Helpful Instagram Tip: The number of followers you Helpful Instagram Tip: The number of followers you have on Instagram won't bring you more clients. 

What matters is WHO follows you, not how many follow you.

Its better to have 500 followers who care than 5000 followers who don't. 

Try to grow your community, but grow consciously. Focus on attracting the right people. Start building a community of people who trust you enough that they love to share your content with their followers.

Marcie's Tuesday Museday: Some old things are cool Marcie's Tuesday Museday: Some old things are cool - and cute - but not when it comes to your website design. 

The design of your website - dated or not - will be one of the biggest factors in a person's decision to stay or go. 

In just a matter of seconds, they decide if your website is too dated to venture any further. They will click the โ€œBackโ€ button without a second thought. 

You do it, I do it. If a site is bad, why stay? 

If your website still has animated clip art, uses a very cluttered color palette, and can only be viewed on mobile if we pinch and zoom, I guarantee you are losing visitors. 

That means you're losing potential customers. That means it's time for an update.

Itโ€™s Always Time for Social Media Marketing - So Itโ€™s Always Time for Social Media Marketing - Social media is a big part of our everyday world. We check Facebook to see what our friends are up to, and we scroll through Instagram to be inspired and entertained.

You need to have a presence on these two social networks. 

You need to post often to stay visible, relevant, and to keep your business top of mind. 

Always be marketing.

When you optimize your website, it's so people can find you in a search. Design for them first.

User experience is very important to Google. User experience is all about being more user-centered than page-centered. The focus puts the user front and center.ย  

๐Ÿ”ธIs your site visually pleasing to the first time visitor? 

๐Ÿ”ธIs it easy for visitors to find what they're looking for?

๐Ÿ”ธDoes your website content make people trust your business?

A user-focused website is all about making a positive first impression with pleasant visual elements and navigation that makes finding information easy.

Twenty years ago, I ventured into the world of bei Twenty years ago, I ventured into the world of being a business owner. I took a leap of faith based on the idea that small businesses in northern Michigan needed affordable online marketing services. 

My instincts were right. My business grew from a small web design firm into a full blown digital marketing agency in a matter of months.

Here we are, twenty years later. From Web Design and Local SEO to Social Media Management and Email Marketing, I'm the one designing, creating, launching, managing, writing, emailing, and calling. 

I am fortunate to do what I love every single day, and for some pretty great clients!

How can I help your business today?

It's been so nice to get away and disconnect. I've It's been so nice to get away and disconnect. I've been talking and laughing with my friend, and we've eaten lots of fresh seafood along the Maryland shore.

Disconnecting has such a positive impact on my mood. I've been finding inspiration and new ideas in unexpected places.

The simple act of taking a break from my daily routine - or just my screen - has really lifted my spirits.

Time to get back to my view.

Most business owners struggle with three marketing Most business owners struggle with three marketing problems:

๐Ÿ”นI don't know what to do.
๐Ÿ”นI don't know how to do it.
๐Ÿ”นI don't have the time.

Every business needs to ramp up their marketing. It's how we get customers. But you just don't have the time, and that's OK.

Hire a marketing manager with proven knowledge, years of experience, and a portfolio of diverse clients. A marketing pro like Marcie Wolf has the time to do the work for you so you can focus on running your business!

Work can wait. Clients will be fine. You need a vacation and rejuvenation. You need to disconnect. Everyone does!

For me, vacations are about seeing new places and having new experiences. I love taking long weekends to go camping. I love spending five or six days in a new city. I often find inspiration and new ideas in unexpected places.

So this week I'm turning off all my work notifications, getting on an airplane, and flying to the East Coast. My friend and I will be watching sunrises over the Chesapeake Bay, hunting for shark teeth along the shore, and eating lots of fresh seafood.

I look forward to coming back energized with a heightened sense of clarity and contentment. 

My word for 2022 is "adventure" so here I go!

The secret to viral growth on Instagram right now The secret to viral growth on Instagram right now is Instagram Reels. It's one of the best ways to promote all kinds of things for your business on Instagram. Reels are simple to use and offer more interactivity than typical posts.

What makes Reels different? When you click on the Reels tab, you see Reels from ALL Instagram accounts, not just the friends and businesses you follow. More people might see your Reel than a regular post!

Every time I post a Reel for a client, it gets way more organic reach than other types of posts I've done for them. (See graphic.)

When you share a Reel, include a few hashtags. This helps the Instagram algorithm "understand" your content and serve it to more relevant audiences.

There's a "reel creative" opportunity waiting for you with Instagram Reels. Time to get shooting!
