Week 14 reading reflection

What I found surprising was the chicken-and-egg relationship between individual behavior and organizational strategy. In that idea, you wonder what comes first, and how the order of that affects strategic change.

What confused me was the presence of the Innovation, or I-team. I’ve never heard of one, or even seen one in a company. I mean, wouldn’t the entrepreneur have to be creative and innovative?

If I could ask the author some questions, I would ask: “What are some numbers of how many companies have I-Teams?” And, “What qualifications do I-Teams need to have? What do companies look for?”

I don’t really think there was anything I disagreed with the author on. What I really liked was how in Chapter 3, page 84, the author talks about how preparing for failure, and bouncing back from a failure, can help build a resilient and strong entrepreneur.

Using strong words and phrases are an important part of creating SEO posts. My strategy was to write a lot, and use common phrases. I think it’s also important to pose questions to yourself. Something I didn’t do, but I think would’ve helped, is adding tags. Adding multiple tags will definitely drive traffic to blogs; people do it on Youtube all the time.

Keywords were definitely: entrepreneur, innovation, product and UF. UF is a major key word, because that is the aim of demographic for my product. I didn’t really change or refine any keywords of mine.

I used social media to enhance my efforts by posting on Twitter and Facebook. I did those in the beginning, but I haven’t recently. Honestly, I don’t think it really helped, when I did post on Facebook.

The post that received the most page views, which was 28, was my second elevator pitch. It also received 5 comments. I think it got the most traffic because I included a picture that I took of Mexico’s national soccer team. One commenter mentioned it, and I think it can draw attention because there’s something to look at.

Even without checking, I didn’t think I made it to the front page. I think it proves that I need more training in SEO writing, as well as understanding my audience.
