Keep It Alive, Part 1: Using Email to Stay in Touch with Your Network ion about a certain company or perhaps you want to introduce us to a company that we should know about.. All that you need to do is either shoot us out an email using our contact form on our website at www.namcnewswire.com or give us a call toll free at 888-463-9237 between the hoursGuess what? Today you will be taking field trip!No permission slip needed.THE DESTINATION: your inbox.Here’s your first assignment:Start by going back to your oldest saved email message. Maybe it’s from last year. Maybe it’s from last month. Maybe it’s from last century. But spend the next half-hour working your way backwards to today.By reviewing past emails, you’ll come across people, messages and issues you’ve completely forgotten all about. You might think, “Wow, I wonder what Karen’s been up to lately!” or “Hmm…I don’t recognize Mike’s name. Better re-read his message to refresh my memory.”Either way, this trip down e-memory lane is the perfect exercise to workout those out of shape networking muscles. And if you can reconnect with just one person you otherwise wouldn’t have talked to, it will be worth it.OK. Here’s your second assignment:Another underused feature for staying in touch is the email auto-completer. Depending on which mail client you use, you should be able to do this in a few quick steps:1. Go to “compose new message.” 2. Punch in any letter of the alphabet. 3. You should be prompted with a dozen or so potential email addresses starting with that same letter. Pick a name and email away!It’s actually kind of fun. You’ll Have You Sold Your Internal Customers? It’s Friday May 12, 2006, and it’s the last day of the trading week, and what a week it was. From Gold, Silver, Copper and other metals as well as the Dow making historic highs to the Fed raising the benchmark interest rate to 5%, it was one to remember. Hopefully today the Bulls will come out and put a positive spin on the week after yesterdays decline, it was a bloody day on the screen. Traders and Investors were pulling away from equities to go where the money flowed yesterday and that was Metals and Oil, let me not forget that Crude Oil bounced over $73 as geopolitics has it on a rollercoaster ride.You can make the sale. You know your core message. You know your target market inside out, right?But if you have even one employee than you've got another sales job to do. Everyone in your organization must also be sold on the dream you have. Everyone who answers the phone, walks the sales floor, attends that Chamber event, or follow-up on a sales lead in your company’s name must be sold first.Let’s start to think of your employees and strategic partners as internal prospects. What have you done to really light their fire about what your company does, about how it is different, about the unique value you can bring to a service relationship?Most of the time small business owners completely neglect the notion of what might be called “marketing training.” But then they wonder why no one in the organization get pumped up about providing over the top service. Or why no one really has a clear picture of who or what makes a good lead.I can stress this notion enough. Any person in your organization that comes into contact with a client or prospect in any fashion is performing a marketing function.So, now that you know who the first target market is, get out there and start pounding the isles, cubicles, break rooms, and conference tables looking for prospects who are just dieing to to be sold on the vision you have for the business The NAMC Newswire’s “Wall Street to Main Street” segment in its entirety is only available to subscribers.

Feel passion when you are writing, and your writing will improve. Article writing is one of those exercises that for a few people produce truly phenomenal results online. Some online article authors are total amateurs, but their writing is also quite good. Quality is so essential to article marketing. You don’t want your web site to look like it’s cheap and aimless.There is no better way to increase traffic than having content and submitting this content to article sites. Many webmasters are using RSS Syndication and it is becoming the way content is delivered to websites on the internet. Creating unique good quality will help with the search engines and visitors. Without good, relevant content the Internet would be nothing. Many webmaster agree that relevant good quality content is king. The pages will be indexed in the search engines because the keywords are relevant and match the content of the article.One of the benefits of submitting articles to article directories is that once the article is there in the directory it is not archived as time goes on. There are niche directories that only accept articles within their niche. One of the best article directories are very easy to use and provide members with a lot of help in the form of online tutorials and help screen The NAMC Newswire’s “Wall Street to Main Street” segment in its entirety is only available to subscribers.

You might even by able to turn it into a decent second income.Some people have the idea that you shouldn't put advertisements on your website because it detracts from the experience. I only agree with this if the advertisements are not relevant to the content of your site, or if it's not something that would be useful to the visitor. But how do you constantly find advertisers who have something of interest to your website users?That question used to plague website publishers for a very long time, as not only was it hard to constantly find new and consistant advertisers, but the work load of adding the new and removing the old was a nightmare. For people who haven't discovered what I'm about to tell you, they will still continue to struggle. But you wont have that problem.Introducing Google Adsense:Google adsense is a product from google (If that wasn't already obvious) that enables you to automatically have relevant advertisements placed on your website for free. All you need to do, is copy and paste a small bit of script onto any area of your page and that's it, it's as simple as that. You never have to worry about it ever again, unless you want to change the look and feel of it again. But again this will only take a few minutes maximum.So The NAMC Newswire’s “Wall Street to Main Street” segment in its entirety is only available to subscribers.

We value your privacy and all email addresses are only used for NAMC related items and not shared with any third parties.Anti-American psyche war contributors are alive and well in Internet forums and political Blogs around the Internet. Many of these detractors of the United States of America have apparently been reading all of our media and then using all of our complaints against our government or society against us. So whereas we believe in free speech and freedom of the press to air our differences; they are using our negative comments about ourselves as a way to divide the American people and lessen our will in the war on terror.In fact many of these anti-American Bloggers will make comments about past issues with our CIA, as one anti-American commenter stated; “I am sure that you know about CIA bringing the drug into USA for many years is this your grate government as you call, it killing their own people with drug they don’t care.”Well if you really want to find out about the drug wars maybe you should ask some of the larger PRI stakeholders in Mexico and the Mexican Military about the drugs? And if you really want to talk about drugs, let’s talk about those fine Muslim “Talley Band” people and their cave dwelling billionaire’s son leader of theirs? Shall we?Of course in stating this, you would not believe the tirade they go into defending themselves. You see it seems that these psyche war bloggers actually believe they can defeat Americans with We want to hear from our readers/listeners, so drop us a line, maybe you have a question about a certain company or perhaps you want to introduce us to a company that we should know about..

Your question could be a part of the Wall Street to Main Street radio show that is syndicated daily.Want to know the #1 misconception among Internet marketers and website owners?Here it is:The biggest mistake web owners make is thinking that it's all about GETTING MORE TRAFFIC.The term 'web traffic' gets over 43,000 inquiries per month according to Overture - that's over half a million queries a year! And that's not including the related searches like 'web site traffic', 'get more hits', 'increase web traffic, etc.Of course this is understandable from one point of view. With search engines changing algorithms and competitor websites multiplying, it's understandable that web site traffic via the search engines is dwindling. (That's not the only way to get traffic but that's a whole NEW article). So wanting more traffic for your website is a noble aspiration.However it's not the most important thing. Not even close.There's another factor that's even MORE important than having a well designed website or even getting web site traffic. What is it?Web Conversion.Web conversion is the ratio of sales to visitors to your website. So for example, if you get 100 unique visitors to your website and make 1 sale, your conversion rate is 1 / 100 or 1%.Increasing your web conversion rate is 10 times more important than getting more traffic - in my humble opinion.Want proof?

Iran’s President stated that the country is ready to resume nuclear talks with the UN. This back and forth situation is taking its toll on the oil market as it has put crude oil on a rollercoaster ride. So only traders on the right side of the trend have smiles on their faces, but this trend changes daily.
