I'm a web entrepreneur, social media marketer, search engine optimization specialist, web developer, and interface designer. I know, it's a lot. All it really means is I use my knowledge of how this stuff works under-the-hood to help my clients build their online presence or leverage the internet to grow their business. You can checkout my projects page to see some of what I am up to, in the meantime I hope you enjoy my blog! Read more...
Should be don’t post inconsistently or don’t stop posting. At the very least it’s somewhere in-between those two ideas. There’s a great reason for why you should post consistently. Namely, if you don’t post consistently it will cause your subscriber count to stagnate faster than Tiger Wood’s personal life. The analogy still works because numbers [...]
Recently I’ve been noticing a number of clients have been sending out marketing oriented e-mails to their mailing lists without really tracking how many people are clicking their links (conversions). This makes me particularly sad because I am such a fan of measuring and fine tuning marketing and processes. In most cases, the reason clients [...]
We had a great turnout for our Facebook webinar at Talk this week. My initial concern was that I ended up packing it with too much information, but not in a good way. You know, like when you are making a PB&J but you add too much J and it spills over onto your hands [...]
Normally I write a few posts over the weekend, but this weekend I got a little behind because Stacy and I were having too much fun getting our [much belated] engagement photos taken for our wedding in March. We don’t have them all up yet, as we’re waiting for them to be developed, but our [...]
I did some more digging after my recent post discussing a kind of facebook optimization to improve chances of showing up in the News Feed (FB’s biggest viral point) and came upon a great post on Shoemoney. The post on Shoemoney is only looking at Pages, but brings to light 2 very interesting points that [...]
It means your online marketing is no longer just about what you post, it’s about when you post it. And it means that search engine optimization and making sure you can be found online will become even more important. Those two sentences above may seem simple and may not mean much to you know, but [...]
I spent a good couple of hours today really delving into the depths of Facebook Pages today and how to really optimize them. Not like the lame guides on “facebook optimization” that entails changing your landing page for the 40th time or making sure you have all your info filled out. I’m talking about how [...]
I am back from onething Raleigh. It was an awesome conference. I love observing how organizations operate and how God operates. Also had a blast meeting up with some friends in Raleigh. Some good times were had by all! More posts coming soon… I seem to have misplaced my list of topics to write about [...]
It will be all quiet on the eastern front tonight and this weekend, probably through Monday. I will be heading up to Raleigh for the onething09 conference that’s taking place there over the weekend. If anyone else is going to be up there, let’s meet up! Just tweet me @NathanSnell.
Anytime there is an algorithm in place, there is a system to be gamed. If this weren’t true, search engine optimization wouldn’t exist, and neither would a digg top-list, or most other internet marketing tactics for that matter. That’s why when Facebook first introduced its Highlights section I got very excited. The Highlights section meant [...]
