Curiosity: Tweeting Images from Mars but Entrepreneurs Still Grounded

The “Curiosity” has landed and we can now Tweet images from Mars, yet many entrepreneurs still seem unable to get around to launching their own startups or are holding back their success online because they aren’t even using their own original photos.
Images have become increasingly important to SEO. They draw and attract additional web traffic as search engines increase their value, not to mention the help of the popular Pinterest. Still, some blog and small business owners continue to resort to pilfering other companies’ images from the web or neglect to include them at all, missing out on one of the key ingredients to a well-rounded SEO strategy, and realizing their full marketing and revenue potential online.
Text content may rule but a more diverse media mix including photos and video is necessary to stay on top. Even entrepreneurs on a budget can commission images, video, and stunning infographics from outsourced providers relatively inexpensively or shoot and create their own.
Those aspiring entrepreneurs still struggling to find the time or focus to get a business of their own launched need to recognize that there has never been a better time to do it and that the only thing holding them back is themselves.
If funds are a problem, entrepreneurs should check out Crowdfunding. Crowdfunding has made it easier than ever to get funded and launch or take an idea to the next level. Even without outside capital, simply acquiring a well-chosen vanity number can open many doors and result in tons of revenues as a referral partner in any industry.
Even simply following their passions with a great blog or developing a massive social following can be incredibly rewarding, especially when monetized with affiliate programs, whether it is reselling toll free numbers, web domain names, or another related product or service.
