Atricle Dump - Flyers At Doorsteps Could Signal A Swooping Internet
In designing an environment for the effective performance of individuals working together in groups, a manager’s most essential task is to see that everyone understands the groups purposes and objectives and its method of attaining them. If group effort is to be effective, people must know what they are expected to accomplish. This is a function of

There are many that plan to start a business that do not realize the many costs and heartaches that are wrapped into the business’s foundation. Yet, you can avoid many of the pitfalls of a business by simply taking preventative measures ahead of time. There is nothing like owning your own business, working for yourself, and making your own money.
You start becoming a more acute observer of trends, how long they last, and you know, to your core, that no trend lasts forever.
I was a part of the early vanguard in telemarketing. A major shift was occurring in America, from transportation, which was becoming more costly because of spiking oil prices, to communication, to substitutes for expensive travel.
And the phone was a suitable substitute. I promoted this idea across the country, people caught on, and suddenly A T & T and other giants were investing millions promoting this “new tool,” selling by phone.
It boomed, so much in fact, that it precipitated countermeasures, and nearly its own demise. Too many calls were made, especially to residences, resulting in the Do Not Call Registry and other limiting legislation.
The next big thing has been the Internet. And like telemarketing, it’s not going away anytime soon, but it may have seen its heyday. Fundamentally, the web has squeezed the profits of the brick and mortar world, making everything from auto insurance to backpacks and used books less costly.
It has enabled millions upon millions of businesses to have electronic brochures, and I suppose a few trees have been spared by that and by the advent of email. Certain phenomena, such as online dating, have made it possible for people to beat the odds, and find a match.

With election season here, raising the minimum wage is a hot topic. This got me to thinking about freelance writers – severely underpaid professionals, in my humble opinion.Freelance writing is a profession where competition is fierce – so much so that many of us work for far below the minimum wage. So, I want to propose a minimum pay sca

James had an original concept and he needed an investor. He had a compelling business idea that was a sure winner with the right financial backing. James painted a great picture of the vision he had for his business, but there was just one problem: James wanted to be a businessman, when he needed to be an artist.They say that a picture is w

For a period of three or four years I’ve noticed a steep reduction in the number of unsolicited brochures I’ve received in the mail, especially promoting seminars. One of the only exceptions has been in the area of mortgage refinancing, where solicitations have proliferated because of low rates.
But now, there is a resurgence of direct mail marketing, door hangers, and business card and brochure drop-offs. Compared to the Internet, these methods seem primitive, but they’re coming back, big time.
Why?
They actually work!
Literally, they put your story, your offer, the look and feel of you and your business, into people’s hands. It’s very difficult to NOT look at promotional materials that reach you this way.
Most of the unsolicited email I get is spam-clicked into oblivion without a look. Pop-up ads are nearly a thing of the past, and I’ve become fast at pulling the trigger to close ad boxes at the online newspapers I read.
So, the real thing, something you can touch and feel, is making a comeback.
I see it as a signal that businesspeople are tired of throwing promotional dollars down the black hole known as the Internet.
We’ll see if I’m ahead of the curve on this trend!
