I feel that voting is more than just a civic duty; it’s a fundamental right that shapes the very future of our communities, nation, and the world. The power to vote is one of the most important tools we must make our voices heard, influence government policies, and demand accountability from those who represent us. However, the right to vote has not always been accessible to everyone. Many people, particularly women and people of color, fought tirelessly for the rights we often take for granted today.

The Sacrifices of Disenfranchised Groups

For much of American history, voting was a privilege reserved for a select few. People of color, especially Black Americans, were systematically disenfranchised through tactics like poll taxes, literacy tests, and outright violence. Women, too, were denied the right to vote until the early 20th century. The passage of the 15th and 19th Amendments helped to expand voting rights, but the struggle was long and fraught with hardship.

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s brought the fight for racial equality in...

Hey there, fellow entrepreneurs, and business enthusiasts! Today, please allow Ibi Marketing to dive into a topic that's crucial for any modern business: online reviews. Whether you're running a cozy cafe or an e-commerce empire, the significance of customer feedback cannot be overstated.

Now, why should businesses bother being on one of these directories? Well, let me tell you, there are lots of benefits!

Firstly, being on a business directory can help a...

Everybody wants things "fast, cheap, and good". Unfortunately, all 3 can rarely be accomplished simultaneously. As a matter of fact, we call getting all three the unicorn of the sweet spot. With that being said, we have a product to get all three and that is our free initial review/consultation. Contact us today for that unicorn experience.

When you do any project, there are three main factors that impact the outcome - speed, cost, and quality. However, you can only achieve two of these three factors simultaneously. In other words, you cannot have all three at once. You can apply this hypothesis to various industry verticals and personal situations.

Let me explain further why you can’t have all three at once.

Fast: Refers to how fast a product or service can be delivered. It's the amount of time it takes to go from conception to completion. In some cases, speed may be the most critical factor, such as in emergency situations or when working on time-sensitive projects.

Cheap: Cost refers...

Congratulations and welcome back to school for students of all ages regardless if it’s virtual or in person. I feel education is passport to the future and the discovery of one’s ignorance.

what-is-ppc.jpg

If you want to be seen online and get ranked at the top of the page fast, then PPC is the platform for you. PPC stands for pay-per-click, it’s a form of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked hence the term Pay Per Click Marketing. Advertisers bid for ad placement in a search engine's sponsored links section so when someone searches on a keyword that is related to their business they appear.

Every time an ad is clicked, it sends a visitor to the advertiser’s website/landing page, the advertiser has to pay the search engine a fee. When PPC is working correctly it’s the best platform to reach the masses. For example, if you pay $2 a click, but the click results in a $200 sale, then you make a massive profit.

There is a lot of hard work that goes into building a successful PPC campaign. A few things are researching the...

Before I go through the pros and cons of both marketing verticals I want everyone to know that I recommend having a diversified portfolio to maximize your marketing strategies.

Traditional marketing is a conventional mode of marketing that helps to reach out to a semi-targeted audience with various offline advertising and promotional methods.

· Print (magazines, newspapers, etc.)

· Broadcast (TV, radio, etc.)

· Direct Mail (catalogs, postcards, etc.)

· Telephone (telemarketing, sms marketing, etc.)

· Outdoor (billboards, fliers, etc.)

july4thhistory (1).jpg

I first want to state that while traveling and doing business in several dozen countries I don’t want to live anywhere else than the United States of America. With everything (or everyone) you love, you want them to be the absolute best. In doing so we need to know the facts so we may continue being better.

July 4, 1776 wasn't the day that the Continental Congress decided to declare independence, that was done on July 2, 1776 which it was signed. The start of the American Revolution happened in April 1775. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence in June 1776. The Declaration wasn't delivered to Great Britain until November 1776. Did you know that majority of blacks and people of color were still slaves? So this day isn't a celebration of independence for all Americans.

So why July 4th 1776?

The Continental Congress approved the final wording of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. They'd been working on it for a couple of days after the draft was submitted on July 2nd and finally agreed on all of the edits and...

Before I tell you a few D.I.Y. marketing strategies to grow your business revenue and/or brand awareness be aware that it does take dedication.

SEO-vs.-PPC1.png

Some of the best debates during our lifetime are Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC, Coke vs. Pepsi, Twizzlers vs. Red Vines, Star Trek vs. Star Wars, Britney vs. Christina, West Coast vs. East Coast, and could Jack fit on the door with Rose in the movie Titanic.

If anyone cares, my answers are respectively: NSYNC, Coke, Red Vines, Star Wars, Team Christina, West Coast, and YES!!

However, when it comes to marketing on the internet I don’t think there is a greater debate than Search Engine Optimization vs. Pay Per Click Marketing. I went to Google campus and they had a jovial team debate (with song and skits) about which technique is better and there was no clear cut winner. You will hear many different answers but I will tell you definitively what the answer is…………………BOTH (with also some social media marketing) but if you have to choose one, the answer is, IT...

iPhone-block-calls.jpg

If I had a dime for everyone who asked me this question over the years I would be wealthier that Warren Buffett or at least Lebron James. Please tell m who really likes getting called by scammers telling you that you owe the IRS? Eating dinner and a telemarketer acting as if you are the rude one.

Calls from political campaigns, debt collectors and charities are all permissible. What's not allowed are the calls from the fake IRS agents or the companies that claim you won a free vacation to the Bahamas. According to the FCC, there are some easy steps you can take to help reduce robocalls:

· Don't answer calls from blocked or unknown numbers.

· Don't answer calls from numbers you don't recognize.

If someone calls you and claims to be with XYZ company, hang up and call the company yourself. Use the company's website to find an official number.

If you do answer a call and hear a recording such as "Hello, can you hear me?", just hang up.

The same goes for a call where you're asked to press a number before being connected to a...

Just joking people. Google Plus (Google+) it's shutting down April 2nd. Still a huge deal because over 111 million users are on this social media platform. If you have friends and pictures on this platform immediately migrate them over to your other social media platforms.

SEO-Startegy-2019.png

It is more important than ever to do proper SEO to attract an audience to your platform(s). Google algorithms are changing rapidly due to AI. Clients are searching many different ways than years prior. I have some solutions that will get you results.

Who is your customer base? What are they looking for? How do they prefer to find you? How are you communicating with them? This is the first step to resolving some of your issues. You must find out who these individuals are and have the answer to those questions. This is something that should be done in life. How you communicate with others is imperative to how you will be treated and how others perceive how you treat them. Knowing this you should also apply the same mentality to your marketing strategy.

You must answer your audience in the language that they speak or more importantly HEAR YOU. I’m not talking linguistically (although that is obvious) but technically. Does your...

no_100_guarantee_jpg_200x200_q85.jpg

Run for the hills when an online marketing person tells you “I guarantee traffic and/or a specific return on investment”. Online marketing professionals should never guarantee ROI and Traffic. WE DON’T CONTROL SEARCH ENGINES AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS!! Every platform has their own algorithm that is constantly changing and NOBODY knows exactly how it works. Google, Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, Facebook, linkedin, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and many more have their own agenda and algorithms. If you can’t control or know when algorithm changes, what exactly they are, and how does it affect your company then you essentially can’t guarantee results.

Although confident in our skills and a track record of proven results, we don’t guarantee ROI and Traffic. Internet Business Ideas and Marketing LLC is truthful, transparent, and in constant communication with our clients. At Ibi...

small vs big corp.png

How can an SMB (small & medium size business) compete with a large company? How can an SMB compete with a firm that spends 10x their budget every month? This is a question that I hear all the time at conventions and seminars that I speak at. No worries I have many answers and will provide a few for you right now.

Hire a good Agency: Obviously Internet Business Ideas and Marketing is an agency that manages fortune 500 and many SMB’s as clients. So we know both sides of coin. A good agency will give you an opportunity for your ad to be seen just as much as the competition. Hire someone that will set proper expectations, has experience, will intimately learn about your business, and desires to have you as a lifelong client. SMB’s need tender loving care and a marketing company must be able to provide that service with reasonable time expectations.

Don’t be the cheapest on market: You will never compete with Amazon, Macy’s, Target, Walmart,...

inhouse vs outsource agency.jpg

This is a dilemma that most companies eventually go through. There are many factors that go into determining what is the best decision for your firm. So let’s address the elephant in the room. Internet Business Ideas and Marketing LLC is an agency. I will offer the best solution that most successful business implores. Regardless I will give some pros and cons to aid in your decision.

Control:

An In-house person will be at your fingertips to make decisions in a split second. Although an agency will get back with you in a timely manner, majority of the time they won’t be as available as someone who works down the hall.

Savings/cost:

Initially hiring an agency may seem expensive but when you pencil out the cost you will be surprised to know this is untrue. Here is the annual salary for hiring an average in house specialist:

SEO: $42,000 Web Designer: $52,000 PPC: $50,000 Social Media: $53,000 Mobile App Developer:...

amazon vs google.png

If you sell products on any search engine or shopping site, you already know there is major competition. You probably have noticed the ongoing passive aggressive battle between Google and Amazon shopping. The most recent news is that Amazon has stopped bidding on Googles product listing auction in April. Amazon has been the top bidder for almost 2 years.

Let me start by explaining what Google Shopping is. It used to be called Product Listing Ads and allows customers to search for, view and compare products. They can appear in the main search engine results page or under the shopping tab. You can select the location you want to advertise, upload products, control bids, ad schedules, and optimize ads through your merchant center linked to your Google Adwords account.

What #GoogleShopping looks like for the customer. When a customer types or says ‘blue jogging shoes’ into Google, they may see sponsored ads appearing at the top of the page and pictures. All the pictures that showing is Google...

update-your website.png

If you still use an abacus, watch movies on a VCR, don’t want business from anyone under the age of 50, or not interested in increasing revenue then you don’t need to read this article. Having a website today is like having a brick and mortar 50 years ago. It legitimizes your company and has made it easier for many entrepreneurs to own a business’s today.

Here are a few other reasons why you should have a website:

1. Your customers expect it.

No need to say more. If your customers expect it then you should provide it. 6 of 10 consumers expect brands to provide online content about their business on some form of digital property, and more than half head straight to the brand’s website for product information.

If you don’t have a business website, today’s digital-savvy (and impatient) customers may look elsewhere. Take a look at this list of specifics that customers say they want from a business website.

2. It provides social proof.

On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday.

The next year, a Spokane, Washington, woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. She went to local churches, the YMCA, shopkeepers and government officials to drum up support for her idea, and she was successful: Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on June 19, 1910.

In 1916, President Wilson honored the day by using telegraph signals. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to observe Father’s Day. Today, the day honoring fathers is celebrated in the United States on the third Sunday of June. In other countries–especially in Europe and Latin America–fathers are honored on St. Joseph’s Day, a traditional...

Memorial-Day-.png

Internet Business Ideas and Marketing wants to thank those who currently and have served our country. The sacrifice made by individuals and their families can never be repaid. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, whereas Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.

The practice of having an annual day to honor those that have fallen in battle go back to the early 19th century. It has been documented that the Romans and Greeks had such a holiday but one of the earliest commemorations on U.S. soil (May 1st 1865 in Charleston S.C.) was organized by 1,000 recently freed slaves after the civil war. They were also accompanied by regiments of U.S. colored troops and a handful of white Charlestonians. In May 1868, General John A. Logan is said to have declared “May 30th Decoration Day” (later to be known as Memorial Day). Decoration Day became a national holiday in 1971 in which the name was changed to Memorial Day. Many states claim to be the founder of this day of remembrance. Although most see this holiday...

You can give the gift of increased income by contacting us today and get a FREE consultation. Do you know the history of Mother’s Day? It’s very interesting.

While versions of Mother’s Day are celebrated worldwide, traditions vary depending on the country. In Thailand, for example, Mother’s Day is always celebrated in August on the birthday of the current queen, Sirikit. Another alternate observance of Mother’s Day can be found in Ethiopia, where families gather each fall to sing songs and eat a large feast as part of Antrosht, a multi-day celebration honoring motherhood.

The American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Jarvis would later denounce the holiday’s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar. Mother’s Day continues to be celebrated by presenting mothers and other women with...

This is not a big holiday in Mexico but in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage.

Why start Ibi Marketing?

Internet Business Ideas and Marketing LLC (also known as IBI Marketing) was founded by Terry Redmond (currently CEO) because he discovered a deficiency in a young industry called “Online Marketing or Search Engine Marketing (SEM)”. He wanted to bring something different to the industry. Amongst his vast experience in the industry and while working at his last firm as a National and International Marketing Manager, he realized that a lot of SEM firms were “immature”. As a result he knew he eventually would have to start his own company. When using the word “immature” he meant several things such as:

  • Not taking the time to educate themselves especially since the industry is constantly changing (like Panda updates and Penguin updates).
  • Always taking shortcuts and are doing “black hat” or dark “grey hat” techniques.
  • “Tech talking” over the heads of clients and pushing only their agendas.
  • Not understanding their clients’ needs like ROI, P&L’s, hard cost per...
