I can’t tell you how many job descriptions I’ve helped employers and friends write over the years but I can tell you that every single one of them had to include a “designated level of education required”. For some, this is typical. For others, like myself, it leaves a foul taste in my mouth. Let [...]

It isn’t often that I am so inspired by a product that I would want to break from my typical instructional blog posts and write a review. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever posted a review to this blog but I believe in this service so much that I feel compelled to write about [...]

I’ve built several landing pages over the last year, some successful and some not. In my experience, the most successful attempts were those in which I ignored my desire to do what I want to do. As a marketer with a designers background, it’s often difficult for me to do what I know works because [...]

In this post I’ll be helping beginners with the steps they need to take in securing their personal brand. My hope is to help you take only the necessary steps to get [...]

You could say that I am as much to blame as the next guy for not living up to the title of this post. I haven’t written in this blog in over a year, for any number of convoluted excuses I can come up with… primarily because I’ve been “too busy”. However, after a year of completely [...]

I’m often asked by friends, family and colleagues who own small businesses – “Is Facebook or Twitter better for my business?”. Some might suggest that there is a series of questions that need to be answered before determining the answer while others may imply that Facebook provides more opportunities to connect than Twitter. I’ll agree that [...]

It seems Apple may not be targeting a very large demographic in their iPad marketing campaign. Salespeople often have limited access to the variety of tools online that are designed to help make their jobs easier by staying organized.
