Dynamic QR Codes Made Easy
You may have seen that some slick marketing folks have introduced the valuable concept
of “Dynamic QR Codes”. These are “magic” QR Codes that you can print once but go back and change the behavior or destination that mobile prospects are presented when scanned.
So you see the value? Instead of printing new marketing materials every time you change the QR Code offer, you can print once and simply change the offer.
So the quick and easy way to add a dynamic component to your qr code is to give it a static forwarding url. It costs you nothing, but adds tremendous value to the QR Code.
Check out this video and I’ll walk you through the value and process.
It’s that simple. Create a QR Code Here

Reputation Managment Call With Costas Peppas
Live Training Replay Now Available!
Watch Here
I met Costas Peppas a couple of months ago at a live event and was really impressed with the way he integrates Reputation Management into his services.
Costas has been running his own Local Offline Consulting business for the past 8 years and, in my opinion, has one of the most important skills for success in this business… He Listens.
By listening to businesses needs, he has carved out an extremely profitable niche by helping businesses with an extremely painful problem. Damaged Online Reputation.
Managing a small businesses reputation can be one of the most important services you can offer, especially if negative reviews and misinformation is a large part of their web presence.

Controlling YouTube Video Behavior
You may have more control over YouTube Videos than you think. Check out this video and start using the YouTube Embed Wizard for you Video Marketing.
The IFrame Wizard uses the newest features from YouTube such as HTML5 compatibility which makes it Apple IStuff compatible. Some features are lost such as colored border.
The Embed Wizard uses the old code, which is still all over the internet. In fact, there are some instances where this will be the only code supported or allowed, such as posting sites, forums, etc… that won’t allow IFrame code.
Have fun.

Local SEO Call With Michael X
There are a lot of myths and misinformation floating around SEO and Local Search in particular. I had a chance to record this conversation with Michael X, who I regard as one of the top Local SEO minds. Not just in the technical aspect but as a marketer as well. One of the biggest reasons we can provide so much value to local businesses is because we focus on the marketing as much as the technology, which is rare indeed.
