•3 Ways To Waste Money With Pay-Per-Click
A successful Pay-Per-Click campaign is an Internet marketer’s dream. I know people who swear by Pay Per Click and others who have horror stories to tell, like the marketer who was charged more than $7600 on his credit card for his Pay-Per-Click marketing … and he didn’t make a single sale! I’m not going to tell you his name because I don’t want to embarrass him, but it was a colossal disaster.
That’s why a lot of marketers are scared. They’ve heard the stories about high click-through rates...

Here’s a challenge for you: For the next week document what you do online and how much time you spend doing it. The outcome may surprise you. The fact is that many online marketers fritter away more time online than they spend working on their businesses.
It’s tempting. It’s time consuming. It’s like tossing money to the wind.

•Dui Attorney Business Building
Two weeks ago, I sat down to lunch with Julie, my attorney and friend who just happens to work almost exclusively with DUI cases. Figuring that if anyone would help me she would so I took the time to ask her about how she looks at DUI attorney business building and what techniques she would like to see more people use. After some jokes about whether I was looking to steal away her business, she shrugged and started talking. There are plenty of good business building tips out there for young...
•Insurance Marketing Tips
Anything can be marketed effectively, and the basic principles of marketing remain the same, no matter what's being sold: You focus on what the benefit is to the person who's buying the product, you emphasize the points of differentiation between your product and the others in your market segment, and then close with the pitch.
We're going to make an example out of insurance marketing here to illustrate the point. The reason for insurance marketing is because everyone needs insurance, and the...

•Landscape Design Marketing
Did it ever occur to you that landscape design marketing was something that was essential to your business as are a good aesthetic sense and a knowledge of horticulture? Chances are, if you are someone who puts a lot of time and love into their work, you've never really thought about why you need to think about marketing. Shouldn't your work speak for itself? Shouldn't people be able to look at your design and figure out why your work is the best? The problem is, the answer is a most emphatic...
•Making Millions With Continuity Marketing
Let’s talk today about continuity marketing. Continuity marketing is when your customer commits to buying a series of items over a period of time. It’s a win-win arrangement for the buyer and the seller. Customers can receive products they want on an automatic basis without the hassle of reordering them, and you build a growing list of repeat buyers.
Many of us have purchased merchandise this way. Health and beauty products are successfully marketed on an auto-ship basis. Gourmet food...
•Marketing For Physicians
Marketing For Physicians
A doctor and his practice need advertisement just like any other business. The internet is a great resource for marketing for physicians. In an age of technology and electronic communication, a doctor’s own web site is an ideal way to reach thousands, if not millions, of potential patients. In order to optimize a doctor’s medical practice, advertising on the World Wide Web seems essential in today’s society.
I, personally, surf the internet several times a day,...
•Marketing Tips For Small Law Firms
After a number of years of watching law firms fail and succeed, it is easy to see that there are definitely some do's and don't's that come with this business. There are a lot of jokes about lawyers being cutthroat in the courtroom, but what so many lawyers aren't aware of is how early this needs to start. If you are a small firm, I believe that you need to hustle twice as hard to get somewhere as the firms that are larger, but you'll find that you also have quite a few advantages as well. When...
•Overcoming a Scarcity Mindset
If you really want to succeed in Internet marketing, you’ll need to operate from a mindset of abundance not scarcity. The difference between whiners and winners is that whiners blame everything and everyone but themselves for their shortfalls. Winners, on the other hand, focus on what they already have and see mistakes as important learning experiences they need to learn from in order to succeed.
Have you ever known anyone who operates from a scarcity mindset? These people seem to be running...
•Personal Injury Attorney Business Building
My friend Chris tells me that no one ever really wants to talk to an attorney until it's necessary, and I suppose he's right. I hadn't seen him in almost two months, and here I was, asking for his advice when it came to personal injury attorney business building. He's one of the best in the business, and was happy to hear me say so, so he offered to clue me in on a few different things.
The first thing that Chris told me was that even if they aren't thinking about you until they need you, that...
•Plastic Surgery Marketing Services For Physicians
I'll admit it, when it comes to looks, I'm a little vain, so things always get a little bit heated when I end up having dinner with my good friend Carter, who has a tidy little plastic surgery practice downtown. He honestly believes that I could use a stronger chin, and when he says that, I have to respond that he needs to find better ways to look up customers. So the other night we happened to be at a sushi place near the river and I told him again that there have to be better ways to get...
•Raining Cash In A Crazy Niche
I hear it over and over again, “David, I’d love to be an Internet marketer, but I have no clue where to begin.” The problem that a lot of IM wannabes face is that they think too hard. They want to come up with the next big thing when they don’t have to. If you want to find a product that will make you a ton of cash, think like a child and see the world around you from the ground up.
When I was a kid, I loved parties…and the extra touches like balloons, prizes, and confetti made them all the...

•Using Social Media For Your Chiropractic Practice
I was feeling pretty sore the other day and on the recommendation of my friend, I ended up looking into the services of her chiropractor. Diane introduced me to Gavin, who was just a few years older than me and has an impressive amount of credentials on his wall. We got a lot of my problems taken care of that session, but we agreed that I would come back later for a second check-up and consultation as well. When I returned, I definitely had a few questions for Gavin.
“So I noticed that your...
•Using Social Media For Your Insurance Business
If you're a 21st century insurance agent and you haven't yet been considering using social media for your insurance business, its growth and high profits, then I’ve just got to try to get you to rethink the way that you're doing things. Yes, I know--you've been out there networking, shaking hands and getting to know people and giving your business cards to the guys who do the YMCA racquetball thing with you, the nice gals there at the hair stylist's, and the newly moved-in people who just...
•Using Social Media For Your Law Practice
When you think about the law and the profession of lawyers, there is a good chance that the idea of using social media for your law practice is simply not something that crosses your mind. Lawyers have been around forever and if people need you, they'll find you, right? The truth is, that's pretty much wrong, as I had cause to learn when I met my friend Cassidy for lunch. Cassidy's one of the busiest personal injury lawyers in her city, and she's got plenty of wins under her belt. Even with all...
•Using Social Media For Your Physician Practice
No one likes going to see the doctor, but when the doctor in question is my friend Thomas, you almost want to make an exception. Thomas and I have been friends for ages, and you couldn't meet a nicer guy. We happened to be at an early barbecue not so very long ago when we ended up, as we often do, on the top of self-promotion, what you can do for yourself, what you shouldn't, and how the internet has changed everything.
“You're lucky,” I said, not without a bit of envy. “I mean, people are...

•Why You Should Hire A Real Web Developer And Not Just Some Guy’s Cousin
The mistake that many online entrepreneurs make is that they cut corners when it comes to their web design. Your website is the “face of your company,” and you should not trust its presentation to just anyone. The next time someone says to you, “My cousin did my website and he can do a good job for you,” just say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” The teenage kid three doors down calls himself a webmaster. That doesn’t mean you should trust him with your livelihood. You should treat your website design...
