being in a small company to going working in one much larger? The first thing I will say is that the processes were the same. The main difference was the outlook of the employees. There is an obsession in the c
