magglassAt NikkiPilkington.com, we’re growing all the time, and we’ve had a fantastic 2009 so far. But, like any ambitious person, I want more :)

I’m looking for a freelance PR person or small PR company to help to spread the word about the services we provide, the results we achieve and the good we can do.

What I DO want:

  • someone who can write press releases, and will only do so when there’s a story / angle, no matter what I think :)
  • someone with good relationships with journalists who will write good things about the Internet Marketing industry

Facebook Fan Check Virus- is it a virus or a hoax?

If you’re on facebook, then by now you’ve probably heard the hype about the Facebook Fan Check application, and the fact that it could contain a virus.

To find out more, I turned to one of my favourite sources of news, Mashable - who seem to be saying that it’s not so much the app itself that has a virus, but the emails and sites claiming to be able to fix it. Confused yet?

All I know is that until I removed the app, de-fanned it and detagged myself from all photos I was in, my Facebook friends feed was back to normal. Prior to that it was only showing old updates, and people were in the wrong categories.

Google Adwords help – and a cartoon that’s too rude to post?

Date: 4th September 2009
Comments: 1 Related Categories: Google

Regular readers know that in the last few months we’ve taken to including cartoons in our newsletter – we use Mike Flanagan of Flantoons and he’s fab :)

This month our newsletter will focus on Google Adwords help, and our September special offer, which is a Google Adwords Healthcheck for just £40.

One of the things that we find a lot of when doing these healthchecks is that people are often getting thousnds of clicks on their ads per month, but no sales from their site. Obviously this could be for a number of reasons, but one of the reasons we come across a lot is that thy simply haven’t thought their keyphrases through properly, and haven’t made sure that they’re not getting clicks that were meant for some other product or service.

Don’t spend time article marketing – watch TV and drink beer instead!

We’ve just sent out our latest newsletter, and once again we’re thrilled with the cartoon depiction of our headline subject – which in this case was Article Marketing and how it can save you time if you let a company such as us do it.

Mike from Flantoons exceeeded our expectations again with this fab cartoon – we hope you like it as much as we did!

Sometimes it’s the small things that count

Over the last few months I’ve implemented a few small changes in some of my ’strategies’, and I thought it would be good to share them with you over the next few days so you can see the results.

Today I’ll share with you my ‘newsletter signup strategy’.

I get about 20-30 newsletter signups per day. They all get a lovely little ‘thanks’ message from the Aweber system that I use, which is clearly automated. In 4 years or so of using Aweber, I’ve never yet had one person come back to one of those automated thank yous with a response.
