Part 2 : Google Adwords MarketingThis is my second article series of Internet Marketing Miracles. Today, we will discuss about Google Adwords Marketing and how it is affecting the whole marketing industry, in general, and the product owners and marketers, in particular.Advertising in Google Adwords has been the most lucrative form of online advertising never seen since the birth of the Internet. It is instantaneous and you could receive sales minutes after you finalized your campaign. Adwords guru, Perry Marshall, calls it as "the fastest crash course on true, real-life, street-level direct marketing".It is the only online advertising mode where you can generate traffic to your website within 10 minutes of campaign, to millions of target

As soon as you make the decision to exhibit at a trade show, you have the opportunity to promote your company’s website, increase your visibility on the Internet, and also use the Internet to sell your products or services. Clients who plan to attend a trade show often want to know the techniques of maximizing their trade show appearance on the Internet. Your trade show exhibit marketing efforts can definitely benefit from increased traffic to your website. By using the Internet you add another dimension to your trade show display before, during and after the trade show.What are the ways the Internet can increase your trade show marketing efforts? Here’s an idea for your website visibility:By promptly posting your trade show attendance on a separate trade sho
Lost or garbled information is a terrible waste. Especially if it's the information you gathered from an interview and must now write into your User Document. Here's how to prevent that waste.
THE SITUATION
You had an interview with a Subject Matter Expert (SME, someone who has the information that you need) for your product. He/she told you all that you needed to know. However, by the time you got to write the material into the User Document, you have forgotten much of what was discussed. Your notes only help a bit. This loss or garbling the information from the SME that you need for your writing is the "Interview-Writing Disconnect."
SOLUTION
The solution is divided into three components: Preparation Before the Interview, Actions During, and Following the Interview.
TIP: If possible, schedule the interview as close to the time that you are going to write that part of the User Document. The longer you wait between the interview and the writing, the more difficult it will be to recall the content. Before the Interview

A reader recently commented that my articles didn't "wow" her.Well, of course not -- my intention is not to impress or dazzle people!My goal is to provide useful information. And useful information can often be "unglamorous" because it is ... well... so utilitarian.For instance, someone recently asked about how best to build a list of contacts for her business.She has started a new business and attends events to build her contact list. However, she finds that most people at these events tend to stick to others they already know.Although she's not a shy person, she found that breaking into these pre-formed groups was difficult.My response is straight-forward:Start with a clear idea of the kinds of c

Mergers, acquisitions, layoffs, reorganizations, change. . . all of these modern-day business phenomenon have had a tremendous impact on the level of trust in most organizations. Gone is the era of lifetime employment. Today, organizations consider themselves lucky to retain an employee for five years. And, when we analyze the reasons for this change of landscape, most of the data points to one issue: employees don’t trust employers and employers don’t trust employees.Yet, organizations don’t build trust. Managers, supervisors, and organizational leaders who work with employees on a day-to-day basis are in the best position to develop trusting relationships on behalf of the organization. They represent the organization to the employees. Never before has the issue of

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is an important piece to the internet marketing puzzle. A search in Google will show 128 million results which goes to show the importance placed by many in this area. All these can be quite hard to fathom for someone who is totally new to SEO and its many concepts such as white hats and black hats.Instead of diving into the more comprehensive and complicated part of SEO which even for me is an ongoing learning process, I would like to share the simple basic steps I've learnt so far along the way. Just by doing this, I believe you would be so much better off than millions of bloggers who doesn't, thus dramatically improving the search engine driven traffic to your blog or site.Kin
* Your guiding principle is to Be Prepared. You should have read what you can about the product, its environment, who will use it, and what they (usually) want to do with the product.
Know as much as you can before the interview. The more you know about the product, the better off you will be in the interview.
* Specify the goals of the interview. Share this information with the SME. Do this in an e-mail before the interview.
* Ask the SME if you can (audio; video is too obtrusive) record the interview. Get a recorder (preferably a digital recorder) and make sure it is set up to function properly during the interview.
* Gather any other materials you will need for the interview.
* Set up your recorder, etc quickly when the meeting begins.
* (You might want to practice taking legible notes...I sure need to)
