"Blogging 2.0" covers the Basics of Blogging and Blogging Best Practices to make sure you're creating valuable content your potential clients will WANT to read & share!

We also discussed the SEO Process and How to Optimize Your Blog for search engines as well as users!

We talked a lot about Syndication and Social Media Marketing.  This presentation provides a ton of valuable resources to help you syndicate your blog to all your various social networking profiles, how to integrate RSS feeds, and how to let readers share your content for you!

We also shared 'tricks of the trade' so you can set up 'Listening Channels' to monitor your brand, your industry, and your competition!

There's a lot of information to process, but if you follow the advice in this presentation, your blog will help to generate LOTS of traffic (and lots of LEADS) to your website and business!

We discussed Facebook Fan Pages; what they are, why they're good for business, how to create one, and how to get people to 'Like' your page (aka 'Become a Fan').  We covered the brand new changes to Facebook Privacy Settings (yes, they changed AGAIN); how create 'Friend Lists' to categories the types of people you associate with on Facebook (friends, family, clients, etc.) and how to completely customize who sees what on your profile utilizing these lists.  Once your employees view this slideshow, they will know how to protect their privacy and be more willing to 'Like' the company Fan Page and interact with it.  This presentation was designed with businesses in mind, but is valuable to anyone with a Facebook profile!

When a user registers on your site, what's the first thing you do? How do you follow up? How many times? How often should you reach out to your customers? The answers to these questions and the techniques you use will make a big difference in how you can convert leads into deals. As part of this presentation, we'll also look at some of the tools you will use when following up and how to use them most effectively. We’ll be looking at sites that efficiently convert users into leads. We’ll also discuss how leads are best incubated, and we’ll delve into a concept we’ve been preaching here at Boston Logic for years: consistency of the user experience.

What is the Best Free Web Stat Tracker?

Google Analytics is the standard. We use it for our clients and thoroughly.

How to move an existing wordpress blog but wants to new domain name?

Wordpress has some pretty simple export/import tools that make it easier to grab your content from one blog, shut down that old blog, and import the posts into the new wordpress deploy. It very important that you take down the old blog. So, if you had a blog at realestate.wordpress.com and you moved it to yoursite.com/wordpress, make sure that they old site at wordpress.com is completely gone. Otherwise, the search engines will think that you're posting duplicate content and this will hurt your ranking potential

How can I get people to become fans of my Facebook Business Page?

Start with the people you know. Send them a suggestion to become a fan of your business on Facebook. Next, make sure you have a link on every page of you website to become your fan on Facebook. Also, don't overlook your email signature. Put a link at the bottom of your emails for recipients to click in order to become your fan. Also, include the link in your newsletters or drip emails. As a rule of thumb, when someone is consuming content that you produced, you should present them with an opportunity to follow, friend, become your fan, etc.

With so much information out there, do you find people get turned away when you ask them to register?

This is an age old question. I'll probably write a longer blog post on this soon. Basically, it works like this. If you want the maximum number of leads, then you need to ask them to register before giving them access to the data. If you want to only speak with people who have clicked on a contact form and indicated interest or picked up the phone, then you can leave the doors wide open. We argue that having more leads gives you a greater opportunity to market over time and convert. So, we generally suggest to require sign-ups to view search results.

What are some Free or Cheap Mass Email services?

Boston Logic is partnered with both Constant Contact and iContact. We recommend both. Also, our ONE System can be integrated with either platform.
