Strategic Planning Begins With Mission and Vision Statements
A sure-fire way to start the success of your business strategic planning process is to identify the foundation upon which your business was built. Lacking a well defined mission statement and equally communicated vision statement identifying your desired future will make the job a great deal more difficult. Rather like threading a needle and thread without tying a

The simple goal was to find the companies that could benefit from my product. And guess what; most of the websites were just as confusing as mine! So I set a be

IT Specialists: Are Non-Profits a Viable Market?

Yes, it’s back to the 80’s – the clean cut approach to websites and no, it’s not just another fad diet, it’s a complete change in lifestyle as they say on Dr Phil. But this time, it’s my website having a makeover!

Those of you in the business of e-commerce, internet marketing or website building will understand the importance of first impressions of a landing or home page of a website.

Unfortunately, I was reminded the hard way and yes, I was stupid as I certainly should have known better, given my years of experience in marketing. The message really hit home on Saturday morning when a voice on the other end of the phone said “…and what exactly does your company do, I have been to your website but I couldn’t quite understand it.”

Oh dear, my little heart sunk about as low as it can go (well, over a website tragedy that is) and I vowed to remedy the situation first thing Monday morning. As it happened, I couldn’t live with myself by leaving the web-makeover till Monday, so Sunday morning I fired up the laptop and tried to put myself in the seat of a first time visitor to www.smartdames.com. After two minutes I understood exactly what this well intentioned soul destroyer was alluding to and after five I had decided to throw away half of the content on the site.

But first things first, priorities reminded me that I had an urgent task to research some email marketing companies for a promo I was considering, so I spent the next three hours going through a list of companies that my researcher had prepared.

Effective Presentations - How to Structure Your Presentation
To fail to prepare is to prepare to fail. Great presentations require much preparation. A good presentation starts out with introductions and an icebreaker such as a story, interesting statement or fact, joke, quotation, or an activity to get the group warmed up. The introduction also needs an objective, that is, the purpose or goal of the presentation. This not only

Industrial Mining and Mistakes Made
In the United States we have made many mistakes with our industrial mining companies and without the flow of raw materials to market we cost our manufacturing industries billions per year in additional costs to bring these materials to the facilities from far away lands.

Let’s get real here, we are all busy people. How would you feel if you put your mower into the back of your car, drove it to the other side of town to a mower repair shop and found out that they didn’t really repair mowers.

So back to my website, while still having that annoying little inner voice reminding me of the Number One search engine tip ‘content is king’ (does anyone really know what the search engines feed on any more?) and trying to balance this with the KISS principle, I set about to come right back to basics. And do you know what? It was fun, it was easy, it was cleansing. And more importantly, my focus became clearer and clearer the more detritus I eliminated.

But understanding the benefits of niche marketing, and actually making a consistent income from niche marketing are two very different things. While there are a number of elements that make up a successful niche marketing campaign, here are the main ones that are of key importance in obtaining the online income you desire.
