My Thoughts on Online Marketing
Interviewing, writing, and posting material is something that I have been doing for quite some time on a variety of publishing formats. From the early days of Twitter to newer sites around the web, content is king and everyone wants it, but everyone doesn't have the time to devote to it.
I have read numerous articles about all things related to writing, publishing, video marketing--you name it. One thing I consistently see is the lack of transparency with many of these so-called experts who claim to know how to increase traffic to our blogs and websites. The information is obvious most often and redundant. What I have learned is that you have to meet with a guru face-to-face (sometimes pay for his over-priced system), buy many books, and/or befriend a person who knows the tricks of the Internet world when it comes to marketing, building a social media presence and more. Most successful, online businesses pay for specific tools and human labor to increase page traffic, build subscribers and more. These "tools" can be quite expensive and confusing. Use the wrongs ones and you will lose everything that you worked hard to build.
If you are like me, always seeking ways to improve your online products, services and other things you offer people, just take note of what is already being done. You don't change what isn't broken. I think many of these prosperous businesses remain that way, because they aren't changing just because everyone else is and if they don't see where something is broken, they leave it alone. But for those systems that no longer work after they have tweaked existing strategies, analyzed results (or lack thereof ) they then rid themselves of them.
Another observation I have about online marketing and businesses is that they usually find sources of traffic in ways that most others don't. They may link up with offline organizations to drive traffic to their sites. They do things like become members of known groups in their industries paying top dollar to join, they will have online or offline meet ups, create a theme event addressing a specific community need, or partner with others while promoting their brands. These are just some of the things that they do and that I have been a part of to help drive traffic.
So when you think outside of the box when marketing your own business that is a good thing because wherever the people are, sooner or later they are going to get on the Internet, look you up and see what it is that you do. Once they do that, they will make a decision whether to partner with you or not. Therefore, be sure that you represent yourself well and if you need assistance, by all means reach out.

Wix Websites - Easy, Free
Lately Wix has been back in the media showing us just how easy it is to make a website. Awhile back, I decided to go for it. It really is so simple that an elementary school-aged kid can create one. If you would like a website, take a go at it and if it gets to be a bit too challenging, let's talk about it. My rates are reasonable. Here is what I put together, see Nicholl McGuire Media

Over the years, many websites have needed content about a variety of subjects to increase page views, generate subscribers, sell products, etc. This is just a small sample of online businesses I have submitted articles or accepted requests to write specific material for pay, advertising revenue or exposure. Each site has specific criteria and will indicate whether they pay or not.

Too Much, Too Soon Internet Dating Blues by Nicholl McGuire
With the holiday season fast approaching, so too comes the family dramas! I have been engaged with people on and offline about the things that matter to them the most: family, food, romance, etc. People want less drama and more love! Speaking of love, I have sat with some singles in search of Internet romance. Of course, I didn't pass up the opportunity to mention my book, "Too Much, Too Soon Internet Dating Blues." I also gave away three autographed copies. One young lady completed the book and told me she enjoyed reading it. She felt empowered and motivated to continue to date. We discussed many of the red flag warning signs. Learn more and be prepared for the pressure that comes from those "too good to be true," desperate singles out there. Get your copy today!

YouTube Channel NM Enterprise 7 - What are Listeners Saying...
It's controversial, personal, bold, faith-based,
emotional, and empowering!
"I have freedom from the bondage of spirit of abuse. Thanks for caring NM. I confessed my bitterness, revenge, hatred and anger toward the abusers. I have a new beginning."
"The Lord has been using you these past few months in mighty ways to speak to me..."
"Thank you so much for the information and support, I have watched so many of them and the advice you give is extremely helpful..."
"Thank you sister! This video helped so much... I just need a lot of time alone with God to heal and recover my strength..."
"...God used you this evening with a word of guidance for me.
This word has deeply touched me."
"I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU YOU HELPED ME ALOT."
"Video goes to heart of the matter."
"Keep up the good work NM. You are making a difference in the lives of others."
"This video is a great help. Thank you for being brave enough to report on unclean spirits and spiritual warfare. I know what you are talking about."
"I AM FREE, SO SISTER KEEP THE WORD GOING..."
"...great video and I did examine myself..."
See what these people are talking about for yourself.
It is a radical change of mindset about everything you think is important to you.
To God be the glory!

Someone is Going to Get Paid...
Someone must know something I don't know. The day that I decide to stop print on my book, one business plans to make more than a profit--I'm not mad at them--lol. This is by far the craziest amount of money yet that I have seen my book going for to date. I have a limited amount of autographed copies floating around and those who got my signature wanted me to address them. So there are no printed books that have just my signature (FYI to book collectors).
What's interesting about When Mothers Cry, I wrote the book when I had a newborn, a toddler, a tween and soon to be teen. Now things have changed in my life which makes that book a classic. Blessings to those people who own a copy! Currently (as of Nov. 2016), $450 plus used and $725 new.
