"Most people don't do this"

Most people don't put in the time, energy, thought and effort required to become a true specialist. Most people will operate as a generalist or specialise in several areas at the same time to hedge their bets.

I found Alastair's honesty refreshing - it isn't supposed to be easy. But a hard day's work hasn't held you back so far, has it?!

Why does Larry Doyle have 17.4k followers on IG?! Well, it could well be the slow cooker p**n and gratuitous dog posts...but more than likely it has something to do with the fact that he has never lost sight of the "social" part of social media.

If you use social media or any digital space for your business, then this episode of the pod is for you.

Larry Doyle is one of the leaders in the space of personal training and fitness optimisation in Ireland and 50% of the team over at Larry Doyle Coaching
I've followed Larry's evolution in the online space for some years now, and he is an example of what can be achieved when you balance a willingness to show up consistently with a commitment to curiosity and experimentation within digital channels.

He has built his online business, grown an affiliate programme and developed a thriving and active following on his social channels, which in turn has allowed him to take a different level of control and clarity in the most important areas of his life.

Larry was amazing to chat with, and I'm so thrilled we got to explore his thriving online business on the pod.

Pssst...I am going to let you in on a teeny, tiny, little secret. This post was shared via the Content Planner tool in Canva.

So yes! In September 2020, Canva rolled out an exciting new feature to their Pro Users in the form of a content planner or scheduling tool.

The best thing?
You can create your social media posts and then schedule them to your social media channels without having to leave Canva. So if you want to make small tweaks or adjustments to the design, you don't have to go through the pain of editing the design, downloading and reuploading to a third party scheduling app.

As we always say - stop burning calories doing work the hard way! For business, social media should be streamlined, efficient and a task you can wrap up and roll out in a matter of hours.

Free account holders - unfortunately this pro feature won't be open to you, but click here and you can try a 30 day upgrade absolutely free.

02/03/2022

So let’s boil this down, because SEO is an area that has a tendency to become hyper-technicalised (it’s a word!) and is misunderstood by many.

First, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation - a process by which you make continuous small improvements to your website to ensure it appears nice and high up in search engine ranking. We are all scrambling to rank number one on the organic search phrases relevant to our industry, and having an SEO strategy is the first step in getting there.

What are some SEO tactics?

Ooof, now, here is where we get into a murky world of SEO tactics, and because Google changes its algorithm on a regular basis, what worked yesterday may not serve you with the same results today. So, while this is not a fix-once-walk-away kinda job, here are some small incremental changes you can make which may drive increased traffic to your site.

1) Optimise your website for speed, user experience, readability and clean, appealing design.
2) Know your audience - Who is your site for? Are they likely to view on mobile or desktop? What action are they likely to take?
3) Refresh the keywords used on key landing pages
4) Have a blog - but make sure your posts are interesting, engaging, relevant, encouraging of onward reading with subheaders, and feature social sharing links.
5) Integrate “backlinks” into your blog posts. Link to credible sources, shout out other businesses etc.
6) Do you use questions as titles on your blog posts? You should!
7) Use your Google Analytics to understand what pages are causing drop off in your traffic or user experience - and then fix those pages!

Why are you paying so much to a 3rd party to boost your SEO?
SEO is a technical skill and requires constantly-evolving knowledge and expertise. Your SEO consultant will need to stay 3 steps ahead of Google’s quiet little updates and implement changes as quickly as possible.
BUT! If you are shelling out shekels and have no idea where they are going or what is being done, this is an issue. Talk to your supplier and make sure you are getting monthly reports and recommendations. SEO should require your input as content development plays a substantial role. If your money is going into a black hole of silence then something ain’t right.

SEO is not PPC
More on this another day, but PPC is Pay Per Click advertising on the Google platform and it is totally different from SEO but the two are often confused.

Final word - build your strategy one tactical brick at a time. Even SEO experts become students again when the algorithm changes, so just pay attention to your site stats…

Are we allowed to say that work with clients can be a two-way street? Well, I'm saying it!

In the time I have worked with Shane Cradock, building his marketing engine and constantly refining the strategic approach, I in turn have had the pleasure of learning from one of the most interesting minds in the world of performance optimisation and leadership coaching.

Shane operates in an extremely cluttered space, so the tactical elements of his communication strategy need to strike a careful balance between forward planning and remaining open to adjustment when required. Shane's innate curiosity means every day's a school day as we constantly learn, improve and grow.

What does your 2022 strategic focus look like? Do you think you might benefit from getting some external insights? Let's chat through it over an e-coffee [email protected]
