We all have giants or obstacles that try to keep us from succeeding in our profession every given day. Obstacles seem to try to always get in the way of our dreams and aspirations. In life we all have two choices; we can quit and live in mediocrity and deal with that, or we can rise up and claim the victory that we deserve because we choose to take action.

What happened to actually EARNING a great review. I got an email from a company today that offers their reputation management company that will post reviews, to my clients, that I FABRICATE for just $97/mo. WOW! How terrible is that?!? If you treat a customer well, you earn the right to ask them for their business. Reviews should be earned by providing good service to a client. Not just because it's BS to future customers though; bogus reviews prevent you from making ourselves look in…

So I am working on various digital marketing efforts for this dealership and I decided to do some research to see what photo sharing sites have the best benefits.  I mean I know Flickr to be the best but it has been a while since I last researched.  I figured photobucket , shutterfly, and others would have similar results.  Well I came up with a nice comparison that shows Flickr to be the ultimate site hands down.
