The Busy Marketer Podcast with BJ Smith
I recently took a Meyers-Briggs test and discovered I'm an ENFP. That pretty much means I crave creativity and freedom more than just about anything. Many marketers are like this--we prefer to put our nose down and be creative which means we sometimes don't give as much attention to other aspects of business. This is especially true for the financial side of business. ...

For Jeremy Miller, branding is deeply personal. When he joined his family IT staffing business, he found the company in distress. The industry was changing all around them and he and his team had to make changes or close the doors. After trial and error, Jeremy realized that it wasn’t the sales team or processes that were no longer working, it was their brand. ...

Two years ago they were everywhere. Social media “gurus”. The people that were experts in it all.

info_outlineGreg Taylor, Founder of Marketing Press, is an experienced digital marketer who knows his stuff when it comes to website optimization and content marketing. He comes highly recommended by Jay Baer, one of America’s top marketing consultants, which is why I invited him on The Busy Marketer Podcast to share some of his knowledge.
Mentors
Greg relied on mentors to help him grow as an entrepreneur. Mentors can provide guidance for all levels of business.
Digital Marketing Data
When talking about Greg’s Digital Marketing Mantra, “review, refine, repeat”, he shares the importance of data. We’re fortunate to have access to so many more metrics than other forms of marketing, but they don’t do any good if we don’t use them.
Why WordPress?
Marketing Press ONLY uses the WordPress platform when developing websites. I asked Greg why and it came down to it being “easy” and “intuitive”. Very much the same reasons why I built this website on the platform.
Website Optimization
One of the basic things that websites need is an easy way for people to connect with you. Greg also recommends having a good “About” page that shows your brand’s personality.
Content Marketing
Don’t get hung up on the written word because “content” is more than that. Content can be podcasts, photos or video. Find a form of content that you are comfortable with and can do on a consistent basis. Consistency is very important.
