Unique Internet Marketing Stands Out From The Crowd

Written by Joshua Rose


Several years ago, I went whale watching in Bar Harbor, Maine, while on vacation. I remained inrepparttar large, central cabin with my poor seasick infant son when a whale was finally spotted.

The Captain announced, "Whale torepparttar 121230 starboard", and a mini-stampede of about 70 tourists scampered over just in time forrepparttar 121231 briefest of glimpses as it quickly submerged again. Everyone jostled and jockied for position to getrepparttar 121232 perfect camara shot for when that darn whale resurfaced.

But of course, it wasn't going to work out this way. "Whale torepparttar 121233 port side", announcedrepparttar 121234 Captain, andrepparttar 121235 stampede torepparttar 121236 other side literally tippedrepparttar 121237 boat. Naturally,repparttar 121238 whale had disappeared by then as well.

This went on like this -- back and forth -- for about twenty minutes. The whale seemed to be toying with human nature --repparttar 121239 tendency for people to do what everyone else was doing.

And EVERYONE was zigging when they should have been zagging. There were no 'individuals'. They moved as a group in their futile quest to snap off a clear and revealing shot.

Are you moving withrepparttar 121240 crowd onrepparttar 121241 internet, or are you striking out on your own unique path, one more likely to get noticed?

If you observe your own specific internet marketplace, it's very likely you'll find thatrepparttar 121242 vast majority ofrepparttar 121243 'crowd' are doingrepparttar 121244 sames things inrepparttar 121245 same ways -- and they're also gettingrepparttar 121246 same poor results.

This presents a golden opportunity to be noticed by doing things differently.

Successful entrepreneurs, both online and off, are innovators and risk takers. They *experiment*, *evaluate* and *evolve* until they successfully convey that both who they are and what they offer is unique inrepparttar 121247 marketplace, despite allrepparttar 121248 competition.

The Art of Networking

Written by Alvin Apple


Before there were computers andrepparttar Internet, before television and radio, before phones and electricity, business people still had to find ways to promote their businesses. The archaic promotional technique they used is still in practice today. The technique I speak of is networking; probablyrepparttar 121229 oldest, most accepted, and least expensive means of promoting yourself or your business.

But why worry about networking, when modern technology allows us to do all our marketing and promotions without ever speaking to another human being? Because real human interaction is usually a better gauge of how well you are presenting your message, than a marketing survey.

Networking not only helps you stay informed of how individuals feel about what you do, but also allows you to position yourself inrepparttar 121230 marketplace and stay onrepparttar 121231 cutting edge. With networking, you spin a web of tangible relationships and powerful alliances.

However, before you start shmoozing withrepparttar 121232 best of them, you need to learn how to approach people. You can't just walk up to a stranger inrepparttar 121233 food court line and start jabbering about your business. There is an art to networking that starts with learning how to approach people.
