The Basics Of Keyword Research For Your Online Business

2010-04-10T07:48:00.000-07:00

The Basics Of Keyword Research For Your Online Business, by Gobala Krishnan, IAHBE Staff Writer—Unlike paid advertising, research has shown that visitors are more open to natural search engine results, and the amount of traffic to natural search engine results is also significantly higher. To get a good search engine ranking, you need to start with the right choice of keywords. Keywords are what people type into search engines to find information. If your site ranks for the correct keyword, your link will be displayed whenever someone uses the search engines. However, it amazes me how little people really know about keyword research; how hard they try to achieve the impossible, and how fast they give up. When you think about it, it’s really a vicious cycle...

Phishing For Trouble: 12 Tips To Avoid Beging A Victim Of the Internet's Cruelest Scam

2010-04-10T07:47:00.000-07:00

Phishing For Trouble: 12 Tips To Avoid Beging A Victim Of the Internet's Cruelest Scam, by Gobala Krishnan, IAHBE Staff Writer—Online scams have been around ever since people started using the Internet. However, what used to be as "simple" as getting people to give you their confidential information via an e-mail by simply asking for it has, over the years, evolved to beat the technologies that were placed to prevent it, and taken the modern day form of "phishing." In my opinion phishing is perhaps the cruelest scam of all, since it not only deceives you, it does so by manipulating your trust and feeding on your fear. And more often than not, it's difficult to realize that you've been stabbed from behind by an enemy pretending to be your friend...

Trendy Ideas For Canadian Entrepreneurs

2010-04-10T07:40:00.000-07:00

Trendy Ideas For Canadian Entrepreneurs, by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Staff Writer—The ideas we will discuss aren’t intended to tell you they will work for you or any other small entrepreneur. In fact, many of these ideas are being used by larger well-funded businesses. The point is for you to see what some people are doing and then get outside your comfort zone to find a related niche you can develop using some of the methods these other companies are using but on a scale you can handle. If your business outgrows you, that’s fine; either sell it or hire enough resources to expand! You’ll make money either way!

Motorola Moto Q 9C—Cool Tips & Tricks You Won't Find In Your User's Manual

Motorola Moto Q 9C—Cool Tips & Tricks You Won't Find In Your User's Manual, by Yank Elliott, IAHBE Staff Writer—Several months ago I wrote a Tool Review about the Blackberry which included information about other smartphones, including the Motorola Q 9c. My cell phone contract was up for renewal, and my intention was to get a smartphone, most likely a Blackberry. After all, it is one of President Obama’s favorite toys. How could I not get one? Then I began to read some things about smartphones that caused me to investigate a little bit deeper into this market segment. One thing that struck me was the increasing popularity of these phones just when I was considering getting one. Sales are expected to remain strong, in spite of the failing economy, on into 2013...

Trendwatching: Follow Trends To Discover Business Ideas Ahead Of The Crowd, by Elizabeth H. Cottrell, IAHBE Editor—Why are trends important to entrepreneurs? The early bird gets the worm. Forewarned is forearmed. Be prepared. Expressions become clichés because there is truth in them. Students of business history know that many of the world’s great fortunes were made because someone recognized an opportunity before anyone else and jumped in to capitalize on it before everyone else climbed on the bandwagon...

Stimulus Opportunities: Is there an entrepreneurial windfall in your state's federal stimulus program?

2009-06-04T01:11:00.000-07:00

Stimulus Opportunities: Is there an entrepreneurial windfall in your state's federal stimulus program?, by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Writer—Every catastrophe, economic or otherwise, carries a number of opportunities all around its fringes. You have probably heard the frequently repeated phrase from the White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, and others to the effect that “any crisis is too good an opportunity to waste”—meaning to use it as an excuse for pushing an unpopular idea through Congress. That is just what this article is about, i.e., the President’s economic stimulus program and the opportunities surrounding it. We discuss possible ways to take advantage of this program, as well as how you will need to put significant effort into finding what avenues are open for you to profit from the stimulus...

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, by Naomi Klein

2009-06-04T01:02:00.000-07:00

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, by Naomi Klein, reviewed by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Writer—The Shock Doctrine hit me like a bomb when it revealed things about all those economic conditions I had just accepted as things that happened and would eventually pass. This book must have had a similar impact on many people, because it remains No. 337 among Amazon’s best sellers. The ideas presented are significant for business, large and small, because they show how opportunities surrounding every catastrophe may be used to benefit those who identify and act upon them. Much has been in the media about the politics of never letting a crisis go by without using it to achieve some difficult goal. It works in business as well...

Producing Rural Entrepreneurs, by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Writer

2008-11-28T23:56:00.000-08:00

Producing Rural Entrepreneurs, by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Writer—Traditional rural business, so long dependent on natural resources like farming, timber, and mining, is declining in many areas. In some cases the resource is depleted; in others operations have been consolidated eliminating many jobs, and still other jobs have been sent to other countries with less restrictive work regulations and much cheaper labor costs. The decline has brought down associated manufacturing and services as well. This sounds like bad news, and it can be, but the aftermath of this dislocation often leaves a great many possibilities for entrepreneurs...

Book Review: How Full Is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath & Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D., reviewed by Elizabeth H. Cottrell, IAHBE Editor

2008-11-28T23:26:00.000-08:00

Book Review: How Full Is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath & Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D., reviewed by Elizabeth H. Cottrell, IAHBE Editor—The concept and message of How Full is Your Bucket? is simple: our life from beginning to end, whether we’re considering our personal or professional life, consists of thousands of interactions with other people, each offering an opportunity that the authors compare to each of us having an invisible bucket that can either be filled or emptied by the interaction. If the interaction is a warm, positive one, our buckets are filled. If not, our buckets are emptied. We can choose whether we are going to be bucket fillers or bucket emptiers, and we can choose, to some extent, whether we are going to associate with people who chronically fill—or chronically empty—our own buckets...
