Leave Lame Behind? NOT

It’s actually quite funny how the newest headline at Copyblogger says Leave Lame Behind only to present the lamest promotional video I’ve seen in months just under it…

I mean, check it out for yourself: Copyblogger (or go directly to the video on Vimeo).

Basically, it’s just a combination of catchphrases one after another.

But let’s break the lame line by line:

How to Protect Yourself From Online Scams – My New Hub Page Goes Live

My writing and publishing schedule actually contained a number of other hub pages to be written before the scams and online fraud hub. However, one day, I’ve decided that it can possibly be one of the most important hubs I could ever publish, so it went straight to the top of the list.

(Just like my short entry on giving back to the community became the most important post on this site.)

So today, I’m happy to announce that the hub is now live. It is a bit different than other hubs, though. Instead of linking to other posts focusing on “good practices” of doing something, it links to posts that talk about what not to do, and how not to fall victim to online marketing douchebags. And I really mean it.

Oh, You Again … Here’s Where to Get Started

startPardon me with the title, it’s the first headline that came across my mind and I’ve decided to just go with it!

Let’s focus on the second part of it – “Here’s Where to Get Started”

I’m happy to announce a new page on newInternetOrder.com. It’s a “getting started page” – as in, how to get started with newInternetOrder.com and why would you even want to start in the first place.

In a (two) word, it’s a road sign pointing the way to the core content on this site.

But first…

Want to Join the Guru Clique? Here’s How to Sell a Product in 9 Steps

CliqueFirst things first, are you on any “guru” marketers’ email lists?

Sure you are.

Everybody is.

You signed up maybe just to check out what they are doing and what methods they are using to bring new customers and maybe to even buy some stuff from them.

I actually have a completely separate email address just for receiving this sort of “quality newsletters” (they are nowhere near being quality, by the way), purely because there’s just so much stuff out there that giving them my primary email address would ruin me in days.

Anyway, there are times when I’m amazed at how certain marketing and selling methods get repeated over and over again, with yet another product launch. I mean, does this stuff still work?

Online Business Battle: Artists vs. Scientists

A while ago, I received an email from a man by the name of Aldo Baker. He was promoting an infographic titled “The Modern Marketer: Part Artist, Part Scientist” and asking me whether I’d be willing to share it with you through my site.

Although 99% of such email gets an automatic “no” or, more often, no answer at all, this one got me thinking. Is online business art or science? Or maybe, a little bit of both?

First of all, let me give credit where credit’s due; here’s the infographic that Aldo wanted me to share (so mission accomplished, Aldo):
