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.

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.

Search Google:

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.
