I love the Walking Dead on AMC! It gets harder and harder to wait for Sunday to roll around, and now it is on a short holiday hiatus, I find myself going to Netflix to watch old episodes to make sure I didn't miss anything.

So, for all you zombie/walkers/biters lovers here is an Infographic that is guaranteed to help you survive the next few weeks without our favorite show. It's designed to bring you up to date as well as explain who is who on the program. And while you're at it, if you're a marketer notice how the branding has been established as well as how quickly anything that has to do with the Walking Dead TV show on AMC goes viral (hint, hint.) Enjoy! Brought to you by Marketing Software by Marketo
The decisions we have to make in life are hard sometimes. That’s what makes life so hard, the choices we must make in order to move on. Take for instance the breakdown of a friendship. No one wants to go through it because it causes mental pain, from unanswered questions. Like why did they betray me like this, why did they talk to me like that, etc. When we put our trust in other humans we are bound to experience disappointment. That’s just how it is. My mother once told me that no one will treat you as good as you will treat yourself. She didn’t lie. Because humans are creatures of habits we don’t want to dissolve a friendship, we want to give it another shot, another chance just on the off chance the other person has changed. But when we give it another chance, that’s when more stress, mental pain, and further disappointment comes in because that other person thinks you’re a sucker, or a fool. The other person has shown you who they are, and yet you are coming back for more. When yo...

Next to Christmas, back to school shopping is my favorite shopping season. Back to school shopping signals the end of summer vacation and time for the kids to go back to school. My kids obviously never shared my enthusiasm. Going back to school to them was similar to a prison sentence. But for me, back to school shopping meant I had survived another summer. Here's an INFOGRAPHIC about planning for back to school shopping as well as some of the top things on your kid's back to school wish list. Courtesy of: Retails BIG Blog
Network marketers quit one home based business opportunity and start another one all the time. They get frustrated because the reality sets in that owning a home based business is hard work and most people quit early because they don't see returns on their investment soon enough. One thing you have to remember is to become your own cheerleader. Talk yourself into doing what you need to do everyday. Encourage yourself to keep going even if you don't make any sales today or sign up any new distributors. Sometimes when you're tempted to give up, you can hang in there by taking things a moment at a time. Rather than worrying about what comes tomorrow or the day after, just focus on getting through this day - or even one little moment at a time. Keep repeating to yourself, "Right NOW I will not quit. Quitting never finds a winner; and winners never, ever quit. There are lots of network marketing/MLM opportunities available. But you will never be successful if you...
Banks usually struggle with the implementation of a strong social media campaign that does not impinge on customer privacy while also operating within the confines of FDIC regulations. There is a case study about this issue with Yampa Valley Bank . They overcame industry uncertainty and fears of social media by focusing on personalized attention given to customers and designed a YouTube and Facebook presence on this platform.
If and when you make the decision to become a home based business owner, you must understand one simple and constant fact: It takes money to make money. It doesn't matter if you're selling Avon (it costs to get started); or if you want to be a Mary Kay sales rep and one day drive a pink car, there is a cost to do that. So, don't let an excuse that it costs money or that it looks like a pyramid scheme hold you back from pursuing your dreams! Mary Kay, Avon, even companies like Nike have levels. These are levels or management positions you earn by doing a good job. That's not a pyramid scheme, at least you don't call them pyramid schemes; instead you call them promotions! It is the same way with VidaCup, it is free to join, but you need to buy your product samples so you can pass out those samples to other coffee lovers. And believe me there are no shortage of coffee lovers. There are over 2 billion cups of coffee drank everyday in the world and "The aver...

Here are some great tips to making your landscaping regimen a breeze. Using your Pennington Smart Feed Sprayer System, if you follow these tips, you'll have the most gorgeous lawn and garden in your neighborhood. All your neighbors will be jealous! 1. Try not to use a lot of beds and borders that will need weeding and edging. 2. If you have places where you have planting beds, use an ample amount of mulch to keep weeds away and to minimize the amount of time you spend watering. 3. Make your beds narrow enough so that you can reach them easily, but not so narrow that plants continually outgrow their boundaries. 4. Strategize and streamline your garden care by grouping plants together according to their treatment requirements. 5. When you're creating a path, keep in mind to make them wide enough to negotiate with wheelbarrows and other large-scale tools. 6. Finally, select gardening tools that will make your tasks easy and speed up garden chores. These are just a ...
Facebook's Social Graph has been rolled out to the public now and personally, I don't like it. I liked being able to search in the old search bar method and find people and things I didn't know existed. With the Social Graph, it is an individual users' nightmare, while it is helpful to marketers. But, one thing that most people don't know about Facebook's Social Graph is that it diminishes your privacy. Now is the time to learn how to manage your privacy controls on Facebook. If you want to keep some things in your life personal, set your privacy controls to 'friends only.' There are many employers who use social networks to do background research on potential candidates. Having that photo of you and your crew throwing back Tequila shots may not be the first impression you want to give to a potential employer. There are 97,000 photos on Facebook, make sure any pictures you're tagged in don't embarrass you. Make sure you set your priva...
With so much being debated in the mainstream media, coffee shops, hair salons and wherever you go about gun control and the right to own a gun, it makes me wary to even post this INFOGRAPHIC. Warning: This graphic is not for or against gun control. I am simply providing a graphic as a resource. No opinions are expressed by the author, only those opinions that make it into the comment jar below LOL. Make your own decisions, you have been warned!
PayDay loans are good and bad. Good because when paid back in full on time, they can help you meet financial needs when you come up short. However, when you borrow a PayDay loan, make sure you can pay it off in full when it is due, if not, you may end up paying up to 300% interest rates on the loans. Ouch! Sounds like a loan shark. Well, because of that high interest rate, some states have banned PayDay loans altogether. This INFOGRAPHIC shows which states have said no to PayDay loans. See if your state is on the graphic. This infographic was made by the team at loans.org
I was pleasantly surprised when my free bottle of Lysol Touch of Foam Antibacterial Hand Wash arrived. First off, it was my favorite scent, lavender, then the fact that it was foamy upon dispensing, as opposed to liquid, was a nice twist on an old idea. Lysol products are trusted in my household because as a child, my mother only used Lysol products, especially Lysol Concentrate Disinfectant. So naturally, I was a little apprehensive when Bzz Agent told me that Lysol had a hand wash product available. I like this product and will definitely use it in the future. If you'd like to try it, Lysol was kind enough to send me a small booklet of coupons. Leave a comment if you'd like to try it out, I'll send you a coupon!
Tweet If you want to be Retweeted, shared and have lots of followers on Twitter, Tweet in your own voice! Talk to people on the other side of your computer screen as if they're sitting right in front of you. Keep it real, keep it individually you. That's the key to success on Twitter--plain and simple. Sure you can look at algorithms and mathematical equations, but at the end of the day, just keep it real. Just act normal. Some of y'all act like you're in front of a camera posing, being something you're not. If you're a slouch in real life, then that's just who you are, sorry. When I used to take pictures in the clubs, people would come up to me and pay $10 for a 5x7 photo at the club. Then when they see their photo, they would be like, "I look like that?" My initial response would be, "yes; you looked like that when you left home." Obviously, I don't do club pictures anymore, LOL. But, you get my point, just be you...

I have fallen in love with Instagram! As a photographer, it is heaven for me and my images. I tend to shoot lots of nature shots, flowers, landscape, etc. and these photos are great for adding motivational quotes on them. I'm learning how to use the filters which can enhance an already great photo, giving it a new feel or even a new look. (I'm @teasastips on Instagram look me up!) I've found that younger people aged 18-34 comprise the majority of Instagram's 100 million users; and women occupy 55% of that! With this tidbit, I've got an infographic on Instagram filters and what they say about you. Enjoy!
Who do you know that drinks coffee? Probably many people because coffee is a $100+ Billion global market! 3 Billion cups of coffee are consumed daily worldwide, and its the 2nd most traded commodity behind oil. Coffee is huge.

>br> Facebook is a behemoth when it comes to advertising. There isn't another ad platform out there that can boast over one billion users (except McDonalds and they aren't an ad platform LOL!) With those kinds of numbers, many marketers are wondering if Facebook can deliver. So, it's no wonder that marketers all over the world are seeking to maximize the opportunity that is Facebook advertising. Standard web targeting, even though they are traditional in their delivery, still beats Facebook using standard retargeting. Both are highly effective methods to advertise, but as you can see, investing in both types of marketing is a wise move. Take a look at the Infographic below, and check out the statistics.

There isn’t a marketer in the world that doesn’t wish all their marketing copy converts into a sale. So you write what you believe is killer copy and release it to the unknown masses, and voila, only get what, eight (8) sales?! I’ve been there, so I’m not making fun of you.

You must put yourself in the customers’ shoes in order to write great copy. It is here where the magic begins. First you want to begin to think what makes your customer make decisions. You can easily do this by thinking about yourself.

Social Media Best Practices and Marketing Tips Interact with customers on a personal level by posting questions, sending a direct message, and replying to comments to drive activity. Feedback, criticism, and comments are public- be ready to respond quickly and as accommodating as possible, keeping in mind social media etiquette.

Promote social campaigns through other marketing channels like email, SMS, and voice broadcast. Encourage likes, shares, comments, and retweets to increase visibility and exposure on news feeds to spark word of mouth marketing.

Choose a short and easy-to-remember mobile keyword that associates with your business or promotion. Display keywords on flyers, store signage, and other highly visible places for increased exposure. Make sure keyword advertisements abide by CTIA rules and regulations by including: A brief description of program Instruction on how to opt-out Frequency of SMS campaign Terms & Conditions Lingo: ‘Msg&Data rates may apply’ Put your organization name at the beginning of the text so customers can easily identify who the message is from. Save text space by using abbreviations and shortened words like "thru" instead of "through". Leverage the instant delivery and high open rates of SMS by sending messages during business hours to drive in traffic. Abide by Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) guidelines.

From Drop Box For All Marketing Campaigns: Collect your own contact list through opt-in features; never rent or purchase lists.

Include a compelling call-to-action and incentives to encourage a response from your audience, ie: "Shop online today and save 15% off your entire purchase!" Make sure all message content is relevant to your target audience. Test messages thoroughly before sending, making sure all links are active and spelling is correct. Send messages at appropriate times of day, avoiding early mornings and late nights. For promotional messages, deliver at optimal times during business hours to bring in quick traffic.

Click here To Sign Up For Auto Affiliate X - It's FREE! A few months back I reported that Facebook Groups don't work. At that time, I wrote, "Forget making a sale or getting a signup from being a member of Facebook groups, you may from time to time get a like for a comment you make if that comment is read by someone who hasn't been a member for long." Well, I need to modify that. I decided a few weeks ago to try posting a new affiliate program I have called Auto Affiliate X. I posted daily in a minimum of 20 internet marketing groups per day with an average membership of 2500. Since that time I am happy to report that I have 6 sales in one week. I believe it depends on what type of product offered to these groups. If a believable product is offered to these internet marketers (lead generation products or list building strategies), then you are more likely to make sales. I'm going to continue marketing this product to them, as I stand corrected, Faceb...
Choosing an in-home heating unit can be tricky, there are thousands of brands and models to sift through. How do you choose the right one for you? There are a few factors to consider when choosing a furnace for your home. 1. Brand Many furnaces in today's market have proven to be reliable and offer limited or lifetime warranties. HeatandCool.com carries a wide selection of Klimaire and Lennox furnaces, they also offer unlimited technical support and a hassle free warranty processing. 2. Efficiency 80% or 95% Over time furnaces become less efficient. If you are looking for a replacement furnace your current unit is likely at 50% efficiency. An upgrade will certainly save you gas and money. If you're going to be in a home for 5 years or less an 80% would be a great investment and offer you savings on gas. Of course 95% units are helpful for resale value if you plan to sell. If you plan on being in your home for 5 years or more, it makes a lot of sense to go with the 95%. H...

There was a time when electroshock therapy was the recommended cure for all cases of neurosis. Frontal lobe lobotomies, etc. were the norm. Alcohol, opiates, bite boards and physical restraints were often used for pain relief. Aren't you glad we've progressed?

Bet you didn't know actors Jeff Goldblum and Wil Wheaton are considered uber geeks? Or that what you carry in your messenger bag will determine if you are an uber geek. It used to be a time when geeks or nerds were unfashionable. However, thanks to the TV show "The Big Bang Theory," geeks and nerds are significantly in style. Think about it, who do you call when your computer has a virus that keeps you off Facebook? The geek in the family. I know I call my youngest brother because he was born a geek and he is the coolest geek I know. Take a look at this uber geek infographic and find out if you or someone you know is an uber geek.

Now that CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2013 is over, we can sit back and oogle over the newest innovations in consumer electronics. For instance, Toshiba has created an 84 inch ultra-HD television. Look how far we've come! Just last year at CES 2012 LG unveiled a 55-inch ultra slim TV that has yet to hit the stores. (Wonder if that was just a prototype?) Anyway, take a look at what's next, and be prepared to spend, spend, and spend. Image source: Best Choice Reviews
I love Infographics! And this week each blog post will feature a new infographic. Some will be social media oriented, or business marketing based. However, an Infographic will definitely grace the pages of this blog. Today's Infographic deals with Cancer and the highest rates of cancer in the United States. I live in Missouri and it happens to have a very high rate of cancer compared to the other 49 states. My father died of lung cancer and just two weeks ago I lost an aunt to breast and lung cancer after being in remission 12 years. According to NowSourcing, "Did you know that where you live might put you at a higher risk of getting cancer? Environmental factors account for an estimated 75-80% of cancer cases and deaths in the U.S. This first infographic provides a map of America’s cancer hot spots and information about cancers certain carcinogens cause as well as household items you might want to avoid using." The following Infographic will certainly spark so...
If you're running from the law, you might want to reconsider your use of social media. It seems that in recent years, law enforcement officials have increased their use of social media websites. Think of how many recent criminals have made the local and national news because they had Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts. A young Ohio woman recently tweeted that she wished death upon President Obama, and before she could hit the send button, the Secret Service was at her door with handcuffs. What is said on social media websites is not private, anyone and especially law enforcement has access to it. The Infographic below proves just that. Take a look at the ways law enforcers utilize social media to monitor criminal activity.
Thinking of expanding into global markets? You probably already communicate with international customers on Twitter and Facebook, but expanding into an international market requires planning. You have to take the culture, the environment and how you're going to market into consideration. Maybe a joint venture instead of going solo will be a better strategy? In order to be successful in international markets you must first learn what their needs are and tailor your products and services to the customers in those markets. Many companies have failed because they did not respect the customs nor understand the needs of international customers. Take a look at the Infographic below which gives you an idea of how to plan your first 100 days in an international market.
It's the main reason why internet marketers fail: the inability to get leads for their business. Certainly it's the missing link, because a prospect signs up for a great home based business opportunity, they love the compensation plan, in fact they see nothing but dollar signs. However, there is a gap, something is missing between signing up for the opportunity and making money from it. That is the missing link. How to get leads in order to make sales. There are many ways to generate leads in order to make sales for your internet marketing opportunities. It really depends on your budget. For the beginning marketer who has limited funds, I recommend starting off with safelists and traffic exchanges. This is how I first got started back in 2003. I created a lead capture page , and advertised that link in the traffic exchanges and safelists that I was a member of. In addition, I created a blog to write about various topics in marketing so that I could help people and s...
Want to know how to make your autoresponder smarter? There are a couple of tricks I learned while fine tuning my email marketing skills, and a couple of them is to pay attention to the time the email is sent as it relates to how many opens my messages got. First, look at when subscribers are opening your emails and/or clicking your links (the Opens over Time and Clicks Over Time reports will show you this) and adjust your send windows so your messages stand out at the top of the inbox during those times! Or, run a weekend sale – schedule one of your follow ups to only send on Friday mornings! See, sometimes my readers opened more of the email marketing messages I sent to them during early morning time periods versus later afternoon time periods. I learned to "Avoid days and times that don’t work for your subscribers." Because after all, it's all about the reader, and not me. Below is a video I want to share with you that will help you avoid the same mistakes ...

Check out the infographic: What's in store for small business in 2013? Data and infographic by AWeber
Being an ethical marketer is paramount to making money online or offline. Ethics ties in directly with your credibility, how honest you are and whether you can be trusted. The reason I'm blogging about this today is because recently on Facebook, an online marketer approached me about doing email marketing, stating he "had a program that would bring me tons of visitors a day." Naturally, I was skeptical, but I allowed the young man to continue to instant message me that evening. What he described was pure spam, stating that he makes $2000 per month spamming people. He was not an ethical marketer, rather, he was a spam master. Spamming is the act of sending unsolicited emails to people who (a) do not know you and (b)never requested or signed up for your email messages. The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 makes it illegal to send these types of messages by email or text messages. According to the FCC "Under the FCC’s rules, texts and commercial email messages may be...
