The World's Greatest Sales Letter
It all started innocently enough.
One day I got one of those marketing letters in my email box. You know, the one where you send 5 dollars to each person on the list and then everybody's supposed to send money back to you. I'd never even given any of those kinds of emails a second look before, but this one got my attention.

The whole universe is learning and evolving. How about you?
I find it invigorating to consider how creativity, and the ability to learn and adapt, is a natural capacity built into all living systems. The ability to learn is an instinctive and primary trait that is a sign of life itself. Human beings, companies, forests, the ocean, the entire environment of earth, and the solar system. All are living systems, all are intelligent, all are learning, and all are adapting to life... And in the process of all this "living" each system will radically change over time.

What Do I Sell?
What do I sell? This is a very critical question that I get asked very often. Yes there are loads of people out there who have obtained all the right online marketing tools, they have learned all the concepts and techniques of online marketing, yet they don`t know what to sell. Yes they keep shuffling along from program to program hoping to strike it rich somewhere. They loose a lot of money along the way to ultimately get disillusioned.

Forget High Rank: Optimize For User Queries
I am constantly amazed by the search engine optimization (SEO) dialog that centers on page content. Statements like, "I want my page to come up first on the search engine" or "My page is first on Google" are signs that the person just does not understand the challenge. Search engine results start not with the page but with the user query, and that is what we have to understand and manage in order to develop a customer-centric Web strategy.

The Dare-to-be-Different in Marketing Checklist

If your prospects aren't seeing the value you offer, you may be coming across as the same and not daring to be different.

What's more stressful? A workload that requires a long stretch of 10- to 12-hour days? Or a slow and quiet flow of work that forces you to eat up your financial cushion and leaves you borrowing to make your mortgage payment? Both extremes are troubling beyond measure and both are common in the unpredictable world of business ownership.

Your Creative Web Site
During 2003, a Web site stopped being an optional extra for all creatives, including writers. It's now the expected thing. If I read a book by a writer I've never heard of, I'm not only disappointed if I find that she doesn't have a Web site, I feel it also puts her credibility in question. Publishers are well aware of this expectation. Although publishing houses haven't been on the cutting edge of technology, they now all provide Web space for their authors. They know that readers expect and want to get in touch.

Working With A Creative Marketing Firm
With competitive shopping you simply request a few bids and go with the lowest price. Although the right person for the job might also happen to be the lowest bidder, it's unwise to shop for price alone when your image is at stake. Consider the comparative shopping alternative: search for the firm that can best meet your needs within the limits of your budget. Choosing the right firm for the job is just as important as the decisions you'll make during the course of developing your marketing materials. Take the time compare. Find your perfect match.

The Benefits of Catalog Sales For Your Business
Things to watch out for when selling your product in catalogs:
Giving away the farm. Many catalogs will ask for a multitude of discounts and concessions before they even place one order. You give them a set price for your product. But they insist on a lower price. They expect you to pay freight. They want an "advertising allowance." They ask for a volume discount, a catalog allowance, and a photography fee. The requests for concessions go on and on. But beware of this game. If a catalog truly likes your product, they will usually pick it up without requiring a ton of concessions.

Your Odds of Getting Published
Most beginning writers are curious about their chances of ever seeing their work in print. Editors have told me that a mid- to large-sized publishing house gets upwards of 5000 unsolicited submissions a year. About 95% are rejected right off the bat (most get form letters, a few promising authors get personalized notes stating why the manuscript was rejected). Of the 5% left, some are queries for which the editors request entire manuscripts. Others are manuscripts submitted in their entirety, and these go on to the next stage of the acquisitions process (get passed around the editorial department, presented at editorial meetings, perhaps looked at by sales staff to get a sense of the market for the book). The end result is that 1-2% of unsolicited submissions are actually purchased for publication.

Outsourcing - A positive approach for Small Businesses
Outsourcing is the strategic use of outside resources to perform activities traditionally handled by internal staff and resources. Small business owners can outsource non-core functions to specialized and efficient service providers. It is required of businesses to hire special contractors for particular types of work or to meet the demands put forth by sudden spurts in the workload. Recently, the trend of partnering with firms whose capabilities complement their own giving them an access to resources that were beyond their individual reach has come up. The difference between simply subcontracting and outsourcing is that outsourcing involves the wholesale restructuring of the corporation around core competencies and outside relationships.
