If I had it do to all over again this past year, here is what I would do.
As a caveat, everything I post will be antiquated simultaneously when I hit the publish button.
Things change so fast right now on the web. You have to balance picking a point to stake out your ground and keeping an eye open for the really good stuff that comes out. The stuff you just can’t afford to ignore.
So, here is what I would have done this past year. I would have purchased a domain with my company name for a brochure type website. Maybe something done by someone with some good CSS skills and graphic design experience. I wasted weeks on this.
I would have purchased a catchier, snarky, simpler, unique domain to host a WordPress blog connected to the main website. I would never update the brochure site. I would update the WordPress site daily with great content.
I would have started every other blog on WordPress using ithemes theme club.
I would have used Tumblr to set up my personal blog.
I would use to Squidoo to organize and create any other information like sales pages, info pages, free reports, how to pages and basically everything else. I would have purchased less domain names and devoted more time to developing the ones I had.
I would have used Twitter more often and sooner. I would have used Twitter more often and sooner. I would have used Twitter more often and sooner.
I would have come up with a turnkey way to take pictures, shoot videos, edit them, upload them and share them. In other words I would have purchased a MAC book much sooner that I did.
I would make sure I had every website and blog and Squidoo lens linked back and forth to the others.
I would balance these endeavors the best I could while staying productive and getting things done.
