Yahoo Layoffs Sound Bad, But There’s More to the Story
Ever since Yahoo announced letting 600 employees (4% of its work force) go, newspapers and websites are blowing the story out of proportion like it’s the end of the world. Think again.

I love being presented with complex, fun questions about marketing — I live for it. Today, a client inquired about Twitter marketing and when the best times to Tweet are, which is an excellent question that deserves a blog post of a response. So, here I am!
While indulging in a toasted sammy and some soup from Quiznos on this chilly day in Los Angeles, I noticed a sign by the front door with a talking toaster saying: FOLLOW ME. I first thought to where; are we going to toasted sandwich heaven? Then I glanced down to see the iconic Facebook and Twitter logos staring me down. A-ha!
Like a throwback to 1848, the California Gold Rush is back in action, but instead of extracting wealth from Mother Earth it’s being found in a new age marketing medium — social media.
When launching a Social Media Marketing (SMM) campaign it’s important to understand ROI, but first you must understand the medium’s inner workings. Fortunately, I’m here to help you with that.
When it comes to online marketing, companies that rely on local customers absolutely must have a Google Places account. I suggest going for the win and signing up for the “Tags” as a way to boost exposure and increase click-throughs.

Some of the most catchy, function-rich websites are created in WordPress, including sites for major news providers, entertainment companies, law firms, college blogs, and just about every other site you can think of.
As many of you already know, I’m a BBQ aficionado. Though it may sound odd to some, or display the fact that I’m a workaholic, my idea of a fun day is sparking up the smoker and cooking loads of food while I relax outside and work on my laptop. The point is: The intimate feelings I have for BBQ are the same feelings small business owners should have for Social Media Marketing (SMM).
I just got off the phone with a new client that had contacted us a few weeks ago, and while researching their past Social Media Marketing efforts I pinpointed a major flaw, which I thought I’d share with everyone.
