You got it – the “Rate Us” feature wasn’t apparent in the first image. But after installing the simple code (it’s literally a copy and paste) from RatePoint, we can automatically encourage our Social Media Fast Start customers to give us their feedback about the series.
How cool is that???

I’m looking for TCB Removal Services in Stone Mountain, GA. So I try a Google search and get this result:
There’s something very important that you should notice here: TCB Removal Services’ homepage doesn’t appear on the first page results. I’m not trying to pick on them (in fact, some of the reviews of their company [...]
I heard a fascinating question at a recent Meetup* event celebrating Seth Godin’s newest book, Linchpin.

“How do you break through the clutter and get someone to BUY your program.”
She wasn’t talking about Free Marketing [...]
Reaching out to a new colleague today (@coachlaura – a social media trainer) I discovered a very cool, free new cool.
Tungle.me is a free, simple to use but powerful online calendar system. Why would I call it a marketing tool? Because you can embed it into your website and let clients book time with you [...]

The picture below shows pages 16-17 of Inc. Magazine’s May 2010 issue. Though it may be hard for you to see from this image, the top left article on page 17 is titled “A Cash Register That Tweets.” Beneath that headline is my quote about the application, which I originally posted to the magazine’s blog.

There are lots of things you can do with your blog:
The obvious one is to post it to your site and include RSS links so readers can receive new updates automatically.
Another way to distribute it in audio format, like some of the samples we’ve published on iTunes recently.
You can also create video blog entries, like [...]

Surely you’ve heard the expression “Dance as if Nobody’s Watching.” In my case that’s probably good advice. My wife is the dancer in our family – I’m not so graceful.
But I blog pretty well. And I am an active conversationalist. So recently I’ve taken up the topic “What To Do When Nobody Says Anything Meaningful.” [...]
Maybe I’m in denial.
Maybe I just don’t get it.
There are apparently quite a few traditional Internet marketers who might agree on both accounts.
You see, I’ve been getting lots of emails from the same sources lately. Every day, if not more. I suppose I could interpret this to mean that I really, REALLY need what they [...]
“Build Your List. Change the World. Repeat.”
I wish I had come up with that headline. I really, really do.
But it doesn’t belong to me. It is from my friends Sam and Steve at Thought Lead, an evolutionary marketing consultancy.
“What is Evolutionary Marketing?” you might ask. Well, for the comprehensive answer you should go to their [...]
I often need to take pictures of stuff that’s on my computer screen, so I can share the illustration in blog posts, put it into an ebook or manual, send clarification to my web programmer, etc. If you do any of your own marketing, you may need to do this sort of thing too. So [...]

Many have identified their customers’ needs, know where relevant conversations are taking place (in forums, LinkedIn groups, Facebook pages, etc) and have [...]
This is a guest post by Todd Brabender, President of Spread The News Public Relations, Inc.
When it comes to launching a new business or product, some marketing consultants might say that EVERY product is appropriate for a publicity or media exposure campaign. That is true to a degree, but as [...]
So you want to be more visible online? Cool. It’s not actually that hard, but it does help to know what you are getting into.
Think of Internet Marketing like driving from Boston to Santa Fe. You’d want a map or gps, right? With that in mind, let’s take a broad look at the landscape. [...]
Jennifer Barry, author of the new Live Richly blog, recently interviewed award winning photographer Greg Davis. It’s a fascinating story that you might enjoy, because it reveals Greg’s entrepreneurial spirit and the freedom he experiences by pursuing his own path.
