Decade of the Internet Marketer?

January 24, 2010

Will this be the decade every­one became an Inter­net mar­keter? I get less calls from tele­mar­keters than I get pro­mo­tional spam from Inter­net mar­keters. Yet, it’s still the tele­mar­keters who get the worst rep­u­ta­tion.
When I read blogs about Inter­net or online mar­ket­ing I can’t really take any of them seri­ously. If they really were […]

Bring Back the Ezines?

August 14, 2009

Should ezines make a come­back? Although an ezine can use con­tent man­age­ment sys­tems (blog soft­ware) it is the for­mat and style which make them dif­fer­ent. An ezine is an online mag­a­zine. They don’t need to be pub­lished daily, they don’t need to be the work of just one per­son and they can have var­i­ous sections […]

Pretty Simple Site Promotion Ignored

July 28, 2009

It bugs me when I go to a busi­ness or char­ity type of site and find they have noth­ing extra to offer me. Not only is it harder and harder to find a real way of con­tact­ing any­one online but they are often really skimpy on con­tent too. What are they sav­ing it for? Why […]

Offline Promotions

July 23, 2009

Have you thought about using sources off the Inter­net to pro­mote your site?  This idea has been on my mind for awhile. I often think we can only get so far in using online pro­mo­tions. Peo­ple online are get­ting ad blind from see­ing ads on every site, every day. There aren’t even many peo­ple left […]

Keeping Up With Events Online

July 7, 2009

What do you need for an online event? A lot!
Blog­World New Media Expo 2009 has a post about what you can do to fol­low and (sort of) par­tic­i­pate in the event if you can’t make it to Las Vegas this Octo­ber. Five things on the list, do you have access to them all? Would you be […]

SEO for Your Site">Simple SEO for Your Site

June 16, 2009

Have a look at URL Appraisal for fun, mainly. See what it says your domain is worth. I think any­thing not on it’s own domain is already going to score low from this SEO based site. Word­Gr­rls was appraised at $512.80.
I had a look at what they rec­om­mend for sim­ple things you can do for […]

Evangelist Marketing: Using the Buzz!

May 18, 2009

I stum­bled on the term evan­ge­list used in a job descrip­tion. It was a first for me. I went on to read more and look it up as a career option too. I did find a job which wanted some­one to cre­ate buzz for their com­pany using all the social media and other online options. […]

Looking for a Link Exchange?

May 16, 2009

Want to trade links with me? Let’s not do it the old fash­ioned way. I don’t want to have a huge list of sites I don’t really want to endorse by giv­ing them a link here. I don’t want to check each link to make sure the con­tent has not had a sud­den change of […]

Handling Fanmail

July 10, 2006

I started read­ing “Guer­rilla Mar­ket­ing for Writ­ers”. One thing that struck me as was this:
“You can show your involve­ment with your fans by being cor­dial when you con­tact them, by being help­ful to them, and by ask­ing about them.”
Almost no one does that any more in the great big, fast, con­densed world of email. Yet, I think […]

Site Promotion and Emotion

March 13, 2006

One thing any­one read­ing this has in com­mon is that we are writ­ing online. Its a dif­fer­ent market/ medium from print, obvi­ously. But not always in obvi­ous ways. The lan­guage is dif­fer­ent. The rate at which con­tent needs to be refreshed is much dif­fer­ent. The prob­lems with hav­ing con­tent stolen are also dif­fer­ent and more […]

Have you got the Correct Linkage?

February 13, 2006

I’m read­ing ‘The Weblog Hand­book’ by Rebecca Blood. Among the things worth not­ing is using your link­age on a web­site. It’s not enough to dis­play links to other sites. What you need to do is click on your own links. That way the web­mas­ters will see you and know you are link­ing to them. Otherwise […]
