Life (And Online Networking) Doesn’t Work Like That…

The more involved and experienced I get with marketing a business online, the more I can see how and why so many people jump on the bandwagon, become disillusioned when it doesn't work for them and then denounce it as an evil way of doing business.

It's funny how things often come full circle; we recently completed a blog project for one of my previous mentors who's really the one to blame for unleashing my inner blogging demon. Although I'd started a blog previously, it was Nicola who encouraged me to focus it more on promoting the business I was running at ...

Blogs vs Mailing Lists & Ezines: How Do They Work Together?

In a conversation with a prospect-turned-new client earlier this week, we were discussing the *best* methods for selling to prospects via the web. Naturally the conversation included blogs and ezines/mailing lists. The client had a great question: How do you use a blog to drive people to sign up to your mailing list so you have their ...
