A Gazillion Tweets, but What Makes the Cash Register Ring?
Tweeting gets consumers all fired up. YouTubing is what a pries the credit cards out of the billfold/purse. Facebooking is where it is at to bring seller/buyer together. Blogs have the real street cred where serious people go to find out the scoop. Robust web sites are an absolute have to if you're going to be serious about separating a consumer from his/her dollars. If you think consumers are confused you should be on the other side of the desk! Marketing people are having a helluva time efficiently and effectively reaching the buying public -- corporate and individual -- to sell hardware, software, solutions. It's horrible in the store because everyone is hollering price. Sales people seldom know enough about the individual product to be of real help. Your mom doesn

Free Stuff -- Someone Pays Even for the Free Lunch
There is a whole group of people who grew up on the Internet that believes everything that is out there should be free. Stewart Brand set the stage back in 1984 at the first Hacker's Conference when he said -- Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. ... That tension will not go away. The person who stole the pre-release of Wolverine thought it was neat that he (or she) could give it away free. Millions viewed it -- free. Millions more refused knowing that if they really wanted to see it they should pay someone for it. At the end of the day an organization has to put money in the cash register so bills will be paid and people will have food/shelter. There is no such thing as a free lunch

Is Bad Customer Service Killing Your Business
It’s time to beat the old bad customer service drum again.

Doing what you love priceless even at minimum wage
It has been said that if you find something to do that you love, you will never have to work a day as long as you live, and I believe that with all my heart. Why, do I believe that is true, because I have been lucky enough to find that twice in my life--once offline and now online--and to watch as my oldest son found it too. Someone said that I seemed a bit prejudiced in favor on online business, but let me you that is simply not the case at all. My favorite business of all was actually my brick and mortar used bookstore. It probably never paid me much more than minimum wage considering the hours I put in, and sometimes not even that much, but it was the absolute perfect business for me...at least until the Internet came along.
