“Give yourself a treat with something different next time you’re ready to read. Try Rarity from the Hollow. It is one of the most unusual novels I’ve read in a great while. Look in on a dysfunctional family, poverty, child abuse, and the thought processes of a young girl turning the corner from childhood to adolescence, then put them all together in a surreal setting that looks at our society from a distinctly different viewpoint. You’ll enjoy the ride with Lacy Dawn and friends and family, but don’t expect the ride to be without bumps and enough food for thought to last you a long time.”

“only after…should you start worrying about search engine optimization”

SEO should begin before all that. It should begin with the choice of name and domain because those choices will have a huge impact on your ability to honestly optimize your website and reach your customers.

And reaching your customers is why you optimize your website. Reaching your customers should be built into your business plan.

That’s like saying you shouldn’t worry about marketing until you have something to advertise.

Ries & Trout’s Positioning is just one work that points to the power of not waiting till later when considering how your business will be viewed by customers and will reach customers.

That said, I’m in total agreement with your approach of focusing on value for your customers. However, I do feel you’re more valuable the easier you are to find and most folks find stuff through search engines, so good, honest SEO is also about creating value for customers.

Great points. As a search engine marketer myself that is usually the first question I ask my clients. What is it that distinguishes you from the rest of the pack – what is your value? They generally think long and hard.

It is from this core understanding that we do in fact develop an online marketing campaign for them.

J.T.: you could give away resume writing tips in a blog. You could show before and after sample resumes that demonstrate value and give ideas for how people can rewrite their own resumes too. You could write a PDF booklet with resume tips — have people register to download with contact information then you can follow up to see if they’d like to hire you for help.

Think of your work as resume writing expertise rather than the resume writing itself and then there are tons of ways you can create and show value.

I like this! I might use Squidoo to bolster some of the freelance work I do! Thanks!

But, what I wonder is how could I do this with Resume writing? You can’t obviously give people a free resume, so any suggestions?

My friend Barry Moltz says that you cannot ‘force’ sales on clients.
They just need to know that you exist and that you are available when they need you.

My blog ‘Serge the Concierge’ allows me to share things I know about and/or I think could be useful to others.

Some companies I write about on my blog might also bring me new income sources (such as referral fees) if clients for my concierge business use their services at one time or another.

In any case, through the blog, I am constantly adding to my contact list, in the US and abroad.
It is a very valuable source.

Have a good week-end

Serge
