There is always noise in the marketplace, but probably never as much as late November and through December. For many business owners, the run up to the holidays is a stark wake up call, when you can feel your marketing messages drowning in a sea of advertising and craziness.
You Are Not Better!
Now listen very carefully, I shall say this only once:
You are not better than anyone else. Your business is not better. Your product is not better. Your service is not better. The quality isn’t better. The knowledge isn’t better. It’s just not better.

Getting Organized: Why Monica Geller would make a great marketer!
A lot of the time it is easy to get the impression that marketing is a very creative and even artsy endeavour. For many, “marketing” conjures up images of advertising agencies with creatives and copywriters and producers and graphic designers and all that stuff.

Webinars are something I have done before on a number of occasions, and they’ve done well for me, all things considered. Well, ok, but I knew I could be doing much better. I have seen people out there increasing their revenue dramatically in that one hour during a webinar, sometimes by 5 and 6 figures and I wanted to do the same.
So, a little over a month ago, I decided it was time to do this webinar thing properly. And the best way to do that? [Read more…]
