Well first you should pick the major ones if you don't know where to start pinterest users that women mothers if youse alexa compete they'll give you demographics data on these social sites usually twitter and facebook our two sites that you can use the matter what industry you're in and the work unless you know something like government we're not supposed to be releasing secrets or anything like that but nonetheless when you're on these sites you gotta figure out how often you should be posting well you shouldn't see it as a chore you go on these facebook's that instagrams you're like wow actually sounded for instagram a few times over the years and some my friends like oh my god you got to be on instagram I'm like oh what do you put on instagram? I put up pictures of just meat taking pictures of myself I'm like wait what like how many followers do you have like one point something million off like what I'm like oh you're half naked in your photos that doesn't count no wonder people follow you uh how often do this on instagram five times a day I'm like five times a day that's a lot of work you couldn't pay me to do that they actually get paid quite well to do that I don't know how but uh they dio nonetheless if it feels like a chore to you then it's not right if you're posting content you love then great you should keep doing it just like those instagram models like taking a phone and they do a duck face and they go and they click a button and I don't know how they do it but their pictures turn on than the photo shops and stuff that's a sort of me but not to them so if you enjoy it you're off to a great start when you're posting there's a few tips you should keep in mind be careful what you post especially the business rome you know you gotta be careful especially which pictures I remember ashton kutcher one time said oh I'm gonna have my publicist take over my twitter probably posted something that he should have never posted I don't know what it wass but for him to say that that means he screwed up somewhere. You also want a post during active hours a m to six p m that's role went to most business owners if you're targeting the personal audience. So for example, and these instagram models were told me how they don't like posting before eleven a m I'm like eleven am everyone's already at work like? No, our audience is sleeping and I was like, okay, then that makes sense they also like posting at nine pm I'm like nine ten p m I'm in bed by ten like, oh yeah, I know my audience stays up till two am its like I you got to know your audience as well. You also want to continue update your profile, participate in the community if someone leaves a comment, what are you going to do? He spawned back no man is an island some liza comment it's rude just like if you're talking with a friend and you're sitting around in dining table and someone says something to you and you don't respond, what is that being rude? That's the same thing on the social web but someone takes the time to leave a comment you should respond you also want to post something that's interesting doesn't have to be work related all the time, just something that's, interesting and appropriate. You also want to help others if someone's asking for help or they're struggling or they need advice. Do your best to help him out. Why not? Whether it's pictures, videos, podcast articles share anything on the social web. If you like it, you think it'll help others share it. So let's, look at my profile. This is linked in. How well do you think I did on my profile? Bye. Don't having that one little thing, it makes my lincoln page not as personal as someone else's, that background image it's at the top, someone could look at him like, oh, cool, I understand who neil is. I see his personality all by having a background image. So now that you know, to keep her protocols up today and try to complete every single step, don't just try to half of, um, or ninety percent, like I did do all of them.

First, I would like to thank Creative Live for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the live audience in Neil Patel's course. It was a thoroughly enjoyable, thoughtful and useful class . Neil Patel is extremely articulate and knowledgeable in the SEO techniques. He shared his ideas and concepts unselfishly - some a little complex - in a manner which even a non-techie could understand and appreciate. I am a young Chef at a 2-Michelin star restaurant here in San Francisco, a writer and an entrepreneur. I have a blog and a website right now, and am in the process of building another website - so this course came at the perfect time. I have not been getting enough traffic to my website and blog and Neil has taught me a bunch of strategies to overcome this challenge and, eventually, be able to stand out in this crowded field. I am now ready to generate not just traffic but relevant traffic to my sites that will produce a high conversion rate. This will enable me to share my knowledge and experiences, reach a bigger audience and reap some financial rewards in the process. The cost of purchasing this class is so well worth it - I have no hesitancy in recommending this to anyone who would like to increase effective traffic to their websites with strategies that can be implemented immediately and easily. I cannot thank Neil enough and the wonderful Creative Live staff who made the participants feel so welcome. Sometimes, all you need is a little help to get to where you want to go, and I think I got that today.

I follow Neil's blog like so many others. I cannot afford to hire him yet but one day, I will be wildly successful and I will definitely give him a call then so that I can hopefully purchase one of his product offerings. This class is great and he has a great sense of humor. He is effortlessly funny. He knows how to teach complex SEO things in an easy and enjoyable way. I don't normally leave reviews (this is my first review & probably my last) but I feel I owe him a review due to everything that he has taught me on his websites. I learned a lot in this course but because he is so pleasant, I didn't notice I was learning; it was fun. Thanks Neil!

This was a fantastic course with lots of useful advice and tactics. Clearly, Neil is the real deal. Instead than trying to sell you gimmicky hidden methods and tactics that would instantly increase your sales by a thousand times, he gives you the precise tools and strategies you need to keep growing. I liked that there was no padding like in many business courses, and the pace was really focused and quick. This course will continuously ask you to pause and seek out some fantastic tools or go deep into practical advice that will help you build your business by adding value for both current and new clients. I heartily endorse.
