Welcome

Hello and Welcome to The Business Pod's blog.  We have decided to use Google's Blogger service rather than the one in our website tools as Blogger gives us more control over the design of it.

 Our aim is to blog at least once a week and will be on topics that will help you grow your business, and help you become more successful.

 We hope you enjoy it.

Email Marketing Tips for Your Business

Email marketing is an excellent way to connect with your customers without having to spend a whole lot of money. Newsletters are one great way to get people to sign up.  Here are 5 email marketing tips your business should implement.  1. Make subscribing easy – Create a form for sign up on your home page, Facebook page, blog, and wherever else potential customers are already found. Collect names and email addresses. You could collect birthdays to provide a free gift, invite visitors to join groups, etc. Just don’t include too many fields because if it takes too long to subscribe you’ll scare visitors off.  2.

But, there are at least 3 reasons that attending seminars should be on your priority list (even if you DON'T plan to do a major product launch). 1. You Are Surrounded By Like-minded People. Scoff if you want. But, I'm telling you, there's huge POWER in being around folks who are driven to the same goal as you are. Well, picture being at a party with a few hundred people who not only know what you do... they do it, too! You'll be amazed at how inspiring that can be. 2. You Meet People Who Inspire And

How to Build A Successful Business?

Starting a business and becoming successful is often part of the Dream. But there is a difference between starting a business and building a successful business. Many businesses fail within the first few years of existence due to the lack of planning for the long-term. There is not enough vision and there is not enough done to strengthen the business properly from the ground up. If you want to start a business there is an easy way to get a better understanding of why some businesses fail and others don't. When starting a business think about it similar to building a house. If done right it is protecting you against any kind of storm or danger of the outside world and will last for a long time. It offers shelter and protection. For you and your business that could be translated to that you want to have a business that is able to weather economical ups and downs (=storm) and that will provide income to pay the bills (shelter and protection). When building a house there are seve
