Viral Marketing - 15 Bulletproof Tactics to Attract Thousands of Customers Using Viral Marketing
Mention the word "virus" on the Internet and you'll most likely get people in a frenzy to update their antivirus software. But viral marketing is not dangerous to your computer or anyone else's for that matter. Quite the contrary, it is the kind of frenzy you should seek to create: about your products or services. Viral marketing is a form of marketing where news about your products, services, or company are spread by word-of-mouth, very much like a virus. Believe me, this is one bug you'd like everyone to catch. As word of what you're doing spreads like the flu, new customers naturally flock to your website to see what the hype is all about, thus boosting your chances of increasing profits.

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.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners need to take ownership of worklife balance discussion
The mantra of the late 90’s and the first decade of the 21st century is “Be proactive.” And corporations are doing a fine job of being proactive in claiming ownership of the “work-life” discussion. They’re doing this because when they launch the discussion first, they get to define the parameters—they get to make the rules. Entrepreneurs and small business owners should not try to emulate what large corporations do. Instead, you should look towards owning your own work-life discussion.

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.

It's Time to Re-Evaluate
Allow me to begin with a discussion of how and why to evaluate things, and then move on to a discussion about either changing occupations or re-inventing yourself and your business. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you like it!
The Magic of Social Media and Why Your Organization Can’t Ignore it
The Internet has evolved from a curiosity, to a two-way communication platform dominated by academia, and then to a commerce platform that has threatened to make conventional shopping and “business as usual” obsolete. But with that transformation came an example of the law of unintended consequences: consumers became jaded. Barraged by email, banner ads, pop-ups, pop-unders and multi-media online infomercials, the consumer felt more like a commodity than ever. And they started fighting back. Internet users banded together on primitive discussion boards where they found a voice. They were able to communicate with each other, make recommendations, air complaints, and generally provide instant feedback on the quality of goods and service being provided across the ‘Net as well as by traditional land-based (brick and mortar) vendors.

Top Five Responsibilities of Nonprofit 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.
