The Marketing message: So what’s in it for me?

Gideon Shalwick, is an experienced and widely known internet marketer and author, who recently shared a confronting lesson he had. This bears reposting here as it has something for everyone.

He says when you get to a certain level in your profession or calling, you become so “advanced” in your knowledge and experience that you often forget the basics of what it is that makes you truly successful.

After sending some marketing material to his newsletter subscriber list, feedback from a friend quite directly pointed out to him that his message lacked substance with “nothing in it me”.

From this sobering learning he decided to create a short video to share and discuss how to be more effective, where you actually touch peoples lives in a real way!

His reflections also beg of those who watch his video, to ask of themselves  “Do I make the same mistake and if so, what can I do to correct it?”

In his typically open and generous style, Gideon also gives excellent tips on how to use video to great effect.  Watch and enjoy!

Who’s not on internet & why not?

Travelling around the net and its inter-pipes as we do, we tend now to take it all for granted. Even the colloquia defines its omnipresence.

But recently when I emailed a link to a friend to subscribe to my blog, she replied.  “I need to research how to do that”

My thought was “Oh dear, how often we take so much for granted”

As we live in a busy business world it seems we are totally dominated by the digital presence not even a decade old. The truth is, for many “The Internet” is  barely understood and is used only in limited ways.

Certainly no one asks what the internet is anymore. But unlike the telephone and television that is all pervasive and taken for granted, it still has a long way to go.
