Online Business Ethics
Very simple: Be a source of integrity. Don't be phony, people will know and not come to visit your site again. Even worse, they will post a bad review somewhere on the web and others will not even come to see for themselves. If you don't know about something, don't pretend that you do. Respect your customers, or prospective customers, and offer them something of value. Give good information that will draw your customers' attention and this will help to build trust. It also gives them a reason to stay or come back

What's Your Story (Part 2 in a Series of Yet-to-be-Determined Length)
In part one of this series, we talked about marketing being all about telling stories. As a marketer, I tell my client’s stories to their customers.

DURING AUGUST:

In August, focus on generating more revenue for your business. Since 'Back to School' is a major theme during this month, 'educate' your clients and prospects. You can do this through value packed seminars, teleclasses, infoproducts, and conferences. In addition to providing value, your goal is to show your prospects how you can help them solve their problems.

You can offer a Fall sale for a service or product that is new or old, but make sure your prospects are aware of the increased value of the offer due to the decreased price. Make the offer compelling enough so they will buy before the sale ends.

If you don't have an infoproduct, spend the month of August creating your first one and draft a plan for future infoproducts.

DURING SEPTEMBER:

In September, leave obscurity behind. Gain more recognition for your business through public speaking, networking, and publishing.

Step up your networking activities to gain more visibility for your business. If you are currently only doing your networking offline, add online networking to the mix.

Approach every networking opportunity with the intent to connect with at least three p
