Are You a Victim of SEO Trends?
"Now that Google has been unleashing its Panda updates with a vengence, there may be many more people getting caught in this trap... but the truth is that some of these "tricks" can't be avoided. As much as Google keeps saying that quality content and a good user experience will win out, it doesn't always go that way. The proof: there are still many low-quality sites as well as big-corporate ones enjoying some great search exposure.To be successful over the long-term, one really needs to provide good content, but also be in touch with the changing winds of search and Internet usage."Are Big Companies Better Innovators Than Small Ones?
"Great post, but I think this question is like comparing apples to oranges... *Both* kinds of businesses- the big ones and the small ones- can excel at innovation, but the approach taken is usually extremely different. The majority of big businesses innovate through the dedication of an enormous amount of resources. They've also learned a thing or two from the smaller companies as was mentioned in the post.. The real advantage of the small business is that it's owners and employees tend to be more passionate, more dedicated, and much more personally connected to its operation and it's success or failure. In small businesses, people are more likely to express themselves and make the kinds of decisions that can get stifled or unrecognized in a bigger company."It’s Never Too Late to Follow Up
"Good points, Stephanie. I think a lot of this has to do with attitude... If you give over that following up on the relationship is important to you, and that you are still holding all the details of the previous encounter with this person, then most of the time your belated follow-up efforts will be successful. We're all human, and most of us know the difficulties, first-hand of juggling many responsibilities simultaneously. But when you come in expecting to be forgotten and rejected, when you don't value what you have to offer the other or the ensuing relationship that may emerge, then *you* create a failure before you've even started. "It's Time to Ditch StumbleUpon for Pinterest
"The problem with the "it has a role to play" view is that people and businesses end up holding on to way too many social networking accounts. Even where there is some benefit received, you still need to evaluate how much and in what way as well as how much effort/resources are you dedicating to it all. Maybe for some people the changes at StumbleUpon mean it will be time to move on, for others not. "When Your Family is on Vacation — And You’re Not
"I do a lot of work from home, and this is always a challenge. I've found that getting up earlier or trying to get work done at night is the best. That way, I can spend time with my family and enjoy having them there, instead of figuring out ways to keep them from interrupting me. Not to mention, any "work" that actually gets "done" when everyone is around is never the same quality."5 Things We Learned from Running BizSugar
"This post really highlights what it takes to create a successful small business these days- especially when it comes to online initiatives. There's a lot of hardwork, the need for adaptability, many mistakes and tweaking along the way... But if you persevere while keeping both your eyes and ears open to what's happening around you, you'll come out winning. I also liked how that software developer was trained and became a full-time employee. "24 Things to Think About Before Starting A Business
"I second that... I am a very big fan of at least giving *some* thought into what it means to own and operate a business *before* jumping in. Even where the startup investment and overhead are relatively low, time is *also* money, and that's something people tend to overlook. Not to mention, many people (and situations) are just not suitable for business ownership. Adam Gottlieb @ The Frugal Entrepreneur"The Top Secret Formula for Instantly Getting More Facebook Fans
"Great post. It all really boils down to really getting to know your target market. When business owners pay attention to what their customers are doing and saying, and find ways to measure how these people are feeling (such as by conducting surveys), they will always be on the right track towards gaining more followers, likes, and eventually business.
