A Good Resume or A Good Blog?

iyazam — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:06:16 GMT

I have been getting many questions lately from individuals looking for a job and are seeking advice as to what should they focus on when looking for a job or what can they do to impress an employer.

Its interesting to see the two types of job seekers:

1) The resume job seeker

2) The blogger job seeker

The resume job seeker is someone who hopes to get a job based on a good looking resume and of course past experience.

The blogger job seeker is someone who will share his or her knowledge in order to pre-sell themselves to a potential employer.

Lets hear it - whats better in today's economy: a good resume or a good blog?

How Fast Do You Respond To Emails?

iyazam — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:04:37 GMT

How long does it take you to respond to an email? In the world of the internet waiting more then 24 hours is considered a long time!

I believe this is why many businesses fail. So many people suffer from this problem called waiting.

Recent studies have shown that you can get an indication about a person based on this issue of responding to emails. If it takes someone a long time to respond and it happens over and over again - then you know that this person simply doesn't care about your email. Stay away from them and focus on building your business with serious people.

Another issue is when sending someone a lead and they don't even bother to thank you for it. (This has happened to me time and time again when I send people leads and I don't even receive a thank you.) This shows that the person who you are sending a lead lacks appreciation and this tells me not to send anymore leads their way.

Why is that? Because I want to send leads to people who are serious and to people who mean business.

One of the most interesting things that I have seen in the world of business is that those people who are super successful - also find the time to respond to emails on time. Even if its a small note. For the industry leaders this has become a habit and they know very well that its these little things that build a business.

http://www.iyazam.com/who-is-brian-tracy.html points out that when a prospect or who ever it may be sees that you are responding quickly - they see that you care about them and this attracts them to do business with you.

So the next time someone sends you an email...Don't Wait! respond as fast as you can.

Website Designers are not SEO'ers

iyazam — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:02:33 GMT

Lets face the facts: People who build websites are not SEO'ers. I know...the web designer promised you that he will create an "optimized site that will be on page 1" within no time. (You've probably heard the old joke: Web designers keep the SEO people in business....)

Over the past few weeks I've met with a few Start-ups that invested lots of money in building a company website. Now that its time for marketing they can't figure out why no one is contacting them through Google or why they can't even find themselves in Google.

After one look at their website I am already thinking to myself - here is another sad story of a company that paid thousands of dollars for a website they have no control over and will most likely need to create a new one.

Most web design firms don't deal with the SEO aspects of building a website. This will backfire on you in the long run! When you are sitting down to meet with the web designer the topic of discussion should be: What are the critical elements for creating an SEO Google friendly website, what will be the ingredients that will help your website get found in the search engines etc.. These should be the web designers first comments. If the web designer is not talking about these issues - may this serve as a red light to you.

The Web Designer of today must be a true master in the field of SEO. There is no need to do the work twice. Its always better to do it once and right the first time!

If you need a true affordable Web Designer & SEO person (the ideal situation) I can recommend someone just for you!
