45% of Americans Are Afraid of This

My mouth was so dry that my tongue couldn’t move, so I drank a glass of water. My speech was coming up and I was terrified at the prospect of getting up behind the lectern and addressing the audience. I could feel my mouth drying out again so I poured another glass of water, and then another, and then another, until I had drained the whole pitcher – now I had another problem on my hands. I really should take a bathroom break, but now I didn’t have time – my turn in front of the audience had come. Read the full article →

Password Security

I could hear the frustration in Walt’s voice over the phone. “I’m looking at my website right now and instead of a home-page, I’ve got a black page that says I’ve been hacked.” After restoring Walt’s website from a clean backup, I turned my focus to determining how the hacker got in. As it turned out, Walt was using his favorite password for his website – the same password that he had used on many accounts for years. He knew that he should update his password, but he hadn’t done so because until that morning it didn’t seem all that important. With cyber-crime on the rise, let’s take a quick look at one of the most common ways that passwords are compromised and what 3 things you can do to keep your login information safe.

Customer Service Lessons From Infusionsoft

I checked my inbox, and the email I was expecting wasn’t there. I clicked refresh – still nothing. I checked the junk folder to make sure it wasn’t there, back to the inbox – still nothing. The preview copy of my ezine hadn’t arrived. In keeping with email best practices, I always send a preview copy to myself before sending it to all of my subscribers. This practice has served me well and I wasn’t about to just schedule the mailing simply because I couldn’t see the preview. I don’t give up that easy. As the day unfolded I learned about the night of disaster at Infusionsoft. Read the full article →

SEO Mistakes To Avoid

SEO Mistakes To Avoid

Recently I was reviewing a website that, in the interest of privacy, shall remain nameless. The website was remarkable, primarily because it was filled with so many classic examples of what not to do if you want to show up on the top page of Google. It was precisely because of these SEO faux pas that the site was penalized by the search engines. When it comes to websites – an ounce of prevention is far better (and less costly) than a pound of cure. Let’s look at one SEO mistake that you’ll want to avoid like the plague.

Grandma Slotsve

This week I said goodbye for the last time to my Grandmother in Canada. The trip (3 days by car) up to her house was the highlight of summer for my brother and I as kids. All the Aunts, Uncles, and cousins would converge on her house during the week that we were there. How she fed the army of people and remembered to make everyone’s favorite foods, I still haven’t figured out. Even when Lutefisk was on the menu, she made sure that there was plenty else to eat for the grandchildren who hadn’t acquired the taste for this traditional Norwegian dish. Read the full article →

SEO Basics – Search Engine Optimization For Dummies

What is it that makes a website rank in the #1 spot for a Google search query? How does Google determine which websites to display in the first page of search results? The exact answer is a secret guarded more closely than the IRS formula for who gets audited. However, many factors in Google’s secret search algorithm are known.

For over three years, I struggled with websites that broke down, lacked SEO and were not attracting traffic, all with website developers who were difficult to reach or understand. When I asked potential clients how they found me, I kept hoping that just once they would say “through your website”, but that never happened – until I met Charles. Charles has gone above and beyond anything I ever expected from a website...

Working with Charles has moved my business plan from stagnation to launch! Before I started working with Charles I was floundering and frustrated, and had spent months trying to do things on my own. I had a vision for my online business, but the technology demands for setting up my website were beyond my skill level. I also needed guidance on building my list, so I was looking for someone who would do more...

I interviewed several companies and just did not find the right company that I felt really understood our business. I was having lunch with some attorneys who work across the hall from me, and they first told me about Charles Ogwyn and My Internet Marketing Partner. Charles had recently built a new web site for them and they were very happy with it. Charles understood our business right away and was easy to talk to...

Before working with Charles our website was functional, kind of, but flat out ugly! Our hands were full running the day to day operations of our business, with no extra time to overhaul our outdated website. Charles quickly showed us how to improve sales, attract new customers and build trust with our shoppers, making their experience effortless. The process was completely painless and easy...

Last year, my website did not work for me. My customers had multiple problems with the shopping cart. I met Charles in September and hired him to “fix” the website, if possible. He quickly fixed it so that I could add and edit product descriptions and determined that several key features weren’t fixable. Then we began the journey of a new website with a very workable shopping cart. It works! My customers love it! Charles ...

It is true there are many web designers out there and I am sure many are very good at what they do from a technical standpoint. But what was equally important to me was to work with someone with integrity…and who showed genuine concern for the success of my new small business. Charles was able to deliver on every level. I was truly grateful for his invested diligence and exemplary patience. I know he will ...
