Notas del editor

  1. That’s why you are here….it doesn’t matter what your industry or background is…we want the same thing
  2. Doesn’t matter if your industry is computer repair in Cumberland County, SEO, etcThere are usually 1 or 2 competitors that probably come to mind right now
  3. Sounds like a _lot_, but it isn’t…Web is a democratized platform…an even playing fieldIt’s just as easy to visit the New York Times website as it is the Carlisle Sentinel’s.
  4. Use content to make yourself the leader in your industry
  5. You are an expert in something…use that!Go to place on the web for something
  6. A few common excuses that you’ll hear…. You might already be thinking one of these in your head
  7. It’s not 1995…if you want to succeed online, setting up 5 page websites and doing nothing else isn’t going to cut it.
  8. Open up and write about your processes, your day to day happenings…. This kind of content relates really well to other people
  9. On-page SEO is terrible on this page…see title tag. Ranking number 1 off of the power of the blog
  10. We are all experts about something….even random things. This video has 146 root domains linking to it, 108 comments and 2,687 likes.Businesses are very knowledge about their particular fieldsExperts are needed and sought after for even the most peculiar of subjects
  11. As a proof of concept.. Something weird that I am really passionate about – wiffle ballYou would think that not many grown men are passionate about wiffle ball and not many experts are needed in an unpopular field.
  12. But even the strangest and far reaching topics get tons of views and shares online
  13. People will share and spread free things… ebooks, white papers, tools, music, lists, etcHip hop artists have really figured this out with mixtapes
  14. Products, guides, tips….reach out to influencersUse free content to get your word out there…and capitalize on the audience
  15. Interact with other business owners, bloggers and readers….work with each other, cross promote, share knowledge Guest blogging, roundtable discussions, interactive posts – what are you listening to?
  16. 40 million unique visitors each yearShowcase unique knowledge that only you know
  17. People love exclusivity
  18. Teach people something that they don’t know
  19. People look up weird things on the internet
  20. People are curious…really curious (and stupid) Solve problems for people…it means traffic, shares, links, $$$$
  21. One surefire way to get your content out there is to do something mind blowingly dumbCharles Carreon stole and republished comics from The Oatmeal and then threatened to sue him…it made him infamous
  22. Gained around 1,200backlinks since the lawsuit
  23. Qdoba launched a contest requiring people to create videos to win free videos for a year. To win, people had to get others to “Like” Qdoba’sFacebook page and vote for them on the wallThis engagement encourages people to get others to vote on the page
  24. Break news…be the first to write about something interesting in your industry.Kenny Geidel, legendary vendor in Pittsburgh, passed away unexpectedly last year
  25. We wrote a tribute and had it published within 15 minutes….huge traffic spike for visitors that day
  26. Talk about what is going on with you and your businessSOME OF THE most popular TV shows are people working….there are probably plenty of interesting things that your company does
  27. Write about and share the awesome day to day things that happen at your company
  28. If you want to stand out and be the industry leader….you have to start with content.
  29. Every market is competitive now… you have to sacrifice to get to the top. You need to invest money, time, etcEvery post isn’t going to go viral. Takes a lot of time and effort to build up quality content…if you don’t put your investment into that than your competitors will.
  30. These are the only things you need to do to be successful*. You can get away with just doing one of the two, but that's rare, and usually someone else is doing the other part for you.
