How is online marketing different for professionals?

I have found that professionals are leary of online marketing. If this is you, it means you have a great opportunity to strengthen your practice. The fears I have heard are:

  1. looking unprofessional - bikini photos don't belong on facebook anyway
  2. being intrusive - sending unwanted information
  3. breach of trust - you can't share client names in a blog etc.

These are all good points that should provide guiding values in crafting your marketing strategy - they should not prevent you from action. People still do business with those that they know, like and trust.

Many professionals actually avoid facebook - especially when privacy may be an issue. This does NOT preclude marketing online. There is a plethora of options available.

Your website - share news, alerts, checklists and worksheets

Your blog - case studies that do not identify the client can show your passion and expertise

Twitter - what you Tweet is what you are passionate about - community involvement, wowing a client, great employees

LinkedIN - connect with other professionals. As this is a B2B network it is a naturally starting point. Nurture your connections to your referral network by sharing business news, commenting on their status updates and referring those you highly respect.

Information

What's it for

The 960 Grid System is a CSS framework that allows designers to quickly produce complex layouts. This template is for Joomla! 1.5, it includes the 960 Grid System and the basics of a normal Joomla! template. You can use this template to create your own Joomla! templates using the 960 Grid System.

How it works

The 960 Grid System uses containers consisting of either 12 or 16 columns. In the 12 column containers, columns are a total of 80 pixels wide, this consists of 60px of content area and 10 pixels either side of margin area. The 16 column containers, columns are 60 pixels wide, this consists of 40 pixels of content area and 10 pixels either side of margin. Within the containers we can define <div> elements that span one or more columns. For example, this content exists inside a 12 column container and spans a total of 7 columns.

Joomla! Template Positions

Positions are used in Joomla! to allow us to place content in different positions on the page. Positions are defined on a per template basis. The positions used by this template are shown in the image to the right. Note that user positions 2 and 3 will automatically align to the left should there be no content in user positions 1 and 2 respectively.
