New “Secret Weapon”

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

A marketing and specialist business product distribution company has just released a bespoke internet marketing package designed to help small business owners meet the challenges of new media marketing.

In a recent interview, MD and Marketing Consultant Bill Knight said,

“Every small business owner knows only too well that a well planned marketing strategy will keep them in profit regardless of the ups and downs of the economy.

With the trend now increasingly in favour of online advertising, simply due to the huge volume of online shoppers, many business owners who are trying to promote their products and services online are obviously facing a few problems.

Not least is the problem of e-confusion caused by sheer information overload.

The burning questions are, should small business owners focus all their efforts and resources on pay-per-click advertising or have a few banner ads circulating in cyberspace too? And where does social network marketing fit into their strategy?

It can’t be ignored. There are millions of potential customers frequenting the social sites like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, not to mention LinkedIn, Bebo, Hi5 and Friendster. And every dedicated businessman and woman worth their weight in salt knows that you have to ply your trade where the masses gather”.

Success in Business

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Get the knowledge, attitudes, values, and actions for starting and running a successful small business with the new book, ‘DNA of the Young Entrepreneur.’

Part philosophy, personal experience, and practical advice from author Sean McCauley show how he went from poverty to wealth. Still in his late 30s, McCauley has started many businesses and is worth millions of dollars.

Successful businessmen and women aren’t born with a certain propensity to success. Anyone, even if they’re young, can earn their way to wealth. The way to wealth starts personally, with the ideas and habits we all hold.

Most narrowly define wealth as being able to buy things: a luxury home, nice cars, and expensive vacations. But wealth is more than a quest for materialism. It doesn’t require giving up other important aspects of life. In fact, wealth is a way of living life that goes beyond money, to the foundation of real success.

Now in his late 30s, Sean has become successful in business several times over. He has been named the SBA’s Young Entrepreneur of the year, and recognized as the most successful under 40 in San Francisco. His self-awareness and analytical abilities are clearly described so others can follow.
