Finding Your Unique Selling Proposition

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… »

An Alternative to the Nightmare of Reciprocal Link Exchange

After being bombarded on a daily basis with 'reciprocal link exchange' requests, I've decided that this whole process needs a makeover.

We all know that the reciprocal link exchanges take up a huge amount of time with responding to emails, checking websites and updating the links I found myself just deleting most of the message requests, I know …not very nice, especially since I was inviting the link exchanges in the first place Embarassed

But there are not only more important things I could be doing, the whole reciprocal link exchange thing just isn't the best solution.   Neither party is gaining any real content value which is precisely what the search engines want and what my viewers deserve as well. 

So I found a better alternative…     More… »

Opt-in Email Marketing - Developing your Email list

Your business depends on getting visitors to your website or blog, but that is only part of the equation, you want your visitors to come back. Opt-in email marketing is a great way of bringing them back to your site and keeping them interested.

I was reading just last week that next to customer reviews, e-mail was the next best way for influencing online purchases.

To me that says developing your list and communicating with your subscribers on a regular basis is something worth doing and doing well …and of course the expert still agree.  

Today, we'll focus on developing your opt-in email list and how you can use it to encourage subscriptions and hopefully increase sales.

Blogging is a Mistake?

Recently I've been following the buzz that Ken Evoy has generated with the article he sent out called:

"Why Blogging Is A Massive Mistake".

Just the title is enough to raise an eyebrow.

I don't think blogging is a mistake and I'm sure the millions of bloggers out there would agree.

If you read Ken's article, he makes some interesting points, but they are all debatable.

For example let's look at the 3 major flaws Ken points out with Blogging… More… »

Comment Kahuna — Good Blogging Tool?

I think so; it’s the spammers and the blog bullies that are bad.

As I was reading Dan Thies' comments on 'Comment Kahuna', it got me to thinking about this tool, which I do use on occasion …and it's free Smile 

By the way, I just want to also say that I really like Dan Thies and I hang on his every word, in my opinion he's one of the best SEO guys around, and I love his "SEO Fast Start Guide", amazingly enough it's still free and if you don't have a copy – you're missing out!

Anyway, getting back to Comment Kahuna, I use it mostly because it helps me find relevant blogs that I can not only comment on but it also helps me find out what people are saying and what people are really looking for.  I don't always make comments, occasionally I do but unlike a lot of  'link focused' bloggers, I think that if it's worth my time to make a comment then I should actually try to contribute something, call me crazy!

So I like Comment Kahuna, it helps me find relevant blogs that I can intelligently contribute to. If there are people using it to spam blogs for their own personal gain then it's unfortunate.  Like I think Dan is saying — it's not Comment Kahuna that's bad, it's the people using it inappropriately that are bad.

Yes, Comment Kahuna does look specifically for blogs that use the 'nofollow tag', that may or may not be a bad thing and if your blog isn't using the 'nofollow tag' you are theoretically subject to more spamming, but that's what I have Askismet for and it does a pretty good job of nailing spammy comments.

I'm thinking that if someone takes the time to make a thought provoking useful comment to my blog why not pass them a follow link for their efforts and let Akismet take care of the spammers.

Use PLR Articles to Create a Business

PLR means "Private Label Rights" content.  This is content that someone else has written that you can use on your website, blog, e-book, newsletter, whatever you choose.

If you're doing business online you probably have lots of PLR articles sitting on your hard drive.  If you do have lots of articles sitting around, or even if you don't, you can easily get some, and then you can turn that PLR content into a cash making business for you.

Here's what to do… More… »
