Internet Business is Thriving! What Recession?

Is there a space where the recession isn’t laying waste to every business around?

Is there a land of hope and plenty in this virtual financial dust bowl of the economy?

Yes! It is the land of milk and honey called the Internet.

American Small Business,Where is the Future?

With new tax laws juxtaposed against rising regulatory costs, health care concerns for employees, educational issues and the emerging workforce across the planet,the future of small business in America can seem to be on shaky ground.

Facebook,Social Media And The Real World.

Net Neutrality and Online Marketing

Many people I encounter don’t even know about the subject of Internet Neutrality. And It is a big issue, especially if you are a business owner. Internet neutrality or “Net” Neutrality for short is the subject dealing with how the Internet is shared or used by all.

The basic concept is that the Internet is a public channel available to everyone, business owner, online Marketer and consumer alike to use on an equal footing. This would mean that a large corporation would not get more access or better access or faster service than anyone else.

Only You Can Convert Sales

We do specialize in driving traffic, SEO, social and article networking but only YOU can convert sales.

Over the years I have heard complaints about people spending so much money on marketing and not getting any sales.  The traffic is there, the product is great and they even put the time and effort into blogging and article marketing.  Sometimes they even go the extra mile and actually pay an online marketing company to drive more traffic, yet still the same results.  So these site owners continue to rack their brains as to what could possibly be the cause of such results?  Or should I say, lack of results?

The Mobile Marketing Race is On!

Microsoft is after Apple…Apple is after Google…and Google is going after the world!

His statement was that the Internet wasn’t a technology medium, but a people medium.
