Small Business Marketing Guru Very Successful and Busy but Still Has Time To Help Others For Free

 

Small Business Marketing Guru Boasts 'Give Me 1/2 An Hour And I Can Show Any Small Business How To Triple Their Profits... I'll Even Pay For The Phone Call'

Small business marketing coach J D Moore makes a bold claim and offers free consulting to back it up.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- Small business marketing guru J. D. Moore recently claimed that in a free 1/2 hour call he can give any small business 3-4 strategies that could triple their profits. Moore is offering free 1/2 hour consulting calls to a very limited number small business owners who sign up on his web site http://www.marketingcometcoach.com. He'll even pay for the call within the United States.

"I have limited time and I am looking to speak with business owners that will take my coaching to heart and go our there and make piles of money," says Moore, "There's no catch wahtsoever, this is how the best small business owners and I find each other and decide if we want to work together to build their business."

And while the claim may smack of overconfidence, Moore is known for very fast, very big results. A client recently implemented one of Moore's suggested marketing systems and realized a 13X growth in revenue in around a month. He captured a #1 and #3 spot in search engine listings in a matter of weeks. One of his media campaigns gained weeks of televsion news coverage, interviews, and radio appearances.

Even though many small businesses can benefit from coaching, it hasn't bene utilized as much as it should. It's estimated that around 90% of small businesses don't even have marketing plans. Even though small businesses provide over 50% of the US workforce, their failure rates are still astounding.

Small business owners in paricular have too little money and too little time to waste on ineffective marketing. They can't market like larger businesses. Coaching is far more affordable than hiring a marketing agency, or wasting money on marketing that doesn't work.

"I have yet to find a business I couldn't help in some way. I regularly find ways to add six-figure revenue streams to my clients businesses while maximizing their current marketing efforts." says Moore.

J. D. Moore, founder of Marketing Comet coaching, has been a small business entrepreneur for over 10 years. He has served as a consultant to some of the largest corporations in the US, and helped startups get on their feet. he's regularly called upon by other marketing consultants for his expertise in electronic marketing and public relations.

Entrepreneur Launches Web's First Tag Directory to Raise Money for His Wedding

 

Entrepreneur Launches Web's First Tag Directory to Raise Money for His Wedding

A 37-year-old Canadian entrepreneur wants to pay for his wedding - and walk away debt-free - by selling listings on his del.icio.us account for $20 per listing.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) November 28, 2005 -- A Canadian entrepreneur wants to raise funds for his wedding by listing websites on his del.icio.us account for $20 per listing. Patrick Ryan, 37, and his fiancée have been dating for 5 years; he hopes that TagDirectory.net will attract advertisers. Advertisers will be able to list their website under as many categories (tags) as they want.

Patrick Ryan, from Toronto, Canada, came up with the tagdirectory.net concept after thinking of ways to walk away from his wedding debt-free. In May of 2005 over the Victoria Day weekend, Ryan surprised his fiancée by proposing to her in New York City's Central Park. The couple then set the date, October 12, 2006 and decided on a destination wedding. When the couple realized the number of invites to be sent out (each comes from a large family and over 200 relatives must be invited to the wedding), they realized that the wedding was going to cost more than they had originally expected. With all of the up-front costs the majority of the funds are needed immediately.

When asked why he is taking this innovative approach to his wedding finances, Ryan said that he does not want money to stand in the way of he and his fiancée's future happiness. "I've heard that for most couples, money is the biggest cause of problems. I want Keri and I to have a very happy marriage. I'd want to be debt-free after the wedding."

Websites such as Google, Amazon, IMDB, 43 Things, Flickr and of course del.icio.us are all employing the use of tagging as a way of organizing their data. Any advertiser can list their website using the new categorizing method of tagging. Tagging allows for a website to be classified under multiple sections. In current directory structures, an advertiser can only be listed under one section.

One of the website's advertisers, Scott Weisbrod, commented, "A Tag Directory is an innovative approach to advertising that provides businesses with an opportunity to promote their services or products to a captive and engaged audience."

"I think this will appeal to anybody with a website," Ryan commented. "The cost is reasonable for all advertisers. Every advertiser needs to drive traffic to their website. Tagging allows advertisers to list their website under multiple categories (tags) for the price of one listing."

Ryan believes that the tags will offer very good value since the website will be kept online for at least 10 years, although the aim is to have it up for as long as possible. "It will be kept as an archive for all to refer back to later. Tagging is something that will shape the way people interact with the Internet. The goal is for the website to become a foot note on Wikipedia (the online encyclopedia)."

Asked how much he needs for the wedding, Ryan said, "I estimate about $150 K; however, you never know. The wedding just keeps getting more expensive. As soon as you approach a retailer and you tell them you are getting married, the price of goods goes up five times." Ryan said that if he ends up with more money then he would help out those closest to him. Since he is an Internet entrepreneur he has some solid concepts that he would invest in.

[ Editor's comment: Wow, $20 for a link on the home page! That certainly is resonable. Well, I guess it's not that great since the home page has a Google PageRank of zero. Also, the links go to del.icio.us, so I don't see what the value of THAT is...? Why am I reminded of those stupid million-pixel ad sites? (hris ]

Council Calls for Responsible Marketing of Poker Sets

 

Council Calls for Responsible Marketing of Poker Sets; Parents and Educators to get Involved as Holiday Shopping Season Begins

The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG) is calling for responsible marketing of adult gambling games during the upcoming holiday shopping season. Retailers are once again expected to sell record numbers of poker sets and other gambling gift items this year, many of which will be purchased for children and adolescents. The FCCG wants all concerned adults to realize that it is not appropriate to market or sell these adult gambling items as toys.

Altamonte Springs, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2005 -- The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG) is calling for responsible marketing of adult gambling games during the upcoming holiday shopping season. Retailers are once again expected to sell record numbers of poker sets and other gambling gift items this year, many of which will be purchased for children and adolescents. The FCCG wants all concerned adults to realize that it is not appropriate to market or sell these adult gambling items as toys.

Poker and other forms of gambling are not legal for anyone under 18 years of age in Florida. Yet, poker game kits were among last year’s hottest selling gift items for the holidays. And, this year’s sales are expected to be even higher. Texas Hold ‘Em games and other poker sets are routinely sold in department store toy departments as appropriate games for children as young as four years of age.

One of the two major predictors for the development of a gambling problem is parental attitudes toward gambling. Parents, who are purchasing Texas Hold ‘Em game kits for children as young as ten year old, are sending a message of approval and even encouragement of youth poker play. Children are receiving that message and are playing poker in record numbers.

The other predictor for the development of a gambling problem is early onset of play. The younger the child is when first engaging in gambling activities, the greater the possibility that a gambling problem will develop. Recent studies have shown that poker play among teens has more than doubled in the last year. This increase can be attributed primarily to televised poker tournament play and celebrity participation. The FCCG and other experts are concerned about the long-term impact of so many youth participating in gambling at such young ages.

“Parents need to understand that these games are not just kids’ card games,” says Pat Fowler, Executive Director of the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling. “Parents also need to know that the age labeling of these products refers to the ability of the child to master the pieces of the game. It is not a recommendation that the game is appropriate for that same age group.”

The FCCG, which maintains a neutral policy on gambling, has no objection to appropriate distribution and sale of poker sets and other adult gambling games. Ms. Fowler states, “The Council has no problem with the marketing of these games to adults in appropriate store locations, but do not think that toy departments are a responsible choice.”

The FCCG is asking retailers to sell gambling items to adults only and to place them in appropriate locations within their stores. In addition, the Council is calling on parents and educators to support those retailers who market adult gambling items responsibly and to voice complaint to the management of stores which do not.

In closing, Ms. Fowler emphasized, “It is important for all concerned adults to get involved in this very serious matter. Parents need to educate themselves on the risks associated with the participation of their children in adult gambling games, because this is not kids’ play.”

About the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling
The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling, Inc. (FCCG) is a not-for-profit 501c(3) educational and advocacy organization whose primary mission is to help persons adversely affected by problem and compulsive gambling. Established in 1988, the FCCG is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, is a member of the National Council on Problem Gambling and maintains a neutral stance on the issue of legalized gambling. The FCCG is funded by the State of Florida and receives additional support from membership dues, training fees and donations.

Press Release Writing and Distribution Service for Small Businesses Achieves High Ranking

 

Press Release Writing and Distribution Service for Small Businesses Achieves High Ranking

The third highest ranked public relations web site is not one of the world's major PR firms. It is ThatPRGuy.com, the web site of independent PR consultant David M. Bresnahan.

WAKEFIELD, N.H. (PRWEB) November 22, 2005 -- A small, one-man press release writing and distribution service has surpassed virtually all the largest public relations companies in the world by being ranked third by Ranking.com.

David M. Bresnahan, a journalist and broadcaster with 30 years of experience, recognized a need in a niche market that was not being serviced by traditional PR firms. He offers individualized press release writing and distribution services for small businesses and organizations through his web site at http://www.ThatPRGuy.com.

"There is a large number of small businesses that are trying to establish an Internet presence, but no one knows they exist. The owners of these companies do not have the means to hire a full-service PR firm and pay large retainers month after month, but they need public relations services" explained Bresnahan.

Bresnahan provides free help to small business owners that includes a free report on using press releases for publicity sent by e-mail to visitors to his web site, free tips on how to write a press release yourself at www.ThatPRGuy.com/releasetips.htm, and hundreds of press release examples at www.ThatPRGuy.com/releases.

"Net-entrepreneurs recognize the value of regular monthly news releases, but they need an inexpensive way to write and send a press release to traditional and online news media. Most small businesses cannot afford large retainers and hourly fees, so I found a need and filled it with lots of free help and guidance, as well as a fixed-price service that makes public relations affordable for the little guy," he said.

Ranking.com provides market research upon a statistically, geographically, and demographically significant number of Internet surfers to calculate the ranking of the top 900,000 most visited web sites. The third place position is a remarkable achievement because Bresnahan's site beat all but two other public relations firms in the world to achieve the position on www.Ranking.com.

ThatPRGuy.com has also achieved number one ranking for many keyword phrases for organic search results, a major accomplishment in the world of search engine optimization. In other words, the site shows up on Google and other major search engines without paying to be in those search results.

Ranking.com has scored www.ThatPRGuy.com with a "Trust" rank of 5, and a traffic ranking of 105,596 out of all web sites in the world. The site is ranked third in the category of public relations, with 7,142 links to it on other web sites, and a world-wide popularity ranking of 42,588 out of all web sites. ThatPRGuy.com has a Google page rank of 5.
Bresnahan provides a free report on using press releases for publicity by e-mail to his web site visitors, free tips on how to write a press release yourself at www.ThatPRGuy.com/releasetips.htm, and hundreds of press release examples at www.ThatPRGuy.com/releases.

"I understand that many people who are struggling to start and run a small business may need to try and write their own press release, so I provide resources for them to do that. I want to help them any way I can, even if they are not actually hiring me to do their work," he explained.

Bresnahan has over 30 years of experience as an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, book author, and public relations consultant.

Network Solutions: Still the Domain Price Leader

I guess it's just like those gas stations that sell petrol at a price that is above most of the other stations. The higher cost makes some people think that their more expensive gas must be "better" in some way, otherwise they would not charge more, right?

 

So it is too with domain names. I just happened to be on the Network Solutions (Didn't they change to Verisign at some point...?) site and thought I would check their prices, expecting them to be the same old $30 a year that they used to be. At first I almost went into shock! It said they were only charging $8.95 a year!!!    Then I realized that it said that price was " 1 Year w/ Monthly Hosting". They actually give you the domain for free if you pay for a year of hosting. But if you just want a domain name for a year it's $34.99! Ouch, yup they're still at it.

 

Ok, I do see that there is a price break if you register for more than one year at a time, but why put the pressure on people to register for multiple years? Most other registrars don't do that.

 

So what's the difference between a NSI domain and a GoDaddy or other registrar's domain name? You got it, about $26! They are even charging $34.99 for .info domains, which can generally be had for a huge discount for the first year. Check out www.domainsite.com, my new favorite registrar as an example.

 

NSI also offers something I have not seen, the ability to register a domain for 100 years at only, ONLY $9.99 a year!. What a bargain! An what are the chances that we will have domain names, or have to pay for them in 100 years? I'd say it's pretty slim. Given that the profit on domain names is so huge, I don't expect them to get all that expensive in the future. Thank God, we were able to give NSI some competition. Can you imagine what domains would cost if they were the only provider...!?!?

Check Your Phone Bill for Fake Charges from OAN and Nationwide Connections

Check Your Phone Bill for Fake Charges from OAN and Nationwide Connections, Inc.

 

OAN, Billview.com, Billingconcepts.com, Nationwide Connections, inc., oanweb.com, Qwest are all involved, but make it very hard to trace back to the source of the bogus phone bill charges

 

In looking over my phone bill this month I discover a charge for $6.25. Now, you would think I would remember a collect a call from Spearfish, SD from last month, right? Well it's a bogus charge and I also discovered we had one on our bill from last February that was supposed to have been made in December 2004. That one was from Michigan and also for $6.25.

 

The numbers they provide in the bills will take you to Nationwide Connections whose supposedly bill on behalf of OAN, whatever those letters mean. All the numbers they give you at Nationwide Connections for OAN just take you back to Nationwide Connections. OAN really does not want to be contacted by you...!

 

The good thing is that Nationwide Connections readily gives you credit or in the case of my old charge says they will send a voucher that can be used against our phone bill for credit. We'll see if we really get one.

 

The message here is to check your phone bill every month and question any funny-looking charges.

 

Do some searches in Google for oan scam and billview scan and you will find it ain't just me.

 

Here's one blog entry that I found that confirms what I've seen:

Casino Media Group Expands to Multimedia Integrated Programs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) November 2, 2005 -- Casino Media Group (CMG) has reached casino players throughout the US and Canada since 2004 with fully integrated communication and advertising campaigns that include OOH media, casino POS, on-table felts, on-poker chips, and on-playing cards. In addition, CMG organizes and plans celebrity gala events, including in-house gaming tournaments, as well as broadband on-line, free play promotional tournaments. Clients include: Canadian Club, Beck’s, the Canadian Football League, Bowman’s and Milwaukee’s Best, who have all launched multi media national campaigns utilizing CMG.

CMG has negotiated arrangements with more then 150 casinos in the US giving the Company unprecedented access to the casino floor and to the 60 million adult consumers who made almost 300 million casino trips last year.

“Casinos are an untapped adult media landscape,” said Walter Marcinowski, Marketing Director at CMG. “The audience is highly affluent, they travel extensively and they are predisposed to trying new things. They are a very desirable advertising target.”

CMG data supports this image of a vibrant, spending adult. In addition, the CMG research reveals that women comprise 54% of the casino player market market. It also identifies demographic gaming preferences to allow the advertiser to target specific groups such as 21 to 34 yr old males who prefer poker. Females in the same group will play Black Jack while more mature gamers will play the slots.

“We offer a fully integrated media package that includes Print, OOH, Broadband, TV and radio elements," Marcinowski said. "Our goal is to empower the consumer in an emotionally, experiential setting. It’s not about counting eyeballs, it’s about living quality experiences.

"Currently, poker is king in this realm, but CMG is always innovating new turn-key media packages to satiate most any target audience. From the CMG Poker challenge we have expanded our titles to include the following," he said.

Sports Book Sponsorships: The male audience’s favorite past time

Slot Sponsorship: The mature player’s preference.

Asian Gaming: Dedicated to a cultural experience

Club Experience: Hot, Young, 21 and Music-oriented

Ballroom Dancing: It is slowly building a strong level of participation throughout the country.

Domino Tournaments: Presently a strong Hispanic market which is rapidly filling the mainstream

Backgammon & bird watching events: The wealthiest and most educated patrons who spend more money per capita on their hobby then any other enthusiast.

“I remember a saying that ‘the best way to predict the future is to create it'," says Walter Marcinowski. "That’s what we are about."

Man Vomits Uncontrollably Upon Hearing of New Press Release About Million Pixel Advertising Pages

 

Man Vomits Uncontrollably Upon Hearing of New Press Release About Million Pixel Advertising Pages

 

(NARWEB) November 3, 2005 -- Minneapolis - At his job today, Wally Nordfish was taken ill in a most violent and uncontrolled way when a co-worker showed him a press release just issued by the owners of another million pixel ad page web site, designed to take advantage of the current hype around such sites.

 

The spewing incident lasted only a few minutes, but co-worker Gene Sheffeid said, "Man, I know he hates those sites, but I just thought I would tease him a little more. I've seen the Exorcist, but I always thought that was just special effects. The worst part for me, now that I know he's going to be ok, is that he was seated at my desk at the time."

 

When the spasms caused Mr. Nordfish to lose consciousness, he was taken to a nearby hospital and released a few hours later. When reached by phone for comment, he said, "I'm really embarrassed and I have no idea why that happened. This is the first time. I just started reading what Gene showed me and my stomach started spinning like a turbine. It was like a nightmare!".

 

Mr. Nordfish continued, "Those stupid pixel sites are such a rip-off! They are nothing better that graphic link farms with no text content, no Google PageRank, and no real value for the money they are charging people. The damn things have no content, ok?!!?". It was suggested that there was enough material for the story and that Mr. Nordfish should get some rest and end the call.

 

The company that employs both men declined to comment but issued a short statement: "We regret this incident and have amended our employee handbook to include rules about the distribution of objectionable materials at the office, or using company equipment. It's a shame that this had to happen, but everyone at the company is very aware these pixel sites, the problems they can cause, and we do not foresee something like this ever happening again.". No disciplinary measures were mentioned, but there was speculation that Mr. Sheffeid would be required to clean up the work area.

MillionDollarHomepage Hacker Attack Clones Get Slapped

(PRWEB) October 31, 2005 -- Hackers have started their onslaught on MilliondollarHomepage type sites. They have found a vulnerability in the script that allows them to post their banner over the advertisers logos. But the advertiser still gets the click thru. These attacks are easily undone and everything returns to normal without the site closing. They are simply just ugly but not malicious. Most sites that were hacked were back to normal in minutes.

Says Peter the Hack ( one of the guilty ) , about the hacks " We can do no lasting damage , just place our oversized "banner" on a free spot , so that it over shadows the real pixels. but the real pixels get the clickthru , you just see our banner. We only do it for fun , not malice. the game is to see who can hack the big one ! "

New Toplist generates amazing traffic for Pixel sites

Friday, 28. October 2005
The Free Million Pixels Toplist ( http://www.freemillionpixels.com/topsites/ ) has generated huge amouts of traffic to the sites that signed up for the free service. The pixel sites , scripts , other lists etc are ll noticing a surge in their stats. this is due partly to the fact that the toplist is receiving thousands of hits daily which in turn leads to free visitors to the sites that came on board.

Sites that didnt join are feeling the pinch as they get left well and truly behind in the "Pixel War" . ( To pun another great pixel directory ).     It seems that sites that joined the Webring have benefitted the most. To join the Webring the sites must display a piece of code that allows for easy navigation thru all the member sites. Thus people can surf pixel sites , almost automatically.

The Toplist is a totally free service , being funded only by the odd advert , mainly those from http://ffq.com ( a pixel banner site ) and http://free-banners.biz ( one of the larger Banner Exchange Networks ) .

Most of the traffic to the Toplist comes from the search engines as it is well placed in its appropriate keywords ( First in many ). It has tured out to be a easy way for pixel related sites to get a backdoor onto the no.1 spot , or at least their site featuring for free on the site that is at number one ( and often 2 & 3 aswell )

“Our uncustomary approach to online distribution easily translates to any industry and seamlessly brings together the disciplines of Marketing, Management and Measurement cohesively to intensify overall revenues and profit,” says Alicia Whalen, Co-founder of A Couple of Chicks, “Keeping it simple, our business model allows us to develop and implement a comprehensive plan for our clients, customized to their needs and budget.”

“Basically, we look at the on-line Distribution Marketing of any business to suggest the best tools and resources required to be seen on the World Wide Web. We educate as to the importance of a solid on-line presence, and then suggest the tools needed to achieve it,” Whalen concludes.

Four years ago Whalen sought out the aid of a programmer and together they developed and perfected a revolutionary Web Analytic tool unlike any other currently available on the market.

Her hands on involvement in bringing a simple idea into an advanced marketable product was rewarded with “A Couple of Chicks Marketing” being granted the exclusive rights to introduce the new web analytic tool to the public. The ability to accurately track conversion rates and ROI will enable businesses to target online and offline marketing dollars to the highest yielding revenue channels.

ACOC recognizes the need to integrate Marketing, Management and Measurement and has developed a unique formula that not only marries the individual tactics; it actually works and does it with style…as only A Couple of Chicks can!

DO NOT install the Windows Authenticode Certified "Secure service pack" if prompted!!!

This site, http://www.placementpower.org/ seems to be the one behind the distribution of a browser add-in that has nothing to do with security except to violate yours. It really adds the ability to server ads to you that you may or may not want. It may do other harmful things, but this has not been verified. Don't trust something that has to hide what it really is and what it really does to your computer.

 

They also offer Surf Speak surfspeak.com and Voice command browser. If you are considering these, look for the same thing somewhere else, or make sure you read all about what the do to your computer and what rights you give up by doing so.

 

They also say they are Windows Authenticode Certified which they may or may not be, I don't know what it takes to be able to claim that, but it does NOT mean that Microsoft approves of what they are doing. If they do, let me know and I'll print that. They also try to make you think that the Secure Service Pack is something important like Macromedia Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Quicktime Player and they mention those products on their site and on the phone if you call them.

 

Don't be suckered in and tell everyone you know that it's a another scam to use you to generate advertising revenue for them. What do you get? Nothing, or maybe some software you could get elsewhere without the spy ware/adware.
