The Future of The Internet is Cloudy
One of the things I love about new year’s is reading about year-end predictions. I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s my curious nature.
But I’m fascinated when I see where some people think we’re headed. There are some bloggers whose predictions fascinate me. Two have captured my attention: ReadWriteWeb and the Manhattan Marketing Maven.
And yes, even yours truly loves making them, too.
As with all predictions, it’s no different than flipping a coin. The law of averages kicks in. But it’s not a 50–50 ratio. A third will come true, usually dead on the money. Another third won’t at all. And the final third may come true, but not exactly as predicted.
I’m subjected to that same law, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Nevertheless, in keeping with that sacred tradition of new-year projections, prognostications, and picayune pontifications, here are two major areas I believe we will see happening in the

Careful…this video may make you motion sick! But seriously…and I am serious. But seriously, the message is clear. If you don’t make a plan for yourself…if you don’t take the time to initiate a plan and look ahead, you’ll end up fitting in to the plan of someone else, and I guarantee you that the plan they will have for you won’t be nearly as good as the plan you’d have for yourself, if you’d just take the time to do it.
Watch this video post from my day on the mountain…and learn about a KEY POINT that will literally MAKE or BREAK your financial future.
Do this…and make 2010 your Best Year Ever!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!

I hate chitchat. Hate it.
I know I am probably (not probably, definitely am) an overly intense person. I want to be engaged in something that is meaningful and “on purpose” at all times—even when I am “off” and not working. To sit around and shoot-the-(well, you know) and talk about the weather, football scores or the latest celebrity gossip pains me beyond belief.

Carve Your Niche By Dominating One
I was recently interviewed by a print magazine about how I started my business. In it, I offered several tips and ideas on how to carve a niche in the marketplace that I personally applied.
I realized some of these tips were particularly powerful. So I wanted to reprint some of my answers here for you.
If you know my personal story, you know how niche marketing played an important role in my career.
Long story short, as the child of an alcoholic I feared rejection immensely, which led to a reclusive childhood. We all fear rejection to some degree. But for me, it was debilitating.
I wanted to overcome my fears and decided to dive into the world of sales in order to fight them head-on. Years passed and many failures ensued until I finally became the top producing salesperson in Canada for a major Fortune 500 company.
How did I accomplish that?

Last year, a bunch of copywriters who also blog — like yours truly — shot the breeze on the Nuts and Blogbolts talk radio show.
It was an interesting and at times spirited discussion.
After some talk about content and copy (or should I say, writing content versus writing copy), the show’s host, Mike Sansone, asked each panelist if we would individually respond on our blogs to this question:
“Writing for the visitor is more important than writing for the search engines. Can both be met without sacrificing quality?”
Ryan Healy posted his answer on the subject. Good answer. I agree with him, because he makes some great points. But I also disagree as I think there are ways around it.
So I guess my answer is both “yes” and “no.” Here’s why.
First off, I’m not a search engine optimization (SEO) expert by any stretch. However, I do know enough about SEO to know that it’s primarily

People have a deep subconscious need to reciprocate for anything that is done to or for them. The Law of Reciprocity is one of the most powerful of all determinants of human behavior. This is because nobody likes to feel that he or she is obligated to someone else. When someone does something nice for us, we want to repay that person, to reciprocate. We want to be even. Because of this, we seek an opportunity to do something nice in return. This law is the basis of the law of contract, as well as the glue that hold most human relationships together.
Concessions
The first party to make a concession is the party who wants the deal the most. You must therefore avoid being the first one to make a concession, even a small concession. Instead, be friendly and interested, but remain silent. The first person to make a

I remember 10 years ago.
In the wake of rumored proposals to regulate the web, in 1999 the CRTC, comparable to America’s FCC, officially declared that the Internet is not a broadcast medium.
Now, that ruling was significant for many reasons.
Technically, the Internet is a medium. But the government based its decision on the fact that the web is interactive with its audience — unlike other unidirectional, one-way broadcast media such as the TV or radio. As a result, regulators concluded the Internet could therefore police itself.
(The “Net Neutrality” debate of late is a perfect example that it is different.)
Nevertheless, my point here is not a political one but a marketing-related one.
Unlike traditional media, the Internet is both user-driven and transactional. Active and interactive. Dynamic and conversational. Particularly in this age of Web 2.0. You can say that, in many ways, the Internet is more of a process than it is a medium.
And that
