  • S2 E3 – Small Business: Getting online and crushing it while you are there!

    The show notes and links to what we talked about are below:

    Intro:

    Seth: Hey Everyone and welcome to the third episode of the second season of the Digital Marketing Dive Podcast. I’m Seth with Goldstein Media and with me as always is the amazing and talented Shannon of DIAM Business Consulting.

    In the last episode we went a bit off topic and discussed the very important topic of staying healthy and using technology to help us achieve that. This week we’re going to talk about helping small businesses not only get online, but thrive.

    Shannon, you ready to rock?

    Shannon: Let’s do it! Before we start diving in, can I just say something? Digital marketing is freaking scary!!! 

    Seth: It definitely can be. But with the right plan, it doesn’t have to be.

    Shannon: Seriously. You’ve seen my ineptitude when it comes to the mechanics of social media and websites… you’ve had to be my knight in shining armor more than once! For everyone listening, who shares my distaste for the details...take a deep breath. We are going to do this together!

    Seth: Yea, we’re in this together.

    Shannon: There are so many resources. So many paths to take for effective social media, and so many networks to utilize. How do you decide what’s best for you and your company?

    Seth: It can be daunting. But planning it out can help. Also, remember, not all networks are needed to promote your business. Go where your customers are.

    Shannon: I’ve found that it is of utmost importance for the small businesses that we work with to have a plan. A GOOD PLAN. Find someone to build a comprehensive plan for your business. Everything needs to work together. Social media, websites, email/text blasts, events, etc. The messaging needs to be consistent across all platforms. The messaging also needs to be consistent in its frequency. We are creating trust. Find someone who knows how to incorporate all of that into your marketing plan. If that isn’t something you can do right now, build a plan yourself temporarily until you can.

  • S2 E2 – The Use Of Technology To Get Healthy

    Intro:

    Seth: Hey Everyone and welcome to the second episode of the second season of Digital Marketing Dive. This is really the first produced episode, since the last episode was more of a snippet. Anyhow, I’m already on a tangent. What a surprise.

    Before we introduce our topic, I want to introduce you to my lovely, talented, amazing co-host… Shannon McGill.

    Shannon is the Founder and Managing Director of DIAM Business Consulting in Columbus, Ohio. Welcome, Shan, glad to have you as my co-host.

    Why do you tell the audience a little bit more about DIAM and then we’ll dive into the show.

    Shannon: Talks about DIAM

    Seth: Fantastic! Let’s get on to our topic for today's show… using technology to get healthy. It’s a bit off topic for Digital Marketing, but here’s a way we can tie it in on topic… we all spend so much time behind the computer that we need to figure out how to use our technology to keep us healthy as well as gainfully employed and working.

    Shan, I know in a past life you were a fitness coach. So this will be right up your alley.

    11. Episode 30 – BLOOD, DEATH, DESTRUCTION AND OTHER ACTION MOVIE THEMES
      Hey Everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Digital Marketing Dive Podcast. I’m Shawn Swaim of Shawn Swaim Consulting and the self-proclaimed king of the Internet. With me as always is Seth Goldstein, the Creative Director of Goldstein Media.
      It’s our 30th episode. We made it! Let’s see if we can come up with 30 more!
      This week we’re talking about how to recover your SEO after Google goes crazy with the algorithm updates.
      We wanted to make this episode because of some new stats that have come out about SEO… In 2012 people thought Google was crazy because they updated the algorithm on average 3 times per day… Today, in 2020, that number is up to 9 times per day.
      Understand that fluctuations are natural… so chill out, grab a beer, and your rankings will likely recover. (As long as you’re not doing anything that is inherently risky)
      Preemptively eliminate the risky baggage. If you partook in “sub-par” SEO efforts in the past and Google has not dinged you yet, count your lucky stars and start removing the negative stuff
      Look for keyword stuffed pages & blog posts
      Analyze your backlink profile
      Start adding new, baller ass (that’s Shawn speak for “high quality”) content. The best antidote to bad SEO is Good SEO.
      This week we’re doing our favorite Internet finds:
      Shawn: Acorns
      Seth: Rev
