Search Engine Optimization Training – Search engine optimization is a process of getting great quality and quantity of traffic for your website and will increase the visibility of your website and also your webpages for users when they search the web. Also referred to as SEO it’s the improvement of natural searching which is on pay results. 

 There are some basic steps for creating search engine optimization for your web posts. When you make a website, you want to choose the right URL. Also putting great titles and descriptions in each one of your post is very important. This also goes for when you create a webpage. You need to add all the text to all your images. This is very time intensive, but it is one of those things that needs to be done. You need to give some structure to your copy so that it is using the right headers and is easy to read. I am not sure how the search engines figure this all out, but they do.

 There are a lot of elements to be used when attempting to be found on the Internet. You need to improve your website user experience first of all. You do this by writing great content, and make sure it is optimized for the search engine. You also need to establish back legs. You need to do this from getting other people to link to your site. It is also important to have a website that opens fast. Try not to add too many pictures because images slow down page loading. 

Ben and the folks at SKOL Marketing are natural Viking Fans, so a Viking Snack Helmet may be a mandatory accessory for them in their office.

SynergyCafe – Leah Murtagh interviews MagicBrad

 Today we turn the tables a little and Leah is going to interview #MagicBrad.

 Leah notices that MagicBrad has a lot of things going on just from the view of one of his websites.  He has a lot of websites online. He determines that it is his Internet real estate. 

 The focus is live events. People meeting people. The Internet has allowed us to connect with a lot of people all over the world, however it has reduced the time available to actually meet person to person. 

 The business events that MagicBrad produces, are for people to meet connect and do business. Relationships are one of the most important parts and most difficult to create and nurture and maintain. 

 Upcoming events, our Synergy First Thursdays, the Minnesota EVENT PLANNER Expo, and also the Minnesota Business Expo.

Peter Hagen on Real Estate and Fitness of the Mind Body and Spirit

ABOUT: Peter Hagen is in real estate investing and he believes he will be involved in real estate for the rest of his life in one way or another. He’s also an advocate of healthy living, nutrition and wellness. His lifestyle situation has changed for the better, and he enjoys sharing his experiences and successes with others.

WEBSITE:

SPECIAL OFFER:  

 In this video I talk with you about real estate and ask him, and also the health and wellness of your business. It seems to be relevant to how your business operates. If you are not good in mind body and spirit, you are probably not going to be good in your business. 

 We actually even got a little personal on the concept of sobriety. Peter believes that he is better off being clean and sober, and his mind is more clear and has now living a better life.

 Real estate is one of those industries, that will not be going away. We have eaten some type of shelter ever since we walked out of the cave. That means that real estate is a very secure investment. You do not need to be a real estate agent to be investing in real estate. For example, I am invested in real estate investment trust. I am simply leveraging my money to earn more money. And someone else does the actual investing into the real estate properties. 

 I am invested in commercial, residential, apartments, shopping centers, vacation homes, retirement homes and storage lockers. 
 Living a clean and spiritual life will open your mind to having these moments of clarity, and will accelerate your success goals and objectives.

SynergyCafe VIDEO Interview with Laura Pennington @sixfigurewriter

Laura Pennington is a freelance writer and entrepreneur who threw out her entire business model at the end of 2015. She was sick of working on unfulfilling contracts and outsourcing her work to subcontractors – a process that seemed to add far more work and frustration.

Instead of continuing down Burnout Boulevard, she fired half her clients and kicked off the new year with some commitments, one of which was to only work with clients and subcontractors who allowed her to grow her business the way she wanted to.

You’ll find all her best advice about building a fulfilling and sustainable business here. It’s where she will give you all the juicy details about building a strong digital team or using project management to stay on top of tasks.

One of the biggest changes in her business came when she hired her first VA. Although there was a learning curve, it’s when she finally started to see hours and energy come back to her own biz. You feel the same – you know you want to outsource, but you don’t know how. That’s what she is here to teach you.

So if you’re tired, overwhelmed, and sick of not having a business that fills you with joy or allows you to take time for yourself, deep breath: You got this.

Time Freedom and Efficient Meetings Events and Trade Shows

One on one coffee meetings may be a waste of time.

Taking the time to drive across town to meet one person for coffee, then having the meeting, purchasing coffee, then taking the time to drive back to your office maybe a very inefficient use of your time.

A more productive time use might be leveraging the power of video streaming online, or perhaps social media advertising.

Also one of my favorite methods of getting new business, is attending tradeshows and expos as an exhibitor. When you take the time to select a proper trade show or event, you can meet a lot of very qualified people in a very short time window.

Trade shows are very cost effective when done correctly. When done wrong they are very expensive.

Self Employment can be Lonely and Depressing

I have been self-employed most of my life. Also, as a child, I was never really into teen sports. I was more of a wrestling, gymnastics, track and field, martial arts kind of athlete.

In this video, I talked a little about how a person could possibly get depressed and potentially suicidal from the ups and downs of your name your own income as a self employed entrepreneur.
