When you can’t think of another thing you could do to promote your site just remember this:
There is always something else you can do to promote your site!
I am going to let readers in on a very big secret known only to our insiders before today. It is one of the most powerful, overlooked marketing methods for Web 2.0.
It all started back when Web 2.0 started. I quickly realized how beneficial it would be for my web presence to get on social sites and begin branding myself. While other marketers were glossing over Web 2.0 as a fad or as a useless tool for marketing, I was digging in and checking out what was behind the curtain.

Lowball Puts You Behind The Eight Ball
Posted on March 26, 2008 | Filed Under Copywriting
Ryan Healy, a talented copywriter whose blog I love reading, recently said that copywriters shouldn’t be cheap, especially when they start out.
It’s a powerful notion, because many beginning copywriters believe that being cheap will get them more business. (There are other ways around this, of course. Knowing how to market yourself is one thing. Focusing on a specialty, a niche, is another. But more on that at another time.)
The bottom line is, if you lowball your rates, you will not get as much business as you think you’ll get. Sure, you will probably get some. But it’s the kind of business you don’t want.
Remember this important rule:

Three Methods to Boost No Traffic into Highway Traffic
Posted on March 26, 2008 | Filed Under Traffic Generation
Creating a blog from scratch is difficult and will not
result in immediate waves of traffic. The beginning stages
are frustrating and cause many site owners to quit before
their blog got a chance to blossom. How can you ensure your
blog matures and draws in the traffic you need to make a
profit? There are three methods that can be used repeatedly
to enhance site traffic…guaranteed to work every time.
The first step and by far the most important is to produce
content over and over again in the form of blog posts and
articles. Continually placing new content on the blog will
keep a fresh flow of information and writing articles will
gain brownie points with the search engines and will
increase traffic. Sites that are not listed in any search
engine can be found in a just a few weeks when articles are
written and submitted to some of the major article
directories. Please do not expect to see a flood of traffic
after writing three articles, realistically you can expect
to write a few hundred before you begin to see the results
you desire. It sounds like a ton of work however, the more
you write the easier it becomes and before long you will be
able to create an article in just a few minutes. Don’t
forget that many article directories have ezine editors
that grab your articles in order to publish in their ezines
which can rocket traffic as well.

Fear Getting in the Way? Try a Passion Prescription
Posted on March 18, 2008 | Filed Under Motivation
by Reggie Odom
Does fear ever immobilize you, or keep you from moving forward?
Passion is a perfect prescription – or antidote – for fear. You will see why as you read on about an intuitive vision consultation I did for a business owner the other day. She came to me because of a chronic problem – she was often frozen by fear that seriously affected her productivity.
She said that sometimes one challenging telephone call she needs to make could “destroy three days” of her life. She also said that she has so many things to do during the week that she feels overwhelmed and it is hard for her to focus her attention on any one thing.
According to her, she developed this pattern as a child in response to her father’s temper. Part of her defense was to try to become invisible. It was interesting that in the vision I had, I didn’t see her in the picture. She had succeeded in becoming invisible – she had become invisible to herself.
What Does Passion Have to Do with All of This?
