Have you watched the popular TV show Shark Tank?  It was born from a show in England called Dragons Den, where entrepreneurs pitch investors to fund their big idea.  It’s a great show, I love it, and one of the viewers of my show was recently featured on Shark Tank with their healthy snack, Ice Chips candy, made from Xylitol.  I’m a big fan of what they’re doing.

If you’re a mature adult (as in, in your 60′s) is Internet marketing for you?  That’s the question posed by a viewer this week.  You may find my answer surprising.

Now, one of my pet peeves is not being able to reach customer service by phone, and I’ve discovered a resource that I think you’ll find quite useful.  Finally, the big marketing lesson for this episode is from Samsung, a company whose electronics products have taken the world by storm.  They’re one of the largest and most successful consumer electronics businesses in the world, and I’ll talk about something they do that you can imitate in your small business.

Thanks as always to Isabelle Mercier for her practical information about branding your small business.

The Izze video I took with my iPhone went viral on YouTube (did you see it?)  Finally I received a report back from Pepsi, who own Izze, and they acknowledged that a tiny airhole in the can caused the contents to go mouldy.  Ewww, nasty.  Well, we finally got to the bottom of what the nasty substance was in the Izze can.

Our viewer question in this episode is all about whether to self-publish a book, or go the traditional route of seeking an arrangement with a publisher.  Have you been down that road?  If so, share your experience below.

I have a nifty click resource for you to help you find in stock tech items, it was handy when I recently needed to get a new iMac.

The BIG marketing lesson is from James Bond 007.  The most recent movie, Skyfall is awesome, did you see it?  And the marketers promoting the movie did a masterful job (how’s that for alliteration)?  I’ll discuss it with you at the end of this episode.

Thank you to Isabelle Mercier for her fine information about branding your business.

I wanted to share with you some of our experiences at Disney World, from the trip I did with my mastermind group.
I think you’ll find the Disney difference quite extraordinary – it’s all in the details.

Our viewer question concerns article marketing.  Can you distribute the same article to multiple article sites, or is that
considered ‘spamming’?  I’ll share the answer with you.

I have a great resource for you to get hand drawn animations created, it’s pretty nifty.

The BIG marketing lesson is from ColdEeze, which you may be familiar with.  They put an insert in their product that
does a great job of marketing.

I just got back from taking my magical marketing mastermind group to Disney World, for a behind the scenes tour, which was awesome.  I was also in New York recently where Luci and I came across a great restaurant that used an app that monitored guests who were waiting for a table.  Have you experienced any innovations at local restaurants?  Share them in the comments below, I’d love to hear from you.

Our viewer question is all about how to get known in a local market.  My key advice is to become a celebrity expert.  But how do you do that?  Watch the episode to find out.

The BIG marketing lesson is all about The Dollar Shave Club.  Have you seen their commercial?  The video has gone viral.  Watch it, and you’ll soon see why.

Did you see my video about the Izze soda can on YouTube?  It had well over 140,000 views at the time I recorded this episode.  You can hear the whole story in this episode, along with the reaction from Izze, which is a Pepsi company.

Also in this episode, I have lots more marketing tips and lessons to help you grow your small business.  Enjoy ;)

This is another travel episode, this time featuring Australia and Fiji.  I was doing some speaking engagements in Australia so Luci and I decided to explore a little while we were there.  Admittedly, there’s not a lot of marketing
lessons in this episode, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.  My aim is to show some insights into Australia and Fiji
that you wouldn’t normally see.

On this trip, we visited Sydney, Cairns, Adelaide, The Great Ocean Road, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Fiji.

This episode begins with a discussion of Superbowl ads.  There’s a lot of hype in the build up to the first reveal of the ads.  Which ones were your favorites?  Which were the duds?

Many people get involved in MLM aka networking marketing businesses at some time in their lives.  But how do you promote that type of business effectively, and without relying on / annoying family and friends?

Our BIG marketing lesson is from Samsung.  They’ve innovated a new way to teach you how to use your new Samsung cellphone.  It’s one of those ‘why didn’t i think of that’ moments.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Jim Cockrum has been helping small business owners for many years, and I personally have the utmost respect for what he does, and how he does it.  He’s one of the good guys, and his latest project solidifies that.  All proceeds
from his new book are going to a terrific charity, Hope Village Detroit, that helps young entrepreneurs.  The book is titled: “Free Marketing: 101 Low and No Cost Ways to Grow Your Business Online and Off.

In this interview, which was conducted over Skype, we discuss:

> Jim’s background as an eBay advisor

> How to be an expert in your niche

> How to be a great leader, and guard your character

> Interacting with your customers effectively

> An unconventional way to deal with BOTH unhappy but reasonable customers and habitual complainers

> Why Zappos irrational policies work so effectively both for customers and employees

> The ‘one marshmallow now’ principle

> The book “Predictably Irrational” by Dan Ariely

> Why content is King, especially to build a list, and an audience

> How Jim Cockrum got Dave Ramsey to endorse and promote Jim’s new book: “Free Marketing”

> The power and importance of outsourcing.

> Why business concepts are more important than skills.

I strongly encourage you to get this book by Jim Cockrum for 2 reasons: (a) It’s great information that you can use, and (b) all proceeds are going to a phenomenal charity that helps young entrepreneurs. Click here to get the book: Free Marketing.

In this economy the small business needs all the help it can get, and thankfully there’s a new resource from Rich Christiansen, prolific successful entrepreneur and author.  Rich has a new book for anyone with an idea or a dream.  It’s called “The Zig Zag Principle”.  If you already have a small business, you’ll find plenty of good advice on how to structure your business in a way that ensures fast and consistent profits.

The Zig Zag Principle confronts most business books head-on. Where most books give you a straight, rigid path to follow; this one permits you to squirrel chase. It’s like no business book you’ve ever read.

Zig Zagging is a unique way to set goals, rewards, and boundaries. One of the most unique skills Rich teaches in the book is how to fail. “Failing efficiently is vital. If you’re going to fail, why drag it out? Recognize it, admit it, lick your wounds, and move onto your next venture.”

Rich Christiansen has started 33 business. 11 were failures, but 11 grew into multimillion-dollar successes. His experience and passion for business can help you too.

Once again we have a live studio audience of small business owners in this episode.  First up, Twinings tea are in trouble for replacing Earl Grey tea with a new blend called THE Earl Grey, which many customers apparently strongly dislike.  Reminds me of New Coke – remember that debacle back in the 1980′s?  Public feeling was so strong that within 3 months ‘original’ coke aka Classic Coke was reintroduced and New Coke was abandoned.

Our viewer question in this episode is all about how to sell advertising on a portal style site.  Learn about ‘modeling’ what other successful online business owners have done, and you can apply this lesson to your own business, regardless of the niche you’re in.

Everyone needs to convert files from one format to another at some point – a PSD to a JPG, a PDF to a Word document, an AVI to an MPEG2, and so on.  A nifty tool I’ve been using is Online-Convert, which takes the hassles out of the process, handles it all online, and best of all, is completely free.

Our BIG marketing lesson in this episode of “Help! My Business Sucks!” is from Sit n Sleep, a mattress chain in California.  I’ve noticed their TV ads for awhile, and I’m impressed by how they market their products.  This lesson relates to one particular TV commercial they’ve been using – it’s a very powerful visual, and you can adapt the principle for your business.

Every business owner wants to be noticed more, to make more sales, and the fundamental requirement is of course marketing.  I’ll share some specific tips that you can adapt for your industry, that will help you stand out from the crowd.

Outsourcing is a hot topic these days and I want to help you get more done, so I share a great outsourcing resource that has similarities with Fiverr, which I featured in episode 100.  Remember?  Sure you do.

I start this episode by sharing a situation I encountered recently when buying a mount for my plasma TV.  When browsing the local stores, there were many choices, and only one option stood out.  Find out why I bought it, because it’s an interesting marketing principle you can use in your small business.

This week’s viewer question is via video, and relates to how people view your website when they first load the page.  I suggest some tweaks that I hope you can take advantage of in your Internet business.

Do you like saving money? I do, which is why I share a popular resource to enable you to do just that in your local region, on all kinds of products and services.

This week’s BIG marketing lesson is from Virgin Media, a UK company that provides all kinds of utilities under one umbrella.  Their marketing is a shining example of what you SHOULD do when communicating with your customers.  See if you can identify with the obvious mistake that most businesses make by comparison.
