Consultants, entrepreneurs, and other independent professionals
often find themselves performing a juggling act: providing their
products and services while also carrying out tasks related to
marketing, customer service, and day-to-day operations. As
important as these activities are to business survival, they
don't directly contribute to the bottom line and, more
importantly, they divert attention away from those that do.
While that can be said for a company of any size, small
office/home ...Read more...
One of the best things about writing articles is connecting with
people. Sometimes Internet marketing can seem like an
impersonal, sterile world.
People will write me asking for advice. The main thing they want
to know is how to be "successful" in Net marketing.
One thing that strikes me about the people who write me is that
very few want to spend the money or invest the time necessary to
be "successful." They seem to want instant riches without having
to spend a dime or invest a few hours each ...Read more...
With all the other businesses out there you must find a way to
market your business uniquely (a 'niche') causing it to stand
out from among the rest.

relationships with your customers and fellow netpreneurs by
building a good reputation, one customer at a time.
So what does this have to do with the Internet? Or maybe you are

to my customers, it's all automated."
Even with ...Read more...
If you are little bit like me when I started with Internet
marketing, you'll often find yourself searching for your special
bookmarks or free e-books/articles and software you downloaded.
Being subscribed to more than 20 ezines in the area of Internet
marketing, I'm living proof that pieces of information which are
really useful to you, can pile up very fast. If you don't have a
system how to organize all the resources you've read about or
articles you would like to use in the next issue of ...Read more...
One day I was walking and came across a box with a kitten in
it. The box was too high for the kitten to escape and he just
laid there dejected and seemingly out of life. I wondered what
kind of cruel person could do this.
I gently lifted the kitten out of the box and placed him on the
ground in front of me and lo and behold it was like he was
transformed! His eyes widened and he was full of life just like
any normal kitten!
What about your marketing and advertising efforts on the

Making Valuable Contacts Online
Copyright (c) 2003 by Angela Booth
Remember the old saying: "it's not what you know, it's who you

succeeds or fails, and for reasons of credibility, that's doubly
true online.
Many people bristle when someone suggests that they network. If
the term networking puts you off, then think of it as making

prospective clients need to hear your ...Read more...
Almost everyone I have known since getting on-line five years
ago has a driven ambition to design their own web site or sales
pages for some project of theirs. Yours is a special design or
article that makes it tough to design everyday web-pages for it
seems. But thru the years what I call "html" blues has stopped
more than one project to fold. The endless 'TESTING' to make
sure everything works as designed has caused more than one to
turn away from a profitable career on-line. This program ...Read more...

Are your marketing efforts hit and miss? Do you do some
marketing every day?
Regardless of whether you are marketing your own program or
someone else's program, there are many different ways to market
