Everything is about marketing if you think about it.

This is the third post in the new blog expert series called: Successful Corporate Blogs and we talk about a technique that many people DO EXPLOIT…for the wrong reasons!

If you’ve had the misfortune to purchase one of the wrong “guru” courses, the words “easy” and “fast” are thrown around a lot.

“Get to the top of Google in a nanosecond”

“Make a million in a day”

…and blah, blah, blah.

Unless you are incredibly lucky and talented, and have a lot of money to invest in marketing campaigns, it’s not going to happen.

What You Should Do On Your Blog To Make More Sales

Ahh, the power of advertising and marketing.

We live in a world where we can’t go anywhere without being hit by a barrage of sales messages.

We sit down to watch a film, only to find that after a few minutes the television adverts come on, prompting us to buy things, try things, suggesting that we aren’t whole or complete as people unless we part with our cash for the latest products.

We open a paper, and every other paragraph seems to be a call to action for us to reach for the credit card.

Decluttering Like Mad

I’m still decluttering and am thoroughly enjoying myself.

Over the weekend I went through my pile of CD’s that I have collected over years. These CD’s are PC related. So software, drivers, games, upgrades…that sort of thing.

Even if I say so myself, I have kept some rubbish.

Thing is, you load the software and safely store the CD away. Years later the software is out of date but you’ve kept the CD!

No longer!

I dumped all the ones I no longer need.

The photo is a bit dark but trust me…there are about 20 CD’s in that picture.

internet mentorAs mentioned in my first post in this series on ‘How I Quit My Job To Start My On-line Business’ I was excited and shocked.

I was keen to start…I was going to earning an awesome on-line income very quickly.

It was August 2006 and I knew very little about making money via the internet. I needed some guidance and I was happy to invest in my new adventure.

I decided I needed an Internet Mentor.

I did some research on-line and found one who specialised in mentoring people who wanted to offer coaching services on-line.

Interview A Fellow Blogger And Get More Traffic

interview preparationMore and more bloggers are offering to interview fellow bloggers. Here’s a video blog post of me being interviewed.

Why?

Well…it can bring you more traffic.

Think about it…the interviewer and the interviewee are both going to promote it. That means you could both be exposed to each others regular visitors.

But interviewing is not easy. You have to put in a lot of preparation.

Interviews are as nerve-wracking for the person conducting the questioning as the person being interviewed. In any interview scenario, there are always two people on show simultaneously, and both can be either judged or praised for their performance.

How To Avoid Product Failure

create product 1If you’ve been following my blog for any period of time, you’ll know that I’m a huge advocate of getting a really great product behind you to sell or give away to your customers.

A product helps you in all sorts of ways – it brings traffic to your site, gives your customers a great insight in to the kind of services you can provide, and also helps earn revenue if you decide to charge for your product rather than giving it away for free.

Having said all this, a product will only do these great things if it is right on target and what your customers are looking for.
