If you’re on LinkedIn looking to grow your bottom line, then keep your mouth SHUT about politics. Because this man - obviously trolling for business - started trash-talking the opposition and got slammed online...arguably from the very people he wanted to sell to.

It was a BIG mistake... but you can learn from his error. Take three minutes to learn the details, and immediately start profiting from your newfound wisdom.

What Successful Businesses Have In Common

You've probably heard that marketing is the lifeblood of commerce. So why do so many companies that miss their sales goals see their marketing budgets as expendable, slashing them when they should be increasing them?

I attribute it to a lack of strategic vision.

YOU can be smarter than them. Take 3 minutes to see how to fix this problem and improve your bottom line...NOW!

How I almost got scammed with my book

Recently, I came scarily close to getting scammed by someone pretending to be a book agent…because I wanted to believe I’d found a new resource for my clients.

Given how I’ve spent years warning readers about phony invention marketing firms, business services and scamsters offering to turn their cookbook into a movie on Netflix, the irony is not lost on me.

If you're a creative of any kind, take 3 minutes to see how you can avoid getting scammed. This problem is rampant, and there are LOTS of people out there intent on ripping you off.

Protect yourself in just 3 minutes!

Why bracket your domain?

A few years back a stranger impersonated me and tried to steal my clients out from under me. Her strategy was simple: buying domains that were painfully close to mine, then impersonating my agency.

A loyal client tipped me off and we headed her off ... but it easily could have been disastrous. Take 3 minutes to see how you can avoid this problem with your own business. Because regardless of what you sell, there's someone out there intent on corporate identity theft.
