Before reading this post, if you missed The Art Of Marketing You with wallpapers part 1 now would be a good time to check it out so this post will make more sense.
Before getting into the technical points about designing great looking wallpapers that will be wanted, useful and downloaded, the first thing we should look at is why use wallpapers for marketing?
The obvious and simple answer is FREE EXPOSURE! Think about it, the first thing most us do each day either from home or from the office is we go online … (78 comments)

the art of marketing you: The Art Of Marketing You with wallpapers(new series), meet Bruno - 08/06/08 12:52 PM

One of my favorite and most effective online marketing tools is giving away free wallpapers and calendars. Not the kind of wallpaper that messes up your kitchen walls but the kind you download from the net and use as a background image on your computer monitor.
Since I've had some questions and a lot of great feedback about wallpapers I've posted on Active Rain in the past few months, I thought it was about time to take a closer look at The Art Of Marketing You with wallpapers. So in addition … (83 comments)

Lessons from a 14 year old blogger...
I'll start off this post with a confession... I'm a news & information junkie. I have friends all over the place so I try to keep up on what's happening (good or bad) across the world.
Aside from my news junkie habit, I love to learn. I'll read almost anything from chess strategies (one of my passions) to reviews about the latest internet gizmo or some hot new blog that everyone is talking about.

Seth Godin's BIG Mistake
Imagine waking up tomorrow and someone starts a conversation with you about your Twitter account but... you don't have a Twitter account! Believe it or not, this is what happened to marketing guru Seth Godin.
In a post on February 2, 2008 Darren Rowse of Problogger mentioned his recent conversation with Seth Godin about his Twitter account and the 1400+ people following Seth on Twitter except Seth doesn't have a twitter account!
Fortunately it just seems to be a fan or admirer who has set up the account and is simply "twittering" content from Seth's … (98 comments)

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a safe, fun, amazing holiday season and that 2008 has been a good one so far. To start off the new year, I'd like to share a couple of things that caught my eye in the past few days.
Probably the thing I like most about the internet, is the ease and ability it gives us to discover such a diversity of interesting info. The first "goodie" I'd like to share has nothing to do with marketing but since there are so many sharp cookies here on AR, I … (46 comments)

The Art Of Marketing You
Sometimes looking outside our own industry, beyond our close circle of friends and associates can open our eyes to new ways of thinking, doing and seeing things.
In the past few days a few marketing articles caught my eye that I thought I'd share here on AR. While they're not directly related to real estate (except for the testimonial post by RSS Pieces), the concepts are definitely worth knowing about.
