This blog is a little different from the others. You’re still guna learn something, but also, I wanted to use this opportunity to give back and share some of the many unique and empowering options out there for alternative gift ideas, with an SEO twist of course.
Below, I’ve curated my alternative gift guide of entrepreneurs who I love or I have had the pleasure of working with. So, if you’re stuck with gift inspiration, try some of these on for size.
AND make sure to pay attention, because this is also highlighting the different strategies you could implement in the digital part of your business, and I explain how and why below.
The alternative gift guide
Give the gift of health
It wouldn’t be a gift guide without a health tool gift idea right? Our lymphatic system is treated like the garbage disposal of our bodies, and nine times out of 10, we don’t normally do anything for it. AND rather than making it complicated there is an amazing tool (that I own and am using as I type) that can help easily rectify that. It’s called the flow orb. A wee solid vibrating ball that helps not only our fascia, but also opening up our lymphatic drainage pathways. Shelley Gawith’s blog on how you can boost your lymphatic flow with the tools really says it all. Sounds like your special person needs it? Buy it here.
Better money mindset
My mum likes to say ‘money is a necessary evil’, and I always respond with ‘try to rephrase that in a more positive light’. WHY? Because if you have a negative relationship with money, then your experiences with money will always be ‘difficult’ maybe ‘terrible’ or how about a ‘love-hate relationship’. BUT what if there was a way to see things differently? What if you could look at your finances as a positive thing in your life. Then you need to check out Kirsten, from Start Out Savvy, and get that special person in your life the Daily Wealth Drop. Where they’ll receive daily micro-trainings on how to fall in love with their finances, and just think…how much happier they’ll be?
Spiritual awakening
What’s more alternative on a gift guide than giving someone access to The Spiritual Awakening Course? Name it. I’ll wait.
Sam Simmons six week self paced course helps answer those weird and wacky questions, while confirming ‘no, you’re not losing your mind’. It’s perfect for those who are little woo woo and want to the explore the landscape more or if they have many BIG questions that require some guidance. The Spirituality with Sam is the platform to go to and this course is the perfect gift to give.
Learn hypnosis
I have to say…I think I’m kicking this alternative gift guide’s butt with the different options I’m giving you. How’s learning to do self-hypnosis sound? Taryn Feehan’s masterclass breaks down the basics and shows you how powerful hypnosis is for the brain and more importantly your mindset. Imagine giving this as a gift to a love one? How cool!
Now let’s talk strategy and why I did this in the first place.
Why did I create a gift guide?
Have you ever got stuck on what to buy someone and instead googled ‘gift ideas’ or ‘gift ideas for him’, and you come across a search result you liked and then proceeded to scroll through the different ideas. Then if one sings out to you, your fingers start to dive deeper into the idea. Then maybe you hit ‘buy now’ ‘purchase’ or ‘gimme’. Well…that’s why.
Oh, and also because the keyphrase (at current) gets on average 14800 searches a month (according to KeySearch). Competition is a little difficult, but sometimes you gotta be one with the herd.
Two reasons I think is well worth considering.
A gift guide that gives back
And as I write this it is the festive season, and I thought why not do something a little different. Give back to some awesome businesses with SEO love, as well as educate YOU around the different ways you can do digital marketing.
The gift ideas I mention are not only awesome, these savvy entrepreneurs are also getting the following for the digital part of their business:
Free advertising
Backlink or backlinks
Referring domain
Brownie points to the authority in their field
Are you starting to see a picture here? It’s a pretty cool one from where I’m sitting.
AND it’s a long term benefit. Not a social media campaign that has a certain timeframe and then dies. This goes on and on, until someone taps out.
Learning, collaborating, and strategic marketing
I could have just written another ‘how to’ blog or gone into depth explaining a piece of SEO/website tid bit. But of course in true manifestor style, I had to buck the trend. AND you can too!
I wanted to:
Help out others and say thanks for being them
Do some strategic marketing for myself (maybe also hitting some keyphrases I wouldn’t normally)
And teach you how to look at blogging (as your secret-not-so-secret weapon)
It doesn’t need to be Christmas focused, it doesn’t need to be a give back, hell it doesn’t even need to be a collaborating piece. It could just be doing some smart long term thinking for your business.
And if you want my help brainstorming ideas or looking at how you can approach your digital marketing differently book an SEO Strategy Session or if you’re more along the lines of ‘OMG just take care of this for me’ then be one of my Complete SEO Management clients.
You’ve got this!
