A few days ago I posted information about SBI (the complete online business building service that is not hype and really works).

One of the things I mentioned was how the company that provides SBI (Sitesell.com) continually surveys both potential customers and users to find ways to offer more convincing evidence.

What holds people back from buying? Uncertainty - of course. Risk - yes. Sounds too good to be true. That one is perhaps the toughest to deal with for online advertising. What convinces people to buy?<< MORE >>

Twitter just celebrated it's 5th birthday. It's surprising to me that it has been around that long, but perhaps that is because it seems Twitter has hit its stride in the past couple of years. Not too many people were familiar with it before that. Now they boast 200 million users and more than 100 million tweets a day! << MORE >>

Did you know that today is both Albert Einstein's birthday and the day some math fans (and other "geeky" folks) consider Pi day. You know, Pi, as in the nubmer 3.14 that really stretches in decimals to infinity and is the ratio of the circumference to diameter of a circle.

March 14 is considered Pi day because the date is 3/14 (get it?). But not everybody thinks Pi is the best number to use for the calculation of a circle's diameter. Some are pusing for 6.28, the twice times Pi as a better ... << MORE >>

Living the Solution has been an online presence and destination for the spiritual seeker since 2002. Over the years I've added a lot of content and the site has expanded and evolved.

Now the site has a face lift - and in the process a contraction of content. I've written many articles, reviews, commentaries and reflections over the years. It is not only a labor of love - it is an online documentation of my spiritual journey. << MORE >>

I'm sure you've heard the expression, "Think globally, act locally". I've noticed a growing trend on the Internet towards having people report on the news in their local areas. Examiner.com uses this model, and certainly anyone who passes along newsworthy information via Twitter or Facebook is doing something similar.

Patch.com is a site (owned by AOL) that let's you be a journalist of sorts to report on what is happening in ... << MORE >>

Ted Williams used to be the name associated with one of the all time greatest baseball players. But now a down and out homeless man by that name may have found "the ticket" to a new life.

Ted Williams - the homeless guy and reportedly former radio announcer - was caught on video and posted to YouTube where it quickly went viral. Ted has been a victim of drugs/alcohol/bad luck, but now says he's clean and sober two years and he's got a terrific announcing voice. He would panhandle and do some "radio style delivery". ... << MORE >>

These days the competition among internet marketers is pretty fierce. And it can be a huge turnoff dealing with all the slick and "sounds too good to be true" hypsters.

But there are some good, hardworking and reputable marketers. Witness Lori Shaw and Xtramark . She and her co-horts (she works with a variety of talent tailored to a client's needs) present themselves as "not your typical ad agency or bunch of web geeks". But savvy they are about marketing and the web.

I love the sense ... << MORE >>

SiteSell's SBI (an incredible way to build a web business) continues to give the best bang for the buck. And they market very effectively, mostly by SBI users, but also through social media, such as their videos posted at YouTube.

Take a look to see how you can build your own online business.

Who is the most influential person online? Whoever might get that title will have a heavy burden. Let's face it, as rapidly as things change in the Online Universe, being recognized as the most influential online person is probably less than fifteen minutes of fame.

Or maybe not. But I do find a certain amount of humor in Fast Company creating a project to give us the opportunity to name the most influential online person of 2010 (rapid change...fast company). It's called the Influence Project .
