Hi there this is Teena Hughes of BizMarketinginaBox.com -- and my PODCAST called BUILD A BRAND, NOT JUST A WEBSITE. Today is Podcast EPISODE 13 and I have three questions from business owners which you might find interesting. Every single day business and website owners are faced with a ton of demands on their time, which can be pretty overwhelming. I get many questions, and I'd like to share a couple I've received from folks just like you. The first is about Sally who got a great writeup in the press, but didn't have a sign-up form on her site to capture some leads from all the traffic generated. The second is about Barry, a local plumber, who doesn't have a website. The third is about Dave, an 80 year old chap who's written a book and is selling it via his website - but his arthritis is a problem when he wants to update his website, so I came up with an easy solution for him. Maybe you'll have some tips too. Don't forget -- if you have any questions, suggestions or comments, I'd LOVE to hear from you! Ciao

Hi there this is Teena Hughes of BizMarketinginaBox.com -- and my PODCAST called BUILD A BRAND, NOT JUST A WEBSITE. Today is Podcast EPISODE 12, and it's the first Podcast of 2014 - woohoo! I'd like to chat with you about why it's important to CHECK YOUR WEBSITE LINKS. Every now and then a link might break for any number of reasons, and today I was trying to subscribe to a Newsletter online and the link was broken.  This inspired me to talk to you about taking action at the start of this new year -- that's right, check your own website's links to make sure they're ALL working as required. After you check the Home age of your site, dig deeper and check out the internal pages on your website. If someone lands on your site (after you've done a GREAT job with your marketing, of course) you don't want them to click away if they click a broken link. So that's your homework - I'd love to hear how you get on, whether you find any links which need fixing or updating. Don't forget -- if you have any questions, suggest

Hi there this is Teena Hughes of BizMarketinginaBox.com -- and my PODCAST called BUILD A BRAND, NOT JUST A WEBSITE. Today is EPISODE 11, and it's all about 10 GREAT APPS WHEN YOU'RE ON THE ROAD As some of you might be aware, I've recently moved from one city in Australia to another, and it was about 2,000kms of driving (that's about 1,240 miles). I've driven much further in the past, but never with a "smart phone" - my trusty iPhone 4S, so this trip was even more interesting because I could get some benefit out of Apps I'd installed on my phone.  I thought some of you might be interested to know which Apps I used the most, so today I've come up with a list of 10 for you. Let me know if you'd like to recommend of your own favourites, post on iTunes, my website, Facebook or Twitter - I'd love to hear about other great Apps. That's it for today, so ciao ciao for now, from Teena Hughes http://BizMarketinginaBox.com

Hi there this is Teena Hughes of BizMarketinginaBox.com -- and this is my PODCAST called BUILD A BRAND, NOT JUST A WEBSITE. Today is EPISODE 10, and I'd like to talk about REDOING YOUR WEBSITE and things to watch out for. Today I got a call from a business associate, Stephen - we'd recently been talking about a client who is considering updating their website, and who also needs SEO and Content Marketing done to boost their position in the search engine results. The client had outlined his proposed way forward -- but has he really looked at the big picture? Is he missing some crucial steps? Listen in to find out what I recommend before anyone does anything to change his current website. Grab a copy of my "Top 16 Questions to Ask Before Building or Redoing a Website" - it's a free PDF download at: http://BizMarketinginaBox.com/reports Have a good one! Ciao ciao for now, Teena Hughes

When a customer is upset or angry, they might post about it on social media -- and this could damage your reputation. The best way to deal with this is ask every customer for feedback, and resolve all issues fast. Sometimes people post fake comments, hoping to hurt your reputation. Here are a few more tips which might help in either scenario, and if you need to seriously start tracking your online reputation, I've got a Report with step-by-step instructions which might help you. As always, if you have questions or comments, please post them on iTunes or any of my social networks or website. Cheers Teena Hughes http://bizmarketinginabox.com/reports

Everyone's so concerned about "being on page 1 of Google", and in this podcast I discuss a different way to look at things. Being number 1 on Page 1 isn't all it's cracked up to be if your web visitors don't convert to customers, and if Google algorithms change every couple of weeks or months. Let's look at a more sustainable way to be found online with excellent content marketing. Teena Hughes http://bizmarketinginabox.com

One of the biggest topics I get asked about is website traffic, and how to get masses of it. I'd like to ask you this - if you DID get endless traffic, how would you make it CONVERT on your website? Getting traffic is easy, but converting website visitors into customers is a whole other kettle o'fish :-) Teena Hughes http://bizmarketinginabox.com

I've changed podcast hosting companies as my last one didn't do all that I needed :-) I'm now very happy with my new one, it was worth all the time I spent researching what all the great podcasters use, so this is just a 'sample' podcast to test the new place. Thanks for you patience! Teena Hughes http://bizmarketinginabox.com

This week I want to share with you some of the many ways you can take your content (blog posts, pages, PDFs, slideshows etc) and RE-USE them by turning them into something else like audio files, videos, ebooks etc. You'll be amazed at what you can do with with you've already written or created!

Posting a series of videos on Youtube about "simple SEO" was a great idea, and one guy was so excited after watching the videos that he rang me at night to tell me! If you haven't started using video marketing yet, you should - really - there's no excuse any more. Creating simple videos about your office, staff, products and services make you appear approachable and friendly, so that when people are doing their research online, they'll stay longer on your site because they like how normal and down-to-earth you are. Listen to my story of Ted, his SEO trials and tribulations, and his eventual success - I think you'll enjoy it! Cheers Teena Hughes - http://Bizmarketinginabox.com
