Online Reputation Management: How to Protect Your Online Reputation in 7 Easy Steps

By Donna Gunter on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 | No Comments

Online reputation management is one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today. Have you ever been upset with the way you were treated at a business and immediately vented about it on a social website? Or have you sent an email or posted to a forum about a company regarding your treatment? If so, then you are certainly not alone.

I recently vented about my online backup service on Twitter (didn’t help my situation resolve any more quickly but the issue was eventually dealt with), and I had a bad experience with Taco Bell that resulted in my submitting a complaint on their web site, to which they quickly responded (much to my surprise), and I received coupons for free items.

There are all kinds of ways to optimize your web site for the search engines, but one of the most overlooked methods is image SEO. It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but who knew that image seo, or optimizing your images for search engines, might shoot your site to the top of Google, when all else has failed?

Marketing Results: 7 Crucial Stats You Need to Track Your Marketing Success

By Donna Gunter on Thursday, January 12th, 2012 | 2 Comments

You may feel as though you’re on a hamster wheel when it comes to measuring your marketing. You run, run, and run some more, but don’t seem to be getting anywhere. That feeling is perfectly natural if you’re not measuring your ROI (Return on Investment) with your marketing. For years, I’ve been on this hamster wheel myself, without a system that I liked to help me measure my marketing results. Numbers and statistics have never been my strong suit, and even though I got A’s in most of my math classes, it took every brain cell I had to do so.

Business Planning: Your 17-Point New Year’s Business Inventory and Cleanup

By Donna Gunter on Thursday, January 5th, 2012 | No Comments

New Year’s purging, whether it’s physical, electronic, or mental, helps you wipe the slate clean and begin anew.

The act of removing clutter from your workspace or cleaning your business of what’s no longer working leaves you free to focus on what remains. Much of what’s left is not physical, however. Like me, many online business owners have more electronic items in their business than physical ones. This is the point where many independent service professionals get stuck — trying to organize and take inventory of all those electronic assets and determine how to best utilize them in the coming year.
