Hub You - Top 10 Marketing Pitfalls
Design your web site to achieve your goal - either it’s a brochure or an attempt to be on page one of the search engines -it can’t be both. Know your objective before you start designing your web site - and before you hire somebody do design one for you.Most web designers are good at making your web site look good and function well. They can offer lots of tips on what you should say and how you should say it. These folks will create a web site that will serve as an excellent brochure. You will be able to direct people to your web site to learn more about you - maybe even conclude a transaction with you. But don’t mistake this for web site generated business. Whatever you did or said to ge
The exciting thing about property development is that any one with reasonable financial backing can get into it. In this article we shall discuss the attractions of property development.One of the principle reasons behind the growing popularity of property development is the anticipated return on investment. Unlike the stock market which is unpredictable and therefore somewhat scary, property prices in the UK have risen steadily since 1945, not withstanding a few cyclical downturns.Therefore many people rightly believe that so long as you buy carefully, conduct thorough research, renovate in the interests of your target market and budget carefully; there is a lot of money to be mad
If you want to make it BIG in Internet Marketing you need avoid some common mistakes. Here's a list of the top ten Pitfalls that catch out beginner Marketers (and many established ones too!).
The problem is you don't realise you have fallen into one of these holes until someone points it out. Marketers tend to be stubborn and suffer from tunnel vision - hopefully these may help you kick a few bad habits...
1. Procrastination
Putting things off is a killer where this career this is concerned. You NEED a plan and some kind of time management system in place. Prioritize your tasks and keep lists of everything that needs doing. And no matter how much you don't feel like doing something just get it out of the way and NEVER leave it untill the next day!
TIP: Use post-it notes. They are low-tech but work great :-)
2. Striving for Perfection
You'll likely never have a "perfect" website or product but you know what? It doesn't matter! It's important you get started as soon as you can and make your site "live". You can tweak things as you go along and improvements WILL come later - but if you try to get everything "right" before you start t
“Innumerable Web sites and charts and graphs used in business are just mush to me,” said Jim Doane. Font colors and background colors make the reading impossible for Doane. He is one of the two in one hundred males (and rare females) who is severely affected by color vision deficiency (CVD) or colorblindness. He, like most people so affected, does see blue and yellow, so he is not “blind” to color.Web developer Ed Nolan keeps people like Doane in mind. He has an unusual occupation, especially for someone with CVD. Nolan is one of the 1:12 males affected (1:200 females are affected) by CVD. Although not as severely affected as Doane, for instance, Nolan can tell red from green; however, h

It is not enough to dress up and arrive on time for the interview. Here are the top 7 big questions to ask yourself when trying to land your next position.1. Are you a problem-solver? 90% of interviewees cannot answer “problem” questions. You should be able to tell the interviewer why they should hire you and what the company will miss out on if they do not hire you.2. Are you getting your resume out there - in a big way? 80% do not generate enough job-seeking activity through networking to land interviews for the right jobs.3. Can you describe your skill set and how you are the best candidate for the job? 80% cannot identify and/or describe desirable skills. A typica

Entrepreneurs know their business. They know their product, their service. Many of them write creative Web sites. But, one thing they are not as adept at is promotional copy.It's not the book, it's the hook! It's not the beautiful Web site, it's the one with benefit-driven headlines that lead your visitor straight to your sales message. What you say outside the book covers matters. What you say about your service on your site must be so much more powerful than your pleasing personality or mission statement.Always promote with benefits over features. Benefits show the value of your products. They solve your particular audience's problem! They tell your clients and customers what th

What a difference a year makes, especially in the real estate brokerage business. Everything was hot a year ago, but today we're back to a normal, read longer market times, market in most areas of the country. I spend time every week teaching new agents the day-to-day parts of the business and coach many other new and experienced agents. I have them fill out a survey about common take aways from the business. Here are some of the results, based on full-time agents with at least three closed transactions.-Internet. The main source for buyers and sellers. Followed by:Sphere of influence, open houses, networking, floor duty.-8 hours per day. The average number of hours per day, new ag
TIP: Update your site daily in little ways, it saves doing everything at once and the search-engines it too.
3. Wasting Money
This one is important. Especially if you don't have money to burn! Don't get caught up jumping from opportunity to opportunity or buying everything that lands in your inbox. You'll be surprised how much you can get for free. Trust me - you don't need half the stuff you see online. Try to control your emotions and think before you buy. Write a list of pros and cons, and make sure that the product or service is essential to YOU.
TIP: Look for reviews by people without a vested interest in the product and ask questions in forums.
4. Not Spending Enough
Unfortunately you have to spend a little. It won't be much starting out, but you will need more as you grow. For a start you'll need a domain, a host, an autoresponder - but these are pretty affordable these days. The bulk of your expenses w
