I believe that readers from newspaper, magazines, books and advertising has now moved to internet as their complete full resources. Our manual advertising industry now has fell down because of obsolescent.

When I first read your headline I thought to myself Morris, okay, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to relate to this. But as I continued to read I could definitely relate to what you are saying.

I remember when I first got online to search for things for my company, I found it extremely hard to find what I needed. The same reason as you mention here, not a lot of companies thought about having a website.

Now it’s just as difficult because what they share might be about what they handle but it doesn’t speak to the every day consumer. I’m the first person to admit that a lot of what I read I don’t really even understand it. If I don’t understand it, I’m not sticking around. I’ll just continue to search until I find something that I do understand and is a lot more helpful.

Great post Morris, glad I stuck around and read it to the end. You are definitely right so thank you for pointing that out. Hope it will grab the attention of a lot more companies.

Comment on Project Planning using SMART Goals by Aaron @ Project Planning Online

Morris,

It is a shame that more projects are not following the SMART acronym – specifically in the project initiation and planning and design phases (setting and agreeing to expectations, and then breaking them down and feeding that back to the sponsor, showing how new found information effects previously discussed project documentation).

At first I was having trouble seeing how the PMI model mapped to SMART – it maps more to the individual tasks and activities that would be part of a work breakdown structure. Having said that, it is a *very* useful acronym to follow. It is a great way to make sure your are covering bases, and forces you to take a critical look at your work processes.

I think you’re right about committing things to paper – a list of tasks makes you think about what you have to do in some detail, and that has to be good. A formalised project plan would make you think moreso, but is probably overkill in the context of internet marketing or SEO, but would certainly be worthwhile looking into from the perspective of outsourcing.

I would combine SMART with the pomodoro technique, to gather what you have to do, and execute it in the most effective manner.

Great post – keep up the good work!

Aaron

Really great post Morris and I couldn’t agree with you more. Although I’m pretty much all there is to my business, no big company behind me, I do write out what I need to accomplish and when it needs to be done. I keep that pad on my desk and jot down daily activities that need to be done even weeks and months ahead of time.

You are so right about how important it is to actually write them down. I mean those daily tasks are staring you in the face as you work so there’s no excuse that you “forgot”. I know there are a lot of people in business for themselves today but they aren’t very disciplined. Writing down your plan is the first step needed in order to move forward.

Thanks for sharing such an in-depth post on this subject.

Great post, Morris! I didn’t know a lot about keyword research when I first started. I didn’t even know what long tail keywords are. I remember I had a lot of difficulties understanding it. I now know why keywords like “guitar” had no competition! I used to think, “why don’t they use Guitar? A lot of people search for it and it has no competition”. Lol! I now know that when someone googles “guitar” s/he doesn’t know what they want exactly. So someone might be idling hours away Googling the word. So the keyword is really useless. But something like this “I want to learn guitar in one week” is quite good. The person searching for this knows exactly what s/he wants.

Thanks a lot for the great post!

Congratulations for your partner!
