Browsing my 2007 HTML Website: This PROVES You NEED to Pay Your Dues to Achieve Authentic Success

Watch as I browse through a 2007 archived version of my first ever website – spontaneousdevelopment dot com (2005 – 2014), which I lost (due to poaching of the domain name) in May 2014 and had to hurriedly replace with tayosolagbade dot com.

spontaneousdevelopmentdotco

In this video, I explain how I used manual html (hand) coding to build and maintain that website. Then I compare it to my current website – tayosolagbade dot com – built and maintained using WordPress (a Content Management System).

The differences between the appearances and backend functionalities required to run both websites are clear proof that one needs to be willing to pay one’s dues, if authentic success is to be achieved.

When You Need to Walk Away: [PDF VERSION] Sometimes a Client – EVEN A RICH ONE – Can Be Bad For YOU (Here’s Why)!

NB: This writeup was first published on Monday 24th September 2012 as Episode No. 56 of my Weekly Public Speaking IDEAS Page (PSIP) Newsletter on www.spontaneousdevelopment.com/blog (defunct in 2013/replaced by www.tayosolagbade.com/sdnuggets)

Not every prospect or client that comes along with an offer will be a good fit for you – EVEN IF s/he is rich! Knowing when to walk away is therefore a valuable skill.

If you accept work from everyone who makes an offer, there’s a good chance you’ll hurt your business eventually.

You Need to Protect Your Domain: Web Marketing Success Can Make IT a Target for Thieves!

SUBTITLE: Why Multi-Year Upfront Renewal of Your Website Is Smart

EXCERPT: I recently did a domain name availability check for a new domain one of my clients expressed interest in registering.

The client wanted the name on a .com TLD (Top Level Domain). Unfortunately, the search result revealed the .com variant was “Unavailable”. But the .net, .biz and .org alternatives were available – so we chose one, after a short discussion.

Later on, however, out of curiousity, I decided to visit .com domain name address that we discovered was already taken, to see who was using it. Why?

[FREE PDF] Why Marketing to Strangers Yields More Success

This 2014 article I published on my blog, features a hypothetical case of Rekiya, a chartered accountant, who left her salary job after 15 years, and launched her own consulting outfit. But after 6 months finding client business was tough.

She contacted friends, relatives, former colleagues and associates, but as always happens, people may know and like you.

However, if they do not have a “felt-need” for what you offer, they are unlikely to buy from you! They wish you well and so will try to be nice. But they may not respond with the interest that a total stranger in actual need of your solution will.

If Rekiya was a friend of mine, the experience based ideas I share in this article are some of what I would suggest to her.

Never Make Money Your Primary Goal for Doing Business [Achieve Success By Making Clients VALUE YOU]

“Marketing is creating conditions by which others decide on their own that they want what you’ve got.” —Burt Dubin

“Social media requires that business leaders start thinking like small-town shop owners. This means taking the long view and avoiding short-term benchmarks to gauge progress. It means allowing the personality, heart and soul of the people who run all levels of the business to show.” — Gary Vaynerchuk

We have a saying in Yoruba language:
