Focus on:

 

• Connecting with customers.
• To do that, offer something of value for free, like an eBook, report, or packet of information.
  
• In exchange, people will likely provide their contact information, including their email addresses.
  

 

 

Write great SEO

 

People search Google for products and services daily. They start that search and find what they’re looking for through selective SEO, or search engine optimization words.
