It's no secret that there are a LOT of #digitalmarketingtools to play with. 📈

Yet as old tools fall by the wayside, and new ones come to the fore, #googleanalytics has been a mainstay.

We’re just scratching the surface with these reasons – but there are few tools which give you true insights into how your visitors are actually interacting with your website.

(💡 Google is retiring Universal Analytics from July 1, 2023! Get ahead of the game by switching to Google Analytics 4 now.)

✋ Raise your hand if you've always - without fail - had 100% positive interactions with every other person you've ever met?*

We can't see through your screens, but we're assuming there aren't many hands raised.

In the same way, it's unlikely that your business will have 100% positive interactions with every customer it deals with. This is especially true as your business grows. Even something as simple as an unfortunate misunderstanding, or lack of communication, can lead to a bad customer experience.

And a bad customer experience can lead to a negative review.

But rather than ignoring those bad reviews, it is essential to engage with them! It demonstrates professionalism, can turn a bad situation into a good one, and ultimately helps you to learn lessons to propel your business forward.

How long would you wait for a website to load? ⌛

It seems that many of us are pretty impatient nowadays (we know, what a surprise...).

Google suggests that the bounce probability (i.e. a visitor leaving your site) increases by 32% as page load time goes from 1 second to 3 seconds.

With the introduction of Core Web Vitals, it has never been more important to have a fast, user-friendly website.

For many, #socialmediaadvertising seems like a quick, convenient and successful way to generate revenue. 💵

However, while Ads definitely have a place in your overall digital strategy, there are problems that less experienced folks suffer when running campaigns on social media platforms.

These oversights can eat into your budget, lower your ROI, and discourage you from running future campaigns.

Can you sell a product to six billion people? 🤷

You can definitely try - but not even the biggest brands in the world try to market themselves to every single person on the planet.

Defining your target audience - and understanding the people most likely to be interested in your product/service - is absolutely essential.

We’ve built a lot of great relationships in Statesville over the past three years.

Even though we work with clients across the 🇺🇸 (and even further afield, like 🇨🇦 and 🇬🇧), this place has given us so much in the past three years.

We spend a lot of time here during working hours, so it was a great change of pace to make an evening visit earlier this week! 🌙

We are deeply saddened by the sickening scenes from Ukraine. From thousands of miles away here in our corner of North Carolina, it’s almost unfathomable that war still has a place in our world today – not just in Ukraine, but in Yemen, Gaza, Syria, Ethiopia, and other parts of the globe.

In addition to the needless loss of life, the traumas of war often remain with those affected for the rest of their lives. It is vital that we not only mitigate the immediate humanitarian crises with aid, but that we also address the long-lasting and complex consequences of the lives ruined by armed conflict.

At True Boost Digital, we are doing our small part by supporting two programs we strongly believe in:

1️⃣ Voices of Children Foundation – This Ukrainian non-profit was established in the aftermath of the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. They provide support to Ukrainian children through art therapy and trained psychologists.

2️⃣ International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) – The ICRC works around the world to help people affected by conflict. They provide food, water and medical support to people in war zones, in addition to offering financial, educational and legal assistance to those who are most vulnerable.

Follow their missions on Instagram:

@voices_of_children
@icrc

There are so many incredible charities carrying out valuable work in Ukraine and other places around the world which are affected by war. We encourage you to research and support non-profits which share the same values as you, and which will help to make a difference to those in need.

With #internationalwomensday2022 approaching (or perhaps already here by the time you're reading this), we recognize that we are so fortunate at True Boost to work with some incredibly talented women.

As the quote in the image from Meg Whitman (former president and CEO at HP) illustrates, there’s really no substitute for passion when it comes to driving success in business. And we truly love working with these amazing women who are pursuing their ambitions and making a real difference in the world. 🌎

#shortanswer: Promote your podcast – properly.

#longanswer: You’ve invested hours in your podcast, producing episode after episode. You’re proud of the results. But how can you promote it to make sure people actually listen to it?

Well, there are a few things you can do.

1️⃣ Make sure that your podcast is available on all major podcast directories (Apple, Google, Spotify, iHeartRadio, etc.), and just as importantly, make sure it is in the right category.

2️⃣ Write compelling titles and descriptions which encourage potential listeners to give your podcast a try.

3️⃣ Encourage existing subscribers to leave reviews of your podcast.

4️⃣ Ask featured guests to promote their appearance on your podcast on their website and social channels.

5️⃣ Appear as a guest on other podcasts, providing valuable information which will encourage listeners to subscribe to your offering.

As with other aspects of digital marketing, there is no magic bullet when it comes to podcast promotion – each of these ideas should work together, forming a strategy which will help to grow your podcast’s audience.

There is a lot to be learned from reading (and re-reading, and then re-reading again) the works of Maya Angelou.

In a world expecting instant gratification and immediate success, it can be tempting to take the safer path. We often suppress our creative instincts because we don’t want to run the risk of failure.

We must accept that when we try new things, we will sometimes fail. We must also realize that we learn so many lessons from our failures - far more than we do from our successes. We can apply those lessons to our future creative endeavors.

Creativity must be nurtured - everywhere. From global problems that have plagued us for centuries, to smaller issues affecting our immediate families, creativity is a problem solver. We all have the power to be creative, and we all have the power to be problem solvers.

A large portion of marketing is about creativity, and it therefore stands to reason that failure is an inevitable byproduct of your marketing activities. The trick is to take any lessons from those failures and apply them in the future.

After all, failure doesn’t mean you should stop trying – it means you should keep creating.
