Candidate? You're Probably Doing it Wrong.
Colin Delany of ePolitics said “Without the Internet, Barack Obama would still be the junior Senator from Illinois…a young man with a funny name and a couple of years in the Senate might run honorably, but would most certainly lose.”
Some candidates have a website and a Facebook page and they call it their “Social Media Political Campaign.” And if you are a candidate or elected official, and that describes you, all I can say is “Call Me…Call Me Today!” In January 2011, there were over 266,848,493 websites on the internet. To be found and seen on the internet takes a plan, and the effort is a lot bigger than just putting up a website and posting to Facebook.

Disasters happen. Nearly all of us have either been personally affected by a natural disaster or know of someone personally who has. As horrific as the ‘day of disaster’ is, for many people, it is the following days, weeks, months or longer that bears witness to the real disaster. We frequently see the stories from people hit by a natural disaster who say, “I’ve lost everything; I don’t know what I am going to do.”
However, there are things we can do, prior to the disaster, that can minimize the long-term consequence of being struck by a disaster. With a little planning and preparation, there are several things that can be done to enable the process of ‘starting over’ to be of much less pain.
The purpose of the Preparedness Assessment is to help you see how prepared you currently are in seven critical areas of life.

14 Million People used QR codes in June 2011
QR Codes vs Smart Tags. Both have their place in marketing and in retail.
What’s a QR Code? I consider it to be a new and improved bar code. There are free apps galore for your smart phone to read them.

Last month, for the first time ever, Google reported that more searches were made thru Google by mobile devices (mostly smart phones), than by home/business/land based computers. If your business and your webpage are not mobile ready, you may be missing some business.

Don’t You Wish Your Website Ranked #1 in Your Industry?
You have a 1 in 1 million chance of being struck by lightning this year, but only a 1 in 2,320,000 of being killed by that lightning strike.
Your chances of winning a multi-state lottery like Powerball is 120 million to 1. But don’t despair. Your chances of winning the Texas lottery is only 18 million to 1. icon smile Your Website
Now, with the current total of websites in the world at just slightly over 1 Trillion (and growing), what do you think the odds are that a person searching for your industry, your product, your store, etc., will find you? If you said “not very good or zero”, you are correct. If you are not listed in the top 10 results as returned by Google, chances are that you will never be seen.
Top 10 results mean that you will be on the first page of the results. Anything over 10 means that you will be on page 2, page 4 or page 364,102, who knows! Anyway, if you want to be seen by your customers, there a http://bit.ly/q4mO71

Because Traditional Media has become so expensive and gets less results, is it any wonder that companies are looking for new solutions? New Media, combined with Traditional Marketing methods can double, triple and often amaze you with the results.
There is not much worse than spending $1,000 or $2,000 on an ad campaign in any of the above listed traditional advertising methods, and getting dismal results. But, when you combine some of the latest strategies, like mobile marketing, social media posting and support, effective keyword ranking, etc., your return on your advertising investment skyrockets, usually at a cheaper cost for the overall ad program. http://bit.ly/or4FOl
