Taking advantage of ITunes

 ITunes is #1 in my article Top 10 Ways to Break Through Writer's Block to Blog Another Day.   Itunes is a  great way to break through writers block,  and it's a great way to get lots and lots of free information. There are tons of downloadable free podcasts from just about anyone you can think of, including all the podcasts for The 30 Day Challenge. I was muddling through trying to figure out how to work Itunes, when Ed Dale (of the 30 Day Challenge) did a video on setting up Itunes. … [Read more...]

Building Your Business with Yahoo and Google Groups

I've been discussing ways to use community and relationships to build your business. I truly believe it is the best way to build a long term solid business. I was recently talking to a friend of mine about another mutual friend of ours and how fast her business is growing.  What I had not realized is most of her new business partners and customers are coming from a yahoo group she built. It all started with her wanting to connect with other people  interested in spirituality, as she … [Read more...]

We’re Fed Up and we’re not going to take it anymore!

Rick Schefren posted a great post today over at his Strategic Profits blog. You know he recently published the Attention Age Doctrine ~ part 2. If you haven't read it yet I seriously suggest you do. Anyway, today he posted a great video depicting the new relationship between consumers and advertisers. He also has a petition directed to the "old school" marketers. It's time people stop making outrageous claims, and using in your face tactics to get people's attention when they just don't work. … [Read more...]

Everything you say is OUT THERE!

I was a little low on ideas this morning, so I went surfing around the net checking out what other people are writing about. I found another one of my articles published :) I found another great WAHM blog, and then I stopped by and checked out Blogger Noob's blog. He has been on a rant about The Reverse Funnel System for a bit now. I don't really know anything about it, so I did some searching to check it out. Now don't worry this post really has nothing to do with the Reverse Funnel … [Read more...]

BlogCatalog ~ Get to know the people in your blogorhood

The more I use Web 2.0 resources the more fun I have, the more people I meet, the more traffic I see and the more money I make! It really shouldn't surprise me anymore, but sometimes it does, the more fun I'm having the more success I experience. I was inspired to go get an account at BlogCatalog, and when I got there I realized I had already been there. A long time ago, before I knew anything about internet marketing. It's happened to me a few times lately, and it's kind of funny. What … [Read more...]

How My Story Marketing Can Help You Build Your Internet Marketing Business

I know I've talked to you before about the ways you can use myspace to market your business. I went to a conference call last night and heard some things that provided some pretty specific "how to" steps and thought I would share. I wish I had kept a copy of my old page, and then I could have shown you a before and after and that would have been cool, but alas, I did not ~ because I don't know how. If you know how let me know, I have another page to do. :) Anyway, here's a couple of … [Read more...]

Do people know your name? They will when you start branding it.

Yesterday we talked about joining and playing in social networking communities (forums). I was thinking about all the benefits of playing in forums and I realized that "branding" is one of the major benefits you can receive from regularly playing in community. What is branding? The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines a brand as a "name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to … [Read more...]

How to Use Forum Advertising ~ The Right Way

I have been looking through all of the articles, ebooks and reports provided in the Greedy Giveaway (only a few more days to get them if you haven't already). I came across one particular report that made me take notice. It stated I could make 2000$ in 10 days just following this simple process. It wouldn't cost me anything, I just had to do these few things and I would be "raking in the cash". I must admit, I was sucked in. In my heart I know there is no such thing as a fast buck, that it … [Read more...]
