Productivity Tips for Marketers

 




Marketing, like most current industries, moves at the speed of light. Joey Armstrong understands that most marketers long for just a few more hours in the day. While Joey Armstrong understands that we can’t slow down time, he does believe marketers can find ways to boost productivity and make the most of the hours on the job. Today, Armstrong will discuss some simple steps to boost productivity. 

 

1. Lists

 

One of the best things a marketer can do is physically write out tasks that must be completed on a given day. It can be beneficial to start the workweek with goals for the entire week and then segment them out throughout the week. Keep in mind that the stray task will inevitably come up during the day. Leave some room for these tasks and enjoy the sweet sensation that comes with crossing an objective off the list upon completion.

 

2. Consider Technology

 

Technological advancements have made just about all marketing tasks that much easier. However, not everyone utilizes technology to the best of its abilities. For instance, no marketer in 2021 should be manually posting on different social media profiles. There are great tools available that not only help schedule posts, but they also provide optimal times for increased traffic. Social posts are just the tip of the iceberg. Joey Armstrong recommends reviewing daily tasks and then searching for tools that can assist. If it can save more than a few minutes a day, the price will be worth its weight in gold.

 

3. Take Scheduled Breaks

 

A lot of people find that they are super productive for three hour spurts and then spend an hour trying to refocus. Sometimes, the best thing to do is step away from the laptop and take a quick walk outside. With so many people working remote, it can be challenging to stay focused. By following a routine for breaks, it can make it easier to stay focused on the task at hand as you always know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

 

4. Stack Your Meetings

 

Joey Armstrong believes that nothing kills productivity quite like scattered meetings throughout the day. It can be difficult to stop and go multiple times throughout the day. By lumping meetings one after another, marketers can avoid having to stop what they are working on more than once during a given day. This can be a huge time saver.

  Joey Armstrong wants all marketing professionals to succeed. It’s why he’s always willing to share helpful tips and tricks for other marketing gurus. A lot of marketing plans fail because marketers are making mistakes that they simply don’t know they are making. This post will help shed a light on some common, and avoidable, marketing mishaps.   1.      Starting Without a Defined Audience Armstrong reviews marketing materials all of the time that don’t appear to have a specific intended audience in mind. It starts with research. Companies need to develop a clear idea of what their buyers look like. This means considering things like their age, gender, demographic, location, and interests. Most marketers are so afraid to exclude a potential buyer that they don’t actually speak directly to anyone. This creates an inability to connect with anyone at all. It’s much better to speak to a specific audience who will resonate with a message than try to plea...

Don’t Let Algorithm Updates Keep You Up at Night

  Joey Armstrong  knows the stress that comes with a Google algorithm update for those who work in the SEO industry. There’s so much time and effort put into obtaining organic search results for a desired keyword that the thought of losing the fruit of that labor can be quite terrifying. However, Joey Armstrong is here to comfort marketers by explaining how following certain practices can help any SEO aficionado ensure that their website remains in the best possible position to succeed in the search engine results.    Most SEO marketers are numbers pe ople. They measure success by looking at not only the position their website appears in the search engines for a given keyword, but the number of clicks  the site receives, the number of seconds people stay on the page, and the list of numbers goes on and on. The problem is that focusing solely on numbers can make reports look  promising,  but they can also hurt the overall business.  There’s  a...

Is Broken Link Building Worth the Work?

Image
  As a leading marketing advisor, Joey Armstrong is often asked about different link building tactics. One of the most popular link building tactics in the early days of SEO was to take advantage of broken link building. Broken link building consists of finding links on websites that no longer work, reaching out to the owner of the site to let them know a link is broken and asking if one of your company’s links could replace it. It can be a truly great way to both gain a great backlink for your website and help another webpage out by lessening the number of dead links on their site. The reason people doubt the effectiveness of broken link building is because it is hard work. Effective broken link building is going to come with denials even when a marketer finds a website with a broken link that could be filled by a link to one of their resources. This can be deflating. The key is to cast a wide net and accumulate as many opportunities as possible. Joey Armstrong believes this ca...
