Are You on the Online Path Less Traveled?

Taking the Online Path of Least Resistance

I always get a kick out of trying something new over the Web and seeing quick results. Perhaps it helps satisfy some inner need or maybe it just talks to my impatience at waiting for online "stuff" to work. Unfortunately for most of us, we do have to wait to see results and often we stop trying long before the phone starts ringing or the emails start coming in. Sound familiar to anyone? 

While you will not get instant online gratification from any of the tips below, you can implement several of them quickly, which will help set you on the right online path.

By blogging you are already doing more than many, but why stop there? Sooner or later someone else in your area (if they are not already doing it) will come along and suddenly you will have some spirited online competition for local consumers attention. Why not take the next step and ensure you are well down the path before they put their feet on the pavement! 

As mentioned, here are several articles that can really help your online presence. Do not take my word for it though...check out the articles for yourself and see what catches your eye.Are You on the Online Path Less Traveled?

In no particular order...

Happy Web Dominance Rainers!

Give it a go, George. Nothing to lose.

My pleasure, Gay. Enjoy.

Debbie: I didn't read that into the first tip at all. Tyler clearly says to "link back to the original article to maintain proper citation". 

Laura: That is always my thought. Sometimes it works great, other times it is back to the drawing board. The key is to try.

That is not proper at all!  It's pure copy & paste and creating duplicate content.  Further, he encourages people to pawn it off as their own.  He writes that you should send an email that says, "Hey there!I just wanted to share with you my latest blog post. Let me know what you think."

2nd point is to copy a blog and then pay someone to spin it.

Not very honest here.  I left him a comment.  I rarely leave nasty comments, but this is encouraging plagiarism and can hurt the people that wrote theoriginal content.
