2010 - Brings on Confusing Marketing !!

THE MAD SCRAMBLE HAS BEGUN

I received a piece of gobbilygook in the mailbox the other day. This postcard had some inane scribble on it that defined some sort of "offer" I think -- the message was unclear and then of course-- there was no phone number as to how to respond. It was for a telecom service I think.... one thing was crystal clear on this postcard. There was a logo on it.

What that does for me I cannot begin to tell you. It filled me with questions that would no doubt go unanswered. I threw it away in the garbage and went onto the next piece of mail.... and repeated this cycle.

This is what many companies have chosen to do rather than deal with their own marketing situation. This is not the way to handle a marketing dilmema.

GET DIRECT WITH YOUR PUBLIC
Don't dance around rejection. EMBRACE IT. Get to the bottom of your marketing. If you are going to get rejected than do it quick and get on with it. I like to test sales copy head on and see if it is going to bomb right away. If I wrote a lemon I would rather find out about it sooner than later.

January is gone kids.....

Stop entertaining yourselves... get out there and sell something.

SEO is No Mystery - Just Build Better Stuff !!

I'm almost through picking out the last of the sharp arrows out of my back. A lot of you guys out there are disgruntled and upset that there isn't one pill or magic powder that can elevate your search engine rankings.

(poor little sausages...)

The truth is there is no one way to do it. There is no wrong way to do it. There is no RIGHT way to do it. There is always some mumbling about using keywords. But more importantly you have to know this one thing....

There is a number formula for getting your pages to pop up properly. Without that number it is going to be difficult to get any kind of results.

I tell people all the time. Just build better content. But more importantly you should write it for an actual human being. There is something to be said about writing your content to please the search engine bots. But these can be troublesome to read and can actually inspire brain damage if done poorly.

Ahem..... enough jibber jabber....
Lets look at the pretty video....

Its 2010 - and Ted Cantu Still Doesn't Have a Job - THANKS DETROIT !!!

A lot of guys would be P.O'd to be out of work this long. Lets face it folks, as far as work goes, I am a long lost memory. Added to the fact that there are NO JOBS IN MICHIGAN -- but I am actually pretty grateful.

In the grand scheme of things - I have actually profited from this. I predict in the next 10 years I will still be unemployed -- in fact I am counting on it. There are a number of top hitting companies on my resume that scare off potential bosses. You got the Big Six firms on there like EY, Arthur Andersen, and then Capital Records and WWF. This has got to send an HR person screaming at the top of their lungs.

They cannot afford me.

Detroit hasn't really been there for me once I crossed the line into super stardom. The companies are still kicking around low digits so I couldn't commit. The last advice a radio station gave me was that I was only worth a couple of grand a year.... I think it was around 15k total. He also advised that I should take the job.

But I had to agree to.. DISAGREE.

MOTOR CITY LIVING HAS TOUGHENED ME UP
I know when I wake up tomorrow the phone will be dead. My agents have long left me and there are no fires to put out in corporate america at the 6 figure level. But that doesn't meant that I am out of action. You see - by 9 am tomorrow morning I am going to be generating some serious numbers.... from my modest office.

I can do this because I am wired to the gills online. I got so many potential business leads out there that it is a little scary. I got press releases, people on command and on speed dial that will not only bring me money when I need it but also connect me to bigger deals when I need it.

I can thank the Internet for that.

And my dear friends, I am only beginning.
