No matter what your online business is, you're going to be an internet marketer in some form or fashion and from time to time you're going to need help with things like building and optimizing your site, developing an opt-in list, blogging, getting traffic, promoting etc.

We're not all born just knowing this stuff. There will be some things you figure out easily and others you'll need help with.  Short of listening to all the gurus and signing up for a bunch of newsletters and membership sites your best resource will be the forums.    More… »

One of the things most people don't understand when starting an online business is that they don't truly know how to effectively start a business.  They consistently fall prey to unscrupulous marketers, they often lack focus and many lose large sums of money simply because they don't know how to market online.

An internet business, just as with any business, requires a realistic approach, trusted training, networking and understanding what actually works and what might lead to failure.

That's the topic of my guest article written by a colleague of mine, Megan Vaillancourt of Myinternetbusiness.com. 

Megan has created a successful internet mentoring site built on a few solid strategies that everyone should take a long hard look at.  They are what have brought Megan and her business from failure to success.   More… »

Sometimes there are days when things just don't seem to come together.  Here's a bit of inspiration that may help. 

"Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste.  The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense."   Thomas A. Bennett

Your unique selling proposition is what differentiates you and your products from the rest of the world.  It's what gives your product an 'edge'.  It tells the consumer why you are better than the competition.  It's your competitive advantage.

For example, consider FedEx, "When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight".  Is this a competitive edge?  Absolutely…                      More… »

I often hear the word "professionalism" tossed around, but sometimes people think that it simply means looking good, having a great website, products, etc. 

While that's all part of being professional there's also the piece about dealing with others that a lot of people miss. 

Take for example this morning, I was trying to access an affiliate program that I hadn't been on in awhile and for some reason I didn't have it in my affiliate programs excel spreadsheet that I keep, my bad  :- |   So I wrote to the affiliate manager and asked for my password, most programs are automated for retrieving passwords, but this one wasn't. 

Anyway, a few hours later I received a scathing message saying: 

"Do you think I just have all day to look for your password?  Here's your password and stop wasting my time."

"Yikes!" Ok, what do you think I'm going to do with that affiliate program? 

First of all, I'm finished promoting them, actually it wasn't a very good affiliate program anyway.

Secondly, that was not a "professional" response, at all!

Professionalism means responding to customers, clients, colleagues or whoever in a courteous, calm manner.  This means no matter how angry or disturbed with them you are, there's no need to be rude or unkind.

Whenever I find myself feeling angry with someone on the other side of my emails I always start with addressing them by name, I answer their question or comment in a direct, courteous manner and never become emotional and say things that aren't in a friendly tone.

It may be hard to kill them with kindness but it's definitely an example of how to be "professional".

Oh well, thanks for listening to my rants …it's been a tough day
