Marketing Profs is A Helpful Resource ;)
I was pricing a website the other day and actually it was a pretty in depth website, so it wasn’t really something we could give a fixed rate out on due to the complexities well when I was searching for a few things to get a few ideas on and to get more insight on this site I ran across Marketing Proofs which I have heard of it several times before I just never really paid much attention to it.
Well as I started to browse through there I was like wow this has some valuable information which granted not every one on there knows what there talking about (hopefully no one takes that personal if there reading this). I did notice though they had some very helpful articles written that has to due a lot with internet marketing, branding, blogging, and etc.
For example take a look at the following below on what exactly this site covers and how it can be educational.
- Marketing Resources: This part of the website has a lot of articles to offer which other people submitted them, so you can’t trust everything you read, so use your best judgment, but over all this site has some valuable information for a beginner or someone in there more advanced levels. If your a blog publisher I seen some great helpful tips in there for blog publishers I would suggest checking them out.
- Find a Post Job: If your into marketing as much as I am and you love marketing jobs there is some great listings in there for numerous locations which granted I’m not looking for a job by any means I have my company and several people that work under me, but for any one that loves marketing and might be looking for a job there is some excellent leads in there.
- Blog: You know there blog does not look to bad, but I think it could use some improvements by every means such as writing more unique in depth post. To be quite honest with you I’m surprised it don’t have more subscribers I’m not sure how long the blog has been out, but I do know marketing Profs gets some traffic to there site thats for sure.
- Forum: The lovely forum, this is not a bad resource at all. Ask a question and you’ll get some great answers and most generally from what I’ve noticed its from more experienced people, and there more direct with there answers which there is a lot of resources that provide educational information to such as Digital Point, V7n, Webmaster World, and etc, but I would still suggest getting into this community as well as any other communities your involved in because I got some pretty good answers back, but what really caught my eyes was the articles that was written up.
Conclusion
That should be it, but mainly the whole reason I decided to review this website and write about it was to let my readers be aware that this can be a great site for more education. To be all honest with you I’d say the best blogs to read and the best articles to read is from people that have been successful in there marketing careers, or even people that are moving forward very fast. I think forums are great to read by all means, but some of the people that hang out in the forums are more of forum junkie then anything, but when they do catch some great information they’ll pass it on and its just a matter or not if you use that information and pursue it, its called social networking :).
