of your website.



Here are 7 critical areas that need to be checked yearly on your site:

29 Essential Sites to Help You Invest in Yourself and Your Online Business

I'll admit it -- I'm an information junkie. I love to learn new things, so it's a good thing that I'm in small business marketing where new ideas and new trends emerge every day. Continuing to enhance your own professional/personal development, or investing in yourself, is a primary responsibility that owners of small service businesses often forget to do when they've got lots of business. Taking the time to read just one more article or go to just one…

Wedding Planned in an Hour

With less than 7 months remaining until the big W day on August 8, Eric and I had a serious discussion about our wedding plans. We both have unpleasant memories of our first weddings -- too much hassle, too much stress, too many people.

10 Essential Questions to Ask Your Target Market

"My target market is everybody." Is this statement true for your business? If so, how is that working for you? My guess would be that it's not working at all. I shudder when a client tells me that their target market is everyone. When you target everyone, it's too hard to focus on anyone and you attract no one.



One of the most terrifying decisions an online business owner makes is the decision to refine and define their target market. Why? Generally…

Read It Later

I love the Firefox browser, but I have a bad habit. I often keep 20 or more tabs open at one time for sites I want to go back and take a closer look at but don't want to commit them to my bookmark program right away.

Article Marketing: 15 Secrets to Repurposing Your Articles to Work for You Again and Again

My favorite Internet marketing strategy of all time is article marketing. It keys into one of my talents, writing, and I can use the articlesI create time and time again for a multitude of purposes. I tend to be lazy by nature, so anything that lets me create once and get paid, get paid, get paid, etc. is a dream marketing strategy.



I made a firm commitment to writing one article per week in 2003 or so, and now have an entire article library that I use…

Updating Your Website(s)

I got a funny email from my brother over the weekend as he was searching online for my email address. In a nutshell he said, "How many d*mn websites do you have, anyhow? I Googled you to find your email address and got tired of looking at all of the listings that came back." As an online business owner, I personally think that's pretty cool to be an online legend with lots of listings that come back linked to me. I…

However, when I speak to clients about using this marketing strategy, many believe that they don't have enough content to create a powerful 45-60 minute teleseminar. Do you share that same belief? If you've ever written an article, you've got enough information to create a teleseminar.
