friends with benefits play chicago - Google Search -an example of what not to do!

2010-07-24T21:07:00.000-05:00

Here is an example of a person from Chicago using a Mac computer looking for the play "Friends with Benefits" that is running tonight for one night only- notice their are 5.9 million search results, BFHS sits in the #2 spot, but guess what, we have the old event from February because the marketing people that are running the play- don't know exactly what they are doing- and are missing opportunities- what they should have done, is googled their play in several different ways and reached out to the top 10 that have it listed on their site- and given updates to the new time and date- not saying that they missed out on money- but what if once they got to BFHS or another site- and found something else to do tonight- What would I do after finding out on this possible missed opportunity- fire the entire marketing department or bring me in to teach them how to take advantage of for the most part free opportunities to market your event. (don't let this happen to you- it is worth bring BFHS to consult with you staff) we only charge $130/hr if you are charging 25 bucks a head -that eqates to 5.2 missed butts in seats!

friends with benefits play chicago - Google Search
http://www.google.com/

Popular Pages Today 7/24/2010

1. Black Folk Hot Spots 55.87%
5. Black Folk Hot Spots: #Chicago 2/13: “Friends with Benefits” STAGEPLAY starring Brian Hooks 5.59%

and if you go to the site http://blackfolkhotspots.com you will notice that "Friends with benefits" play garnered 5.9% of all traffic today- which is alot since people hitting the main page 55.87% today. what that is saying is that if they would been featured on the main page- not only could they capture the eyeballs of traffic coming to the page- that might not have been looking for them, but also the eyeballs of people that actually were- which could equate to their event being seen by 61.77% of todays traffic- how many could they convert to paying customers- how much is that worth. you can see today traffic %'s on the right side bar!

a perfect example is the event that happens at Krush in Chicago- they understand this principle- they are still getting traffic, calls, emails to book birthday parties -the last time I talked with event promoters, they were still booking 4-5 birthday parties a week, and we placed the event last April- that is April 2009 and this is July of 2010 call the promoter, his number is listed as well as his email- now if you continue to question how powerful BFHS is, I don't know what to tell you!

Call Ryan for details on how to set your marketing on fire. 219-512-9910...and one more thing- BFHS is ahead of NBC, MYSPACE, chicago reader, their own site that they put together:), and 2 more sites that I have no clue who they are- and guess what else- FACEBOOK aint nowhere to be found on the 1st page- I keeping yall about FB v google! When it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), that is something that we aint perfect at- but we do have a pretty good handle on- I will take my chances against most in a battle!

Does your Business have one foot in the grave?

2010-07-24T12:35:00.000-05:00

Tonight I was reading an article on yahoo news and it listed several big-time business or at least they used to be big-time, that are poised to disappear in 2011 at least this is what the experts say!

So what does Blockbuster, Dollar Thrifty, Readers Digest, Zales, and Radio Shack all have in common- they were all listed in this report- and I tend to agree with the author- as all have physical addresses and are basically brick and mortar businesses. I also have to agree with the exception of Readers Digest- who could turn it all around and put their info on the net, even for free and cash in on advertising to support their business that is doomed for history books... no pun intended!

I constantly tell the BFHS network all the time- that they better learn the internet or the internet will learn them- I don't care how successful your storefront is- you can't beat the net and the person in your niche that figures the net out first- is going to win the battle. In no way am I saying that you shouldn't have a brick and mortar business- but if you don't have both- you are a fool... even if is just a blog that points to a few different products that you can sell online or keep your visitors abreast on the newest and greatest in your niche- even your comings and going and I don't care what anyone thinks- facebook and twitter alone or combined are not going to get it.

Things I recommend... continue reading after you sign up to get the lastest and greatest marketing tips before you competition does:

It REALLY works! On to my 2nd Wrap- tighten that tummy!

2010-07-23T21:37:00.001-05:00

Ultimate Body Applicator

If you've been following, then you know all about the excitement with The Ultimate Body Applicator. Wednesday night I wrapped again - which makes wrap #2 and this time I didnt bloat. When I took it off, my skin felt really good. Even when I pinched the fat, it felt different. Before I could grab the fat and feel like little bumps and lumps. I dont feel that now. I realize my stomach has always been a stubborn area, even when I was thinner. So to see any results (without doing anything else, mind you) is amazing to me.

Hmm...wonder what the wrap is gonna do when I get it on the back of my thighs- Will I be able to wear shorts for the 1st time since I dont remember?

For those of you in the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area, dont forget you can try wrap for yourself THIS WEEKEND. See the full event listing for details.

The Hottest BEST Black Radio Stations where you are -BFHS Fans Pick

2010-07-23T19:24:00.000-05:00

I know how troubling it can be sometimes when you are traveling through a major city in the united states and you run out of Black Music, not saying that country or rock music is bad- but I still need some R & B, Hip Hop or Rap to keep me awake- I know, I know, just about everyone has a CD Player or a MP3 player- but at the same time- applications like I heart Radio would not be worth squat if people didn't still listen to the radio. Today I polled the fans of Black Folk Hot Spots to find out the hottest Radio Station in their town and this is what they said...

In the order they came in... Here was the question as well -If someone asked you what the best radio station is in your town- what station would you say and what city... thanks(feel free to post your pick in the comment section and I will add it to the list)
