			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So after some pretty busy days I figured it was time to give you guys a head up on what&#8217;s happening with Baymard. Currently, it&#8217;s on a pause. But wait! There&#8217;s more.</p>
<p>The reason to this pause is a very heavy workload (partially due to this site!). Besides our marketing business we have 2 projects going, Baymard and Burden Butcher. Due to the workload we had to put one of them on hold. That one turned out to be Baymard.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re new to Burden Butcher it&#8217;s a revolutionary way for freelancers to plan and organize all their business activities into one seamlessly integrated application. <a href="http://www.burdenbutcher.com" title="Productivity Application for Freelancers" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.burdenbutcher.com');">Click here to read more.</a></p>
<p>PS. Keep subscribed as we&#8217;ll continue the Baymard article stream in the future.</p>

<h3>If you want your customers to understand you, you need to understand yourself at first. This may seem obvious, but a lot of companies don&#8217;t get it.</h3>
<p>However, if you do get it you can turn it to your advantage and have your customers understand who you are, why they should care about you and how you&#8217;re (better) different from your competitors - key in building a crystal clear brand.

<p>Instead, you have to be fundamentally different from all you competitors. But being different isn&#8217;t enough, you have to be different in a way your niche market finds appealing and exciting; so exciting people just can&#8217;t help but talk about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in the 60&#8242; up until the 90&#8242; advertising could see no end.
