What’s The Big Deal About Black?

Admin on February 5th, 2010

I attended a funeral service today and it got me thinking about the color black.  You guessed it.  Most everyone was wearing black to the standing room only service.  So was I.

Is it because black has no joy?

It can’t be that.  If you’d ever seen my wife in some of her black outfits you’d know what I mean.  She looks outstanding.  Especially with her lovely green eyes.

No, it can’t be that.

Black is a serious color, though.  Most everyone would agree with that.

Then I started to think about “black hat” tactics in internet marketing.

“Black Hat” tactics are ones that cross some ethical or legal line to produce their results, as opposed to the “White Hat” tactics that are pure in every way.

This brings us to “Grey Hat” tactics that lie somewhere in the middle and cause the biggest debate.  They can get you in trouble too, even if they might be legal.

The problem is that you may be slipping into the grey areas of marketing without even realizing it.  Ignorance, in this case, is definitely NOT bliss.

It can cost you a lot in lost business and damage to your reputation.

This is why it is so important to know how to market effectively and stay totally “White Hat” all the way.

Twitter is a powerful marketing tool that can cut both ways and either help or hurt your reputation and business.

This is just one of the reasons I wanted to interview the top Twitter Marketers.

I know some people are attracting a lot of new customers using Twitter and building a following of people that know, like, and trust them.  Others have fallen on the face with Twitter and have lots of people talking about them in not a good way.

I wanted to know how to market effectively with Twitter and also know what pitfalls I needed to avoid.

That’s why I formed the Tweet Success Club and started interviewing the top minds in the field.

I grilled then on:

  • what to do to get lots of targeted followers
  • how to turn those followers into paying customers
  • what to never ever do to avoid problems
  • what the best and worst Twitter tools are
  • how to combine the very best tools into an automated system

This information has been so valuable to me that I thought of charging for it.  I considered maybe $1,997, and that would be a bargain for many business owners who would be happy to pay it to get access to the combined knowledge and experience of these top Twitter experts.

I considered slashing the price to $997 or even as low as $497, but then decided against it.

This information is so valuable and so important for every single business owner and entrepreneur to have…

…I decided to give it away.

I realize this may be a crazy idea, and maybe I’ll change my mind.

The site may already be taken down by the time you read this.  Go there right now and see for yourself.

Lee Iacocca Speaks Out On Obama

Admin on February 2nd, 2010

I just received this in an email and thought you might enjoy it or hate it.

Lee Iacocca Speaks Out On Obama

Just as true today as it was when his book first came out.He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman!

Often we need to be reminded of Iococca’s words.Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes?  He’s now 82 years old and has a new book, ‘Where Have All The Leaders Gone?’.

Lee Iacocca Says:

‘Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We’ve got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers’ money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, ‘trust me the economy is getting better..’

Better? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, ‘Titanic’. I’ll give you a sound bite: ‘Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama!’

You might think I’m getting senile, that I’ve gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore..

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs.. While we’re fiddling in  Afghanistan  ,  Iran  is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving ‘pom-poms’ instead of asking hard questions. That’s not the promise of the ‘ America ‘ my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I’ve had enough. How about you?

I’ll go a step further. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. The Biggest ‘C’ is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C’s of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It’s easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else’s kids off to war when you’ve never seen a battlefield yourself. It’s another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001, we needed a  strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here’s where we stand.

We’re immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.  But our soldiers are dying daily.

We’re running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it’s getting worse every day!

We’ve lost the manufacturing edge to  Asia  , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas prices are going to skyrock again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem.  This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.

Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teacher’s union.

Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegals amnesty and free healthcare.

The middle class is being squeezed to death every day.

These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you’ve got to ask: ‘Where have all the leaders gone?’ Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We’ve spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Everyone’s hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them.  Now, that’s just crazy.. Deal with life.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when ‘The Big Three’ referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama did about it!

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving theenergy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn’t elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don’t you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I’m not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here.  I’m trying to light a fire. I’m speaking out because I have hope – I believe in America . In my lifetime, I’ve had the privilege of living through some of   America ’s greatest moments. I’ve also experienced some of our worst crises: The ‘Great Depression,’ ‘World War  II,’ the ‘Korean War,’ the ‘Kennedy Assassination,’ the ‘Vietnam War,’ the 1970’s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11.

Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. It’s our country, folks, and it’s our future. Our future is at stake!!

So did you love it or hate it?
