Baby Steps ... take those Baby Steps!
But get started ...
Remember the movie, "What About Bob" and the scene about baby steps? I think it's hilarious. But it also speaks to my present strategy regarding my SEO and Social Media knowledge and efforts ...
Lately, there's been alot of talk on ActiveRain and other sites about the merits of SEO and Social Media ... in particular the platform of Google+.
I'll be the first one to admit it, I'm NOT a techie and I don't understand much of the pros, cons, and wisdom of posting a certain way ... or using hashtags ... or + marks ... and so much more. I understand just enough to know that I don't know what I need to ... or enough of it.
Simply put, my head spins at times and I feel almost panic stricken. I'm a Mortgage Lender for godsake! I don't think I'm alone in my feelings or assessment regarding this stuff.
But that said, I HAVE learned some strategies and some fairly important and helpful things to do ... BABY STEPS ... in regards to promoting myself and helping my rankings and SEO. I referred to some simple tactics in a previous post on AR. Little did I know how much assistance those cute little buttons really were! ActiveRain made it so much simpler for good things to get accomplished when they added those "buttons" for social media across the top of our AR posts.
Same goes on other sites. Buttons are everywhere! These are examples of simple steps I can take now to help and benefit myself and others. I figure hitting those buttons is a little like taking medicine when I'm not feeling well. I certainly don't understand how and why the darn stuff works. But I'm certainly smart enough enough to know that it does. So I do it! And wah-lah ... good things happen! Social Media and SEO is much the same.
Just call me "Bob" ...
