Internet Marketing - Connecting the Dots…

November 6th, 2010

If you haven’t figured it out by now, marketing on-line is where it’s at.  Very little if anything else compares to the free advertising that can be accomplished through linking your various sites together.

Having a web presence is not required, but it gives one full autonomy over their content and how it is broadcast to the world!  For example, one can have a single or multiple sites and connect each to Facebook, Myspace, and/or Twitter!  There’s many ways to approach your marketing plan and the best part of it is that it is all FREE, if you choose.

Speech-recognition business

July 29th, 2010

A co-worker sent me a link on the speech-recognition business this morning.  What’s interesting is how Nuance has bought up most all of the competition in an effort to snuff out any additional innovation beyond Dragon Naturally Speaking software.  As the article indicates, the biggest player against Nuance is the Microsoft Speech Engine.

The interesting part will be to see who jumps on the bandwagon with Nuance and who will step away for seemingly better innovation and development.  Nuance has become a monopoly, yes, but they are really not the only game in town.  Philips shifted their competitive edge my selling only equipment for speech recognition software, so they were smart by recognizing where the winning game is played.

Nuance’s likely hurdle will be with support.  They are pushing the glowing product of speech recognition software and leveraging advertising and accuracy.  Well, at the end of the day, it comes down to usability and integration.  Take for example the medical industry - sure, Nuance might sell a program that integrates as a dictation system into whatever the clinic or hospital is using, but how integrated is it really and at what cost?

I say we not put all our eggs in one basket.

Creating keyword relevant domain names…

July 4th, 2010

Bizplansuccess.com has a short, but useful article on researching keywords to determine a list that can be used for creating domain names.  The idea is to capitalize on SEO, therefore, Google ranking by making domain names relevant to keywords for a “mini-site” campaign.

It looks like many sites would be created, some will likely not rank as well as others, but then that’s why the article at Bizplansuccess.com is entitled “It’s a Numbers Game…”.

Wealthy Affiliate University has done it again!  They’ve added a couple new features to their membership, which includes a WordPress blog and funnel system.  The blog and funnel system works in conjunction with Aweber, which is an email responder.

The idea is to setup this WordPress site that is pretty much pre-made for you - you can tweak a bit to make it more to your liking - and advertise it to get traffic.  The traffic that comes through has an opportunity to sign-up for a free marketing course - more details are over at BizPlanSuccess.

June 26th, 2010

I recently added a “blog” to direct prospects to the Wealthy Affiliate University for Internet Marketers.  I’ve been a member of WA for almost a year now and the knowledge alone has proven to be many times more valuable than the amount I’m paying for it. Read the rest of this entry »

Amway Global - Member for over 10 years and running…

June 22nd, 2010

Ok.  I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve done little to expand my business with Amway.  Mostly because I am not the type that likes throwing the net out to see how many people I can lure into something under the guise of promises of income and independence.

With that said, I am not here to ask you to look at the Amway IBO (Independent Business Owner) program, but rather I’m inviting you to check out the awesome products that has kept me paying my yearly membership for year after year (So I get my discount!).

By the way, if you’re into energy drinks, you can’t beat Amway’s XS Energy drink line-up!

Bodylastics - Home Gym Exercise Systems

January 20th, 2010

Bodylastics has been the #1 alternative to expensive home gyms & health clubs since 1998. The average person cringes at the thought of spending $500 and up to buy a home gym, or join a healthclub. We understand this! That’s why we went to the drawing board 10 years ago. What we invented was Bodylastics - a workout system that is designed to provide workouts that rival the best and most expensive exercise machines. Read the rest of this entry »
