Still Stuck with Stone Age Dialup?
Recently I’ve been having to deal with a client who lives in a remote area and is using a dialup internet access account.
His heart is in the game. He is working hard to promote his program and is making the right moves to stay connected socially. He has Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc… but what he does not have is a good solid Internet connection.
Grrr. So I’m chipping away at him to get with one of those internet satellite providers that are always advertising on TV. Don’t get me wrong this client has money. He is not afraid to invest in his business and Internet marketing program, but he is hesitant to get a broadband account.
These day – I keep telling him — you just have to have broadband to do anything worthwhile. How are you going to manage a viral video campaign if you can’t stay connected long enough to watch a Youtube video (much less upload one). This is just one example of why he needs to just take the plunge.
I hooked him up with a link to myWildBlue so he can get started. It’s about $100 to get set up and starts at $50 per month. This is nothing for a marketer — particularly when it give you the freedom to run a mailing list, chatrooms, and other broadband features. Plus it frees up your phone line.
Since most of the folks who read me already have broadband, guess I’m preaching to the choir eh? LOL
