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.

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 ...

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...
