Marketing with Passion from the World Around You.
Posted by: | Comments
Have you ever struggled for inspiration for blog or email content, my friend Jo Barnes has just written a great post about this and perhaps this is a constant struggle for you, if so there is an easy solution and for once it is absolutely free because you have all the tools you need.
Creative inspiration is all around you if you would only take the time to stop and look at what passes you by however you must realise the dangers of procrastination.
Here is an example that will show you exactly what I mean.
My last room of residence was near to Downham Market, West Norfolk in the UK in which there was a much acclaimed fish and chip shop. They had many awards on their walls but none from the last couple of years…strange so what happened in the last 2 years, is the chip shop now rubbish?
Actually they are still good as fast foods outlets go but that last question raises a serious question that you should consider in your marketing and business profile.
Obsessive Marketing Passion Leads to Success

I knew my OCD would come in handy eventually.
One lesson I learned about time management ages ago was that you cannot implement any sort of strategy until you know yourself and how efficient or otherwise you are. This is why I now track everything I do, from blogging to sleeping, everything is tracked via an Android application called Time Recording Pro.
As I said if this sounds a little bit obsessive then if you have been following me on Facebook for any length of time, you will know that I have had to instigate an eat alarm as this is something that I all too often forget to do whilst I am in my zone and following my passions when it comes to marketing! This is a benefit of reducing your diets carbohydrate content, by reducing the severity of the sugar rush whilst you eat, you reduce blood sugar based hunger pangs. Of course when I do eventually eat, my stomach is like an angry women on the porch greeting her drunken spouse home.
But back to topic of time management. Your Time is Precious so Click Here

With the anti-SOPA campaign gathering pace at last, I watched one video presentation about this that pretty much summed up the way America works,
They started by describing the ridiculous scope of this legislation which if you have not read reaches right done to gagging you from mentioning any media companies products that are released or planned!
The reasoning behind this is that if you are able to derive any form of commercial advantage from using this planned product, ie more traffic, then you have stolen this advantage from the copyright holder! Well a slap on the wrist and back to business is not really that bad, oh really, could you afford a $5million fine, 20 years in jail and of course extradition to the US?
That is by the way just for your first offence, the penalties ramp up for serial offenders which means you are going to have to channel your marketing passion very carefully if this legislation is passed.
Okay so you are not in the US, well before you light the cigar and sip your brandy, this legislation has you in its sights. They have specifically mentioned all the continents but they take that one step further and state that any country which does not play ball will have action taken against it!
Now returning to the video presentation, it ended by turning this concern on its head by stating that the legislation will never be passed as it is part of the US political establishments standard brinkmanship. This is used to reign in organisations that do their own thing without paying kickbacks to the political establishment.
Thus as the title suggests who needs who?
Marketing with Passion is Not Enough!
Posted by: | Comments
I have not written on this blog since the 12 of this month as I realised that marketing with passion was not enough and that really I should just quit and consider another a plan.
However, thankfully in 2010 when I lost my job unexpectedly and realised I needed to focus better on achieving my desired life, I received a brilliant internet marketing strategy that has ensured I was unable to walk away from this desire.
I had no backup plan and that was the strategy, without a backup plan I have no choice but to achieve my goals and the desires they represent.
It is important to realise that this differs from having a plan B (you are going to hear more about this as the emails are now flowing, considering this option). A plan B is another way of attacking a problem but a backup plan is the way to avoid facing your problems.

This post is part of a challenge that I originally declined due to being in a state of flux, although having been pushed into the challenge by Randy Smith and looking through my blog archive it would appear that is my normal state!
The challenge was to find 7 posts that meet the set criteria and the first was most beautiful which is such a subjective thing . This made it a particularly hard category but one post stood out due to its balanced use of images, it also actually describes a world that thankfully has mostly passed, the world of the multi-speaker pitch fest. Ladies and gentlemen I give you…’Apologies to Bacon’
