They say a picture paints a thousand words and it is certainly true here. What am I on about? Pinterest of course. Pinterest has already surpassed Twitter in the driving traffic game. I know that a lot of my referrals come via my Pinterest site. Now Pinterest is nothing new yet it is becoming increasingly popular with marketers and small business owners. There are many possible reasons for this but the main one in my opinion is it is addictive and fun (ok that is two). But while I have heard that some folk are making a killing, many others are not really using it anywhere near to its full potential. Why? Probably, because apart from doing a bit of random pinning and re-pinning, most people do not really know how to use it. So in this post, I will introduce a product called Pintermunch that I use, and by a friend of mine (Amilie Larson)…
As everyone tries to build thier list, it is more important than ever that we look for targeted leads on line. There are many ways you can do this, one of them being Facebook PPC. These are the small image ads that appear to the right of your Facebook wall. You will only see ads that are of ineterst to you based on your profile, previous activity and things you like. So for example, if I say (on Facebook, that I like Basketball), then anyone who puts up an ad for a basketball related product could in theory get it to show on my page.…
99% of folk approach starting a business online all wrong and here is why. They find a product first.They then choose a niche based on that product and try to promote it to all and sundry hoping that some people will join them. They can and often do have some initial success but that soon tails off and a lot of them then give up; a few lose their shirt. While this is how most people have been trained, it is a pretty flawed process.…
What would you rather have? A big list of 20,000 subscribers that barely open your emails. Very un-responsive. Or, a small list of 150 folk with who you have a great relationship with? Obvious answer right? You see, most people think the money is in the list. They are wrong! The money is in the relationship with their list. A big list is for those with massive egos.…

Social Media has been all the rage for a while now, but recently, one site has seen its popularity skyrocket and emerge from obscurity to almost rival giants such as Twitter and of course Facebook to become one of the biggest social media sites on the Internet. Pinterest has attracted business and individuals alike. The average use is female, within the ages of 25-54 (72 % of all users) and has an annual average salary of $100,000.

Problems with Capture pages? Well, most folk do not know how to make one, so they must rely on ones provided by the opportunity they are in. Or, they have to get one made and that can cost approx $300 for a good one. I remember when I first came online worrying about how on earth I was going to get one. luckily, I have the ability now, to make some great ones.…
Like it or not, Google rule the roost when it comes to the information world. And if you are marketing anything online, you have to know how to play by their rules. They decide what shows up on the search engines. They decide what videos you can or cannot put on YouTube. And they indirectly make you money (while pocketing vast sums for themselves). But all that aside, Google has something called Google Authorship. And it is something that few people seem to use, and more should. So In this post, I will attempt to explain what Google Authorship is, how to set up Google Authorship to get noticed more easily.…
