FMF047 - What Makes Your Business Unique (From Vancouver)

Image
I’ve been in Vancouver with my family for the past seven days, and I have to say that Vancouver is a pretty cool place to visit and it’s surrounded by so much natural beauty, which makes it unique. No wonder it has been named as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Anyway, yesterday we visited the Vancouver Police Museum, which I highly recommend if you’re in Vancouver, and as I was looking through the exhibits and photographs from the early 1900’s, it struck me that so many cities in the same era looked very similar. It’s hard to tell them apart. So, why am I mentioning this? It’s because regardless of how similar they all were in the early 1900’s, over the past 100 years most cities have developed a particular uniqueness or an iconic figure that separates them from each other. If you think of Stanley Park, you think Vancouver. The Golden Gate Bridge, you think San Francisco and closer to home when you see a picture of the Opera House you think immediately Sydney....

FMF045 - Make Hay While The Sun Shines

Image
I'm sure you’ve all heard the saying ‘make hay while the sun shines’, which means making the most of your opportunities while you have the chance to do so or take advantage of favourable circumstances when the time is right. This phrase originated with English farmers in the 1500’s and a hundred or so years later extended into general life and quickly became a cliché. Situations Arise I’ve had a few situations over the past couple months that reminded me of the importance of this saying in our day-to-day lives, regardless of what you do. Situation #1:  I was at a networking event, which was quite loud, meaning I was almost yelling for most of the night. This took its toll on my voice and the next day I was scheduled to do a podcast recording, and I couldn’t talk, so I had to reschedule the podcast for a few days later.   Situation #2:  I went to Podcast Movement in Philadelphia in July and even though I was not talking loud, I was meeting a lot of people an...

FMF044 - Improve Your Google Ranking With Good Content

I’ve had a lot of podcasts guests over the past month, and we’ve talked a lot about Google rankings, getting on page one and improving your SEO, which when we say SEO we mean Google. I get quite annoyed, and my guests shared my frustrations when we hear about businesses paying an SEO company $500 to $1500 per month and not knowing exactly what they are doing for them. What Does Your SEO Company Do? And when I ask, ‘So what is your SEO company doing for you each month’, I get met with the same response. "OH, there…UM, doing some Facebook adverts and Adwords and me, and optimising my website, so it gets ranks better". Okay, so which parts of the website are they optimising? "The parts that were not ranking". What the!!! Page One Estie Rand from Episode 54, said it best – If you’re not on page one, there’s no point, and if you're on page one for something no one is looking for, then it means nothing as well. If you’re using an SEO company, they should be ...
