Social Media Marketing: Making Time For It
I recently found myself in a situation where I no longer had time to continue social media marketing activities for my own business. All I had time for was keeping up with the needs of my clients. My number one priority shifted to helping take care of my mom who recently had heart surgery. Fortunately, my sister and I both have home-based businesses so our schedules were the most flexible. Other family members who pitched in had to take time off from work. What I found is that it was all I could do to help with my mom and take care ...

Why A Business Blog Is Worth The Investment

Internet Marketing, Lead Generation, SEO: What Are You REALLY Paying For?
I just spoke to a prospect who was referred to me and wanted to compare my internet marketing, web design and search engine optimization services with that of another company. The prospect mentioned that they would get a keyword domain name as part of their "package". This immediately got me to thinking! And here is why: I have a client who used to pay several hundred dollars a month to a lead-generation company that provided him with a keyword domain name, website and 800 number.

Replicated Websites: Not Usually The Best Solution
Companies in a variety of industries provide replicated websites. Two of the most common are network marketing and real estate.
