As an old year draws to a close, it’s always a good idea to take a moment and pause; reflect on the success and failures of the previous year. While many people do this in their personal lives, do you do the same in your business? How might you increase or repeat successful internet marketing and SEO campaigns? What changes might you make to ensure the failures don’t happen again?
First, it’s important to make sure you don’t look at failures as bad things. After all, you wouldn’t be where you are – owner of a small business, middle marketing manager, CEO of Fortune 500 company – if it weren’t for the failures that taught you what NOT to do in the future. Rather than summarily dismissing them out of hand, keep those precious gems held to your vest; the failures hold a wealth of information to glean from!
So, what have YOU learned lately?
For us, we know that a lot of error happens – not from what you see – but what you don’t see. With that in mind, we’re sharing our top social media, internet marketing and SEO posts from the year to make sure you don’t miss out on the good stuff.
