Changes at YEA-NAY Marketing
It’s been awhile since we updated. Here’s the low-down: We’re all pretty burnt-out doing this business, so we’ve decided to pull back. Some of our clients need ongoing support for things like web hosting and print services, and those are things we can do ‘on the side.’ So we are suspending all other services for the time being (this actually went into effect the first week of April, but I’m slow updating here). If you are in need of any of the services we formerly provided, we know great people in each of those fields and can give you a personal...

Two bills are currently before Congress which have the very real potential to threaten the way we do business today. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is the House version, and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) is the Senate version. Calling them ‘versions’ isn’t entirely accurate, because they are distinctly separate bills, but both have overlapping aims of broad censorship capabilities for internet sites accused of containing copyright-infringing content. While YEA-NAY Marketing fully supports the rights of copyright holders as presently constituted (YEA-NAY...

Sometimes you just have to find joy in the little things in life. Of course, all of our Utah friends (and their friends on Facebook) saw this photo earlier this week from an unsuspecting Arby’s in Orem, Utah: But we have our own little Holy War anecdote I thought was interesting: yea-nay.com/archive/08-12//archive/08-12//archive/08-12/ is ranked #2 (organic results, after videos) for the keyword “rise above the blues.” Rise Above the Blues is a famous ‘Mormonad’ printed in the LDS Church’s New Era magazine for teens.

Read MoreAre You the Bottleneck?
You are an entrepreneur. You are a go-getter. Things get done. You’re out networking, talking to people, doing deals, etc. But do you ever ask yourself “if only ____ happened, we’d be at the next level”? Or “if we had ____ device this would make things happen easier”? Did you ever consider, that your lack of this or that might not be the root of the problem, but a cover up for the real issue? You might be your biggest problem? Wait a minute! Let me finish! Am I crazy? Maybe– but let’s think about this. Yes, you are probably...
