I completely agree on focusing on improving workflows. Many times we fail to see how inefficient we work, though stick to the same methods, just ‘because’. Regarding, I tried it out, though its a bit strange for an SEO person I think since it basically tracks time. However, if you take facebook for instance, I use it both for work and leisure throughout the day. What good will telling I spent ‘x’ amount of minutes on it do me? I prefer using something like Toodledo which allows me to set a number of tasks i need to do per day, and then judge my performance on whether i finished my work.

I can’t think of a reason an SEO that in not strictly working on technical implementation inhouse somewhere wouldn’t grasp onto integrated marketing as an approach, but the reality is we see this everyday. It is really what is going to separate the big winners from the losers over the next few years.

And I LOVE that inclusion of workflow development here. It is the most underrated piece of the marketing pie.

New Year’s resolutions rarely stick. While it’s a romantic notion to set out new goals in conjunction with a fresh year – they are often doomed to failure.
Why not make resolutions when you are inspired, and they are realistic? Much better that way.

“the more you can integrate each of your different marketing channels, the more motion you’re going to build your for your business”

This is a big one for me this year. As someone who works full time, plus has multiple online business in vastly different niches, I’m leaning toward integrating most things into just using my real name vs. each venture’s identity.

Given new platforms like Google+ based on your real name(usually), and the impending social media impact on all our marketing efforts going forward, it seems a better way to actually build your personal brand and be known as an interesting individual with multiple talents, rather than a drone for niche1 , niche2, etc.
Your thoughts?

Lisa,

I think I love you. ;)

I love this post, I tell people goals not resolutions all the time. I have a follow-up post I was percolating on that I will have to get out now, because I felt I should have been more constructive. Its just that I have made goal setting and discipline core to my existence and I know it is hard for people to change, in their work and personal life. Often true change comes at the cost of either really painful experiences, or something much deeper than the beginning of a new calendar year.

Here’s to you an me getting our gym time in after the 3 weeks of resolution pain.

So I did make an SEO Resolution and I’m sticking to it.

I’m producing 100 videos in 100 days answering 100 questions about Insurance. I’m uploading the videos to YouTube and then posting them with a brief intro and Call-to-Action on my Agency’s website.

This will take us from 2 blog posts to 102 blog posts in a little over 3 months. We needed an Adrenaline shot to the heart of our Website and this was the best I could come up with.

But I’m keeping this resolution, but I am a Pimp, An Insurance-Video-Making-Question-Answering-Blog-SEO Pimp…

But I agree on everyone staying out of the Gym.
