Offline Marketing For Your Online Business
There is more to building your online business than simply marketing it on the internet. A good offline marketing plan can be just as effective as, sometimes even more so, an online marketing plan. Offline marketing is more targeted, unlike online marketing where, as a business owner, you are competing with many other businesses within your niche.

Guerrilla Marketing And Karate
The karate master learns everything necessary to slam his hand through the wooden boards. He doesn’t even think about the boards, only about seeing his hand on the other side of them. Their being shattered is not part of his vision. The board is merely an illusion. His hand beneath the cracked boards is the only reality the karate master will accept. Theory is what helped him earn his black belt, but he never would have earned it if he had not taken action.
Advertising Your Vacancies: Looking Beyond Want Ads
Anyone who has ever tried to hire a new employee has their fair share of horror stories. They advertised on a bulletin board at the local community centre and no one applied. They spent $1,200 for an ad in the newspaper and got hundreds of applications, but no one was really qualified. They hired the daughter of someone who was a recommendation from someone else, who was the brother of their hairdresser – the person didn’t work out.
The Importance of Community Relations
There are some powerful relationship realities between various community groups and organizations. Corporations and institutions must prove their validity, honesty, and trustworthiness every day. Community relationships are effectively maintained primarily through engagement with various publics and audiences within the community and your organization.

Board Basics for Non-Profits
For most non-profit boards, governance remains simply a series of routines such as overseeing budgets, receiving audits, hearing reports, approving strategic plans, and so on. This is the traditional thinking that guides most non-profit boards. If boards are to be successful this approach must change. The board is where corporate policy is made, where project priorities and goals are set, where capital (yes, nonprofits have capital) is allocated and where the values of the organization and the community it serves are exemplified.

Employee Policies About Blogging & Electronic Communication
Blogs and blogging are a fascinating social phenomenon and employee policies and procedures generally have not kept up. Blogs are similar to on-line bulletin boards. People use blogs as a way of self expression, saying what they think or feel about a topic or an issue, or in response to someone else’s thoughts. Many people have their own personal blog to journal their day or their lives. It is also an interesting phenomenon that people feel more “open” when communicating via email, text or a blog. By this I mean many people use the process of writing as a form of “dear diary” or therapy. They put their deepest thoughts and feelings down without pausing to think or reflect on the impact their words may have on others. They respond instantly, without many of the usual social niceties coming into play.

Community Involvement the Wrong Way
There are wrong ways to demonstrate community involvement as well. If you volunteer to work on a committee but are never available for meetings, or if you sponsor a little league team and don't show up for games, you're proving yourself to be crass and superficial, probably sucking up the community to get business instead of working for it for altruistic reasons. Consumers are more sophisticated than ever these days. People know the difference between serving the community and serving yourself. If you're not willing to devote honest time and energy to your community, you're better off skipping this weapon and leaving it to the real guerrillas in your community. I just hope for your sake that none are your direct competitors.
Top Five Responsibilities of Nonprofit Board Members
I have seen effective and ineffective boards of directors. Good boards of directors are clear about their roles and responsibilities versus those of the Executive Director, and they don't overstep their boundaries. This article highlights what I consider are the five most important responsibilities of board members.
Social web vs. searchable web
Web forums have become one of the most effective outlets for communication and relationship building on the Internet. These online discussion boards have been likened to equivalent of a modern bulletin board, but are for the sole purpose of expressing opinions, advice and learning from others. Today we access online discussion forums for technical support, community and product reviews, advice on anything from career choices to fashion to schooling to illness, and general discussion about things we are interested in. People can join forum groups with others that are due to have a baby in the same month as them, or with others of the same occupation, or dog breeders that breed the same dogs as you! Where once we sought out community groups in our area, we now turn more to the online world from the comfort of our desks or couches.
Building a better board
CEOs are advised to build better boards, but doing so is hard. Most plough the leader's lonely furrow and board building does not make the priority list. Other CEOs recognise the value and build better boards, which provide solid advice, facilitate business introductions and help raise funding.
How do you feel about getting tax breaks?
Stephen Harper may not be able to break wooden boards as well as some of us in the martial arts community, but his breaks when it comes to taxes are something we can hold a mutual respect with him for. This blog is about what the fitness tax credit planned for 2015 means to our organization.
