Subscriber Incentives: Are They Effective?
Peter Boulder of Pepper and Rodgers Group tells a story of a friend of his who recently visited New York City. His friend spotted an ad that read something like: "Buy at our grocery store and if the cashier doesn't smile at you when you check out, everything in your cart is free." Impressed, he made a straight line for the store in question and filled up his shopping cart with everything he'd need for a week. To his chagrin, the lady at checkout not only didn't smile, but didn't even look at him. But there was some consolation in the situation, he thought, and he triumphantly claimed his bounty of free groceries. The cashier, however, denied any knowledge of such a special offer. Puzzled, the visiting gentleman

From Astronauts to Entrepreneurs
What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a question that everyone has been asked at some point in their life. If you were asked as a child, you most likely responded with, “a fireman, astronaut, or cowboy.” After a few years, you realized there were not many companies looking to fill their cowboy position. You figured out that you had to be good at math to be an astronaut, and you were no longer crazy about the whole “fire thing.”Then, along the way, you probably settled for a cubicle and a job that you did not even know existed when you were a kid. You might be a “yes-man.” You might play solitaire when no one is looking. You probably even punch a time clock when you walk in the door. Astronauts don’t have a time clock or a cubicle.The point

How To Use A Four Letter Word To Advertise Your Business
Don’t panic, the four letter word I was referring to was FREE. If you are like me and you have a website you already know that you cannot make any money without traffic. Traffic refers to the amount of visitors that view your website. The most popular forms of advertising on the internet can cost you anything from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars per month. I do not know about you but when I was starting out I most definitely did not have that kind of money to shell out. So I went on a mission to save my credit cards from burnout.On my travels I have found many free or inexpensive advertising mediums and if I may I would like to share them with you.Forums.No internet marketing campaign is complete without the use of forums.

Writing Web Pages: Get To 'The Meat' Faster
Much of my consulting work comprises writing ‘Outside Opinion’ reports on the sites of large companies and organizations. Sometimes I review just a few pages, sometimes fifty or more. I’m just finishing one up now and have recognized a thread that is common to many of reports. Here is what I have noticed: On many sites we are too slow to ‘get to the meat’. Too much rambling and introduction on each page. One of the things I do in each report is create some ‘copywriter layouts’ of key site pages. I do my critique, and then provide some sample page designs to give the client an idea of how I see each page; the key messages, the key actions etc. But here’s the thing: I create just the first screen, not the whole page.

You can get help, it even has a name Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and there are plenty of consultants and companies offering SEO services, the only problem is sorting the wheat from the chaff. Luckily for you, you are just about to read The Six Golden Rules for Choosing an SEO consultant.
