this makes it seem like it works with galaxy S7, but it does not appear to work with the S7.

Re: Top 10 Tips for SEO Survival in 2015

Decent list but how can you say that about G+???? Seriously, it is basically dead from Google's standpoint. And at the time I am posting this comment your article has 2300 Facebook Likes, 32 Twitter shares and 22 +'s for G+. I think it is fine to keep posting content to G+ because it may help those who are connected to you find your stuff easier. But as a actual way to improve your overall ranking of your keywords...not a factor.

Looks like they are using yourmembership.com now. Been a while since I looked at them but they would be a pretty good step up in price. They will build out your website on their platform as part of the setup to make sure everything is how it needs to be. Certainly a viable option. It is all about the right solution that solves the problem. Each organizations needs are different.

Bill, would love to know if you are still using WA or not and if you need any help with it or recommendations that might work better for your group.

Digital Marketing Dude — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 10:14:35 -0000

not sure they are up and coming just yet. From my quick look at them it is still in a "beta" mode in my opinion. They are positioning themselves to compete with WA but have a ways to go.

The web side of WA has had it's challenges for sure. I used it with an existing website to make sure I had everything I needed. They are launching their latest release right now and will have to see how that looks. It looks like they are making improvements on it. There are other association management software platforms out there. It has been a few years since I looked at it. The options were more expensive and the ramp up time to get them setup was a challenge as well.

The key is to figure out what you really need and make sure that the tool you are using is going to deliver on that. If I can help in some way let me know.

Software launched in 2006, they have more than 6,000 paid customers (they have a free version as well).

I think SilkStart is free right now.

I did a quick look at silkstart. It looks like it is actually free at this point. They do tout themselves as association membership SaaS. From the look though I think they are very much in beta mode. Not really a complete system yet. WA has a free version and lower price points to start out with as well.

Re: 3 Steps to Getting a Professional Design Your Market Wants

Digital Marketing Dude — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 15:39:36 -0000

I only recently realized you could vote on designs. Someone posted on facebook a their selections and asked people to vote. Their final design looked really great and they let their audience choose. I have seen clients agonize over a logo so letting the market make the decision seems a great way to go!

Re: Marketing Is the New Selling

Digital Marketing Dude — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 11:47:24 -0000

Looking at some of these replies I think a commission only sales person over other has to see himself as his own company. He can cultivate a relationship and stand out form his competition as an individual very well if he will use some basic marketing practices.

How much more of an impact could he make if when he goes cold calling business to business he leave a 5 or 8 page report on the "true cost of xxxxx and for xxxxx position of person". And it gives that prospect a chance to see his expertise.

It has a lot to do with positioning. If you are seen as just anther sales guy you will close much fewer sales and you will not get access to the bigger deals.

The sales guy who is positioned as the expert and authority will always win out.

When your prospect comes to you and says "hey I read your report and we need to talk" you are then a trusted adviser. You don't have to "sell" you just have to do what you do. Which is solve their problem as good as or better than anyone else can.

And in a way as John is saying that makes them want to do business with you again and tell all their friends about it.

I love that that scene with Alec Baldwin.

I spent many years in small business B2B sales and found out very quickly that most small businesses do not know how to market for lead generation.

So I was always my own lead generator. After doing that for long enough I started getting very good at marketing in general and started my own business as a marketing consultant.

I think a good combination of information marketing with sales people who are savvy enough to understand that and use it their full advantage is key.

Great stuff!

Re: Review of Traffic Travis – Latest Update

Digital Marketing Dude — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:36:40 -0000

Hey Travis,

I have been evaluating several SEO tools to see which one will work best for me me. There are a lot of great ones out there but they get pretty price with monthly subscriptions.

What TrafficTravis has is that its simple and straight forward and measures on some very key things and gives you key info into what competitors are doing.

It is definitely worth the money. Just a one time payment is great.

I really like the branded reports as well. This will save me a ton of time in providing reports to my clients that I was previously compiling manually.

Some day when I am a big SEO firm I can look at one of those other expensive options but what TT has built in will do me just fine for a long time.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Peter

Re: Facebook Should Stop Worrying So Much About Google Plus

Digital Marketing Dude — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:56:04 -0000

You are dead on with this one John. I had a conversation with my 16 year old son just a couple days ago about email. He just laughed and scoffed at me at the thought of using email. His primary means of communication is Facebook and text messaging.

That is how Facebook has changed things for many. So like you say it isnt just going to go away.

Great article Pamela. I would much rather be at home and around my family in those final moments than stuck in a hospital.

Thanks,
