For sale - 2 x Pioneer CDJ 2000, DJM 2000, HDJ 2000, Mackie SRM450 V2 + case, wires, stand


This post relates to the following eBay sale:



 Selling my complete Pioneer setup to raise some cash as I don't really mix anymore...




2 x Pioneer CDJ 2000 turntables

Pioneer DJM 2000 mixer

Pioneer HDJ 2000 headphones

Mackie SRM 450 V2 Monitor (with Mackie case, top of range + LOUD)

Custom Swanflight coffin

Speaker stand
Sefour stand for coffin setup

Cables

Boxes

All in EXCELLENT condition. They've only ever left my flat 2 or 3 times, and have always stay in the coffin, so condition is immaculate. I've had all this stuff for about 16 months now and it's time for a change. I'm not going to list all features as you can find that on the internet. I'm a media professional, and I bought these as a treat, when to be honest, I didn't really need them.

Be reassured by my feedback, and viewing is available if needed in the Brighton area. No silly offers please, and cash on collection. No postage.

Total new cost around £5,400+. TOP OF RANGE.

In regards to some questions: I will NOT split the package up, but might consider just the DJM, CDJs and coffin together. Photos also available, but viewing advised as it's all immaculate.

What an age!

It's been simply ages since I last posted on this blog as I've been setting up and running various other new blogs, including New Film Reviews.


I was on Twitter checking out the latest #bbsdigmarket lot and one of them asked me for a link! Fair enough really; it was a smart tactic and an easy win... So here you are James!


James Lowe's Digital Marketing Blog

I'm going into Brighton University on the 8th of March to run a day of SEO workshops covering some of following topics:
  • Onsite SEO
  • Offsite SEO
  • Affiliate marketing & blog monetization
  • Content strategy
There will be a little workshop after too which will involve some keyword research and writing of meta titles, descriptions and some copy for SEO. 

The digital marketing industry relies on new blood, so I'm hoping a few passionate students talk to me about how to get into it all after uni if they really are getting a love for the digital life!

See you all soon!

Some helpful SEO tips for your website

SEO is the basic principle of making your site friendly to search engines. It’s important to also get other websites linking to yours. This shows the search engines that you have power. SEO is important to any business because search brings in a lot of visitors to your site. Lots of online businesses rely on this method of promotion for most of their sales and leads. What should you be doing to make sure your website is friendly to the bots? Here are 5 simple tipsfor SEO success and a well balanced website:



Optimise your copy by making rich use of your keywords. Make sure you mention your terms plenty of times so the engines can see what you are about. Reflect this in your titles and header tags. There should be around 150 words of copy on each page. Add images to these to balance the content. Include internal links to other pages on your website so users do not reach dead ends as these may cause visitors to leave the site as they cannot find what they want.


Use Social Media because everyone else is. Social media allows you to connect with users. It also helps with indexing new webpages and your site for the bots. It is proven that using social platforms to promote your site can help it in the rankings.


Get high powered links so the bots can see your site has power. Links from blogs and website with a high Page Rank will help the most. Think quality rather than quantity with links. Powerful sites will funnel some of their juice to your sites through links. Make sure you optimise the anchor text.


Research your keywords so you are targeting the right phrases. Is there enough search volume for your words? There might be better opportunities or words to target. Make sure the words are not too competitive too or you will struggle.


Get listed in directories such as DMOZ. These are free and easy. Some directories will mention your site for free and some require a small fee which is fairly justifiable if it is a bloog directory. These are easy ways to get links from good domains. Social bookmarks also count as directories in a way.

The future of my website project...


As most of you know I run a website called nowtweet.it, a free URL shortener aimed at Twitter users. The site is pretty friendly at the moment but I’m still trying to further develop it and I thought I’d share with you some of my plans for the site.

Firstly, and maybe most importantly, I want to integrate a tweet feed onto the homepage, displaying the most recent @nowtweetit post, in order to keep the site fresh and provide some new readable content for regular visitors. This is all in accordance with my brand engagement of the site to encourage loyal users.

Secondly, I want more prominent social sharing widgets on the site. A ‘follow nowtweet.it on Twitter’ button, or something along those lines, and a more obvious link to the blog. This is further to develop the social presence of the site, which most competitors have failed to do well.

There are also some small development issues to look at, an update all the site copy and titles/descriptions etc and some meta stuff. This is all to give Google something to mull over during the next few months. 

Finally, in terms of future of the site, I am thinking of bringing in a new optimisation and wbesaite auditing service for small business, but keep your eyes posted on this and it could be potential big news!

Peace out xx

Transitions

After 4 years, I have finished University and start an adult job in a week's time. I am in a transition period now, one with no commitments or pressure. It's been 4 years since I last had this. When I finished college I had all summer to be free without pressure, and I was looking forward to the free time this go around.

Since I've been off, I've been bored a lot and not very proactive with my time. I've still been volunteering at the Brighton Chamber of Commerce to fill the odd day, and I leave for Nice in France tomorrow. I've decided I don't like all this free time and I'm actually very excited to start work at Fresh Egg on the 13th. I've discovered that I like to keep busy and I'm not very good with having excessive free time, especially since most my friends work, so can't just take the time off whenever they feel like it.

Education done. Real world starts next week, I'm just going to try to enjoy my holiday for now though :P
