By Wendy Montes de Oca | 04/28/2010

Although many marketers still don’t understand how to take advantage of social media, I’m here to tell you that it’s a crucial strategy.

It’s a key element of my marketing plans. And it deserves a lot of credit for the six figures in revenue that my consulting business was bringing in — only 10 months after I got started.

How to Make Difficult Business Challenges Easier

By Mark Morgan Ford | 04/24/2010

My friend Bernard opened a furniture shop shortly after he immigrated to Boca Raton, Florida from Manchester, England in the early 1980s. That’s when I met him. I was shopping for an armoire for our bedroom. Most of the nice ones I’d seen were priced above $500. He had a half dozen of the same quality for only $195. I asked him how he was able to do it. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, “It’s not that my prices are good. It’s the other prices that are bad.”

Fuel Your Business Growth With the Power of Thought

By Rich Schefren | 04/22/2010

It’s no big secret that I’ve coached more “up-and-comer” Internet entrepreneurs to guru status than anyone else. Heck, that’s why I’m often referred to as “the guru to the gurus.” So it’s no big surprise that I’m often asked… What single trait separates the winners from the losers? My answer:…

The Language Perfectionist: Unintended Double Meanings

By Don Hauptman | 04/22/2010

Not long ago, an editor e-mailed a document to me, but it somehow went astray. When I told her that it hadn’t arrived, she responded with the words: “I resent it.” I wrote back, jokingly, “What do you resent?”

This is a case of a linguistic ambiguity. Because English is filled with double meanings and puns, such confusions can easily occur. The results can be amusing or tragic — or both.

Here are some classic ambiguous headlines, all alleged to be genuine mistakes. (The first became the title of a book that immortalized such errors.)

Be Picky About Picking Fights

By Harvey Mackay | 04/19/2010

Disagreements happen. You can’t always get your way. Everyone has an opinion. There are two sides to every argument. When you’re dealing with family or friends, you expect to have differences of opinion. Perhaps you are willing to fight for your views and what’s important to you. And often, because…

By Mark Morgan Ford | 04/17/2010

Today, I am going to give you a way to make a lot of money. And after I have explained it, I will tell you exactly how to get started.

It is a very simple strategy. I have used it and have personally seen it being used at least 100 times in the last 10 years. In the beginning, the success rate was less than 50 percent. But now, because of what we have learned, it is probably over 90 percent.

How to Master the Art of the Upsell

By David Cross | 04/15/2010

Salt is a restaurant tucked away near Patterson Park in Baltimore. I ate there last week. I’d give it 8.5 points out of 10, which for me is a very good rating. The food was great and I received an immediate warm and friendly welcome by the owner, Jane. But…

The Language Perfectionist: Punctuation Peccadilloes

By Don Hauptman | 04/15/2010

I titled a recent column “Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope.”   An eagle-eyed reader pointed out that the sentence contains an error called a “comma splice.” Because the two phrases could be complete sentences, they should be separated by a semicolon, not a comma. But as I noted, I…

Don’t Gamble

By Bob Irish | 04/14/2010

“Don’t gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don’t go up, don’t buy it.” Will Rogers’s observation on the stock market is as true today as it was over 70 years ago. It speaks to…

Want Lots More Sales? Avoid These Seven Deadly Sins

By Drayton Bird | 04/13/2010

A few years ago, after making a speech about copywriting that I thought was excellent in every way, my childish delight at my own brilliance was destroyed by a cynical listener. He said, “Well, you seem to know just about everything about what to do in order to write good…
