I’ve been working my tuchas off for the past year or so, taking marketing classes, actually doing work and so forth, so I haven’t really been able to contribute much to my Blog.
Working long, long, hours in Orlando for the past 3 months or so, it wasn’t until very recently, I even spent a moment (not asleep) at the hotel. When I did, I was studying, or programming, or something similarly productive.
If you’ve been working with me on the marketing front for any length of time, you’ve noticed I constantly mention how the most effective marketing motivator (for adults) is sex. If you can find a way to squeeze sex into your marketing message, you’ll suddenly find customers. To summarize, "sex sells".
Here’s why…

I’ve been setting up a lot of WordPress blogging sites over the past week or so. Some are for me, some are for clients, etc. But, in my goals to optimize them (boy is WordPress ever configurable!), I’ve noted that I need to change quite a few things to maximize the placement of these pages in the Search Engines.

One of my previous articles has brought up a couple of questions from readers, one of which I’ll answer right now.
The question is “Why are your domain names so long, with all those dashes in them? Should I be doing that as well?” (A domain name is the .com, .net, or .org part of a web site address – aka URL)

I was researching keywords related to blogging, researching a number of products with AdWords ads. In that area, I stumbled across THIS interesting little number…

It’s no secret… I’m a big fan of article marketing. Ever since I learned how to turn this talent into cash for me and my clients, I’ve been singing its praises far and wide.
After years of running an article site using ASP that I wrote from scratch (my development language of choice as the time – as there weren’t many on the market at the time), I decided to start running with one that had more of the features I was looking for already built in, rather than having to develop them all from scratch.

There’s a big trend in consumer products today that merits the attention of every business owner. Understanding how to leverage these principles can improve the profitability of nearly every business model.

We just got back from seeing ICE! at the Gaylord Springs in Kissimmee, Florida (right next to Hollywood, FL – just outside of Orlando, home of Disney World) and man, oh man, have I brought back a ton of real-world lessons on marketing from the big boys. If you can only work out ways to apply but a few of these multi-million dollar tools to normal businesses, you’ll be well on the way to sharing a similar success.
It’s going to take me a little bit to gather my notes and work up all of my thoughts on the lessons I’ve brought back into a cohesive package, so I’m going to drop another little nugget of wisdom on you. This is a simple and fundamental concept any business can apply to their marketing, and every business should.
