    Google Instant And Negative Keywords - Scam?

    Hmm.. I've not seen any impact on long-tail keywords on one of my sites that gets a few thousand hits per day. I really think most people despise this update and turn it off straight away. For one thing, it centers the results page which I totally hate, its probably the most annoying search...

    Advice on starting from scratch ?

    Let me give you another alternative you might find interesting. I would start an information product business - its the only area growing in the current economic climate. Money, Health and Relationships are the big three mega-niches but you can make money out of any small niche as well. Its...

    Has anybody advertised with the police federations publication?

    I almost got burned by that one a few years back. I don't buy any advertising over the phone unless i've done my research. Also beware of scarcity (limited allocation!) and commitment (are you genuinely interested?) Don't fall for these tactics, get yourself a copy of Influence by Robert...

    Would you open this?

    What about "Do You Need Water?" Yes. Our bodies require at least 10 glasses of water per day or we don't work at our highest productive capacity. The stuff out of the tap isn't very tasty is it? But we've got something for you, if you're interested. We will deliver our water free of charge...

    Link to your competitors?

    Yeah right, i'm really going to put links to competitors on my website. Maybe if i'm reviewing all the services in the area and i happen to do the same thing (and mention this fact) but i would never put that on my website. Maybe links to wikipedia or kiva.org, but not competitors (unless its...

    Have you ever thought that there maybe isn't a market for your product in Rhos? Did you do any market research at all?

    Closing deals

    USPs are useless now in most markets with oversaturation. You need to be a lot more savvy these days and provide a better experience. As the guys said, ask for the sale, call to action! Scarcity is a great motivator. Make sure that you offer a limited period, after that the price goes up /...

    Is there a name for this type of marketing?

    I call it brand based marketing. Its what most small businesses will try and do, stick their company name up in large letters and not talk to the customers needs, objections or frustrations. What jamesmd says is right - unless you are coca cola or already have quite a large market share it can...

    Online Video Production

    All you will end up with most of the time is these super-slick professional videos which end up having a disconnect with the customer (i know that they do with me anyway). With two soft boxes, a camera stand, a background stand and a good camera, its easy to record something. Its what you...

    A question to the Video production & photographers...

    Find a Niche - be as narrow as possible. Here is an example: Video Testimonials. I just saw a company the other day and they provided video testimonials as a service. What was once seen as a small market becomes huge with the internet. And it becomes easier to sell due to the fact that you...
