How Much of My Marketing Budget Should Go Towards Online Marketing?
Mar 3rd
Marketing today isn’t what it used to be. As a matter of fact, online marketing has taken over in many different industries. Advertising in general is one of those industries. To understand this, take a look at the phone book. How many of you actually use on? Most people go right to Google or some other source and look up information.
I am not saying that you should have your business in the phone book, or ignore offline marketing methods completely. That would be crazy. Just because you have a ton of people moving towards the internet doesn’t mean you want More >
Consulting and Coaching Service Trials

As I have a couple of consulting projects winding down, I have decided to put out a new promotion. For the next 2 clients to become paying coaching customers, I will waive the $200 fee and allow you to pay just $70 for the first month.

During my research for popular search terms, I found that “marketing plan template” was on the rise. I decided to take advantage by writing a post about it. The research that provided this data was performed using Google Insights, which is a tool that I use regularly. Using this along with Google Trends, and you have yourself an excellent tool for finding out what hot topics will bring your blog some traffic.

Drive Major Traffic to Your Blog With a “First to Comment” Contest
Jun 14th
So you all know that you can make some great traffic gains with contests. I have with a recent contest to win free advertising here on my blog (which is still open until June 27th, 2010 by the way). You can be all sorts of creative to get traffic and commentators on your blog. But what if you wanted a flood of comments?
I thought of this while thinking about how some of my posts get lots of comments, and some get just a few. My idea is to promote the blog at some point with a “first to comment” contest. How More >
“Dropped by to Say Hi” Marketing and Other Cool Tricks
May 26th
Non-obtrusive marketing is the best kind because it allows you to get your brand in front of people who use social networks. The cool thing is that it doesn’t turn them off because of the way you do it. A prime example would be MySpace. I often use MySpace and I like to comment on other profiles. But who says that my comments have to be bland?
See to the left this graphic that I designed today for my social network marketing efforts. This was designed so that I can actually stop by a MySpace profile and say hi to the More >

Blogging Timelines for Different Bloggers
May 20th
2010 is a tough time for many writers who wish to become successful bloggers. The handful of mega-successful bloggers out there have gotten there after working hard for long periods of time. But do you know how long it took for each one to make enough money to quit their jobs and work on their blogs full time?
Timelines
The time it takes an individual to make his/her blog a hit varies from blogger to blogger. There is no universal goal for making money, and each blog owner contributes a certain amount of time writing, networking, and marketing. This results in the More >

Reviving Old Posts: How to Get Comments, and Make Money From Old Articles
Jun 2nd
Posted by Brandon Connell in Blogs

Reviving old posts is something you should think about after your blog starts getting some good traffic and commentators. But how to go about that is a question among many bloggers. I would like to share a few tips that I have figured out along the way. Keep in mind that these tips will only work if you actually put them to use. I find that blog beginners who are not yet serious attempt to do some of the advice they receive, but not all. What happens then is that the expected results do not happen and they are clueless More >
