It’s Time to Boost Your Visibility!

As I remind my clients from time to time, especially when they’re feeling overwhelmed with social marketing, if your business cannot be found online, then it’s like you’re invisible. And if you’re invisible, then your potential clients, the people you want to serve, will find someone else to work with, because there’s plenty of competition out there.

It’s important to get out there consistently so you’ll be found and there are a lot of ways to do that. In the 1:34-minute video below, you’ll hear a bit about what I have to say about invisibility and visibility… [Read more…]
