    Your Full Value: Do Your Customers Know It?
    Do your customers (and potential customers) know the full value you bring to the table?   Before you automatically answer, “Of course, they do!”, consider this:   I was at a nail appointment recently and my nail technician mentioned that she had just put her father’s house on the market through a local REALTOR and had received an offer w
    I’m sure you’ve come across the term viral marketing at some point. This is an absolutely explosive concept that every Internet marketer needs to harness and utilize.

    A solid definition of viral marketing is this:

    A form of advertisement that propagates itself by encouraging people, either passively or actively, to pass along a marketing message to others they come into contact with.

    One of the most common and easily grasped examples of viral marketing is Hotmail.com. All outgoing messages sent from the Hotmail servers include a brief promotional tagline that invites the reader to acquire their own Hotmail account at no cost. Many thousands of people are advertising for this company on a daily basis by the simple act of emailing their friends and family.

    Naturally, once someone registers their free email account, they can be marketed to on a regular basis through on-site advertisements, upsells, and mailing list solicitations. MSN is building an enormous profit funnel with Hotmail as their free front end; and more impressively, they are doing it primarily through a massive viral advertising campaign.

    But you don’t have to be a multi-billion dollar company to exploit the potential of viral marketing. In fact, all you need is an attractive digital product that can be given away for free.

    For example you could create a simple e-book and make it available as a free download that includes giveaway rights. You could then actively encourage folks who access this e-book to just give it away as an incentive for people to join their mailing list or sign-up for their business opportunity.

    Of course the book would include a couple of links to your primary business website, and could also be full of your favorite affiliate links. As people give their free copy away in an effort to build their opt-in list, they are also providing you with loads of exposure.

    The Play Dough Plea
    I was attending my first meeting with a new client. The meeting started well enough with pleasantries but then, unexpectedly, things got rough. One of the SMEs looked directly at me and, in a condescending manner, with his best haughty look, challengingly asked, “You aren’t going to make us play with Play Dough huh, are you?”The comme

    Finding A Business For Sale That's A Deal - May Not Be Easy!
    A few years ago, I thought that finding a small business that was close to bankruptcy, or in receivership or a retiring family business would be a perfect acquisition. The problem is, how do you identify a business that is in one of those circumstances? I did a lot of research and this is what I discovered.Bankruptcy & receiverships -

    Your Financial Planning Clients May Hold the Key to Free Publicity
    Every reporter, from the cub at the small town paper to the high-paid anchor on 60 Minutes, dreams of finding a lead to that news story that everyone will want to read.Any marketing-minded financial planner will start to do the same if they are serious about getting free publicity through the media.See, the media has a pretty g

    You could easily create your own digital product and follow this example. Or, you could just buy re-brand rights to an existing product and create the same effect.

    Re-brand rights allow you to replace the links in an e-book or other digital product with your own links. You can then give the product away, and encourage others to do the same.

    By allowing other marketers to give away your original or re-branded product in their promotions, you will be launching your own viral ad campaign. This is how people who never progress beyond the free front end of your profit funnel can still be of tremendous benefit to you.

    If you haven’t already started exploring the possibilities of viral marketing, do so now! It only takes a little work to set something like this up, and the rewards can be truly amazing.
