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.

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.

Crucial Factors in SEO
Ryan Simpson

There's no shortage on advice regarding what people should do to improve a web site's position in search engine listings. It is easy to become confused when you consume all the information that is available because some folks agree with others while some totally disagree and offer dissimilar advice.

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.

Exploring the Search Engine Path Less Traveled
Trey Pennewell

If you always stick to the same path, you will always get the same boring results. There is far more available in the world of search engines, and if you are willing to simply change your habits, you might just find information you would have never seen otherwise.
