The 5 Industries Most Likely to Make You a Fortune as a Digital Marketer [Video]

How to outsource your marketing to the right ad agency. See, if you hire a company, even those that work with Fortune 100 companies, and they put junior people on your account that have never done marketing before, it doesn’t matter if you hire me or someone else, you need to look at the people who are actually working on your account and doing the work. What are their qualifications? RESOURCES & LINKS: ____________________________________________Ubersuggest: https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/____________________________________________Step #1 is, make sure you’re not just hiring an ad agency, you’re hiring specific people within that ad agency who are working on your account. So make sure you have really good people on your account, and make sure their credentials aren’t just great, and their track record is not just great, but they also have experience within your industry, which means they’ll be able to produce results quicker. Two, you need to make sure that company has industry experience. So when they’re pitching you, let’s say if you’re a FinTech company, they need to show you other examples of FinTech companies that they produce results for. And they need to provide references for this, because when they do that, there’s a higher chance that they’ll be able to provide results for you as well.The third thing that you need to do is, before you even work with that company, they need to analyze your business and tell you everything that’s wrong. They need to tell you everything that’s wrong in such a detailed overview, you’re going to be like. And if they’re not willing to break it all down for you and break down how they can drive the results, what you’re doing wrong, what needs to be fixed, in what order, to get the results you’re looking for, then you’re wasting your time. So make sure they do that. The next thing you need to do is have Goal Alignment. What are the goals that you’re trying to achieve? And can they achieve it? Sometimes, people come to us and they say, “Hey we’re a venture funded startup, “we raised a hundred million dollars. “We have no revenue, “and we want you to help us get to 20 million in revenue “in the next six months.” Literally, I’ve had someone call me and ask for that.But that doesn’t logically make sense for you to take them on as a client if you’re an agency, because if you can’t produce the results, they’re going to be upset at you in turn anyways. So make sure that the goals are aligned both from the agency end and from you as the business owner or the marketer or the CMO, or whoever’s hiring that agency. If you guys can’t align on the goals, it’s not going to work out. The last thing I have for you is, make sure time zones are similar. With marketers these days, they can be working from anywhere, especially with people going remote. Just because someone is from the United States, doesn’t mean they live in the United States. They can be working from one of those islands. And you know, Thailand, that’s, looks amazing, at least from the pictures, but you don’t want to do calls in the middle of the night, your time, it would just be super inconvenient for you. So you need to make sure that they’re on your time zone. It doesn’t matter if they came from the same city. If they’re not on your time zone, it’s going to be a pain. That’s how you find a agency that produces results. Now, there’s a lot of other things that you may want to look out for as well, but those are the main pitfalls that I see companies making when they’re hiring agencies.

The Quickest Way to Create Popular Web Pages (And Get Tons of Traffic) [Video]

How To Build Pages That Rank #1 On Google Consistently | SEO Tips: https://youtu.be/LEUb_wTHv4IHow to Find All the Keywords That Your Competitors Rank For (But That You Don’t): https://youtu.be/vF1URMDVO7AUbersuggest: https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/____________________________________________So the first thing I want you to do is head on over to Ubersuggest, you need to go to ubersuggest.com or neilpatel.com/ubersuggest. Then what I want you to do is type in one of your competitor’s domains. If you don’t know a competitor, or who your competitor maybe, just think about what industry you’re in. And what do I want to do is break down, all right, how do I go out there and create really popular web pages really fast? Well, whenever you put in a competitor domain name into Ubersuggest, it tells you the roughly monthly traffic and their authority. And then I want you to click on Top Pages by Traffic. This breaks down, I got to put in Moz, not neilpatel.com. This breaks down the most popular web pages on their website. As you can see here, the beginner’s guide to SEO, what is SEO? Free tools, this is really cool. I can create a page on free tools, even if I don’t have free tools myself, what I could do I can link to other people’s tools in my space, maybe add affiliate links. Like, as you can see here, this isn’t really a big competing, or this isn’t really like a text-based heavy webpage. It’s just a page on free tools. And when I click here under View All, it’ll show me all the keywords they use to get that traffic. I can export it as well. So, I can just have that list. And now I know, all right, I should go and create an article on free SEO tools. And if I do that, I can actually point them to Ubersuggest, because there’s a free version of it. Like, you know, you don’t have to pay for it and then go from there. And I probably can generate more traffic. So, I can create articles based on, or web pages, based on what’s working for them. They have a free keyword tool. They have a guide to online ad types. I think that would be really useful and it probably doesn’t need to be as text rich, maybe there’s is, but I can create an article or infographic that just talk about the ad types, it’s a lot more images than texts, And I can tell people in there, hey, if you need help with your ad types, check out my ad agency, NP Digital. Now what’s cool about this report, and Uber sets the Top Pages by Traffic, anytime you put it in a quote unquote competitor domain name. You can see all the keywords that page ranks for. So, not only do you want to view the page, like I clicked to go view the page, I’m also here at the WordStream one. I can see all the keywords that they’re including to get that traffic from Google. And that gives me ideas on what keywords I need to include within my content. And you can just keep doing that and go next, next, next. And you can see all the keywords that they’re leveraging, which will help you not just create blog posts, but also web pages. So that way, you know what to focus on because you can see here, not all the popular pages on a site are blog posts, like this, one’s a blog, this one’s a blog, this one’s a blog and it keeps going. And if your business is not based in the United States, don’t worry. You can click on India for a competitor or Great Britain, and you could see who their most popular page is within that region and go through that formula all over again and replicate it. This strategy is super, super effective. I give this to my teams and that way, when we look at our competitors and we’re analyzing them, we focus on creating webpages that are superpopular on our competition versus just creating whatever we want. So then that way we are creating pages that generate traffic first and fast, because we already know that they work super well.
