The Technology Gap and You

This is a short story titled “No One Gave Me The Manual!”  And that’s one of the biggest growing pains of smart, professional, college educated people who feel they cannot keep up with technology.  Personally, I spend an average of 9 hours dealing with technology and most of it is searching and investigating what is being developed which within weeks may disappear or become a multi million dollar product online.  Remember Angrybirds? 

According to trends, technology is accelerating at a pace that a large portion of the population (Mainly USA) will completely miss.  In fact, if you are over 50, you probably don’t know about tools like hootsuite, jamento, and the hundreds of alternatives to youtube.  If you are in business with a website and a Facebook page, you know that this is what everybody says “you gotta get on social media” and in part you hate it, and in part you feel like you have no choice.  On the other hand, there are millions of people literally getting paid to post pictures of themselves while seating on a beach chair.

Who will help those masses of people who are losing ground each day as our world becomes digital and automated?  Are you still doing newsletters and and sending out mailers? 

What if you gained understanding and mastery about basic tools and techniques to get your business moving smoothly?  Is it possible?  And what if you could get double or quadruple the amount of things you are doing with automation and reporting?   The truth is you could post, grow, connect, send notes, survey, sell, save, and get reports of everything.  You could get technology to do about 80% of the work for you and you simply focus on the human/creative side of things. 

That’s the gap, my friend and I want you to close it through training, participation and curiosity.  I’m glad you found us, unlike millions of others who will not have the same opportunity and will complain and cry to death technology ears.  Let’s get you up to snuff here and let’s do it now.

To Youtube or not to Youtube

Youtube is the #2 most visited website in the web and the statistics are almost mind boggling, so why aren’t you getting thousands of views?  Youtube is used by millions of people who record themselves doing projects, playing video games, teaching something, making music, demonstrating something and so much more...what do you share on Youtube? 

From a marketing standpoint, the question “what do you upload to Youtube” is a trick question that a professional marketer will know is designed to reveal your real understanding of this platform.  While it’s a simple question, it really determines whether you are successful or virtually unknown in the Youtube universe and it has zero to do with what you post.  At least in terms of business, as in growing your business from it, what you post is not the important factor that determines your success.

Put in another way, regardless of how valuable your diamonds may be, you’re going to get zero buyers when you sell it at a restaurant.  You can also try selling interesting diamonds of all colors and shapes which will have same success if you promote them at a water park. 

If you got the trend, then congratulations, you are on your way to master the most important element in marketing using Youtube as your platform.  When you target your videos effectively, you will get the vast number of views both organically and explosively.  It becomes a simple process of catering to your demand and enjoying feedback which gives you even more ideas for fresh material each time you post. 

In truth, if everyone knew this, there would be no Youtube Superstars, because everyone would be doing the same thing.  Since that’s not the case and the majority of people simply post and cross their fingers, Youtube continues to let the pros grow and the rest simply say “I don’t know” 

But, that’s one version of the Youtube adventure...You can and you will be a marketing superstar on Youtube when you apply the same principles the successful ones do.  I can show you and you can be on your way.  When would you like to start?  By the way, if you didn’t get the clue within this article, please read again, because it is in the details that the winners are made and the rest...well, it doesn’t matter.  Hurley Tech on Demand is here to make sure you win and waste no time with fruitless effort inside Youtube.  The next step is your request for discussion and securing an eye opening training session on video marketing.

Getting 1-on-1 Training in technology

Many people that work at small and medium sized companies are familiar with online services and social media but don’t have the confidence that they understand how they work.  For example you may now that posting on Facebook is a great way to market your services and products, but do you know the algorithms used to make your post visible to your audience?  My research tells me that less than 1% of people use Facebook effectively as a marketing tool.  Of course the ramifications of this is hours being used that will not result in real connections with possible customers. 

Of course Facebook is not the primary place for business and according to social trends, Facebook is in a steady decline in audience and engagement with people who actually do make transactions online.  There is also Youtube which is owned by Google, yet how many people use it to generate traffic to their websites effectively?  All in all, it is dozens of shots into the abyss of the internet and that’s not OK if you are interested in real business exposure and expansion.

If you are aware that most of your efforts have not resulted in the intended objective, you can do something about it.  Stop it. 

Instead, consider getting a trainer who can both guide you, train you and let you know all the crucial details about digital and social marketing.  Your success in the next few days, weeks and months depends on whether you will keep doing the same thing or doing something you haven’t done before.  Kind of like bungee jumping!  My role as a technology trainer is to identify all the areas where you are not getting results and show you what you haven’t seen so far. 

It’s a simple, enjoyable and inspiring process because you will have both new ideas and new actions.  New actions lead to new results, new results equals growth for your business.  That’s what 1-on-1 coaching has available for you.  Take a moment and book a time to get your efforts result in victories HERE:
