Share Great tip. Networking isn't about selling your product - it's about building relationships. By connecting others, you're automatically showing your interest in helping to build relationships.

Posted Apr 09, 2008 Is Your Niche Showing? by Roy Primm
Great advice. In this fast paced world, it is important to do things quickly, and stay ahead of your competition. But as you point out, going the extra mile CHEERFULLY can sometimes make all the difference in the world. I always have a much better experience when I deal with happy people.

Posted Apr 09, 2008 Six Steps to Ensuring Your Business Succeeds by Michael Schindler
Thanks for the great acronym. It is up to you to DECIDE what you want to do, and when and if you are willing to make the change. This is a great exercise to do once or twice a year within your business to make sure you are still on the right track.

Posted Apr 09, 2008 Winning the Name Game by Laura Messerschmitt
Great information for the start up business. A number of years ago I owned a photography studio, and we used our city in part of the graphic. As we were growing, we decided to rebrand ourselves, and changed it to Worldwide Imagery. It was amazing. In a short timeframe, we went from being a local studio to one that traveled anywhere - we appeared like a large business. Your name really does matter.

Posted Mar 18, 2008 10 Reasons Why 10 Pages Aren't Enough by Lori Osterberg
It depends on a variety of things, including your niche. I would say 34-37% bookmarking ratio is good, as it's showing you have enough information to keep about 1/3 of your visitors wanting to come back in the future. Keep in mind some people prefer bookmarking - others prefer different methods, such as RSS feeds, or ezine signups. Ultimately, its conversion to clients that matters most.

Yes, I think your blog and your website are connected. Because you build the two to work together - and to market your business - they all count as "one" tool. Congrats on over 100 pages. I know that's one of the most difficult things for a business to do is to keep posting regularly.

Great ideas, things we can all keep in mind when we're out meeting people.
I'll also add part of the fun now is networking online. You can take these same skills, and apply it to online networking sites, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or Biznik. I've met so many people over the last few months; people I know I never would have met if I hadn't found them online.
What a great world we live in!
