What Is A Bounce Rate:How Important Is It?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What is a Bounce Rate?
Here is an easy way to think of the website bounce rate. Think of a ‘bounce’ as someone landing on your website, not clicking on any other pages and then leaving. The bounce rate is, therefore, the percentage of people that do this, rather than stay and take a look around your website. You want your bounce rate to be as low as possible, get them to engage and take the next step down your sales funnel. 
  There are some key factors to consider that determine your website bounce rate…
What Type Of Traffic Are You Attracting?
Are the visitors to your website specifically looking for your company, or are they looking for information? People who are familiar with you will bounce less than those who are in information-gathering mode. If you have an eCommerce store, does your traffic have high ‘commercial intent’? Are they ready to buy or simply researching for future purchases?  
Writing really awesome blog posts can bring you lots of traffic, but this tends to be more information-seeking traffic as opposed to visitors with high commercial intent. Consequently, traffic to blog posts tends to have a higher bounce rate than traffic to your home page even if the average session duration is longer. 
This shows the blogs are good quality and all that may be needed is a prominent call to action. Another way to keep them on longer is to have lots of relevant internal links so the visitors can delve deeper into a topic that interests them. 
Tumblr media
    What Causes Artificially High Bounce Rates?
Websites are frequently crawled by bots. Some are friendly and used to decide where to rank the website. Other bots are nasty and evil and are looking for content to scrape and load to spammy sites. Therefore the bounce rate is skewed because they are not real visitors.
  The Sources Of Your Traffic.
Visitors that come from Google search results tend to ‘bounce’ much less than visitors from Facebook, for example. People are in very different frames of mind when they’re in work or play modes. Paid traffic sites can have an effect on your bounce rate due to the fact they are not organic or perhaps targeting the wrong audience pulling in unqualified traffic.
Sending the wrong people to your landing page will definitely result in a higher bounce rate. The right traffic is visitors that are primed to convert because they are in your target audience. 
CEO and CMO of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast has done some excellent research on the target market for Markethive. Given the company is on blockchain and crypto-based, it makes sense to target people using the platforms illustrated in this research
The Design And Layout Of Your Website.
Sites that are difficult to navigate, confusing, or look old-fashioned all tend to have higher bounce rates than new clean, easy-to-use, mobile-friendly websites. Intrusive advertisements will not only have a negative effect but will also reduce the reputation of your landing pages. Also, auto-play videos are a strict no-no. Most people don’t like surprises or be bombarded as soon as they hit the site. 
Headlines and subheadings are helpful to visitors to scan blocks of text quickly. If they cannot spot the content by scanning the headline or subheadings, they most likely will not take the time to search your site. 
Images relating to the content make it easier to read. Text without images can be overwhelming and needs to be optimized for online reading. Writing on the web is very different than writing for written publications. Images break up the copy making it easier on the eyes. 
Note: Images need to be relevant, inspiring and entertaining but not too many or too distracting. Avoid oversized images also. Combining images with great content simply reinforces what you want to say with the visual.
The Clarity Of Your Message.
Within the first few seconds of arriving at a website, visitors will automatically scan for content and design elements that communicate Credibility and Safety. The perceived safety of the site relates to the quality of the content and the appearance of the pages. If your site communicates safety, the visitor will be encouraged to stay, explore and may even take the next step.
Grammar and spelling errors on a site are very often perceived as not credible. It’s an absolute turn off for me when visiting sites. But the credibility and safety go well beyond grammar and spelling. The quality of content must quickly communicate that… 
You understand their problem
You have a solution that could solve their problem
They just need to take the next step 
The next step is a clear call to action. Having a clear call to action means the visitor knows at a glance what their next step should be and where it is on the page. Making it easy and not asking for too much information will definitely work in your favor. Even asking for full name, phone number and email can result in a bounce or maybe even a false lead. A simple widget connected to their email account is a one-click verified lead that most people accept and is an easy, unobtrusive way to capture them.  
If the visitor is not convinced that the site is credible, reliable and safe for any reason, they will bounce from the page within the first few seconds after arriving. 
  The Speed Of Your Website.
Slow-loading websites have high bounce rates and low conversion rates. It’s that simple. The golden rule is that people do leave a website if it takes more than 4 seconds to load. 
These following factors tend to slow page load times: 
Cheap hosting
Oversized images that can’t be downloaded quickly
Too many images will cause too many requests on each page load
Using custom fonts need to be downloaded for the visitor to read 
Too many fancy sliders and javascript effects that also must be downloaded to work. 
  What Is A Good Bounce Rate?
As a very broad rule of thumb, you’re aiming for a website bounce rate of under 40%. Between 40% and 55% is usually okay, whilst 55-65% shows significant room for improvement. This is a very simple and broad rule of thumb. There are certain circumstances like paid and social traffic, traffic hitting blog posts and also mobile traffic tends to bounce more. This is where it might be perfectly okay to have a bounce rate higher than these figures.
Tumblr media
  Checklist of things to review on your landing pages…
You sent the right people to your landing pages.
You don’t bombard people with intrusive ads that distract from your primary call to action.
Your headlines match the advertisement that promoted the landing page.
Visitors can quickly find what they are looking for.
Spelling and grammar have been checked out.
The content provided is of high quality.
It’s well designed with a clear message.
The images don’t distract from the call to action.
You have a clear next step for the visitor avoiding confusion.
You avoid asking for too much information.
Landing pages load under 2 seconds.
  For Markethive Associates, You can find your bounce rate under Statistics either on your Profile Page or in Pages for your Widget and Capture Page stats. Markethive has made it very easy to read the analytics and keep on top of critical information that can help you improve where need to reach your end goals.
Tumblr media
This service is available to all Associates, Free, and Upgraded. I find the capture pages and websites at Markethive fare very well with bounce rates and conversions. 
Conclusion
Page layouts that are simple can communicate a lot of information in a short period of time. Focus on what you really want the visitor to do on your landing page. Be sure to make all the content, images and call to action buttons are gently nudging people in that direction.
Think of each landing page as a social contact. This is where you create a first impression that encourages the visitor to get to know you better, thereby improving your bounce rate, time on site and overall conversions.

  What are Incent App Installs and Non Incent App Installs?
So, you just got your app up on the stores and now you wonder how to promote them? This Guide will lead you trough the most basic Idea of App Promotion, the two Models of Incent and Non-Incent App Installs.
Incent App Installs and Non Incent App Installs – The differences:
What exactly are the differences between Incent App Installs and Non Incent App Installs? What are the Pros and Cons of these kind of App Marketing Strategies?
What are Incent App Installs (Incentivised Application Installs)?
Incentivised app installs are commonly referred to as a process where the audience is incentivized to engage with an advertisement to recieve some kind of reward. The kind of advertisement and the reward can range greatly, from rewarded video ads to offerwalls, depending on the developer and publisher. This kind of advertisment is often used to start getting some traction for an app on the stores and the platform as a whole. Mostly, the users will interact with the app up to a certain point, so that they will just recieve the reward that they are after, but it is still possible to acquire direct new active users with this method, if the user is intrigued by the app and has fun or a high value using it.
Incent App Installs: Advantages and Disadvantages of Incentivized App Marketing
The two main areas that incent app installs shine in are the costs and the guaranteed traffic. Incent App Installs are always guaranteed as they do not use a marketing space that could be used otherwise and therefore creates a cost for the ad network (like banner ads for example) and they are propably the most cost-effective way to promote an app. They can be used to significantly boost app installs in short time frames and can therefore be used to target high rankings in the App Stores.
Incent App Installs Offerwall Example
For the opposite end on the scale, there are some negatives involved with incent installs, including a reduced lifetime value intended for users. When users are incentivised by the reward, they may install your request without actually wanting to use the app. This often can lead to uninstalls for the app after only a few days, which will surge your uninstall rates from the app store. While this is usually a negative aspect associated with incent app installs, you must also consider if your app is able to hold large audiences after burst frames, as every app simply needs publicity to be recognized by the stores and the possible users. If you are confident with how audiences will engage with your app, incent installs could be just what you’ve been looking for.
What are Non-Incentivised Installs?
Non-Incentivised adds refers to the other end of the spectrum, to traffic that is certainly generated when no reward is offered to the user. This type of traffic is created when users decide to engage with an advertisement anywhere (social media with influencer marketing or other apps) with no promise of any incentive. In other terms, they are merely choosing to get involved with the app using the ad due to personal interest.
Non-Incent Installs: Advantages and Disadvantages
Generally, non-incent installs are the higher cost advertising option in comparison to incent app installs. Non-incent app installs can take longer to drive results, meaning this might not be the best option for you if you intend to accomplish a “Top New” ranking just after launch, in order to find more exposure and publicity and more organic installs this way. When contemplating whether incent or maybe non-incent installs are better to your campaign, it is important to consider your finances, resources and a certain goal you set for the campaign. This goal can either be a certain ranking for a new app (where we would advise you to focus more on Incent app installs) or higher second level engagement and higher life time value of each user (Where we would advise you to focus more on Non Incentivized App Installs).
Pros and Cons of Incent App Installs and Non Incent App Installs
Our recommendation is a marketing campaign which includes both incent app installs as well as non-incent installs. Incent traffic is a guaranteed way to boost your apps install numbers you launch your app, allowing you to rank within the App Store “Top Lists”, giving you the exposure that new apps need to create organic traffic from the App Stores as it is one of the main success factors besides ASO. Once your current initial launch time period is complete, a combination involving both incent and non-incent installs can help you to maintain download rates and ensure that your app is still receiving adequate high quality site visitors, which will create higher rankings in specific search terms and drives your ASO.

What else can be done to Promote Apps?
Not every part of the app marketing needs to involve massive marketing budgets and if you can only to run a incentivized marketing campaign, you can combine it with other, free strategies, like free websites that you can use to promote your app. We feature 10 of the best websites to promote new apps free in this post.
Another great way to recieve high amounts of traffic, which can be used perfectly in conjunction with every other marketing campaign is the so called ASO. ASO stands for App Store Optimization, a term that describes the usage of the App Stores Page to target specific search keywords that will drive traffic to your app. We highly recommend that you focus ASO as one if not the main priority in your marketing activites as the search results of the App Stores are the biggest traffic source for apps. Some Tips for your ASO and a how to for your app description can be found in this post.
An overview of the most important sources for app discovery
Another free and excellent way to get free traffic is social media. It can help you increase organic app installs and can earn you great app reviews. A good example are games. With interactive high scores, that can be shared or tweeted to social media. Tweets and shares are also important in other parts, depending on your core features: Communication with colleagues, activite rates of the app and so one. Just Tweet about your app, get involved with facebook groups that are highly relevant for your app and share your story, your app link and create a following around you that is interested in you and your apps.
  Different ways to promote android apps
ANDROID RELATED FORUMS AND GROUPS
It is almost impossible to finish an app without browsing Android forums while you search for answers to your concerns. In the same time being member of a group allows you to share not only your opinion but also insights from your app. Also in this case there are multiple chances to make your app known but we will give you some examples of very popular communities among Android developers.
Reddit
Android Community
Android Developers Forum
AndDev
Some more strategies on how to promote your app for free can be found in this post as well.
WHAT TO THINK OF WHEN CREATING A MOBILE MARKETING STRATEGY?
Now you know how to promote your app, but what do you need to make your marketing campaign a success?
We can identify four Steps that will make your campaign a true success:
STEP 1 – DEFINE YOUR TARGETED GROUP OF USERS
To think of what your audience could be, is always the first step when creating a mobile marketing campaign. Make a particular point to detail your target audience’s mobile habits. Are they gonna complete a purchase on a smartphone? Is the main percentage of their web usage happening on mobile devices?
Some interesting points:
56% of B2B buyers use mobile devices often to get to the vendors content.
95% of grown-ups use their mobile device primarily to access content or informations.
65% of all email is first opened on a mobile device.
48% of all users begin their internet sessions on a search engine
It is always good to measure how users approach your app. You can monitor that by using Google Analytics.
STEP 2 – SET GOALS
Before you can work on running a successful mobile marketing campaign, you have to be sure what “successful” means for your efforts. Here are some examples of questions you can ask yourself to determine worthy goals:
Are you already doing something for mobile? Because this defines your starting point
If you are already advertising on mobile devices, how are your campaigns performing?
How will a mobile marketing campaign fit in your overall marketing strategy? You should have a reason in mind why you want go to mobile.
What group of users are you targeting for ?
How can the mobile media channels get connected with your already existing channels?
STEP 3 – CHOOSE YOUR KPI’S
Just as every other marketing efforts, mobile marketing campaigns also need to get optimized and tested. Think about what are realistic and measurable KPIs to define the success of your campaign. Like we gave examples before, you can measure the Costs Per Install, Return on Investment, Conversion Rate and many more. In order to choose the right KPI you should ask yourself:
Do I want to increase the Conversion Rate?
Do I want to increase the traffic or the sales directly?
Does our brand need to improve the general awareness?
STEP 4 – MONITOR THE MOBILE METRICS
It is important to get as much information as possible on how the customer/user engages with your product. Therefore you can get help of various tools:
If you published your app via Google Play Store you have great possibilities to get insights on how and which user gets in touch with your app. You can get usefull datawith the help of Google Analytics, or in the developer console itself.
What is the conversion rate for play store page visit to app install for your app?
How many visitors do you get from AdWords-campaigns and how do they convert?
You can set every mobile marketing ad with a specific UTM-Tag and the Developer Console will show you in detail for which ad how many users are visiting and converting into app users.
How many visitors are coming from Google Search?
How many visitors are coming from third-party referrers?
If you published your app via iTunes for Apple devices using iOS, you can implement code into your application which gives you the possibility to get data on how (potential) users approach your app with the help of Google Analytics.
The crux with the retention
App Retention is one of the key factors of an successful app. The problem with incent app installs is that most of the time, the users will delete your app as soon as they get there reward. One way to work against this is to use push notifications as shown is this blog post.

What To Look Out For When Searching For The Best Online Canvas Print Suppliers

What To Look Out For When Searching For The Best Online Canvas Print Suppliers
 With the unlimited power of the internet at your fingertip, it is possible to get drowned in the plethora of information available, yet losing out on vital tickers, pointers, and guides. Are you considering using canvas prints to style your apartment? Or giving your space a new personalized or professional makeover using canvas prints? or need canvas prints for some other reasons, yet cannot seem to find the right guide to use in your search for the best canvas prints that would not only meet your high art taste but wouldn’t cost you a fortune either in production, logistics or in re-ordering time? Look no further! This post would provide some insight on the exact things to look out for when canvas print shopping.
As with every system, although there are millions of minute variables to consider when ordering custom prints, it is necessary to remain true to the crux of our nature and focus only on the important ones. Therefore, we are delighted to present a list of things to consider seriously when contemplating investing in a canvas print, they occur in no particular order of preference.
 The Canvas Print technology used
Due to the intricacies of the print process, traditionally, all prints are considered as “originals” regardless of their general overview, whether or not they are replicas of others and this dates back to the early15th century. Although prior to the Renaissance, most artists impressed their works against wooden backgrounds due to their ready availability, absorption properties and the wide acceptability of the populace. This, however, had a downside as no sooner than later their artworks gave way to the force of nature called rot and decayed, thus the more reliable way of painting over stretched canvas coated with a paint binder held in place by firm wooden frames was developed and widely celebrated. This technology has evolved to the use of modern day latex inks and high-quality cotton or silky matt satin canvases fixed around heavy duty frames.
The Canvas Print Quality
Although every canvas print quality is highly dependent on a couple of factors, such as the materials used, the degree of retouching done, the canvas print technology adopted etc, the quality delivered to clients can often time be overstated by online suppliers, thus, it is necessary customers consider which brands pay immense attention to every customer order details? Do these suppliers provide the necessary options or services you need? If so, how much of these services are offered and to what degree? These services could include any of the following:
High quality or certified print materials: In the light of the technological boom, it is not common to have inferior products infiltrate the market, thus destroying the goodwill of a particular brand or product, for example, print material. Thus, it is required to ensure your online supplier uses only certified print materials such as the HP certified materials that work perfectly fine with the HP range of printers, giving you quality prints you can trust.
 Retouching: Prior to printing your order, do the suppliers go out of their way to ensure utmost print result by offering retouching assistance to print images? Retouching refers to the art of professionally editing pictures prior to printing, usually involving color correction, adjusting contrasts, lighting balancing, smoothening the skins, softening strong edges and even removing disturbing backgrounds thereby improving the quality while still maintaining the integrity of the original picture.
  Print verification: with respect to exceeding customers’ expectations, the best of retailers take the initiative of setting up a digital verification of the print jobs prior to printing. This usually occurs via the firm sending out a digital version of how the image would appear on a canvas after being printed and framed. This is a very crucial and innovative step as it helps reduce the rate of order cancellation and helps the best online canvas firms save money avoiding reworks or recall of products.
 The Available Canvas Print Gallery
The hallmark of every good print media supplier is the ability to effectively represent their collection of work and products in a seamless and easy to understand manner. Some firms take this a step further by categorizing them based on the type of designs printed such as rustic, vintage, classic etc. whereas others structure their gallery collection based on the sizes of their prints, thus effectively letting customers find prints that are suitable for their space at the click of a mouse. This section of the best print canvas supplier is crucial as it presents the products in retina ready formats that would appeal in the only way possible via the static internet sites; visual. Some galleries go a step further by including short clips of how each product looks hung, but it invariably just appeals to the aesthetic acumen of their customers.
The Websites’ Simplicity & Functionality
In the 21st century, the companies with the simplest yet most viral distribution outlets and marketing strategies most often win the lion market share. This has been a norm since the dot-com boom because customers crave ease and simplicity, therefore, having invested heavily in physical infrastructures, machines and human capacities, a major differentiating factor between the best canvas print suppliers and the rest if the simplicity of their platform. And as a rule of thumb, it should take less than 10 minutes to proceed from accessing the website to effective order placement, else such brands stand a chance of losing customers to simpler and more effective websites. Below is a list of some of the attributes most successful online canvas print websites possess;
Responsiveness: These websites respond and load perfectly on various devices or gadgets, thus allowing for easy access to their platform in various circumstance, either on the go on the mobile phones or while on the laptops in the comfort of your room, thus creating a versatile customer experience.
Simplicity: since the goal of the internet is ease of processes, it makes common sense that most successful online print firms use very simple yet brilliant web designs, this offers potential and existing customers the ability to courageously navigate through the site in a seamless yet effective manner, leading to greater engagement.
Functionality: These websites are not only responsive and simple, they are very functional, with minimal glitches or bugs and every single feature serves its purpose optimally. Therefore creating little or no room for customer complaints with respect to bugs or website non-functionality.
Security: Given the rise of scam websites and identity thefts, all successful canvas print sites use reputable payment portals or gateways to secure customers’ interest and information. Thus leading to greater customer delight and retention.
Imagine you are a first-time customer stumbling upon two online canvas print sites, take a minute to consider your choice between two scenarios;
The first is a really beautifully designed website, with attractive color schemes and a vast array of products in the gallery, however, the products are arranged haphazardly and there is limited functionality on the website. While the second is a simple website, with modest color schemes, yet the website is highly functional, responsive and secure, although it has fewer products listed. In the event that you could only choose to shop from one supplier, which would you choose? The larger confusing supplier or the smaller yet functional website?
youtube
  The Amount of Add-on Services Offered:
In the light of the internet battle, it is observable given your customers the best customer experience ensures they become lifetime customers, and the same applies for the canvas print industry, we strive to provide customers every bit of comfort and opportunity to ease their artistic passion, below are some examples of services provided at little or no cost to customers:
Lifetime guarantee: The greatest brands in the industry constantly utilize high quality materials and best practices in production, however this is never enough in the light of stiff global competition. Therefore, firms that trust the quality of their products and the reliability of the materials are keen and eager to offer customers lifetime guarantee for the canvas ordered. This guarantee means the prints wouldn’t lose their colour, decay or even sag under normal working conditions, this helps seal the interest of their customers and thus gain considerable market share.
Shipment tracking: Asides having an impressive online presence, website experience and printing capability and quality, it is crucial for the best online print canvas retailers to have highly flexible and competitive logistics solutions to cater for every client’s need that might arise. Needs such as shipment tracking to Efficient and speedy delivery and even to shipping discounts on orders over a particular limit. These services tend to build trust and emotional connection with their audience and customers as the brand is perceived to be interested in just more than making “the next sale” rather, they are providing world class products to their esteemed customers with utmost ease and reliability.
Community Building: Most leading and successful print canvas brands employ the community building tactics via blogging, they endeavour to build meaningful relationships with their customers via making emotional deposits in the form of helpful tips and information with respect to print canvas selections and technology. Also, these communities are increasingly engaging their members via disruptive social networks such as Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest and Instagram to disseminate information and coordinate the community’s activities in a win-win fashion.
Customer service: Furthermore, the best brands in any profession are the ones that put the interest of their customers at the forefront, thereby providing meaningful and effective customer support.

What To Look Out For When Searching For The Best Online Canvas Print Suppliers
With the unlimited power of the internet at your fingertip, it is possible to get drowned in the plethora of information available, yet losing out on vital tickers, pointers, and guides. Are you considering using canvas prints to style your apartment? Or giving your space a new personalized or professional makeover using canvas prints? or need canvas prints for some other reasons, yet cannot seem to find the right guide to use in your search for the best canvas prints that would not only meet your high art taste but wouldn’t cost you a fortune either in production, logistics or in re-ordering time? Look no further! This post would provide some insight on the exact things to look out for when canvas print shopping.
As with every system, although there are millions of minute variables to consider when ordering custom prints, it is necessary to remain true to the crux of our nature and focus only on the important ones. Therefore, we are delighted to present a list of things to consider seriously when contemplating investing in a canvas print, they occur in no particular order of preference.
The Canvas Print technology used
Due to the intricacies of the print process, traditionally, all prints are considered as “originals” regardless of their general overview, whether or not they are replicas of others and this dates back to the early15th century. Although prior to the Renaissance, most artists impressed their works against wooden backgrounds due to their ready availability, absorption properties and the wide acceptability of the populace. This, however, had a downside as no sooner than later their artworks gave way to the force of nature called rot and decayed, thus the more reliable way of painting over stretched canvas coated with a paint binder held in place by firm wooden frames was developed and widely celebrated. This technology has evolved to the use of modern day latex inks and high-quality cotton or silky matt satin canvases fixed around heavy duty frames.
The Canvas Print Quality
Although every canvas print quality is highly dependent on a couple of factors, such as the materials used, the degree of retouching done, the canvas print technology adopted etc, the quality delivered to clients can often time be overstated by online suppliers, thus, it is necessary customers consider which brands pay immense attention to every customer order details? Do these suppliers provide the necessary options or services you need? If so, how much of these services are offered and to what degree? These services could include any of the following:
High quality or certified print materials: In the light of the technological boom, it is not common to have inferior products infiltrate the market, thus destroying the goodwill of a particular brand or product, for example, print material. Thus, it is required to ensure your online supplier uses only certified print materials such as the HP certified materials that work perfectly fine with the HP range of printers, giving you quality prints you can trust.
Retouching: Prior to printing your order, do the suppliers go out of their way to ensure utmost print result by offering retouching assistance to print images? Retouching refers to the art of professionally editing pictures prior to printing, usually involving color correction, adjusting contrasts, lighting balancing, smoothening the skins, softening strong edges and even removing disturbing backgrounds thereby improving the quality while still maintaining the integrity of the original picture.
  Print verification: with respect to exceeding customers’ expectations, the best of retailers take the initiative of setting up a digital verification of the print jobs prior to printing. This usually occurs via the firm sending out a digital version of how the image would appear on a canvas after being printed and framed. This is a very crucial and innovative step as it helps reduce the rate of order cancellation and helps the best online canvas firms save money avoiding reworks or recall of products.
  The Available Canvas Print Gallery
The hallmark of every good print media supplier is the ability to effectively represent their collection of work and products in a seamless and easy to understand manner. Some firms take this a step further by categorizing them based on the type of designs printed such as rustic, vintage, classic etc. whereas others structure their gallery collection based on the sizes of their prints, thus effectively letting customers find prints that are suitable for their space at the click of a mouse. This section of the best print canvas supplier is crucial as it presents the products in retina ready formats that would appeal in the only way possible via the static internet sites; visual. Some galleries go a step further by including short clips of how each product looks hung, but it invariably just appeals to the aesthetic acumen of their customers.
The Websites’ Simplicity & Functionality
In the 21st century, the companies with the simplest yet most viral distribution outlets and marketing strategies most often win the lion market share. This has been a norm since the dot-com boom because customers crave ease and simplicity, therefore, having invested heavily in physical infrastructures, machines and human capacities, a major differentiating factor between the best canvas print suppliers and the rest if the simplicity of their platform. And as a rule of thumb, it should take less than 10 minutes to proceed from accessing the website to effective order placement, else such brands stand a chance of losing customers to simpler and more effective websites.

Are Twitter Lead Gen Cards Worthwhile? Here`s My Case Study
I lately bought Twitter ads and also used their new list building 'cards,' a type of advertisement where Twitter customers could subscribe to your newsletter without leaving Twitter. Here's what my experience was like.
Background: Twitter List building Cards Sponsored Tweets
These ads have actually drawn a great deal of focus, because obtaining customers is always an obstacle for e-newsletter authors and also these cards assure in order to help them do it easily and at range. Offered you can monetize the customers, who would not desire to acquire these ads?
I personally was rather excited by the possibility, because I had actually made use of ad.ly in the past to acquire tweets for The Advanced SEO Book, as part of my listing building for that. And they worked really darn well. Similar to other advertisements, they required optimization, however I saw out of eviction that I obtained leads - great deals of them. (I quit utilizing ad.ly when they pivoted from being a mass market for advertisements to being a star endorsement system. I don't have $25,000 for a tweet, thanks.)
My Experience
I run RockThePitch.com, a football training newsletter.
There was a bug starting, at which point their assistance kindly helped me.
Here's the very first funded tweet I made:
And here's the second ad:
Note that in people's timelines, they do not see the web link but rather see the lead gen card as shown listed below:
Seems pretty straightforward:
Attractive offer? Check

Call to action? Check
The towns where it's a bit weak are that:
the shoes don't comparison with the telephone call to activity but instead mix in, and
there's a slight disconnect in between the heading, which simply asks if individuals desire the cleats at a discount rate, and the telephone call to activity which claims get the coupon by email.
Here's just how the very first tweet done together with the above lead gen card. (I made use of the very same lead gen card for both tweets. though one was a duplicate of the other with different backend monitoring. This altered absolutely nothing to the user encounter though, so does not impact conversion.)
The problem as you could see is that I'm paying a lot for engagement - right here just clicks - yet the significance of these clicks consists of every little thing from clicks on my username to clicks on the image it appears. Did they a minimum of pay off in new fans? Nope. Those were truly worthless clicks.
Some turned up on my website, yet Google Analytics reveals considerably less (12-20 max, far from the 75 listed total amount for this and also the other card I'll receive a minute.)
For now, Twitter is enhancing to increase involvement (e.g. revealing the ad to those most likely to engage), without respect for conversions. It makes good sense from their viewpoint, yet I kept racking up involvement yet there weren't small e-mail signups. That does not make me wish to acquire even more, obviously.
This isn't really brand-new certainly. Facebook offers the exact same nonsense to its advertisers, telling them to buy involvement. You obtained a like, 3 shares as well as a clappy rabbit! Woohooo!
The fact that do something does not make it right, nonetheless. I hope that Twitter permits its advertisers to buy exactly what they want, as well as not bundle together brand (' interaction') with straight feedback (' clicks to my web site or leads'). It would make wise company sense too, bring about higher quotes on the part of its marketers, that can demonstrate to better ROI.
My 2nd sponsored tweet with the above card style was a little bit much more particular, as I mentioned. I called out Robin van Persie followers, since I was targeting users comparable to his followers. (You cannot target an individual account's followers, just those comparable to them.) I also particularly mentioned emails in the call to action of the tweet, 'Get soccer deal emails.'
What targeting did I make use of for the cards?
I'm old enough to know that you require clear targeting. For every tweet, I targeted desktop computer users only, man, in the UNITED STATE. Then each tweet targeted Tweeters like a particular individual's fans, Robin van Persie in the one case and the United States Male's National Group + US Football for the other.
In knowledge, I made 2 mistakes here.
The first is that Twitter itself tells you that their keyword targeting is better for purchase intent. So I didn't see that and went with users- mistake number one. Error second was that I targeted the entire USA.
I believe it's fair to claim that some areas are more probable to play a lot - and probably acquire cleats accordingly - family member to other places. E.g. If you're shoveling snow 4 months a year (hi NY), you most likely play much less football. It's the same if you remain in a city forest like Manhattan. If you're in the south, however ... Twitter's user interface made it appear like I needed to target individual nations as well as considering that my associate offers were only great for the US, I targeted the US solely. I might attempt looking at Google Trends data for geographies to target following time ...
Let's speak about bidding on Sponsored Tweets, while we're at it.
I proposal max $1.01 each 'involvement' (really hoping naively that they would treat me perfectly and offer me leads for around this cost) for both tweets. Twitter was encouraging me to bid more, something like $1.30 - $1.80 if memory serves, and even higher. The suggested proposals run out whack with just what you should bid to obtain your ad shown. They say that you'll get to a greater portion of your potential audience that manner in which, however I do not know if that makes any kind of functional difference in ad serving.
For example, you could think of that somebody that overlooked one advertisement revealed in the direction of the top of their feed is most likely to disregard succeeding ones lower down. Does quote impact placement in Twitter timelines? I think that's what meant by them claiming you'll be revealed to a wider audience, but I do not believe their documents defines exactly just what happens with the bidding.
For a subsequent click focused project, I bid max $1.85, regarding mid array when they were recommending $1.50 - $2.20. Unsurprisingly, the typical expense per engagement was greater, by 18 cents, from $0.51 to $0.69. Not that I in fact respect 'engagements,' yet instead clicks. Here once more my analytics revealed a much reduced variety of clicks compared to reported by Twitter. It's quite strange since I do not see why it would certainly be so compelling to click my username ... But I swerve. Much more on that in a future post.
Twitter's documents for funded tweets as well as straight response
If you look at the study for advertisers planning to make sales, lots of mention non-sales metrics. They read like 'interaction this,' 'fans that.' There's a location for that - at the top of the funnel. If you wish to target all-time low of the channel, these instance studes are quite outlining the problem of carrying out direct reaction marketing when it's bundled with brand advertising and marketing. I discovered that squandered my time.
Here are a few of the much more pertinent situation researches for direct reaction: Bonobos pants, Financial Times, HowAboutWe, DoubleDutch B2b application. Much less beneficial were Asda, Dominos (begun! you men remain in the most direct feedback group ever before!!), Cirque du Soleil, CustomMade, Etsy as well as others.
They likewise do not discuss these marketers' bidding process at all.
Conclusion about Twitter Sponsored Tweets and Lead Generation Cards
In overall, the above examination simply set you back $25, so I'll be the first to admit that you can't draw clear-cut conclusions from this about whether the list building cards deserve it. I could think of maximizing the projects to obtain a cost each lead (CPL) below $1, and hopefully listed below $0.50 ... however the inquiry is whether it will inevitably be successful when I compare purchase and emailing prices to revenue. Currently paying $3 - $13 each email is not profitable.
For what it deserves, when I began advertising on Reddit, my CPL was additionally concerning $10/lead, and also I obtained it to $0.66. (They because elevated their costs considerably.)
Some various other monitorings are that:
these tests took a LOOOT of time to establish. Hrs as well as hours. It's not just composing the tweets or lead gen card duplicate - that's the simple part, certainly. There was a whole lot of backend job to do because if browsers do not sustain lead gen card capability, you need a back-up LINK that Twitter could send people to. That indicates producing a touchdown page, establishing e-mail purchase tracking etc. Furthermore, being an associate, I needed to discover proper offers to promote as well as so forth. A minimum of Twitter doesn't exist to you like Google does as well as claim that it takes simply 5 minutes to start.
I disapproval strongly bidding for engagement, and also think Twitter would certainly have an even more engaging product if I might bid on clicks to my website or leads directly. Twitter could still guard users as well as the customer encounter from bad top quality advertisements, just by making use of better tools such as ad rates as well as distribution caps. E.g. If you're doing badly with individuals, your expense per impression goes way up, as well as if you do super severely, your advertisements reveal much less and less.
There are a great deal of various targeting settings to explore. Besides for the different geographies (states, cities) I could target, there are also opportunities with mobile, targeting females and so on. Component of this is that I'm attempting to target individuals just like myself, as well as cut corners on research.
If I wish to do this seriously, I have to spend a few hundred dollars, procedure and also maximize carefully. If you have an interest in reviewing such material, remark listed below and/or send this article to Inbound or Growth Cyberpunks, as well as I'll write a followup.

Your online reputation on Google is the direct result of the content you write on your website, your blogs, and on social media, over time
How (and, to be honest, if) you, your brand, your business, and services, your products, and your colleagues are portrayed in a simple Google search is the most important personal and professional reputation there is. Your Google SERP is who you are, and you need to take control of it.
Google relies on global online content to come up with its search results. This is the truth. Unlike reddit or Wikipedia, Google isn’t micromanaged. Unlike Wikipedia’s restriction on creating and editing your own Wikipedia entry, Google welcomes all of us to contribute to all the links, text, content, videos, images, graphics, copy, tweets, posts, site updates, mobile-friendliness, and site-speediness that make up the entirely of your reputation online, according to Alphabet’s Google Search Engine.
Every unprotected tweet you make, every public post you make on Facebook, every blog you post, every page you add and flesh out on your website, every time you update your LinkedIn profile or Company Page, any time you upload a video to YouTube, making sure you completely fill out the title, description, and all the other stuff they request, every time you update your bios on your social profiles, each time you guest blog or participate in conversations on reddit or become an editor on Wikipedia — all of these things — are indexed by Google and contribute to your online reputation and heighten your chances of showing up on the first page of Google and actually controlling and dominating your online reputation.
Google’s more Rain Man than Beautiful Mind in that it can seem a little autistic sometimes.  Google isn’t content in, search out. It’s the culmination of almost 19 years of algorithm updates and an army of spot-checkers and QA Google employees around the world. But even with actual people checking the quality of the content online to try to hammer down and prune the abusers, and even with the most sophisticated and powerful algorithm ever backed by an astounding amount of computing power, a) there’s just too much and b) the content that people are providing is not remotely perfect — and no matter what Google does, it’s anti-democratic to only allow the most perfectly-formatted, hosted and mobile-friendly, super-quick-loading, script- and image-optimized content, to come up tops on the search results. So, Google literally cannot allow itself to become a precision tool, it needs to be very forgiving and exceptionally generous to the most high-quality germane and salient content that doesn’t in any way follow Google’s desperate attempt to meet them at least halfway towards the perfect Google search engine optimized.
Rolling dice with your search results doesn’t mean gambling with your reputation. The more quality content that you generate across all of your online platforms, the more in control you are of your online reputation. It doesn’t even need to be quality content. I don’t want you to get stuck behind a perfectionist’s writer’s block. As long as you consistently, over a long period of time, produce content that reflects what you do, how you do it, why you do it, and who you are, starting today, you will build an online reputation. It’s a little like witchcraft: you only get the magic results you want if you speak the right spells.  Online, the spells — your intention — come in the form of posts, tweets, videos, webinars, infographics, products and services pages on your website — all the content you openly share (and people consider valuable) online. It’s very Genesis: “In the beginning was the Word” and “and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” and now is indexed online and is with Google.
If you spend all your time writing about Dungeons & Dragons or motorcycles or your travels or raising your kids, you’ll surely develop a personal online reputation but that reputation will be based on your prowess and experience in D&D, bikes, traveling, and being a mom or a dad.  Don’t get me wrong: sharing yourself and portraying yourself in your full depth and glory, showing how you’re a three-dimensional person worthy of both admiration and a strong attraction to work with you on a daily basis is great.  But, if you want a reputation in online reputation management, you need to write about ORM, if you want a reputation on SEO you need to write about SEO, and if you want a reputation on marketing, you really need to stop just doing marketing and keeping all your processes and techniques black-boxed and secret. You need to become a teacher, a lecturer, and a tutor, and make sure all the benefits of your experience find their way into publicly-accessible videos, articles, blog posts, and even infographics and presentation decks that you can put onto Slideshare.
So, start today. Start right now. You may not be getting the sort of engagement, comments or feedback that your boss or your board or your beancounter wants, but you’re also performing for Google. Of course that bean-counter is correct: it doesn’t hurt to be popular. The more popular your content is, the more Google notices, on all platforms.  But even going through the motions does help. And if you ask any SEO or SEM or ORM specialists, they’ll remind you that your first 6-18 months is just you in a room playing piano for nobody. Don’t expect any real attention or popularity no matter how hard you work or how witty and well-hewn your copy or quip is. There are exceptions, surely — overnight successes!  That said, chat with most overnight successes and they’ll admit that they’ve spent the previous decade working tirelessly but leading lives of quiet desperation.
I’ve written a lot about online reputation management, search engine optimization, and Google. Here’s just a short list most relevant to ORM and online reputation, but feel free to go down the Chris Abraham rabbit hole — I’ve been doing exactly what I recommended you do here since 1999 and I surely do dominate my Search Results — and you can, too — and you can start preparing here:

4 Years ago I wrote this post about me making $4k per month and then turned it into a case study on how to build local service businesses. A couple hundred people from Reddit followed along to build companies and those companies now do a combined $50 million per year!If you want to start something in 2017, I've updated the case study a bit below.Note: This is local service business. Not sexy enough for most of you and that's fine. But I have not found a more predictable path to building a million dollar business than this and I’ve built several, successful, businesses so far.WHY LOCAL SERVICES?Frankly, there is a TON of money to be made.These are huge markets in terms of $$$. However, unlike regular e-commerce companies where you are competing with the best internet marketing people in the world, with local services you're competing with just the people in your neighborhood, most of whom do not understand internet marketing at all.And on top of this we come with a crazy advantage with online booking that 99% of the companies don't have. Imagine a store that sells simple things but for some reason nobody in the industry allows you to purchase online. Well a bunch of redditors are changing that in cities all around the world, and crushing it.And that’s why we have been able to take such a big chunk out of the industry so quickly. My goal is for this network to grow from $50 million a year to $1 billion in the next 5 years. I think it’s possible.A few screenshots from some of the folks that followed along...Here’s one guy, and another , and another, and another, and another, and another ...shoot the last one was launched by a 19 year old kid, they got to $2mil per year in 2 ½ years. Shoot, it took me 3 years to get $2mil per year. Bastards! hahaWhen you add all the companies up, it’s $50 million per year and most started less than 3 years ago. I have the raw data for that $50 million number btw, and we're working with someone from r/dataisbeautiful to go through it and create something to compare revenues, figure out growth rates, correlations with city sizes etc. Will make another post on that when it's done in a week or two.WILL THIS WORK FOR EVERYONE?Nope. But if you have hustle and been trying to come up with “business ideas” or haven’t figured out that sexy mobile app you’ve been dreaming about, then read on for how to build the most annoying (yet fast growing company) you can imagine.This isn't just me saying this btw, the fastest growing Ycombinator company (before they jacked it up) was also a home cleaning company.OKAY ON TO THE CASE STUDY: HERE'S HOW TO FINALLY START SOMETHING IN 2017Before you get started: Try to do just do one thing per day, even if it’s just reading an article, or it will get overwhelming. This is going to be a slow steady candle burning, not a quick passionate flash fire that burns out. Here goes:Sunday, Jan 1st, 2017That's today. Do nothing. Just chill, let the alcohol wear off, and relax. The next 30 days will be sick!!!Monday Jan 2nd: Choose Your IndustryWake up, eat a good breakfast and get ready to crush 2017. Choose one, listed here in order of likelihood of success in my opinion: Home cleaning, carpet cleaning, home painting, lawncare, laundry. I've also seen people do well with mobile car detailing, dog walking, and others. Simple local services, but we'll be doing NONE of the actual work! I’m going to assume home cleaning for simplicity for this guide, but you can interchange that with almost any local service you can imagine.Tuesday Jan 3rd: Use Yelp to check out the competitionCheck out your competition on Yelp by searching for 1 star reviews. Goal is to not repeat the things your competition keeps getting wrong. Watch this video on analyzing the competition.Wednesday Jan 4th: Adding ValueEasy day. Spend the day thinking about customer service and how you will add value to the industry. The goal is a long term successful business that does not repeat the issues your competitors have problems with. Watch this video on adding value.Thursday Jan 5th: Create Your One Page Business PlanThe days of the 60 page business plan is over. Fill this bad boy out as a simple guide. We'll come back to this as you get more information. Watch this video on the one page business plan.Friday Jan 6th: Choose a domainI typically use this site for domain ideas. I like to create domains that have one keyword in the domain and then one sexy word for human beings. Example: Lawn Tribe. That way both Google and Humans understand what you're offering. Watch this video on us choosing a domain.Saturday Jan 7th: BrandingGood looking people get more breaks in life. Same for good looking websites. Launch with a good looking brand that looks more like a startup than an old school company. The goal is to have the most professional site in your industry in your city. Just spend the day googling around for your service in your city and looking at their websites.Sunday Jan 8th: Chillaxing DayGo for a run, or bullshit a bit on reddit, or whatever you do to unwind. So far not much has happened, but next week things will start to ramp up and you'll need a mental break.Monday Jan 9th: Planning the website So we need to get a good looking site. Three choices: 1) Get a cheap wordpress theme and tweak it. 2) Buy a more expensive but ready-to-go theme that is already branded beautifully (if we do say so ourselves) 2) Most expensive: Get something built yourself. I personally like 99designs for homepage design and created a guide on how to get good outcomes there:Step 1: Setting up the contest: http://ift.tt/2iVDhqQ 2: Marketing the contest: http://ift.tt/2hDExdc 3: Finding Inspiration sites: http://ift.tt/2iVEEG3 4: Managing the contest: http://ift.tt/2hDwSM1 5: Wrapup and handover http://ift.tt/2iVG1EP line is, I don't launch any projects with ugly design.Tuesday Jan 10th: CopywritingYou have to write engaging content for your website. For the top section make sure the customer knows where you do business: Things like “Premier Maid Service in Los Angeles” or “You Deserve a clean home in Nevada”. You get the gist. The goal is casual and fun copywriting for the entire site. Watch this video on our copywriting efforts.Wednesday Jan 11th: Building TrustThere are few little things we want to incorporate, that this video covers. Trust is the currency of the internet. We can't build a successful company without certain trust factors on the site like human faces, trust icons, etc. Watch this video on how we build trust.Thursday Jan 12th: PricingWe’re going for simple online booking, that's one of our major competitive advantages, so keep in mind we have to have a pricing structure that works. Here’s something to read on pricing from the original case study. In this video we discuss how we figured out pricing.Friday Jan 13th: Building a form for hiringThe goal here is to throw up ads to find service providers and have them fill out a form on your website that you can then use to follow up. You can use something like www.groovehiring.com (my company) to have people apply on your website. You want to present a nice landing page that looks professional and groovehiring helps with that. This is what it looks like. Check this video out for some more info at the 1 minute mark.Saturday Jan 14th: Choosing the right peopleHow to choose the right folks on craigslist. Read this and for how to reward them, read this.Sunday Jan 15th: Chill out!Some good games on today if you're a football fan. Take it easy and rest your brain if you can. Next week we start to line things up for launch.Monday Jan 16th: Our Marketing ChannelsHere's our marketing Channels and how we’ll be making money. There are a ton of places to get customers and we'll show more in a few days, but for now, watch this video to start to get familiar with marketing channels.Tuesday Jan 17th: Adding a video to your websiteThis isn't necessary but it defintely helps you stand out. Watch this video of Dara creating her video for her website.Wednesday Jan 18th: Set up live chat and other ways to contact youSet up live chat (Tawk.to is free and great) and consider a popup to capture emails. We use phone.com for phones but there are plenty of tools out there. This vid has a bit on email capture.Thursday Jan 19th: ThumbtackWe're not launched yet but this will be important for us to figure out, out of the gate:Here's how to get clients on Thumbtack, and here is Dara’s first shot. It worked out in the end, but here’s how the first stab went for some real world angst.Friday Jan 20th: Thumbtack Day 2Thumbtack will be important for us for our early jobs, check out this video for more Thumbtack strategies.Saturday Jan 21st: Gift Cards, discount codes, etc.Gift cards, discount codes, and other ecommerce tools. Just familiarize yourself online with techniques ecommerce folks use to increase conversions and grow revenue using ecommerce tools. Everything here you’ll get from http://ift.tt/2hDAI7v Jan 22nd: CHILLAXTrump is now president, and Facebook is probably going crazy with memes and stories. You'll need this day. Trust me!Monday Jan 23rd: Get set up to take credit cardsSign up at stripe.com to get a stripe account. This will be the credit card processing company that allows your customers to book online with ease. We use stripe because it integrates perfectly with the booking form we'll be using.Tuesday Jan 24th: Sign up at Launch27 (Full disclosure: I’m an owner)This is going to be the software that runs the entire business, from booking form, to recurring bookings, to credit card integration, to customer database, the entire shebang. The booking form you get here you will add to your website with a simple copy and paste."Oh wait, so this is just selling shovels in a gold rush?" Yeah. A gold rush where I've already figured out how to pan the gold myself, made millions there, showed other people how to do it and a lot of them are making millions as well, and then 2 years later I created a shovel that simplifies the entire process. And in this gold rush, the gold just happens to be fairly predictable and easy to pan. :-)Wednesday Jan 25th to Sunday the 29thLast minute checks, launch27 integration, logo upload, business set up, contracts etc.Monday Jan 30th. Launch Day!This is 1 month from now. And that's how we build businesses. From idea to launch in 30 days. Watch this video for some tips on how we get our first customers. Cycle through this list as well, there are a ton of ways here that have been shown to be solid for getting clients.Yep, it’s hard.One month of hard work, but in 30 days you can start making money instead of dreaming about that fancy mobile app that you’ve been planning out for the last 2 years!COSTS: Domain: $10Hosting: $10 per monthTheme: $450 (website)Launch27: $59 per monthFrom here on out if you can budget $300 per month for marketing it would be a win. (That’s like eating out money and cable/cell phone bill )Core customers will come from: Yelp, Adwords (hire someone), Thumbtack, Craigslist, local seo, and others. Will come back on February 1st to continue this if enough folks give it a shot.BUILD SOMETHING IN 2017At the end of the day build something! If not this, find something else. But there's no excuse to be hanging out in r/entrepreneur for years without working on something.Makes no sense :-)Knowing you guys really well, I know there are a ton of excuses you've already created for why this won't work. I wrote this: The Top 12 Wantrepreneur excuses on how to get past them.Good luck and AMAP.S. Want to add this as someone said I make it sound too easy. Business is risky. Anyone that tells you otherwise has never started a business. It's incredibly difficult, subject to fail, will make you overweight sitting at a computer, will give you high blood pressure and anxiety if you're not careful, and it is incredibly difficult to find customers (and shoot sometimes even more difficult to have those customers pay you when you're done). Nothing about business is easy, otherwise EVERYBODY would be doing. It takes an almost insane person to take on trying to make it in the world with their own two hands and take on ALL the responsibility for the livelihoods of a lot of people. Just keeping it real! This is hard, but doable, because a ton of people have done it, but it's not for everyone by any means. Not everyone is cut out for entrepreneurship to begin with and certainly not everyone is cut out for local services and dealing with human beings. Good luck.Edited to add our FB group for ecommerce and FB group for local.

Your online reputation on Google is the direct result of the content you write on your website, your blogs, and on social media, over time
How (and, to be honest, if) you, your brand, your business, and services, your products, and your colleagues are portrayed in a simple Google search is the most important personal and professional reputation there is. Your Google SERP is who you are, and you need to take control of it.
Google relies on global online content to come up with its search results. This is the truth. Unlike reddit or Wikipedia, Google isn’t micromanaged. Unlike Wikipedia’s restriction on creating and editing your own Wikipedia entry, Google welcomes all of us to contribute to all the links, text, content, videos, images, graphics, copy, tweets, posts, site updates, mobile-friendliness, and site-speediness that make up the entirely of your reputation online, according to Alphabet’s Google Search Engine.
Every unprotected tweet you make, every public post you make on Facebook, every blog you post, every page you add and flesh out on your website, every time you update your LinkedIn profile or Company Page, any time you upload a video to YouTube, making sure you completely fill out the title, description, and all the other stuff they request, every time you update your bios on your social profiles, each time you guest blog or participate in conversations on reddit or become an editor on Wikipedia — all of these things — are indexed by Google and contribute to your online reputation and heighten your chances of showing up on the first page of Google and actually controlling and dominating your online reputation.
Google’s more Rain Man than Beautiful Mind in that it can seem a little autistic sometimes.  Google isn’t content in, search out. It’s the culmination of almost 19 years of algorithm updates and an army of spot-checkers and QA Google employees around the world. But even with actual people checking the quality of the content online to try to hammer down and prune the abusers, and even with the most sophisticated and powerful algorithm ever backed by an astounding amount of computing power, a) there’s just too much and b) the content that people are providing is not remotely perfect — and no matter what Google does, it’s anti-democratic to only allow the most perfectly-formatted, hosted and mobile-friendly, super-quick-loading, script- and image-optimized content, to come up tops on the search results. So, Google literally cannot allow itself to become a precision tool, it needs to be very forgiving and exceptionally generous to the most high-quality germane and salient content that doesn’t in any way follow Google’s desperate attempt to meet them at least halfway towards the perfect Google search engine optimized.
Rolling dice with your search results doesn’t mean gambling with your reputation. The more quality content that you generate across all of your online platforms, the more in control you are of your online reputation. It doesn’t even need to be quality content. I don’t want you to get stuck behind a perfectionist’s writer’s block. As long as you consistently, over a long period of time, produce content that reflects what you do, how you do it, why you do it, and who you are, starting today, you will build an online reputation. It’s a little like witchcraft: you only get the magic results you want if you speak the right spells.  Online, the spells — your intention — come in the form of posts, tweets, videos, webinars, infographics, products and services pages on your website — all the content you openly share (and people consider valuable) online. It’s very Genesis: “In the beginning was the Word” and “and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” and now is indexed online and is with Google.
If you spend all your time writing about Dungeons & Dragons or motorcycles or your travels or raising your kids, you’ll surely develop a personal online reputation but that reputation will be based on your prowess and experience in D&D, bikes, traveling, and being a mom or a dad.  Don’t get me wrong: sharing yourself and portraying yourself in your full depth and glory, showing how you’re a three-dimensional person worthy of both admiration and a strong attraction to work with you on a daily basis is great.  But, if you want a reputation in online reputation management, you need to write about ORM, if you want a reputation on SEO you need to write about SEO, and if you want a reputation on marketing, you really need to stop just doing marketing and keeping all your processes and techniques black-boxed and secret. You need to become a teacher, a lecturer, and a tutor, and make sure all the benefits of your experience find their way into publicly-accessible videos, articles, blog posts, and even infographics and presentation decks that you can put onto Slideshare.
So, start today. Start right now. You may not be getting the sort of engagement, comments or feedback that your boss or your board or your beancounter wants, but you’re also performing for Google. Of course that bean-counter is correct: it doesn’t hurt to be popular. The more popular your content is, the more Google notices, on all platforms.  But even going through the motions does help. And if you ask any SEO or SEM or ORM specialists, they’ll remind you that your first 6-18 months is just you in a room playing piano for nobody. Don’t expect any real attention or popularity no matter how hard you work or how witty and well-hewn your copy or quip is. There are exceptions, surely — overnight successes!  That said, chat with most overnight successes and they’ll admit that they’ve spent the previous decade working tirelessly but leading lives of quiet desperation.
I’ve written a lot about online reputation management, search engine optimization, and Google. Here’s just a short list most relevant to ORM and online reputation, but feel free to go down the Chris Abraham rabbit hole — I’ve been doing exactly what I recommended you do here since 1999 and I surely do dominate my Search Results — and you can, too — and you can start preparing here:

Search + Social = Online Reputation Management
