Hello Nate, great to see you here!

Keep in mind that even if your site is broad in nature, search engines rank *pages* – so your individual posts or pages can be as micro-niched or specific as you like… which gives you tons of opportunity to go wide with your content.

Hi Lynn, I have been on your mailing list for a crazy amount of time. This is the first time I have commented on your blog, so… hello.

I am intrigued that you have mentioned a principle created by Rosser Reeves (USP) who believed in highly annoying ads and even promoted smoking. It is definitely a worthy principle to study though, even though the original purveyor kind of fizzled out.

Do you study much about these legendary marketing gurus?

With regards to the email that you sent about multiple streams I believe you are correct. I actually concentrate on the fat loss and health industry now… although the site is covering self development/ self help, which is not even an industry but an entire base category. It is pretty broad! Even though I am concentrating on the dieting industry I am aware that I have to further split that down into niches and possibly sub niches as well… “like fat loss before weddings”, “stopping ones children from getting fat” etc.

Good info Lynn. Recently found info on this explaining the niche area with blogs and the general product sales as affiliates or general merchandiser. That helped to filter a lot of confusion.
Your so right about social networks. I had to question Twitter when I first looked at it. Lets be honest some people just don’t have a life. Twitter is great for people with a large audience or who need fast contact with minimal text.
I found out FAcebook was also an alternative for people who decided to stay away from MySpace. A large group of parents in California allowed their daughters to use Facebook but Myspace was outlawed.
Lynn, information overload is a problem and thanks to your articles sorting things out most of your readers will be able to focus and make some progress.

There are so many Social Networking sites and we still have lives to lead. Can you name your top 3, and would you have a page on each set aside for your business, or yourself? Thanks for your help.

Hi Harmony,

I could easily name my Top 3 social networking sites, but they may not be the same for everyone. People who work in the music industry for example, need to harness MySpace. Certain business models will require a very professional presence, where others can lean towards the more social side – so multiple accounts depends on the person, the business, and the objectives.

I prefer Twitter, MySpace and Facebook (in that order). I have one account on each, and my profiles represent me as a whole – both personally and professionally.

Of the three, my MySpace account is the most “personal” but it still used for much business networking. You are welcome to check it out if you’re interested in seeing how I pull that off: http://www.myspace.com/lynnterry

Coming from an direct sales/customer service back ground, you can guess which struck me the hardest.

ongoing service/support is ESSENTIAL in all walks of business, NOT just DS, IM also….

Respond to comments, and emails. Answer questions to the best of your ability or FIND the right answer for them…etc.

Awesome post as always Lynn.

I loved this post. In my home party plans blog I cover this subject with my readers as way to help them. I believe 100% marketing is marketing and business is business regardless of what you are doing. There principles are the same!

Kudos on a great piece!

Hi Lynn,
Great post and very timely for me as I’m just heading into a new niche. Your point about taking note of a sites that keeps your interest and putting them in a swipe file is a great one. I would have to say you’re in my swipe file. Keep up the great work.

Great follow up post. I’ve done a lot this year to shut out noise around me and you’re right, some stand out and stay interesting to me. These people I would never shut out.

Nice job once again Lynn…:) And you have hit the nail on the head bringing this type of USP into play both on and off-line. It’s why, out of a ton of restaurants and coffee shops around my neighborhood, I’ll constantly frequent one or two at the most. It’s that personal touch that adds character and quality of experience that I like. And it is what I try to offer my online readers as well. The fact that they are taking the time to “visit” me everyday means that I owe them all that I can give. Thanks again for a great read.
