Orange County Bookkeeper, Real Estate Attorney, and Web Design Specialist

Orange County Bookkeeper

Deanna Mailman started off the speaking circuit today with some advice on QuickBooks.

Deanna offered advice on which version of QuickBooks to use. Did you know that QuickBooks only offers support for 3 years? And that the mac version has so much less than the PC version? If you want to get the most out of your money it would be beneficial to purchase the PC version. Not all types of the QuickBooks platform are alike, so choose wisely!

After you have QuickBooks Deanna can get your revenue paperwork in order. If you need help with QuickBooks, or are behind on reconciling your business accounts, call Deanna!

Orange County SEO and Web Design

Our final speaker for the weekly LeTip meeting was Angie Weeks with Cal Coast Web Design. Angie attended the meeting from Nevada. She stepped up the geek factor for LeTip by showing everyone how to effectively utilize technology in businesses by using Skype to attend the meeting!

Angie shared with LeTip some of Cal Coasts success stories.

• Jeff Miller - A window washer in Orange County who was able to expand his business into the commercial realm, increase client base, and upgrade his campaign all because of SEO.

• Judy Flores - A professional organizer in Orange County who was able to increase her prices, obtain famous clientele, and completely eliminate the time and expense of networking from her budget due to SEO.

• Georgi Whitney - A waxing studio in Birmingham, Michigan increased business so much she was able to create another full time position, and hire a receptionist for her business because of SEO.

These are some of the many success stories that Cal Coast is proud of sharing. Angie also explained how SEO can change the lives for little niche businesses, and its their passion to do so.

Angie also discussed larger companies, and how she recently did an audit of a company's analytics and discovered they were spending thousands of dollars for branding terms in PPC. I told them when we take on the account we will decrease their current PPC spend of 7K/mo while doubling their business with the organic rankings and traffic we drive. This company was spending many of their online marketing dollars in the wrong place, and many companies make the same mistake. Cal Coast can save these types of companies $$ by strategically balancing their organic and PPC campaigns. So send us anyone you know who's spending more than $500/mo in PPC.

Angie spoke about the difference between SMO & SEM. If your optimizing your website to get found in the search engines, you're probably doing some components of SEM.

You've gotta work with Angie Weeks!

Hello LeTippers!

Yesterday, I spent some time with Angie Weeks, Cal Coast Web Design. She's a fountain of knowledge IF you want to be found online. The simple tips she gave me, and the direct application, showing me how to do them, was priceless!

Thanks Angie for all that you do for our LeTip group online and for me personally!

Social Networking Online

Hey LeTip!

How's your Social Networking Online coming along? Thought I would share this link with you - its the Top 50 social networking websites from Website Mag.

Most of you are pros when it comes to offline networking - but what about your online reach? Do you have enough time to get it done? Do you know how to do it right???

Here's a blog post we wrote about effectively social networking online to help you out!

Small Business Websites and SEO

Thank you to Jim Gross, our Orange County printer, who sent this article from PRINT SOLUTIONS WEEKLY. The article was written FEB. 18, 2009, NOT 5 years ago. Seriously?

Small Businesses' Online Disconnect

While 63 percent of small business owners turn first to the internet for information about local companies and 82 percent use search engines to do so, only 44 percent of small businesses have a website and half spend less than 10 percent of their marketing budgets online, according to a recent survey by Webvisible and Nielsen.

If your services include search engine optimization or website design, there may be sales opportunities among the small businesses in your region.

The research found an accelerating trend toward online media for local search, with 92% of searchers saying they are happy with the results they get when using search engines, though 39 percent report frequently not being able to locate a particular known business. This may mean that searchers may choose to contact a similar business with a stronger online presence.

Though less than half of small businesses do have a website, the ones that do are not happy overall with their online marketing. Among those small businesses that have a website:

• 51 percent believe both the quality and ability of their site to acquire new customers is "fair" or "poor"
• 78 percent believe they advertise in the same places as their competitors
• only 7 percent of small business owners say their primary marketing goal is to get more visitors to their website
• 61 spend fewer than three hours a week marketing their website
• only 9 percent are satisfied with their online marketing efforts

__________________________

There is some good news here, and there is even better opportunity! You still haven't missed the website or search engine bus -- but its better to hop on now with purpose than follow along later as an afterthought!!!
