I've been quiet for a while and I want to be honest with you. The truth is I was starting to feel burnt out. I knew when my body bluntly told me by letting me wake up mentally and physically exhausted last Saturday. I had to make a change and the first thing I did the first was to not do any work all weekend! That's tough for someone like me .... This created opportunity though . What did I do ? I decided to spend this week saying NO and going over all the 'shiny object syndrome' tasks I had accumulated in my project management software. The goal was to find the most important tasks to allow me to identify what tasks to keep doing and what to stop. After going through most of the tasks I realized most were not important and focused down to less than 20% this week. Now as I now work through them I am expanding on what needs to be done and seeing what I can stop doing. Time management is ruled by the 80/20 rule and if you work through the 20% you will see what tasks in the 80% will actually get you where you want to go. If you ever feel burnt out or start to feel stressed ask why and one of the first places to start looking at is what you DON'T need to do. #productivity #takeabreak #worklifebalance #recharge #timemanagement

What podcasts are you listening too? I need a new one. I've listened to a lot of Gary Vee, Tony Robbins, Russel Brunson, Tony Malyk's Leak buckets of profits, Tim Ferris, all the Grant Cardone content, think and grow rich. There is a lot to choose from and I'm not sure what to listen to next. What are you enjoying these days?... #podcast #education #business #selfdevelopment

I just realized I hit 100 likes. Thanks for the following everyone it means a lot!

As a marketing consultant or freelancer owner how much of your work is white-label? Some won't do it and I know some who will take it on to grow faster in the beginning and do their own lead generation at the same time. An important part of making it successful is finding the right people or companies to partner up with. ... What has worked for me is running PPC for SEO companies because it is a natural complement to each other. They already build good quality websites and have to get the call tracking and other tools. Very often it's just PPC and FB ads they would like to offer and have help with and all I focus on is the marketing strategy and PPC. What works for you might be different. Building a full white label agency on scale is different from a regular agency so be careful how much you take on if you don't plan to structure properly for it. How many accounts are ideal? As a freelance marketing & PPC consultant 5-10 ad accounts are ideal to complement my growing consulting practice. Maybe 20 if they are small local ones. Currently, I have less than 5 white label ad accounts and it's working out great and I'll slowly be adding more! #whitelabel #marketing #ppc #googleads #agencygrowth #aydinternetmarketing #marketingagency #facebookads #fbads #outsourcedmarketing

Marketing Doesn't Define You. It Shows Your Values. You may read my profile now as a marketing growth strategist, especially with contractors and the technology industry. The reason is I am successful in these fields is I have been in your shoes. The good and the bad! The sweat, gruelling hours of physical labor, and questions about, "What is my password again?". I have been there.... IT & Technology specialists - Your stories about the caps lock key is turned on, rebooting, or the ethernet cable being unplugged I will relate too. I was the person getting the call at one point just like you. Contractors - I have crawled in 90+ degree attics and ran wiring, cleaned gutters in the cold and heat, pressure washed, and had to carry heavy landscaping material in the sweltering heat. This makes me proud because it's I know I can relate to you when you reach out to me for help. You are more than a number and it gives me a deeper appreciation and respect for what you do. I genuinely care about your business success. If you want to connect with me on or talk about how I can help message me. Helping people is my passion! #mystory #aydinternetmarketing #contractors #landscaping #construction #trades #leadgen #marketing #consulting #businessdevelopment #marketingstrategy #IT #informationtechnology #technology #advertising #storytelling #branding #businessmarketing #videomarketing #leadgeneration #storytelling

What The Super Bowl Teaches Us About Endurance And Patience The Super Bowl is a good reminder that as much as we plan there is always something that can catch us off guard and success can be a long term game. Some football teams have never been to the super bowl but they never quit and some teams who do win still go over 10 years without playing in it. They don't give up and we can apply this same persistence and drive to our personal lives and business.... Remember we can always come back and keep fighting even if it takes 1 year, 5 years or 10+ years. 5 years ago I was focused on video and social media marketing and for 3 years tried different variations of service offerings but never gained much traction. The truth is it wasn't my passion and looking back it was the wrong audience. Hindsight is 20/20 though funny how that works? Then in year four, I stopped focusing on what wasn't working and transitioned to helping people with their vision and what was needed to help then achieve success beyond numbers and business. Plus I simplified my services by developing key partnerships with other experts who can I refer to and I trust. Now all I do is marketing consulting and PPC and I enjoy it. This has caused me to have to endure some significant changes in how I operate but it was worth taking a short term loss to focus on the long term game. The long term game will always win even if I have to contend with patience as we don't always get along. As for the Superbowl this Sunday I say 49ers will win! I'll be a die-hard Geen Bay Packers fan at heart though still. #superbowl #superbowlads #superbowl2020 #superbowlsunday #marketing #advertising #aydinternetmarketing #businessdevelopment #businessgrowth

If you are looking for a great hosting platform I highly recommend SiteGround. I've used them for years and the Speed and Wordpress support is great. The GrowBig plan is recommended and it's 75% off at $4.98USD a month right now but worth it to grab 3 years if your hosting is up soon.... **disclaimer this is an affiliate link - the service is worth it though! https://www.siteground.com/index.htm

There are different roles in a company as it grows. It's challenging, in the beginning, to learn what you are really better at. I am more aligned with the CMO/CEO I find but some days I like details. If you have some or all these roles filled already what role(s) do you prefer or do you currently operate as?... https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/83618 #businessgrowth #businessdevelopment #teamwork #hirdingateam #aydinternetmarketing

He can help advise on ways to make HR work for your business in an efficient way that is less than a full time in house HR employee.

Happy Friday everyone. This week I have had the opportunity to connect with great people in the marketing industry and learn as well as give back. Plus others not in my field who can be just as valuable! Some support comes financially while others will come in family, emotional, or just someone to listen. Being vulnerable in an authentic way is required to truly grow and I am glad to have honest and helpful people in my life.... I don't always like what I hear but it's important to move forward! What do you need help with in your business? Is there someone you are looking to connect with? Comment in this post or let me know. I believe in giving back more than taking so never hesitate to reach out! #support #business #marketing #aydinternetmarketing #help #entrepreneurship #opportunity #givingback #linkedin #consulting

Ad trends I predict becoming big in 2019 Advertising works best when we can deliver relevant ads to the customer and that is always my goal as an advertiser. Even I don’t like being sold to if it’s not relevant! That’s why some of the new ad formats and upcoming changes are exciting. Learn more below:... 1. A new ad format is coming out for Google Ads is the Carousel ad like you see on Facebook. That is when you see the multiple pictures and it will appear at the top of search. This ad will create a highly relevant search ad. 2. LinkedIn advertising is really pushing to grow and is now offering Video Ads. The video ads are similar to Facebook and because it's on LinkedIn you get the specific targeting of people based on their roles and positions. There are more changes coming every day to these platforms and the changes to LinkedIn and Google are big this year with a massive Shift. If you haven’t looked into LinkedIn advertising, it is a strong platform for high ticket B2B items.

Is Your Website Working For You? 5 Easy Tips To Make Sure It Is And Increase Your Brand Awareness And Revenue Your website is one of the most important pieces of your marketing because it is used by Google to determine where your online content appears in search results. Its other critical function is making it easy for people to connect with you. Here are 5 simple and effective changes that will make your website better for your customers:... The first is to make sure you have a highly visible Call To Action when a customer lands on your home page. It can be a call button or an intake form depending on your business. You have 3-5 seconds to capture your customer's attention and most of the time if they are READY to buy they will go the next site if it’s hard to contact you. Outline the benefits clearly and make them stand out. Demonstrate the benefit of the benefit as much as possible and tell stories with your content showing how it has helped your customers. Telling stories is very important for business to consumer and not as important if you do business to business, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need a bit of storytelling and personality. Images and videos of your product, team, community events, and anything else you do to show you are human and that you like what you do. If people feel you are doing the job just for the money alone you will still get business but in the long run, you are missing out on a great brand growth opportunity. Post blogs to your site. Make them visual with images and video. People want to read and see who you are and how you solve their challenges. Blog articles will also act as another page on your site to rank for a very niche and specific challenge your customers have. A blog article can become one of your greatest sources of new leads! Make sure the website is Search Engine Optimized. We recommend hiring a professional to do it or consult with your team. You can do it yourself but carefully weigh out the time required to make sure it is not better spent on areas of your business you specialize in. Those are 5 tips that you can implement or we can help you make those changes. Reach out to us to set up a consultation to see how we can help you, and walk away with some ideas to grow your business at the same time!

How to acquire new customers with blogs and videos Write simple articles that address the immediate challenge and don’t make it technical! Focus on what people search for on YouTube and Google and keep the title simple something like How to clean your patio this spring. In the blog article have the following content:... Explain the long-term benefits of your product or service Your process (but don’t give away all your secrets) Sometimes an easy way for them to do it because very often they will call you because your professional service is faster. This is a good way to filter DIY and land higher paying clients. Include a relevant YouTube video if you have one At the end put your website and contact information. Always have a Call-to-action in your blogs. This system will keep working for you and as you keep putting out content there will be more ways for people to find you on Google and social media. This means you will spend less time cold calling and spend less on ads in the long run. #marketing #aydinternetmarketing #advertising #businessdevelopment #businessgrowth #langley #surrey #vancouver #branding #digitalmarketing #branding #video #videomarketing

Why hire A video professional? They will generate you more revenue! They will create compelling videos that will increase your revenue. In today’s world, we all have video cameras at our disposal and you may be tempted to use them to create a video for your business. While you can do that, a professional will create compelling videos that will increase your revenue!... Here are 3 other reasons why you need a videographer: 1. Change of scenery with different lighting between the scenes When the scenes change the camera’s auto correcting light balance is not always 100% accurate and a professional video editor can fix that in post editing. This will make you look your best up front of your audience. 2. You need to be further away from the camera and need better quality sound If the video is not in a quiet and controlled environment such as your office then a professional is required. They have wireless microphones that will create high-quality audio. This can be done wirelessly or synced at a later date using advanced editing software. Either way, good audio allows people to hear your message. Poor audio detracts from your message if they have to guess what you’ve said they don’t hear the next part of your message. 3. To create a more compelling story to increase the urgency and effectiveness of your Call-to-action Professionals will use higher end editing software that gives them greater control over their video editing and the final story. They can mix sound, fix color tone issues, and rearrange the clips for maximum effect with greater precision. A basic video editor such as iMovie is good for removing ums and adding music and text but beyond that, they do not have the ability to do what Adobe Premiere Pro CC can do for your final video. Professionals are also trained to create a quality story that accurately defines your message and sells your business story, beyond that they are also skilled at making sure you look and sound confident which is important when it comes to promoting your business. If you need help with your video editing and want to create a more compelling video that will get more customers, we work with businesses to improve that. If you choose to make your own video, make sure to have good lighting, a quiet environment, and look into the lens as if you are talking to the person watching. Whatever choice you make a video is a powerful way to grow your business and brand. Using a combination of making your own plus some professional is a sure way to get more people asking for your help! #marketing #branding #digitalmarketing #branding #video #videomarketing

I have opened up my Facebook group to any registered business owner due to the interest I have been receiving. To be transparent: It is not really for other agency owners as the content is not focused towards that. Same for MLM as you are best to consult your Uplines due to the rules around marketing.

Quality jobs leads is directly related to your reputation and sales process. What does yours look like? . . Paid advertising and long term organic (SEO) get eyeballs on your company. ... But what do they do when they land on your website, get on a sales call, and is there follow up process? Lead generation and marketing are important to business growth but we have to see the big picture and understand the buying cycle of our prospective buyer also. This is an important step in planning for successful marketing, sales, and advertising campaigns. There is a difference too between all these: 1. Advertising gets attention - Google search Ads for example 2. Marketing - Your website for example that tells people who you are, brand, what you do, the story, etc 3. Sales process - This is what happens after advertising and marketing have been successful because trust and reputation need to be established before ANY sales can happen. #trades #langley #surrey #landscaping #vancouver #contractors #salespipeline #construction #salesmarketing #leadgen #digitalmarketing #ayinternetmarketing #changingthegame #inittogether #businessdevelopment #marketing #branding #marketing #sales #socialmediamarketing

Phone vs Camera (Video made using a phone for demonstration purposes) How to make your own video marketing content (Phone vs Camera) This is a live demonstration of quality between the two and how to maximize phone quality using a tripod and your headset.... Is there a difference between your phone and dedicated camera and microphone? Yes, but is there enough reason to not use your phone? We don't think it's necessary if you are just getting started as long as you use a tripod and your headset and microphone that came with your phone. In the long run, a better setup or professional video is recommended though.

A little marketing humor for you

Thought of the day: This long-form direct response ad worked and got my attention. Then upon further reading, I went through the comments and it was interesting. Sam Oven's, Grant Cardone, and the people fully successful in all areas of their life don't ever say work 24/7. They encourage family time, the gym, and time to eat healthy meals. If 5% of the ad viewers take the free call to action that is high and they will do more than the 95% who laugh and pre-judge without askin...g 'why?' first in the comments. What is your opinion on this ad? What do agree with? What do you disagree with?

This is useful information on hiring people for Search Engine Optimization. This is from Google itself! Bonus update: The poll I ran for social platforms I ran came back with FB as #1. Social signals are one part of SEO that Google uses to verify who you are and if you are a legitimate business. Do you agree Facebook is your #1 preferred social platform?

Thoughts for the evening

You can have all the dreams, plans and resources in the world but if you are surround by people who are going nowhere, YOU won’t get very far. #LevelUp

What is your preferred social platform?
