Eternal clockOne of the things I hear most often when I talk to people about promoting their websites themselves, is that it ‘takes too much time’ and they ‘don’t know where to start’.

Well, while I can see where they’re coming from on the second point, the first one doesn’t ring true with me. It’s not about spending loads of time every day, it’s about doing SOMETHING every day and seeing the effort pile up and bring results. It’s about not giving in because you ‘don’t have the time’ and not putting things off because you’re ‘not sure how’.

Toy sampling megaphoneIt’s 2010 and a great way to create hype and recognition of your product or service this year is to involve the blogosphere.

We’ve worked with quite a few clients in 2009 who gave away free samples of their products or services in return for reviews, generating backlinks, great articles, traffic and in turn buyers for very little outlay.

Good blog reviews on sites with lots of traffic in your niche market can create great buzz, great traffic and obviously sales.

So why not try it this year?

Why I finally got around to a Facebook Fan Page

fbDespite setting up and running numerous Facebook Fan pages for various clients, I had always said that NikkiPilkington.com had no need for one.

In my eyes, in as much as we ‘have’ a brand, that brand is me – and I like to think the fact that I’m fairly open has helped people to learn more about me, to feel that they know me, and to trust me with their internet marketing and promotion.

If I’m having  a bad day then in general people know about it – and by the same token if I’m having a fab day then I shout about that too.

Of course I charge for what I do – I run a business!

Mad about the BanPeople’s reactions to my job / business frequently amuse me, but none more so than the responses to various promotional links I place in the places I network online.

As some of you know, yesterday I wrote a list of “10 Things You can Post on Your Facebook Fan Page” – and at the end of it is a promo for a special offer we’re running on setting up Facebook Business / Fan pages.

Last night I posted a status update on Facebook mentioning this, and received the following response from someone:

Self pity is no substitute for hard work (or get your head out of your ar&e and stop feeling sorry for yourself!)

headUpArseA couple of things over the past couple of days have put me in mind of something someone said to me a long long time ago.

No-one in this life will give you anything – you have to work for it

I don’t know if the quote came from a philospopher, a film, a song, or whatever – but it’s something I’ve carried around with me ever since.

Recently I’ve had a couple of conversations that have made me want to trot out this observation, although in one of the cases I kept my mouth shut :)
