Keep Your Search Engine Options Open to Find Better Information
Trey Pennewell

Gone are the days when all research was done in the library and with encyclopedias. Today students can almost avoid the library altogether throughout their education. The Internet is the main reason; online libraries, databases and the World Wide Web have made nearly unlimited information available to its users. Of course, along with any type of good searching and researching practices, users must be cautious with the information they obtain.

What Can A Website Can Do For You?
Jay Smith

The Internet's list of web addresses continues to grow and it provides a great leveling effect between small businesses and large. It's impossible to tell how large a company is from its website, though some national and international brands will, with a bit of thinking, show the difference.

Internet Marketing: The Art of Capitalizing on Content
Scott Lindsay

I'm going to suggest something that you might never have considered before: when you have some spare time write an article for your website. In between other marketing efforts write an article for your website. When you have an idea, write an article for your website. For those who don't write their own articles my suggestion would be to either locate a freelance writer to help you with new content or peruse free article directories to locate new content that matches the needs of your website.

Internet Marketing Blogs that Beg to be Bookmarked
By Merle

Let's face it, blogs on the topic of Internet marketing are a dime a dozen. Everyone and their dog seems to have one. I'll be the first to admit it takes a lot to impress me. Some blogs are just boring and uneventful. But then there are some that make me want to come back again and again. Who has some of the best blogs online today? So glad you asked. Listen closely as I enlighten you and point you in the right direction.

Video Auto-Responders: Online Marketers Dream
Paul Majestyck

Video auto-responders can be a powerful tool. When used, they will automatically send an email response when a website visitor sends an email or submits a contact form from your site. Using video auto-responders allows you to be able to reply to customers with a video response. This can be set up with an animated clip and text or a short video clip of yourself thanking the customer for his or her interest in your products or services.

Paying For Your Traffic Is Smart
Radiance Johnson

I am sure you have heard so many success stories about online fortunes being made day–in,-day-out by savvy Internet marketers and ordinary folks alike. However, it is equally true that so many others hardly make a lot of money online or even, any money at all.

Pitching Yourself to Bloggers
Penny Sansevieri

If you're trying to pitch yourself to bloggers you may have found dead silence at the end of your email exchange. Why? Well, let's face it; the top bloggers in any market probably get a ton of email and most of it is fairly useless. I know this for a fact because I get pitched all the time for reviews, interviews and all sorts of things. Ninety-percent of the emails are useless form letters and 99-percent of the pitches are from people who don't even read my blog.

Repeat After Me: “I Have Only One Business”
Mark Silver

Imagine you're 10-years old and there are huge stacks of cardboard boxes towering over you. It's a fortress and you're allowed to climb all over them. Inside every single one of those boxes is a dozen bottles. Fine wines, liquor, you name it. It may sound like a caterer's dream but I was just hanging out in the warehouse of my grandfather's wine store. My parents worked with him and so I kinda grew up there.

Top 10 Reasons New Businesses Fail
Naz Daud

Before you start a new business familiarize yourself with the top 10 reasons why many new businesses fail.

An Introduction to Value Science
Julie Fuimano, MBA, BSN, RN, CSAC

You have thousands of thoughts that float through your mind all day, every day. How do you sort through them all to determine which thoughts are good ones? How do you detach from your thoughts and learn new ways of thinking? How do you even know which thoughts need changing?

Leadership: Are You Giving Back?
Rick Johnson

We often talk about coaching and mentoring being key ingredients to effective leadership. Two thoughts come to my mind every time I hear the words coach and mentor. My first thought is that it is very rare for any organization to provide actual training on how to coach or mentor employees. It is often up to the individual as a leader to figure that out. My second thought is the realization that most of our actions toward our employees come naturally as a result of the kind of leadership model we have personally created.

Make Your Meetings More Productive
Kent Jacobson

We all dread the meeting invitation, not because of the content but because a majority of meetings we have to attend are so poorly run. You know a good productive meeting vs. the unstructured, why am I here, one. You have the ability to hold a productive meeting and influence a poorly run meeting headed in the right direction by implementing a basic strategy.

Recognizing the Reasons We Procrastinate
Lynn Powers

Let's face it. There are certain aspects of our business that we dislike. For you, it might be making cold calls, bookkeeping or brainstorming creative ideas. But regardless of the tasks we'd like to avoid, they are most likely things that will need to be done at some point.

Beware: Identity-Theft Scam (With a Twist)
Mr. Modem

You've got to hand it to identity thieves for their diabolical ingenuity but it sure would be nice if they would channel their energies into something more productive. Here's the latest scam making the e-rounds but this one has an unusual, and unfortunately effective, twist to it.

The Importance of Disk Data Recovery
Sam Miller

Your hard drive (hard disk) is one of the most important components of your computer. You have to understand, in today's day and age, the secure storage of data is very important in both the home and business setting. Thus, it is very important to ensure that your hard disk is in proper running condition at all times. This should be done to avoid the corruption of the hard disk, thereby losing valuable information during the process.

How to Create Your Own Perpetual Traffic Machine
Titus Hoskins

The Internet is such an unknown commodity anything is possible. One of the most intriguing questions concerns the idea of a perpetual traffic machine. Create a website and design a system of automatic programs (both interior and exterior) that delivers content and backlinks to a site that updates itself automatically and keeps growing without any help from the creator. In the process you build a flow of traffic that never stops, even if the site is abandoned or not touched for a couple of years or never again.

MaryAnn Shank

Network marketing success is sitting there, waiting for those with the vision and determination to go after it. No, this isn't MLM. There's no chasing anyone down dark alleys.

There are 7 steps that every successful network marketer needs to follow.

Beating the Competition
Robert Middleton

I was paging through one of my business magazines last week, when I came across a small ad that made me smile. The headline read: "Everything You've Ever Learned About Marketing Is WRONG!" But it was the subhead that really gave me a chuckle: "Beat Your Competition Into A Demoralized Quivering Pulp." Yes, you read that right. And the offer was for a free 2-CD Program. The picture in the ad was of an angry looking man (named Bill, apparently) wagging his finger at me.

What Failing Marketers Miss In Requesting Joint Ventures
Willie Crawford

As I travel from seminar to seminar and meet people new to Internet marketing, I witness a lot of people quickly discovering the power of setting up joint ventures. Many of these people understand that if they could get large list owners (and people with busy websites) to recommend their products, they could make a lot of sales really fast.

Get Instant Credibility!
Rochelle Melander

What credentials do you need to succeed in your field, a college degree or a PhD? What if you don't have either? Writing a book brings instant credibility. But that takes time. Plus, credibility is also built through regular, intelligent online marketing. You can gain credibility right now by reading voraciously and recommending what you've read to others.

6 Changes You Can Make To Increase Business Profits
Marcia Yudkin

Likewise, your business may have potential revenue drip away, to be lost forever. Use this checklist to make sure you are taking advantage of all the opportunities for earnings that would be arriving safely if you only plugged those holes.

Business School for Non-Business Minds: Inc or LLC?
Melissa Mashtonio

Owning a business is complicated enough without having to deal with all the confusing acronyms and abbreviations that assault you at every turn. Take these two for example: Inc. and LLC. What do they mean to you and your business? Well, if you plan to make money in business, you'll want to protect that money, right? That's where Inc. or LLC comes in: these are your two choices for incorporating a business.

The General Business Advisor: A General Practitioner for Business
Terry H Hill

There are many types of business advisors --- financial, legal, insurance, special projects --- who can offer expertise in solving specific problems that inevitably face every business owner or budding entrepreneur. Employing specialty advisors on an individual basis has value when the business owner has accurately determined what the specific problem is.

New Beginnings: The Gift of Starting Over
Wendy Betterini

Each night before bed we can choose what we want to keep and what we want to release. We can become someone new, purely by the power of our thoughts and intentions. The toughest part is deciding exactly who we want to become, and having the courage to see it through! I am currently doing this in my own life. I'm pulling out the old, dust-caked parts of myself that I deemed unacceptable years ago and giving them another look. And I'm discovering they aren't so bad.

Having Confidence in Yourself
Richard MacKenzie

Confidence becomes a problem not only in public but it shoots up when an individual is supposed to undertake responsibilities in life. Every individual is a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, a husband or a wife, an officer or a subordinate all in one at the same time. All these different faces fill him with various tasks that have to be undertaken with no failure.

Forgiveness: Acceptance and Letting Go
Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Have you ever noticed the difference in people who are able to easily let go of resentment and forgive and those who stay in anger and blame? What I have noticed is that those who continue to stay in blame and resentment are often people who see themselves as victims of other people's choices. I've noticed that people who stay angry at someone are generally people who are very controlling and believe that they can control someone else's behavior through punishment - anger, withdrawal, withholding, blame, righteousness, judgment, and so on.

Understanding Anger
Julie Fuimano, MBA, BSN, RN, CSAC

Somewhere in your thought processes, in your mood, in your attitude toward someone or something, you may be harboring anger. Perhaps it’s anger at one or both of your parents. Perhaps it’s about work or your kids, or choices you made when you were younger. Whatever the anger, so long as you hold onto it, you are imprisoned by it.

Leadership Means Clarity of Vision
Harald Anderson

Leaders have vision; they can see beyond the tip of their nose as the saying goes. Vision refers to the ability to see things far ahead in terms of time, evolution and growth. It also includes the ability to pre-empt the difficulties and obstacles and be prepared to deal with them when they look you in the face.

Video Production Has Changed in the Last 10 Years
David Fishman

In the past it used to be a cumbersome problem when you wanted to shoot with video equipment: the equipment was big and bulky and very expensive. There was no digital editing as it was all done by analog editors, where you would lose the quality after each generation of copying film. Digital revolution paved the way for film editing: it is highly flexible, the technology allows digital editing to create wondrous special effects and there is no loss of quality or the damaging effect of the original footage.

A Look at Web 2.0 Trends You Can Profit From
Gray Rollins

Web 2.0 represents a world of “busy bodies.” Web users strive to communicate, to change applications for the better and improve each other's sites and software. Web 2.0 trends are pushing anything interactive and collaborative ahead of the pack. The applications that require collaboration are the ones attracting the highest number of users.

From small businesses to mega corporations, web conferencing ensures that there’s no need to ever miss out on a meeting again (which automatically increases productivity among employees).

Internet Marketing In an Economic Depression
Scott Lindsay

Crude oil prices go through the roof, the American dollar slips in value, grain prices rise to such a level it makes little sense to pursue biodiesel and the world of online business looks better all the time. In times of financial uncertainty people often travel less but that doesn't always mean that are less inclined to make purchases of items they really want.

Negative versus Positive Marketing Messages: Which Works Best?
Judy Murdoch

Nancy is a small business owner who helps nonprofit groups create fund raising events that can double their average donation. Until recently, Nancy has gotten her business primarily through in-person meetings: attending networking events, taking people out for coffee and giving presentations. In-person is great for getting local business but Nancy wants to serve a national customer base. So she hired someone to design a website and using emails and postcards to market her services.

A Focused Campaign to Create Word Of Mouth Advertising
David Tupica

One of the most frequent errors business people make when launching into their chosen field is making the assumption that word of mouth advertising is something that happens by chance. It is far from that. While providing great competitive prices, customer service and high quality products will offer people something to talk about, it only takes one unhappy customer to negatively affect a many satisfied ones.

See the Opportunity, Not the Difficulty
Johnny Cyreous

There was a time when I was pessimistic about most everything but I didn't know it of course. One day I had a boss who cared about my training and he asked me, "John, I am looking for a problem-solver not a problem-maker. Why is it you always see the difficulties and not the possibilities in your challenges? That shook my world that day because I had no idea I was presenting myself on a regular basis to anyone as a person who saw difficulty in most everything I did.

To-Do List Draining You? How to Brighten Up the Tasks You Dread
Bonnie McFarland

Everyone has at least one of them. Something you hate to do. You procrastinate or do your best to avoid it. When you have to do it you get crabby. What is it for you? Your staff meeting? Working with a particular client or co-worker? Dealing with computer problems? Performance reviews? Whatever it is, it's a "vampire task" -- something that drains your energy.

Why Knowing "Why" Beats Knowing "How"
D. Hurley

For many people planning an Internet business startup, the question of "How" to master the ‘net is often emphasized to the detriment of "Why". It is almost as if the "Why" were less important. Yet, knowing the reason "why" you want something is the essential prerequisite of any project. Why is about goals and motivation; how is about strategy and tactics.

Why Repeat Offers Are the Key to More Sales
Judy Murdoch

I was chatting with Jen, an author who told me how frustrating she found marketing. When I asked for more details, she told me that after publishing her book, she sent emails and postcards to "everyone she knew." The postcard announced that her book had been published, gave some details about the book and told them how to buy her book on the Internet. Jen concluded that marketing didn't work or that she was a terrible marketer. Either way, she was discouraged.

Powerful Persuasion: Metaphors From Around the World
Kenrick Cleveland

I understand that the concept of 'energy' seems a bit new-age to some folks. Personally, I find it to be an integral part of understanding the 'self'. Recently I taught a seminar in Tucson and focused almost exclusively on core drives. I absolutely believe that when we understand core drives we can put our fingers right on our prospect's and client's triggers, triggers which are universal.

What is Stress and What Causes It?
Find a Life Coach

What is stress? Although we tend to think of stress as caused by external issues, issues in themselves are not stressful. It is the way that we interpret and react to them that makes them stressful. People differ enormously in the type of events they interpret as stressful and the way in which they respond to such stress.

Success Habits
Jim Estill

We are a product of what we repeatedly do. We are all going to have habits so I figure we might as well make them good ones. It is easier to substitute a habit than to stop one. The best way to stop a habit is to replace it with a better or healthier habit. It is critical to recognize that we choose our habits, either consciously or unconsciously.

A Career Built On Character
Bill Tyler

It's important to keep in mind that you are responsible for your own career. Don't expect the human resources department to plan your career. In fact, don't expect anyone else to be concerned about it either. There have been times in my career when someone has taken an interest in my promotion; however, it has always been in their own best interests to do so. Remember, companies are in business primarily to make money.

RSS Revisited - Why You Still Need RSS On Your Site
Titus Hoskins

One of the very first articles I ever wrote on Internet marketing had to do with RSS and it was entitled "10 Reasons To Put RSS On Your Site." That was in 2004, and RSS was somewhat new and many webmasters were just beginning to place blogs and RSS feeds on their sites. If you do a search in Google, you can still find that article on around 2,000 sites.

Hate Squeeze Pages? A PDF Popup Is More Polite
Willie Crawford

"The money's in the list." That's what we've all been taught in the Internet marketing niche. To many that translates into "you really, really need to focus on building your list." Unfortunately, for many that means "doing whatever it takes to force, trick or bribe people onto your list."

Have You Been Told Your Business Is High Risk?
Scott Burke

Finding a bank or credit card processing company that will process credit cards for high risk businesses can be challenging. As a business owner you may have been told that your business is high risk or worse yet, you may have had your merchant account shut down or cancelled. It's common practice for banks and credit card processors to close accounts that are deemed "high risk".

Use Empathy to Unleash a Huge Reserve of Potential
Julie Fuimano, MBA, BSN, RN, CSAC and Peter Demarest, CSAC

Consider the thoughts that go through your mind on a daily basis: the fears, doubts, criticisms and judgments. If you knew that other people have the same thoughts about life, their mate, their kids, the organization, about their co-workers and bosses and about themselves as you have, would that make a difference in how you treat them? Behind the façade of behavior and observable personality is a secret world in which people really live. The most successful professionals and leaders skillfully dismantle the wall and enter into that sacred space.

Beyond Your Fear
