Lead Generation Tips And Ideas For Small Business Owners
It’s never easy to come up with business name ideas. I recently blogged about it on my Business Coaching Blog and thought I should mention it here because every business needs a domain name or URL to match their business name. The article I refer to in my blog post was actually published on the […]
We all know SHIFT HAPPENS. But wouldn’t it be nice to have 20/20 Foresight? Consider these digital disruptions:* The world’s largest taxi company owns no taxis (Uber) The largest accommodation provider owns no real estate (AirBnB) The biggest communication companies own no infrastructure (networks) (Skype, WeChat) The most valuable retailer has no inventory or stores […]
Even though this is a study by Virgin Mobile, it still puts into question the true so-called value of Social Media… As you know from reading this blog, I am NOT a proponent of Social Media. I rely on RESULTS to direct my marketing and sales activities. If you do what everyone else does, you […]
We all need more free disk space – especially in the cloud. If you aren,t using DropBox, click on the hyperlink and you’ll instantly get 500 Mb of free space – need more? Invite more friends and you can get up to 16 GB of free space. Dropbox is ideal when you run a virtual […]
As a reader or subscriber to this blog, you’ve seen countless examples of antimimeticisomorphism. Antimimeticisomorphism is defined as having fun doing out-of-the-ordinary things that create extra-ordinary results with the least amount of effort and lowest cost. The video excerpt below is taken from the major motion picture movie adaptation of Michael Lewis’ bestselling book – […]
Yesterday, I blogged about how online lead generation was quick and easy, with a LIVE example. Today is a follow up with two parts. The first part is how Lynn Gilmartin had a fabulous experience floating and video blogged about it. Inner Outer Health is a client of ours and its owner, Lena Yammine was […]
What I love to do is uncover “lies” that distract or distort people’s reality or perceptions of reality… For example, I think Malcolm Gladwell is one of the best business non-fiction writers around. His book Outliers was a phenomenon for non-academically inclined business people. He brought the world of ‘Expert Performance‘ to the layperson in […]
I recently came across this image that even though it speaks for itself, it begs asking yourself the question: Does technology liberate you or enslave you? I remember back in 1988 when I wanted to have a so-called cellular phone, which at the time was more of a battery with a handset attached to it. […]
The true power of the Internet is its ability to reduce the cost of communicating with your suspects and prospects. The video below, by the Book Box Company is the perfect explanation of what they do, how they do it and why it’s important to the final (finished) product. There is no doubt that once […]
Many small business people treat one of their most precious assets as an afterthought, rather than as one of their most precious assets. It’s not inconceivable for a website to be worth $100,000+ when there is a legitimate brick and mortar business “behind it”. Put differently, years ago, when you bought a Yellow Pages ad, […]
I was interviewed by Ludwina Dautovic for Red Tent Radio yesterday and I have to admit it was one of the most fun interviews I’ve done in a long time. We got started and before we knew it, the 40 minutes were up! We talked about blogging for small business owners. The interview will be […]
The video below deals with the inevitable electronic archive that survives us… This is an interesting perspective that makes you think beyond the here and now without being morbid.
One of the ways I gauge entrepreneurs or business executives’ effectiveness and efficiency is how they respond to their emails. Without requiring ‘instant responses’, within one week of correspondence I can identify the ‘top 10%’ from the bottom ‘90%’. This is 2012. We are in the 21st century with email at the nucleus of our […]
This is 2011. Forget the Information Age, we’re in the Information Overload Age. I see it every day. People just can’t keep up with it all (even though many waste more than an hour a day on Facebook, but that’s a rant for another day). As a business person, you need you to read the […]
During my recent Business Blogging For Sales Lead Generation event tour in Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney, participants heard a preview of my rant on Privacy Pirates which I’ve been proselytising about for quite some time. Karen Bonanno, a 2011 Exponential Entrepreneur Of The Year Award Winner, sent me the infographic below that […]
The Grand Rapids LipDub Video (below) was filmed May 22nd, with 5,000 people and involved a major shutdown of downtown Grand Rapids, which was filled with marching bands, parades, weddings, motorcades, bridges on fire, and helicopter take offs. It is the largest and longest LipDub video, to date. This video was created as an official […]
Earlier this week, I blogged about how Vaseline and radioactivity are related to make a point – well actually, to illustrate how William Tucker has been able to reduce the fear mongering propaganda of the mass media to simple, easy-to-understand metaphors and analogies that any 5th grader can understand. Mt Tucker recently added another article […]
Did you know you can fart proof your dog? If you’ve ever had a dog with flatulence, you know how valuable this can be. The Internet Marketing Lesson is that I explained how to leverage this fact to two clients: One leveraged it and the other didn’t. Which one do you think has doubled sales […]
Let me state my bias right up front – I am not into texting or tweeting. I think Twitter is mostly a massive waste of time. Yes – I have a Twitter page and joined Twitter 2 years before it became mainstream. However there are always exceptions to the rule, like this article in The […]
As you’ve come to expect from me and my blogs, I come at things from a different perspective and paradigm. My goal for my blogs is to be the catalyst for ideas that can help you grow your business. The Internet is an exponential tool that can help in countless ways. Today’s post is another […]
