Commitment - Determination - Hard Work!

Commitment - Determination - Hard Work!

If you're self-employed, underemployed, unemployed, unemployable, senior citizen, disabled, single parents and the disenfranchised of our society you can change all of that and make your dreams of becoming successful a reality.

Home based businesses are becoming more and more popular everyday. The reasons are obvious....like working your own hours with no travel time to and from the office....saving on fuel cost and avoiding traffic jams for hours on end. The way to become truly wealthy is to be in business for yourself. This gives you peace of mind.....and freedom to do the things in life that you have only dreamed about till now.

If your dreams have been to own you own business and didn't have a clue where to begin....now there's hope. In our recent articles we've discussed the importance of owning and using the proper marketing tools in your business. It is also important to learn how to use these tools religiously.

There are automated systems that will do a good part of the work for you. These programs are extremely effective and very affordable. These systems were designed to empower the self employed....etc. By using these effective marketing tools you can earn a lifetime of multiple residual incomes.

There are no free lunch's here folks! It's going to take a lot of hard work. If you are not a self motivated individual or at least be willing to become a regimented person who can follow a plan...then....this program may not be for you. However, if you have a strong work ethics and a positive attitude....the sky is the limit of what you can accomplish in your future.

There is a quote I recently read which says "Success is doing...until you find what works". A good example of this was Babe Ruth....the strike out king of baseball. Why was he so successful in his career? Because he wasn't afraid to step up to the plate and take a swing at the ball even if was outside the box. Babe became one of the most popular icons of the game of baseball simply because he was committed to try and try again. Babe still remains one of the favorite baseball players of all time.

Many peoples idea of success is having great wealth. Some individuals idea of success is to always win. There are also individuals who are totally content to live their life without change. Just doing the everyday mundane chores is fine for many individuals....they have no drive....no desire to better themselves. This stepping out concept is not for them.

There are going to be many times you may fall.....if you fall, get up....brush yourself off....refocus and proceed to try.... try again. Success is not all about having great wealth or always achieving your goals. Wealth is the fruits and the rewards that has come to you from being successful. You have to want success....to achieve success.

Thomas Edison once said "I failed my way to success!" Failure is the end result of successful people who were committed to make it happen.

The great fried chicken king, Colonel Sanders failed several time in his lifetime. He dropped out of school in seventh grade. Had several different jobs covering a vast array of vocations. I read recently that he declared bankruptcy three times in his career, however, at age 65 he took $105 from his first Social Security check to fund visits...for potential franchisees. He hit on the secret of success. He got that secret recipe we often hear about. Not just the combination of herbs and spices.....but the recipe for success was determination.....commitment and hard work which gave him a huge reward for all the past efforts he had suffered thru for 65 years. He enjoyed the rewards of his commitment and determination until he passed away at age 91. What a tremendous example of success. The KFC chicken ain't bad either.

Learn the correct way to market and success will follow. Forget the concept of selling on the internet...that will come later if you learn the process of marketing your idea. Once you learn the art and science of marketing you will be able to promote any product or service. Once learned the rewards will be making sales and enjoying the rewards of your persistence, and you....made it all happen. Your success is your hands and only your hands. Stick with big talkers and blow hards....if you want to go nowhere. However, If you desire success.....more than anything else in your future then....learn from the professionals....if you want to become a successful professional then hang with the professionals and learn from them. There are free training sessions being offered online. Take advantage of the classes and apply the things you learn in these classes to further your business promotions. Don't try to go this road alone......let the pro's show you the road map of how to accomplish your journey so you can fulfill your desires and dreams.

Internet Business - In Your Future?

The internet is showing positive signs of being on the verge of another boom that will make the dot.com era look like a church picnic. The internet market is booming and those who are serious about online marketing will reap the reward of this major move on the internet. The eMarketer's statistics for advertising spending in the United States indicates the rise of advertising dollars for both the internet and search engines. Internet advertising is the choice of large and small businesses and is fast becoming the preferred medium for effective advertising. This segment of online marketing growth is outpacing all other traditional methods of advertising in our media history.

Estimates of this emerging advertising media is valued at nearly $13.5 Billion per year by some estimates. The growth rate is about 26% annually according to "Price Waterhouse Coopers". This is only one of many barometers indicating the potential dollars that will be generated....that you could become a part of....in some form of an online business presence.

According to some of the online marketing benchmark guides, SEO is still only a small portion of total worldwide dollars that is being spent on this segment of online marketing. In a recent study it was suggested that only 13% of the Fortune 100 companies had an effective search engine marketing plan in place. The question was ask why! Very simple...most individuals and/or businesses don't understand the process of this important part of marketing and as a result of such uninformed ignorance do nothing at all. It is imperative for each business to take the time and learn the value of search engine optimization and then contact a professional for the help necessary to implement a workable SEO campaign for your business.

Internet Marketing is becoming a profitable booming industry. There are literally hundreds and thousands of legitimate internet businesses, consultants and trainers who earns hundreds of thousand of dollars every month. You too can become a part of this growing opportunity.

However, there are certain questions that you need to ask yourself before you make the plunge into the vast unknown world of internet marketing. Please understand that less than 5% of individuals who attempt an online venture actually succeed. Why? Because they are uninformed or possibly they are not truly committed to this ongoing task of hard work and commitment. With the proper direction you too can become one of the few who are committed enough to become one of the professional few.

Understanding Search Engines

Understanding Search Engines

There are different search engines for different types of applications. There are two types of engines we want to address today. There are the Free Submission Search Engines and there are Manual Submission Search Engines.

The Free Submission Search Engines - are exactly as stated - they allow free submissions. Most of these kind of search engines will also allow some form of automated submission services. There are basically three different types of search engines we can use in our marketing efforts.

There are General Search Engines - Directory Search Engines - FFA Search Engines - To help you understand the differences we will discuss the similarities and differences in greater detail below.

General Search Engines can be referred to in different ways. Some people call then Spider engines and other refer to the general engine as an Indexing Search Engine. With this type of search engine you don't submit your website details...just your URLs. With this type of Search Engine the engine will go to your website and retrieve you site details from the Meta Tag description in the source code. Google, Alta Vista, and many of the major engines use the General Search Engine criteria.

Internet Directory Search Engines - These directories are not automatically generated but are put together in categories and linked together by topics. These directories are compiled by editors and in most cases will produce more laser focused results to a targeted market. One such example of this type of engine is Yahoo.

FFA Search Engines - FFA stands for Free For All links and pages. The FFA pages will have a short comment and in some way will probably be linked together. The FFA are not edited by a review board and the owners of these sites must register the website themselves. This service normally is very effective because it immediately post to the internet and it's free.

As you can see by the descriptions above the time frame for indexing your website by the search engines will vary. Some may post within a matter of hours, while others may take days or weeks to post. Some may not index your URL at all. Be patient and after 30 days you may want to resubmit.

There are additional differences between the various types of search engines that we discussed earlier.

Not all Search Engines accept Auto Submissions so if you want your URL indexed you must do some manual submission in addition to the automated submissions. Many of the manual post are extremely powerful so don't neglect this type of opportunity. You may even want to hand index to the search engines for quicker results. Use your own good judgement and don't over submit.

There are basically three types of search engines we want to discuss in this article. Free Manual Submission - Pay-Per-Inclusion - Pay-Per-Click.

With the Free Manual Submission of course it's free, however you must submit your URLs manually. For example Alta Visit is a Free Engine, however, you must enter the computer image each time you login. Whenever a generated code is required - it is a manual submission. DMOZ is another example...with them you must select the correct category from their directory before you can submit to their system.

With the Pay Per Inclusion Engines any advertiser must pay some form of a fee to get their site listed in the Inclusion search engine. LookSmart, Yahoo and others are Inclusion Engines. Under normal circumstances your website will be indexed within 24 hours and your listing will be updated frequently. You must pay a renewal fee every six months or per year depending how you setup your account. By paying these fees does NOT guarantee a particular position with that search engine. Optimizing your site and hand indexing your URL may earn you a higher ranking.

With the Pay Per Click Search Engines there are four terminologies used to describe this type of service. Pay Per Ranking - Pay Per Placement - Pay Per Performance - Pay Per Position. This process allows you to list your website at a particular position of the search results according to the keyword bid. The higher you bid the higher your site will appear in the search results. You can start your bid from 1 cent per click for most of the major PPC engines, some PPC engines have a minimum bid of 5 cents per click. You list your website by selecting keywords that refer to your products or services. For each keyword you determine how much you are willing to spend and what position you want to compete for.

The information we've discussed here today is merely an overview of the differences between the choices of search engines and how they function. If you have additional questions or need some personal mentoring you can contact our eBiz Solutions Team at the contact information listed below.

Goal Setting!

Goal Setting!

Most people think that goal setting in nothing more that setting down with pen and paper and writing down specific things that we want to accomplish in our life. These goals should be measurable and have a specific time frame.

Personal goals setting is something we've all done in the past....but how many times have we accomplished the goal? Many time our normal everyday activities get in the way of accomplishing our goals. There are two main areas we normally think about when we think of goals. First of all financial goals always seem to be the priority. Sure we've all dreamed about becoming a millionaire....but have we taken the steps in our life to make it all happen? Second.....personal goals is the pivot point in most peoples outcome of success or failure. Personal goal must be realistic in order for the financial goals to become a reality.

It's not enough for us to just write something down and assume it's going to happen. You must make sure you set a specific date and work aggressively towards that goal. If you by chance don't meet your goal, then set another goal and work hard to fulfill that goal. Normally we must have a change of heart and mind to accomplish our goals. Just being the normal every day guy probably won't cut it. You must be the above average individual who thinks outside the box of what the world considers normal.

To accomplish our goals we must be totally focused on the rewards we will receive at the end of our journey and the differences that our efforts have made in our lives and the people around us.

Businesses use the principle of goal setting to motivate their employees. The more employees are motivated, the more they are stimulated and interested in accepting goals. The more difficult the tasks ahead, a smaller group of people will possess the necessary skills and strategies. The business will give the employees incentives to get the employee to work harder for some kind of a reward at a future date. This could be in the form of a nice bonus, promotion, longer vacation or some other carrot that the business will dangle in front of the employee. Those who are motivated will accomplish those goals that have been offered, however, there is always the person who is content with normal job requirements and will not put forth any additional efforts. Who do you think will get recognized for a job well done? I think the answer is quite obvious. Naturally thse who put forth no extra effort are going to blame everybody else for their lack of accomplishment. You'll probably never hear the winners complain at all.

Our goals must be tangible, specific, realistic and a time table for the accomplishment of our goals. Be realistic when setting any goal. You could set a goal of traveling around the world on the hundred dollars you've saved over the last few months. Get real...you would be lucky to get to the next town. However, you could set a realistic goal of backpacking in the Redwoods of California for a week. That's more realistic if you're conservative.

Every goal we will ever have is a matter of problem solving. The more activities, resources, training and support...the more likely your chances of accomplishing your goals. There are a couple of other things that will make a difference. Our intelligence, geographic location and our support availability are a few of the other things that will make a difference in our success.

The following are some quote from Wikipedia ... The Free Encyclopedia:

"Goals focus attention towards goal-relevant activities and away from goal-irrelevant activities.

Goals serve as an energizer; higher goals will induce greater effort while low goals induce lesser effort.

Goals affect persistence; constraints with regard to resources will affect work pace.

Goals activate cognitive knowledge and strategies which allows employees to cope with the situation at hand.

Goal commitment...People will perform better when they are committed to achieve certain goals."

In Summary: Be willing to put your goals on paper. Hang that note in a place that you are forced to look at it on a daily basis. Work toward that goal with all sincerity and be willing to rework your goals if you don't quite get there when you thought you would or you got to your goal sooner than you thought you could. Reconsider how you got to your goal and make adjustment accordingly.

If you need further assistance on setting your realistic goals, you can contact the eBiz Solutions Team for your free 30 minute consultation.

Improve your PageRank!

 
Improve your PageRank!

To get higher page rank on the search engines you must use relevant keywords that represent what you are promoting on the internet. Whether your promoting a product or service you must be descriptive not only for the general publics benefit but also for the search engines if you want to earn Top Positions on Google, Yahoo and Bing.

If you are submitting to directories, not only is it important to use the right keywords, but you must use the right categories to obtain maximum effectiveness. Your articles needs to have relevant keyword rich content to catch the editor's eye. Use your imagination here of what information the customer needs to make an informed choice.

There are some distinct differences of what the potential client and the search engines look for. The client may be impressed with the pictures, flash and scrolling text, however, the search engines look at content. The search engine spiders look for keyword rich text that describes the content of your website. A well done site will have the keywords in the title, first paragraph of the text and in the meta tags in your source code.

The content of your website is the only thing that the search engines are interested in. If you have all the bells and whistles on your site and don't have good content the search engine will ignore your site. Search engines are not looking for a good looking site, they are looking for valuable information .

We mentioned in yesterdays article the importance of choosing the right title. You must have a descriptive title on every page of your site. Each page should have a different title than any other page on your site. There is different ideas on how long the title should be. One of the major search engines states you should not exceed 60 characters and others say you should keep it under 200 characters. Your title should include descriptive information and should be attractive. Why? Because the search engines returns the title in the search results when a query is made.

You have some control on how the search engines position your site with the meta tags. Some search engines do not use meta tags for positioning, however, most of the major search engines do. So I would suggest that you use the meta tags correctly by positioning the meta tags within the of your site.

How you describe you website in the meta tags is important. How you explain what your site is all about is crucial. You must clearly explain in a short area of what you site it all about. This must be done in between 160 to 200 characters. Again the length of the description is different in many search engines. In my opinion if you keep the description less that 200 characters, you should be OK. Note: Only one descriptive meta tag should be used per page.

The description we used yesterday in our example would be a good descriptive tag if you were selling Mickey Mantle baseball cards.

Rare Mickey Mantle Card From 1951, when he hit .267 as a 19-year-old Yankees Rookie!

Keywords are extremely important for the search engine robots. It is acceptable to use keywords or keyword phrases in this area. These should be keywords that a search engine robot would give relevancy to when cataloguing your website. These keywords is how people are going to find your site. There are different opinions of how many keywords you should use. I have seen some search engines who recommend only 20 to 25 works maximum. Others recommend up to 1,000 characters is still acceptable. Use you own good judgment....I normally use no more than 500 - 600 characters. You can use singular or plural words as your keywords. Try to use phrases if you can...not just single words. You can also use general wording or specific words that may be related to your website.

The subject matter we discussed today is found in the source code of your site and the general public will never see what we've talk about here. This information is for the search engines and will help get you recognized on the internet. Just remember, if the search engines can't find you....probably no one else will either.

Search Engine Optimization Tips!

 
Search Engine Optimization Tips!

For the next few day in my articles we will be discussing some valuable information about various marketing topics. By following these writings, and implementing the information in these articles to your site, you will be able to earn higher page ranks with the search engines. You too can earn "Top Positions on Google."

Most of us have some knowledge regarding many of these topics, because we use some of these suggestions in our site on a regular basis.

By making some small modifications to our websites, you can make your sites more user friendly as well as more search engine compliant. These changes may be simple and other changes may become a major restructuring of our existing website. We will hopefully be sharing with you some fresh ideas that you can incorporate into your present site.

Sometimes you may have to acquire the services of the professionals to get the maximum effectiveness out of our business opportunity. Hi my name is Larry L Miller SEM/SEO Consultant, and my eBiz Solutions Team will show you how to make your site more effective.

If we look at only individual items for optimization, the changes may seem minimal, however, by combining all the things suggested you should see a noticeable impact on your potential clients as well as in your placement in organic search engine results.

A few examples of changes we may suggest will include taking a close look at the title of your site. Remember, you must keep the visitors interest in mind. Is the title of your site keyword specific enough that it will blend with the customers search they entered in the Google Search Bar? If the proper keyword or keyword phrase is included in your site title you potential client will relate to it immediately because that is what they typed in the search.

Putting all your concentration on specific tweaks that may help you gain page ranks in the organic search engine results may not give you the results you thought it would. Search Engine Optimization is nothing more than putting your best efforts when you're trying to gain visibility on the search engines.

When you're putting together a website you must be specific about your website business name. If you're selling a product or service make sure the name of the product or service is in the website name. Don't hesitate to put your name in the title if you want to gain name popularity along with promoting your business opportunity.

It is advisable to have your name and product in the domain as well. Many consultant prefer a .com address instead of some of the others such as .net, .org, .biz and the list goes on and on. I personally like the .com if at all possible.

You need to list some of your best keywords or phrases regarding what your product or service is all about. If you're promoting baseball cards for example....use several keyword phrases that you know will turn the potential client's head. Ex: Rare Mickey Mantle card From 1951, when he hit .267 as a 19-year-old Yankees rookie...This will get the attention of any Mickey Mantle collector or fan. Use laser focused keyword and phrases in your website.

There are no rules that I am aware of regarding size of your site. I have heard people say keep your site small.....under 250 pages. Who's going to go through 250 pages....you should use enough pages to give the customer enough information to make an informed choice with pertinent information that will answer their questions about your services.

It is important you create a unique, accurate page title which is unique to each page of your site. The tag must be placed within the tags of the HTML document. If you are fortunate enough for your site to appear in a search results page, the contents of the tag will usually appear in the very first line of the results.

Each search engine has a bit different way they will post the results of any search query. Usually the words in the title will be bold it they appear in the search query. This helps the user to recognize that the page is likely relevant to their search.

If you have additional questions or need some personal mentoring you can contact our eBiz Solutions Team. Our team is standing by to assist you with a free 30 minute consultation. Call today and schedule your appointment today.

WHAT IS COMMITMENT?

WHAT IS COMMITMENT?

Earlier this year we wrote an article "Resolutions vs. Commitment". Today we want to talk a bit further about the term Commitment. If you're not committed to self improvement....you'll never see your full potential.

For those of you who follow my writings, I like to use the definitions of Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, especially for a misunderstood subject such as this. Commitment means different things to different folks. Here is what Wikipedia says:

"Commitment means to show loyalty, duty or pledge to something or someone, and can refer to:

• Personal commitment, interaction dominated by obligations. These obligations may be mutual, or self-imposed, or explicitly stated, or may not. Distinction is often made between commitment as a member of an organization (such as a sporting team, a religion, or as an employee), and a personal commitment, which is often a pledge or promise to ones' self for personal growth.

• Brand commitment refers to the strength of the relationship between consumers (or customers) and a particular brand (or service).

• Organizational commitment can mean something pledged by an organization as opposed to its members.

• In poker, it means that someone will do better by staying in a hand no matter what (even if he probably doesn't have the best hand, he would still win more money by betting all his chips), rather than folding".

Commitment to success of a corporation is imperative, however, commitment is even more important for an individual. The most important factor for individual success is commitment. Commitment sparks action....then results will follow. There are two fundamental aspects of commitment we should consider.

The first is having a strong conviction of your beliefs. The old saying "If you don't stand for something...you'll fall for anything" is so true here. I read recently as one writer said it best...commitment is "persistence with a purpose".

The second important factor is the faithful adherence to those beliefs and is represented by your behavior.

One writer put it perfectly...."It is the strength of these commitments, religiously followed, that led to their business success."

We must be committed to a set of personal values, principles and beliefs. We must have a personal vision and purpose for what we are about to commit to. In our personal life we must have a inherent personal integrity and self confidence. We must have a personal goal for self improvement and follow that goal until we are comfortable with the outcome of our goal.

If we are in business we must remember that "everyone is a customer to someone else." As a business owner you must keep our customers as the number one priority, because without customers our business is absolutely nothing. You must have a marketable product and stand behind that product or service without reservations. If we have employees in our organization, you must treat them with respect, by challenging them and giving them feedback on a job well done. Many times our employee is the one who are on the frontline having the contact with a potential client. "Commitment is a two-way street. You only get it if you're willing to give it."

Being committed and staying committed is no easy task. "Wavering commitment could be considered as no commitment at all". If you're really committed and genuine in that commitment it will always stand the test of time. Commitments will change as time goes on. Current goals may have to be revamped or refined. You may have to take some form of risk to make the changes necessary to fulfill your commitments. Be willing to improve your goals and expectations to accomplish the end results. Keep your commitment in your fore front of your heart and mind and the things you always dreamed about will become a reality.

The combination of supporting behavior and improving behavior are the ingredients of true commitment. If these two issues are separated neither will sustain your overall commitment. Commitment is a personal thing that each of us must face everyday. Being committed and staying committed is a mindset that each of us must address in our lives if we want to become a success.

If you have any questions, or need personal mentoring, the eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in making that personal commitment a reality. You can contact us at the contact information listed below.

Blog Your Way to Better PageRanks!

 

Blog Your Way to Better PageRanks!

You can blog about almost anything on the internet. Some people enjoy just blogging about nonsense because it's something to do. Have you ever considered blogging about your products and services and making money online by blogging?

You can blog about your new business opportunity and tell the world about your new product or service. You can use a blog you've written and create an email campaign with that information. There are untold ideas out there about how to use a blog to promote just about anything you can imagine. Blogging will help you earn better page ranks with the search engines and "Top Positions on Google".

You can Blog about new content to your website regarding your products or services. Other webmasters or individuals may follow your site on a regular basis by subscribing to your RSS feed and follow your writing as new content is posted. Links and backlinks generated by blogging are powerful with the search engines.

Offline promotions can be made more profitable by including your company information on every kind of promotional material you generate. When doing your offline promotions, make sure you include your blog URL on your business cards, letterheads, envelopes, posters, recurring newsletters along with information regarding your company URL. Make sure you include all of this same information on any email campaigns you're involved in.

You can use your blogs in any type of marketing: one example includes social media sites. This type of site is built around the concept of interaction and sharing of information. This makes it easier to match up like minded groups of individuals with relevant content about your business opportunity.

You can write a blog in the form of an article and then post that blog to a number of article directories. There are lots of article directories that will pick up your articles and populate the internet with your articles and blogs for free.

There are certain things you must avoid in your blogging and promoting of your blog.

Avoid blogging about each small addition to your website. It is however, advisable to promote any major addition that will affected the customer perception of your site or the search engines assesment of your site. It is recommended to hand index your site URL with all new content to add to your website.

Avoid questionable blogging and permitting your website to be involved in any type of unethical or untruthful scheme where the content is artificially promoted to higher search engine positions regarding your products or services. Always be truthful and upfront with all aspects of your online offering regarding your business opportunity.

When blogging be cautious about using copy and paste techniques with information you've copied from other sites. You can use other peoples material if you put the information in "quotes" and give the original writer the credit they deserve for that part of the information you included in your blog or article. Giving the name of the original author is not going to hurt your reputation, in fact people with respect you for your honesty. So always.....give credit where credit is due.

I have found it to be very useful to contact the individuals that I want to copy the material from. Develop a good relationship with individuals in the related business community you work in. As an SEM/SEO Consultant, I will contact my competition and even have lunch with them if possible. I always gain some valuable information in these contacts that I can use in my marketing campaigns.

Be very cautious about only sending link requests out to all related sites regarging your topic area or category. If you even think that something might be spam...don't even consider using such information in any type of writing or promoting.

Blogging can be very profitable if done correctly. Blogging and writing articles will help you learn more about your product or service because of the research you must do about your opportunity to write about that product effectively. The more you know about your opportunity the better you will become about writing about your business. If you don't know how to write, start writing. You will learn to write by writing. Write as you talk, don't try to put on a front. Alway be truthful about everything you write. Individuals as well as the search engines will pick upon this scheme very quickly and you will be penalized for your questionable content by both.

If you need additional information regarding blogging or marketing, the eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in your marketing journey on the internet. Call today for your free 30 minute consultation.

More About The Google Keyword Tool!

 
More About The Google Keyword Tool!

We discussed in some of our recent articles that the Google Keyword Tool is a great way to find new keywords for your ad campaigns.

We discussed very little about the Website Content option which is the second part of this powerful tool. With this tool you can find keywords based on your website content. With the keyword tool you have chosen the keywords and phrases you felt would be the correct keywords for your particular opportunity. The website content tool will let you enter the URL of your business website. The AdWords system will then scan your website page and suggest rich relevant key words and phrases.

With this two step process you have just added possibly another 200 additional keywords and phrases that Google has suggested which could help get better exposure for your site. Google does not guarentee it will help, however, if Google has suggested those entries, I'm sure those words and phrases will help in gaining "Top Positions on Google." Nothing is guaranteed on the internet except hard work and consistant posting of fresh keyword rich, relevant content to your articles, blogs, ezines and whatever other mode of advertising you may be involved in.

You can create multiple ad groups with some similar keywords in each group. You are best advised to create more that one ad group for each campaign. Creating several new ad groups may even be advisable. You should keep the groups small, with laser focus on similar keywords you want to promote. You can revert back to the Keyword Tool at this point to search for relevant keywords and phrases. Once you get your list then divide the list into maybe 5 to 20 similar terms. By using this strategy you will be able to promote a single business opportunity or multiple products or services. As you continue to use this tool, you will see all kind of possibilities emerge.

Within your search you may want to choose some negative keywords. In the Keyword Tool be sure to look for some off-topic keywords and phrases that potential clients may be thnking about. Try to use keywords and combination of keywords that if you were not the owner of the site and you were the customer what keywords or keyword phrases would you be typing into the Google search bar to look for the products or services your trying to promote? One example may be puppies. It may suggest the term dogs as a like term. You may want to specify a certain breed that you're promoting. This will narrow the number of responses you will get, however, the responses you do receive will be an interested customer that will make for an easy follow up and potentially you could close the sale. Sometimes even intentally misspelling a word will generate some traffic. Not everyone is as smart as you and I, so they may spell it as it sounds. Don't overdo this part of the process. Use your good judgement because the search engines will catch on real quick and may deduct some points for this type of action.

Use of synonyms is an excellent way of getting creative. All you have to do is sure the the synonyms box is checked in the descriptive words or phrases option. It is always checked by default, so if you uncheck it for whatever reason, make sure you check it before you proceed. One example would be: you might do the search on motels and hotels in a certain area. The tool may suggest a bed and breakfast. If you uncheck the synonym box, then the tool will probably suggest only phrases and keywords that contain at least one of the terms you submitted. Remember ... these are only suggestions ... get a little more creative here.

Make sure you use the language and location option of the program. If your using only the Spanish option of the keyword tool then specify that option because if you don't specify then you're going to get only the English results. In other languages and countries check the language and location that applies to that part of the world.

On your keyword construction start with sort of a broad brush approach and then start narrowing your terms to more specific as you would do in the smaller groups we discussed earlier. For example if you going to search for dogs ... then get more specific as you go on to the particular breeds we talked about earlier. You may not want a pit bull so specify exactly what breed you're wanting to promote. You may require the assistance of some professional to help you with this important chore.

If you need more in-depth suggestions? Google suggest "you try the Search-based Keyword Tool. While it shares some features with the Keyword Tool, the Search-based Keyword Tool displays a list of relevant user queries that have occurred on Google.com (and on other Google search properties), based on your URL. Additionally, the Search-based Keyword Tool provides more detailed data for each keyword, such as category information, suggested bid that may place the ad in the top three spots of a search results page, and Ad/Search share. Learn more about the Search-based Keyword Tool", before you start on your next campaign.

Google AdWords

 
Google AdWords

Today our subject is Google Adwords and we're going to cover some of the benefits this program provides. Most people don't understand what the Google AdWords system is all about. We talked yesterday about finding the best keywords by using the Google Keyword tool. If you had an opportunity to review some of the information in the Keyword Tool section you will quickly understand the huge advantage of having the Google AdWords tool together with the Google Keyword tool in your marketing toolbox.

By using the Google Keyword Tool, you have just began to tap the resources of the Google process I recommend for everyone who is serious about their marketing online future. You too can earn "Top Positions on Google" by utilizing the programs we share with you in our daily marketing articles.

The following is a quote from the "What is Google AdWords"? information page.

"With Google AdWords, you can create and run ads for your business, quickly and simply. Run your ads on Google and our advertising network -- no matter what your budget, you'll only pay when people click your ads".

Some people like the Google AdWords concept and make a lot of money using this part of the Google system for their marketing campaigns. Others don't like it at all because of personal preferences. Study this part of the Google process to see if this might be something you can benefit from in your personal marketing strategies.

"AdWords ads are displayed along with search results when someone searches Google using one of your keywords. That way, you'll be advertising to an audience that's already interested in your business. You can also choose to display your ads on content sites in the growing Google Network. And, you can choose the exact content placements where you'd like your ad to appear, or you can let contextual targeting match your keywords to content".

As you can see there are several crucial areas of marketing that the AdWords system addresses. Here is where the most effective keywords you generated in the Google Keywords we first suggested become very important if you want to make the most out of the Google AdWords tool.

"You can choose from a variety of ad formats, including text, image, and video ads, and easily track your ad performance using the reports available in your account".

Tracking is imperative if you want to make sure you get the most for your advertising dollars. Choose carefully which ad format you use and make sure the text, images and the video ads are structured correctly and meet the Google recommendations and specifications for maximum efficiency.

"There's no minimum monthly charge with AdWords -- just a nominal activation fee. Learn more about the cost of advertising with Google AdWords".

Since there's a nominal activation fee you should check the Google AdWords information site to obtain more specifics about your AdWords bottom line cost before you spend a lot of money. As we have pointed out in several of our recent articles....do you due diligence and understand what this tremendous marketing Google tool does for your online marketing business. To find out more about Google AdWords or to begin creating your ads, visit the AdWords home page.

If you'd like to get started on this profitable road of internet marketing advertising and it's to much of a challenge for you....and you're looking for help, give the eBiz Solutions Team a call. We can help you in your advertising and marketing solutions.

Commitment To Your Future!

Commitment To Your Future!

If you're new to the internet you're probably overwhelmed with the whole concept of online marketing. If you're already marketing online how much do you know about promoting your business opportunity to earn "Top Positions on Google"? Just putting a website on the web and hoping for the best will not get your site recognized by the search engines. This process is an ongoing procedure that you must be passionate about. If the search engine can't find you online....then probably no one else will see you either.

When an individual commits themselves and their assets to venture into the internet marketing arena, there are some serious questions a person must ask themselves. Be very truthful when you answer the following questions. If you can't make such a commitment then online marketing may not be for you. Read each of the four questions carefully and then be very truthful with your answers. If you don't answer these questions truthfully, your only lying to yourself.

    1) Am I really and truly committed to become an online marketer?
    2) Am I willing to devote the time to learn the process of internet marketing?
    3) Am I willing to invest in the marketing tools that I will need to accomplish my marketing goals.
    4) Am I willing to invest in my future monetarily?

If your not willing to put forth the efforts to make it all happen....then it won't happen. However, if you're committed then you can get the help you need to accomplish your marketing dreams. If you don't understand how to do it....then seek the help of the professionals.

Now that there's hope for the little guy who has the desire to succeed the choice in your hands. You don't have to waste a lot of money on things that are not really important to your success. Over the next few months you will accumulate a complete arsenal of marketing tools that simplifies the process of earning while you're learning. Eventually you will need a full compliment of marketing tools including such tools as: Auto responders, e-tracking, submission tools, blogging, free web page, free ffa, blasting programs, lucrative affiliate program, free online VoIP conference room and training on every aspect of marketing and more.

With the tools referred to above, you will be able to perform the necessary marketing campaigns that you would need to promote any business. There are a number of free marketing tools that are very effective and that you can blend into your arsenal of the marketing tools we've mentioned above. We discussed in our recent article the value of the Google Keyword Tool. This is a tool that you need to use often to learn which keyword or phrases applies to your business opportunity. Another free tool we've talked about is the search engine submission tools that are very effective. After you start being proficient online with your marketing, then you can invest in other marketing tools that will automate at least some of your marketing campaigns. Later you can add some form of tracking system so you will be able to track all of your sites. This process is an ongoing challenge to keep up with the latest marketing hardware.

Affordability must be a consideration in the beginning, especially if this is your first endeavor. As you start making money, you will probably want to re-invest into some automated marketing tools. Choose wisely and only after you have done your research. We've talked about this in earlier articles regarding due diligence.

If you need additional information or personal mentoring, please contact the eBiz Solutions Team. Our experts are standing by to assist you in your marketing desires.

Need Information..."Google It"

Need Information..."Google It"

Advertising:

Did you ever ask yourself, why does some businesses thrive online and others just can't seem to get off the ground?? At one time or another most of us have pondered this question. Did you ever see a Coke commercial? Sure we all have seen their ads. Coke Super Bowls ads are fantastic. Those ads are expensive....but extremely powerful. If Coke is #1 in the soft drink industry, why do they have to advertise so much? They must keep their name before the general public to stay #1....or someone else will advertise better than they do and take over their clients and capture the soft drink market which Coke have dominated for years.

If large companies like Coca Cola, Wal Mart and Sears must advertise to maintain their market share, what makes the small business man or woman think they don't have to follow big business examples in advertising? Let's face it....the large companies have more advertising dollars at their disposal to accomplish their advertising objectives, however, the small home based business must reinvest back into their business if that business person expects to have a chance of marketing their business online.

Different Advertising Methods:

There are a number of different ways a business can advertise. Word of mouth is the most effective way to get the word out about your business offering. However, if no one knows you're on the internet, how is anyone going to know that you have something to offer. Then the question is....how can one get the word out? Simply advertise your business opportunity every single day. Consistently, everyday let the world know who you are and that you have something that may be of interest to them. You can do this by writing articles, blogging, social networking or any other media that you feel comfortable with.

Google It:

You can think of almost any subject and "Google It" and this will allow you to search and study numerous programs on the internet, some promising to get rich quick within a matter of hours. We all know that is not true, however, many people fall for the unscrupulous advertising tactics of the charlatans. Don't fall for just anything, do your research....the more you study the various offerings the better you will become in finding the good information necessary to make an informed choice.

I don't know of any corporation or business that was built overnight. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears for any company to get to become a major player in their business field. Consistency is the key to successful online marketing.

Consistent Promoting:

A continuous flow of quality approachable contacts will be the reward of consistent writing and promoting your business opportunity. As we have discussed in recent articles having leads of potential clients is imperative for your business to succeed in this competitive world of internet marketing. You probably are asking yourself right now, how does one go about finding a legitimate program to accomplish such an arduous task? You can do a Google search and come up with any number of sites that will hype their program as the very best. That's understandable, their one and only purpose is to sell something to make them money. Isn't that what marketing is all about? Any program that you find online just make sure you review that program carefully making sure the program fits into your particular business plan and can be applied to your business future.

Need Direction:

The real question should not be....how much money do I need to spend or how many programs do I need to purchase to accomplish my internet marketing goals, but the question should be how can you find that program or combination of programs that has been proven to be the most effective yet affordable marketing combination. I spent five years looking for that special something that would satisfy my marketing needs for my personal business. I spent untold hours and thousands of dollars in that five year period on every type of program that sounded half way decent. That really taught me a serious lesson. My problem was, I had no direction, no compass, no one to show me what to do....I was grasping for anything that might help me learn the process. When you first start down this road of internet marketing, it seems we all go through some degree of blindness in this search for that ultimate marketing system. Don't despair....there's help available that will shorten your learning process.

Free Consultation:

My name is Larry L Miler SEM/SEO Consultant....I help people everyday in finding the right marketing solutions designed for their particular business opportunities.

If you want to succeed in your current business venture, then you should consider the latest technology in software that fits todays marketing needs....giving help....even to the little guy.

Search Google:

You can search Google and there are literally pages and pages of companies offering some form of leads, lead generating and marketing system....you can spend a fortune on many of these programs, and still not have the right program to do the job you need done. You need to seek the services of a professional to help you tailor make your business plan for your future. There is no plan that will fill all the voids of marketing in one system...every person and business has different needs so different plans must be tailored for your particular business venture.

False Promises:

Almost everyday I receive an email stating "if you invest $25 you'll never have to work again, you won't have to make a phone call to talk to clients or do any prospecting. They say you can just sit back and rack in the money while you lay of the beach in the Bahamas sipping exotic adult beverages and watch the money roll into your bank account." Maybe in the past you have given some thought to maybe trying this scam or maybe you've tried such a plan. Let's face it, we all know better than to fall for these unscrupulous ridiculous advertisements. I have yet to talk to one person who has really and truly made enough money to retire on by participating in such a pack of lies. Let's be reallistic and look at what it takes to make it all happen for you.

Business Planning:

Building a business takes time, it takes patience, it takes commitment and don't forget....success does'nt happen overnight. There has to be a viable working plan of action you've put together of what you want to accomplish in your business life. Make a plan and stick to that plan for as long as it takes, at whatever the cost. You may shorten your road to success, by utilizing some new marketing solution ideas. Talk to your marketing consultant for the latest strategies. If you don't have a consultant....get one.

Hand Index Your URL's to the Search Engines!

Hand Index Your URL's to the Search Engines!

In some of our recent articles we've mentioned you should hand index your URL's to the search engines for quicker recognition rather than just waiting for the search engines to pick up your URL on their regular search.

The question is often ask; "how do I hand index my sites to the search engines"? You must understand that each search engine has a different format to follow to accomplish this process. We will only deal with the top three search engines since most search inquiries are made to the big three and many other search engines pull their information from Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Index to Google:

If you want to hand index your URL to Google you simply type in the Google search bar "add url Google" ....there you will find the submission link to click on. When you get into the site there is a detailed description on what you need to be done next. Google adds and updates new sites to their index each time they crawl the web. They do not add every submitted URL to their index, nor will they make any predictions or guarantees regarding whether or not your site will appear.

You must enter the full URL including the http:// prefix. As an option you can add comments or keywords you want to emphasis about your website. What you put in this area does not affect how your page is indexed by Google.

Only submit the URL for your top-level page. The Google crawler, better known as Googlebot, will find the rest of what it needs to index your site accordingly. Google updates it index on a regular basis. It's not necessary to include updated or outdated link submissions. Dead links will go away the next time Google updates their entire index.

Index to MSN (Bing):

Hand indexing your URL's to the MSN (Bing) can be done by going to Google and searching for the term "submit url Bing". You will find their site by clicking on the (Bing URL Submission) header. You may find the process with Bing is simpler to use than the Google submission. All you have to do on the Bing submission is the put your URL and click the submit button.

Index to Yahoo:

To find the path to hand index your URL to Yahoo can be done with the same kind of search method we used above. Type in the Google search bar; "submit URL Yahoo". You will find the "submit a site" header....just click on that link and follow the prompts. The Yahoo provides one extra feature where you can "submit site feed"....If you are going to use this function you should review how it works and understand exactly what the purpose of this function of the tool is designed to do. To begin with be content with using the submit URL portion of their service.

Work with these three submission services....and use them often. By pursuing these simple step you will see some quick results in your exposure and page rank by the search engines. You can do the same process as we've explained above on other popular search engines and you will find the benefits will be well worth the time you may spend indexing your URL's by hand to them also.

The suggestions made in this article are by no means the only things you need to do to get your name and business opportunity recognized online. In the next few articles we will be talking about a number of different activities that will help you increase your online exposure. By combining all of these suggestions together, you will see some very positive results in your marketing quest.

If you have additional questions, or need some personal mentoring you can give the eBiz Solutions Team with BLM Traders a call. The professionals are standing by to assist you in your online endeavors.

Google Keyword Tool

Google Keyword Tool

In this article I want to share with you some information about one of the Google tools I use to help promote my businesses online.

We've discussed in recent articles about the need for proper marketing tools and some the ones that are effective and some of the marketing tools that are nothing more than pure junk that offers little to no value.

Learn How To Use Google Tools:

I personally use a lot of the marketing tools offered by Google I've found that all the tools I've used have been very effective. However, you will need to do your homework on some of these tools and understand how they work in order to get the maximum benefit of that particular marketing tool. If you're not willing to research the tool and its functions and use it correctly then you may be wise  not use it at all. Google has taken great pains to make their tools to work effectively to help you gain Top Positions on Google and other fine search engines.

Use Tool On Each Campaign:

First of all let's talk about the Google Keyword Tool which I use on every one of my personal campaigns. On every marketing campaign for my sites or websites of my clients....I will literally spend hours or sometimes even a couple of days to fine tune which keywords and keyword phrases I need to use for maximum efficiency. Every website is unique and needs to have that special attention to maximize that site with the search engines. If you're not seen on the search engines you won't be seen by the visitors looking for your opportunity.

Google Keyword Tool:

You can use the Google Keyword Tool to get new keyword ideas. Select difference options and enter a few descriptive words or phrases. Keep in mind that if you are building a website you will want to use keywords or keyword phrases that a person would search for if they were going to search for your specific product or service. This is referred to by most people as "Google It".

Important Note: Google cannot guarantee that these keywords will improve your campaign performance. They reserve the right to disapprove any keywords you add. You are responsible for the keywords you select and for ensuring that your use of the keywords does not violate any applicable laws.

Descriptive Words:

There are a couple of ways you can use this tool. You can use descriptive words or phrases and enter the keywords you want to search, one at a time and separate each of the words by a comma. You can also look for synonyms by putting a check mark in the required box.

Website Content Function:

You can also check for keywords by using the website content function. Check the applicable area and Google will search for keywords and phrases that may go with the keywords you are currently using in your website. This is an excellent way to maximize your keywords that you finally use in your source code of your website. All the keywords and phrased may not specifically to your needs. You may be limited to around 200 keywords or phrases in this function. Then edit which of the recommended keywords you feel will be more applicable to your particular offering.

Keyword Count:

There are some disagreements regarding how many keywords should be used in your website source code. In my research I found one company stated that you should not put more than 20 to 25 keywords in your source code, however, I have found a search engine that states you should hold your keyword count at no more than 847 characters. I really don't know the exact count that Google likes, so I personally use somewhere between the 20 keywords to the 847 characters. I think you will be safe by staying somewhere between those figures.

Free Tool:

This is only one of the many Google tools that you can take advantage of when building a website. Did I mention that this is one of the free services that Google provides just for having a Google account. This tool is extremely powerful so use it often and use it wisely

In future articles we will be discussing some additional Google tools that will make your marketing experience more enjoyable, effective and profitable.

If you have additional questions, or maybe you need some personal mentoring, just give us a call. You can contact the eBiz Solutions Team at BLM Traders.Com for your Free 30 minute consultation.

Seven Step Marketing Blueprint!!

Seven Step Marketing Blueprint!!

If your trying to get started on the internet with some kind of business then you need to know a bit about the process of what it takes to promote your opportunity online.

In our last few articles we've discussed some of the elements of marketing. In today's article let's put it all together without any particular marketing plan in mind. There are some required elements you must personally address if you want to fulfill your dreams in marketing online.

1) PLANNING: A good business plan in marketing is like a blueprint for a house you're about to build. What iminities are you going to incorporate into your plans? Sure we all would like the best, however, if you can't justify the biggest and best then work your plan to be realistic for your particular needs. Make sure you consider the plans affordability.

2) PREPARATION: Once you build a workable plan, then follow that plan until you accomplish your goals. This is not going to happen overnight! It probably won't happen this week or maybe even in the next month or maybe this year. Be patient and follow your plan religiously.

3) COMMITMENT: Stick with your goals until you succeed. You can't build a house in a day....neither will you build your online business by tomarrow either. Do'nt set a time frame for your success. Take your plan in steps and when you complete your first step, then implement the next step and devote the time necessary to make it happen. Continue this steady process until you become the success you want to be. Only you will know when it all comes together for you. Everyone has a different comfort level in their ideas of what internet marketing success is all about to them personally. If you want to earn "Top Positions on Google"....that requires a lot of work. However, with realistic planning, preparation and commitment you can accomplish your goals.

4) CONSISTENCY: Every day you must devote some time to make your success happen. You might commit a minimum of a couple of hours each day devoted to anything that is relative to your business goals. We are not talking about answering emails, playing game or surfing the web. By working 2 hours each day it will take a long time to accomplish your goals. My point here is ....you must make a commitment to devote whatever time it takes to meet this challenge.

5) DEDICATION: A couple of hours per day is not much time to put into your future success. When you work at a job, you devote at least 8 hours a day for 5 to 6 days per week. Sure you're paid for that time and you pay your bills with your wages earned. But look at it from a business standpoint. The company you work for was built by people who were committed and dedicated to the success of that business. They worked countless hours to make it all happen. If they only worked a couple of hours a day, their business would not be where it is today. They made a commitment to make their business happen by devoting more than just the accepted normal 8 hour work day. They were driven to succeed by their visions.

6) PROPER TRAINING: You can search the internet for information and try to teach yourself the proper methods of internet marketing, website design or any number of other things you may want to pursue. Pick an avenue that you're comfortable with and become an expert in that particular field. You must participate in training with other people who have already been down that road to success. There are any number of programs you can find.....some of those programs are very expensive, some are affordabile....do your research. You can literally break the bank on junk programs. You may or may not get some good information from junk programs. You must make a conscience decision to continue to get help and to educate yourself with the latest strategies on internet marketing.

Finally, you must have good quality contacts to market your business opportunity to. In other words you need sales leads:

7) LEADS: Don't get caught up in the worthless idea of purchasing leads. Purchasing leads just doesn't work effectively anymore. Normally purchased leads have already been sold to several people before you bought them. Why buy second hand leads? Generate your own leads in your own marketing system. This is the latest trend on the net for generating potential clients for your business opportunity.

I invite you to visit some of my sites and see how simple this process can be. I'm not trying to sell you anything here. I merely want to make suggestions of a direction which will help you accomplish your marketing goals. I have included my personal contact information so you can reach me in the event your still have further questions. I offer personal mentoring as well.

Know What To Look For..Before You Commit!

Know What To Look For..Before You Commit!

If you're researching information in order to add something to a particular area of your marketing program, there are a few things you should know and research before you make a commitment to purchase and/or participate in that new venture. This may save you a lot of grief and time in the future by asking yourself a few simple questions before you make the plunge.

Different Systems:

There are several ways a person or business can promote their business opportunity online. We've all seen advertisements that really catch the eye and possibly we've even looked into the offering a little deeper because we were curious. Once in a while we find a nugget of information that really we can grasp and can apply to our everyday lives or our existing marketing system. How does an uninformed person know where to even begin the due diligence process to see if a person or company is in fact who they say they are before the newbie commits their time and money?

Don't Be Afraid to Call:

One of the ways that I recommend to see if it's real, is to pick up the phone and see if someone on the other end answers. Maybe their contact method is an answering machine. Another thing that really upsets me is for someone to only put a P.O. Box number for their only contact information. How can anyone be receptive to their business offering by just having a post office box? What if you need to get hold of them with a question or a problem? Your system could be shut down for several hours or possibly even days. I can't stress enough the importance of being able to contact a person or business you are considering becoming a part of.

Google It:

Google provides an excellent source of information on almost any subject. Most of us know how to "Google It". Take advantage of this valuable service when doing your due diligence. Check and see if there are any negative postings regarding the venture or person you're about to associate yourself with. It's better to find out any bad news before you commit to become a part of that organization. Always do your due diligence thoroughly and you will avoid many problems later on.

Other Considerations:

One other consideration is the up front cost of the offering. Are there enrollment fees, maintenance fee, up front one time charges and the list goes on and on.

Another consideration would be....if I am looking for a lead generation program to incorporate into my existing marketing program, does the lead generating system being offered allow me to imput my personal and/or business information so I can target market a particular group of clientele? If the answer is no, then look no further...click off that program and go to the next offering.

Another question would be....How often you can submit your offering to the internet and what limitations are there on the frequency of submissions. This is a critical issue....remember you need leads to promote your opportunity.....you may need to submit your offering often, to get a lot of response with a particular ad campaign.

Another important feature I would look for is, where are those leads returned to. Do they go to someone else and then funneled to you, or are those leads returned directly into your marketing system for follow-up! Doesn't it make sense that if you are the one that is generating the lead, that the sales lead should be coming back directly to you? I think this answer is quite obvious.

Another issue would be regarding the support information. If you have a problem, who would you contact to get the issues resolved as quickly as possible. I have seen offering that had absolutely no contact information at all on their site. If you find this on any offering...immediately click off that site and go to the next offering.

This is not a complicated process....however, this is a process that you must incorportate into your pre-enrollment activities of any program if your going to be effective in your marketing efforts. Take care of this type of issue before the fact...not after the fact.

Invitation:

I invite you to visit some of my site and see what I'm talking about. After your careful review you may still have some questions. Maybe you need some personal mentoring, I can help. For additional information or mentoring you can contact me at the following contact information.

Get The Business You Deserve!!

Get The Business You Deserve!!

Are you involved in a new business venture or....are you wanting to improve your existing business exposure? Whether you're a major corporation or a home based business the need for contacts or potential clients always remains the same. We've made it very clear in some of our earlier articles that business sales leads are the life blood to successful business ventures regardless of the company size. There are various ways you can go about sales lead generation. You can use the old methods of buying list of names and working hard to cultivate good quality sales leads. There is nothing wrong with that method, unless time is important to you. We all know that time is money. Time and money are two of the ingredients of marketing that you are in complete control of.

Marketing Efforts:

Like anything else in this fast paced computer world today, you must make the most of your time and your marketing efforts. Marketing has become simpler with the advent of brilliant minds at work designing programs to do all the thing we used to do the old fashion way. One critical area one must be concerned about is to be able to select the market category you want to target. We will be talking more about target marketing a bit later and will follow up with more information about target marketing in some of our future writings.

Recent Study:

Recently I had the pleasure of researching many different sales lead programs. Some where excellent in their method of generating sales leads, however the cost was prohibitive for the small home based business entrepreneur. I also found it interesting that most of the programs could be purchased in a series of different stages and charges. Such as, if you wanted a very basic program, the price was reasonably acceptable. However, some of the most important things a small business owner needs to succeed were not included in the basic program. By the time a person enrolled in all the various add-ons such as submission services to the masses, autoresponders, keyword popularity, and search engine submission, the cost was prohibitive for the average person....especially if you're on a moderate advertising budget. The small business man could not afford all of those bells and whistles. Bottom line.....unless you had purchased the entire program, you probably still couldn't succeed in your venture, because some very important marketing tools was missing.

Filling the Marketing Needs:

Then I decided to look for a program that would fill the small business owner's needs and hopefully provide those needs in a single format. What the consumer needed was a program that would generate unlimited qualified sales leads at an affordable price. The program should include some form of training to help understand what the the program is all about and how to use the program correctly. I was surprised at the limited number of companies that provided such programing. Therefore, it becomes a huge responsibility for each of us to find that niche in the market place and then obtain the services of a professional and get the advise you need early in your venture.

Target Marketing:

I think one of the most important factors a person should consider would be....is there anyway to really focus on a particular category of clients? Target marketing should be a definite part of your marketing strategy. Laser focus on the type of potential client that needs your product of services. When you use this approach you will find that your leads to closing ratio will go up substantially. What you've done in essence is....eliminated the so call tire kickers. You will learn after awhile in this business that there are people out there that are not interest in what you have to offer...all they want to do is visit..try to recruit you to their business and take up a lot of your valuable time. That's something you'll learn quickly...believe me that lesson will save you a lot of time in the future.

In Summary:

I did find a series of programs and training that worked for me and my business opportunity. If you are faced with the same problems we discussed above....then I can help you shorten your learning cycle considerably. If you have any questions or need some personal mentoring ....I can help...Give me a call today....for a 30 minute free consultation and let's see if we can help.

Build Your Own Online Business!

Build Your Own Online Business!

The Marketing Puzzle:

How fast your business will grow depends on a number of factors. The time you devote to the project, the money you spend and the marketing strategies you impliment are all part of the big puzzle called marketing. If you already have a business, the same factors would apply for your business to continue to grow. As an example, you can't build a house with just a hammer. You can add a hand saw and the job becomes simpler. Add to your tool box a square and the job begins to make some sense. The same tools used to build a simple house is not adequate to build a skyscraper that towers hundreds of feet above the city skyline. What is the point here? Very simple....it takes the effort and proper tools to build a successful, profitable online business.

Internet Marketing:

We've shared with you before the meaning of the term Internet Marketing, however, I think it's worth repeating. The internet marketing means different things to different people, so take the part that applies to you and use it to your advantage.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says:

"Internet marketing, also referred to as online marketing or Emarketing, is the marketing of products or services over the Internet. The Internet has brought many unique benefits to marketing including low costs in distributing information and media to a global audience. The interactive nature of Internet marketing, both in terms of instant response, and in eliciting response, are unique qualities of the medium. Internet marketing ties together creative and technical aspects of the internet, including design, development, advertising and sales. Internet marketing methods include search engine marketing, display advertising, e-mail marketing, affiliate marketing, interactive advertising, blog marketing, and viral marketing.

Internet marketing is the process of growing and promoting an organization using online media. Internet marketing does not simply mean 'building a website' or 'promoting a website'. Somewhere behind that website is a real organization with real goals.

Internet marketing strategy includes all aspects of online advertising products, services, and websites, including market research, email marketing, and direct sales."

Learning Process:

Just having a computer and knowing how to write emails, play games, text message and all the other normal things one might do on the computer is not adequate knowledge to build an effective business on line. You must commit your time and efforts to become efficient in marketing. Where do you learn such information? Let me share with you a few strategies that will help you in your marketing efforts and make this learning process much easier to grasp.

Training Available:

There are online tutorials and recorded classes available that you can use to self study and learn how to do a multitude of different chores on the internet. Without the knowledge of what you need to learn with regard to internet marketing you will waste a huge amount of valuable time on learning various programs that will have absolutely no bearing on your goals of promoting on the internet. Knowledge is important, however, you must channel those efforts in areas where it will be profitable in your long range goals of successful marketing. These goals must be your personal goals and nobody elses.

Learning Basic HTML:

You need to learn some html code for writing articles, ezines, press releases etc. it's imperative you learn some basic html code. If your efforts is going to be focused on building websites you will have to devote even more time and effort to learn some intermediate to advanced codes. Don't attempt to learn everything before you start using and blending your knowledge into effective marketing. Immediately start the process of using what you learn and applying that knowledge into effective marketing by writing articles about your business opportunity and publishing those articles online for the world to see. The more you write the better you become in conveying your knowledge to potential clients about your product or service you're trying to market online.

Find the Right Tools:

You will need to find a marketing program that will fit your business plan and goals supplying you with the information you need to proceed with your marketig efforts. Where do you find such a program? There are literally hundreds and thousand of program offerings on the internet today. Sure many of those programs are no more than a lot of promises and some are even rip offs, however, there are any number of legitimate sources where you can find quality effective programming. This process will take time and will set you back a bit from accomplishing your goals. Use a professional and allow them to help you understand if you are even headed in the right direction.

No Shortcuts:

In my internet marketing journey, I have been through the process of learning all the things I needed to know to start selling on the internet. I searched for five years and stumbled from program to program. There were no shortcuts then and there are no shortcuts now to becoming a success on the internet. It takes time, devotion and effort to learn the things that are important so you can apply the knowledge you've learned and start making the money you deserve. Most people don't have the knowledge or know how to acquire that knowledge to become successful without getting some form of professional help. That's where we come in...if you need help just give us a call for a free consultation.

Start your own Home Based Business!!

 
Start your own Home Based Business!!


If you're new to the internet and you're a bit confused about where to start your online journey...maybe I can help simplify the process.

Are You Serious About Your Future:

First of all what is your motivation for wanting to do an online business? Are you truly serious about making money online or is it your intent to play games, download music or start a home based business? If you're intent is just to play games, download music or email your friends then your needs are rather simple. You will figure those answers out on your own. However, if you are really serious about creating a home based business, then you will need some additional help in the form of training, quality marketing plans and some direction on how to start this whole process. There are only a few who start the marketing online venture that make any money with their online efforts. Don't get discourged because with the right attitude, effective maketing tools and a personal commitment to your future, you too can become one of the limited few who really make it in this business, and I'm here for you to make that happen.

How Important are Contact:

One thing that is important to marketing effectively online would be a good source of contacts. The old philosopy of build it and they will come doesn't necessarily mean that idea will work on the internet. The old multi level idea of contacting all your relatives, friends, and stop everyone in the mall will talk to you can and tell them about your opportunity just doesn't work. The process of lead generation, writing effective keyword rich articles, submitting your opportunity to the search engines and keeping up with the responses is a never ending job, but it will make you money.

Searching Google:

If you Google the term "leads" or "lead generation" you will be amazed at the number of listings you have to choose from. There are 170,000,000 listings for the term leads, and for the term "lead generation" there are 47,800,000 listings for the phrase lead generation. Which one of these 217,800,000 sites do you finally click on to start generating sales leads and making some money? You could actually spend the rest of your life reviewing all of these sites and you would probably be more confused than you may be right now. There are things to look for and important procedures you must follow in order to cut down on your learning curve. Don't try to learn it all before you start. Learn where to start and then proceed until that activity becomes second nature to you and then go to the next step of the learning process.

False Promises:

This is where the big questions pop up....."Where do you turn to find the answers?" It seems like every internet guru says their program is the best. You can talk to the "so called" professional marketers and they will tell you that you can be successful if you pay them large sums of money. I've seen programs cost from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Maybe they can recommend you an excellent product for the professionals, however, will the program work as advertised for the little guy, or is it just a bunch of false promises? Maybe they are making a substantial commission on the program and that's why their program cost so much. Don't get me wrong...I'm not opposed to making money and making a profit on the programs I recommend, however, these programs must be cost effective for the customer or they will drop the program quickly. You must be in this industry for the long haulto be profitable with multiple stream of online income. If you don't know how to do this...we will show you.

Easy To Use:

Early in my venture to the internet I was fortunate to stumble onto a program that really worked as advertised at an affordable price. This program offered an affordable, effective marketing program for the small home based business Mom and Pop operation. There is one lead generation program within the portals of the system that really stands out. The visionaries who founded this company has devoted their career to perfecting their marketing system to supply quality marketing tools for the small home based business individuals. The program is very affordable, and extremely easy to use....even for the beginner.

No Hidden Charges:

There are no startup fees, registration fees, activation fees, absolutely no hidden charges. Just pure down to earth, easy to understand and extremely effective results.
