I don't like article marketing per say! Strange statement for someone that writes blog posts for three different blogs. You don't have to write articles and post them to article sites to be doing article marketing. Really? Although if you write a good blog post I do suggest that you post the article to some article directory sites.

If you are trying to build your business then email marketing is a must 'to-do' thing. Yes, you can market on social networks, safelist, rotators, etc. but remember it takes more than one time for someone to see your message before they are apt to buy. Having a list of potential customers is an absolute must. (My opinion and some other's opinion.)

Content! Content! Content!
What could be more important?
Your content has to bring your reader to a state of total focus on what you are saying. Otherwise, they will just glance or read the first words and move on. You don't want this to happen. You want your reader to get so caught-up in what you are saying that they will not even think about clicking to somewhere else.

Most of us that have been in business for a period of time understand the importance of email marketing and how to use it properly. You have probably heard the saying, "The money is in the list." Well, actually the saying should be 'The money is in the right list.'

Writing articles, ads, blog post or whatever takes some knowledge of the use of good grammar or at least it should.

Believe it or not there is no "I" in team. A team is made up of a leader that strives to get other individuals to accomplish a common goal. Any one individual can accomplish a goal depending on what it is. Leaders are not born a leader. It takes time to develop leadership skills. A leader is only a leader if a team decides that person is a leader. Interesting thought, don't you think?

A lot of times in our life we desperately need something or someone to help us move forward. The same can be said of those of us that own our own business. We just need a little boost.
