How to Stay Composed During Contentious TV Interviews
NOTE: Brad Phillips was a Producer for CNN's The Capital Gang from 2000-2001.Robert Novak’s meltdown on CNN’s Inside Politics was predictable, perhaps. After all, he’s spent the past two years fending off growing public criticism for his role in the Valerie Plame leak investigation and has watched helplessly from the sidelines as his media brethren have turned an increasingly scornful eye at his silence. If there’s one thing “old school” reporters like Mr. Novak can’t stand, it’s being part of a story they’re supposed to be covering.But when he swore after James Carville’s mild provocations and stormed off the set, it was a complete surprise. I ought to know. I used to be Robert Novak’s producer.Within hours of his outburst, more than 300 news stories – from as far away as Russia, India and South Africa – had already appeared about the incident. With each story, you could faintly hear the echo of liberal commentators uncorking bottles of champagne. Media darling Jon Stewart went so far as to rub his nipples with delight on The Daily Show.It’s an unsurprising case of schadenfreude, perhaps, since Novak has spent years mocking politicians who self destruct on camera. In early 2004, for example, he wrote about Howard Dean that, “Being overworked is a poor excuse for Dean’s gaffes.”Robert Novak just had his Dean scream moment.He’s not alone.Today, as a full-time media trainer, I see spokespeople from across the nation embarrassing themselves unnecessarily. One recent client, a high-ranking city official, also ripped off his lapel microphone and stormed out of an interview only to see the clip used for seven straight days on the local news.But the job of a journalist – particularly a television journalist – is to elicit drama. By pairing conservative vs. liberal, the entire construct of the show is intended to create a f
One of the biggest misconceptions with new webmasters is that you need to hire an "expert" in SEO to achieve high rankings. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is not rocket science. You don't need a degree or a doctorate in IT or marketing to apply effective SEO techniques. There are, however, several rookie mistakes that are made by many new webmasters. This guide focuses on these mistakes and explains how to avoid them.

Mistake #1 - Poor Keyword Analysis (or non-Analysis)
The Mistake: You've found a niche for a website that fills a void that has been missing online for years. You build your website and fill it with all kinds of great unique content and finally launch it to the world! Traffic starts off slow... and stays that way for several months and you're left perplexed on why people aren't finding your site.
The Reality: You've launched your website too soon, without doing proper keyword analysis. Keyword analysis is the process of analyzing the keywords search engine users have been searching on the most that best matches your niche. The goal is to target keywords that get the most searches and have the lightest amount of competition. Before you launch your website (or even write content), proper keyword analysis is a must!

Technology Outsourcing and Domestic Consequences
The increase of human capital in developing countries has impacted the United State’s workforce through domestic firms’ increasing overseas subcontracting. The industries specializing in information technology have been utilizing this increase of foreign human capital the most. From a study of 179 IT managers a reported 69% outsource their information technology services (Outsourcing statistics). This extremely high number shows the trend of the industry, and if countries like India, who is becoming the forerunner of outsource operations, continue to become more efficient and economical, that number may become even higher. The question is whether or not the foreign IT service providers can keep up with estimated growth, or if poor infrastructures will fall the massive flow of work into their sectors.According to a new study, as a result of increased foreign subcontracting, the information technology industry has lost 403,300 jobs from the start of the recession in March 2001 to April 2004. Nearly half of those jobs were lost after the recession's official end. This has left thousands of experienced IT professionals at the waysides of their dominatingly efficient foreign counterparts. What makes the foreign IT firms more economical to upper management is their ability to undercut domestic work by accepting lower than industry standard wages while also maintaining an extremely efficient firm (Frauenheim).The largest player of IT service outsourcing operations is India. The number of developers in India who service primarily US markets is 250,000. This makes them a significant contributor to the total number of programmers a company has to draw form. In the United States there are about 500,000 developers, where roughly half are in product development. This makes the Indian programmer pool equal to the available domestic programming pool.

Do You Have an Exclusive Market Segment?
You do if you're a business, non-profit or association manager with important external stakeholders whose behaviors affect your department, division or subsidiary the most.In your own best interests, here's what you'd better be doing about them.Accept the fact that the right PR actually CAN alter individual perception that leads to the kinds of changed behaviors that can help you succeed.That confidence will position you to do something positive about those behaviors. Specifically, to create actual behavior change among your key outside audiences which leads directly to achieving your managerial objectives.But is there a roadmap available that will get everyone working towards the same external audience behaviors, and that insures that your organization's public relations effort stays sharply focused?There sure is, and the blueprint goes like this: people act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired-action the very people whose behaviors affect the organization the most, the public relations mission is accomplished.What sort of results would you expect from such an approach? You could see membership applications on the rise; new proposals for strategic alliances and joint ventures; rebounds in showroom visits; enhanced activist group relations, and expanded feedback channels; as well as community service and sponsorship opportunities; not to mention new thoughtleader and special event contacts.As the effort takes hold, you might see improved relations with government agencies and legislative bodies, stronger relationships with the educational, labor, financial and healthcare communities; prospects sta

What Is An Affiliate Network
Now that you've started learning about Affiliate Marketing, you may have come across another term that's a bit new to you: Affiliate Networks. So what are they?In short, an affiliate network is a third party service, that allows you to sign up for, manage, and earn from many affiliate programs all at once. That's a bit of a mouthful so I'll break it down further.Let's say you want to earn money by promoting exercise equipment. So you start looking around the web to find good affiliate programs in this market. You quickly find there are hundreds of them.Now if these were all independant affiliate programs, you'd have to sign up for each one individually. This means if you wanted to promote 25 different merchants who sell exercise equipment, you'd have to fill out 25 separate affiliate applications, manage 25 different website logins and passwords, and you'd receive 25 different checks once you started earning money.To make matters worse, you'd have to deal with the individual restrictions with each one as well. So if each program required you to earn $50 before they sent your commission payments, it could take quite awhile to earn enough from each one to receive your checks.And that's the major appeal of affiliate networks. When you use a network, you sign up once. You have one application to fill out, and one login to manage. In most cases, you also receive just one combined payment as well. But you can sign up for hundreds of different merchant affiliate programs through the one affiliate network. Then even if you only earn $5 commission from each merchant, the total amount earned is combined for you into one payment.Now an important note: Not all affiliate networks combine earnings from all of your affiliated merchants. Most of the big ones do though, and this is where you need to do your research before signing up. It's much e

Using a Marketing Calendar Template
Owning a small business isn’t easy, especially if you are running it alone. Between moving products, taking orders, paying bills, and taking care of family, it is easy to lose track of everything you need to do. Using a calendar template to organize and manage your marketing strategy will ensure you don’t drop the ball with one of the most important parts of your business.Developing a Marketing StrategyFirst, research and identify who your target clientele is, and what characteristics they share that make them valuable to you. If you have developed software that organizes and manages an online calendar, you probably will not want to target 14-year-old skateboarders. But it is not enough just to identify an age category or an activity your target market shares – you need to consider socio-economic status, buying habits, and potential for up-selling. I may be in Porsche’s target age group, but I am definitely not in their target tax bracket!Second, after identifying who you will be targeting, research and explore venues for your advertising message. The demographics of your desired customers will play a key role in deciding which venues to pursue, so don’t forget about them. Examples of marketing venues available to you include newspaper ads, bus stop banners, sports team sponsorships, online marketing (including pay-per-click campaigns and search engine optimization), local television spots, and, if you’re feeling extra ambitious, the Super Bowl.Finally, after identifying your desired customers and selecting which marketing venues you will pursue, create a marketing calendar. Calendar templates are available online for download and use.
