Questions we discussed
Q1 Pauline, how did you get into Internet Marketing?
It all started when I built my first website back in 2006. I considered myself as a web/graphic designer that time until I learned about SEO. Almost every website owner was constantly talking about it which had me curious with how it works. So I started to play with it and followed the tips and advice from the pros. While doing SEO, I’ve also discovered the other methods of internet marketing such as SMM, email marketing, affiliate marketing, etc. I got really interested in how they all work so I kept experimenting and even tried some softwares out of curiosity ?
Myspace? Seriously? :))) RT @Twelveskip: @jessytroy I actually forgot! They were all from Myspace ? #vcbuzz

Q3 What’s your most efficient way to drive traffic to a blog post?
Social media! I make each blog post shareable by injecting simple infographics and by adding social share buttons. Then I promote it across social media channels and sharing groups – Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, LinkedIn and StumbleUpon. My favorite social sharing sites are Triberr, ViralContenBuzz, Scoop.it, JustRetweet. I recommend adding “PIN IT” hover button on your websites as well. It makes it easier for people to pin your images ?

Q5 Having so many interests and doing so good at your Internet Marketing ventures, how do you keep yourself organized?
Ha! I’m not an organized person! LOL ? But… I always have a paper beside me where I’d list all the things I want to get done. I try to focus on one thing at a time. For example, this week I’ll focus on this project. Next week, I’ll focus on that project.
How about you guys? Do you use a planner?
@Twelveskip I use Excel and recently Scapple (30 day free trial) it’s like having multiple whiteboards on your computer #vcbuzz

For major things – yes. Otherwise it will get cluttered RT @Twelveskip: @seosmarty OHHH, do you use a calendar? ? #vcbuzz
