  • Time to Update Those Copyright Notices!

    Have you changed the copyright notice at the bottom of your website? Now’s the time to do it! After all… nothing says, “we aren’t paying attention” like last year’s date (or worse: an even earlier year!) being displayed on a website through mid-June (or whenever it is we happen to catch it). So… in addition to [...]

  • How to Handle Negative Reviews and Feedback

    Recently, I was talking with a client who was reluctant to set up a profile on Google Places for his business. “What if people leave negative reviews?,” he asked. “You can’t do anything about it, can you?” A valid point. Unlike a WordPress blog or even a Facebook page, profiles in Google Places (and many other business [...]

  • Convert Your Facebook Profile into a Business Page

    Almost every time I speak to an audience of business owners, there’s at least one in the crowd. Someone (or their nephew) created a Facebook “profile” for their business instead of a business “page.” What’s the difference? A Facebook “Profile” (soon to be called a “timeline”) has a first and last name, and can send and receive “Friend” [...]

  • How to Celebrate Columbus Day in 2011

    Once in a while, we have to make room for the wacky humor of ye olde Epiphany crewe to get out in the open. Today’s post is a guest blog from one of the team we usually keep hidden away from the general public. Enjoy! – David Today is considered a holiday by some and a [...]

  • Free Stuff on National Coffee Day!

    Today is National Coffee Day. I still haven’t figured out whose idea that was, but hey… I’m all for celebrating! Especially the beverage that I spend so much of my time with, and even attribute some of my business success to! Why do I attribute some of my business success to it, you ask? Well… aside from [...]

Epiphany Marketing on Faith Life Now

Epiphany Marketing got a little attention thanks to Gary & Drenda Keesee from Faith Life Now. I was privileged to have the opportunity to join Gary & Drenda for an episode of their television broadcast so we could talk about business.

We talked mostly about the overwhelming opportunity in today’s economy. Anyone hoping to start a business may find this climate more conducive than ever to launching new business ideas. It’s more cost effective than ever before to spread the word about what you do, and the rapidly-changing marketplace highly favors anyone who has a desire to solve problems.

If you’d like to check it out, you can head over to FaithLifeNow.com and watch the episode on their website. Don’t know how long it will be posted, so do it right away! There’s also a great deal on our Kingdom Thoughts audio series.

Not only are Gary & Drenda wonderful human beings, but they have an incredible staff. It was truly a pleasure to be a part of this episode, and I’m looking forward to being with them again in the future!

Marketing in the New Economy

Quick note: after listening to the needs of a lot of people who own and work for small businesses, I’ve decided that — once we get through the holiday season — it’s time to start a movement.

I’m so passionate about helping people leverage 21st-Century technologies and adapt to the new environment, that I’ve been busy cooking up some new plans for the new year.

Monty Python reacts… to Social Media!

And now for something completely different in the battle for copyright controls on YouTube… When all else fails, give the content away!

While the Python troupe aren’t the first to make this move, they just might be the funniest! In all seriousness, this is truly something that could only occur in the 21st Century.

Let’s face it, everyone who has tried to fight “piracy” on YouTube has ended up smelling like elderberries. I’m all for copyrights (I own a bunch myself), but you aren’t going to stop theft on YouTube… nor are you going to win over any fans.

Python reacts in style… give it away (in higher quality, no less), but ask people to buy your stuff! Pefecto!
