How to Get Better Visibility on the Web
Sleep has been on my mind. In the Inner Fire program that Dr. Ellen Britt and I recently ran, one topic was how to optimize your sleep. I mentioned I was experimenting with blue light blocking glasses since blue light can have a detrimental effect on your vision and sleep.
It all started with an email I sent out to my list. Then I posted it on my blog.
I was feeling the anxiety of so many colleagues and clients as we grapple with doing … maintaining … business in the age of coronavirus. Many people I know are suffering from a sudden drop in business. Clients deciding to pull back until life becomes certain again.

If you’re starting to read the “what’s going to be hot in 2020 for digital marketing” articles, you’ll see videos have a prominent place. It makes me laugh because “video” has been touted as the next hot thing for over a decade.
Now, though it is mainstream, I’d say. Every social media platform accommodates video now. The stats prove that consumers watch and want more video content. This means if you’re not creating videos for social media, for your blog posts and for your marketing, then you’re missing out on a lot of business.

It was a busy and short week for me, after spending a few days in Northern California celebrating family birthdays with lots of delicious food, wine and a stay at the historic Claremont Hotel in the Oakland Hills above Berkeley. But never fear, I kept up with with my explorations on the web, reading and experimenting with new software.
