|
Lesson #2: There Is Nothing Wrong With Being Cheap
| |
| He knows it and he’s proud of it: Robert Johnson is cheap. He did not get to where he is today by being careless with his money or by taking expensive chances. He got to the top by spending less than his competitors, by being frugal with his money, and by focusing on the bottom line. |

Lesson #3: Go After Customers both New and Old
| |
| “If there’s something I can do and I feel it should be done, I just want to do it,” says Johnson. “I just don’t want to leave it undone because I’ll sit back and say, why didn’t I do that? Why didn’t I start that business?” |

Times Are Good
| |
| You’re probably wondering what I’m talking about when you see that headline. But I’m talking about what’s happening today, now, in the U.S. I say that times are good because there are still plenty of opportunities out there. In fact I’m a little tired of the negative cloud we seem to be under these days. |

Speak Up! Get out there and find an audience for what you do.
| |
| One of the best business building tactics is to demonstrate your knowledge to a receptive audience. It pays to be able to speak well in public and of course it helps if you have a little charm as well. |

Waiting for a Pullback!
| |
| The past week in gold, silver, oil, natural gas and the broad market wasn’t anything to write home about. We are seeing controlled profit taking which is making the market choppy. Many traders are getting very bearish on the market which is a good thing in my opinion. According to my market internals, sentiment and volume analysis we should get a shake out (sharp dip) which would make traders exit their positions before the market continues higher. |

The Benefits of Heresy, or "What I learned from my summer reading"
| |
| There is more to life than mindlessly following the herd. But that is what we've been conditioned to do. There is incredible power in stepping outside the fold and becoming a heretic. Experience it for yourself. |

Less is More
| |
| The web and digital marketing has given us the chance to deliver more content than ever before. Content that our audience can use to get to know us, our products and our value. That's great news. At least it should be. The problem? We overwhelm our audience, giving them too many options, too many different aspects and angles - and we lose them. We just plain drown them in too much information. |

|
'So What?' Marketing
| |
| The simple fact is that marketing is not about you and your technology or business. It's about your customers and how your company or solution can help them be successful in their business.
Asking the 'So What?" question from your customers' perspectives - then using those advantages as the platform for your marketing messages can make the difference between grabbing audience attention and keeping it, or losing them before you ever get a chance to communicate. |

PR for Small Businesses
| |
| Through public relations, small businesses can compete with the big boys. It’s possible to do an interview in the morning and have a story saturate the nation by lunchtime. Effective media placement and public relations can legitimize, validate, sell products, bring in clients, forge new alliances, bring you in contact with benefactors you never knew existed, and take you into the offices, boardrooms and even bedrooms of the most powerful people in the world. |

Why PR Is The Most Effective Branding & Marketing Tool
| |
| Let’s say you read an ad for an attorney in your local newspaper. The ad tells you how wonderful the attorney is, what she specializes in, what services she offers, and how to contact her. Now let’s say you read an article about that same attorney. |

What Is A USP And Why Do I Need One To Sell My Product
| |
| Did you know you have a USP? If you don't already know what that is, then you either need to learn what your is...or shut down shop immediately. Everyone's product should have a strongly highlighted USP...if you do not then someone else is probably hijacking most of your buying customers. What is a USP? It is the one thing that makes you stand out from the crowd and makes people want to buy specifically from you. |

To Make Money OnlineStart By Giving Away The Farm
| |
| A lady asked me the other day how to make money online. She worked for a fairly stable company, but she was truly concerned about everything from the high prices of gas, to potentially devastating election results, to all of the frightening financial failures making headlines this week. She said to me, "I'm all alone in the world. I don't know what I would do if I lost my job." I knew exactly how she felt because I have "been there...done that" and so I spent about two hours telling her how to make money online. ...And it all starts and ends with the word "Free." |

Web Hosting Support
| |
| I’ve had to change web hosting companies on more than one occasion simply due to the fact that I wasn’t getting the kind of web hosting support that I needed. Once, I had a simple technical problem that needed little more than a yes or a no answer from the customer service representatives, but my attempts to even reach the company went in vain. First, I called, but the 1-800 number I was given – the one that was supposed to be 24/7 support – did not work. Then, I emailed, but those too were fruitless. In the end, switching companies cost me more than it should have. This article is to help you avoid going down the same path I did. |
