Hey everybody, it’s One-Click Lindsey with the Traffic and Leads Podcast.  Today we have an awesome guest, Nicholas Scalice, whom I met on Triberr, the platform I’ve been telling you all to get on.  Nicholas and I share a similar professional focus, so I’m very interested in hearing his point of view on some important marketing subjects.

Nicholas is an inbound marketing consultant out of Florida where he has been engaged in this work for over six years.  He holds a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Florida Atlantic University combined with a ton of marketing certifications including Google AdWord, HubSpot Inbound, HootSuite Professional and Google Analytics Individual Qualification.  Suffice to say, this guy knows what is up.

After starting out with social media marketing, he soon after gravitated to inbound marketing, which he considers to be a more holistic approach.

Listen in today to hear the tricks of the trade that a qualified expert like Nicholas recommends.  He walks us through the steps for generating traffic and leads as fast as possible, from content creation, inbound marketing tools and much more.  There is something in this episode for everyone, whether you are just starting out, or are looking to ramp up your already thriving business.  Enjoy!
