While tactics are important, I have discovered there are only three things you need for success online:
- Qualified traffic
- A killer offer
- Conversions + follow-up
These can be built in various ways, but it’s not about SEO, PPC (Facebook Ads, Google Adwords, etc), Social media or ad-banners, blogs, affiliate networks, guest posting in specific.
Rather, it’s about getting clarity in who your perfect target audience is, what is working/not working, where you are now, and where you want/need to go.
Get a mile-stone driven plan in place and decide on the most effective strategies, tactics & tools that will support that plan.
While I often focus on search engines, integrated marketing solutions and online strategies, off-line campaigns COMBINED with intelligent online processes can big the MAGIC you are looking for.
But this is just one thought.
I help businesses create their OWN launch plans, help execute (fulfillment) and teach them how they can fit/update these into new business frameworks that fit their world.
For example, below are just a few questions I get on SEO.
FAIR WARNING – these are just examples, not strategies!
Is SEO (search engine optimization) and Online Marketing Difficult?
But I’ve found that business owners really are thinking about things like:
- Can I do SEO myself, or do I need to hire or outsource staff?
- How long does it take to see results in the search engines?
- What are the best keywords for my business and market?
- Should I change my domain name?
- How much time will it take out of my day? (time management concerns)
- Do I have to design a new website? How about the old one, can I still use it?
- How do I create and optimize my pages?
- What is the best way to get ranked in Google?
- Is SEO traffic the best option for me now?
- Should I engage with social media instead of SEO?
- Should I just advertise using PPC instead?
- Do I need to set up a blog?
- Are certifications important when hiring an online marketing expert?
- Are links still valuable – I heard Google is penalizing some of these tactics?
- and on and on and on…
I created this blog to try to answer questions like these + share my insights to help the business owners and entrepreneurs that are looking to improve their online life and business results. This must start by becoming more educated about what online marketers do and what systems, processes, tools and strategies actually work.

We have been providing services for years now, and we only use white hat (SEO best practices) solutions.

I am committed to creating information as accurately as possible, realizing that things can and will change. Conversations can get heated (even controversial) at times, but always look for the best outcomes and fair community involvement.
About Jon Rognerud I came to this country from Scandinavia over 25 years ago as a musician (guitar and lead vocals). While I was playing music in Los Angeles and specifically in Hollywood — and working in recording studio sessions, I found a job with a technology company in Culver City. The music didn’t pay the bills, but software sure did! I learned to program in several software languages and began helping people and companies with software applications and database problems. Today, I am a full-time Internet Marketer and consultant. I published my first web page in 1995. Since I was programming using Microsoft Technology at the time, and had been for 10 years up to that point, I thought HTML (using a Netscape browser) was ridiculous.
HTML too simple (or not)? A simple page, with a name field input box and a submit button, I thought it was beneath me. And, who in the world would use this? It was so simple. I used sophisticated tools, advanced programming languages (C, MASM, VB, SQL), and programming workbenches! But, fast forward about a year, and I had built a 20-page website with optimized pages, graphics and navigation. It felt like a real ‘application’ – all running in Internet Explorer and Netscape. I’ve learned a lot since then. Want to know how?
The Internet & Business. The web was real to me then, and has become everything to me now. I train, coach, and speak about SEM & Internet Marketing strategies. Every business is different, so each marketing strategy (online & offline) is tailored to overcome the pain organizations face at that time. I love the challenge of each assignment, whether it’s helping to create something completely brand new, or re-architecting and changing existing assets or processes. I understand technology and marketing, and have spent 20+ years in business solutions and consulting. I am very comfortable in conversations from the executive board-room, across company business units, to delivering my transformational training systems and keynotes from the stage.
Get In The Game. If the aim is not to transform your life or business, you ought to reconsider! Life’s too short. I help businesses grow and infuse more abundance into people’s lives along the way. I provide immense value to those who are willing & able. “90% of business success IS marketing – 100% of the time” – J.Rognerud
