Long ago I made a presentation at the New York Web Standards Meetup group. See below and enjoy.
Selling for clients online
As a website consultant, I often work in different roles. Marketer, liaisons manager, researcher, administrator, IT trainer and the list can go on. Some roles I find comfort in, some I detest and in many I find opportunity.
A retail website client needed to invest resources for his new website but he was facing difficulties in marketing his products online. He realized that he also needed a dedicated a dedicated employee to maintain and run his website. Social media and search engine marketing was not aware of either.
I encouraged him to be active on his website and start getting returns on his investment but he could never find time to do so. For him, the online store was another responsibility and other priorities that he needs to address. He couldn’t give any time to it.
As Albert Einstein once said “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity”. I proposed a solution to him in which I will update his website regularly with new products, do social media and search engine marketing and make his website popular online. He will get all this in return of a percentage of sales he does on the website.
It has been a month now and the sales are increasing. The website statistics show over 50% growth in traffic and I see a future of good sales of his product through the website. It is a lot of work in the beginning but I foresee good return on my investments too.
Hello world! Launching my new website
After a long term effort in finding time to update my own website, I have finally succeeded it launching the new version of it.
It has been more than two years in New York and life in this city has been fast. Many accomplishments and some disappointments. The lessons learned are valuable in being progressive and looking forward. More like the learned skate boarders who know how to skate well because they know how to fall, learn from it and carry on.
Looking ahead, I see that relationships in professional and personal life are the most important. How we interact with each other and more importantly, how we give and take from each other becomes a significant part of our relationships.
This city takes a lot from an individual and gives little. It teaches an individual to constantly be in the loop of its momentum. As long as it lasts, I’m striving to make the best of it with my life partner and our adopted member Kerttu.
