Walker vs. unions sparks national interest
Two weeks old and counting, Wisconsin’s scorched-earth budget battle has become a consuming national spectacle and defining political moment, an episode with few parallels in the legislative annals of this or any state. “It’s really a confluence of a series of extraordinary events,” said Peverill Squire, a University of Missouri professor who studies legislative...

We even talk about some places and ways to get ideas for blogs, but one thing we don’t talk about a lot is that sometimes you just don’t want to blog. You don’t feel like sitting down at the keys and pumping out good content for your audience. There...

The reasons for creating an online store on Facebook are obvious: it has 30 million users in the UK alone, offers can be spread virally and it’s where people are spending large chunks of their online time. Neither does creating an online store have to be expensive. Applications, such as Storenvy and ShopIgniter, make it relatively simple to add a store tab to your Facebook page. Perhaps the key...

10 Facebook Marketing Tips For Small Businesses
Recent studies have found that some small business owners mistakenly think they don’t have enough time, money or other resources to invest in Facebook promotions. It doesn’t require a full-time social media coordinator nor much of a budget, if any. The adage “keep it simple” goes a long way here, and with that in mind, here are ten ways for small businesses to maximize their presence on...

Yes, you need a CRM
Over the past couple of days, I’ve had the opportunity to talk to businesses large and small, in virtually every industry from non-profit rescue missions to Fortune 500 companies about their digital marketing, and one of the greatest consistent gaps I’ve seen is that few are using a CRM, or customer relationship management system. For those who aren’t familiar, a CRM is a piece of software that...

You’ve read a whole slew of blog posts, news stories as well as examples of how social media has helped businesses like yours cut costs and market more effectively. So now it’s your turn.

Why You're a Fool if You Don't Use Twitter
If you own a small business and you aren’t using Twitter, you’re a fool. That’s the bottom line. I say that as a person who for too long dismissed Twitter – and social media, in general – as an outlet for reality stars and urban poets.

How to Execute Great Ideas
Entrepreneurs typically have no shortage of ideas, but this creative strength can quickly become a weakness if the ideas aren’t managed well. The constant messages running through a solopreneur’s mind might include thoughts like, “I should get moving on that.” “What if I miss out on something big?” “Too many ideas, too little time.” “I wish I had the money to make this happen, it’s such a great...

Just found this cleaning out the basement — it’s one of my all time favorite sports pictures of my son Colin and the best coach he ever had — Larry Sladek.
