Google Gold- Rachel Mead

1) Through out this course, we have been trying to get our blogs out there and show up on the first google search page when entering certain keywords. In order to increase my chances of showing up on the first google page, I have added my first and last name to the end of every post title.

2) My keywords are "Rachel Mead", "entrepreneurship", and "ENT". The most consistent key words were "Rachel Mead" and the others were used for various posts. My keywords have stayed the same the entire semester, each were just used different amounts of times.

3) The only social media I used to enhance SEO was Youtube. I think that using this one platform kept things constant and helped me overall. I believe it was fairly receptive, as at least one video shows up on the first page.

4) My most viral post was the "Top 5 World Problems- Rachel Mead" post. I think the reason was that this was such a controversial and opinionated post. Not everyone agreed with each other's posts because we all have things that are more important to us than other things. I had a lot of defensive comments on this particular post and people didn't agree with what I thought were the five biggest issues.

5) When you type in "Rachel Mead ENT" or "Rachel Mead entrepreneurship" I come up on the first page. When typing in "Rachel Mead" alone, there are other Rachel Meads out there that showed up. I also saw a lot about "Richelle Mead" who is apparently the author of a famous book series. Overall, I'm pretty content with how my keywords worked out in order to optimize my SEO.

Very Short Interview, Part 2- Rachel Mead

Looking back at my original questions for Linda Benjamin, I asked pretty general questions that I could have asked any entrepreneur. However, miss Linda still gave very detailed and thought out responses. This time, I would like to ask more specific questions pertaining to her particular business. The questions I asked Linda are as follows:
1. If you were to change the location of your business (or add a new location) and place it anywhere in the world, where it would be and why?
2. If you chose to start another business, would it be similar or completely different than Paradise Pops and why? 
3. What businesses have inspired you and what qualities did they have that you've tried incorporating into Paradise Pops?

Here are miss Linda's responses:
1. We would add more location to beach communities that have a massive concentration of tourists. In particular, cruise ship passengers and hotel guests.
2. It would be similar as the food business is my passion. I enjoy sharing good food with people and pops make everyone smile.
3. My friend Amy owns a bakery and she inspired me. Her attention to style and detail are impeccable. She has a created a loyal following and her products are unique and delicious. I also admire Richard Branson. He is the billionaire who started the Virgin Companies. His sound approach to entrepreneurship and business are inspiring. His love for life has allowed him to touch many lives around the world. I hope this is helpful.

I was much more comfortable speaking to Linda Benjamin because I had gotten a response from her before so it made me less nervous waiting to hear back from this time. In the beginning, I wasn't exactly sure what types of questions to ask and I think my questions for the second interview were more thought out. I truly did not feel that she conveyed any sense that I had advanced in my entrepreneurship skills but I appreciate the time she took to answer the questions I had for her with sincere thought and detail.
