Here are 9 great ways to expose others to your business
9 Great Ways to Expose others to Your Business 1. Business cards and flyers: Just like "traditional" business owners, you should have business cards for when you meet others, to drop into outgoing mail, to carry to networking events, etc. You can also print up flyers for use on community posting boards, driect mail, to leave with local businesses (get their permission first), and more. 2. Networking websites like Twitter and Facebook: There are many online communities where you can connect with others who share similar interests as you. If you haven't already, create an account with these networking sites to leverage the exposure they provide. 3. Use the warm market wizard: In your Prosperity Central back office you have a warm market wizard which lets you quickly and easily expose your business to friends, family, associates, and people you meet. Test it out now if you haven't already! 4. Leads: As a professional account holder you have access to high quality leads. That is, people who have explicitly asked to be provided with more information about working from home. Your online marketing system is a great way to pull these prospects into your sales funnel! 5. PhoneBurner®: Have you used your 300 free minutes yet? PhoneBurner® is a way to triple your prospecting efforts without working any harder. You'll find it under the Marketing Tab in your back office. Watch the video to see how it works! 6. Online banners and pay per click ad networks: Log into your account for animated banners you can use to advertise your business online. Add them to your own (or others) blogs and websites. Market your business with Google, Yahoo, or Bing's advertising networks. 7. Classified Ads: Advertising in a local or community paper can be a very cost effective way of marketing your business. Come up with an attention grabbing headline and send prospects right to your lead capture page! Your Prosperity Central website makes it easy to track response and ensure that your visitors sign up with you! 8. Article Marketing: Article marketing is a great way to get f.r.e.e. online exposure and traffic to your website. By submitting your articles to article sites like EzineArticles.com and others (google really likes the top article sites and ranks them well) you can get exposure for popular search terms people use to learn more about home businesses. 9. Use them with company specific DVDs, brochures, marketing materials, magazines, business cards, and websites: The company you're a distributor for likely offers you an array of professional marketing materials to share with others. Be sure to include your Prosperity Central web address on all of them as a way to give them more info and to follow up with them automatically! To your success, Scott OBrien P.S.

Psychological Self-Improvement: Ways To Overcome Fear Starting Today!
People are usually afraid of negative things. They are afraid of self-improvement because of this fear. Psychological self-improvement may help you in this situation.
In psychological self-improvement, The best way to remove this fear is to understand that life is always in the cycle of ups and downs. No one is permanently up or permanently down. Remember that no one can avoid these ups and downs even the most envied Hollywood stars.
What we should do about these downs is to learn from it and not to avoid it. We should learn how to handle our problems for our psychological self-improvement.
Problems affect us every day. These problems bring us misery due to the fact that we have feelings. We should never loose hope in figuring out solutions to these problems. All we need is to learn how to overcome it and not to be overcome.
Problems can never be overcome but we can learn from them. This is where Psychology plays an important role.
Psychologists say that we should always be careful in our decisions concerning our problems. We should handle our problems properly and learn how to deal with it. Learning from mistakes helps us in preparing ourselves for psychological self-improvement
There are a lot of myths about every event in our lives is due to pre-determined reason. Another belief says that what we encounter in our lives today is our preparation for other things that may come in our lives. To understand what may happen to us in the future, we must learn from the present.
With all that, it is also true that the unexpected can happen anytime. However, you should keep in mind that a psychological self-improvement is not always for the worse and consequently, you must never let go of a chance, because you are afraid to take the risk.
Remember that, from time to time, something has to happen in order to free you from monotony, so you shouldn’t be surprised if, at a certain moment in time, instead of being afraid of change, you desire it with all your heart.
If there are some things that hinder you from going on, here are some tips to help you move forward: Just think of the positive impacts results from the psychological self-improvement. Know important they are and reflect on how to increase them, by adding some other good aspects, which need certain assistance.
Try to picture somebody else in your situation, as picturing ourselves in a less desirable position, always looks more dramatic than it really is. If you realize that the other person can handle the change, you can be sure you’ll be able to handle it as well. This is a good psychological self-improvement.
Think of the worst situation that can result after the self-improvement. Try to find various solutions to it. Reflect on how much you can loose, if the worst happened, and how important those things are to you. If you find more than one reasonable solution, you are safe and the self-improvement can’t be stronger than you are!
Self-improvement is not bad at all. All we need is to learn how to handle some negative changes. We should also reflect from it to learn and use it in the future events that we may encounter. This could be your ultimate psychological self-improvement.

Importance in Having a Mentor for Your Business
Importance in Having a Mentor for Your Business
Having a Mentor in your business showing you what to do and what not to do is absolutely vital to your success.
I have seen so many internet home business fail because the person running the business comes to a dead end and has nobody to turn to for help. This happened to me personally and it cost me a lot of money in the process.
Why go in to a business blind folded when there are so many people out there making very good online income that are more than willing to help you run your business. It is a win-win situation because through getting the help from them you are actually helping them in the process.
Let me explain in a little more detail. I will use myself as an example. Like I said previously I have lost money in the past through making mistakes and quitting in an online business that I tried to run in 1998 from home. It was through lack of support that I blame for my failure. I simply didn’t have anyone to turn to, to ask for advice and help. The business at the time was all very new to me and when I didn’t see myself going forward I became very irritated and demoralized.
I wasn’t prepared to give up because I knew average people were making good income. I knew I just needed a guiding hand and be taught by someone who had seen all the pitfalls before and was an expert in online marketing.
Several years later I was doing my due diligence... I bumped into an old friend. He was earning on average $30,000-$40,000 a month with his online business. I saw the evidence with my own eyes. When I saw that he wanted to introduce me into his business and share exactly how he was making that amount of money monthly I was very excited but also I was very skeptical until he explained how helping me he was actually helping himself. It was a win-win scenario with absolutely no catches.
When I joined his business I wasn’t hundred percent sure it would work until he showed me exactly what to do and how implementing certain techniques would help my business. When the results started coming in after about six months I was totally amazed.
Don’t get me wrong it didn’t happen overnight and I would have definitely given up if I was doing it all on my own. What I needed was the reassurance that the system that my friend was teaching was going to work. If I was honest I didn’t really believe in the business until the penny dropped and that was when I started to see my income increase.
So clearly for me a Mentor was the answer to turning my business into a success. My friend gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in a business that at the start was very alien to me. I am now proud in the fact I make successes of other peoples businesses.
I can’t emphasize enough how it has been the difference between failure and success having my own Mentor.
I look forward to being your friend and helping you become very successful... just as my friends did for me. Talk to you soon!

Network Marketing is NOT Cut-Out For YOU...
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Men?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Women?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Married People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Single People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Retired People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Stay-At-Home-Moms?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Broke People?
Is Network Marketing Cut-Out For Disabled People?
I know YOU are probably thinking... why in the world are you asking such STUPID Questions like that?
OK... the only reason was to get YOUR attention... it made YOU curious right? Yes, of course... YOU are reading this article right now... so congratulations, I'm glad YOU are here!
Network Marketing is for EVERYBODY!
Network Marketing is AWESOME for some people... but there are a lot of people who are struggling to make any money at all... in fact some people are losing lots of money. Really... Network Marketing is about spreading the word to other people about a product or a service you represent. Kind of like the last time you told a friend or a family member about a good movie you saw or a good restaurant you ate at. Even where you get your hair done or where you get your car fixed. Now ask your self this... how much money did you make for referring people to the movie or restaurant? Most likely... Nothing!
When you tell somebody about your car repair shop you go to... do you feel like your are shoving something down their throats or do you feel like you are sharing something of value?
Kind of funny how many people I talk too, that tell me they are NOT sales people. Then a couple minutes later, they asked me... "Hey Scott, did you see that New movie that came out on Sunday yet? Well, excuse me... but that's sales and everyone is a sales person.
Do you feel like you are selling something if you recommend a product or service that you use personally and feel that others may enjoy and benefit from?
Here's something to think about... when you are interviewing for a job or maybe you're trying to get someone to go on a date with YOU..., what do YOU call that? I call it selling. Selling Yourself!
Here is the point... YOU are NOT trying to Sell... YOU are telling someone YOU know, like and trust... about a product or service that YOU use and why YOU like it. You're Selling Yourself... here's what XYZ did for me and guess what? If you're interested in trying XYZ... I know where YOU can get XYZ.
Lets go back to the subject: Network Marketing is NOT Cut-Out For YOU.
YOU are already Marketing Something Everyday, but YOU are NOT getting paid for it... so why not get paid for something YOU already do everyday? Network Marketing has been around for over 100 years, as a matter of fact... there are more Millionaires from Network Marketing than any other industry in the world.
By the way... There are people who do NOT like Network Marketing. You've heard them right? That business is a pyramd... all them things online are scams... they have every excuse in the book why YOU shouldn't be doing Network Marketing. Have YOU heard of the 40-40-40 Plan? That's the person who worked 40 years, working 40 hours a week, and has $40 to their name when they retire. How many people do YOU know personally who retired Wealthy?
Are YOU ready to follow that same path as the 40-40-40 plan? or are YOU looking for something that can change all that? Something your family will enjoy as you get to spend more time with them and go on family vacations... something you don't need to get up every morning and fight rush-hour traffic to and from your 9-5 job... something you're already doing everyday anyway... Network Marketing is your answer to financial freedom.

Building a Business using Social Networking Sites
Google Captures about 33% of all daily internet traffic, while Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter capture a combined 44%
If you want to put your product or service or even business opportunity in front of all this traffic... it comes with a price, and I'm not talking about money like you can with Google Adwords. I'm talking your TIME, ENERGY, and FOCUS needed to build a presense in these sites.
You can pretty much set up a PPC Campaign and let it run on auto-pilot, but you can't build a presence in soial networking sites unless you visit often and interact with people. The results you get come from the time, energy and focus you put in.
Your income is going to be based on your activity... and remember, although it may be fun inter-acting with people in social networks... the entire point is to produce sales and make money with your business.
There is 2 ways to produce income directly
1) Sending someone an email or to your website to sell your product or service.
2) Calling someone and taking the order over the phone or helping them become a sales rep.
The biggest mistakes online marketers make is that they are always doing busy work.
You know who they are... they are always leaving comments, making new videos, updating their blogs, making new friends, etc, but they never make any money, because they never ask for the sale.
And sadly when they do... they mess it up or they waited to long and the sale went to someone else.
I can write a whole article just on social networking etiquette, but I want to focus this article more on how you spend your time each day in social networking sites and how to make money using these sites. How to take hours of busy work and turn that into 30-minutes of income producing activity.
These techniques will allow you to passively market your products or business in social networking sites and help build your SEO (search engine optimization) as well.
You will also be building a list... your own list of people who know, like and trust you.
Social Networking allows you to market online with the risk of violating your network marketing company's policies and procedures. There are many companies online that do NOT allow you to use their name or logo and you wonder "how am I going to do this business online if the company has so many strict policies", but with social networking sites... it's really not any different than walking next door and talking to your neighbor. We will show you exactly how to stay in compliance with any company you represent.
Plus, what I like is that you can take advantage of earning income from multiple streams of income. Understand that 95% of the people you meet in social networking sites, probably will not be interested in your products or your business, but what if you had other products or services that did appeal to them? Now you have a way to make money on the 95% of people that would have normally been a "NO Thank You".
One important thing we will be teaching you before we dig into social networking is to set up a WordPress Blog. There is several reasons we chose WordPress... 1) Because It's Free 2) Because it's Open-Source and there are so many different plugins available to integrate with many social networking sites. WordPress already has widgets to update Facebook, Twitter, and many more social networking sites already in place ready to use. Plus WordPress has many more SEO Plugins to help your blog get ranked on top of search engines. There is no better tool than WordPress to create your main hub for your business. It is easy to host a wordpress with blog articles and videos. Easily create optin forms to build your list. Plus your visitors can interact on your WordPress blog by leaving comments, which a normal website, you can not do.
A lot of people have blogs... but the difference between most blogs and the blogs we teach to set up is the layout. Most blogs are an informational piece... it mostly talks about your products and service... our blogs are a marketing piece, meaning your blogs will be totally different than everybody else's blogs.
Here's an overview of what we will be covering in our training:
1) Social Networking sites are for meeting people and building a list of people that follow you... NOT Selling! If you are trying to sell on social networking sites... you are messing up BIG TIME! The way most blogs are set up today... people come and people go! There is NO Sales Conversion, most blogs are not created for sales conversions. The way we set up blogs, your sales conversions will definately increase!
2) Your Blog Houses your content. It Sells YOU! Primary Purpose in blog is to capture their email address.
3) SEO - Your Blog will drive free passive traffic in time. Highly optimized for keywords you choose.
Your SUCCESS is in the Details!
Once this is set up correctly... your hub (your WordPress blog) will be the center of everything you do. All your social networking sites will be tied into this hub. This will save you TONS of time and help you become very efficient at what you do.
The most important part of all this is SEO... a major part of your traffic will come from people searching for your keywords.
With the layouts we teach you... your optin rates will soar and your list will grow daily. The main purpose of our new bog layout is to create leads and generate sales. That's how we make money online.

4 Tips To Increase Your Blog Readership Fast!
Aside from being a fun hobby, what is the point of having a blog? The answer is to draw readers. Whether you are selling advertising, a product, or just your own set of ideas, you want as large a readership as possible with most blogs. So if that is the case, then it is important to know how to draw readers to your blog. There are a number of ways to increase the readership of your blog. Here are four tips that will help you to increase your blog readership that are easy to do and will definitely pay off for you.
First of all, to increase readership you would want to increase the number of pages each reader is seeing. You don’t want to be judged only on your last post, but rather on the whole of your work. To that end, try highlighting related posts within your blog. At the end of an article, highlight posts that may be of interest to those who like the current post. Most blog platforms are fitted with plug-ins that will help you with this, but if they are not, then go ahead and at least list the links to other pages manually. Another similar idea is to highlight the related posts within the content of your post. If you are talking about a subject you have discussed before, link off of one of the keywords into the past post that is related. This will also help a past post to maintain its freshness.
A second tip for increasing your blog readership is to think about doing a series. A series is a great way to keep a reader coming back again and again. In addition, if you are linking back, you can get readers looking at multiple posts even after you are done with the series. Be careful when doing a series, because you do not want to frustrate readers. However, if you have a topic you genuinely think you should handle over a period of time, then a series can really help your overall readership. If you are curious as to whether or not a series is working for your blog, then check posts. See if readers are posting through the series to see if they are following you. If they are, then your series is a success and you are only helping your blog readership.
Another way to increase readership is a little more “controversial” if you will. You can try putting excerpts on the front page of your blog from certain posts. Many people claim it is just a way to get more hits on your site. The truth is that extra hits are a little side benefit of it, but the real value is that it can make your site more engaging. By adding excerpts to the front page you can manage the front and keep it fresh while also teasing those who get that far into reading more than just your most recent blog post. This will encourage a prospective reader to explore your blog site a little more than they may have normally. Again, you want to be judged by the whole of your work, or at least by a larger piece of your work than just one post and this will do that. If your writing is up to par, then, you will see a rise in your readership.
Finally, if you really want to build and increase readership, you have to have good quality content. It should be useful, original, and interesting to your target audience as well as keeping them wanting more of the same. The more you raise the quality of your blog’s content, the more you will see your membership, readership, and page hits go up without even having to use any other “tricks.” People know what they like and they like quality for the most part. Giving the readers what they are after is probably the best way possible to increase your blog readership.
Having a blog can not only be fun, but if you are doing it right it can also be profitable. Either way, though, you want to maintain and increase a following, or readership. There are as many tips out there to increase blog readership as there are blogs, but to really get things going, consider using these four tips. Follow them and you will see your readership grow.

SEO Tips for Blog Traffic Generation
SEO Tips for Blog Traffic Generation While it may be true to say content is king when it comes to blog traffic, the truth is that writing your blog content is not the only thing that you should be focusing on when it comes to attracting more followers. Quality SEO, or search engine optimization, is an important aspect of attracting a blog following as well. If you do not implement quality SEO on your blog, then your blog is going to remain as a well kept secret, where it would be all content and very little readerships.Many bloggers may not be aware of it, but when it comes to tips for blog traffic, there are actually a number of SEO tips that are going to come in handy, allowing you to turn any ordinary blog into a site that is highly trafficked.
Strategic Keyword Placement -
Search engines like Google as well as Yahoo are ranking websites based on strategically placed keywords.
Linking to Obtain Ranking -
Establish quality links in your blog, especially links that are incoming from other websites. When you get competitor sites to link to you, this builds more authority for your blog in the eyes of the search engines. Try to get your site listed on other websites in your niche as well as directories and similar sites for more authority.
Search Engine Algorithms -
Different search engines are going to index and rank different websites based on unique algorithms. Most SEO tips for blog traffic are going to be common among all search engines but Google has its own unique algorithm that allows it to favor additional SEO tips as well, including sitemaps which are used to index websites and blogs. Using a robots.txt file is another popular methodology that will help you tell search engines what part of your website you want indexed and do not want indexed.

Prosperity Rising Generates More Traffic to Your Website
Prosperity Rising Generates More Traffic to Your Website
Prosperity Rising is a new site that says it guarantees more web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. More importantly, it promises higher CONVERSIONS... signups and sales. So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless... they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive... I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads... the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into Prosperity Rising links.
You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Prosperity Rising Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical wa... links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!
After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Prosperity Rising link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Prosperity Rising link is clicked, the page loads followed by a small ad window in the lower right corner. It displays 3 ads PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Prosperity Rising. So if anyone clicks the Prosperity Rising image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Prosperity Rising links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally... meaning as you make referrals into Prosperity Rising (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Prosperity Rising image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Prosperity Rising also.
I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed andProsperity Rising even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all... downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Prosperity Rising really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Prosperity Rising. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Anyone can pick out related keywords to rank their websites for. However, it’s the crafty webmaster who knows how to find multiple keyword goldmines among the thousands of possibilities available.
One popular approach is called the “long tail”. In this approach you go after three word + phrases in hopes of having less competition. The main problem with this approach is that there is a second aspect of it that most people neglect. The second and most important part of the “long tail” approach is that with longer, more targeted phrases you are more apt to directly meet the needs of the user. While that may seem obvious, many people ignore or poorly execute it. That’s because they don’t understand the importance of their client’s purchase cycle as it relates to search engines.
The Purchase Cycle:
The very first thing you need to understand before starting keyword research is the “Purchase Cycle”. Its main steps are:
Attention > Interest > Desire > and Action.
Finding tons of low competing yet high converting keywords is as simple as understanding your customer’s buying habits. When they are in the action stage you will want to be there with them.
Let me give you some examples. Let’s imagine you are a new Real Estate Agent in the crowded but profitable Los Angeles Real estate market. You have had a site up for almost 6 months, have done a little SEO but have gotten almost no traffic and not a single lead from your site. The problem is more than likely the phrases you are going after. Everyone will be competing in the SERP’s for obvious terms like “Los Angeles Real Estate”. Now there is nothing wrong with competing for the best phrases, however this guide is all about training you to look at the areas your competition has ignored, and are at the end of the buying cycle. Trust me, great opportunities are available in every single market.
Think Like Your Customer
Imagine yourself as a customer who is using Google to find or sell real estate in Los Angeles. A typical search may go something like this.
Search Term: 1 “Real estate” (hmm too broad what was I thinking?)
Search Term: 2 “Los Angeles real estate” (Lots of options maybe I need a local agent?)
Search Term: 3 “Real estate agent in Los Angeles” BINGO!!! If you are a real estate agent in Los Angeles this should be one of your many keyword goldmines.
Now let me show you how the competition for rankings in Google has diminished as the customer got more and more refined with their search. I want you to see just how ripe the opportunity is when you understand the process your customers go through.
To get a good feel for the level of competition for a phrase one simple but highly important SEO factor is the Title tag. Using Google we can easily see how many sites have the exact search phrase we are using, as the title tag to their website. This is a great initial gauge of the competition you will face.
The command I use in Google is intitle:"real estate" (returns results with the exact phrase "real estate" in the title tag).
Diminished Competition
intitle:"real estate" Over 59 Million Pages Retuned
intitle:"Los Angeles real estate" Down to 25,000 Pages Returned
intitle:"Real estate agent in Los Angeles" 57 Results and only 7 Domains listed!!!
This high conversion keyword is just sitting there waiting for you “our new real estate agent” to rank for it. If you do the proper SEO work and point a few quality links to the page then you should begin to see highly qualified traffic.
Let me give you one more example and then we will move on. Let’s say you sell high-end condos right on the beach in Hawaii, which by the way is where I call home (Its OK to feel sorry for me). The competition for the condo market in Hawaii is very stiff and any little edge you can get is extremely helpful. Again all you have to do is understand how a potential customer searches and know your own product to find those keyword gems.
Results:
Search 1: “Hawaii Condos” intitle – 11,100 pages
Search 2: “Hawaii Condo Rental” intitle – 147 pages (Great action phrase)
Search 3: “Hawaii beach front condo” intitle – 0 pages!!!
I could literally go on and on finding great marketing opportunities for these two markets. I promise you if you spend the time you will find these all-too-easy keyword treasures in your market as well. Now let’s take what we have learned to the next level with action phrases.
Make Use Of Action Words
Ok let’s say you sell the latest PC video cards at great prices. You have done your homework and realize that many consumers do extensive research on specific video cards to find the one that’s perfect for them. They then lookup the specific model of the video card they want when they are in “purchase mode”.
A popular video card series right now is Nvidia’s Geforce 6800. However, when you do an intitle: search on Google you get over 40,000 results for “Nvidia Geforce 6800”. This is where Action words come in handy. Some great action words are Buy, Lowest price, Purchase, Free shipping etc. All of these words are used when the customer is in the purchasing phase, which is exactly when you need them to find you.
intitle:"Buy nvidia geforce 6800" 3 sites!!!
intitle:"Purchase nvidia geforce 6800" 0 sites!!!
intitle:"Lowest price nvidia geforce 6800" 0 sites!!!
You get the idea. Now that you understand the concept I can suggest a few keyword research tools.
Now let’s put you on a path to find 20 to 40 money keywords you are not currently using
Keyword Research Steps:
Step 1 - Logs: One great asset that you may not be utilizing is your weblogs. You should always mine your weblogs for niche keyword phrases and use them as a basis for what type of searches your users are typing into search engines. If you have not done this before it can be highly informative. You will not only understand your audience better – you will also get a great variety of keyword “goldmines” that you can then use for your organice SEO campaign. I suggest doing this once a month or every two weeks if you can find the time.
Step 2 - Competition: Your competition can be a great source of keyword research. Check the keywords in their Title, meta tags, and body text to see if you find anything you might have missed.
Step 3 – Keyword Tools: Three free tools that you should check out are SEO Books online keyword tool http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword/ and http://www.goodkeywords.com/ which is a free desktop download that runs off of Yahoo data and http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/ which queries both Yahoo and http://www.wordtracker.com/ (A top tool if your paying) . All three of these tools are very handy and for the price…who can complain?
A word to the wise, these tools should only be used as guides. They are heavily biased to PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising and are subject to distortion due to automated queries.
The main thing to look out for with any tool that uses Yahoo is that it does not separate plurals. It shows Condo and Condos as the same results. So when you are doing your research be sure to check out the Word Tracker tool over at digital point because the MSN version will show you how a phrase does for singular versus a plural version. While search engines are still ironing out how they handle plural searches its highly important that you select the right one. Sometimes you may choose to go after a less used plural or singular version of a keyword because it has less competition.
Bonus 1: Don’t forget about hyphenated or potentially hyphenated words. If you are looking at a term like “increase online traffic" don’t forget hyphenated versions of the same phrase. According to Word Tracker "increase on-line traffic" is searched for 186 times a day on MSN alone. The non hyphenated version has over 1,000 pages listed for an intitle: search on Google. While the hyphenated version only has 21 sites listed.
Bonus 2: Use slang or insider terminology when and where it makes sense. One great example of that is locally here in Hawaii. Locals call the main island of Hawaii the “Big Island” A term like “big island real estate” is typed in a few thousand times per month. But according to Google only one site has the phrase in their title!!!
Bonus 3: People often type keyword phrases as one word. So instead of typing in “Hawaii Condos”, they’ll type in “hawaiicondos”. Then engines serve different results for these 2 phrases, and guess what – the kwkw version is usually a LOT less competitive!
I must mention that just because you find great keywords that others are not using in their title tags does not mean you can simply put in a new title and rank. In some cases that will actually happen but in most you will need to do a good job with your on-page SEO and acquire a few relevant links. In any case you will be putting yourself in a great position to be successful with minimal competition and maximum return on investment.
I hope that I have helped to get your mind churning about the endless possibilities in your own local market. If you follow these steps you should be able to quickly generate a wonderful new list of keywords for your site to dominate the “Action” phase of the purchase cycle. Once you place your site at the end of the purchase cycle and away from the hordes of competition it is quite easy to strike keyword Gold.
To Your Success,
Scott OBrien

Submitting Your Site To Directories For Free Links

Well, submitting your site to directories not only offers you one ways, you can get them for free... click here for one I recommend and use personally.

If you're like most webmasters, you're always looking for ways to get links to your site. Of course, if they're one way links, all the better! Well, submitting your site to directories not only offers you one ways, you can get them for free.
If you follow a few rules when submitting your site to various directories, you'll greatly increase the number of directories that accept your link, so increasing the number of links you get.
Many directories publish a comprehensive list of rules for submitting to their site, but here are a few general rules that will put you in good stead.
1 – No promotional language – avoid promotion type language in your title and description. Avoid things like “click here” “save big”, etc.
2 - Don't keyword stuff – While you want your keywords in your title and description as possible, don't stuff them with your keyword. You want it to look official and natural.
3 – Give valid contact info – When you submit your listing, use yourreal name and email address. It will greatly increase your chances of acceptance.
4 – Submit to the deepest relevant category – Don't submit to a main category unless there is not a subcategory that fits your site. For examle, google.com should be submitted to Computers > Internet > Search > Search Engines, not just to the Computers category
5 – Site guidelines – in general, directories will only accept unique, content rich sites. Most directories will not accept Adsense sites, scraper sites, doorway pages, etc.
6 – Submit your homepage – Don't submit sub-pages unless the directory states you may – most directories will deny sub-page listings.
Bonus tip – Here's a way to greatly speed up your directory submissions. Use a form fill plug in for your browser that automatically fills in your url, title, description, etc. I use and recommend RoboForm.
Here's a Great Place to Submit Your Site: http://www.placefreeadshere.com/specialoffer.html (read more)
Email Etiquette – More Than Just Manners
We all understand the importance of good “people skills” when it comes to our interpersonal communication – it helps us get the results we need. Our communication determines the opinion others have of us – knowledgeable or ignorant, pleasant or rude, professional or immature. Most of the time this is in face-to-face or telephone conversations where we have some control over the impression we make on others. When it comes to netiquette (Network Etiquette), it’s not as easy...
We all understand the importance of good “people skills” when it comes to our interpersonal communication – it helps us get the results we need. Our communication determines the opinion others have of us – knowledgeable or ignorant, pleasant or rude, professional or immature. Most of the time this is in face-to-face or telephone conversations where we have some control over the impression we make on others.
When it comes to netiquette (Network Etiquette), it’s not as easy to control how others perceive us, and yet it’s even more important. Why? Because what you write and how you use email can affect whether your email gets delivered, read, or responded to – and what that response is! In addition, there are numerous “technology traps” that are easy to fall into. Have you ever seen someone accidentally send an angry or sensitive response to a huge group of people by using the ”Reply All” key?
And before you say to yourself "I already know" and stop reading this article, realize that every single one of us could benefit from a few simple reminders on the proper use of email, not just from a personal view but also from a business standpoint. If you're doing business on the internet – and using email to communicate with your customers – then this article is a must read for you! You may already know many of these tips, but even the most experienced user will find a few rules you were not aware of or have fallen into the habit of breaking.
Think, write, and think again.
Email is a static, one-way channel – unlike live communication, there’s no way to get immediate feedback (from facial expressions or voice responses) to know if we are being effective or even understood. So think twice before hitting the send key. Is there ANY chance that the recipient might misinterpret what you want them to understand? Do your thoughts come across as abrupt or angry? Could this email accidentally affect your reputation? The hastily written word may lack feelings and the true emotion you intended. You might be smiling as you type, but your note could come across as sarcastic or mean-spirited. Remember – there’s a person on the other end, not just a computer.
Use a meaningful subject line.
This is the first thing your reader will see, so use the space to help them understand the contents of the email even before they open it. Using the same rule from above, type in a subject that relates to the message you're sending, rather than leaving the subject blank. Without a subject line your note will probably be seen as another piece of junk mail – not everyone will recognize who you are just from your email address. Many internet service providers (ISP’s) filter out suspicious looking email, and a blank subject is a big red flag. Also, try to avoid generic words like "Hi" or "Check This Out" to avoid having the recipients spam or virus software delete your message!
The beginning, and the end.
Always use a salutation, even if it’s short. Start your message with "Hi", or "Hello", or "Dear", whatever works best for the intended recipient, and whatever reflects your personality. Think about this: when you call someone on the telephone, don't you say "Hello" before telling them what you want? Email messages should be no different. At a minimum, address the email to the person.
Don't forget the end of your message too! Always sign your messages with your name, and say "Thank You", or "Sincerely", or something else appropriate. You can even setup a signature in your email program that will automatically display your information at the bottom of every email message you send. For directions, use your email programs help file and do a search for signature.
Protect your recipient’s identity – use “To:”, “CC:” and “BC:” properly. There are a few simple netiquette rules for using the address fields in email.
If your email is being sent to just one person or email address, place it in the "To:" field. This should be the person who is responsible for sending you a reply.
When your email is being sent to more than one person and all the recipients truly need to know who else is receiving it, put all the addresses in the “CC:” field.
For email sent to multiple recipients who have no real reason to know the names and email addresses of everyone else to whom it is being sent, put all the addresses in the “BCC:” field.
(Some email software requires at least one address to be placed in the “To:” field. Put your own email address in the “To:” section if this is required.)
By default, not every email program has the BCC field available for viewing. If you cannot see the Bcc field in your program, check your programs help file for directions.
Give memory a helping hand.
When replying to emails, include a copy of the prior notes you’ve traded with the person on the topic, don't just send a new one. I may receive 50 emails a day that need a reply and it’s not always possible to remember every single 'conversation' with every single person. Please don’t make your reader go looking through their ‘sent items’ folder or email ‘recycle bin’ to refresh their memory!
Use the ‘Read Receipt’ sparingly.
In some cases, it's crucial for both parties to know that a message was received. However, in normal day-to-day activities you should not request a read receipt for every single message you send. It's annoying to the recipient to have to click that pop up box every time they get your email. And it is an invasion of privacy. Don't forget – just because they have received it doesn't mean they have necessarily read it, so receiving a read receipt doesn't actually prove anything other than that the message was received. And for day to day communications, is that really necessary?
URGENT!
The boy who cried wolf. Do not send all your messages as URGENT, or HIGH PRIORITY. If your recipients keep receiving messages marked that way, then eventually the red exclamation point loses it's effectiveness – except to reinforce how important YOU think you are. Reserve these messages for those that are of utmost importance!
Avoid special formatting.
For your day-to-day message s, don't use colored email backgrounds, colored fonts, special fonts, images or other "pretty" type of formatting to your messages. Keep them clean – this makes it easier for the intended recipient to read them and reply. It's best to send messages in plain text to ensure everyone will be able to read them, since not everyone has their email set to receive html emails. You would be amazed at how bad your note may look to someone viewing their email on a handheld device or an older computer. By keeping your emails clean, they will also load much faster for the recipient!
Don’t SHOUT!
If you type in all ca pital letters, your reader will see this as yelling, or they will think that you were just too lazy to use proper text formatting. It’s also hard on the eyes – did you know that it takes longer to read something written in all caps than it does to read something that is properly formatted?
Proof, spell-check, and use proper formatting.
Poor writing skills are a direct reflection on you! And the reader never forgets the person who writes an undecipherable message. Spell checking will prevent most misspelled words, but you should always proof your email in case you've written the incorrect word (that was spelled correctly). For example, month and moth, where and were, all look correct to a spell-check program. Use proper capitalization, punctuation and formatting. Break your paragraphs when the subject changes, or if they become too long. Don't use excessive formatting (too much bold, too many exclamation points and question marks, etc.) Too much of anything will make your message harder to read. You want to make your message easily readable, as well as understandable. Proofread it to ensure it make sense, and never assume the reader knows what you mean, always spell it out for them. The time it takes to proof and spell check is minimal compared to the lasting impression you will make if you don't take the time.
Take the time to send a reply.
Even when someone emails you something that doesn't need a direct response, follow up with them in a timely manner just to let them know you received their message. It’s amazing how often people will ask for advice, and not even reply with a short “Thank you” when they receive their answer. A simple message telling the sender is sufficient. And this lets them know you did receive it, that it didn't just get stuck in cyberspace somewhere.
If they didn't request it, don't send it! No matter what you think may be acceptable, you cannot email someone about your product/service without their permission. Unless they request that you send them an email, or you have previously done business with them, then it is illegal to send them an email, period. Any recipient can easily forward your email to their ISP and report you for sending unsolicited email messages (SPAM).
This report would result in the immediate removal of all your websites/email address from most servers. You would then join a list of “prohibited senders” meaning that servers would not allow any messages attached to your domain name to be received by their customers - the people you are sending your messages to.
You might be thinking, “but I get emails every day about products/services that I didn't request information about.” Sending unsolicited email messages (SPAM), is kind of like speeding. Lot's of people do it, but it is against the law, and no matter how long you may get away with it, you are bound to get caught!
Compress, Compress, Compress!
If you are sending an email with several large attachments, it is often better to send them in a few separate emails, so that you don’t send a document that is too large to even open. Or, you can try compressing your messages into a zipped file. It doesn’t reduce the size of images or pictures very much, but it works great for text, spreadsheet and program files. This is very easy to do, and will make your file size much smaller, and make the recipient much happier. Check out www.winzip.com (for those on pc).
Hoaxes as helpful hints.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Do not forward everything that gets sent to you. We've all seen them – the chain-letter emails that promise if you forward to x number of people you'll get paid, or you'll win something, or you will be lucky forever. It's all a hoax, a scam, and the only result is huge numbers of email transmissions that slow down servers all across the country. If you receive one of these emails from a friend, reply to them (in a very nice way) and explain to them why this isn't true, or ask them to stop forwarding them to you.
Virus, or virus advice?
Many viruses are spread by email masquerading as warnings about – a virus! If someone forwards you a virus warning, which usually contains instructions for removing a virus from your computer... check google.com for that virus BEFORE doing anything. Chances are, it's also a hoax, and if you do remove that "bad file" from your computer, you're actually removing a necessary component crucial to your system!
Wow, that was a lot of information to take in at one time, but I congratulate you for sticking it out and reading the entire article. Please share it with your family, friends and colleagues.

How to use Facebook and other Social Networking site to Build your Home Business
Social Networking has always been a passion of mine in the internet and meeting new people is always a lot of fun. Facebook is just one of my personal favorite Social Networks and I like to train people how to build any business using Facebook.
Learn How to Take Facebook or Your Social Networking to the next level
Some people feel frustrated when social networking doesn't bring them a lot of business. In this article, I discuss some tips that can help change their approach to it.
One of the issues I run into with social networking is that most of the businesses who have heard about social networking are focused on it primarily as a way of getting business. And when they don't get business right away they get disheartened and feel that social networking isn't working for them. Or they decide right away to use social networking as a way to advertise their business, but don't really engage the audience.
Social media consultants, in the meantime, stress authenticity and genuine engagement, but also again focus primarily on how social networking will provide more business to a business. In fact, it seems that what social networking really boils down to is finding ways to get business from other people on Facebook and other social networking sites, while disguising that by being "genuine" and "authentic", whatever that might mean.
There's a key element missing from all the hype on social networking, and it actually pertains to the word networking. What's missing is that people on social networking sites are so focused on trying to get business from social networks that they are ignoring the concept of networking and how that applies to social networking. In other words, they primarily treat social networking as a feed, where they get lots of clients, but don't care as much about the networking aspects involved.
It's certainly true that social networking can be used to market your services and products to other people, but if we only focus on that, and ignore the networking aspect of social networking, we're not fully utilizing social networking sites. So how does networking apply to social networking? First, social networks like Facebook connect you with people you either know or are interested in getting to know. Second, as you get to know people and discover what their needs are, or discover what someone in their network needs, this can pave the way toward you helping them. Sometimes how you will help them simply involves referring them to someone else who you know is qualified to help them. With that concept of networking in mind for social networking, the following tips are meant to help you take your social networking to the next level.
1. Comment on what other people post or tweet about. If you want to network with people, you need to interact with them. Spend some time commenting on other people's news, tweets, and posts. By doing so, you show you are interested in them, and you can even portray yourself as a resource they can draw on, if they need to. Additionally, this lets them get to know you as well, and you may seem more interaction when you post as a result.
2. Pay attention to what people need. A lot of people will post about something they need or a situation they are in. If they do so, try to think of who you know in your network that you can connect them to and then send a private message offering to connect the people. This is a good way to be helpful and will help not just the person in need, but also anyone you direct them to. Additionally, this shows that you are paying attention to what people are posting about and helping them out, even if it doesn't bring you a profit. Conversely, don't be afraid to post about what you need. I've gotten some great responses from people, when I've asked questions about something I wanted to know about.
3. Post about some interests or fun facts. While people may not necessarily want to know about what you ate for dinner (unless you include a link to the recipe), they may find it interesting to learn about the latest book you're reading or a fun hobby you do, because it shows them that you have more going in your life than just business. It creates opportunities for interaction, lets people in, and the conversation can sometimes take you into some useful directions for your business, while also creating enough of a personal connection that people find you interesting to follow.
4. Think of people you can connect to each other, based on mutual interests. I always really appreciate it when people connect me to other people that share similar interests. I also appreciate it when people connect me to someone who might need my services. When you first start following someone, ask them who they'd like to be connected to, or after you've read some of their posts and tweets, think about someone you could connect them with. By making those connections you can help people develop a strong network of referrers and possible clients, which is always appreciated.
5. Don't come to Facebook or other social networking sites with an expectation that you'll automatically get business. This last tip is probably the most important. If you come on to social networks only looking to get business, this will become apparent to people fairly quick and will ultimately alienate you from them. Treat people as people, not potential clients or customers you want money from. I'm not saying you'll never get business from social networking sites. I've gotten business from social networking sites, but it's taken time and a willingness to get to know people and not perceive them from the getgo as potential marks or clients I can get income from. And that's exactly what you need to remember. Don't go with a specific objective of getting business. Sign up and join in because you want to share some information and learn from other people. Continue participating on a regular basis and let people continue to get to know you. And eventually you might get some business with people you know and will actually take care of, because you know them.
Social networking is still networking. If we remember that and approach it as a networking activity, we will actually get much further with it, than if we are just trying to get business from it. People want to be treated like people and communities want to feel like they are engaged with, as opposed to sold to. Keep the above tips in mind, and you'll create a strong online network that supports you, even as your in-person network does the same.

10 Powerful Tips for Newbie on Internet
Stepping out into the Internet Marketing arena can be a daunting task for the newbie internet business entrepreneur. Here we outline 10 of the most important points to remember before you begin your first campaign. For the newbie Internet business entrepreneur, here are the 10 most powerful unwritten rules that may well prevent you from 'skidding into the ditch'. Make a point of reading through them monthly and remain focused on the road ahead!
1. First and foremost, Lets look at the advantages of creating and building an online income. Our place of work is open for business 24/7 so we can work when we want and for as long as we want. Many of our regular duties can be run on auto-pilot leaving us with more time for family, social and leisure activities. This situation offers a less stressful working environment, and to a certain extent we are in control of your own rewards. However, it is important to remember that there are few 'Get-Rich-Quick' schemes on the Internet. Look upon it in much the same way as you would if you were creating an offline business, which, in order to be sucessful, requires commitment and a positive attitude right from the offset, with scant reward in the early days.
2. Whilst it is important to have your mindset focused on a full-time successful online business, it is useful, especially early in your Internet career, as part of the learning curve, to try out a few programs in your spare time. Get the feel of the Internet marketing arena and at the same time learn a little about HTML, Scripts, creating attractive images and even building your first website! This can all be achieved as a 'spare time' sctivity. Don't sack your boss till you have the confidence in your complete ability to earn regular income. There may be a lot to learn but, trust me, if you're focused, it will be worth the effort.
3. NEVER.. get involved in 'get paid to read email' sites, they are scams and you wont earn a penny, and they won't answer your emails of complaint! MLM too, or in fact any website telling you that your money will be doubled or trebled in a matter of days, or you will become rich overnight, are scams. Avoid them!! It's not difficult to find bona fide traders on the Internet. Look for offline contact points. An address or telephone number is a good sign they are genuine. Another good test is to send them an email before you sign up to see how efficiently they reply. Avoid the 'Get-Rich-Quick' schemes. They don't work!
4. Imagine you discovered a method of earning huge amounts of money on the Internet. Would you then offer to tell everyone about your 'secret formula'? I don't think so! You will no doubt come across those who will try to convince you they have found such a recipe, and no doubt offer to share it with you. Believe me it will cost you, not just financially but in wasted time too. Always shy away when you see the word 'Secrets', or see boasts of huge income!
5. Similarly, ask yourself this.. would a guy who says he's earning several million dollars a year, bother to write and market an eBook describing how he did it? I think not! Go with your first instincs, they are usually quite accurate!
6. Dont pay too much attention to images of earnings checks or bank statements purportedly demonstrating how much the account-holder has earned, It is a simple task to create whatever you want with a little creativity. The same goes for letters of recommendation or testimonials. Anyone can write them or get their collegues to do so! They may con some, but don't let it be you!
7. Think positive and stay focused at all times. If you were to take a close look at all the successful Internet marketers, who have made a great deal of money from their endeavours, you would find they have one thing in common! Dedication!! They are prepared to work hard and long to achieve their goals. They do not lose heart if everything doesnt come together today, and they are rarely influenced by the 'quick buck'. I cannot stress this point often enough to you...
8. Be organised! Keep all your business activities logged and documents filed in the correct folders. Check your email accounts at least daily and file the important ones. Dont be frightened to name a file or folder with a long name (within reason). You should be able to access any file, folder, software or email within 30 seconds. So much time can be saved with a tidy desktop!
9. Stick to the basic etiquette of Internet Marketing. Don't be tempted to send out high volume unsolicited email (spam). It won't be worth the hassle believe me! Read the Terms and conditions section when you join a program and if you decide to sign up.. then adhere to those terms. You will make useful contacts during your Internet campaigns. Try not to 'stand on toes'
10. Avoid leaving large amounts of funding in any online marketing or promotion website! Most websites have a strict policy on spamming and if you are ever accused (rightly or wrongly) of sending unsolicited emails, you are likely to have your account closed, which could result in you losing your funding too!
So that's it! Not a set of rules... more a collection of simple guidelines which, if applied, will serve to make your Internet Marketing experience a safer and more enjoyable journey!

The Middle Class is being Attacked!
The Middle class is being attacked! The trend is firmly entrenched with the outsourcing of good paying jobs.
White collar jobs (IE: It services, software design, engineering, etc.), support and call centers, banks customer support, airlines phone sales counters, etc. going to India and other similar countries
Good paying blue caller jobs in the US are declining with manufacturing moving to China, Mexico and other countries.
At home jobs like construction, landscaping, farm labor, hotel services, etc. are being filled by illegal aliens.
So where does that leave us? In the middle fighting to maintain our life style.
Gas prices are soaring. The cost of living is on the rise. The value of the US dollar is dropping. Most of us in the middle class are burdened by crushing debt. And to make it worse we are being attacked from all sides!
We can blame ourselves. When was the last time you went shopping for clothes? Did you check the labels? Everything is from China, not the USA like it was not so long ago. And I bet you pay for everything with your credit cards.
Speaking of credit cards, we are guilty of buying ourselves into debt. This is part of the problem. Your home, your auto, your boat, etc. are all owned by the bank and you make payments every month from your shaky income to maintain this debt. By the way, if you own your home it is not an asset unless you are renting it out and not living in it, and if you are refinancing your home as the equity increases to pay off debt, you are following the fool's pursuit.
Even though the United States has the most advanced medical industry in the world, it is expensive and medical insurance for the average family of four is over $1000 over month. But nationalizing our health care is not the answer.
And you can bet that taxes will rise considerably if the Democrats take control the presidency as well as the house, and you are the one the taxes will rise for.
And as taxes rise you can also expect the local job market will shrink as well.
So what are you going to do?
The rich (anyone making over $500,000 per year) will hardly be effected. There is a reason for this.
The rich do things differently than the poor and middle class do, and you don't have to be rich to learn what they do, and by learning and applying this new mind set. you will find yourself gaining the same advantages they do and actually begin to build wealth instead of debt.
Find out why the rich pay far less taxes, how they make their money work for them instead of working for money. How they protect their assets and build additional wealth. When you discover these principle and apply them to your life, you will see your life and finances make a major turn for the better. When these principles are applied you will no longer fear for your job.
By joining The Business Leaders Team, you will have access to this information and learn how to apply it to your particular situation.
To Your Success,

Home Business Marketing Tips - Email Marketing
With all Home Businesses... YOU MUST learn How To Establish Yourself As An Authority and Create Credibility through Your Emails!
This is the same scenario you can bring into your home business marketing. Establishing yourself as an authority in your Work at Home Business and teaming up with like-minded marketing experts and Home Business Marketing Coaches will give you credibility.
For example: when you are talking about making money online using Facebook, you must let your subscribers know about your credibility either before or after they opt-in to your mailing list.
Here are a few tips on establishing your credibility:
1. Talk about your experiences online and offline. If you’ve run an offline business before, use it to establish your credibility as a business builder. If you’ve been in sales and marketing before, use it to establish your credibility as a copywriter.
2. Show them screen shots of how much money you’ve made online (or checks you’ve earned). If you don’t have any of these, use photos of well-known marketers you’ve taken pictures with (example: look, here is my picture taken with... at...)
3. Let others tell the story. It would be better to let others sing your praises – especially in the form of testimonials.
Use e-courses To Build Credibility Over Time
People may not be impressed at the first glance. Sometimes, it takes a few emails for people to recognize your capabilities.
One of the ways you can build your credibility over time is to write an e-course or a newsletter that will be sent to your subscribers over a period of days or weeks. It must be something educational – something that will establish you as an expert on the subject. This will also build up your trust and begin a relationship with that person.
You can configure your autoresponder to send an e-course once everyday, every two days or a weekly newsletter. So long as the subscriber reads your educational material over a period of time, you can slowly work your way into the heart of your subscriber and stamp a firm impression in their minds.
Email marketing with a reputable name such as Aweber, remains one of the very easy ways of making impression on your subscribers. Using email marketing you can easily carve yourself in the minds of your subscribers and your Home Business Marketing will become very Successful!
