5 Ways Marketing Is Like Baking A Cake

DISCLAIMER: I apologize in advance if this makes you want cake while at work today. Marketing, like baking, takes a lot of work, preparation, testing and learning from mistakes. Most bakers do not produce award-winning cakes on their first try. It takes years of practice, learning, trial and error, and time. The same applies to [...]

I came, I threw up, I left. Understanding website bounce rates

First off, if you don’t have Google Analytics installed on your website, do that now. If you need help installing it, I will be happy to help you (will@mediaplug.biz) There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be measuring the amount of visits to your site/blog and drawing conclusions for improvement. Inside of Google Analytics (and most [...]

Music is my outlet, what’s yours?

Hopefully everyone has something they enjoy doing when they aren’t working. Some love to hit the gym, go on runs, read, collect stamps, coins, or sneakers, or play an instrument. I have been fortunately blessed with rhythm, which is unusual because my father can’t keep a beat to save his life (sorry dad). So instead [...]

Increase your business through twitter search

Many people think twitter is where you tell the world what you ate for breakfast or how many times you used the bathroom today. Although true, people do tweet this type of information, they also tweet posts like: “I’m buying a bicycle today, any suggestions on where to go?” “Moving to Indianapolis in July. I [...]

No problem. I have had a SmallerIndiana account for a while now, but have never done anything with it. I have been more active on Twitter and Facebook, but am going to try to keep up with this now too!

Learn To Say No

A lot of my recent blog articles have been inspired by the book “Rework” written by Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson, the

learning how to say no. While reading this, it was like getting sucker punched in

the gut. The entire chapter was written entirely for me. It’s like they knew

me without ever meeting me.

5 Tips To Remembering Someone's Name While Networking

If you’re like me, you meet a handful of new people every week. On an average week I’ll run into 20-30 new people at networking events. One of my biggest struggles when networking is remembering someone’s name when running into them the following week. I am horrible with names, absolutely horrible. Almost to the point to where it’s embarrassing because the person’s name whom I forgot looks at me with that blank look as if they were thinking “Do you really even care who I am?” It’s time to work… Continue

10 Mistakes Start-Up Companies Make

Owning a business and working for oneself seems to have a lot of perks, right? Why wouldn’t everyone want a flexible schedule, no boss, freedom to make their own decisions, etc?

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. "Blatant self-promotion" is discouraged on SI, and "spam" is not welcome. Please be considerate of your fellow members.

7. Display ads (graphic banners designed to promote your business) can only live on your own profile page, unless you are an approved sponsor of Sponsor of Smaller Indiana.

Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
