Should you be paying $200-$1,000 per month for so-called "SEO optimization?" Almost certainly NOT!. In fact, as you will discover in this video, ranking in search and great reputation management are almost ALWAYS the product of solid, Google-compliant marketing, not vice-versa. In this special Rebel Agents Dispatch training, Tammy and her special guest, Infofuel and Retirevo.com. founder Sherilyn Orr discuss why SEO is often a lot of hype that does NOTHING to help you grow your business. #seo While this training is directed at #insuranceagents , #financialadvisers, #CPAs, and others, ANY small business owner trying to get noticed in the digital world will profit. We answer questions such as: Is most of the SEO marketed today mostly overpriced, empty promises? (yes!) What do agents and advisors REALLY need from their digital marketing? What you NEVER want to do when it comes to your digital "real estate?" Why it's a bad idea to let your IMO or FMO do all your marketing. and a whole lot more. Stop putting your money and time into marketing that will never work. Tammy and Sherilyn will show you the decidedly NON-fancy, non-technical "storytelling" marketing that can take your business to new heights. #seo #financialwebsites, #seoforfinancialservices, #insuranceseo, #seosucks, #searchengineoptimization #searchengineoptimizationtips #searchenginemarketing, #insurancemarketingagency #insurancemarketing, #insuranceagents #integritymarketing #annuityagentsalliance #anthonyowen #anthonyowens, #tonyowen, #chadowen, #aegis, #fmo, #imo #annuitymarketing #insuranceagents #annuitycom #broich #trifecta, #safemoneyradio, #safe-money-radio-reviews, #agentmarketing, #annuityagentmarketing, #annuityagent, #annuity-agent, #sellingannuities, #sell-more-annuities, #safemoney #insuranceagent #insuranceleads, #tonyowen, #anthonyowen, #bill-broich, #retirevillage, #broichtrifecta Check out our websites: https://www.financialinvitedauthor.com https://www.safemoneytrends.com https://www.rebelagents.com

Even in the age of #AI, relevant, real content is still king. Financial advisors and agents looking for shortcuts to creating interesting, unique, human-made content may be on the wrong track.

AI CAN be helpful, but it's not the only thing you need to get yourself out there.

How can you be sure your content will please the Google Gods and not get your blog or website blacklisted? Yes, Google has new content guidelines emphasizing CONTENT CREATED BY PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE. No longer will content creators and webmasters be able to pull off those "gray hat" tricks designed to fool Google into ranking your content higher. Quality, relevance, and REAL-ness are more important to search than ever befor. According to Google, when you create content, you should always be asking yourself these questions: Do you have an existing or intended audience for your business or site that would find the content useful if they came directly to you? Does your content clearly demonstrate first-hand expertise and a depth of knowledge (for example, expertise that comes from having actually used a product or service, or visiting a place)? Does your site have a primary purpose or focus? After reading your content, will someone leave feeling they've learned enough about a topic to help achieve their goal? Will someone reading your content leave feeling like they've had a satisfying experience? Are you keeping in mind our guidance for core updates and for product reviews? There's a chance that you will NEVER get your page rank or have your content pop up in search unless you do the right things and avoid practices like keyword stuffing and articles written solely to get search results. STOP THAT! IN this video, I discuss what financial advisors, agents, CPAs, real estate syndicators and others are doing right now to get found by Google without getting slapped in the process.

Once upon a time, Wild West entrepreneurs sold "snake oil." It could cure everything from lack of energy to bunions to hair loss. According to historians, this miracle cure was typically made from mineral oil, a fatty oil believed to be beef fat, red pepper and turpentine.

Were some people CURED after taking this concoction? Perhaps via the placebo effect. You know if you want something to work badly enough, it just might. For the most part, however, snake oil was a huge ripoff and it took advantage of peoples' gullibility and ignorance.

In the 21st century, insurance agents, financial advisors, and others are getting ripped off by the snake oil of ENDLESS CHEAP BUT AWESOME LEADS generated by a variety of tools, including land radio.

Before you invest a single cent (much less thousands of dollars!) in turnkey land radio such as #SAFEMONEYRADIO, take a listen to my take on this purported marketing powerhouse. Land radio is in death throes. Don't get conned by your IMO or FMO.

There really is nothing new under the sun, moon, or stars when it comes to financial advisor and insurance agent marketing. Still, the IMOs, and FMOs continue to pitch magical, mystical LEAD GENERATION systems. Most of these don't work well, unless the idea is to empty your wallet.

In this episode, Tammy takes a look at Annuity.com's "new" marketing system, Retire Village, #Safemoney Radio, and all that nonsense. Supposedly, this new/old element is part of a "marketing trifecta." Is this the real deal or phony baloney? In this review, Tammy D. of Safe Space Podcast and https://www. safemoneytrends.com examines claims made by Bill Broich and others that they have a special alchemy that allows them create leads from thing air the same way The Fed creates money from thin air. In this video, Tammy D. reviews the marketing material for the revamped #retirevillage- a website for annuity, insurance agents and financial advisors. What is this so-called amazing, shiny new marketing tool? Will Trifecta truly help agents? This is my impartial as possible look at yet another attempt to drain insurance agents' and annuity advisors' pockets, luring them in with hollow promises of ALL YOU CAN EAT LEADS, almost, nearly, but not quite for free. Let's separate fact from fiction, hype from reality.. before they separate you from your hard-earned dollars. #insuranceagentmarketing, #insuranceagents #annuityleads #annuitymarketing, #insurancemarketing #annuity.com, #retirevillage, #retirementplanners. #getannuityleads, #trifecta. #aegis, #annuityagentsalliance #annuitycom https://www.safemoneytrends.com/ #annuitycom #broich #trifecta, #safemoneyradio, #safe-money-radio-reviews, #agentmarketing, #annuityagentmarketing, #annuityagent, #annuity-agent, #sellingannuities, #sell-more-annuities, #safemoney #insuranceagent #insuranceleads, #tonyowen, #anthonyowen, #bill-broich, #retirevillage, #broichtrifecta
