Re: Info for would be franchisers...
- [quote="Sebastien":1d29sdv1]Like Franchise Times, Franchise Update is a very practical magazine. There is no blah blah, just straight facts that anyone in the franchise community can relate to. I just want to mention that all these magazines are NOT franchisee oriented. I mean these magazines are for franchise professionals. If you're looking to buy a franchise, you won't find much information in there.
To answer your question, getting published in Franchise Times was fairly easy. I don't want to brag too much but I think I am known in the franchise industry. I was the marketing guy at Franchise.com for a few years before joining my new company, the World Franchising Network. So people know me and I have a very good relationship with Nancy Weingartner, the Managing Editor at Franchise Times. I was talking with her at the last Franchise Expo South in Miami and she mentioned she'd like me to be profiled. I was like "ok, sure!". I like this franchise executive profile thing in Franchise Times as it is rarely BS. People are usually really natural in there.[/quote:1d29sdv1]
Thanks for the follow up Sebastien! And I can't say that I'm surprised that networking with the right people and managing your relationships with them properly are the keys to being published.
I guess the old adage holds true of "it's not who you know, but who knows you" that's important.
Re: Search Engine Optimization
- I have gone from position 199 to position 8 for my local keyword "************** greenville, sc" But, nationally I am not even within the top 200 sites. I had a PR of 1 and ranked 150 or so nationally but nothing really on a local level. My extensions were not good with my prior theme either. They were like tobuso.com/ccprocess instead of tobuso.com/credit-card-processing which they are now. So maybe I lost some google juice because the extensions changed. But, how long will it take to recover and how long will it take to start ranking nationally if I keep up the blogging, link building, smm, ect?

- [quote="Nana":gla81p60]I am not sure of the exchange rate, but $500 US doesn't seem all that much. [/quote:gla81p60]
And if it's NOT that much to raise... open up a service you can provide for non-Indian project providers.
Elance.com, Guru.com, Rentacoder.com employ thousands of Indian service providers who complete projects and often times you can recoup $500 in one job. You just have to sell yourself there and complete a few projects.
Warmest Regards,
