INTRODUCTION:

Your “how to” blog post should teach the reader how to do something by breaking it down into a series of steps.

Begin your blog post by explaining what problem you are going to solve through your explanation and be sure to include any relevant keywords. Add in a personal story to establish your credibility on this topic. And make sure to end your blog post with a summary of what your reader will gain by following your lead.

Need some inspiration? Check out these "How-To" examples from the HubSpot blog:



BODY:

Now deliver what you promised in the first section. This is the longest part of the post, so make it easy to read. Use short paragraphs, bullet lists, and bold headings to set different sections apart. 

Some common section headers include:

Step 1: Getting Started

Step 2: Do Your Background Research on…

Step 3: First Steps for…

Step 4: Analyze and Repeat

Step 5: Wrapping Up

You can use bulleted lists, numbered list, or multiple headings. Include as many steps, numbers, or bullets that will allow you to discuss your topic thoroughly.

Here are some pointers to make the best possible body of your blog:
  • Include visuals
  • Include short explanatory phrases in your headers
  • At the end, transition into your conclusion


CONCLUSION:

Now it’s time to say goodbye and wrap up your post. Remind your readers of your key takeaway, reiterate what your readers need to do to get the desired result, and ask a question about how they see the topic to encourage comments and conversation.

QuickBooks Solutions : Cloud or Desktop?

Posted on Tue, Apr 29 2014 @ 11:19 AM

You may know that QuickBooks offers a terrific cloud-based solution, as well as a desktop solution, but how do you decide between the online version and the desktop version? 

Where will you be doing your accounting?

To make a smart decision for your business, take into consideration where you will be doing most of your accounting work and what kind of remote access you will need. Will you be working from an office or traveling a lot?  Are you the only one that will be accessing the program? 

QuickBooks credit card integration

Check out the comparison below to help you decide what’s right for you!

Either version of QuickBooks may serve you and your business well.  Analyze your business strategy to select which QuickBooks platform will be most beneficial to you.  Each business is unique and what works best for one company may not for another. If you require remote access often and multiple user accounts, the cloud solution may be a perfect fit! If you don't travel often and only need access to QuickBooks at your desk, the desktop version may be the more cost effective solution for your company. Ultimately, as a business owner, it is your decision and you need to determine which features will help your business grow and thrive!

How to Prepare Your Auto Dealership for Social Media Marketing

Posted on Fri, Apr 11 2014 @ 11:53 AM

It's no secret that B2B (business to business) marketing and B2C (business to consumer) marketing has changed significantly in the past five years. One of the primary reasons for this is the growth of social media.  Successful businesses are becoming resources for their customers, regularly creating valuable content of interest and sharing it freely across the social sphere.

If your auto dealership (or any business for that matter) has yet to dive in to social media, it's time to get on the bandwagon. You're already behind, so there's no time to waste! One of the big mistakes made by companies, however, is jumping in without a plan.

auto dealership merchant account

Here are six tips to prepare your auto dealership for social media marketing so you do it right from the start.

  1. Set clear goals for the social media efforts of your auto dealership.
    Like anything else, without goals you cannot measure whether anything has been acheived. Good goals are measurable and have a timeframe associated with them.

  2. Ensure that you have enough personel resources dedicated to the effort.
    If you don't have the personel in house, then consider hiring an agency to assist you. The key to an effective social media presence is great content, consistency, engagement, and monitoring. This does not happen by logging in to Facebook just once per week and making a sales post.

  3. Commit to building great content and giving it away.
    This is the age of the customer. Customers have access to more information, reviews, testimonials, and studies than ever before. If you want to position yourself as the expert in your field and have your auto dealership dominate in your area, you need to make helpful information available to your client-base freely and regularly, across multiple channels.

  4. Identify what social channels your customers are using and how they are using them.
    There are only so many hours in the day. Ideally, you would be publishing across all the major social channels, but if your time is limited then you need to find out where your customers are hanging out and make those channels your priority. Are they on Facebook? Twitter? Google+?  Are they using Pinterest?  Find out the answer and make sure your auto dealership has an active presence there.

  5. Clean up your website.
    One of the by-products of effective social media campaigns is increased traffic to your website. What does your website do for your auto dealership today? Does it have effective calls to action and lead capturing capabilities? If not, take the time to fix this. When you are driving new traffic to your site, you want to make sure you have the ability to capture information and get the prospective customer to do what you want them to while they are there!

  6. Measure your results regularly.
    Remember tip number one? If you've set measurable goals, make sure you actually stop after the time period you specified and review what you've done and the results that you've achieved. Review what did and did not work. Tweak your process, set a new goal, and repeat!

Just like anything else in business, if you start with a plan, your chances of success are amplified!  With these simple steps, your auto dealership (and again, ANY business) will be off and running building great social media presence.

Facebook Business Pages Getting a New Look

Posted on Tue, Apr 08 2014 @ 10:11 AM

Facebook is rolling out a new look to business pages in April 2014. The new look not only allows visitors to view your business information more easily, but it also helps your page administrators better navigate through the available Facebook business tools. 

flat fee merchant account

Key Changes to Facebook Company Page Layout

1. Timeline Design

No more jumping from the left to the right to read the most recent posts on a business page.  The new timeline design for business pages will be similar to the news feed and current personal profile timelines.  Now you will see the most recent posts on the right side of the page, while the left side of the page is filled with your business information.  All of the information that is currently horizontal along the top of your business page will be moved to the left-hand column on the timeline.  This information includes a map, your business hours, phone number and website URL. Your videos, photos and apps will also be featured in the left-hand column.  Below that information you will find your reviews and posts by others on your page.  Now your posts will be the first thing visitors see on the right instead of who likes the page and posts by others.   

2. Access to Admin Tools

Wherever you are on your page, you will always have access to the most important information for business administrators: page likes, post reach, notifications and messages.  A box on the right-hand side will display these numbers for you to easily view at anytime as it moves along with you while you scroll down the page.  Instead of the current admin panel you have at the top of your business page, the new layout features a navigation bar where you can easily access the specific information that you want.  These tabs include Activity, Insights, Settings, Build Audience and Help.  On the Insights page, you can access the statistics on your likes, reach, engagement, visits, people and posts.  The Build Audience tab will provide access to your Ads manager.   

3. Pages to Watch

Currently, there is a spot in your admin panel where you can add pages to watch such as your competitors or other pages related to yours.  This feature has been moved to Insights tab in the new admin navigation bar.  In the Overview section, you can see some key statistics about the pages you are watching and compare them to your own page.  You can view more detailed information on what posts are working for them and their engagement over the past week under the Pages tab of the Insights.  This feature allows you to stay on top on your competition! 

4. Relocation of Facebook Tabs

The Facebook tabs for photos, events, apps and more that were customizable with photos and text will no longer appear horizontally under your cover photo.  These are now available under the more tab and in the left-hand column of the newly designed timeline layout under your business information. 

5. Encouragement to “Like” Page

Visitors to your business page (who have not already) will be encouraged to “like” your page.  As they are scrolling through your timeline looking at the content, a white bar prompt will pop –up that says “Get updates from Your Business in your News Feed” with a call to action button to “Like” your page.  As the visitor scrolls down, the bar floats along with them so it is always in front of them while they are on your page. 

Administrators should watch for a notice as Facebook gradually rolls out this new look.  Once you have clicked to reserve your spot on the waiting list, give it a few days for the new version of your page to appear.  As with other updates, Facebook is known to reset your page settings to a default setting.  This can actually cause some of your posts to be hidden which will result in a “Facebook Oops” graphic on your page instead of the content you intended to be shown.  Once you receive the new 2014 Facebook page layout, be sure to check and reconfigure your settings where needed.

LinkedIn Offers Showcase Pages for Businesses

Posted on Mon, Mar 31 2014 @ 09:58 AM

LinkedIn Company Pages provide a way for businesses to gain exposure online by including details about products and services.  Recently, LinkedIn evaluated how their "products and services" pages were being used. They found that people visited the company pages, but didn't click through to view the detailed products and services pages. As a result, the "Products and Services" tab will no longer be available after April 14th.  Instead, busineses will now have the ability use "Showcase Pages" to highlight their servces.  With Showcase Pages, you can extend your Company Page presence and focus your message to engage very specific audiences. 

Use these step by step instructions to set up LinkedIn Showcase Pages for your business, to replace your existing Products & Services pages.

    Information You Will Need

      You must be a LinkedIn Company Page administrator to create new Showcase Pages.  The information you will need to gather before creating your page includes:

      • Showcase Page Name
      • Showcase Page Description (75-200 characters)
      • Industry
      • Name of at least 1 Showcase Page administrator
      • Hero Image (974 x 330 pixels in PNG, JPEG or GIF format with a max. file size of 2 MB)

       

        Create the Page and Assign Administrators

          On your LinkedIn Company Page, click the down arrow next to the blue Edit button near the top of the page.  Then select Create a Showcase Page.  You will then be prompted to enter the name of your Showcase Page that will be visible to the public.  You are automatically assigned as an administrator to the new page, but you also have the opportunity to add other administrators.  However, you must be a 1st degree connection to that person to add them.  Once you hit create, the page exists, but won’t appear in search results or in the linked pages shown for your Company Page yet.  At this point you can start editing the page and inserting all the information you gathered beforehand.   

          flat fee merchant account   

            Publish the Page and Start Posting

              Once the page looks the way you want, either you or one of the other administrators you assigned has the ability to finalize the page.  Once you click Publish, your new Showcase Page will be public.  Just like with Company Pages, you should post updates to your new Showcase Page regularly.  The Showcase Pages are child pages of your existing Company Page and therefore LinkedIn members can actually follow those pages to get those updates as well.  This allows you to target certain messages to certain audiences. 

              As an example, Novera Payment Solutions created a LinkedIn Showcase Page off our company page to feature our QuickBooks online credit card processing plugin. You can see what the updates look like in the image below.  Much like updates you make on Facebook, you can push messages, links, and images to your Showcase Pages daily.

              linkedin showcase pages

              The Showcase Pages are designed for building long-term relationships with members rather than for short-term marketing campaigns.  With this change, unfortunately members can no longer recommend your products and services.  If you currently have recommendations through your products and services tab that you don’t want to lose, you can either copy them to your own document or request a copy from LinkedIn here:

              http://help.linkedin.com/app/ask/path/rcpsr

              While the products and services pages are going away, these new pages will be able to showcase the most important aspects of your business such as a specific brand, business unit or company initiative, so there's a huge upside to LinkedIn making this change.

              LinkedIn is one of the most powerful online marketing tools, especially for B2B marketing, so invest some time to make your new Showcase Pages stand out!   

              For more information, you can visit LinkedIn's Help & Support area:

              http://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/47952/~/company-pages-products-%26-services-page---no-longer-supported

              7 Elements of an All-Star LinkedIn Profile

              Posted on Wed, Mar 19 2014 @ 03:32 PM

              Sometimes referred to as the business version of Facebook, LinkedIn is considered a critical place to connect with other businesses.  While many people have profiles set up, most are not optimized to provide the best business opportunities possible. 

              Here are 7 tips to help you get your LinkedIn profile to All-Star status.

                1. Create a Complete, Detailed and Updated Profile linkedin profile

                  The only way to effectively be found on LinkedIn is to have your profile complete. The LinkedIn search algorithm looks for 100% completed profiles, so if yours is not complete, you will likely end up at the bottom of search results.  Not only does a complete profile help you rank well within LinkedIn searches, public LinkedIn profiles are also indexed by Google.

                  Look to the right of your profile page and you should see a space titled “Profile Strength.”   The levels are Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert and All-Star.  You can increase your profile strength by clicking the “Improve Your Profile” button at the top of your profile page.  You will be prompted to answer questions that will help to complete your profile.  You can also manually edit any section of your profile that you wish. 

                  The following areas must be filled in to reach All-Star status:

                  • Your Industry and Location
                  • Your Current Position (with a description)
                  • Two Past Positions
                  • Your Education
                  • Your Skills (minimum of 3)
                  • A Profile Photo
                  • At Least 50 Connections

                   

                    2.  Write an Engaging Headline

                      Think of your headline on LinkedIn as the subject line of an email.  You need something to catch the reader’s attention and make them want to check out your profile.  By default, your company name and title is used by LinkedIn in the headline area. This does not make for a very good headline.  Fortuantely, you can edit the headline, but you only have 120 characters, so make them count! 

                      Headline tips to consider:

                      • Use Keywords When Appropriate
                      • Use Words that Appeal to Your Clients
                      • Include a Call-to-Action
                      Example:
                      Want to save on credit card processing?  I can help – call for a Free 15-Minute Consult!

                       

                        3.   Use a Professional Profile Photo

                          A LinkedIn profile with a professional headshot is seven times more likely to be viewed than a profile without one.  In order to obtain a 100% LinkedIn profile status, a profile photo is required. 

                          Profile photo tips:

                          • Use a headshot, preferably in professional attire
                          • Do not use images with cropped out people or selfies
                          • Do not use grainy, pixilated or poorly lit photos
                          • Your photo should be square, rather than rectangular in layout
                          • Limit the file size to 4 MB (maximum size allowed by LinkedIn)
                          • Crop the photo to pixel size between 200 x 200 and 500 x 500

                           

                            4.  Consider Strategic Keyword Placement

                              Don't annoy your profile viewers with excessive keywords; however, LinkedIn’s search algorithm does value keywords in certain sections more than others, so keep that in mind when writing various sections of your profile. 

                              The strategic use of keywords in your LinkedIn profile can be important, so be sure to place them in these sections:

                              • Headline
                              • Summary
                              • Current Work Experience
                              • Past Work Experience
                              • Skills and Expertise

                               

                                5.  Build Connections and Credibility

                                  To gain "All-Star" profile status you have to boost your connections to at least 50.  So how can you get more connections? Make your message stand out, so the person on the other end wants to connect with you. LinkedIn gives you an option to include a personalized message with the email that LinkedIn generates ... be sure to use it.

                                  Adding your skills is also necessary for "All-Star" profile status; however, you can go beyond that and use recommendations to build credibility on the skills you’ve listed. People tend to give more credibility to a third party recommendation, so LinkedIn recommendations are so important. When trying to build your recommendations, embrace the idea of givers gain. If you give a recommendation to someone else, they are more likely to give one in return. 

                                  Tips on giving great recommendations:

                                  • Keep it short and sweet
                                  • Include specific facts (eg. "saved our company $1,000 quarterly) in credit card processing fees)
                                  • Add sizzle (eg. "Jane Doe is absolutely brilliant!” rather than “Jane Doe is great at what she does.” 

                                   

                                    6. Customize Your LinkedIn URL

                                      By default, your LinkedIn profile URL consists of random alphanumerical characters.  However, you can edit this by going to “Settings,” “Edit Public Profile,” then “Customize Your Public Profile URL.”  You can enhance your personal brand by adding your name to your LinkedIn URL.  For added coverage, make sure that your Facebook, Google Plus and LinkedIn vanity URLs are all the same.  For example: www.linkedin.com/profile/janedoe and www.facebook.com/janedoe.    

                                        7. Use LinkedIn Applications

                                          You can enhance your profile in different ways by taking advantage of LinkedIn applications.  For example, if you write a blog for your company, you can install the WordPress app allowing you to sync blog posts with your LinkedIn profile.  Other sample applications that allow you to show off your work include Slideshare (for sharing presentations) and Box.net (for embedding videos in your profile).   

                                          LinkedIn is All About Business Connections

                                          Whether you are an entrepreneur, working for a non-profit, working for a company, or new to the business world altogether, LinkedIn is a great networking and connection tool to help you achieve your professional goals.  Having a professional LinkedIn profile set up with "All-Star" status can help you take advantage of business opportunities and connect with influencers in your industry.

                                          Posted on Wed, Mar 12 2014 @ 10:23 AM

                                          LinkedIn Groups are powerful online forums that QuickBooks® users can take advantage of.   By joining or creating groups, you can not only engage your customers, but interact with industry peers, and QuickBooks power users.

                                          A Quick Overview of LinkedInGroups

                                          Features of LinkedIn Groups

                                          Through LinkedIn Groups, you can collaborate with like-minded professionals and join in discussions about your interests.  Not only can you read and share content, but you can find answers to questions, post and view jobs, make business contacts and establish yourself as an industry expert.  By starting your own group, you can create customer relationships, gain access to an audience of professionals, raise brand awareness and position yourself as a thought leader. 

                                          Creating and Joining LinkedIn Groups

                                          From geographical location to industry trends, you can create or join a group on just about any topic you want.  Some groups are set up so the manager has to approve new members, but others are open to anyone who wishes to join.  Members can start a discussion on any topic, but occasionally the manager will have it set up to be approved before it is publicized. 

                                          Finding LinkedIn Groups

                                          You can join groups by browsing the suggestions LinkedIn has picked for you through the “Groups” tab.  Another way to find groups is by using the search tool with relevant keywords for groups you are interested in.  You can also see a complete list of LinkedIn groups by selecting “Group Directories” under the “Groups” tab.

                                          3 LinkedIn Groups for AutoTask Users

                                          Posted on Mon, Mar 03 2014 @ 02:04 PM

                                          If you are new to LinkedIn, you may not know all of the available tools to help you and your business.  Many social media users view LinkedIn as just the business version of Facebook, but there is actually much more to it.  For example, LinkedIn Groups are powerful online forums for you to use to engage your customers and industry peers. AutoTask users have three active LinkedIn Groups that are worth checking out!

                                          What is a LinkedIn Group?

                                          You can discover like-minded professionals and join discussions with people sharing common interests in LinkedIn Groups.  LinkedIn Groups provide a place for professionals in the same industry or with similar interests to share content, find answers, post and view jobs, make business contacts, and build credibility as industry experts.  Companies can also benefit from LinkedIn Groups by starting or sponsoring a new group.  In doing so, companies can establish relationships with customers, gain access to an audience of professionals, raise brand awareness and position themselves as a thought leader.      

                                          How do LinkedIn Groups work?

                                          Current LinkedIn users have already set up many different online forums that you can join to participate in discussions or make new connections.  Groups reflect a variety of interests, from a group for a company’s customer base to a group for debating emerging industry trends or even just a group based on a specific geographical area.  There are “open” groups that anyone can join and then there are others where the group manager has to approve new members.  Members may start a discussion on any topic, but occasionally it has to be approved by the group manager before it is posted publicly.  All members can typically comment freely on any of the posted subjects.   

                                          How do I find LinkedIn Groups to join?

                                          There are two ways to find LinkedIn Groups you may be interested in.  Click on the “Groups” tab and select “Groups You May Like,” you will then be provided with suggestions based on your personal LinkedIn activity and profile.  Another option for finding groups is using the search tool with relevant keywords for groups you are interested in.  You can also see a complete list of LinkedIn groups by selecting “Group Directories” under the “Groups” tab.          

                                          Now that you understand more about how LinkedIn Groups work and how they can help you and your business, check out some of these popular groups for Autotask users:
