In this edition of the Small Business Trends Radio show, host Anita Campbell has as her guest in this conversation, internet marketing guru, Jim Kukral of Revenews.com. Jim makes his living helping others be successful with online marketing.

This conversation is terrific because whatever your experience level, there is valuable information and advice for you. Jim starts off with defining and discussing some commonly used terms like: Email Marketing, Blogging, Search Engine Marketing and Affiliate Marketing.

Then he moves into the Top 10 Online Marketing Mistakes list — done in David Letterman style. Let me share with you a few of the Top 10. Keep in mind he provides much more than the listed items, but also details behind why they are mistakes and how to do it right.

• Number 10: If You Build It, They Will Come (Just put up a site and customers will show up, WRONG!)

• Number 9: Splash Page: Don’t Do It! (You know the fancy graphic show that keeps your customers from finding what they want)

• Number 8: Long Content (We don’t read online, we browse, we skim, we jump around. Don’t make your customers work so hard.)

• Number 7: No Email Sign-Up Box on the Website (Customers visit and you don’t capture them for future contact?)

Ok, that’s enough of a sneak preview. Take the time and listen right now and you will be on your way to improving your online marketing.
