Why I Switched From Aweber To GetResponse For My Email Marketing

Just because Aweber is popular, it is not necessarily the best email marketing service out there. After being a loyal customer for over 3 years, I finally decided to change my service provider.
Email Marketing Service - Switched From Aweber To GetResponse - Reasons For The Switch Explained
The reason I signed up with Aweber is not that I knew a lot about email marketing. It wasn’t because I knew a whole lot about different companies either. I chose Aweber for my email marketing needs because it was the service so many online marketers were using and recommending.

People told me that Aweber was the “gold standard” in email marketing. And it worked. I was impressed and convinced!

Should You Use Facebook Page Or Facebook Profile For Business?

Kumar Gauraw

There seems to always be confusion about using Facebook Page vs Facebook Profile for business. For a small business owner or a solo entrepreneur, it is a bit confusing to go one or the other way.

When I started to use Facebook back in the days, I didn’t have any business online. My profile on Facebook was to be in touch with friends and family. It was actually the cool new place where all my Orkut friends were migrating.

How To Promote Your Business Using Social Media

Kumar Gauraw

Promotions of the Free Enterprise System, the rise of social media and declining job markets have caused a significant increase in the number of independent consultants. That means more people are choosing entrepreneurship as their career path.

If you’re an expert at anything, you have an opportunity to start a consulting business and become a known expert in your niche. You don't have to be in some really cool business to succeed. You don't even need to have a large marketing budget.

Instead, you just need a plan, a strategy to market yourself to the right target market in the right manner. For example, look at these examples of people who applied the same concept and made a fortune:

In these cases, the investment wasn’t huge, the marketing wasn’t mind blowing. They started small, stayed consistent with their idea, kept working and achieved significant success.

Kumar Gauraw

List building and Email Marketing may not be something that a new website owner plans for initially when starting out. While setting up our new website or blog, most of us start out to build our brand identity online.

What Not To Do On Social Media If You Are An Entrepreneur

Kumar Gauraw

Knowing what not to do while using social media for business is at least as important as knowing what we must do to leverage social media for busness. Earlier, I shared how to leverage social media for business where we discussed some of the basic steps for the entrepreneurs to take control of their personal brand and online reputation for business success.

Social media is the most powerful tool in hands of an entrepreneur who can leverage its power for business growth. If done right, the benefits of using social media platform are tremendous.

However, it is equally important to know and remember the cardinal rules of using social media for business. If used inappropriately, social media is powerful enough to only increase the pain.

How To Leverage Social Media For Business Success

Kumar Gauraw

Social networking has impacted the way businesses are done. Many young entrepreneurs have made fortunes just because they know how to leverage social media for business. Unfortunately, so many others struggle with it. Many entrepreneurs, though they are good with traditionally well known methods of marketing, are not able to adapt to social media correctly and end up losing out so much potential every day to their competitors.

Sometimes it's lack of knowledge. But, in most cases, it's lack of willingness to learn and change. I recently had a conversation with an entrepreneur struggling to just keep the shop open because of the marketing challenges. While talking about internet marketing and leveraging social media for her business, she informed me that she is already doing it and nothing is working.

Your Klout Score -Why It Matters And How To Increase It

Kumar Gauraw

If you don’t know what Klout is, you should probably spend 15 minutes of your time to learn about it. I wondered about this for sometime and I am here to share with you what I learnt when I researched as to why and how much does it matter today.

If you have a Twitter account, you already have a Klout score whether or not you’re aware of it. If you are on Social Networking websites, you have a Klout score already though you may not know. I tend to think it is worth finding out anyway.

Beware Of Self Proclaimed Internet Experts

Kumar Gauraw

No doubt the Internet and the Social Media have enhanced how business is done today. Opportunities today are more then ever and so is the competition, so is the noise! Everybody has the opportunity to do more, be more – it's a level playing field today! Internet has given the platform to people from around the world to interact with leaders in various industries, learn, contribute and grow.

When it comes to networking, I go by the principle, "Treat everybody as genuine until they prove themselves to be otherwise." Therefore, I generally accept all connection requests and disconnect or ban people later if I realize it wasn't a good decision.
