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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
