It came as a shock to many of you, I know, but as announced just before Christmas, I have decided to move on and focus on my other business projects. Whilst I've loved building this community, and have been thrilled and honoured by the fabulous interaction and sharing of knowledge between you, the members, it's time for me to move on...

Telemarketing

Posted Tue, 02/02/2010 - 15:57 by Trythemon

I knew it would happen - I have started to recieve telemarketing calls on my mobile regarding my website Put Your Foot In It

The bloke on the phone said i was obviously using a cheap template company and was I making any money from it ?. I was slightly bemused - I have just revamped my site and was feeling very proud of it. He said I should think about Harrods and a backstreet kebab shop - my website is closer to the kebab shop than to Harrods.

LinkedIn

Posted Mon, 02/01/2010 - 19:35 by ghost_writer

Does anyone else make use of LinkedIn?

I'm beginning to find it fairly useful. Something that I really enjoy is the lack of hard-sell. Of course there is a bit of it, but for the most part members follow a polite etiquette whereby you build a professional, online relationship with those who may be interested in your services at some point in time, or who may have services of interest to you. When the opportune moment arises you mention your abilities or business that they may find useful.  Members mainly share ideas, discuss and learn from other like-minded professionals.

It's been a long time but I am back

Posted Fri, 01/29/2010 - 13:24 by Trythemon

Hello and apologies for being away for so long and not posting or contributing. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. As some of you know I run my own retail website selling womens shoes.

But I  have been spending all my time on SEO. (Search Engine Optimization)

It seems to be one of those things that everyone has an opinion on and every SEO expert has a different opinion as to how it should be done - and their way is always the best

US and UK business letters

Posted Tue, 01/26/2010 - 09:28 by ghost_writer

You'd think writing a business letter would be pretty much the same globally. Au contraire!

The differences between UK and US seem quite significant.

Initially the UK and US are divided with the return address: in the UK it goes on the right, whereas in the US it can either go on the left or the right.

The recipient's address is left-aligned in both countries (phew, we agree on something!)

What were your biggest marketing lessons in 2009?

Posted Thu, 01/21/2010 - 18:05 by KellyWatson

The new year has got me thinking about all the things I learned in 2009, especially the marketing lessons that I had to learn the hard way (i.e., through experience!)

I've decided my four biggest marketing lessons of 2009 are as follows:

1. Honesty is the best policy, even if it means being negative or controversial.

2. Perfection can be a real time waster.

3. Analytics don’t matter if you don’t learn from them.

4. Keywords matter, but you gotta get ’em right.

The key to good spelling is to be consistent

Posted Tue, 01/19/2010 - 14:56 by Jo Smyth

As a complete pedant when it comes to correct spelling, punctuation and grammar, I am in a quandary since moving home.

Why? Because there seems to be some debate as to the correct spelling of the name of my road and house.

I thought it was Flistridge Cottage, and Flistridge Road, until I saw the road sign which put in an ‘e’ and spelt it ‘Flisteridge’.
