		<description><![CDATA[Websites need SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to succeed. Facebook Fan Pages need fans who become fans by &#8220;Liking&#8221; your Facebook Page if they are to succeed. And once a customer likes your Facebook Page, they are kept informed of updates as you make them. When they then &#8220;like&#8221; a post to your Fan Page, it appears on their and their friend&#8217;s wall. That&#8217;s called social marketing. So how do you go about getting more people to &#8220;Like&#8221; your Fan Page? One great way is to offer something special for those that do. This is a strategy used by the top companies in the world. If it&#8217;s good enough for Coke, Pepsi, Amazon, etc., it&#8217;s good enough for us. But what do you offer? How about a coupon for something of value? A free appetizer with dinner, free oil changes with a car, even a free TV with a home purchase. These type offers incentivize potential customers to both &#8220;Like&#8221; your Fan Page and make a purchase from your business. That&#8217;s like getting a marketing 2-for-1. Orange Cat Productions has a solution that can place a coupon on your Facebook pages today. And for a limited time, you can get the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[You hear the Occupy Wall Street crowd talk about 1 percenters and 99 percenters. That&#8217;s all well and good, but there&#8217;s a number that is far more important to you and me. That number is 5% &#8211; as in the 5% of the people that will actually take an action to improve their position in life. Let&#8217;s face it. That 5% number holds up throughout life, education, business, career, etc. And that 5% will always have more of everything simply because they are more willing to put in the effort to get it. Yes, luck plays a major role in our life&#8217;s journey, but luck seems to shine more on those who are making the effort. So the real question here is &#8211; which group do you belong to? The 5% or the 95%? I have a little test for you to see which group you belong to. And it is important to make the decision because as we move into 2012, I am going to make an even more intensive effort to help the 5% who will put the information, products and services I offer to good use. In the next few days, you will receive an invitation in [...]

		<description><![CDATA[With those word&#8217;s the Star Wars character Yoda put to rest Luke Skywalker&#8217;s doubts in his ability to master the skills required to reach his goals. In the world of marketing your product or service, there is similarly no try &#8211; you either do what it takes &#8211; or you don&#8217;t. Three things you absolutely MUST have in 2012 if you are to thrive and prosper in the new economic reality: Have an up-to-date website. Your business puts meals on your table, a roof over your head and provides all the things you and your family need to thrive in life. Neglecting one of the most essential marketing tools your business has would be a shameful misuse of resources. If your website is over 2 years old, you need to consider an update. We&#8217;ll be talking a lot about that in 2012, but you&#8217;ll have to be a subscriber to our new newsletter to get the very best information. Have a Facebook Fan Page. If you don&#8217;t have a Facebook Fan Page now, you will need one to prosper in 2012 &#8211; no ifs, ands or buts about it. Websites need SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to succeed, Facebook Fan pages [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Memorial Day, everyone. Don&#8217;t forget to take a few minutes today to remember those who&#8217;ve laid down their lives so that we can live free and thank those who serve today. This post originally appeared on Memorial Day in 2009. I thought it would make a great subject again today. &#8220;Are you having enough SALES CONVERSATIONS? If you donâ€™t have all the business or clients that you want, maybe you simply need to have more sales conversations. That was a challenge I laid down to my Marketing Mastermind group last month, and one couple jumped to action with IMMEDIATE results.&#8221; That bit of advice came to me from Bernadette Doyle of ClientMagnets.com. Although Bernadette was talking about direct face-to-face selling of services, I couldn&#8217;t help but think how it applies to what we do. When a local business posts an update to their blog, comments on Facebook or Twitter or sends an email update to their list, they are having a &#8220;sales conversation&#8221; with their market even if they aren&#8217;t overtly selling. That&#8217;s because all of us like to do business with those we know, like and trust. The process of relationship building is helped along each time we [...]
