How to give your new visitors a treat they won't forget!
"Hi Enstine, Thanks for the great tips and for sharing them with the BizSugar community. I think the idea of letting people learn more about you right up front is key. No one likes to read posts and wonder about the author. Introducing yourself increases trust because you are willing to stand behind what you've written. You are putting a name and a face to your brand."2013 Affiliate Marketing Opportunities Within Major Trends
"Hi Geno, Great overview of current digital trends not just for affiliate marketing but for all online marketing these days. I'm wondering whether you feel these trends determine the success of some products over others. (That is, will some products work better than others given these trends?) Or is it just a matter of what channels affiliate marketers are likely to find the most effective given these trends? Thanks for participating with the BizSugar community.

"Hi Marshall, Fantastic post about unusual approaches to marketing. I guess my favorite would be turning customers into your PR army. This is essentially the power of word of mouth and I think it is generally still underrated. The nice thing about this approach is that it allows you to accomplish two things at once. While focusing on the quality of your product, you are also engaging in marketing, because improving the satisfaction your customers feel should make them want to tell others about you."How SEO Platforms Can Benefit Your Business

The Conference Hustle
"Hi Jenny, Thanks for sharing your perspective on these events. I think it's helpful even for those who don't regularly attend. I know some people who've done work covering these kinds of events for trade publications, and I suspect that might involve another kind of hustling, trying to corner people after events and between sessions for interviews to come away with a handful of posts on important trends. My suspicion is that there are many uses you can get out of such events, but maybe the most important thing is information. Appreciate you sharing this with the BizSugar community. "
