Why is that?
Last night the news reported the third day in a row of slipping stock prices - no surprise there. Ever since we bought stock, the price has fallen and fallen and fallen. We have the same luck with buying houses!However, the reporter also told us that AOL (Time Warner) had a 15% slip in their stock price, based on AOL's prediction that their advertising revenue will fall

Five Breakthrough Marketing Ideas
1. Offer to insert ads into your product package for other businesses. Just ask, in return that they do the same for your business. You should only trade insert ads with businesses that have the same target audience.2. Offer a free daily class in your web site's chat room. The class should be related to the subject of your business or web site. This will get people

So, you've finished your website. Your meta tags are in place, your forms are operational, and you can take payments online via credit cards and online checks. Now the hard work begins: You need to submit your site to the various search engines, directories, FFA pages, and anywhere else that can help visitors find you in the vast jungle of information we call the Internet.

I use to do all of this the hard way until I learned a few tricks of the trade that have made my endeavors a lot easier, which I will share with you now. All you need are the right tools.

The first one is a text editor such as Notepad. (You remember Notepad right? It's in there with your Windows Accessories.) Use this to type some standard information about your site so that working on your listings will be a simple matter of cut and paste. Here is the primary information you should have ready:

1) Your name (or business name)

2) Address (City, State, Zip)

3) Phone/Fax

4) Title of your Website

5) Short Description of your site (under 20 words)

6) Long Description of your site

7) Keywords

8) One or two Short Ads you can use for Advertising

If you have a newsletter that needs to be listed in ezine directories, you should include the following information as well:

1) Ezine Name

2) Ezine Description

3) How to Subscribe/Unsubscribe

4) URL of Archives (if available)

5) Does your Publication accept Articles?

6) If you Accept Ads -- what are the Rules?

7) Newsletter Category

8) Date Ezine was Started

9) Number of Subscribers

10) If copy available by Autoresponder

11) Two short ads that tout the benefits of your ezine that you can use online or in swaps with other ezine owners.

The beauty of all of this is that once you type all of this into Notepad, you're done. Simply save the text file to your desktop, then when you start your submissions, open it up, and cut and paste the information into the required fields. Trust me on this, it saves a lot of time. Why type the same data over and over?

Of course, there are some Freeware and Shareware programs available that also will help in your marketing efforts by storing all of this data. My favorite is TypeIt In Pro: http://www.wavget.com/typeitin.html

This program for Win 95/98 and NT will fill out forms on the Web using text you have assigned to individual buttons. If you promote more then one site, you can set up individual groups of buttons for each one. I really love this utility, and no one is paying me to say that.

Starting a Small Business: Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

The freight shipping industry in the UK could see some changes taking place over the next few years if the government has its way.

Do we as sales people create the sale through our dynamic personalities and outgoing demeanor. Hardly; we make the sale through our continued activity with the client. I will go out on a limb and boldly say we never manager sales, rather we manage activity. Should you disagree with this please read on.

Do you remember Ezines? For those who are new to the internet, an Ezine is an Electronic magaZINE that is delivered to your email in-box. There were and probably still are many different subjects that you could get an ezine for, from the humble Apple Pie to ZZ Top. They were produced weekly or monthly and those of us subscribed to an edition looked forward to the next one. On most ezines you were allowed to submit your own small offering for admission into the next edition.
