  • Create an Avatar to Focus Your Marketing

    In the era of mass marketing it was difficult to target your audience. Newspaper and magazine advertising covered a large sector of the population and you had to hope that your target audience was amongst the readers. At this time even the Ford Motor Company didn’t have the resources to make their advertising efficient. The…

  • Have a Clear Customer Journey

    It’s the middle of summer for those of us in the northern hemisphere and the roads, rails and airways are probably at their busiest in terms of holiday traffic. Think about the last time you planned a holiday trip. Then think about the last time you thought about how your customers will move through your…

  • Can I Use That Image?

  • Email Metrics: What Should You Measure?

    I have been working on my email sequences to run alongside the two products I hope to launch later this year. It’s something I have to keep leaving and returning to.

  • Three ways to stand out online

    As someone with practically zero presence online at the moment I’ve been thinking about how people in the internet marketing niche manage to stand out. I’m sure there are a number of factors. Here are three that I’ve identified. 1) the internet seems full of information and everyone sharing their ideas and opinions. Amongst this…

  • April Fools Online

    I’m writing this post a little later in the day than usual. Mainly so that I could lay low and avoid any April Fools pranks, but also so that I’ve had enough time to look around to see if there are any good pranks online.   The Gmail Shelfie Google have announced the Gmail Shelfie,…
