    Are Managerial Controls Pulling Down Your Growth
    Managing a new and growing business requires a vision far beyond what the average manager can even begin to comprehend or understand. This vision may be the ingredient which separates a leader from a manager.As the business grows, the top manager or the founder/owners turn control freaks as they believe they need to nurture the business at each step of its infantile existence step lest it falls and fails. They turn perfectionists and involve in every aspect of business believing that they are the best and most capable to run the business. This effectively kills emergence of new leadership, throttling the business growth.Controls are also camouflaged as systems orientation. Too much control spell the death of dynamic decision making and ultimately blunting the competitive edge and operational efficiencies.
    We live in an advertiser's world. Logos, slogans, shock treatment and bug spray tell the stories of our youth and our future. We get bigger, older, uglier and more powerful every day if we can only force out the message that we have something to offer. What does it take to climb to the top? Hard work? Luck?

    Let's forget all the past articles written about corruption with this horror or that. Let's kill the bad taste about the persuaders utilizing viral marketing techniques and spam advertising just to sell you some form of bogus Viagra or "legal" performance enhancing drug that's most likely a placebo anyways. Let’s ignore all the rumors and gossip about the Google Adsense and PPC marketing campaigns.

    So what’s left?

    Back in the day, we called it DIY (Do It Yourself.) There was a magazine called Maximum Rock and Roll. It was the wannabe rock star’s dream come true. To tell the truth, I am not sure if it exists any more. But none the less, it was the DIY approach to touring as a band, going gig to gig, cross country and town to town that helped many aspiring musicians find careers. The DIY system served as the needed push for the poor musician trying to catch a bone.

    So what I am getting at here is this:
    1. Advertising can cost a lot.
    2. There are no guarantees.
    3. It can be very stressful – Because it costs a lot and may not work.

    And like the rock star, most advertising campaigns fail.

    A few years ago when my company was in its infancy, I spent over $10,000 with a local press company on an ad campaign. No only did it fail, but to my disappointment I received absolutely zero, nothing, nada, zilch… for my hard earned dollar. And at that time in my career, that was a lot of money.

    I tell you, that was the last time I would give it up to a high risk campaign that relied on someone else’s production. So I started to study Internet based marketing. And what I propose is a simple DIY guide to Internet based marketing that has proven to be successful for next to nothing out of the pocket. Now this system is meant for the small office with little of no funds for advertising, but can also supplement a conventional marketing campaign with the press or other media formats.

    Using Forums For Free Advertising
    Forums are groups of people who are gathered around a specific topic. There are forums for online marketing, affiliate marketing, mlm, and small biz. Do a google search to find them.The majority of people who join these forums do so to be able to discuss the topics and get new ideas and maybe meet new contacts.Some forums are monitored by moderators who have the authority to delete non-conforming messages, or even ban people all together. Some forums are not monitored at all, and are nothing more than people placing ads. So an active,monitored forum is where you want to advertise. However, your product or service MUST be related to the topic or you will labeled as a "spammer" and banned.Also,do not simply post ads. The most effective method is to participate in the forum introduce yourself if the fo

    Million Dollar Homepage Craze - Taking Pixel Ads to the Next Level
    There is no doubt that the original UK pixel ad website MillionDollarHomepage.com was a great idea and have succeeded, because it is new and had a human story behind it. Many people believe that the new copycat pixel sites being built every day can not replicate its original success. On the other side, many optimists, in contrast,still see and hope it as a opportunity. Some hosting companies are trying to appeal it strongly to the pointless innocent wannabes by promoting hassleless pixel site development and hosting service. And some scam artists are even trying to sell you their "Know how" ebooks about the pixel ads.But unfortunatley the true is, that pixel site needs to be promoted just like any other websites to get traffic, which is the the hardest part of all. It will not get attention anymore by just replic

    Take for instance this website called Valley411.com, it ranks #1 on MSN and Yahoo for Fresno Movies, it ranks high up for Fresno Night Life, Fresno Concerts, Fresno Events and many other phrases for Fresno, the Central Valley and surrounding cities. The site is only a year old and it averages close to 2500 page views each day.

    That seems like quite a bit of traffic for a small regional market like the Central Valley. The best part is that the traffic to the site has grown each month since the sites development. Over 1300 different key words on various search engines found Valley411.com last month and the owners spent almost nothing on conventional marketing. A small advertisement in Business Street here and there served as a good supplement.

    The Method

    Valley411.com is a website that needs traffic to sell its product, just like any business, store or market. Valley411.com makes its money by selling advertisements. Besides that, Valley411.com is completely free. Free job board, free forum, and free entertainment based news. If you want Business, stick to Business Street or go to BusinessStreetOnline.com. If you want entertainment, go to Valley411.com.

    We have put together a campaign that revolves around content. That is the important thing. The content that we put up is real and the traffic that we get is real traffic from people searching for the content. The method is derived from a simple point to point and news relates to news process that helps advertise the market in general. Sure, you may think that it helps the competition as well, but the main thing is that it helps build a demand. Sounds complex doesn’t it. But in reality it is very simple.

    Online Forums

    I don’t believe there can be too much competition. Competition helps promote the market. If we create the need for our competitors then the need for our market too will grow. So what do I do? I advertise my systems in a reciprocal method on other entertainment based news systems and forums.

    Let’s clarify. I write articles about the market. I utilize free services that exist online in order to promote myself and my sites. I talk about my competition and utilize free forums to discuss topics with interested people. Forums exist on almost any topic and are a great medium to learn from. They also can be utilized to teach people about the services
