Direct response marketing expert Diane Conklin likes to remind business owners of the difference between sales and marketing using this analogy:
It's always easier to sell if you offer the fish instead of the fishing pole.
Marketing is the ability to create an opportunity and a desire within a prospect to buy your products or services. The big picture is, nobody wants to put forth the effort to catch the fish.
That is what makes information marketing the big business that it is today. The industry is fuelled by the lack of time available to people and a growing desire for work-life balance. As an information marketer, you can meet this great demand by gathering information and selling it in convenient forms to people who don't have the time to do things themselves.

Warning for Information Marketers: Avoid the Common Mistake of Limiting Your Marketing Program to One Marketing Method.
Don't mistakenly assume that everyone is on the internet. By using a multi-step, multimedia approach you will maximize your profits and ensure stability. Diane recommends using at least three or four sources that deliver great results.
The key is to avoid becoming dependent on any one media type. That way if one of them slows down or dries up completely you will still have new clients, money and sources flowing into your company.

3. What should I do to get more traffic to my website ~ Traffic from joint ventures (The 1st Stage)
Let me make this statement: A great part of your success in the online world will depend on the people you partner yourself with. You have to accept the fact that no man is an island. Two heads are always better than one, more so when you have three or more heads working together for a common goal. Joint ventures, fondly called JVs, are partnerships with other Internet marketers with the ultimate purpose of increasing everyone’s profits. This can be done in a variety of ways: ...
4. What should I do to get more traffic to my website ~ Traffic from joint ventures (The 2nd Stage)
Your adventures with joint ventures won’t stop there, however. You see, finding partners will not be an easy task. Some of them will even say “no” to your offer. They have their own interests to pursue, after all. And in the online world, just like in the real world, it still boils down to a question of “what’s in it for me?” So, what’s in it for them? You must present them with something that they will find difficult to resist. This may be a revolutionary idea you have conceptualized ...
5. Why Is Content Management Needed
It would be surprising if anyone involved in maintaining and evolving a successful commercial Web site did not recognize some of the following basic trends: The amount of information and functionality on the site is expanding rapidly. There are requirements for expanding the site to encompass new areas such as business-to-business relationships, multilingual sites, and integration with suppliers and partners. The content on the site needs to be more up to date and the process for updating sit...
6. What Web Content Management Cannot Achieve
Content management is a great way of improving efficiencies by shifting as much mundane processing work as possible to the dumb computer, which will work all night like a slave for no money. Unfortunately, the system is only as good as those who configure it: It can only do what it is told. So it is worth noting a few of the things that a CMS cannot do for you: It does not automatically organize your content for you. It certainly gives you the tools to help you structure and organize your content and will then happily...

9. What are Google Reader and RSS Feeds
RSS is a way of delivering information to your PC without you having to go out and visit a website to get that information. It is a special format used by websites and blogs to, in essence, broadcast information. Because the information is sent in a special format, you need a special reader to read the information. You view the information in the reader itself. The reader software enables you to choose which RSS feeds you want to read out of the many thousands available. Choosing an RSS feed is commonly called subscribing to the ...
