Brand Identity Guru is a marketing company that, as the name suggests, helps you build your brand identity. They have their own process called BrandMasterpiece™ which helps you build a relationship with your customer which, over time, can help you gain better brand recognition and brand equity.
They not only help you establish this relationship, but also monitor it once it is established to help you take further steps in order to improve your brand. They do everything from websites, brochures, direct mails, catalogs, print ads, you name it and they have it.
Their marketing strategy called BIGPicture helps you find the information that you need to help advance you forward. These techniques not only help you make more informed and intelligent decisions but it makes sure that your brand is strategically positioned, that your MarCom messages are on target, and that you meet your marketing goals.
They help you through marketing strategies, branding stragies, web presence, graphics/logos or through their extensive research programs. Branding is an important concept that every business owner needs to understand in order to maintain long term stability and presence. Branding will not only help you acquire new customers but retain old ones. Its the idea that you see a logo or graphic and are able to recognize the company that it is associated with. In the end, branding is what helps establish a company’s long term presence.
I think BrandIdentityGuru is a great concept and I’d really like to see if anyone has any opinions or thoughts on this as they seem like a great company to help create that bond with your clients or customers. Go check it out!

Have you ever wanted custom t-shirts for your blog? Well, I know that I have but I really didn’t know where to get them. Well, with the help of SonickShack.com you can finally get custom t-shirts made for your blog or website.
They offer a great selection of apparel to choose from such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, polo shirts, banners and even hats. The prices seem somewhat reasonable to me and as usual, the more you order the bigger the discount is. I’m not too sure what the average price is but they seem to offer great quality shirts by Gildan and their printing is digital so its got to be good.
As I have mentioned many times in the past, you can really market your blog by giving away free merchandise. Either way, if you have a branded shirt with your logo on it, it really helps you get ahead of the crowd. If you order a 100 shirts, then giving them away will usually mean that people will blog about it or wear it on their outings. Its really a great way to market. Trust me, when I get a free shirt, it usually gets to go out quite often as I wear them to the gym for my workouts and theres no better way to market them than that.
So if youre looking to expand into a whole new dimension of markteting, I suggest you check out SonicShack and order a few shirts to try out. Happy Shopping!

Subscribe to My FeedCarnival Of Make Money Online
July 9, 2008 | By Enkay | 2 Comments
I hadn’t heard of the Carnival of Making Money Online until I was asked to review them however, the website is similar to Digg on first look but is strictly for bloggers who are in the niche of “Make Money Online”. They are a revenue-sharing social voting site and provide upto 85% of ad revenue to the users that post on the website.
The way this works is that you start off at 15% as long as you have a good reputation and then as you earn points your revenue share will increase to 75%. The other 10% comes from users you refer to the website thereby that doesn’t really add up to 85% technically, but in those terms its close enough.
The way you earn points is as follows:
Submitting a Story - 5 points
Adding a comment to a story - 1 point
Voting on a story - .5 points
This is how many points you will need to reach the 75% revenue share level:
Level - Points - % rev share
Negative karma - negative - 0%
Newbie - 0 to 50 - 15%
Regular Contributor - 51 to 200 - 30%
Fanatic - 201 to 500 - 50%
Crazed Fanatic - 501+ - 75%
They have several different categories just like Digg however their categories are as follows - General, Adsense, Affiliate Programs, Blogging, eBay, Hobbies, Investing, Paid Surveys & Scams. The website seems like a good concept but the only downfall is that its still not set up as a professional website. I like the Digg effect it has but there is just something missing that doesn’t appeal to me and it still needs to grow a bit more before it will be more noticed in the blogosphere and specially by top bloggers. All in all its a great concept that needs work in terms of becoming more popular. So go check out Carnival of MMO.

With the current state of the economy and the rising foreclosure rates in the United States, it may be a good time to find a better rate for your home mortgage and the way to do it is through lowratemortgage.com. Their website helps consumers find information on the current mortgage rates and the trends over the course of a certain amount of time. They help you get the best mortgage rates and even have their free mortgage rate guide.
Their website is pretty well laid out without any unncessary ads unlike the other mortgage websites and they seem to be doing a good job maintaining it. What I really like is that they even have a toll free number that you can call to get a rate quote.
Nowadays, finding a rate quote can be simple but that means that you can receive a lot of spam but LowRateMortgage offers a great privacy policy so that your information is safe and secure.
All in all it seems like a good, safe website. If youre in need of refinancing or getting a lower rate then you might want to give them a shot since they seem like they know what they’re doing. They can help you refinance your current home, finance the purchase of a new home, consolidate your debts or provide you equity loans. Well, if youre looking for a better mortgage rate, check them out!

was recently asked my Clickbooth to review their Blog and their Twitter page and this post will help me do exactly that. Clickbooth is an affiliate network and in the past few weeks, it seems as though the Affiliate Networks are busy trying to get the attention of bloggers.
Lets start with the Clickbooth Blog which you can see in a screenshot below. The blog is well laid out and seems to get the point across with nice brief posts.The only downside is that there should be a clue as to who is posting since it just says Admin and that the blog should probably be updated more often but aside from that it does a great job.
Twitter also seems to be catching on at Clickbooth and people who follow Clickbooth on Twitter are able to get offer updates on their emails or mobile phones. They are also allowing followers to get news and event details as well as giving out prizes to those who respond.
ITheir Twitter page and their blog match in colors which helps you identify them easily and thats a good sign for any company. The whole concept of Clickbooth is that it makes it easy to contact your affiliate manager. Most networks are either creating this method of communication to help you get in touch with someone when you want to and through any medium possible. Click Booth also allows you to do the same by phone, email or AOL Instant Messenger or AIM. I think that doing so definitely makes the affiliate managers more accessible to the needs of its publishers. Either way, check out Clickbooth with their new offers and specially ClickBooth Blog and their Twitter Page!
