Newsletter Pain or Pleasure?
Some businesses have an attitude of burdensome obligation about their newsletter. That leads to corner-cutting and a poorly performing newsletter that discredits the business and it’s clients.For other businesses, producing a newsletter is a smooth, rewarding process, yielding a valuable tool that contributes to rising client loyalty, business, and profits.Is a newsletter a waste of time or a goldmine? That largely depends on your attitude. A newsletter’s potential as an investment in a loyal, growing clientele is greater than many imagine. Like other ventures in marketing and customer relationship management, newsletter success begins with positive attitude.Your attitude in the beginning is essential in shaping the newsletter that ends in your clients’ hands.

IN WHAT SUBJECT ARE YOU AN EXPERT?
If you’re a small business owner, presumably you are an expert in your industry or profession — or you would not be in that industry or profession.
Expertise does not mean being the best in the world at something — like Lance Armstrong or Bill Gates. Can you imagine being ranked No. 1 in the World at a particular skill or talent? It sure would be nice — but it doesn’t happen for most of us. And yet many more of us are experts than we may realize.
With more than 6 billion people in the world, good thing it’s utterly unnecessary to be the best in the world at something to qualify as an expert. All expert means is that you know your subject better than most people. American Heritage Dictionary defines an expert as "a person with a high degree of skill in or knowledge of a certain subject." Given those more relaxed standards, chances are pretty good you know a great deal about at least one particular subject, meaning that you are an expert in some area.
So you’ve given it some thought and have acknowledged that you really are very good at something. Canvas pool covers. History of birdhouses in America. Ways to help college freshmen succeed. The subjects are limitless — but you ARE an expert at one of them.
Question: What are you doing with that knowledge and expertise? If "using it to build credibility in my area of specialization" is not your answer, it should be!

Whiners Need Not Apply
Sometime last summer I decided to host a pity party and invite all my friends. Well, not all my friends, exactly. Only those whose livelihoods might have, like mine, been suffering from the downward slide of the economy. To make the guest list, invitees would have to possess the ability to grumble, gripe, groan, fuss, snarl, scream, fret, rant and complain -- preferably all at the same time. I wanted world-class whiners at my party. Optimists need not apply.The idea for the party came about following several back-to-back conversations with different editors, all of whom relayed to me different versions of the same scenario: advertising sales are down, there are fewer magazines pages to fill, so we don't have as many assignments for contract writers like you. Almost overnight, or so it

Dissenion Down On The Cubicle Farm
How content and satisfied are American employees? Not very!According to Corinne Maier, a psychotherapist and author of “Bonjour Laziness,” corporate cubicle inhabitants are anything but tranquil and joyous. These natives are truly restless.This French writer quotes a Gallup study of employed American professionals showing that:1. Some 17% claim to be "actively disengaged" in their jobs, close possibly to acts of sabatoge, some rather subtle.2. And 54% claim to be "not engaged" in their jobs.3. The remaining 29% are "crazy about" their jobs.These are the attitude findings of "professional" employees. How much worse would these findings be if employees of ALL kinds had been interviewed by Gallup?And what leads to such overwhelmin

Loving Your Customers, Getting Your Customers to Love You
It may be awkward to openly acknowledge it, but every sale is a kind of seduction. As marketers, we make introductions, pursue courtships and hope for consummation – the sale.And as in any love affair, we know that reason plays a subordinate role to emotion. Logical arguments are insufficient – to win a portion of our prospects’ bank accounts, we must win their hearts first. Obviously, “love” is too strong a word for what we pursue. But make no mistake – without that basic appeal to the prospect’s inner harbor of feelings, whether it’s in a consumer or business-to-business pitch – you will not make any progress toward the bottom line.Here, then, are a few thoughts on how to use words – which may be applied to everything from direct mail to Web site content -- to make a more comp

What is a Certified Public Accountant or CPA?
In some states, people can work as an accountant even if they have no formal education or experience whatsoever. In order to impose standards of quality and respectability upon the accounting industry, the idea of a CPA was born.A CPA is someone who has earned a board-certified accounting license that guarantees that he or she has at least the entry-level skills required to be a good accountant.If an accountant acts in an incompetent or unethical way, his or her CPA license can be revoked. Furthermore, a CPA is required to receive continuing education in the accounting field, to ensure that he or she stays up to date with the latest updates and changes in information. Each CPA license is granted for only one of the 55 U.S. jurisdictions, which include each state, plus the District of

WHY CREDIBILITY?
Simple. Credibility is the thing that makes people respect you as an expert. It’s the thing that gives you an edge because it causes people to seek you out for your knowledge. Credibility means the quality of being logically or apparently valid. And with credibility comes authenticity, believability, genuineness, legitimacy, visibility, trust, plausibility, reputation, and word of mouth.
Are those qualities helpful in building a successful business? You’d better believe they are!
BENEFITS OF CREATING CREDIBILITY FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR BUSINESS
Perception of Trust — Credibility creates an implied trust that decreases your need to work as hard to prove yourself. People trust you if you have credibility.
Knowledge Showcase — Credibility allows you to share useful and/or entertaining information about your area of specialization that draws added attention to you/your business but is not confused with advertising.
Implied Quality — Credibility carries with it an assumption of due diligence. For example, if Oprah recommends a book, do people bother to read other reviews or do they run out and buy the book? Deserved or not, Oprah’s opinion carries some of the highest credibility in the world.
Increased Exposure — Credibility enables you to reach potential customers who fall beyond the reach of your traditional marketing efforts.
Improved Recall & Recognition — Credibility reduces your audience’s resistance to your marketing message. With traditional advertising, a customer must hear your message as many as 21 t
