Yet I also know, at some point to make that growth into 7-figures and beyond to 10-figures, you need something that properly reflects the professionalism of your brand. Even until then, fixing some of these most common DIY website mistakes can mean a better experience for your prospects and customers, help them retain your information, and while increasing the "prettiness" of your website design doesn't directly relate to more sales, making these errors can mean fewer sales because your site will be less user-friendly. Here are 16 of the most common design mistakes I see most often on DIY websites.

It's one of the concepts of #attraction marketing and #thesecret . Even with as crazy of a year that 2020 has been, we all have so much to be grateful for! What's something that you're going to be expressing gratitude for over the #Thanksgiving holiday? #marketing #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing As mentioned in the video: the Rocketbook planner I use https://amzn.to/35QqcGG My client's gratitude meditation app (it's free!) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id461484572

When Should You Choose a Marketing Coach versus a Virtual Assistant? You may need both, and sometimes at the same time. That's why with our services we offer packages with both - the strategy and vision of a CMO combined with the lower-priced implementation of a VA. It lets you get a lot more bang for your buck because not only is your marketing done efficiently, but it's done strategically. I'm sharing the biggest differences between the two, and the exact questions that you need to be answering for yourself to understand which will work best for you with where you are in your business right now. #marketing #marketingstrategy #cmo #virtualassistant #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing #business #growth #scale #sixfigureincome

⭕ A Marketing Mythbuster - find out why this isn't true! Marketing Myth: It Worked For Someone Else (or That Coach) So it Will Work for Me Too Be sure to SUBSCRIBE so that you're always notified of the latest marketing updates. Many things play into any marketing campaign or strategy. The old saying, when the only tool you have is a 🔨 hammer then everything looks like a nail. No one marketing campaign is going to work for everyone. Differences can cross: ✔️Industries ✔️B2B vs B2C ✔️Company size ✔️Customer demographics ✔️Customer needs ✔️Your unique company 🛑 As an example, there is a practice touted by some other website companies that we just won't do - it's great to get them income but not always great for you. 😓 And why having only one marketing strategy that you can implement may be a bigger headache than you realize - and double the work. 🔥 You can get a lot more marketing tips on our blog https://vickywu.us/blog Or schedule a call to discuss your marketing strategy needs! https://vickywu.us/free-consultation #marketing #entrepreneur #marketingstrategy #business #marketingcampaign

⭕ A Marketing Mythbuster - find out why we DO NOT recommend that you always add another software / platform / app! Marketing Myth: More Marketing Tools Always Helps Your Business One of my pet peeves is seeing when a prospect comes to us, and they've had coaches and vendors and marketers over the years have them add more and more software and apps to their processes. Technology is meant to make our lives easier, yet what happens is the client ends up having to duplicate work and enter information into multiple systems. Stop right there! There are only FOUR software platforms that I really need in my business if you get right down to it (and you probably don't need the first one). And anything else better work with these others, or I'm likely saying no. 1. Adobe Creative Cloud - I already had this for years before opening my own business, and it's a requirement for anyone in my field, although you may not need this one. https://bit.ly/3fYq8qL 2. Website - this is the first thing specifically for my new company that I set up. I always recommend you own your website AND your own hosting, and I recommend Bluehost http://bit.ly/2VEQgAd 3. For blast email marketing I always recommend Mailchimp http://eepurl.com/cwNWK9 4. A CRM can be your best friend for automating pieces of the sales process, and my favorite (for unlimited automatic workflows) is Dubsado https://www.dubsado.com/?c=vickywu 5. My one extra? Squirrly Social - allows evergreen posting of recurring content plus other social scheduling https://my.squirrly.co/go134967 As a bonus, we offer our clients our in-house landing page platform.

Explaining the Latest Conspiracy Theory with SEO Have you seen this post? Or done the search? I never thought I'd say this... there's a conspiracy (or "fake news") theory going around, that I can completely explain with some of the newest pieces of Google's search engine algorithm. Even if you're not into conspiracy theories, understanding how this works is really important for your own website and SEO. These are the types of strategies that we teach you in our "New SEO Accelerator". Our next session is opening soon - so get on the waitlist at https://vickywu.us/#newseo Try the search mentioned in the video, and let me know in the comments what you found.

Amazon has always been the place where you could find almost anything, at a good price (or at least the normal price) and with quick shipping. Anyone could become an entrepreneur who bought wholesale and then sold on Amazon at normal retail prices. I'm seeing a trend moving in a different direction. This can't be all because of quarantine - many of the items I viewed have nothing to do with that. So what's up? And if Amazon becomes the "overpriced" marketplace - not because of their own business practices but because of the sellers who use the platform - what will that do to Amazon's business model and long-term sales? What do you think? Let me know in the comments. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE so that you always receive the latest marketing tips!

See what I found when I checked these pages: Neil Patel Rachel Hollis Russel Bruson Rachel Pedersen Dean Graziosi Gary Vanyerchuck There's good news - you don't need to worry so much about engagement.

Don't Cut THIS Business Expense During a Recession! As entrepreneurs and small businesses are looking to tighten their belts and trim expenses to weather the recession, which is a solid business practice. We've mentioned why marketing expenses should be the last thing to cut (less competition can mean your marketing is even more effective!), but there are some smaller expenses that many not seem quite so important and you feel comfortable cutting away. This shouldn't be one of them - it can quickly and easily cost you a LOT LOT LOT more in the long-term if you don't pay attention! I've written about this before, and had the question come up again recently with a client. https://vickywu.us/just-because-its-online-doesnt-mean-you-can-use-it/ #marketing #entrepreneur #business #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #recession #dontmakethismistake
