While advertising expenditures are undergoing a dynamic change, utilizing expert marketing tactics is more critical than ever: consumer and business spending is at an all time low so EVERY mareting dollar spent must truly 'hit the mark' in order to generate sales AND repeat sales!

According to a new B-to-B Online article Most Marketers Ignore Social Media based on a recent survey far too many marketing executives, which certainly includes SOHO, Entrepreneurs & WebPreneurs, are failing to capitalize on the readily available customer satisfaction/opinion provided via social media!

This tells me two very important aspects of marketing are not being utilized by those that can benefit the most:

1. A business profile that markets and promotes SOHO, Entrepreneur and WebPreneur business on at least the Major Social Networks; and

2. A systematic routine to monitor public and customer opinion/input of business interactions by way of Social Networks.

While the fore mentioned survey polled CMO's and VPs of marketing, any business person - especially independent and/or 'newbies' - can afford to take heed: Social Networks provide a powerful, FREE medium to advertise and market a business as well as a method to gather relatively unbiased customer satisfaction! Using Social Media, such as Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc. can create an air of Expertise for even the most inexperienced business person.

Marketing a business, service or even intellectual property requires more than clever jingles and deep pockets -- quality, consistency and above all, tracking both the positive and negative responses to marketing efforts are top priorities!

Economic recessions, depressions and downturns can make or break a business: utilizing all available, FREE marketing resources is a must for the savvy business person that is determined to 'make it' in this economic climate! Using Social Networking allows EVERY business person the benefit of an Expert Marketing Tactic.

Truth be told, even top wage earning corporate officers are beginning to experience unemployment! Expertise, loyalty and hard work are no longer the guarantees for employment that they once were. In light of such an extended economic down turn those that are seeking a 'hedge' against poverty now include upper management and executives of many corporations that are going out of business.

Now is a very exciting time in which to become an entrepreneur: many of the most famous business persons in America made their millions during economic downturns! Then, too, if you're facing severance and are too young to retire, working for self is an extremely viable option.

Financing for franchise ownership has historicaly been much easier and simpler to secure than ordinary business start ups. To learn how you can benefit from owning a franchise, read this article: Create Employment Opportunities thru Franchise Ownership!

They say all things work together for good, however during times of exacting challenge and general uncertainty the good can be very hard to see. . .

Last year thru a series of unfortunate events I ended up living in an extremely small town -- which I call ItsyBitsyVille! Geographically the town isn't small at all, so there's plenty of area to bumble around and see nature in her inhabited glory. Yet the population is less than 44,000 which is small considering my point of reference is the San Francisco Bay Area! Now, besides being in need of some extensive physical therapy and other urgent medical care, I found myself in the precarious position of needing to generate income without truly being able to 'go to work' -- passive income was the order of the day!

I joined a couple of ad-sharing social sites and during the course of building my online social persona I met the leading network builder for the 6dgr social network! This man recruited nearly 2500 people in less than 6 weeks, which earned him several $1000 paychecks plus a few undisclosed bonuses! Since I have never been able to be 'sold' on anything [shopping has never been a sport for me] I found myself quite incapable of seeing recruitment as something I could do successfully. Nevertheless, I followed some of my mentor's tips and made some snazzy flyers as part of my campaign. I hit all the usual spots: Welfare office, unemployment office, public library, community college, etc. looking to find people that obviously could use some easy money making opportunities. That's when I met Pastor John Edwards!

One day in the public library I saw a gentleman playing chess as I was passing out flyers to young people. It was my thought that the 18 - 25 year old crowd would be eager to make some money social networking because almost all of them were in the library networking online anyway -- nothing could have been further from the truth! Anyway. . . Pastor John asked me what was that I had and after looking at the flyer he stated, "I'm a MLM junkie!" Smiling I said that's good but this isn't MLM which didn't even register with him!

Pastor John has an outgoing, smiling and exceedingly boisterous personality, yet he knows how to approach people in a way that catches their interest which is exactly what I needed to learn! During those first few months Pastor John taught me how to recruit 10 to 15 people a day: park my laptop at all free wi-fi spots, including the library, and simply tell people to sign up to make free money! I was sooooo hesitant to 'tell' people this was a good thing for them, I usually asked them if they networked online and then said they could make money doing so and gave them a flyer! Even when I amped it up a notch my presentation was pitiful compared to what I learned from Pastor John! Just when things were looking promising and we began to approach groups, such as churches and community centers, I began experiencing excruciating lower back pain and extreme limited mobility which led to quite a few trips to the ER. . .

Fortunately Pastor John has continued his search for viable income opportunites. Everyone that knows me is aware that I'm a Certified Health Consultant and Pastor John was already interested in health care products due to having been diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. So, as I began a 4.5 month intense physical therapy program Pastor John has explored and become a champion of Qivana [http://pastorjohn.myqivana.com]. I wrote an article about Qivana as an income opportunity earlier in the year when some friends introduced me to the concept. You can read it here: Your Chance To Own A Piece of the Next Google!

Pastor John has been actually taking the products: a sublingual crystalline powdered total body 'system' enhancer and a small probiotic capsule which addresses the digestive system. I can say without reservation that he is certainly LOOKING much healthier than when he was only taking allopathic medicine (insulin and high blood pressure meds)! The best part of what Pastor John is promoting is the fact that anyone with health problems or loved ones with health problems can benefit from using the products AND joining Qivana: once you recruit just 2 people, you make $200.00!

As Your Expert research, review and recommendation resource for income opportunities, allow me to introduce you to Pastor John Edwards and his Qivana website so that you can order your free sample AND look at the business model for yourself!

Take it from me, when you choose to join Qivana after trying the products, Pastor John is the BEST coach and mentor you can find that will walk you thru the business process with an upbeat and encouraging style! Which is, at the end of the day, All GOOD!

Recently I over heard a friend tell his daughter to 'google' for some information online. Knowing how popular Google is and also knowing how tight the job market is these days, I'm wondering if the average person realizes just how much money they give away when they 'google' or tell someone else to 'google' to find something on the internet.

Search engines are earning $100s of millions of dollars! And most search engines are privately owned either by the founder or the stock holders. What I mean by that is, the users of search engines aren't making any money by doing a 'google' or 'yahoo' search! So what, you might ask? Plenty, I say!

Ad-revenue sharing is quickly becoming one of the simplest and most dependable methods to earn passive income online: social networks, search engines and advertising networks all are paying their members a percentage of the income made from advertising dollars! You don't have to have a website or blog to take advantage of many of these passive income opportunities -- but having a FREE website makes it even simpler to get started building a good online presence as you earn cash!

Currently I use SCOUR on a daily basis for my preliminary searches. If I can't find what I'm looking for with SCOUR then I use Winzy! Each allows me to earn points/credits that are redeemable for either Visa Cash cards or other 'prizes' that I can use! I sometimes use Yahoo search when the information that I get with my paying search engines isn't enough to answer my question. However, once I make sure that I get my piece of the 'search engine pie' it's fair game to look for additional results on a non-paying engine.

So the next time you need to find something online, stop and ask yourself this question: Am I smart enough to use a search engine that's gonna pay ME for searching or am I gonna keep searching and making others rich?!

Do the math, I'm sure you'd rather get 'dollars' for searching, social networking or even advertising your business online!

As always, I've been researching site owner administrative and marketing tools. For the past month I've been using TweetLater as a way to create, store and post most of my important tweets. I've found some outstanding reasons to use TweetLater! The greatest reason is the ability to automate recurring tweets which saves a tremendous amount of time because it eliminates the need to login to Twitter everyday to post routine informative tweets! Now I login to Twitter to post up-to-the-minute WebPreneur/marketing business news and to connect with "Tweeple" that share a common outlook!

TweetLater is a free program that anyone with a Twitter account can use. There is also a paid version with an entire suite of excellent features which are too numerous to mention here. As you know, I specialize in finding free ways for the average person to become successful with making money online, So. . . Once your TweetLater account is created you simply plug in your Twitter account(s) login information and begin creating your tweets for immediate or delayed posting and/or saving as drafts.

The save as draft aspect is perhaps my favorite feature! I truly appreciate saving my more inspired, along with my more redundant tweets as drafts because I can go back later and select the drafts I want to post for the next day or two and schedule them at one time! So far, it appears tweets can be scheduled hours, days, weeks and even months ahead of time! This saves hours of time creating similar tweets while it automates my tweet posting giving me an almost constant presence online via Twitter! As you know, keeping yourself in the public eye is the greatest aspect of building a reputable persona which is the cornerstone of successful marketing!

I have tried a few other auto tweet programs however the user interface, draft storage option and overall ease of use weren't as simple or available as TweetLater's.

Since Twitter is fast becoming THE marketing tool of choice for countless mega-corporations as well as medium to small and home based businesses, creating and maintaining an active Twitter presence is a must! Utilizing effective and dependable auto-tweeting programs is also a must so for my '$0.02' I recommend TweetLater for anyone interested in automating recurring tweets and saving yourself hours of time!

So just why would anyone visit your website or blog out of the blue? Maybe you have purchased some pay per click ad space, or maybe you rank really high on Alexa, but of course as a newbie or maybe as someone on a 'spider web' (smaller than a shoestring) budget you haven't progressed that far yet. What to do?

Join the most successful social network that provides free advertising, Twitter. You might be asking yourself why would I do that? I know I procrastinated about using Twitter for more than a year! That's an entire year of lost revenues and possible life enhancing connections gone forever! However, I'm still in the game cause I've been doing my research and applying my lessons!

One great article on the value of Twitter posted on CNN's online small business section,Tweeting For Profit provides real world scenarios that show how valuable Twitter can be to ANY business! Another useful read Twittertising - The Art of Advertising with Twitter actually gives a step-by-step nitty gritty method for getting started with and using Twitter advantageously!

Then there are the numerous other "Pay-2-Play" social networks, as in YOU get paid to play on the network, such as 6dgr and Viral Networks that actually share ad-revenues with active members WHILE members advertise their businesses!

The economy is no reason to be broke OR short on cash! This is the land of Milk and Honey, so 'connect' and make some ea$y Money!

Every few minutes, ok so maybe it's actually every few hours, more information is erupting that shows how display ads and the old stand by, search ads, is getting more funding than ever. So what, you ask? The 'what' is this: if you have a website or blog and even your own email signature you can make "Money 'Da' Ea$y way" utilizing display ads on your site, blog or email.

Established marketers are planning to spend $65 billion on display ads on their own sites this year. How's that gonna help you, you ask? PLENTY! Their budget for additional online advertising is extremely big, so sharing ad space on your own web real estate can only bring you BIG passive income if your willing to drive traffic to your site. Of course, you are ready to do just that which is why you're reading this article!

First MySpace led the way with MyAds, then Yahoo and now 'Bing' has joined the fray. Bing is a search engine, Microsoft's latest entry into the search engine arena. With a $100 million campaign blitz, Bing is making headway. AND now that Bing has added "Twitter" to its live stream, its popularity is bound to soar!

My recommendation is for you to review your current ad space or create some ad space or place ads in your email signature. You can STILL take advantage of your web real estate and earn fantastic passive income if you haven't already!

WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY TO EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT TOO?

* Posted by Dr. Robin Rushlo on June 4, 2009 at 1:00pm

Dr. Robin Rushlo's blog

We have all heard this saying over the years. According to Wikopedia, this saying means “To have one's cake and eat it too or simply have one's cake and eat it (sometimes eat one's cake and have it too) is the instance of an individual consuming, exhausting, taking advantage of or using up a particular thing and, then, after that thing is gone or no longer reasonably available, still attempting to benefit from or use it.” Generally this is a negative staying. But what if I told you there is a way to consume something and benefit from that same something.

I know it’s hard to believe, but what if there were such a program? Wouldn’t you want to take advantage of it?

Let’s look at all the household items you use every month. Things like laundry soap, fabric softener, glass cleaner, and dish soap. I think it is safe to say that the average family spends from $50.00 to $175.00 a month on these items. So, you ask, how do I get these double benefits just from cleaning my house?

It gets even better. You can also get this benefit for losing weight and even having some snacks.

Dr. Robin, you ask, how can this be? When I buy something the only benefits I get is the enjoyment or weight loss or a clean house. When those products are gone they are gone and so is my the money I spent on them. SO what in the world are you talking about?

Ok here is the answer. The Government and the IRS have stated that if you are an associate, distributor or IBO (independent business owner) for a network marketing company, and that company requires you to purchase a certain amount of product to stay qualified (often referred to as autoship) to receive your commissions, the amount of those purchases is a business expense, even if you use these products yourself.

Even though I have had this verified by several attorneys and tax specialists, as always check with your own attorney or tax expert.

Here’s how it works. If company M says you have to get 70 points (BV, CV, etc) to maintain your position in the company and be eligible for commissions. The cost is $85.00 to obtain those 70 points. Then the $85.00 worth of products that Company M required you to purchase is tax deductable as a business expense. This deduction applies even if you use these products yourself in your own home. If you joined Company M, the benefits would be as follows:

1. Business expense of $85.00 (tax write off)

2. You stay qualified for your commission checks

3. You get use dollars you are currently spending to clean your house, lose weight, or just have some great snacks (redirection of funds, that is no increase in spending) to stay active in Company M.

4. You now have another stream of income (commissions from Company M) and you can potentially make enough in commissions to pay for the products!

This can apply to any number of companies and lots of different products. If you would like more information on how this can work for you, contact me at drblindguy@gmail.com

What are you waiting for? No increase in spending and you get a clean house or to drop off pounds or get some great snacks. Plus you get the tax benefit. Wow what are you waiting for? Start saving money today!
