Georgia's Progress with Online Promotions

Yours truly just read an article on
Strategic Business Analysis
that alludes to how brick & mortar businesses are using the Internet for evaluating their standing against their competition. This even gave examples of banks.
If one is just starting a business, they need to consider Political, Economic, Social and Technological factors determining the market -- to analyze who uses their product, and the actual investment opportunities represented.
They also need to look at their own Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. One needs to consider products, business ideas, options of entering new markets, potential partnerships, suppliers, outsourcing of services or resources and investment opportunities again.

Referred to as PEST and SWOT -- this analysis process can also apply to the online or MLM business, and should be re-evaluated from time to time -- that is, if you want to prevent disaster. This quote also was included:
At internet speed, the pressure to act quickly is always a factor when deciding whether or not to pursue something. Whether the decision involves $5.00 or $5,000.00 the result is the same if that business doesn't pan out and there is no one to blame but yourself ( if you have taken no time to investigate it).

From a personal viewpoint, I have found the online programs have one advantage : many allow you to sign up for free, test the market and then decide whether to upgrade to a paid position.

Two programs which are free to start and could be beneficial to any online marketer are
Twitter List Builder -- which allows you to get thousands of new followers to your Twitter account quickly.
and uses an amazing software program Derrick VanDyke has just released

and

Capturing data from social networking sites:

@connectwithjeff has created a way for me to turn any site I want into an instant capture page.

So long for now -- and enjoy these links.

It Sometimes Takes a Bit of Inspiration!

The Purple Cowboys Marketing Group present ideas on riding ( across the Internet), roping ( contacting people & making friends before selling) and Branding -- getting our name seen (personally) before our business and other things.
In doing this, we have several mentoring meetings a week to discuss ways to keep motivated.


Something on in http://consciousness.clydebatton.com This goes a long ways towardsspiration I looked at today was in a magazine by that title- a little quote on our influence as "The Ripple Effect".

"The Ripple Effect

"Each choice we make causes a ripple effect in our lives.
When things happen to us,it is the reaction we choose that can
create the difference between the sorrows of our past and the joy
in our future."

Think about it - - if we choose happiness and presenting a smile to
the world, we will make a much greater impression than by being
buried in our own problems.

In fact, our group has been discussing consciousness -- of what we are
actually saying about life and how we're letting that influence all that
happens to us. One of the 3 founders has a web site with some of this
material you may be interested in reading - at http://consciousness.clydebatton.com
