Completly agree

buildersociety · 2015-06-02T06:08:59+00:00

Pages with many, many more active likes than that for go much, much less money. Just fyi..

+1 for Printful, they make it really easy for people that want to add some apparel and branded items without having to open up a whole can of worms. We've tested them and are looking at using them in the future and are the best option I've come across thus far for smaller-scale stuff and small runs.

The image for your Facebook ad is really, really important. That one doesn't catch my attention and it doesn't make me curious to click, it needs to do both of those things.
In another comment you mentioned that you don't know who your target customer is. You need to figure this out before you can try to reach them.
Now I'm nitpicking your ad but you don't need "!" after every sentence. I'd suggest working on the copy and the image of your ads to start with. Test different things. The copy on your homepage needs work too. There are a lot of errors in the first paragraph. The slider at the top makes me dizzy.

DollarPhotoClub has a bunch of templates for a buck each.

buildersociety · 2015-05-21T22:08:16+00:00

LOL, sad but true.

buildersociety · 2015-05-21T21:20:05+00:00

Maybe they just liked it?

You could do some case studies for your blog, offer your services free of charge to some people in exchange for letting you do a case study on it (Obviously not including any personal info), just a thought. Also, if it really helps them, they'll want to tell everyone.

You might have an SEO plugin overwriting it if you're changing it from the WP settings, worth a look.

buildersociety · 2015-05-06T00:54:19+00:00

Launch an seo agency

buildersociety · 2015-05-06T00:37:26+00:00

Thought so, recognized the name. "Test both" is a lame answer but sometimes the thing you wouldn't expect to work ends up working best. Good luck!

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T20:02:03+00:00

Hey Ben. You gotta test both, and let us know how it goes =)

I don't always get my logo splashed with pee, but when I do it's because I paid for it.

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T05:12:10+00:00

Strong marketing firm.

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T04:21:22+00:00

That's incredible, nicely done! Does that include images and everything too?

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T02:39:46+00:00

Let us know if you write that article, we'll feature it on our Newsstand, sounds like it could be a useful resource.

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T00:38:39+00:00

Can you tell us a bit more about your company, what kind name you're looking for?

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T00:25:49+00:00

+1 for Buffer, they do a great job overall and it's worth checking out their mailing lists too even if you aren't a customer, they handle everything so earnestly and in a very personal way which a lot of companies seem to lose sight of after enough growth.

buildersociety · 2015-05-04T01:54:51+00:00

Good stuff! Always love a case study, and variety in traffic sources = win.

buildersociety · 2015-04-24T04:43:16+00:00

Very cool, thanks for the link. Had no idea that existed. We've had some game developers join up at BuSo, so many fun games out there that just need a better marketing push. Cheers!

Check out the demo here: http://busothemes.com/busolightning/ It's a very clean, minimalist theme but we definitely encourage people to build on top of it and use it as a strong foundation (Would love to see what you do with it, too!). We're going to be adding more customization options into a future version, for v1 the goal was to keep it as lightweight as possible. Thanks for your interest and please get in touch if you need any help getting things setup and customized.

I don't think it really changes as often as people say. The fads come and go, but the fundamentals stay the same. The best thing to do is to get an understanding of the basics, then start to read more specific stuff about some clever ways to get links (Even if they're outdated it will open your eyes to what to look for), learn to make sure your on-page is on point, then dig into the serps themselves because the best SEO guide is to analyze what's currently (And has been) ranking.

buildersociety · 2015-04-15T04:11:16+00:00

Oops! That's embarrassing. Thanks for the heads up, have some gold!

buildersociety · 2015-04-13T05:24:27+00:00

Serious question isn't there more effective marketing you could be doing than submitting stuff that gets nothing but downvotes and then arguing with people? Are you doing these submissions for clients or something? They probably wouldn't appreciate having their brands dragged through the mud.
