| Boost Your Business in 3 Simple Steps |
| For all those who still think internet marketing is rocket science, it isn't.
Back in the middle of October in 2004 I decided to do these 3 things. (I've always 'done' them, but not as consciously or on as regular a basis.) I had big plans that were stalling, sites that had leveled off, and was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm sure lots of people can relate to that, eh?
I'm also not sure exactly what or who made these things come to me. I read a lot, so I'm sure it's not an original idea, just o More.. |

| Stitching Up a Niche |
| I am a great admirer of businesses that serve and market to one or a small number of niches. It's such a great business model and one of the fastest ways to grow a business. I know one marketer who develops websites exclusively for life coaches, another business that develops marketing programs for the spa and pool industry, and another business that specializes in providing tax services for clergy. And they're all busy!

My advice is - Don't *
Perhaps it's because I'm skeptical of the number of "miracle" products, "great deals", 'limited time offers' or 'incredible packages' that are advertised online every day. Perhaps it's because I have bought more products than I can possibly use for now. Perhaps it's because there are probably more people trying to sel More.. |

| What Big Pharma Can Teach You About Niche Marketing |
| A recent newspaper review of a new book, Selling Sickness, got me thinking about niche marketing (The Globe and Mail, Saturday, August 6, 2005, D8-D9). The book in question considers case studies that purport to show how "Big Pharma" (the entire pharmaceutical industry, from manufacturers to drug salespeople) manipulates data to "create" a disease that they have the "cure" for.
Regardless of how one feels about the pharmaceutical industry, the book does demonstrate one thing-the ability of this More.. |

| Never Underestimate the Value of Giving Things Away |
| "Never underestimate the value of giving things away." I remember as kid hearing these words on a regular basis.

But, I'm also a businessperson who enjoys earning a living, and in business, our primary goal is to maximize profits. So we have what appears to be an obvious conflict here. How does one remain profitable, let alone increase profit levels if they're giving thi More.. |
