Then over the last two weeks, you’ve taken a leap toward making your business viable by defining who you are as a business and putting together your documents. This week, we’ll tie up loose ends so that you’re a fully functional agency able to pick and choose the work you accept.
Day 22: Pitch DeckOver the next few years, you’ll be doing a lot of pitching: walking into a room and trying to convince someone to give you their business. Here’s the good news: if you’re in the room, you’ve probably got the job. Stakeholders in successful businesses are usually very busy, so if they take the time to see you, they take you seriously. The best way to allay their doubts and secure the work is to walk in with a pitch deck. Pitch decks are usually associated with startups but work well for design agencies. Consider your pitch deck a portfolio formatted for business concerns. Include work samples if you have them, your elevator pitch, and as many provable facts about the service you offer as possible. Keep it short, and use it as a framework for meetings.
Day 23: Kick-Off ChecklistNo one is going to suggest that web design is painting by numbers. You can’t knock out websites with a checklist as if you were doing your laundry. However, some stages of the process are repetitive, one of which is the kick-off process. Far too many projects are derailed by a slow start. You’ve probably agreed to a deadline, and making sure you have everything you need to make progress is vital in hitting that deadline. As with any repetitive process, creating a document, in this case, a checklist, is advisable to speed up this stage of your projects.
Day 24: Find Some BackupWhether starting as a freelancer, in a partnership, or with a skeleton crew, you can’t do everything yourself. This doesn’t mean hiring staff — that is a costly step that you should only consider if you have the financial resources to guarantee a stable cash flow. Instead, reach out to your network or even freelance boards and see who’s available if and when you need assistance. For example, it is always helpful to have the contact details of an experienced server admin — you’ll only need them once or twice a year, but when you need them, they’re worth their weight in gold. It’s also worth having a couple of contacts who can do simple, time-consuming tasks like image processing. Outsourcing means focusing on the parts of the job that maximise your profits. Don’t wait until you need them; start developing these networks now, so when the need does arise, you know who to reach out to.
Day 25: WebsiteOK, 25 days in, it’s finally time to build your website. Yes, in one day. You already have your elevator pitch, logo, and the niche you intend to target. You also have the terms of service and a link to your social media. That’s everything you need to get a simple business card design online. Naturally, as you begin to onboard clients, you will develop a portfolio that will allow you to improve your site. But right now, you need a presence quickly. You picked up your hosting on day 19; today’s the day to put something on it.
Day 26: Client No. 1The biggest challenge for any web design agency is acquiring good, paying clients. I know an agency that burnt through seed money for a whole year, waiting for clients to knock at the door. I also know an agency that was only founded because one high-profile client turned up at the creative director’s dorm room. Those are the extremes, but no matter your story, your clients will define it. Way back on day eight, you wrote a list of potential clients. Today, you’re going to approach one. Your goal is to set up a meeting at which you can sell your service to them. You don’t have to telephone or visit in person; it’s OK to email or message them on social media if those are your strengths. Then, invite them for coffee and an informal chat at the coffee shop you picked on day twelve. Most of you are going to get knocked back. That’s the nature of the business. The key is to get back on the horse. Try to learn from your approach, and take steps to improve next time. Your first cold approach is nerve-racking; if it isn’t, then maybe you aren’t taking this seriously enough. But I can promise that approach number two is more easier, and by the time you’ve done a few dozen, you may even start to enjoy it.
Day 27: QuitA wise man once said, “You’ll never make money working for someone else.” Twenty-seven days ago, you started this process, hoping to seize control of your destiny. The last step is to quit whatever dead-end job you’ve been tolerating up until now. You don’t need to burn your bridges; you don’t need to punch the boss and kiss your office crush on the way out the door; you do need to take a mental break from your old life to focus on the future. If you can’t afford to quit, then it’s fine to quiet quit. Just make sure you find the mental space to give your agency the attention it needs.
Day 28: RestOver the past four weeks, you’ve manoeuvred yourself into the best position possible to launch your new agency. You’ve decided who you are, who you plan to become, and how you’ll communicate that to the world. Whether this plan is viable long-term is entirely up to you. You make your own luck in this life. Today, do what you always do on the last day of the week and rest. Then, tomorrow, you’ll start forging your path to success.

Read the official rules or check out our FAQ. via Pixel Lyft https://ift.tt/xLZQyTl Spending too much time on your content strategy and creation might have you wishing there was a magic button to completely automate your SEO. With Google’s Helpful Content Update on the horizon, many enterprises have been asking: how much automation can you apply to writing content? Is it actually possible to automate content creation and still make sure it’s written for humans?
With so many SEO content writing solutions on the market, you need to trust that a) you’re not over-investing in disparate tools, b) the insights and content prioritize humans and c) you’re simplifying your process in order to scale your overall search performance. So, is it possible to leverage content automation? The answer is yes… and no. Here’s what we’ll cover in this post: What is Content Automation in SEO?Content automation in SEO involves leveraging AI and machine learning to pull insights at scale so you can create the most authoritative content in the least amount of time possible. Some SEO tools can even write copy for you, but having a completely hands-off approach to content can backfire. The Challenge of Over-Automating Your ContentPutting your SEO on autopilot might seem like a good way to scale your efforts and save time, especially if you’re working with limited resources of budget, time, staff, or all of the above. But a completely automated solution cannot take the place of someone who can carry out your company’s SEO strategy to the fullest. Of course, that’s not to say that some parts of your SEO efforts cannot be automated — in fact, I often inform our prospects that they can do more in the way of automation. Reporting? Automate it. Keyword research? Automate it! Site crawls and technical audits? Automate that, too! Recommended Reading: How seoClarity Automates Your SEO Unfortunately, we see a lot of digital marketers come to us because they’ve been promised the world with automatic SEO and quickly come to find that it’s not possible for their enterprise because they lack a key ingredient: a person to execute the strategy of what an automation tool tells them to do. When it comes to their content creation, these same brands struggle to create content at scale because they presume that their SEO tool will go ahead and write the content for them. But if you lack the resources to invest in an individual who can execute on what these tools tell you to do, automation will backfire and leave you with more work than you had before you set out to automate your SEO. Think about it: if everyone was on autopilot when it came to their SEO, there would be search mediocrity across the board. Recommended Reading: Worried About Google’s Helpful Content Update? Don’t Be If… Successful brands roll up their sleeves and do the necessary work to be successful at search engine optimization. These marketers automate where they can to scale, but then use their own expertise to act on the insights. That human element of SEO is responsible for the art of crafting great content for a brand that users are actually seeking, as it takes a human person to craft a creative story while also implementing sound SEO strategy to drive search visibility. How to Leverage Automation in Your Content Marketing StrategyUnderstanding the challenge of too much automation is not a reason to shy away from solutions that will help you scale. Ultimately, having an SEO manager or a dedicated content manager to utilize the automation tool is your best bet for overall success. Content Fusion is our solution to the over-automation problem that provides users with an incredible experience in creating optimized, relevant content that results in improved search visibility. (Content Fusion analysis for “marvel avengers”.) With this feature, we take a specific, data-driven approach to your content needs. We give the client the ability to be the hero and know exactly what is affecting their site content. We also provide them with the knowledge and the tools to be able to come up with the solution on how to fix it. Recommended Reading: 7 Content Fusion Success Stories of Increased Search Visibility This goes beyond your cookie cutter templates or press-a-button SEO automation, and requires a certain level of human creativity (for writing the content) alongside data-backed AI (for informing the writer on what to create). Let’s go through a workflow for creating new content. To start, let’s imagine your business wants to rank for a particular target term. We take this term and plug it into Content Fusion which tells us exactly what you need to do to rank. Another workflow is to optimize content that’s already live on the site. Contnet Fusion will analyze the page to see which key terms are already included, and which need to be worked in. Unsure of how to use a term in the content you’re building? Content Fusion provides users with context within the suggested terms list. (The context behind one of the must-use keywords.) Looking at the above terms, writers unsure of the phrase “square enix”, for example, can drill down into that term for ranking content’s context, clicking through to the content that appears in the SERP directly from within Content Fusion. We’ve seen semantic keyword identification in other marketing automation platforms, but using just those terms throughout your content won’t help you rank. It comes down to contextual relevance and having a tool that will pinpoint exactly what Google considers when determining if your content is what users are looking for. As the landscape changes, the result set changes, meaning the data that you receive from Content Fusion is the latest data that determines what the user needs to do in order to rank for a specific term. You can pinpoint exactly what Google is looking for in content around this topic, and what are the terms that everyone is using so that you can understand contextual relevance to create content of your own. And anyone can use this, whether you’re an SEO or a new content writer, no matter your level of expertise on a particular subject, Content Fusion is the best way to gain insight into what content to create in order to rank. How to Use the Terms in Content FusionMany times, we’ll get the question, “How many times do I need to use a term that Content Fusion tells me to use?” As one of our most popular features for content marketing workflows, we’ve given Content Fusion a new look over the years. Now, users can see a recommended usage count next to each keyword. We didn’t want to pigeon hold content writers on how often to use a term. Even more important is how the term is worked into the content. The content should always be clear to understand and never feel robotic. The bottom line is this: in order for Google to find something authoritative, it has to be written by a human. Even automated content marketing needs the human element. ConclusionContent Fusion is instrumental in providing real-time actionable insights for our users to determine what to create next as part of their strategy. As an AI-driven feature within our platform, Content Fusion applies machine learning to aid content creation, letting users become subject matter experts on any topic and reaching their audience faster than ever imagined. Break through the content noise with the only built-in, AI-driven content optimizer that allows you to automate and write authoritative content faster than ever before.

Premiere Pro Export Settings for InstagramIt’s hard to define the ideal Premiere Pro export settings for Instagram videos. Because depending on the type of content you’re uploading, these settings will differ from one video to the next. Having said that, for most videos, a square video format is an ideal choice for exporting Premiere Pro for Instagram. Start with 1920 X 1920 frame size and choose the FPS rate that matches the FPS in the original video footage you’re using. For Instagram stories, the ideal frame size is 1080 X 1920. For exporting, use H.264 format and use Match Source – High bitrate preset. Check the box for Use Maximum Render Quality. Then make sure the resolution and framerate are just as you set for the project in the beginning. Now you’re all set to export the video. It’s difficult to explain video formatting without visual guides so we recommend you to watch this YouTube tutorial to see how to format videos for Instagram using Premiere Pro, step by step. Or you can read this article for a more detailed guide. This video tutorial even shows you how to get rid of those black bars that appear when formatting videos shot in landscape mode. via Pixel Lyft https://ift.tt/DNYzIcE Mary Kate Mack Mary Kate is the SEO Content Manager for seoClarity.

Wine Harvest Season“Welcome to the wine harvest season in Serbia. It’s September, and the hazy sunshine bathes the vines on the slopes of Fruška Gora. Everything is ready for the making of Bermet, the most famous wine from Serbia. This spiced wine was a favorite of the Austro-Hungarian elite and was served even on the Titanic. Bermet’s recipe is a closely guarded secret, and the wine is produced by just a handful of families in the town of Sremski Karlovci, near Novi Sad. On the other side of Novi Sad, plains of corn and sunflower fields blend in with the horizon, catching the last warm sun rays of this year.” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.

With more than 455 million blue crabs swimming in the Chesapeake Bay, these tasty critters can be prepared in a variety of ways and have become a summer staple in many homes and restaurants across the state.

Finding The Balance“One evening last week I felt a little stressed, so I decided to have a short walk outside. When I went out of the door, I saw two young hares jumping around, and a bat which flew just over my head. I sat down on a garden chair and watched while Jupiter slowly rose above the trees. The crisp air of the autumn night reminded me of how the seasons keep changing. Here in Finland the differences between seasons are extremely large, as both the temperatures and the duration of sunlight vary a lot. However, twice a year on the equinoxes everything is in balance. I hope we all can find the same balance in our own lives.” — Designed by Tuomas Karjalainen from Finland.
