It’s all part of the Scientific Process, which was introduced to us back around the 5th grade, but unless we went on to pursue careers in science-based  fields, we promptly forgot about it. However, if we eventually wandered [...]]]> http://immania.com/general-im/who-uses-google-trends/feed/ 3 http://immania.com/observations/im-in-an-uncertain-economy/ http://immania.com/observations/im-in-an-uncertain-economy/#comments Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:51:19 +0000 Rich http://immania.com/observations/im-in-an-uncertain-economy/ Well, the numbers are finally in and the US retail sector had its worst holiday season in 5 years. Economists had been predicting this even before the 2007 holiday shopping season kicked into gear. Actually, anyone paying any attention at all to the dire economic news — sub-prime mortgage mess, turmoil in the credit markets, [...]]]> http://immania.com/observations/im-in-an-uncertain-economy/feed/ 4 http://immania.com/general-im/im-goals-for-2008/ http://immania.com/general-im/im-goals-for-2008/#comments Wed, 02 Jan 2008 23:17:09 +0000 Rich http://immania.com/general-im/im-goals-for-2008/ First off, Happy (belated) New Year! It looks like I’ve stumbled a bit out of the gate heading into the new year. One of my resolutions (I hate that word) is to post more frequently here at IMMania.com. I’m really going to work on that. I got to! Rather than hash over the same old resolutions/goals that [...]]]> http://immania.com/general-im/im-goals-for-2008/feed/ 0 http://immania.com/general-im/dont-leave-money-on-the-table/ http://immania.com/general-im/dont-leave-money-on-the-table/#comments Thu, 18 Oct 2007 15:17:16 +0000 Rich http://immania.com/general-im/dont-leave-money-on-the-table/ To be honest, I didn’t encounter the expression “Don’t Leave Money On The Table” until I was working for a very small startup about 5 years ago. The expression struck me as amusing since who would be silly enough to or wealthy enough for that matter to just leave money behind? It brought to mind the [...]]]> http://immania.com/general-im/dont-leave-money-on-the-table/feed/ 0 http://immania.com/general-im/is-ppc-classroom-right-for-newbies/ http://immania.com/general-im/is-ppc-classroom-right-for-newbies/#comments Wed, 03 Oct 2007 02:57:00 +0000 Rich http://immania.com/general-im/is-ppc-classroom-right-for-newbies/ As I continue to chomp at the bit waiting to get started with PPC Classroom, I thought I’d post one last time about my initial observations with PPC Classroom. I have no intention at this point of airing dirty laundry from inside the members’ forum or revealing anything further with the status of the course [...]]]> http://immania.com/general-im/is-ppc-classroom-right-for-newbies/feed/ 2 http://immania.com/general-im/time-management-for-internet-marketers/ http://immania.com/general-im/time-management-for-internet-marketers/#comments Tue, 04 Sep 2007 13:53:05 +0000 Rich http://immania.com/general-im/time-management-for-internet-marketers/ An awful lot has been written and discussed about time management strategies for those running an online business. The one constant seems to be the importance of focus. Without a doubt, that is key to getting anything done and moving forward in the growth of your online business. But focus and its importance have pretty much [...]]]> http://immania.com/general-im/time-management-for-internet-marketers/feed/ 0 http://immania.com/general-im/why-immania/ http://immania.com/general-im/why-immania/#comments Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:08:10 +0000 Rich http://immania.com/why-immania/ I thought I should talk a little about the choice of the domain name for this blog. It’s sort of become a bit of a sideline for me, more like a game actually, in coming up with domain names that may turn out to have some value down the line. I even have a membership [...]]]> http://immania.com/general-im/why-immania/feed/ 0 http://immania.com/general-im/welcome-to-immaniacom/ http://immania.com/general-im/welcome-to-immaniacom/#comments Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:19:23 +0000 Rich http://immania.com/welcome-to-immaniacom/ Hey, glad you found your way over here! I’ve had this blog in mind for a while now, but kept putting off building it. Up until this point I’ve avoided doing anything in my online business to do with IM. IM is kind of a saturated space, but I think now is a good time [...]]]> http://immania.com/general-im/welcome-to-immaniacom/feed/ 0
