		<title>When &#8220;Local&#8221; is a Curse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the major advancements in the internet in the last few years is a greater emphasis on Local marketing. The internet evolved through a few phases, and is finally to the point where enough businesses have websites that local marketing is effective for some businesses, especially those in larger metro areas.

		<title>What Google Doesn&#8217;t Want You to Know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you own a website, you may think that the information released by Google is reliable information to base your actions upon regarding your website. You&#8217;d only be partially right. Because Google doesn&#8217;t tell you everything, and doesn&#8217;t want you to know everything.
Google has a set of standards. They want you to think that those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Advertising on FaceBook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been a new experience to begin experimenting with advertising on FaceBook. I have run, or attempted to run, several ads, and one of my associates also used FB ads.
They can be purchased as PPC, or Pay Per Page Load (referred to as CPM). PPC costs more per, but is action based. CPM just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Call Me Paranoid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a little suspicious of some of the free things Google is offering now. Because I distrust their motives, and I distrust the way in which their freebies can affect my business. Most of my colleagues are raving about them, but I am not feeling compelled to jump on the Google train and just go [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wearying Process of Supply and Demand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We bought a truck this week. It was the most difficult and exhausting vehicle purchase we have ever made! And it all had to do with supply and demand, and the economic effects of a recession on a particular product line.
We wanted a truck. But not just any truck. A 3/4 ton or better. Now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Difference Between FaceBook Pages and Profiles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pages and Profiles are two separate things, with two separate purposes on FaceBook. But if you don&#8217;t know the lingo, they can sound like the same thing.
A PROFILE is what you start with. It has some rules, and it does some thing, for a specific purpose.
It is designed to let you communicate within a group [...]]]></description>

		<title>Earning More than Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;All things being equal, business owners do not make more money than those who hold a corporate job.&#8221;
All things are not equal. I get up every day and go to work, in my livingroom, and I earn more than just mere money.

I earn time with my husband. A precious commodity, even though working together in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deciding Whether to Garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written several gardening metaphors for business and family. Right now, I don&#8217;t have another one in me. But where I&#8217;m at may be one anyway.
We&#8217;ve gardened out here for three years. Two years did ok, and last year was a complete flop. A combination of weather, lack of water, and deer left us with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating Online Lessons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is just so much more complicated than I thought it would be! Learning to use an LMS is just another learning curve for me. I managed to figure that out. But figuring out how to do a brain dump, in a combination of text, images, videos, audios, site links, and software downloads, is downright [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eliminating the Competition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In theory, if you create a product that the competition can&#8217;t touch, you have effectively eliminated the competition. But only in theory. In reality, the competition still has as much of an effect on you as always.
It is a powerful strategy to define and separate yourself from the competition by what you offer. By doing [...]]]></description>
