Discover How “New Marketing” is Required to Survive and Thrive in Today’s Economy
Have you found yourself thinking "Whay is this marketing I'm doing not working like it used to?" What more and more people are realizing is that what used to work in the Old Marketing Age no longer is effective.

Get Tuned In by Leaving the Office
I just started reading an advance copy of "Tuned In", a new book by David Meerman Scott, Craig Stull and Phil Myers that is due to hit stores in July. Tuned In offers up an in-depth six step process that helps businesses understand and connect with markets in order to provide products and services that customers really want. The first step in the process flushes out a point that I feel is very important to small business owners and managers: "The critical first step to becoming tuned in is to understand, in great detail, what existing market problems your organization could solve. The only way to accomplish this is to get out of your office."

Just like a tip of the iceberg, it’s not what you see or you engage within the scope of your market, it is what you overlook and do not that results in missed opportunities.
How to Get from 20 Million to 100 Million in Online Sales: Lessons from Agora Publishing
I was thinking a lot about the success of our competitors such as Centerpointe and especially, Agora Publishing. Michael Masterson is the founder of Agora. Earlytorise is one of Agora's mini empires, because Agora Publishing itself is a $100M company based mainly on internet marketing. Although they have physical products, the bulk of what they do lies in internet marketing or using internet marketing channels. I found it interesting because most Internet marketers don't get that big. Most internet marketers celebrate when they earn $1M a year. What Agora makes is almost akin to the direct marketing giants, the offline marketing giants like Boardroom and Weiss International. We need to start doing what successful businesses are doing, so I thought to myself, what is Agora doing that we aren't?
