While I’m certainly no expert, I’ve recently been reading up on POP displays and potentially using them in your brand strategy. You can walk into just about any Walmart, Winn Dixie, or <insert retail store of choice here> and find yourself exposed to what’s called a point of purchase display, whether you realized what you were looking at or not. According to BrandingStrategyInsider.com, a...
This is a guest post courtesy of Alan. He dives pretty comprehensively into the nuts and bolts of something called affiliate marketing. If you’re a blogger or have any experience with the online realms, you may have heard of it and perhaps even dabble in it yourself. I know many a fellow blogger that makes a tidy little side income from affiliate sales. If you’ve never heard of it...
Marketing. UGH. It’s one of those words that has the fascinating effect of causing one’s lip to curl… usually in a combo of fear, dread, and mild distaste. Unfortunately it’s a necessary evil (and doesn’t have to be skeevy either), so let’s talk about how you can do it a wee bit more effectively than you might be doing it right now. Then maybe I’ll go take my own advice. Heh! While the...

I’ve often heard people complain about their situation in life and remarking that they don’t really have a choice about it because of this and that. I totally disagree! Everyone has a choice. People are in their situation because they choose to be. It’s a decision based on their set of values, standards, and desires, mired in the reality of what they are really capable of at the...
OK, so yesterday in part 1, we discussed the first two crucial keys to success in any areas of your life, not just business or copy writing. Those were modeling successful people and gaining control of your time. These next two final keys are mostly relevant to just business for the most part, although I am sure there is a way you can mold the concepts to fit the rest of your life as well if...
As in life, everything you do in your business or sales strategy should have a purpose. Doing anything without an end goal in mind is essentially just spinning your wheels and wasting your time. When you know why you are doing something, suddenly whatever it is you are doing takes on a whole new connotation. There is a REASON behind your actions, and a method to your madness.
