Shortcuts get you cut off, from traffic!
Don’t get caught in Trends!
1980 – Telemarketing
1990 – Direct Mailers
2000-2005 Keywords for Search (Google, Yahoo)
2005-2008 Email Marketing, PPC, Banner Ads
2009 – Social Sharing (Facebook, Twitter)
2010 – Social Bookmarking (Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon)
2011 – Video (YouTube, Vimeo, Conferencing)
2012 – Pictures (Pinterest)
Create Genuine Content that utilizes everything,
70% effective across 100% of sources is more effective
then 100% effective across 50% of the sources.
It’s also safer!
