Branding Stepping
By Markie Bee
In
part two of the discussion of Branding Stepping, I am continuing the
explanation of the importance of a steppers website, and it's role in
branding. This article deals with the cursory information which I have
compiled through experience and the various Search Engine Optimization
(SEO) courses I have taken through the years. It is by no means a source
for all things related to branding, or web sites. I feel each web site
has it's individual strengths and weaknesses and there is no single
answer for all. Like most of my columns, it's based on my take on
things. My goal in this column is to help steppers expand their range of
influence in the larger arena. Knowledge is power.
Optimizing your web site for the search engines is important in one
respect. It's how people on the web find your site. It
doesn't matter how usable, or how pretty your site is if new visitors
can't find it. The actual content on your website is extremely important
(Great marketers find lots of ways to spread their message beyond using
just the web). If your website is less than two years old it's a
matter of education and information sharing which should be the priority
to establish your site as an "authority" site (presenting content that's
good for your visitors, not marketing fluff that pounds your...

Branding Stepping
By Markie Bee
I've
talked about product branding at length in this column before. But I
wonder how good the branding really is outside the Steppers community.
It looks like many people have taken much of what I've had to say to
heart inside the steppers community. There appears to be a
heightened awareness on the part of steppers as to who does what and
when. Hopefully SteppersUSA has had a hand in that effect. Certain
promoters and artist representatives from outside the steppers community
see this growing audience and are actively marketing to us. Let's take
You Tube and Google advertising for example. The reason I chose these
particular web advertising giants is multi-fold... I've used them in
examples before, and the results are easy to illustrate. If you are the
average visitor (who isn't part of the steppers community) to Google and
you do a search for things to do in (insert your city), and see if
stepping comes up in the first five pages of results. Try it! Just go...

but my "weekend" never really materializes. at least if I want to eat.
One project blends into the next. I just finished rebuilding Doc's

www.stepperschoice.com over the last couple of days. There's still
things to add, but you learn as a webmaster, to get it built, then wait
for the owner to send the stuff they need. In the meanwhile I have to
keep moving. So I pop a little more stuff on
www.clubdelegance.com,

The 32 Count
By Markie Bee
The
deeper I get into the history of steppin, the more I realize how little
the people around me really know about the dance. A few days ago I got
an email from fellow webmaster, Dan Land stating exactly what I've been
saying in steppers class for years about "the count". Those who
converse with me in class will find this extremely familiar, even though
they are not my words;
"If we recall the true history of steppin and boppin, we find that most
so called old skoolers were taught the basics of this dance through
rhythm, a aunt, uncle, mother, father, sister, brother, friend, etc.
passed the rhythm down through generations, not the count. If I change
the 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8 to Markie Bee Markie, Markie Bee Markie, Markie
Bee or da da da, da da da , da da, or cha cha cha, cha cha cha, cha cha.
I will come up with the same count as the 8 count. The same be true of
any count Markie. Try it
