The morning light is shinning into your bedroom but you still don’t feel the inclination or desire to get up. You lay there awake. It’s not your concern of commuting that keeps you in bed, or the complete dislike of your boss, as a matter of fact, you are your own boss and you love what you do. Or do you? You embarked on your business venture because there was nothing else in life you could possibly see yourself doing but after almost a year of hard work, continuous networking, piled-up paper work and countless efforts with no real pay off; you find yourself unmotivated and stuck in bed. Why bother getting out of bed? Will it actually make a difference today? You start questioning yourself

A marketing plan is a highly researched, well-written document which details all marketing actions necessary to achieve business objectives. It could be for a product, service, brand or a product line. From time to time, you need to stand back and see if your plan is working, and whether your day to day activities are aligned with it.So let us begin with the basics of writing a marketing plan:1. Title page – This must include the name of your company and the management team which is instrumental in developing strategies.2. Executive summary – This is a quick overview of the main points in your plan. Although the summary comes first, it is best written last. This will ensure that y
In the publicity business, the real trend-setters are the Press Agents. They’re the people who literally "create" news stories.
They’re people like George Evans. His company was hired to take a relatively unknown Vegas lounge singer called Frank Sinatra and try to make him into a star. Evans hired a dozen girls, at $5 each, to jump and scream "Oh Frankie, Oh Frankie" and toss flowers at the stage. They met and practiced in the basement at the Paramount Casino where Sinatra was performing.

Testimonials can make the difference between average marketing and great marketing.Why?Because testimonials are one the strongest forms of proof you can offer to substantiate the claims you make about your product or service.Most business owners don't use testimonials at all. If they do, they settle for average testimonials and don't bother putting in the effort to get great testimonials.So what makes a testimonial average? What makes it great?I'll tell you.An average testimonial is vague, lacks specific results, and hides the identity of the person who gave it.For example, "Your company is really great. You helped me a lot." --John B.Notice how

Most freelance writers who make a living from their work will tell you they are usually doing one of two things. They are either working (on a writing assignment) or looking for work (more writing assignments). That's the only way to keep both the work and the money constantly flowing in so they can pay their bills on time.One way to make it easier to keep new work coming in is to develop a weekly marketing plan. A good day to develop your plan for the week is either Sunday evening (when you're getting ready for your work week), or Monday morning (before you actually start working). It isn't difficult to develop a marketing plan for the week. The key is to do it each and every week.Your

Looking for work is an energy-devouring ordeal, often leading to running in circles and not getting anywhere. A systematic approach can help you focus on your goal, avoid wasting the energy you need to conserve for interviews and employer contacts, and lower your stress level.Some resources you might find helpful include:1. Newspaper classified. Pro: you know that an opening does exist or a company wouldn't spend money to advertise. Con: there may be thousands of applicants for one position. Value depends upon the kind of work you are looking for and the uniqueness of your skills and experience. Certainly worth a weekend check but cannot be exclusively relied upon unless you have your he

So it’s been a while since you’ve played house or made art out of macaroni noodles—that doesn’t mean that you aren’t creative! With effort and continued practice, ANYONE can be creative, and ANYONE can use this creativity to set their company and product apart from their competitors.“Why is creativity so important?”Being creative means continually presenting yourself and your company in new and interesting ways, and enticing customers in a way that your competition can’t duplicate (if you’re good, they’ll try).Creativity is one of the strongest and most valuable traits you can have as a salesperson, because it increases your value within your company and among your custome
Jack Keller, Evan’s West Coast partner explains what happened:
"We hired girls to scream when he sexily rolled a note. The dozen girls we hired to scream an swoon did exactly as we told them. But hundreds more we didn’t hire screamed even louder. Others squealed, howled, kissed his pictures with their lipsticked lips, and kept him a prisoner in his dressing room between shows at the Paramount. It was wild, crazy, completely out of control."
And it continued to be for many years. Sinatr
