    The Art of Looking Busy on the Job for Office Workers
    Good for you, for finishing all your work for the day. The boss is running around, just looking for someone to delegate more work to, but he's so distracted by things that if you look busy he may just pass you by. Here are some tips that worked for my friends and I back when I was a corporate cubicle resident.Act cool and keep your eyes focused on whatever you're doing. If you look around the room too much, and aren't concentrating, the boss will figure you've got extra time to do something for him. Keep your eyes focused on something, and look like you're conce

    How To Get Past The Number One Hurdle In Sales
    What is the biggest obstacle to making a sale? Here’s a clue:"Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world."- Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe answer is customer inertia. It’s relatively easy to convince a prospect of the value of your product or service (assuming your product offers a genuine value to customers). Tell your story, give the facts, present the benefits and you’ll soon have your prospect thinking. “This is a good product.” You might even have you prospect thi
    As a publisher and ezine co-op owner, I've been studying ezines and co-ops for some time now, and I've arrived at the following conclusion:

    How much IS too little?

    This morning a well-known internet marketer's ezine was brought to my attention. The ezine is a small one-page affair with an excellent marketing tip. Attractively arranged online, he has strategically placed top, middle, and bottom sponsor ads. His mailing goes out to 150,000+ subscribers who are emailed every other week.

    Out of curiousity, I clicked through to his advertising rates, and here's what I found:

    Top Sponsor ad:
    Total Price: $675.00

    Middle Sponsor ad:
    Total Price: $675.00

    Directly above the weekly feature article:
    Total Price: $360.00

    Bottom Sponsor ad:
    Total Price: $360.00

    There is no option for a solo ad.

    Now you might be saying, "Wow! There's no way in the world I can afford that!" or "Yikes! How could I even dream of charging that much?!"

    The answer is quality content and a heavy dose of personal name branding.

    Brands Might Want To Be Loved, But So Do Consumers
    In this age of on demand access to info and people happily airing their views, it has never been more important for brands to get on with their consumers. Failure to do so can lead to a rapid backlash online. Just ask Dell.Brands might be increasingly keen to turn customers into ‘fans of the brand’, but there is always the risk that the relationship can turn sour if the loyalty is betrayed.P & G spend billions every year trying to build relationships with their marketplace.

    Are Your Employees Goofing Off Or Building Better A Better Team? How Friendly Is Your Office?
    When you come across two of your employees chatting about personal matters, do they look sheepish and quickly scatter, certain that you’d disapprove of how they’re wasting company time? Do you, in fact, become irritated and try and dream up ways to squeeze higher productivity out of your team? Well guess what? That attitude may be diminishing productivity, adding to employee stress, creating an unpleasant office culture and contributing to health problems for your staff. Heresy?

    Make Money With Ebay Part III
    In online auctions you are normally selling to bidders from your own country, and in large countries such as the USA, probably from your own state. A lot depends on what is being sold and what delivery costs, times and customs regulations are. If you can sell e-goods, however, borders are irrelevant. A good way to make money using eBay is deal in electronically transmittable goods such as MySpace software. Look for the ‘in’ thing of the day and sell it, or items associated with it.At one time concert tickets were a good source of income. If you purchased pot

    So imagine placing an ad in an ezine that well read, that sought after...

    Who wouldn't want to advertise inside such a publication if they can afford to?

    Okay, now let's bring this a bit closer to home for the majority of us with more limited funds.

    First off, many growing ezines accept free ads and paid ads from outside sources. It's a good marketing practice in order to grow one's list to the size of this example or head quickly in that direction before it's no longer necessary.

    We "handle" this additional advertising in various fashions, some by designated areas inside the ezine and others send out additional classified mailings.

    So, what IS a fair market value for an average-sized ezine?

    Using the only algebraic formula I walked away with from high school, and the prices in the above example, an ezine with a subscriber base of 5,000 subscribers could e
