Hot Chicks Don’t Get Dates

May 25, 2010 by Doug Mitchell · Leave a Comment

If your first thought about your website is looks…you’ve already wasted money.

Being another pretty face doesn’t mean you get dates. There’s the intimidation factor: ”She’s way too hot to take my call or go out with me.”

Then there’s the already taken factor: “Well she’s so hot she obviously has someone.”

The people who are really active daters, engaging with lots of people, exploring possibilities, and having lots of conversations are attractive, engaging, and dynamic…but not so hot that they’re unapproachable.

Be the website that a lot of substance and depth behind its attractive face and you’ll get dates and possibly even enter some long term relationships far more often.

Hey so does this blogging and social media thing really drive new business?

December 15, 2008 by Doug Mitchell · 1 Comment

If you dive into blogging and social media with a pure “get more riches quickly” plan you’ll quickly burn out and give up.

If you refuse to keep up your end of the bargain, you will rot on the blog vine.

But if you have a good plan and a great site as a foundation and you simply share yourself and your excellent brand with the world, bring value to others, and provide open a two-way dialog with you market…great things happen.

Our client Ryan Irwin at Nutrisport – Full Potential training just told me today that another client contacted him after finding his web site and videos through google searches (the way most things are found these days right?) Well get this…his new client is a few states away so Ryan has gone regional with his nutritional and training guidance in his super niche training people for natural fitness and bodybuilding shows.

So by sharing knowledge, providing value to a world of people you’ve never met, connecting through blogs and social media tools like twitter, and following through on a good online findability strategy…Ryan Irwin IS GROWING his business in our current economy.

That’s some serious mojo and we’re proud to be associated with him. Right on team!
