"There are a lot of companies who have grown stagnant by doing things that are comfortable. This can end up costing the company more money than they have anticipated..... this becomes apparent in pay-per-click campaigns."

The SEO Search Quest group is in negotiation to hold a special workshop - free to the business community through Troy, Michigan's Automation Alley. The seats will be limited. There will be more information about this in days to come.

"My main concern lies within companies getting their fair share of customers.... and utilizing the new strategies that typical SEO firms steer clear of due to the high learning curve involved."

Internet Marketing Center - On Tour

"IMC Leading The Way For Online Marketers - 2007"
Detroit, Michigan March Review

I always get excited when I hear that Derek Ghel is coming to America. The Internet Marketing Center is THE premiere online marketing resource to smart entrepreneurs abroad. Ghel is one of the founding brains in the powerful nerve center that is IMC. This Canadian Internet marketing group is the brainchild of the late Corey Rudl who masterminded an online marketing presence that generated 50 million dollars in online sales in just ten years. They are most famous for creating unique software that can not only garnish attention from online traffic but also burrow deep into tight niche markets.

These guys have been hitting the road now for the second consecutive year. I was lucky enough to catch them in Chicago last March and in Detroit this year. They appeared at the Crown Plaza in Novi, Michigan. They came here for two days and hit the crowd with enough marketing tips to fill up an entire three subject notebook. The staff was about a third of what was offered in Chicago as the venue in Michigan was significantly smaller in size. But this didn't have any impact on the powerful workshops and no nonsense seminars that held the audience spellbound for hours on end. The seating was tight as it was near a sell out crowd.

We covered:

• Ebay secrets
• Copywriting strategies
• Joint Venture and Affiliate Program secrets
• Email marketing
• Direct to Desktop tips
• Online Affiliate programs
• Web site makeovers

and a whole lot more......

The days begin early at 8am and go straight on until 4:30 pm with time for questions and answers at the end. If you really care about online marketing and want to get more presence for your site you definately need to connect with this tour. I have been to a lot of these and cannot recommend these guys highly enough. They were there from the beginning of serious online marketing and are still there today creating 6 figure incomes for their customers in many countries including Canada, North America and Australia. The group is very entertaining and you should try to catch them if they come through your area. Future city stops include New York City, Chicago and there are dates in Texas and in California.

You can find out more about them here....

Check out their software packages. These guys really do think of everything. They are worth getting and perform like the way they are supposed to. Viral marketing has been perfected and they have mapped out strategies and sure fire ways to get traffic and give your site more action onilne and off.

What Ticks Off Venture Capitalists Most?

TEN THINGS NOT TO SAY WHEN YOU WANT TO GET FUNDED !!!

The recent rush to get your idea funded is astronomical. The rate at success in this recent rush is tighter than before. This is in vast comparison of the late 90's Gold Rush that destroyed many hopes of future businesses. Simply said, many of these companies failed to turn a profit. VC's are becoming tighter than ever. The following list comes to us from Entrepreneur.com

1. "Our projections are conservative."
2. "(Big-name research firm) says our market will be $50 billion in 2010."
3. "(Big-name company) is going to sign our purchase order next week."
4. "Key employees are set to join us as soon as we get funded."
5. "No one else is doing what we're doing."
6. "No one else can do what we're doing."
7. "Hurry, because several other vc firms are interested."
8. "Oracle is too big/dumb/slow to be a threat to us."
9. "We have a proven management team."
10. "All we have to do is get 1 percent of the market."

I've heard every single one of these lines in the past 12 months so I think this is worth mentioning. But here is the killer -- there is NOT ONE venture capital firm out there interested in getting 1% of an entire market -- not one. And according to the Money Exchangers they can tell when stories like this are bogus and ill-planned.

Projections are far fetched -- usually in the tens of millions... even billions. There are other issues too with building costs and dealing with contractors. The later is a troublesome bunch according to Trump. These predictions for powerful growth to your company can be over exagerated. This causes VC's to repel to you like oil and water.

This list is very humorous -- but then again, maybe not so funny to others.
