A Very Old Story-But With a Moral We Can Use

November 22, 2011
I'd like to suggest we all take the time to read an old story titled "The Emperor's New Clothes."
I think we all remember this one. The Emperor commissioned an outfit from a group of scammers. These scammers would pretend to sew on this beautiful set of clothes whenever the emperor was around. They convinced him it was the most beautiful outfit in existence.

He decided to wear these beautiful clothes while parading through the streets of his kingdom. The adults of course not wanting to offend him or thinking that perhaps the clothes were so regal that they couldn't see them, oohed and oohed over the emperor's outfit until finally a small boy who did not know any better stated the obvious. He just said, "The emperor is naked". That one statement made everyone face reality.

All too often, we see the same thing in internet marketing. Many people are buying "the emperor's clothes". We see people jumping into these opportunities only to find out that what they thought they were getting was only in their imagination.

We see people jumping on this new e-book or that new marketing plan and when you take away the hype and get down to bare bones, what do you have? It's time someone said "The emperor is naked" so people can face reality and stop joining in the fantasy.

All the Best,

Well November is here and October is done!

November 4, 2011
A new month and new goals for all of us to achieve, we all have ambition and determination to achieve our financial goals in life. I have read many books, but one always stands out for me, written by Napoleon Hill, in his book “Think and Grow Rich” he speaks about the mastermind plan. The mastermind plan is about duplication and getting results done. Having a group of minds developing and sharing concepts, ideas and making them all grow without boundaries.


Without boundaries, what key phrases to have! The opportunity to achieve what the minds have created and the ability to take action on your new found opportunities. We all have this ability, but to accurately, efficiently and have the determination to achieve your dreams is a step most of us never achieve. Why is that? We all get distracted by our mind, thoughts, personal surroundings, obstacles in your life has an effect on this creative thinking.

Working as a team, creates a very positive atmosphere, motivating one another to achieve the goals that were written to be performed and reap the rewards of success. The internet has become so competitive with so many unrealistically affiliated programs that promise you success without any work involved. No recruiting, no sponsoring, no need to get your family involved, etc., etc. We all have read countless, splash pages, landing pages that lead you to that promised land of milk and honey.

So what is my point for taking the time and writing this article if it has no direction, solution or meaningful information that will enhance your abilities and talents. The point is “Marketing is an Art,” how you rank, promote, showcase your first impression is the most important step you can achieve. Why l created the “APSense Blog TO support WRITERS WITH TALENT,” who share information that would help us all achieve success by helping one another out.

Everyday l read article after article, view sites, blogs, forums and most are just after one thing them self’s why many do not stick to the dream that was written. When you have support from a team of winners, you will always be reminded of how to get where you are going if you get off track. I will promote, your articles as l have always in the past, APSense is now Ranking 3,400, let’s get under 3,000 before Christmas. How do we do this, understanding how rankings are determined by the World Wild Web?

Creating Backlinks, leaving comments on blogs, following other blogs, understanding how the “Bounce Ratio” works within the spiders that crawl your site and provide you with a score. The bounce ratio, good and original content is an important bloodline in your success for page ranking, SERPs, and indexing your articles. I would like to post at least four articles a day on the APSense Blog from different members. Items that our readers, followers will benefit from reading and sharing our knowledge so we all can benefit from our efforts.

Thank you for taking the time in reading this article, if you got this far! Now all you need to do is applying what you learned and found useful from this article. Do your homework, not a get rich piece, just one that will make you a lot of money when you follow these steps.

But l have written many articles on this subject, review what l have writing on this topic, check the groups l created and you will understand one thing. I did it because if you become successful, then l got my prize l helped you become successful.

All the Best,

Understanding Settling and Accepting with Generational Differences

October 31, 2011
Identifying the differences in "settling" or "accepting" with noticeable generational differences. Differences that are within businesses can be understood better by learning about these subjects. Looking at the attributes of each one will help with a person learning their job and their life.


Several depictions are available as to describing what settling means. Many aspects of this way of thinking come from feeling that you are stuck in one particular place with no way out. While you may think you have earned more merit, your low self-esteem could be an obstacle. A person being a little too hypercritical or even being negative all the time are other feelings.

Acceptance is nothing at all like this and is the complete opposite. With acceptance comes an open feeling where new ideas and projects are always welcomed with a positive attitude. This perspective is one that will help with understanding profound generational differences. Confidence and an optimistic outlook on life are all part of the acceptance way of thinking, and this is what will work well with a business.

You may feel like you want to switch to acceptance after looking over it and settling. Accomplishing this task may be a lot harder than most people would expect it to be. You will need to boost both your self-esteem and confidence to start making the switch. When you enjoy the many things around you and also have the ability to accept new changes and ideas, this is the point of "taking".

Looking at the many different facets of your life will better help you in deciding where you are at between these two forms of thinking. You can often ask yourself what you have learned from both "settling" and "accepting" and make notes. Once you have looked at the details of both forms of thinking, you will find that "accepting" is the most positive outlook. It is totally normal to be a little unsure of making a final decision about this, and you can easily ask for help when you need it.

So many more aspects of life and business can be active through changing to an "accepting" way of thinking. Faster results can be achieved in the area of all employees through positive thinking and make sure all goals are reachable. Many %%noticeable generational differences can prevail over when you learn to go the route of an "accepting" lifestyle.

The SEO Potential Of APSense Branding Tags

October 29, 2011

Before I get into writing this article, I wish to thank Joseph of JFB Marketing for bringing the value of the branding tags to my notice in a recently published article.


What are branding tags?

Whenever a member submits an Article, a Rev-Page or a Talent at APSense they can include up to 5 "Branding Tags" that other members will be able to choose when they wish to indicate a "like" for that item.

These branding tags then show up in the profile of the user who submitted the Article, Rev-Page or Talent.

It is an interesting little exercise to see what branding tags other members have selected for your contributions to APSense. To do that, go to the Interests and Haves menu item of your APSense profile. Scroll down to see your Branding Tags, where these will be displayed with the number of like for each one. Here is one way to see how other people are providing feedback to you.

Branding Tags and SEO.

Your branding tags act as keywords for search engines to use for returning results to queries with that keywords.

An example of how this works goes something like this. Consider that you want to find an APSense member that is an expert on a topic or subject that you wish to know about. Use a search engine e.g. Google, and type in a query with that subject (keyword) and the word APSense.

Most likely you will find an APSense member's profile, article, etc. high up on the first page of the results.

So what does that mean for you?

When you write an Article, Rev-Page or submit a Talent think carefully about how you would like this item to contribute to your "brand."

When other members of your item at APSense that will then add some more credibility to you in that area, and it will be shown on your profile. That profile, which shows your Interests and Haves, can then be used by search engines to help others find you.

Think carefully about how the tags you submit can help with your branding!

This article was written by one of the senior writers at APSense Neville Dinning I hope your benefit from his talents that he has shared with all of us.

How to Build Credibility With Your Blog within your Niche Market

October 25, 2011

How to Build Credibility With Your Blog within your Niche Market

Here is some information which maybe useful to your business and it's medium to long term success.

Building your online credibility is an important part of your success in internet marketing. It is probably the most important part of ensuring your business is long and fruitful.

Using a blog to build your credibility is one of the best ways to earn respect and at the same time help others by providing them with good content so that they subscribe to your blog and look forward to your next edition or publication.

Content is the key to a good blog, and although it may seem difficult to write a blog with good content especially when you are new to blog writing, there are other ways in which you could provide good content for your blog. If you are unable to write good content which would be useful to your readers, then use other people's own. I am not encouraging plagiarism when you use other people’s content it is always important to say so and to give them credit for their work.

Would made you more reliable and respected both by the writer and by your readers. Let's face it, we don’t know everything about everything. Some people are experts on some things, and other people have a broad knowledge of some things.

If you fall into the latter category, then it is your duty to provide your readers with the most up to date and valuable information which would arm them with the tools they need to compete in their respective markets.

Your experience in writing a blog could be one of the three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. At the beginners level you would want to find valuable content and then share it with others. This content could be articles, videos, links and other information which you have come across during your daily activities.

The intermediate level is little more adventurous, than most. At this level, you find your content and add your flare to it before sharing it with others. You could try to change around the information which you found and also add it as a link to your information making it a part of your document.

At the advanced level, you are then writing your reports. You are an expert at what you do and passing on information to your subscribers about things which are in your field of knowledge.

Let us look at getting started with a video. The first thing you need to do is find your niche market or subject area. That is, what is your interest or business and how can you help your prospects. You then select your target market by deciding what your assets are.

You then need to find videos content which interests you, look for 3rd party credibility, Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump  CNN, Yahoo, Google, MSN.

A note of caution is careful about using videos with other people's link with them as you may be sending traffic to other people's sites. Although they may thank you for it, will not earn anything from it.

You could also use this same principle with articles and other forms of advertising.
