Susan Solomon
Attention, CEOs: It's Time to Blog

Old-school thinking demotes blogs to the domain of college students and frustrated authors battling writers block.

New-school thinking elevates blogging to a much different sphere of influence. Journalists have embraced blogging -- both authoring blogs as well as consulting them for sources.

And now blogging also has a place in the corporation -- in fact, it's actually good for business.

How’s Your Internet Presence?

If you’ve been studying market trends you know that Internet use continues to rise. Not only are people using the Internet to gather information, they are using it to find businesses in their area such as dentists, hair salons, health clubs, restaurants and more. Additionally, people are buying more and more products right off the Internet. Some estimates are in the billions of dollars of annuals sales on the Net.

These are incredible numbers. Fact is, if you are not taking advantage of the buying habits of today’s consumer you are falling behind faster than you may imagine.

A great way to get your foot in the door of prospective clients and customers is to increase your visibility on the Internet. Not sure where to begin? You can start by submitting your URL (website address) to many of the free search engine submission services. Here is a great place to begin http://www.addme.com/

Promoting a business, product, service or person is an ongoing process. Amazing how many people want visibility but are not willing to do what it takes to be noticed. At times, you have to be a self promoter. The following press release will give you a great understanding of what I have done to gain the visibility I enjoy. It is being distributed all over the Internet. In a future posting I will put a list of places you can submit your own releases for maximum exposure.

Long Before the Popularity of ‘The Apprentice’ Kathleen Gage Was Teaching Business Owners How to Be Street Smarts

February 9, 2005 – Salt Lake City, UT - Before water cooler discussions about Street Smarts vs Book Smarts began, award winning entrepreneur, professional speaker and author, Kathleen Gage applied her own business street smarts to create “Street Smarts Marketing and Promotions, Success Secrets to Market A Small Business on a Limited Budget.©”

Gage developed ‘Street Smarts’ to respond to the market need of small and home based businesses looking for creative, low cost and no cost strategies to market their businesses in extremely effective ways. “Streets Smarts Marketing and Promotions” contains countless secrets on how to quickly and easily promote a business, gain visibility, learn how to identify customers and markets, stretch marketing dollars, creatively position a company, gain massive amounts of visibility within the targeted market and develop a smooth-running PR machine.

“Kathleen has a common sense, easy to understand and apply approach to marketing for small businesses. I am convinced it has been the saving grace for our company in the last year,” says Patricia Twitchell, Owner, Just Bears and Stuff, Myrtle Creek, Oregon.

Street Smarts Marketing and Promotions was introduced to the market in 2003 as a multi media program. Staying ahead of trends and marketing demand, Gage now offers her program at www.streetsmartsmarketing.com as an E-product. This has made the already reasonably priced program even more affordable to small and home based businesses who want high return information and strategies for their investment.

Kathleen Gage is the author of several books, multi media programs and E-Products on marketing, promotions and sales. She is recognized at the top home based business for 2004 in the state of Utah.
