We know business owners who were unable to sleep at night because they were so worried about the damage being done to their businesses by an Internet Boogeyman. Because they had no idea what, if anything they could do about it, there was no relief for their anxiety, fear or hopelessness. Your biggest takeaway is probably going to be the peace of mind that happens when you are prepared to deal with almost anything a current or future Internet Boogeymen could throw at you. Even if you aren’t a “techie” or expert at web marketing strategy, there are some fundamental things you can do to protect everything you’ve worked for. In summary, you will discover: Where and how an Internet Boogeyman is most likely to attack your reputation online (so you can be ready to counter their moves ahead of time). How to set up an “early warning monitoring system” that automatically lets you know when people are talking about you online (so you can respond quickly, appropriately and turn problems into opportunities). How to use social media for business and generate new leads and customers (so you can supercharge your Facebook marketing, Twitter marketing, YouTube marketing, Pinterest marketing and LinkedIn marketing results). How to build a “virtual force-field” around your name and reputation online (so harmful and damaging content posted by an Internet Boogeyman gets bounced so far down search engine result pages that hardly anyone will ever see them). The secrets of creating “search engine friendly” content in different formats (blogs, articles, videos, podcasts, social media posts, etc.) so your prospects find YOUR reasons to buy instead of an Internet Boogeyman’s reasons why they shouldn’t. How your advertising budget can be used against you (so you can prevent competitors from siphoning away YOUR business leads without your knowledge). The best social media and online marketing tools for automating and replacing the time consuming “grunt work” (so YOU get an unfair advantage over your online adversaries). The most common “knee-jerk” tactics and strategies that hurt more than they help (and why you should avoid them, even if they sound tempting.) What to do when traditional public relations, crisis communications and crisis management efforts don’t make your problems go away. We hope you enjoy reading it.
