Black Sleuth
Afro American private investigators are not very visible in the sleuthing business, but there are a few who have established themselves and their agencies in the industry providing quality and needed services to their clients. Their viability in the industry is real and persuasive capitalizing on the shifting paradigm of business and poised to excel in the global economy. How viable? It depends on the solicitor’s perspective. However, at the end of the day a professional private investigator is judged by the way he con

7 Deadly Sins of Marketing
When I started my first marketing job I was asked to prepare a flyer and have it delivered to all the homes and businesses in the area. The company would then track the response rate and see if this number matched the norm for this type of marketing campaign. However, they measured the success by the number of sales from the campaign rather than the number of responses. In fact, they had no idea how many people responded but they did know how many people bought. When they dropped the campaign, the reasons were all wron

Hello again

Today we want to talk about viral marketing. This is a way of spreading the word about you and your products exponentially.

Viral marketing
At sometime in the past you have received an email message like this:

Hi, my name is Stanley. I am in the Second Grade at the Alfred C. Packer Memorial Elementary School in Central City, Colorado. We are doing a project. We are trying to see just how many people we can reach with this message by email in 48 hours. Please forward this message to everybody in your address book and ask them to do the same.

Messages like this have filled email boxes to overflowing in a matter of hours, and have caused email services to have to be shut down because of overload to their systems within 24 hours of the first posting.

Viral marketing works in a similar way, except the vehicle is an ebook rather than an email message.

You write an ebook about some subject of interest to your target market. Throughout the book you place links to your site. You make it attractive enough that your customers want to pass it on to their customers.

The number of copies in circulation expands exponentially, as did the email message from little Stanley. Here is how it works:

Suppose you send your ebook to four people and they each send it to four people
Now 16 people have copies and they each send it to four people
Now 64 people have copies
Then 256
Then 1024
Then 4096
Then 16384

If this process were to be repeated 10 times, your original book containing links to your website would be in the hands of 1,048,576 people. This is not too bad considering all you did was write a short but interesting book and email it to four people. :-)

The process is not quite this smooth and simple. First you must write a book that truly interests your readers. It must be something not only of interest to them, but something they feel they can pass on to their friends. Not everyone receiving it will immediat

Poor Performance - Your Options For Dealing With It Effectively
Poor performance is an issue that faces any manager from time to time. You can deal with it in several ways:• Put up with it (not to be recommended)• Re-brief or train to allow performance to improve.• Re-assign the person to another task that they can do.• Terminate employment.These options are linked. For example, you should only fire an under-performer having first explored the options of training or re-assignment. If having taken up these options there is no improvement, then mor

Home Office Living - Before, During, and After You Move In
Working the cube farm has been a disaster for worker productivity for years and you are finally fed up. Your company has offered you an opportunity to work from home. So finally, the home office is born. The choice of the location of your home office is crucial to your success. Too close to the activities going on and you get distracted. Too far away, and you become stranded on an island. Another concern is the “7-Eleven” effect, in other words, you are always open for business and in a very short time you find yourse

People like free stuff. In this business, most sales offers include a whole pile of bonuses, indeed, most copywriters will tell you bonuses are often of more interest to prospective buyers than the product on offer. So everybody selling information products is always on the lookout for things to give away.

Ebooks are written in one of two formats: PDF or with an HTML ebook compiler.

PDF stands for ‘Portable Document Format’. It is a recognised standard format for ebooks. Whenever you download a document that needs to be read using an Adobe® Acrobat Reader, you are looking at a PDF file.

To read a PDF file you need the Adobe® Reader. This can be downloaded free. I read somewhere recently that there are about 100,000,000 computers around the world with this reader installed. Anybody receiving your ebook will need one to read it.

PDF compilers are available in a range of prices – some that are free to download.

The option is to use ebook compiler software that uses HTML. An advantage of these compilers is that they can be read in a browser – no separate reader is needed.

HTML ebook compilers are available from about ?20 or more, depending on features.

There are a huge number of viral marketing programmes out there. Many offer you a package that includes the compiler, templates, marketing strategies, support and all the other bits you need to make it work. If you think you want to do some viral marketing, search the Internet and ask what your guru does.

As a business owner, you have the option of taking several different approaches to handling your Marketing and Advertising. You may choose to handle the responsibility yourself, with the idea that no one understands your business quite the way you do.. You may also consider hiring a full time marketing manager or even assigning the tasks, as they arise, to someone already working within your organization. Consider this… When your business needs plumbing work do you do it yourself? Hire a plumber to be on staff full time? Or ask your accountant to handle it?

The word entrepreneur gets kicked around a lot here on the web. But to be honest, I see more underpaid sales reps in the internet marketing sector than I see true entrepreneurs.

Offering coupons are a common and easy way to attract new or old clients to your salon, day spa or medical spa. But what kind of client are you really attracting? And are you profitably providing that service once the coupon is redeemed? Use these tips to make sure your clients are paying you for the service, and you are not paying them to walk in the door.
