Political Campaign Yard Signs

Election yard signs are not just cardboard on a stick for your front yard. They are literally reminders of the foundation of American government; what it represents and is all about. When viewed from this perspective, they carry significant weight.

How to Effectively Brand a New T-shirt Company
Thursday, 25 June 2009 07:41

T-Shirt

The t-shirt business is a very saturated one but can become a nice commercial opportunity if you can capitalize on the laziness of the industry. While there are many great online t-shirt companies many succumb to stealing the same idea that others came up with. When trying to effectively brand a new t-shirt business it is imperative to have original ideas, learn from successful competitors, and separate yourself from the pack.

The first way to brand your new t-shirt business is to go after a defined niche. For example you could simply do cartoon animal t-shirts or cartoon clowns. If you want to be general such as humor based t-shirts you must be capable of coming up with hundreds upon hundreds of original ideas. The humor based t-shirt market has many more solid competitors and the competitive keywords are taken by the companies that have been around for years. Coming up with a t-shirt idea is easy. Look for everyday signs, phrases, etc and then change something to make the artwork witty or come up with a funny pun. If you are artistic make up as many creative designs as you can. Something will stick. If you have a screen printer you can print shirts up yourself. If not go to a third party site such as cafepress.com, zazzle.com etc to upload your designs. The downside to this is these third party sites get most of the profit, but if you throw out hundreds and hundreds of designs and promote well you can still have a profitable online t-shirt business.

Can You Tweet Your Way to a Home Sale?
Tuesday, 23 June 2009 21:21
Twitter, the massive micro-blogging platform (140 characters, that's all you get) could be your key to jumping in Google rankings and consequently getting more leads. This social networking site has been derided as merely a vehicle for teens and tweens to let their friends know what they're doing every nine seconds, but has gained quite a following in all demographics. The most notable is the President, Barack Obama, whose Twitter page has over 800,000 followers and ranks second only to the actual Twitter site in a search for "Twitter" on Google.

One of the keys that Twitter has given people who use its services is SEO optimized titles that have had an immediate effect on rankings for the individual or group represented on the page. The simple reorganization of the Twitter page title from "Twitter / anytownrealestate" to "Anytown Real Estate (anytownrealestate) on Twitter" is making a BIG difference in how the page is ranked in Google.

3 Greatest Myths Online
Tuesday, 23 June 2009 12:27
I think that it makes it real easy for us to get frustrated when we set up a web page or we set up a squeeze page and we get 15 subscribers and we maybe make one sale. Then we go a few days and nothing happens.

And sometimes we're even following this plan that's supposed to make us rich tomorrow. The bottom line is that doesn't happen. That's hype. Perhaps you've been bitten by that hype before and that's ok. Recognize that the hype doesn't work and you have to build something solid.

You're not going to get rich quick. There may be a 1 in a million shot that you're going to just stumble on the perfect product with the perfect sales page at the perfect time and something big is going to happen. Unfortunately, even for those people, the 1 in a million shot that something like that possibly might happen, they tend to be one-shot wonders because they never learn the foundations of making something happen. So what happens is they have this one shot, they make $20,000 - $40,000 maybe the first month, and they're never ever able to duplicate it.

Facebook Marketing - Reaching Out Virally Using Facebook Applications
Thursday, 18 June 2009 07:51

 

Facebook

Facebook, a social networking site which has recently shot to stardom on the Internet, is a great channel for marketers to leverage on. As of this writing, it has an Alexa ranking of 7 and a PageRank (PR) of 8. This shows that Facebook is one of the most popular sites, with tons of traffic and potential.

So what makes Facebook became one of the best places to market on the Internet? Facebook is very different from other social networking sites like MySpace or Friendster. One of the major differences is that it is an open platform for application developers to post their applications on it. The best part is that applications can viral easily on Facebook, reaching out to millions of members worldwide.

Initially when I just joined Facebook, I was quite irritated by the amount of "application spams" that I have received from my friends asking me to add the whole list of applications. But after sometime, I actually gave in and added the applications. To my surprise, some of these applications are really very interesting and prompted me to add more so as to explore them.
