Roddy Boyd, owner, and Director at 23 Creative, joins me for part one of a two-part series on great business websites.

I invited Roddy on the show because pretty much every business has a website, but not every business has a great website.

Websites can sometimes be a bit of a mystery for businesses. Sure, they know they need one, and they know what a good one looks like, but they don’t know how to take ownership of their site and make that happen.

Most of you have and will use a web developer to build your site but, so often, it can be a frustrating process - whether it is taking too long, not exactly what you wanted, you don’t know how it all works, you don’t have control of and access to the backend, or it isn’t helping your business like it should.

Roddy knows that building a website isn't enough and that you need to make sure it has clear and concise calls to action and is easy for your target market to navigate.

In the first part of my chat with Roddy, we cover off planning, target audiences, calls-to-action, content management systems, how to pick the right developer, structuring a website, how much they cost, content, and a few war stories to make it really interesting.

Do you sometimes struggle to see the forest for the trees when it comes to marketing? You aren’t the only one.

Marketing is actually pretty easy to describe. Marketing is about finding people with a need and getting them to trust you. As such, your job is to get the right people, the right information, at the right time.

Easier said than done though, right? Especially if you listen to all the marketing advice fluff and rubbish that fills your social feeds and inbox which promises the world but actually just leaves you confused.

Instead, you should listen to Marketing Builder; the show where you’ll get lots of little bricks of practical and clear advice to help you build up your marketing. Or, I’ll catch up with a cool business that is crushing their marketing right know so you can learn from them as well.

I’m not mucking around. Drawing on over 20 years of marketing experience, me, Daniel Oyston, will dive straight into a topic and provide you with short, sharp, and to the point marketing advice that you can apply straight away.

No nonsense marketing advice; that’s it.

Amazing Leave Behinds  - Ep 51

According to one source, based on total website traffic, the social media behemoth, YouTube, is the second most visited site behind only Google.

Further, 90.6% of the global internet users, aged 16-64, use it to watch videos. That number would certainly be pushed higher if under 16s were included!

Internet users aged 16-64 spend an average of 2 hours and 25 minutes on social media each day.

That all adds up to video being a strong consideration tactic in your marketing. But how can you best use it, what do you need to consider, what equipment do you need, etc?

Damien Maher, from Newcast Studios, has worked in video production and TV broadcast for almost 30 years, and he joins us to discuss video for business marketing.

Using Video in Your Marketing - Damien Maher - Newcast Studios - Ep 50

Social media is ever present in our lives. It has come a long way since the days where the boring old men, in grey suits, just thought it was just a waste of time and something that was a plaything for the kids.

Instead, it is now a space that is often critical to our business's marketing because, at a minimum, and if we put the time we spend on it aside, it can often be free marketing.

However, if you are like a lot of businesses, you look at social media and think, “What the hell am I going to post?”

It is pretty common.

That's why, in this episode, I share 20 social media post ideas, and I give a little bit of an explanation and some context for each one.

Once you've had a listen, be to head download the one-pager where I have collated them all for you - here.
