How To Start A Convenience Store
Nearly every corner in the country has some sort of smaller convenience store. These stores help to fill the gaps in a shopping trip or aid travelers who are on their way to other locations. However, starting convenience stores requires knowledge of what people need and where they might need it.The term convenience store denotes the idea that you are providing convenience to your customers. And the first way that you can address this need is to be in a location that is convenient. You might want to survey your local vicinity to see where people might be aided by the placement of a store. Look at the local businesses as well as traf

How to Write Articles that Are Specifically Geared Towards List Building
I think that this is one of the most misunderstood areas of article marketing for list building. You see, I think that so many people simply write articles about something they want to write about, and write them the way they want to, without any regard for what the visitor, the reader, needs.You cannot just write anything, trash, whatever you want to call it, submit it to an article directory, and sit back and expect the traffic to come in.You have to write in such a way that you are meeting the readers’ needs.Have you ever read an article that did not teach you anything? What did you do? If you are like me, you hit th

The “Number One” Question - the question that I (and probably every other Internet marketing expert on the planet) am most frequently asked:

“How do I get to be Number One in the search engines for widgets? After all, my company is the world’s leading provider of widgets - it’s ridiculous that these other nobody companies are coming up in search engines ahead of us . . . ”

My response is almost always along the lines of:

“Forget that right now, and get a life!”

OK, so I am a little more tactful than that - and I do occasionally encourage an in-depth search engine optimization strategy, but usually I’ll encourage clients to spend their website promotional budget in other ways.

Here are the main reasons why I’m not generally enthusiastic about free search engines:

1. You have to be really careful in choosing keywords

Many people make the mistake of focusing on very generic keywords. Not only are these even more difficult to get top placement in, but they also won’t generate you targeted traffic.

A prospect approached me recently for help with a coaching site. This site promotes teleseminars to help clients implement life changes described in various motivational books. This prospect initially said that he wanted to be “Number One” on a search for “books”.

I’d suggest this would be a virtually impossible challenge for any search engine optimizer. But in addition, someone searching for “books” is probably really looking for Amazon, or Barnes & Noble, and not my client’s teleclasses. He could spend a lot of money for very few qualified leads.

Attack Of The Scumbag - Beware The Entrpreneurial Sociopath (Part I)
One of my favorite maxims is “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you”. I generally apply it the quote to government, but in a business world pretty well wrapped up into pseudo-new-age “secrets”; it helps to remember that you can’t “positive think” your way out of every situation. All the good vibrations in the world are not going to make some people behave with honor and integrity. In business, there are people whose ill will and appetite for destruction cannot be satiated. These are the entrepreneurial sociopaths.It’s no wonder to me that criminals and entrepreneurs have similar personality traits. We

The Perfect Job at Only a Click Away
From the day we graduate college, most of us are looking for that perfect job, the one that we feel we could never get tired of, the one that we’ve been dreaming of since childhood and, of course, the one that guarantees a fair to high income monthly. However, only a few manage to actually find it, often after years of searching whilst trying many other jobs that bring no professional satisfaction whatsoever. In today’s society it has begun to be increasingly difficult to find a decent job in the same field of activity mentioned in the graduation diploma, forcing many people to rethink their plans for the future, starting with the job they wan

We all talk “geekspeak” - it’s often second nature to us within our industry or area of expertise. And it’s easy to forget that our prospects don’t always use the same terminology. One of the most difficult areas in copywriting that I see is when technology sales people are trying to describe their products to a non-technical market - the result is usually incomprehensible!

But there’s also the jargon that we use as a matter of pride, or because we’ve lost touch with how our markets think of us.

I worked recently with an association of plastic surgeons. They had their member database on their Web site, and wanted to attract visitors there to find a local practitioner.

Their “Number One” target keyword for the search engines was “rhinoplasty”. Well, I can only spell this because I just looked it up for this article - but usually you and I in the general public would never think of that - of course, we’d be searching for . . . “nose jobs”!

The surgeons didn’t like this at all from an academic standpoint. But they had to concede the point when I presented evidence on most common searches from Overture’s very handy Search Term Suggestion Tool at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion.

3. It’s very passive marketing . . .

My most pressing argument for not spending too much time on free search engines is that it’s a very passive form of marketing. You’re relying on a prospective visitor waking up in the morning, and realizing that they need something that you might provide. Then, you’re relying on them choosing the precise

Many musicians complain about the lack of gigs they have, but when I ask them to look closely at the type of venue they are searching, the repeated pattern seems to be clubs, stadiums, concert halls and pubs. What I would like to share here is to keep a real look out and be totally aware of the possible gig locations and don’t limit yourself. How about restaurants, parks, malls or my favourite, the local coffee shops?
