You're already importing — why not get the benefits? Everyone knows there are great deals to be found overseas — items that can be picked up for a fraction of the cost. But what you may not have considered is that almost everything you're buying domestically has already been imported. You're just paying a mark-up cost to whoever did the actual importing for you. For retail newcomers, there's nothing wrong with that. But for the established businessperson, importing directly can save a lot of money.

The greatest entrepreneurs in the world are also the greatest marketers. Just think of Donald Trump and Richard Branson. No one can accuse them of hiding their light under a bushel. One can imagine how they enter any business meeting, completely at ease and in control of the situation. They have branded themselves and their businesses so strongly that they are unassailable in the marketplace.

Postcards have proven themselves to be highly effective for marketing in the 21st century. But marketers often sabotage their own success with postcards by making some common mistakes in using them. Here are 5 postcard marketing mistakes many marketers make and some easy ways to avoid them.

Not all landing pages are created equal. How well they convert rests solely on how well you engineer them. Let’s discuss thought, design, engineering and how they make a difference. Smarter landing pages are 'human friendly.' They're based on what is known about people and what people like and don't like. And that knowledge isn't arbitrary. It's based on research, marketing testing and facts.
Paul Marshall
With all the changes in Google AdWords and the increased competition, organic SEO looks more and more attractive to most of us.

Remember, affordable Search Engine Optimization is about increasing quality traffic, then converting that traffic to a sale or a sales lead.

Everyday it seems people are asking me the optimum numbers of inbound links they need to acquire for their website in order to rank well in Google. My answer is going to seem flip but it is the honest, best answer. Answer: You need more inbound links - of equal or higher quality - than what your competitors have.

The Law of Verbal Packaging states that the more skillful a person is in the use of language, the more persuasive they will be. People are persuaded by us based on the words we use. Words affect our perceptions, our attitudes, our beliefs and our emotions. The words we use in the persuasion process make all the difference in the world.

Compared to some, my 'online internet marketing success' is small. I'm just a remote speck of sand in the giant sandpit of life. But, there are some things I've learned that may help you. One thing I've noticed about Internet marketing is that sometimes we forget just how far forward we've progressed. You actually may not be aware of how successful you have become!

It comes without warning. At first the business owner notices their productivity level decreasing. Then they notice they have a hard time solving problems. Next, they feel tired and start experiencing pain in their neck, shoulders and back. There is no reason to panic. This is called The Crash and is quite common among work-at-home business owners.

What one person thinks is positive, another person may think is negative but people are often mistaken. There must be a way of determining what is really positive and what is really negative in life. What is that method that determines a positive thought from a negative thought? One psychiatrist, Dr. David R. Hawkins, has proposed the idea that some thoughts are detrimental to our general health as human beings and others tend to promote health and life in all living beings.

I was working at a sales training seminar and we were on the topic of handling customer objections. A participant who owns a massage therapy practice was asking how to best address a prospective client who didn't want to follow his recommended course of treatment. We then asked other audience members to share their experience. A couple people spoke up and their advice, however well-intended, felt off to me.

For any aspect of self-improvement, there has to be a reason for you to start and keep going. That is your motivation – the reason for doing what you do. In order to attempt any sort of improvement in your life, you need to be motivated in some way to get started.
Christos Varsamis
You may be a skillful, effective employer but if you don't trust your personnel (and personnel trusting you) then the chances of improving and expanding your business are extremely limited. It's not critical for the employees to like the boss but they need to have trust. If not, the leader won't be able to lead and workers will have little motivation at work.
