The US Navy blogs. Larry Kudlow of CNBC blogs. I’d say “everybody and their brother” except (1) it’s a cliche and (2) it may be grammatically inaccurate. Dan Rather is only too aware that everybody blogs.
But just as blogging and the blogosphere have become widely accepted, blammo–along comes podcasting.
Just what is podcasting? Literally, it’s broadcasts meant to be played as MP3 files on an iPod or other MP3 player.

Let me ask you a question. What is the most important thing in running a business? Well, obviously selling. Right? Wrong! This is like stating that the most important thing in life, its purpose, is breathing.
Yes, you need to breath to survive, to live, but breathing is not the most important thing it is a prerequisite. Unless you have found a purpose in life you won’t reach your goals because you have none.

Question: Can you guess the cheapest way to make a sale?
Answer: Sell to the customer that just bought from you!
All successful salespeople have one thing in common: They know how to make sales “after the sale”. There are many costs associated with finding a buying customer. Selling is not a cheap endeavor. This is why it makes sense to really go after add-on sales.

Gartner estimates that half of the 5.5 trillion emails sent in 2001 was business related.
Email has already taken over as the businesses’ main communication channel. What most people have failed to learn is, manners online is more important than basic social manners. In front of the monitor, your audience would not be able to judge you on your new Hugo Boss suit, your body scent, tone of your voice, nor the little gestures. Good language skills and proper email guidelines are important to ensure that your message gets across.
