Probably the biggest question I get asked is if social networking is worth it or a big waste of time. Well, if you're doing social networking to make money, and you aren't making money, then it most certainly is a waste of time.

So, how do you make money with social networking? A lot depends on the words you use and how you interact with your friends and followers. Today I'm going to focus specifically on Twitter.

Remember, for Twitter you only have 140 characters including spaces for every tweet. That means every character counts, so use them wisely.

Opt In Email Marketing as a Low Cost and Effective Marketing Strategy

If you're not capturing leads on your website and blogs through an opt in email marketing form, you are leaving most of your profits behind. What most business owners and entrepreneurs don't understand is that sales conversions are rarely immediate. With the right marketing, you are sure to attract some hot prospects who will act right away but most will not be ready. If you do not capture these prospects into a list, their options are limited to adding your page to their favorites. When you do this, the old saying, "out of sight, out of mind," is what generally happens. You have most likely lost that prospect forever. These email marketing tips will help you to get started with an email marketing strategy that is likely to be productive and profitable.

Spyware is a term that has become quite common to hear.

But what kind of program is it really?

It can be explained as, a broad category of malicious software designed to intercept or take partial control of a computer's operation without the "known" consent of that machine's owner or user .

The term is being used quite loosely and includes a number of different programs. The thing they all have in common, is that they monitor the computer and/or user and share information with a third party. With or without the consent of the computer's owner.

When I recently downloaded my email and there were 13,000+ messages that had made it past my filters, I knew that I had to do something. It's simply impossible to work through that many messages in less than a few days -- which is what my team and I did. In the process, I'm sure that we deleted more than a few that we didn't really intend to.

Before working through that PILE, I realized that I needed a better solution immediately! After discussions with many advisors and close friends, I settled upon using a help desk. By having my contacts go through a help desk system rather than emailing me, it has reduced the sheer volume by about 90%.

A radical change has occurred in the world of marketing. Just five years ago, before the onset of the internet and social media, most marketing entailed "interrupting the consumer." TV commercials are a perfect example of interruptive marketing. As you watch your favorite Thursday night program, suddenly a commercial breaks onto the scene and interrupts you. Obviously, consumers are beginning to rebel against interruptive advertising, because, let's face it, no one likes to be rudely interrupted.

According to Kirby and Marsden (authors of Connected Marketing), 90 percent of people who can skip TV ads, do skip TV ads. In addition, 65 percent of people believe that they are constantly bombarded with too much advertising. So, as a marketer, the first question that you must ask yourself is, "How effective is interruptive advertising?" The answer should be blatantly obvious!

I recently finished watching Season 1 of True Blood. While I can see why it's not for everyone, I myself enjoy a good vampire romp, especially when it's populated by such a nice selection of hot-looking actors (who have no issues showing off their equally hot bodies).

Anyway, it got me thinking about all the vampire stories out there. Vampire legends have been around for centuries and in nearly every society. Vampire movies, shows, books, etc. continually pop up on a frequent basis.

So why all the fuss? What is it about vampires that just won't die (pun intended)?
