Brent Worley Blog

As I posted last week, I had decided to get back to some of my basics of Internet Marketing, going back to some things I was taught early on and start building results from there. I spent some time on the phone with my mentor going over what I was doing and getting some instructions on what I need to do differently.

Its great having a mentor that is willing to help, to point out what I needed to change, and give me a lot of ideas on how to make it better. And it has.

This is where it stands:

1. I took a website with little traffic, little backlinks, little anything (other than the basic page put up) and decided to see how much traffic I could drive to it. The website is http://www.123CallBrent.com. This website is geared to gather prospects for my business.

2. I began with some basic Articles.

3. I ramped up some video marketing.

4. Blogging and forum marketing increased.

So far, so good. The last week of June I nearly quintupled my traffic (remember, small amounts). So far, the whole 3 days in July, my unique visitors counter is almost at what it was for June.

I have a lot of videos and websites in the top 20 of Google for a particular term. I had, at one point this past week, 7 of the top 10 spots in Google for this keyword combination. I have had a lot of that replaced, but nothing that cannot be done again in short order.

What is really good is the amount of conversions I am getting. This list is growing everyday with people wanting to know more about the company, my Internet Marketing, the company product, and what all we are doing. Its fairly exciting seeing all of this take place.

What is great about video marketing is that you don’t have to be great to do videos. I’ll admit, I sound like a hick on video (probably sound like this in person too, but you never notice how you sound).

But anything works for a video. For instance, I was recording today and Brooklyn decided she wanted to be in a video. I was trying to hurry as we wanted to clean out the pool and hop in.

It ended up being a GREAT video opportunity, one that I will have in multiple spots on the Internet in very short order.

In fact, one of my mentors pointed me to a website that only reaffirmed my belief that although I think I am horrible doing video I can be successful at it. Check it out, its a great website with some decent videos: http://www.stompervision.com.

What are my next steps from here?

Well, I am going to do a lot of video marketing, some with my website squeeze page and some with just my phone number. The goal is to get people to pick up the phone and call me instead of me chasing people. With the amount of traffic I am getting and the way it is picking up, I expect to see an increase of legitimate prospects over the next month.
