Blogs and Blogging

How to contact a blogger - FruitfulTime

Make sure that your comments offer some added value to the post. It is of utmost importance that you sign each comment on the blog so that when you later on get in contact with the blogger, recognising you will be easy.

Internet Marketing

Business Networking is Like an Orange Tree - Robert Michel

You cant make a kid to wait a few weeks to go to Disney World. Personal networking is no different. When I joined my local Chamber of Commerce several years ago, I wanted instant gratification. When I showed up to a networking event, I expected the phone to ring the next day. Like my son, I wanted instant results and had no patience to wait. As a networker, I was too immature to comprehend that great things could happen later on.

Effective use of the Internet - Marco

The internet is by far the cheapest and most effective way to market yourself in the modern world. Every business can gain benefit from the internet, be it an online company or not. Even people who work solely through a company such as eBay can utilise the internet more effectively – the union between an eBay shop and an independent online shop can be an extremely effective way of increasing business.

Selling Is Simply Knowing the Right Questions to Ask - Terry Dean

If you want to be a successful salesperson, learn to ask the right questions. Most salespeople simply talk too much and never give their prospects a chance to respond. They want to give their pitch and just hope something sticks. That’s no way to sell. Let’s actually take it one step further. NO ONE wants to be sold. It’s not your job to sell anyone as a salesperson. You’re not going to overpower them with your fantastic selling skills. It’s your job to simply provide them with the information necessary for them to sell it to themselves.

Online networking and Offline networking compared - Doris Chua

• Online networking is 24/7 whereas you can only network offline during office hours, generally speaking (let’s exclude the night entertainment bit)
• Online networking is global and is borderless whereas offline networking requires your physical presence
• Online networking allows you to meet multiple contacts at any one time whereas offline has limitations
• With Online networking, you can be in your PJ whereas offline requires you to dress up smartly

Making Money

TNX.net - A New Text Link Ad Marketplace - Taylor

If you’re looking for a fantastic alternative to the Text-Link-Ads site and marketplace, then TNX.net (TNX pronounced as the word “thanks”, as in internet chat speak) could be your perfect solution. They target both advertisers and publishers in a great way. This site could easily surpass other text link ad websites, you just watch and see.

Search Engine Optimization

Use Wordtracker to Identify What Customer Wants - Edith Yeung

WorkTracker is a great tool to help and reduce (or possibly eliminate) guess work. The key learning for me is that not all people necessarily search on keywords that exactly match my products or services. For EY.com, the offering is personal and professional development, but not everyone are looking for exactly that, instead they are looking for something else. I can give them what they are looking for and offer something in addition to what they want.
