When we think of the holidays, we often find ourselves reminiscing on the past, while the only future we consider is that “there are ‘X’ number of shopping days till Christmas”. But according to many scientists, our Christmases Yet-to-Come promise some amazing new wonders. Let’s look at the predictions that could be coming true in the next ten years:
The fawning admirers.
The paparazzi.
The endless string of parties.
It’s just another day in the life of an aspiring celebrity. The problem is you’re not an aspiring celebrity, but that endless string of parties is all too real. Some of them you’re looking forward to. Others… well, you’ll need to at least make an appearance if nothing else.
Hawaii is a beautiful place to visit. It has spectacular beaches, awesome vistas found nowhere else in the world and, of course, some of planet Earth’s most perfect weather. While you’re there, you might choose to stay on the island of Oahu, home to the capital city of Honolulu. A little way west you’ll find the Pearl Harbor National Monument. It’s a serene place these days. You can tour the wreckage of the U.S.S. Arizona or quietly stroll through the grounds. Looking up at the peaceful blue sky and the palm trees gently swaying in the tropical breeze, it’s hard to image this place was once a scene of fiery destruction and death.

You bet they are. It’s the holiday season, after all.
Local and online retailers have been very busy boosting buying morale this season and, as a small business owner or entrepreneur, you can ride their coattails.
Take a few minutes to think about what you offer that your clients/customers/patients or prospects would ‘click to buy’ or take a trip to your location to purchase.
You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘content marketing’ somewhere in your travels. If you haven’t, rest assured you probably will. It’s often cheaper than traditional advertising, more easily accessible to an increasingly mobile audience and provides a more valuable and personal touch.
Content marketing can indeed be a powerful way to take your business to the next level. But to get started, you’ll need a plan that works with your existing business goals. Here are some things to consider before you put that plan together:

A double or single what? We’re talking about whether you have your new list members double opt-in or not bother with that ‘extra’ step.
You may be asking what the heck is an opt-in anyway, never mind the difference between a single or a double… I’ll bet more of you know the difference between a single or double glass of fine single malt scotch. So, let me define what I mean.

What to write about… how much and how often… how to give without giving away the farm… how to monetize the effort…
In fact, the strategy for writing content is, or should be, closely aligned with how you run your business. It’s not about throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks, or it shouldn’t be.
