  by Dr. Jeffrey Lant When I was growing up, America's opinions were shaped by a handful of influential people whose advice on any subject under the sun (but usually national affairs and politics) could be read, first, in newspapers... then heard on the radio and television. These are great names, masters of pungent comments, wry humor, intelligent observations,  and refined styles all their own. Here is my (partial) Honor Roll... one could add many others, the very best of the very best: Westbrook Pegler of the United Press (died 1969). H.L. Mencken of the Baltimore Sun (died 1956). Edward R. Murrow of CBS (died 1965). Walter Winchell of New York Daily Mirror (died 1972). Paul Harvey of ABC (died 2009). And now another name, destined for greatness and the prosperity that generally accompanies i...

The WORST Landing Page Design Mistakes. Know them and avoid them!

By Sandi Hunter A landing pages is a powerful way to generate leads for a product, service or company. Landing pages are a far more effective way of getting leads than promoting your website. To get those leads your Landing page must adhere to these sure-fire rules of marketing. Here's what you need to know to get the maximum results from your landing pages. Most Common Mistakes 1. Boring headline. Your headline must POP off the page with motivating words that will get the viewer's attention. You want to get their attention then draw them in to keep them reading. Headlines should be bold, easy to read, colorful and make an IMMEDIATE eye-grabbing impact. 2. Too fancy. Fire your designer if they rely heavily on graphics and flash. Even video is sometimes not appropriate. You do not need your landing page to match your website. Landing pages do not need to be animated, blinking, jumping or annoying. Simple is best. Your Landing page has one purpose, and one purpose only - to gene...

Four things successful business people will do today... that you won't!

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant Friend, let's get one thing straight from the get-go. Successful people are going to do things today that you won't. Read this, and you'll discover what they are. 1) Successful people don't just let today happen.... they plan for today... yesterday! What did you do before you left your office yesterday? If you're successful, you planned your success for today, determining your clear objectives and laying out the documents, materials, and other things you need. In other words, you knew what you'd need, and you had it readily at hand so you could, without special effort, pick up first thing today what you so carefully planned.... yesterday. Organization, a constant focus on time management and efficiency, not caffeine , are what the successful bring to the table. They cannot and do not consider yesterday concluded... until it is organized as the spring board to a successful today. 2) Email a stupendous offer just before you leave your work. W...

Superior blog content makes you money. Here's how to write like a pro.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant Blogs have swept the Internet. EVERY smart person either has one or is working hard to create one asap. This means you! I'm here to deliver the blog content you must have and are (right now) clueless about creating. Let's dig in and solve that problem right now. A blog is not a soliloquy, a tirade, or a soap box. A blog is a conversation started by you. And like all conversations it takes two to tango. Sadly, most people are lousy conversationalists. They do not converse, back and forth. Rather, they talk at people, mistaking the fact that they are pumping out words to beat the band for a keenly felt desire to hear what the other person has to say. These are selfish communicators... and they can never produce the results you must have to make your blog worthwhile. Blogs work because they are interactive... and this means creating content that gets results while always urging your readers to respond. But let's be honest with each other. You're not at ...

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant Hear ye, hear ye! Blogs are the hottest thing on the 'net. You know it... and you've done the necessary to set yours up and publish, right? Out it goes... then... nothing. Not a peep from any reader. That's bad, real bad. That's why I'm here -- to help you achieve maximum blog success. As you're reading along with this article, think Cole Porter's peppy little number, "Friendship" (from "Was a lady," 1939) because that's what this article is, a friend helping a friend achieve maximum success online, this time with your blog. Interactivity is the key. Blogs work when they're interactive, that is when you get your audience/readers to respond. And why do you want them to respond? Because blog readers who respond are the very best customer prospects there are, that's why. Moreover if you're smart, you want to monetize your blog just as quickly as possible, right from the get-go... so that every time you p...
