clipped from www.zimbio.com Article Marketing ~ how to on article marketing Article Marketing… I’m sitting in the hospital room with my wife (see Rant on Jobs post) — my mind is pretty much the same consistency as my primary food staple for the last ten days, Chocolate pudding (I’ve been raiding the hospital frig). I need to be writing articles… submitting my blogs to the social bookmarking sites… and working on my new blog, Midnight Blogger — but I can’t…. I had planned on writing a post today on Article Marketing… so here it is — and chances are, it is better than what I would have written on my own. That’s it for this post on Article Marketing… and I want to thank Jack Humphrey of Social Power Linking for creating Utlity Poster — or this post would not have been written.

Cowboy Joke ~ time to take a break

Now this is funny stuff.

Thought I would take a break from all this working...

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Sex with a Cowboy Prior to her trip to Texas , Buffy (a New Yorker), confided to her co-workers she had three goals for her trip to the Lone Star State; 1. She wanted to taste some real Texas Bar-B-Que . 2. She wanted to take in a bona fide rodeo, and …. 3. She wanted to have sex with a real cowboy. Upon her return, the girls were curious as to how she fared . “Let me tell you, they have a tree down there called a Mesquite and when they slow cook that brisket over that Mesquite, it’s ooooh so good. The taste is unbelievable!” “And I went to a real rodeo.Talk about athletes…! those guys wrestle full grown bulls! They ride horses at a full gallop, then jump off the horses and grab the bull by the horns and throw them to the ground! It is just incredible!” They then asked what they really wanted to know… “Well tell us, did you have sex with a real cowboy?” “Are you kidding?

Current Customer Marketing

Good article on how to market to and keep your current customers.

We do a lot to drive customers to our web site and place of business... but do we do enough to keep them coming back.

Most do not.

Good tips on how to keep your customer coming back and you are out there waiting to serve them.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com How To Lose Your Current Customers, or not! “There’s a fine line between fishing and standing on the bank and looking like an idiot” -Steven Wright It’s a given that every Business must have a marketing strategy in place to generate new customers (advertising, direct mail, yellow pages, internet presence, email campaigns, social marketing, etc). But what about our existing Customers? Do you have a marketing strategy in place to keep the Customers you already have?… or do you just assume that; Why do we lose Customers? What are a few of the reasons you have lost Customers to the Competition? Prices not competitive? You give bad service? Employees ran them off? They think you are a scammer? Maybe your location? Or, I never gave it much thought – do not want to know why. Let’s be honest… doing business with most of us is not like the Customer went to DisneyWorld. With all the advertising noise in the world – how can we expect them to remember us? We can’t – so we need to help them. clipped from www.andrewdaum.com more...

RSS Feeds How To ~ RSS and SEO

This article was written in 2005 -- but it is some great info. Something I never thought of is how we use feedburner and feedblitz to syndicate our feeds -- this means they basically own your feed.

Think about it... all of the sites that syndicate your feed goes through one of these two services.

This is something I'll have to think about changing.

clipped from www.stephanspencer.com RSS and SEO: Implications for Search Marketers A lot of people mistakenly lump blogs and RSS together, but RSS has infinitely more applications beyond just blogs! There are some important tracking and measurement issues to consider when implementing RSS: Some more "gotchas" if you don't set things up right: You should own your feed URL (unless you want to be forever tied to Feedburner or whatever RSS hosting service you are using). Remember the days long ago when people put their earthlink.net email addresses on their business cards? Don't repeat that mistake with RSS feeds. RSS is great for link building. Any SEO worth his/her salt should be making use of RSS as part of a link building strategy, or at least making plans to use it soon. In addition to RSS, there are some other effective blog-related link building strategies, like: Getting onto bloggers' "blogrolls" (the list of their favorite blogs that they post on their site for all to see) www.netconcepts.com/learn/rss.ppt.

Great Advice on how to stay motivated blogging

Ricky John gives some really good tips and ways to stay motivated writing and working your blog... it can be hard sometimes to stay motivated -- I think his tips are dead on target.

Visit his blog for full explanations and the full article.

clipped from www.bloggingmix.com Tips To Stay Motivated In Blogging By Rocky John on Apr 6, 2008 in Blogging Tips Motivation is such a powerful ingredient of successful blogging. A blogger who lacks motivation lacks creativity and persistence. A motivated blogger on the other hand, tends to be more creative, innovative and persistent. According to studies, one of the major reasons why bloggers fail is because of losing interest quickly and giving up at an early stage in their blogging. Failures could have been avoided if they were properly motivated. The question now is, how do you keep yourself motivated to blog? Blogging and Motivation 1. Blog About Something That Interests You 2. Set Your Goals and Objectives 3. Breakdown Your Goals and Objectives 4. Monitor and Recognize Your Progress. Reward Yourself Afterwards. 5. Aim for More Challenging Objectives and Goals. Accept More Tasks and Responsibilities. 6. Find Competitors 7. Break From Your Routine Once in Awhile 8. Experiment and Explore Your Potentials

Pretty good article and comments on Internet Marketing and cross selling.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Cashing Checks ~ and selling $1 Taco’s You can even get a lesson or two about marketing, if you keep your eyes peeled.

Micro Niche Finder

I know this is a review of Micro Niche Finder -- but there is also some very good information on writing articles in this post.

clipped from www.andrewdaum.com Micro Niche Finder ~ Review Micro Niche Finder This is one tool every serious blogger needs to have in their toolbox. I don’t give many product reviews on this blog… I do have affiliate links scattered around — over on the right hand side, a few 125 x 125 images that promote what I feel are pretty good products. Some I’ve used — some I have not. Above the 125’s there is an image promoting Entrecard — a good way to drive some extra traffic to your site. Jack Humphrey has a new "Special Report" at Social Power Linking on using Entrecard — the "ins and outs" if you will on how to maximize your traffic using Entrecard. While doing my "due diligence"… I asked a few Bloggers to share with me (an unofficial survey of sorts), what was the number one problem or top challenge they had with blogging. Micro Niche Finder is not a blogging tool. So what does all this have to do with the #1 blogging challenge I was talking about? Everything — stay with me. Micro Niche Finder video.
