Posting this week will be a bit lighter than normal. A little over seven hours from the time of me posting this most of my spectacular Reno SEO team and I will be heading over to the airport for Las Vegas. We’ll be joining many other SEOs, webmasters and business owners at Webmaster World’s PubCon!
This will be my second time to PubCon. I took my team last year and not only did we have a blast but we came back energized and full of ideas. We’re expecting this year to be even better.
The Pole Position Marketing team would like to wish all our readers a happy Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy a few days of R and R in the company of others with whom you share your happiness.
Here are my top 10 reasons to be thankful every day:
My salvation
My wonderful wife, Dionne
My incredible children, Kejana, Patricia, Guardian, Aidan and Gillian
My spectactular Reno SEO team, Sarah, Rob, Diana, Michelle, Crystal, Ashley and Nicole
Almost exactly four years ago, my husband and I decided to check out some new cars at one of the dealerships in town. We had no intentions of buying a new car, but we were just curious what was available and what prices were like. Six hours after walking on the lot, we were driving off in a car that we were never interested in buying. We left the dealership that Friday at midnight, and when we got home, we were completely baffled by what had just happened.
I come into the office this morning and I see Stoney with a big grin on his face. He’s sitting straighter, chair pumped up just a bit higher (I swear his feet aren’t touching the floor) and he looks, well, bossly.
Not that he normally doesn’t look like a boss, but today, well he looks successful. Is it the shiny blue shirt he’s wearing? Is it the freshly polished shoes? Is it the fact that he just got paid in Friends and Seinfeld DVDs from his favorite people in all of search engine marketing (outside of his Reno SEO Team, of course)?
I absolutely love Mike Moran’s take on Internet marketing. Do It Wrong Quickly is not about how to do Internet marketing wrong, it’s about how to not get caught up in having to do it right so that you’ll do something now. Doing something wrong is far better than doing nothing right. Doing something wrong quickly is far better than doing something right slowly. The bottom line is that you simply need to do something.
Finding good employees can often be difficult, especially in an “employees market”. Currently it seems it’s harder for employers to fill a job than it is for job seekers to find one. That means it’s incumbent upon us business owners and managers to get a bit more creative in how we find candidates for open positions. And then, like any good marketer, you’ve got to persuade your top candidates that you not only want them, they want you too.
I’ve been silent here on the (EMP) blog long enough. While Stoney requires all his employees to blog on a weekly basis I’ve been given no such authority. That’s all going to change. I’m tired of playing second fiddle. I’m sick of being the Ben Assflake in Matt Damon’s shadow. I’m sick and tired of being the direct to DVD sequel, panned by critics and relegated to the 2 for $11 bin at Wal-Mart.
Today I step out on my own and prove that I’m not just the side-kick that gets to say a few pithy lines for comedy relief. I’ve got a voice that wants to be heard… that needs to be heard… that you, my friend, want to hear! Am I overstating? Perhaps. But by the time you figure it all out I’ll have you wrapped around my little finger like a pig in a blanket.
I’m going to try something new for a while that I’m somewhat excited about. This is for those of you who can’t wait until PubCon to hear me speak… now you can hear me speak almost daily.
Starting today I’m going to be recording an audio cast of my blog posts. I won’t record every post, only those that I deem worthy. You should see an MP3 icon at the top left of each post that has an audio version. Click on that and it’ll open up the audio file. You can also save the file to load to your iPod or MP3 player.
