Round Four of the MarketingProfs Book Club: Q&A With 'Robin Hood Marketing' Author. The MarketingProfs Book Club is back with a book that does a lot of good for just causes… by outright stealing know-how from big brands (Robin Hood, anyone?). In "Robin Hood Marketing," Katya Andresen shows you how to sell your cause or mission as successfully as the great marketing minds of corporate America sell their products. The Robin Hood Rules "steal" from the winning formulas that sell everything from socks, cigarettes and mattresses to help show nonprofit marketers how to appeal to their audiences' values and get people to take notice.

Fueling the Engine of Sales Success: Five Keys to Sustainable Self-Motivation. Beaten down by a constant stream of customer "No's," some salespeople find it difficult to pick themselves up and jump back in the game. But there are other salespeople whose motivation and resilience enable them to make every customer call as enthusiastically as if it were the first.

For the majority of us who, perhaps, fall somewhere in the middle, there is an opportunity to increase "motivational intelligence" by keeping in mind five simple principles.

Partnership Brand Marketing—It's About Distribution Channels. Today many companies and brands are engaging in "Partnership Marketing," "Marketing Alliances," "Strategic Partnerships," and even "Partnership Brand Marketing" programs. But often they boil down to just promotions, perhaps maybe even on a larger scale.

But the true success of partnership brand marketing lies in its power to open up new and alternative channels of distribution for both the companies and the brands involved.

Creating custom feeds in WordPress.

Most WordPress blogs throw off RSS feeds for posts and comments by default. But some of the fun with RSS comes from repackaging and republishing content from blogs that is custom or targeted in nature. Let’s say you follow this blog and want to subscribe only to posts on local search. Or, perhaps I want to republish only posts about PR on my Instant Press Release page.

If you or the blog you are following uses WordPress you can easily create a feed based on a category. Categories are used by most every blogger to help, well, categorize and tag the content for easier searching and search engine notification. To create a category specific feed with WordPress you simply click on any category link (scroll down the lower left sidebar for mine) and add /feed to the end of URL in your browser and “poof” instant category feed. - http://www.domain.com/blog/category/categoryname/feed

Some examples:
http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/category/web-marketing/feed/ - Web Marketing
http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/category/search-engines/feed/ - Search Engines
http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/category/local-search/feed/ - Local Search

Now you can take this URL to Bloglines
or Google Reader and subscribe only to the individual categories of content you want or get really tricky and take this feed to FeedBurner and republish laser focused content on your web pages using their buzz boost feature.

I devoted an entire feature article in my newsletter recently to some other Simple RSS Tricks

Creativity is a walk in the park.

One of the required skills of business ownership is creativity. For some, that may mean creative in the artistic sense, but for all it means creative problem solving, creative financing or creative views of what is and what is not.

We all need various forms of creativity to enhance our lives, market our businesses and, in some cases, survive. But, we all get stuck in deep, non-creative ruts from time to time as well. So, how do you get yourself out of that rut and back into a creative point of view.

For me, it’s nature, or at least a walk in nearby Loose Park. Loose Park is one of Kansas City’s most beautiful parks. The park is home to a lake, picnic areas and a fabulous rose garden. The park was part of a golf course in the 1920s and the gentle rolling terrain is easily identified as such.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt like I couldn’t write another word on this blog and then gone out and done a lap around the park only to find myself, once again, chomping at the bit to write.

Having a surefire way to get unstuck is a necessary small business skill.

So, how do you get unstuck?
