One very simple slump marketing tip is to make a point of slicing time off of projects — especially projects that require web research.

I have a collection of paid tools and services that help collect and organize research material so that I can create training materials, write articles, post to blogs and make blog comments on other people’s blog posts.

One of the best tools that I use is Instant Article Wizard Pro — the developer of this tool has just introduced a free tool to collect and organize lots of search generated content and kicks out 3 summaries of the material.  The summary choice are short, medium and long. Here is a search for “sea turtles are.”

GistWeb enables you to search, sort and summarize web content for free. This slump marketing tip help you to publish more on the web –  publishing more content (to your blog, a community blog like Squidoo.com or HubPages.com, with links back to your website will generate more targeted traffic at little cost to you.

How do you get a great ROI? Start with a low or no-cost basis.
