  31. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Are you in need of urgent cash? Have you been struggling to find the right source that can offer quick cash? Your search ends here! Clear your pending bills and commitments right away with the help of cash advance lenders that lend you much needed funds immediately without any delay.Finding the right LenderFinancing is a legally sensitive issue and you need to set some protocols before choosing the right lender. Here are some of the points you need to consider to find the best payday lender:* One way you can receive your cash faster is by paying nominally higher fees than usual. A premium will be charged by the lender if you wish to see your request processed faster, which means higher priority will be given to your application. On the other hand, if you are not in a hurry, opt for a lender that allows a waiting period of day or two so you don&#8217;t have to incur higher fees as compared to the above suggested model. This ensures you receive the cash promptly and don&#8217;t have to pay higher charges.* Utilising online lenders service is a smart idea for those who need their application to be approved faster. This will make sure that you receive almost an instant approval from the website and the funds will be transferred into your account within an hour from the time of approval.* Most of the applicants complain of fax process as it takes a lot of time and has some discrepancies. Find a lender that offers payday advance and ensure that you don&#8217;t have to fax your bank records. It&#8217;s considered as one of the fastest means where you don&#8217;t require paper transactions at all.* User friendly experience is something every customer desires. There&#8217;s a considerable amount of difference in time and efforts required to fill a form personally as compared to filling a form online. Visiting a place personally to fill your payday loan request can be quite tedious and time consuming, whereas an online payday advance website allows you to type in mandatory details that are essential. You don&#8217;t need to scan and attach a copy of your identity proof or any such documents. Fill the form and click on Submit button to take a backseat and see your request processed at the earliest.Comparing Loan TermsAlthough your requirement is urgent, don&#8217;t accelerate the pedal without knowing your speed. Every cash lender has a set of terms and conditions that you need to read, understand and acknowledge before getting into an agreement. Conducting background check is equally essential to short-list and close in on better of the best. Follow some of these advice mentioned below to safeguard yourself:* Knowing the interest rate is critical for you to determine who is offering the most competitive rate. You very well understand the fact that lenders who don&#8217;t look at security, charge higher interest rates, considering the amount of risk they need to bear with several customers. While some cash lenders charge $20 to $30 for every $100 they lend, which is on the higher end, other cash lenders only charge $8 to $15 and this protects you from being taken for a ride.* Although lenders expect repayment on time, it&#8217;s unrealistic to expect everyone to pay on time. In such an instance, they charge a price which could lead you to losses, unless you have a deep pocket to afford. Read the terms carefully and check for this clause which mentions the amount to be paid for over lapse of due date.* Know your due date well in advance because repayment terms and the duration to clear them differ. While the average duration to make your repayment is 14 days, few other lenders offer a 30 days grace period before sending a final notice to your place. Consider all these points carefully and choose the most appropriate cash lender.* Cash advance lenders are the most sought after parties that offer quick and instant loan approvals for your financial necessities. Considerable amount of diligence and research should see that you find the best one in the industry that can serve you for now and in the long run.</p>

  121. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Career opportunities in accounting and finance are endless. This is because when you have either a CA or CPA license with you, it is possible for you to work for a large firm that has offices both here and abroad. Given that every company needs ones, it will not be that hard to find a job.Some of things that you can get into include actuaries, auditing, banking, chartered accounting, corporate finance, corporate recovery, stock broking and taxation management.One report shows that employments prospects for these professionals is quite high over the past 5 years and this is expected to continue until after 2010. You will also be handsomely rewarded with a good salary but long hours come with the territory especially when companies and individuals have to file their income taxes and towards the end of the financial year.Just to give you an idea, newly grades who work in banks earn from $35,000 to $50,000 annually while financial managers earn almost double that amount. Professionals who soon become partners for the bigger firms earn more than $100,000.But in order for you to get a higher position, you will also need to go back to school. Most financial experts pursue an MBA after a few years in the corporate world. While some return to their employers, others apply elsewhere.Before you can see yourself up there, you have to work from the bottom going up. While some decide to make it big in Wall Street, you too can also succeed wherever you decide to apply.The first thing to do is conduct some research. This will make you understand how things work and how news in business affects the industry, the country and the world as a whole.If you want to get the job, aside from being knowledgeable, you need to have connections that are already there so you are given the position instead of someone else. This means building your network from school and then using it to your advantage.Associating yourself with those who have done well may give you pointers so you too can be just as successful as them.But you shouldn&#8217;t wait until graduate before you start looking at the various career opportunities in accounting and finance. The best way to get your foot in the door is to apply for a summer position or an internship because most companies hire those who have worked with them for a short period of time compared to those that sent in their resumes. Believe me; you already have an edge right there as you already have an idea about the internal workings of the company.Just in case the company you worked for does not have an opening right now, you should prepare your resume and yourself for interviews with other companies that do similar activities with what you used to do during your internship.The average professional who works in either accounting or finance leaves after 2 years. They may apply for reassignment to another department or find employment doing something else. When this happens, there are job openings around for fresh graduates as well as those who already have experience in this industry. Indeed, there are career opportunities in accounting and finance. You just have to build your network and get it. </p>

  160. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> What do you think you need more than anything else to attract more of your ideal clients?Many people will say, &#8220;better information to show me how to do what works.&#8221;Others will say, &#8220;more motivation and drive to implement what I already know.&#8221;Another common answer is, &#8220;more time to fit marketing activities into my schedule.&#8221;And lots of people will say, &#8220;I need better goals and more clarity about what I want to achieve.&#8221;In writing this ezine/blog for the past 20 years I&#8217;ve talked about the importance of all of those.But I&#8217;m finally understanding a factor that is much more important: good habits.Over the past year, I&#8217;ve been a big advocate of the writings of James Clear. He writes a blog about success and habits. And he just came out with his first book, Atomic Habits, which is fantastic.Even though James isn&#8217;t a marketing expert, I&#8217;m convinced he&#8217;s right when he says that the ultimate determinant of success is building positive habits.This idea is simple but true: Self-employed professionals who establish regular marketing habits have a much better chance of succeeding than those who don&#8217;t.And the crazy thing is that the four items &#8211; information, motivation, time, and goals &#8211; I mentioned above don&#8217;t actually make a huge difference.Information. These days, we have access to more information about marketing than ever before in history. And much of it is free and instantly available through a Google or YouTube search.The problem is that most of us have not established a regular habit of studying what we need to know to become better marketers. The information is useless unless we become proficient at implementing it.And even if we pay good money for courses and programs, much of it goes to waste. I just learned recently online that 97% of people who buy a course online never complete it.Motivation. If we measured motivation by intention, we are all motivated. Don&#8217;t we all want and need to grow our businesses? But we keep getting distracted and don&#8217;t follow through on our intentions. Again, the issue is poor habits.Time. If only we had more of it. But unsuccessful marketers have just as much of it as the most successful ones. The key is that they dedicate more time to implementing regular marketing habits.Goals. Nothing wrong with goals except that they are only a starting point for success. And they can get us stuck in the future, instead of doing what needs to be done today &#8211; the routine marketing habits that we perform every day or week.&#8221;A habit or system beats a goal every time.&#8221; &#8211; James ClearThe research is in and the conclusion is clear.Establishing positive and consistent marketing habits have a bigger impact on marketing success than anything else.We may have great information, high motivation, lots of time, and clear goals, but unless marketing activities are performed regularly and habitually, the chances of success are slim to none.The question you should be asking is, &#8220;How do I start establishing better marketing habits?&#8221;James&#8217;s Atomic Habits goes to great lengths to share a multitude of ways to become an expert habit practitioner. So I highly suggest you get his book. It could be the most valuable &#8216;marketing&#8217; book you&#8217;ll ever read.But let me also give you my perspective on what it takes to establish new marketing habits.The C &#8211; SPAT ModelThis is a model I came up with for one of my marketing programs.Coaching or Context. A coach declares the game, how it is played and how to win at it. And this creates the context in which you play the game. It helps if you have an outside source that can hold you accountable to play by the rules necessary to succeed.This principle is why when you&#8217;re working with a coach or in a program that you suddenly find it&#8217;s easier to take action and form positive habits. The context of the game helps shape your behaviors.Notice that all professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and accountants go through rigorous training in the form of a professional school and internship. And in this context, professional habits and protocols are established.As independent professionals, we&#8217;d all prefer to do things on our own, charting our own direction. That&#8217;s nice, except that it doesn&#8217;t always work very well, does it?Study. A big part of the game is study and learning the body of knowledge necessary to perform effectively. Again, the information required to be an effective marketer is readily available, but you need some assistance in sorting the wheat from the chaff and studying what is most useful.Planning. All successful marketing needs a plan. The alternative is implementing random marketing activities with little structure and direction. So it&#8217;s not how much you know, but how you put what you know into action.Action. Success doesn&#8217;t come from being busy or doing a lot of things, but in doing the right things at the right time. This is where establishing regular marketing habits comes in.To some, it might be writing an article once or twice a week. For others, it may mean setting up more meetings with networking contacts. Or it could be booking regular speaking engagements.The secret to making this work is to leverage the first three steps of the model &#8211; Coaching, Study, and Planning, into marketing Actions that you perform as consistently as possible.Tracking. What gets measured gets done. And when we fail to measure, habits don&#8217;t tend to stick. When we measure and track habits, the chances increase dramatically that they are performed consistently.It can take some time to establish positive habits. You know that&#8217;s happened when you don&#8217;t even have to think about it anymore; you just sit down and write that article every Monday or make five calls to prospects every week.And when you&#8217;re in action like this, you create a feedback loop, learning what works the best and what doesn&#8217;t. This enables you to fine-tune and adjust over time until your marketing habits become more established.So, stop putting so much attention on searching for the &#8220;perfect&#8221; marketing strategy, getting motivated, finding more time, and setting goals.Instead, use the C &#8211; SPAT approach to establishing positive marketing habits.Cheers, Robert </p>

  175. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Dot.Com or Internet businesses started going main-stream in the early 1990&#8242;s and between 1995 and 2000 internet stocks were selling at multiples of their book values. Most of the Dot.Com companies had nothing tangible to justify their Mount Everest-high prices. It didn&#8217;t take long before the market started correcting itself and by October 4, 2002 the NASDAQ index had crashed by 76.81%, to 1,139.90, from a peak of 5,084.62 recorded on March 10, 2000..Since the burst, the Dot.Com business had separated the men from the boys with valuable lesson learnt. Many of the boys went home to their parents to lick their wounds while the men started searching for the keys to online business success. As a matter of fact, no one key to online business success was found as internet business was a brand new territory. So it became a matter of trial and error to find out what worked.In 2012 Rich Schefren released his much-acclaimed Internet Business Manifesto in which he advised Dot.Com entrepreneurs to approach every aspect of online business, from list building to product development and sales, strategically rather than tactically. He particularly noted that technology is an enabler and the whole focus should be on developing structures and building relationships rather than looking for tactical advantages like trying to outsmart the algorithms.Since the Dot.Com crash, many online entrepreneurs have figured out what works and what doesn&#8217;t and the internet is producing millionaires in record numbers in assorted niches and sub-niches. One of such millionaires is Russell Brunson, the author of three best-selling books: Dot.Com Secrets, Expert Secrets, and Traffic Secrets. These books are definitive guides on what works online. If only to note in passing, as at the 2020, Russell Brunson&#8217;s net-worth was estimated at $41m; a figure he built over 15 years.Scott Cunningham of Social Lite not long ago pointed out that online entrepreneurs go through three phases: the crawl phase, when you&#8217;re making less than $100,000 per annum, the walk phase when you&#8217;re making between $100,000 to $1m, and the run phase when you&#8217;re making over $1m. It is at the crawl phase you need the most learning.For those of us in the crawl phase, it&#8217;s important to note that, just like anything in life, online business has its own guiding principles. Those who succeed in a big way online follow these principles. The opposite is also true for those who fail. As Russell Brunson and other internet business experts would readily advice, do what works. Don&#8217;t try to reinvent the wheel.Here are seven signs you&#8217;re not ready for online business success. Not in any particular order, they include:1. You&#8217;re not curious, indeed more often than not you&#8217;re skeptical that people like you are building successful online businesses and making money.2. You&#8217;re not paranoid, indeed you believe online business is a passing fad and will soon go away. Andy Grove, Intel&#8217;s co-founder, once said, &#8220;Only the Paranoid Survive&#8221;. The internet is not likely to go away soon.3. You believe Social Media is a distraction; if you use SM at all, you use it for the &#8220;social&#8221; aspect. Social media like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are business tools if you know how to use them.4. You lack production mindset, you rather consume, and if you produce at all, you&#8217;re inconsistent. To succeed online, especially if you&#8217;re selling digital products, you must be a prolific producer.5. You wear the toga of expert, always asking, &#8220;What can anybody teach me?&#8221; As Steve Jobs said in his Stanford&#8217;s 2005 Commencement address, &#8220;Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.&#8221;6. You focus on the negatives: fraud, complexity, and the technicalities etc., thus convincing yourself &#8220;it&#8217;s not for me&#8221;. The internet has its dark side. It also has its bright side. Embrace the bright side.7. You live a &#8220;satisfied life&#8221; believing you&#8217;re already successful so &#8220;why bother?&#8221; This is the attitude of high corporate earners. Why not invest and learn now you&#8217;re earning high; sooner or later, you&#8217;ll retire.If you exhibit three or more of the signs I have enumerated above: you lack curiosity, you&#8217;re not paranoid about the internet, you hate social media or only use it for play, you rather consume than produce, you consider yourself an expert who knows it all, you only see the dark side of the internet, and you&#8217;re too satisfied to bother, the simple interpretation is that you lack online business success mindset.The signs simply say you&#8217;re not ready for online business success. I define online success as someone who makes a minimum of $10,000 monthly online and scaling and investing massively to move from the crawl to the walk stage. My simple advice to you is this: get off your couch, put on your running shoes and start looking for online business influencers to learn how you too can succeed online. </p>

  199. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Now, when we talk about small business loans, we mean just that &#8211; small business loans. We are not talking about a $1 million loan to purchase some commercial real estate or $500,000 to buy some investment property. We are not talking about a $3 million credit line just to show capital on a balance sheet. And, we are not talking about a $250,000 equipment loan for a regional construction company.We are talking about true small business credit &#8211; loans under $150,000. Capital amounts that the 22 million small businesses in this country could use at some point in time for working capital, to renovate their location, purchase inventory, marketing, meeting payroll, developing new products or to simply have the capital on hand to acquire and satisfy customers (what business is really about).But, we have heard ad nauseam that banks are just not lending to small businesses &#8211; claiming there is too much risk in smaller firms. So, many small companies are not even applying for credit anymore out of fear of being turned down. And, as a result, we are seeing small businesses not reach for or obtaining their full potential &#8211; essentially letting profitable opportunities slip by.However, just because banks don&#8217;t see the true value of small companies, that does not mean that others don&#8217;t &#8211; others who are willing to do what they can to fund your business.The Benefits Of Small BusinessThere are some 22 million small businesses in the U.S. and they are quite the power house.According to the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, small businesses;Provide two-thirds of all new jobs in the nation.<br />
  200. Contribute almost 50% to our Gross Domestic Product.<br />
  201. Account for 97.8% of all exports. And,<br />
  202. Create 16.5% more innovation than larger firms.All items that help make America the country that it is.But, if banks think these firms are too risky, that is OK, because given the entrepreneurial spirit in this country, other financing firms (lenders) are stepping up to cover the small business loans that banks and traditional lenders will not. So now, you don&#8217;t have to be afraid of being turned down anymore.3 Sources That Will Fund Your Small Business1) SBA Loans: Sure, SBA loans have to go through banks &#8211; which are not lending. However, banks might not be lending for their own loan portfolios but they are lending under the SBA&#8217;s programs.Did you know that over the last three years, the SBA has been growing the number and dollar amount of the under $150,000 loans they back &#8211; even given that banks (who originate these products) are not approving them?From the latest SBA data;In 2012, the SBA guaranteed 14,520 under $150,000 loans for a total loan amount of over $802 million. In 2014 (two years later), the SBA increase the number of these loans to 16,043 with a total volume of $955 million &#8211; with a down year in 2013.Part of this increase is the fact that the SBA has reduced or waived its fees on these smaller loans. From the SBA&#8217;s website:&#8221;The SBA determined to eliminate the fees on loans of $150,000 or less after conducting a review of the 7(a) Loan Program. As a result, a small business owner obtaining a $150,000 loan will save more than $2,500.&#8221;Bottom line &#8211; the SBA is actually doing what it can to fund small businesses in this country &#8211; including yours.Programs to look for:The 7(a) program offers nearly any business loan under the sun from working capital to commercial real estate.The CDC/504 program only focuses on real estate and equipment lending. But, if your business needs either one of these under the $150,000 amount &#8211; including renovating your location &#8211; then by all means as this is a great program.And, the express program &#8211; which is capped at $350,000 &#8211; is a great program. Quick and easy access to needed capital.Now, for some quick benefits of SBA loans. The SBA&#8217;s guarantee does several things:By capping interest rates and fees, these products tend to be cheaper in the long-run for the borrower.<br />
  203. Lower down payment requirements &#8211; meaning that you can keep more of your own money in your own business.<br />
  204. Long loan terms also allow payments on these facilities to be more affordable. Just image which loan payment would be easier to make on a $100,000 loan at 10% interest. A bank may require the loan to be repaid in 36 months &#8211; making the monthly payment $3,227. While the SBA could extend the term to 6 years (72 months) making their monthly payment $1,853. The lower the payment amount, the easier it is to cover with current cash flow, making the overall loan less risky and easier to get approved.<br />
  205. Express programs can significantly speed up funding as some traditional business loans can take months to close while those under the express programs can be funded in the matter of weeks.If you have been fearful of applying for a SBA loan, knock it off and go apply!2) Alternative Lending: Alternative loans (non-bank loans) from factoring and business cash advances to revenue based loans have really picked up steam over the last 5 plus years.These lenders are focused solely on small businesses and as such have created products that allow them to approve more loans to companies that traditional lenders will not touch &#8211; by not using old and outdated underwriting standards but by focusing more on technology.Most alternative lenders &#8211; especially the leaders in this space &#8211; have seen their loan volumes (thus their approval rates) &#8211; increase by 150% or more year after year.A couple of examples: According to the SBA, their largest lender &#8211; Wells Fargo &#8211; approved and funded just over $266 million in small business financing last year. However, OnDeck Capital, a leading revenue based lender, nearly doubled that amount over the same period. Further, CAN Capital claims to have funded over $800 million in 2013 &#8211; far out pacing even the top 100 SBA lenders combined.While these loans are high-cost loans, they offer several benefits like approvals when other lenders say &#8220;no&#8221; as well as quick (in the matter of days) funding.3) New Players: Peer-to-peer lending is know for its ability to match regular people who have extra money to lend with regular people who need to borrow. These loans are typically personal loans that can be used for nearly any purpose &#8211; like starting or growing a small business.However, just this year, Lending Club &#8211; the leader in P2P lending &#8211; has begun to offer a true small business loan product where businesses can borrower anywhere from $15,000 to $100,000 at low rates. And, their approval and funding is not based on some standard cookie cutter formula that most businesses just do not meet but comes from regular people who listen to your story and decide for themselves the merit of your financing request.ConclusionCapital for your business is still available.Don&#8217;t always believe what you hear. Sure, small business lending is tight &#8211; when compared to the hey days of the mid-2000s. But, that does not mean that you still cannot get the funding your small business needs to start, grow and succeed.To truly know if your company is qualified for business loan all you have to do is one thing &#8211; and that is to apply. But, if you don&#8217;t apply, you will never know for sure and then all you can do is reflect on how far your business COULD have gone. </p>

  220. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Phew! That&#8217;s the word most people utter or gasp when trying to arrange everything on a last minute travel plan. Haywire would be the right word. Is there any house in the real world which has properly placed items, which you can easily find, when you want them?The answer would be in the negative, because nobody is responsible these days and just keep on misplacing the knife or screwdriver and what not. They become exasperated when it is not available at the most needed moment. When a last minute travel plan jumps right into your face, try not to panic- this is the first requirement not to muddle up things.When you are confused, your brain will not work clearly and you may forget many important papers or things. Relax and sit for a few moments- concentrate and try to make a list of what all things you may want to take.Take a convenient bag or suitcase which has many openings to keep your required items like toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, medicines [if you are having any], towels, undergarments [plenty, if you do not have the option to wash] etc;.A laptop is a necessity these days. EZAir is a device which will help transfer the graphics from a laptop to an HD monitor. There are no wires involved and presentations during business trips can be done very easily. There is also an extended monitor. Avail of the EZair coupon to get discounts.If anybody has not booked a ticket for travel, telephone an agency to do so. There are many with high quality service and they will get you one, even though you may have to pay through the roof to get one just hours before travel.Take water in a bottle because pure water is had to come by. Play it safe. Most importantly, turn off the gas knob, the electricity etc; to avoid accidents. Remove cable connections and unplug the television, computer, and the refrigerator [if you plan to be away for more than four days].Contact your nearest neighbors if they are trustworthy and ask them to keep an eye on your house or apartment. Ask the milkman and the newspaper agent not to continue service until further notice. Tell the local police of your trip and request them to keep a watch during their rounds. Double check all locked doors and windows, if possible have a door alarm fixed [earlier though]. Check the ticket once more and have a worry free happy journey.A last minute journey is always a pain in the neck, but if you are organized in your house, it will help you to pack instantly without any hassles as you would know where to find what.Emergency situations can spring any moment, so being organized and arranging clothes in your wardrobe would mean less clutter and valuable time will not be wasted trying to find a dress or some other item. Most people do not arrange their clothes and just shove it in. An organized person will not be upset at sudden turn of events, so let us all try to be so. Have a nice trip and enjoy without any worry. </p>

  235. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> When it comes to business, spending money on things with an unpromised, unspecified or uncertain return is a tough pill to swallow. Most business owners budget very carefully &#8211; they want to know what they&#8217;re spending their money on and why; how their money is working for them. Marketing is one of those gray areas where, especially for the not-totally-new-school business owner, it can be difficult to grasp the concept of allocating large amounts of dollars toward something you only hope will work in the end.That&#8217;s why a business mindset of scarcity is much more common than one of abundance &#8211; because when the results are unpredictable, it&#8217;s easier to just stick with what you&#8217;ve got. But instead of asking, &#8220;what will marketing cost me?&#8221; more business owners are exploring the possibilities that emerge when they ask, &#8220;what will marketing make me?&#8221; And I&#8217;m here to tell you.The reason why more companies (and small businesses in particular) are opening up their minds &#8211; and their wallets &#8211; to a new way of thinking is because they have most likely found at least one of the following five things to be true:1. Marketing Makes You MoneySure, marketing costs money. But it&#8217;s not supposed to be a blindfolded spend frenzy. If you know enough about marketing to test the waters with some high-value organic techniques that will get you a lot of mileage, then go for it, by all means. This will help inform your strategy down the road so that you have an idea of the areas where you need help, and so that you can reasonably predict your marketing expenditure.However, if you seek the advice of a professional, the right marketer will set your mind at ease by not expecting you to dump huge amounts of money into their accounts up front and by explaining each strategy they propose, as well as why they&#8217;re priced the way they are. Then they&#8217;ll put together a quote which should not only align with your goals, but illustrate the anticipated return in proportion to the suggested spend.Let&#8217;s face it, &#8216;marketing&#8217; is a broad term but, in essence, the purpose of any marketing strategy is to get you found. Your product or service will only make you money if it is used by people, and awareness precedes use, wouldn&#8217;t you say? Whether you employ digital marketing methods such as building a great website, blogging, email marketing, social media, and paid ads; or go old-school with direct mail, circular ads, door-to-door advertising, and cold-calling, the intent is the same: get people to buy from you.Marketing, when done right, should bring opportunities to your sales force, traffic to your website, and rings to your phone. Ask yourself: if you don&#8217;t have a website, then how are you getting found? How long will your current strategy be sustainable? Will it help you grow? If you have a website but it&#8217;s not bringing you business, then it isn&#8217;t working. Word of mouth success is wonderful, but do you have a plan in place for customer retention and acquisition? The answer shouldn&#8217;t be &#8220;how much will marketing cost me?&#8221; but rather, &#8220;how much do I want to make and how can marketing get me there?&#8221;2. Marketing Makes You ReputableHow many times have you visited an establishment based on a word-of-mouth recommendation from a friend? Probably quite a few. Ever been somewhere really fantastic that you wouldn&#8217;t have otherwise selected if not for a positive review? Exactly! It doesn&#8217;t matter if people love your business if they&#8217;re not spreading the word, and a digital presence makes it much easier for your great reviews to be found by the masses. Publishing testimonials and success stories on your website is a wonderful way to market yourself and show prospects that they can trust your brand just like other customers have. Furthermore, getting yourself listed on well-known and highly trafficked directory sites makes it easy for people to do their homework before they buy &#8211; which is an integral part of the customer satisfaction experience.3. Marketing Makes You CredibleNot to be confused with reputation, credibility is a major factor in many buyers&#8217; decisions. How do you distinguish yourself from competitors? What makes you more of an expert on your particular field or subject area? What sets your product apart? Well, don&#8217;t tell me &#8211; tell the world! You need a platform from which you can showcase your skills, expertise, or must-have product.Blogging and social media marketing are excellent ways to use your own unique voice to educate buyers and demonstrate thought leadership without always delivering an overtly hard sell. People like information, and they&#8217;re more likely to trust you if the information you provide is relevant to their problems, needs and experiences in such a way that makes them want to come back and keep getting information from you (instead of just hearing your sales pitch and then leaving to continue shopping around elsewhere). This is especially vital for less well-known companies that don&#8217;t have as much publicized feedback or presence. In order to stand up against your competitors, you must demonstrate credibility.4. Marketing Makes You AccessibleIt&#8217;s one thing to have a website. But if you&#8217;re just starting out or if no one knows your name, it&#8217;s not enough to just have a website. How are you driving traffic to that website? Waiting and hoping are not measurable techniques that deliver results. You need a strategy, and you need SEO.Maybe you&#8217;ve heard of search engine optimization (surely you&#8217;ve used that little thing called Google). Basically, SEO is tied into the design and function of your website so that search engines (like Google) can display your content to people who are looking for related information. If your website isn&#8217;t optimized, then it&#8217;s just sitting there. Sure, someone can type your URL and probably even search for your business name on Google &#8211; if they know your name. But if you&#8217;ve got a niche product or service or you&#8217;re brand new to an area, no one will know to do that. You need your company or product to pop up in the search results whenever someone types in &#8220;Philadelphia wedding photographer,&#8221; or &#8220;men&#8217;s custom tailored vintage suits&#8221; (you get the idea).5. Marketing Makes You AttractiveThis should be self-explanatory. Let&#8217;s be honest, we do tend to judge books by their covers, and we are (even if ever so slightly) biased toward companies &#8211; and people &#8211; who present themselves well. Marketing and branding are all around you. If you&#8217;re anything like me, you&#8217;re a sucker for the pretty packaging in the cosmetics aisle at Target (or the highly visible promise of a product that does it all, is portable, and comes with a warranty).The same goes for your brand identity, whether you&#8217;re a large organization or a music teacher! The way you present yourself to the masses will play an important role in the amount of opportunity that converts to business. Online presence is becoming so important that it&#8217;s almost unacceptable to have a sub-par website. For people who still use business cards (and who aren&#8217;t constrained by corporate marketing guidelines), being memorable and capturing someone&#8217;s attention with a 3.5-inch piece of paper requires some creativity. What&#8217;s on the cover is not always a measure of what&#8217;s inside, but the cover should at least make someone want to open the book. The way your business appears to others is a reflection of the way your business will eventually appear to your banker.Lack of Marketing Costs You EverythingShort of quoting JFK for emphasis, there&#8217;s really no other way I can say it (you got it, right? Please tell me you got it). Don&#8217;t wait around doing cost analysis and pinching pennies. While you&#8217;re doing that, your competition is outperforming you. A marketing strategy doesn&#8217;t have to cost thousands. Figure out what you can spend and shop around. Start small: any improvement is a good investment. You can always scale up when your initial investment pays off.Of course, marketing isn&#8217;t the only ingredient for success. You should also deliver great customer service, quality, value, and purpose. Marketing attracts customers, but it&#8217;s your responsibility to keep them around. Remember &#8211; the internet provides complete freedom of speech. Once you build a presence, it will be just as easy for people to find negative feedback about you if it exists. In this way, let a marketing strategy hold you accountable to your business for stepping up your game in every way. You owe it to your company, and perhaps even your livelihood.So, in short, become easy to find, add content that makes people glad they found you, let the world know how satisfied your customers are, and present your business in the most appealing way possible and you&#8217;ll see why a focused marketing strategy pays off more than sticking to the status quo. You and your business can become these five things and more &#8211; just embrace it! </p>
