LinkedIn.com Tip – Pro-active Networking on LinkedIn.com

LinkedIn.com is a great way to connect online with other business professionals.  On the surface, after first joining, it might seem like LinkedIn doesn’t offer much in the way of communicating with other users – and to a degree, yes, it is not as instant communication gratifying as many of the other social networking sites.

YouTube Over Yahoo? YouBetcha!

Interesting statistic regarding search patterns of internet users – more people are conducting more searches on YouTube than they are on Yahoo!  While YouTube is undeniably a mega-popular site now, this struck me as a fasinating stat.  Let’s be honest, did most of us even know what YouTube was two years ago?  (When I first [...]

What is Twitter – A Brief Introduction

Twitter.com is a fast growing website in the sea of social media websites.  I’ll be honest in that I didn’t pay it too much attention until more recently – always thought of it as instant message type of service were teenagers talk about who they have a crush on or what they ate for breakfast.  [...]

Don't Get Lost in the Hype – Turn to Thrifty Marketing

With no intentions of belittling a legitimate economic situation, let’s not lose sight of all the opportunity that lies before us.  While some industries like real estate and construction have had it pretty tight for the last year or so, a good portion of us have been chugging along with good sales to speak of.  [...]

Put Video to Use

If you have video that has already been created for your business – maybe a television commercial or a demostration video of how to use your product – if you haven’t already posted it online, now is a good time to do so.  There is so many options available to get you video online.  YouTube.com [...]

Search Engine Rankings – A Commitment of Time

Gaining high rankings in the search engines is never an overnight sensation.  It takes time when starting from square one to start seeing results.  There are various criteria that play into gaining a top position in Google, Yahoo or MSN.  While optimization is the most commonly known criteria, time is a lesser known, but equally [...]

Domain Name Renewal Letters – Bogus or Legit

Quick, what’s the answer – who is the registrar for your domain name? Network Solutions? Go Daddy? Register.com? Domain Registry of Timbuktu?
