Increasing virtual real estate

If you have read this blog in the last 6 months you would have read me use the term virtual real estate. As I said then I did not coin the word but like it some much, I try and use it whenever I find an excuse.

I have been thinking about a post like this for a while and think it is a good time to write it. I have been speaking with a few clients or late about how they can increase their exposure online without spending lots of money.

A few conversations later I have come up with a few ideas an… Continue

Build mini niche websites

Build a niche website around one of your main products. In this way you can drive as second site up the rankings. Using Wordpress as a Content Management system allows you to deploy a good quality, low cost website that is easy to manage and update.

Also being a focussed site allows the search engines to easily rank for one particular product. Maybe it is a small niche insurance product such as 4x4 Insurance or Modified cars.

Using Wordpress gives you lots of flexibility and allows you to crea… Continue

Social Media and It's Effect on Customer Service

From ALL FACEBOOK RSS:

The Community Platform API
Up until now the Facebook API has mostly been related to users, their relationships, and their profiles. In other words it’s the social graph API. Facebook Pages is the community platform for businesses. That perspective will help Facebook differentiate itself from Twitter (who has rapidly become a customer relations communications tool) and also justify the opening of API features for Pages.

One other thing to suggest that this won’t happen is… Continue

The Many Ways of Attracting Insurance Leads

Even during our current economic conditions, a lot of people are still purchasing their own insurance policies. One reason is that their insurance policy can serve as their bargaining chip when they come up short on expenses. For instance, a person’s health insurance covers most of the bills whenever they fall ill. Second, it adds a strong layer of security and protection over them. Insurance can entice them to take more travels since they know they are insured. They can even use the insurance p… Continue

It'a finally done

I finally reached black belt in taekwondo after 3 years of hard work. Now, if anything, the 5 tenets of success (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit) have taught me to be patient and not to lose sight of my long term goals. This industry can be brutal and weeds out the ones not fit. God willing, I will be here another 13 years.

As Recently Reported to ZZOOMM:

Barack Obama at a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas, asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence..'

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: ''Well, dumb _ _ _, st… Continue
