			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for a good email marketing service, I have tried many of them. I have tried at least Constant Contact, AWeber, iContact, RatePoint, Vertical Response.</p>
<p>In fact, I have used Constant Contact, AWeber and iContact for a long time. All of them have been making improvements on a consistent basis.</p>
<p>The best thing about Constant Contact was the email editor. It was the best hands-down. However, iContact has just upgraded their Message Builder and it is pretty good.</p>
<p>In the past, I have found Constant Contact to be the best for regular (ie weekly, monthly) email  newsletters, and AWeber for auto-responders.</p>
<p>However, now that iContact has upgraded their Message Builder, I recommend <a title="Email Marketing Service" href="http://www.icontact.com/?cobrand=333775" target="_blank">iContact</a> for all email marketing services. It is now a good service for both regular newsletters as well as for auto-responders.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago, I walked into the office of a new client. Their VP of marketing told me that they were in a very difficult situation&#8230;</p>
<p>They were being overwhelmed with the number of website visitors that had contacted them. Now they didn&#8217;t have enough sales people to follow up with all these new contacts.</p>
<p>In the past, they usually had about 10 &#8211; 15 people sign up and attend their events. However, this time, they had almost 100 people attend the event.</p>
<p>So what was the difference?</p>
<p>They had changed the way that they get website visitors to make contact with them &#8211; based on our recommendations.</p>
<p>Do you want to know what they did?</p>
<p>We have recorded some free videos to show you. Go ahead and watch them (they are pretty short):</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a title="Internet Marketing Videos" href="http://www.wiseinternetsolutions.com/html/videos.php" target="_blank">Watch Free Videos</a></p>
<p>The videos also tell you what to do with the new contacts so that you do not waste the time of the sales people. The complete system automates much of what sales people usually do. This way, the same number of sales people can get more business with less effort.</p>
<p><a title="Internet Marketing Videos" href="http://www.wiseinternetsolutions.com/html/videos.php">Watch the videos now</a>&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people start a business with a great idea. Other people that are already in business set out to develop a new product or service that they are sure will sell.</p>
<p>Do you have a product or service that you want to sell?</p>
<p>Save yourself truckloads of money by doing a simple thing &#8211; find out if people want it. One quick way is to &#8220;ask Google&#8221;. Google provides a free tool that will give you an answer in a minute. It is called the Google Keyword Tool:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal">https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal</a></p>
<p>Type in the product or service that you want to sell and see how many people search for this every month. Make sure you use generic terms rather than your product / service name (ie &#8220;soft drink&#8221; rather than &#8220;Acme Cola&#8221;).</p>
<p>If it is a local or regional service, then include the name of your town, state, etc in the search term.</p>

<p>Take a look at this video:</p>
