  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Build Your Business Online with A Digital Profile

These days building your business online is more than just having a website. Your website might be thought of as more of a central focal point or epicenter of your online promotion.

This may be more of the reality because you control your website. Therefore, you decide the focus and the purpose on your own website.

But your website will only be successful in relation to other major websites, applications, and online properties online. This is the case even if you have an ad budget in the millions of dollars to drive visitors to your site.

For instance your site will need to get site visitors from high traffic online destinations. These high traffic destinations today will be search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo!

Search engines are crucial to getting ongoing Internet traffic. These online destinations get Billions of online visitors a month. We already know this if you are reading this information.

But increasing social media sites empowered by video are becoming important online media properties in which to get web traffic. FaceBook has over 250 million users as of this writing, MySpace is holding up at about the same numbers.

YouTube.com reported in May 2009 about 7 Billion videos a month downloaded. In May 2009 it was reported by com.score that there were about 16.8 Billion videos downloaded on the Internet with over 50% being requested on YouTube.

Since your website is essentially a file on a computer (called a server) it is similar to a Word Document on your PC or MAC in that: NO One knows about IT but you and maybe your loved ones! In order for people know about it you have to get links or an online presence on other high traffic sites.

The more exposure on high traffic sites like Google, Bing, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, LinkedIN and Yahoo! the better. Therefore, our goal in marketing our businesses online isn't just building a nice website but we have to develop a digital profile on high traffic online destinations and drive traffic to our sites.

This is a change in the thinking of many entrepreneurs looking to promote themselves online. But a change that is necessary to thrive and survive online.
