I loved this content marketing game infographic and thought I would share! Having just been handed 17 leaflets to look at, it seemed very apt too. What can the business owner do with the information on these leaflets to spread the word online about their business? after some minor editing there are at least 17 [...]
I’m often asked why I don’t recommend any free blog platforms for business blogging.

We’d walk around, often buying items we never originally set out for. “What has this to do with blogging tips for small business owners?” I hear you ask… When I started the Ultimate Blog [...]

The keyword suggestion tool also comes in very handy for brainstorming new blog ideas. You know you want to get your keywords in your [...]

“Being novices to IT, we hired Jan through a recommendation to help us with our web site(which is brilliant). Not only did she build the web site but she as mentored us through every step of the way, navigating the internet, encouraging us to joining different social networks.
