SEO Mentor

Ok so the title is pretty boring but the book is top notch in my opinion. You are probably saying to yourself, “Of course you think the book is special you wrote it.” I know, I know, I am a selfish S.O.B that only cares about himself. That really is not the case at all. Since this blog is about SEO you can see my strategies in action as I write this post. I am obviously trying to rank for my book title What Success Takes and create buzz in the marketplace.

So what is my book about you might be asking? Well I am glad you asked. What Success Takes is the first book I have ever written and I am very excited about it if you can’t tell. In the book I talk about how I and many others have found success. What I want realized is that we are the definer of our success. There is no true definition, for everyone has his or her own perspective and insights on what success is in their life.

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview 30 “Success Mentors” (that is what I call them) about how they found success in their lives. Successful people such as:

Alex Mandossian, Russell Brunson, Ryan Lee, Talane Miedaner, Maritza Parra, Monikah Ogando, Joel Comm, Michelle Macphearson, Raymond Aaron, Mike Filsaime, Maria Reyes McDavis, Robert Ycmat, Noah St. John, Matt Bacak, Joselin Mane, Carolyn Ellis, Paul Colligan, Alejandro Reyes, Sherman Hu, Ron Hudson, Justin and Chaunna Brooke, Michael Angelo Caurso, Paul Pierson, Scott Brandley, Justin Wheeler, Dr. Randy Chatelain, Dave Brandley, Peter Parks, Tom Kunz, and Daniel Brusilovsky.

Ok, So I know that is a long list of people but I didn’t you to miss any of them. Anyways, I have implemented all of these interviews into my book at the end of each chapter. I learned so much from these 30 people and I know you will too.

So to make a long story short, my book has be made available to the public and I am actually giving it away for FREE! The reason being is I want everyone to learn more about me and my insights on What Success Takes. I also have a ton of other cool bonuses to go along with the Audio Abridged Version CD that I am giving away. You can check it all out at:

The Leader From Behind is a phrase that I have come to desire a better understanding. If you are a manager, parent, friend, or mentor of any kind then you have the ability, actually the responsibility to be the Leader From Behind.

I have the wonderful opportunity of being a father, husband, brother, son, friend to those I have contact with daily. I find it my duty to be a leader to these people in my life. Now a leader is not someone that has control or forces you into doing something, in fact a true leader from behind exudes no type of control or force. The leader gives insight and love to those he or she feels they have a stewardship over.

There are two people in my life that have been true leaders from behind….

If you are an online marketer, SEO, or Social Media consultant or whatever it is you do, I have one thing to say. NEVER GIVE UP! This is something that I have learned through out my life and because of my persistence and drive to never give up, I have been able to become successful in my own way.

If it is that ranking in Google you always wanted or needed, or a certain amount of optins through Social Media, or whatever it is in your online efforts. I simply say to you Never Give Up. For it is the persistent people that win, not just sometimes, all the time.

So hopefully this has given you a little boost for at least today!

Just did a guest blog post called Don’t Forget the Brand in SEO, PPC and Social Media at SearchEngineJournal.com and wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to look at it.

As I said in the article “I am constantly surprised when I find SEO efforts that do not include the brand.” If you are forgetting your or your clients brand in your SEO, PPC or Social media efforts then you are truly missing out.

There was a great comment from David, “Great points, Grant. I hate to admit it, but I’ve made that mistake in the past – optimizing for the high traffic keywords and related queries to help this client get more relevant traffic, I completely left their name off the title to improve relevance for the keywords I placed there. This worked great for landing new visitors, but I completely screwed over anyone that searched for them by brand, which turned out to be around 35% of their target audience. Won’t make that mistake again, to be sure.

I think the key point is to know how the company is getting business currently. Are their clients are from word-of-mouth referrals, or is it solely from internet traffic that’s searching for a deal on an item, etc… if it’s the latter, brand recognition isn’t the end all – if it’s the former, yeah , it should definitely be in the title, ppc campaign, or other marketing efforts.”

So take a look at the article at SearchEngineJournal.com now!
