WebSiteMarketingPlan.com Network News, April 20, 2004

The new articles this week are from a marketer/author I’ve long respected, Marcia Yudkin, and an author I only recently discovered, Jan King.

Jan is author of Business Plans to Game Plans: A Practical System for Turning Strategies into Action and former President & CEO of Merritt Publishing. Her article, “The Game Plan - the Difference Between Small Business Success and Failure (Part 1)” and Part 2, explain how to bridge the gap between planning and effective implementation.

Marcia is author of 11 marketing-relating books, including Poor Richard’s Website Marketing Makeover: Improve Your Message and Turn Visitors Into Buyers. Her new articles today - “Understanding Niche Publicity” and “Nearly Everyone Uses It, and So What?” - will help you clear the hurdles involved in getting your business in the news.

The WebSiteMarketingPlan.com Network News, April 7, 2004

Over the past couple of weeks we have been working on developing new tools that will make it easier for you to find information on The WebSiteMarketingPlan.com Network.

Add WebSiteMarketingPlan.com Network Headlines to Your “My Yahoo!” Page

You can now easily add the WebSiteMarketingPlan.com Network new articles headlines to your “My Yahoo!” page. Once added, you will see the headlines for the five most recent articles placed on the network.

Simply press the “Add to My Yahoo!” button located near the bottom of the navigation menu on most WebSiteMarketingPlan.com pages.

Yahoo! is still working out the beta bugs, so you may get a “feed not available” first time. If so, wait a few seconds and try again.

WebSiteMarketingPlan.com Network Directory

The second new tool for you is a bit more extensive. I am building a WebSiteMarketingPlan.com Network Web Directory that will help you locate articles, products, and services across the Network and Internet. The directory includes only categories that will help you with marketing plans, business planning, and program implementation.

Unlike many directories, this is NOT a link exchange program. The resources are chosen based on how well they help with planning and implementation.

The directory is a work in progress, so it is a bit rough looking just now. There are, however, several marketing plan, ecommerce, and public relations articles loaded along with a few others. Take a look:
