It’s not too often that you see a closed door as a welcoming feature. An open one would, indeed, seem much more welcoming. So why is our door closed? It isn’t locked, just closed–but why? It is because I want our visitors to open it themselves when they are sure that they really do want to come in. That first step of every journey is crucial; it says that you have made a decision. It’s an important door, too, not only to you but historically. It is the door to Charles Dickens’s home. Dare to aspire!

This is not your usual “I’m making a cool million every year, and so can you” how-to manual. I’m just starting this business and haven’t made a cent! That’s right; I haven’t made one penny. Of course, I don’t expect that to be the case much longer!

Search engine optimization (SEO) covers a lot of territory.  It is a technique to be used in almost everything you do as a webmaster:  list building, article writing, advertising, affiliate sales and selling your own products, and more.  It’s how you say, “Hey, look at me!”

SEO is one of your best tools, and one of its best tools is the use of keywords and keyword phrases incorporated into every aspect of your site where it is appropriate to do so.  Careful!  It can also be an obsession, so aim toward incorporating it but not being a slave to it.

oops! Must have been a computer glitch…log in again. oops!

My stomach began to churn, and I could feel my face burning! This can’t be!

How do you get banned for spamming when your best effort at marketing is a timid little line in your signature, when your blog is probably the worst monetized on the web, and my mailing list members can certainly verify that I have never attempted to sell them anything that had a dollar sign attached to it–not even in a P.S. or in a one-liner under my signature?

New Year’s Eve is our one opportunity each year to look both backward and forward, at what is past and what might yet be.  In so doing, we have agreed to face our regrets and sorrows, our joys and successes, and the abundance of indecision of the past that may have been the most troubling of all… and we have agreed to speculate on what measure of those same things our futures might hold and how we might deal with them given a second chance.

But once again, someone said it better than I could: Perry Marshall, about whom I wrote in an earlier post.

In a post entitled I’m Thankful on his own blog, he has written about what we all should be thinking about…and written about it eloquently.  This quote particularly engaged my mind:

But you don’t get rid of bad things by obsessing
about them. You create alternatives.

And this one:

You don’t free enslaved people by enslaving free
people. You work to make free people even freer.

For a message to hold onto for the New Year, please read and enjoy Perry Marshall’s

I’m Thankful

A Joyous Holiday Season

and

A Happy and Prosperous New Year

Branding lets the world know who you are.

When we see or hear ‘The Greatest Show on Earth‘ we think of the Barnum and Bailey Circus, seeing the five interlocked circles reminds us of the Olympic Games, and fast food evokes many responses–hamburgers at  McDonald’s, Mexican food at Taco Bell, fried chicken with Colonel Sanders at Kentucky Fried Chicken to name a few.

Why then, when they see your name, your company name, or your company logo shouldn’t they think of you? Read the rest of this entry »

Is this what you want to see when you visit a blog or website?  More to the point, is this what you want visitors to YOUR  site to see?

If Google is allowed to continue forcing–yes, forcing–Sidewiki on site owners, that will be the fate of all of us.  Your friends can write anything they wish about you and your blog–and so can your enemies, competitors, and the just-having-fun pea-brains who enjoy making mischief.  You can neither prevent the intrusion of this large and unsightly sidebar on your site, nor can you remove any of its contents.  Sound scary?  It is!

Paul Myers has written a lengthy article about this on his blog at http://www.talkbiz.com/blog/ where you will find a thorough explanation of what this is all about and why it is outrageous behavior on Google’s part.  Read It!

Sometimes people think that using a pen name is unethical or unprincipled. Why is the author hiding? What does he or she have to hide? Is there something dishonest afoot? While some of these questions could, indeed, have unsavory answers, here are five good reasons why writers do and you should use a pen name. Read the rest of this entry »

Resources for internet marketers are not only tools and manuals. People are resources, too; they provide encouragement, motivation, and support as well as information and instruction.

When you are as picky as I am, you don’t honor too many people with the title ‘role model’. It usually takes a while, too– a test period–before that honor can be awarded. Perry Marshall is one of the bloggers I read early on, and I can truthfully say “I never looked back.” Read the rest of this entry »
