How Important are Keywords to Your Site!!

October 15, 2011

How Important are Keywords to Your Site!!


In the beginning "Key Words" where the most important factor on how your website got ranked, among the search engines. The better the keywords you used, the higher the score you got for your sites rankings. However, they’re just one of dozens elements that are taken into consideration.

So what are keywords, what role do they play, on our site, blog or articles we submitted to search engines. Keywords are the words the users types in the search boxes when they are looking for a product, advice or anything that they may be looking for. Simply put, keywords are the words that are used to catalog, index and find your website.

So when you're writing an article on your blog, or website, think about who you want to target, who your audience is going to be, what your niche market is. Keeping them important factors in mind, you will select specific words that will be searchable; within your audience. It's an important step, let's face it; you want readers who have an interest in your article, or whatever it is that you are marketing.

Spend some time, and do some research on your competition, and see how their sites rank, and why it ranks higher than yours. What words have they used, that allow search engines to find their place? Understanding your competition is vital to your success, after all, you're competing with them. Why waste your talents, and never have any unique visitors, visiting your site for lack of preparation.

Here is an important element to always remember, when writing your script, make sure you're using the keywords you will use to become searchable in cyberspace. Becomes a good habit if you always remember to use your keywords in your article, you will get noticed and clicked on.

There are two different types of keywords, branding keywords, and generic keywords. If you're not using the branding keywords, you will surely miss out. These are words that are your business name, description of what your company is all about and, of course, the product or topic your marketing.

Generic keywords are words; that are not branded with your business name, for an example if your website is outdoorsports.com you would use terms such as knives, fishing rods, guns, lures, tackle boxes, accessories, sleeping bags you get the picture.

These are necessary steps for you to get noticed and clicked on the web if no one chooses words that are relevant to your site then you're missing the boat and wasting your time and talents with your original articles.

I hope we all benefit from the information I have shared I will talk more about the elements that will have a real effect on how your site gets ranked and clicked on.

Here is a simple tool you can use to help you with the selection the words you should use on your website, blog or an article you write.

How Alexa Ratings Benefit Your Home Business

October 14, 2011

There are a lot of great tools for the home business owner, such as social media, marketing, Google Webmasters, Wonder Wheel, Analytics, and so many more. But the tool that I want to talk about today is Alexa and the benefits of having a high Alexa rating. Some of those benefits include bringing traffic to your site, bringing you targeted leads, gaining instant credibility and offering you even more earning opportunities.

Alexa Helps Your Credibility


Your Alexa rating shows that you are working every day at your business. It indicates that you don’t treat your business as a hobby; you treat it as your own business with the professionalism that it deserves. How it does this is because, even without your Alexa rating or even Google rating, you are driving traffic to your site just by adding new information consistently. If you are offering respected information that is of value to others they are staying on your site to read it and to look for more details. Alexa sees that and uses it to rate your site. It can tell if you have a poorly kept site that offers little to now value. SO the higher your Alexa rates in respect to your keywords, the better and more valuable Alexa sees your site. Knowing that, it is clear to see why a higher rating in Alexa automatically gives you instant credibility.

Alexa Helps Your Site’s Traffic

A higher Alexa rating helps bring in more traffic to your site because it shows to others that:

1. You are consistently adding new information.

2. You are offering valuable content that people tend actually to stay on your page and read.

3. You value the time that you put into your site.

There are some other reasons that Alexa can bring you more traffic, but these three are the key ones.

By the way, if you are not doing the three things, consistently adding new information, offering valuable content, or value the time that you put into your site, it will show in your ratings.

Alexa Helps You Get Targeted Leads

Chances are if you get a lead from your site, that person already knows quite a bit about your business style, your credibility and already has a sense of trust towards you. They also are already interesting in working with you because they feel that you have the qualities of a leader that they are looking for.

You really can’t get more laser-targeted than that! How your Alexa rating helps you get these leads or prospects is simply by getting that extra flow of traffic to your site of people who, before even visiting your page, have value to offer to them.

Alexa Helps bring you More Earning Opportunities

There are going to be a lot of people looking for your site because of your high rating on Alexa, but it is not only going to be prospects or people interested in your business. Other individuals who use Alexa for their activities are marketers looking for good websites to place their advertisements on. There is a good chance that you will have offers from people or companies, with a product or service that relates to your business, asking you to allow them to pay you to place an advertisement on your site. It also opens the door to other opportunities such as joint ventures.

No matter what your home business or even your product is having striving to achieve a higher rating on Alexa could mean a world of difference to your company. It really can be an excellent source to focus on to help you build your business consistently and successfully.

Some New Changes Coming to APSense soon!

October 13, 2011
A little about myself l been here since September 15, 2007, it was my son's birthday, made sense for me to join this site. I have seen many changes some good some l do not exactly agree with. But l do know and understand one thing about APSense you will never get the freedom you have here as a "Free Member.' Your abilities and talent are at your fingertips; you have it all here.


But like most "Social Media Business Sites". We have our fair share of problems as we all know "Spamming" is a primary concern, it's useless and laziness from the promoter of that link. We have found a way to control this type of "Marketing" here at APSense, more information on this to follow. APSense is about sharing the creative writing of articles that will enhance new babies and seasoned writers, educate each of us to become better at what we do.

I have met, read and learned from many of the members here at APSense on how to be better at what l desire and that is the market on the internet. Tonight l had a long talk with our founder Wincer Song about all that has been going on here since l been away but always kept an eye on what was being streamed out by our members. Read some articles, hardly ever comment on any or give it a like.

I told him what we talked about is how we are going to make this a much more professional business site and attract experts in some areas to provide our audience advise and educate you to lead your company to become more active and fruitful. It's going to take time, but we have a game plan that will provide rewards and most of all; bring us all success to our promotions.

For all the new members who have no idea who Wincer is, l will tell you this. He is the most determine, stubborn owner l have worked with. I can say that cause l know him pretty well. His goal is to grow and become the best "Social Media Business Site" on the internet. We will get there one idea at a time, we currently Ranking on Alexa's at 3,232 that's progress in the right direction.

I will share more information about what we are doing and the direction we will take....

Surround Yourself With Positive People They Will Build You Up

October 12, 2011

If you want to grow personally and professionally, you will need to surround yourself with positive people. Active people will keep you motivated when you are feeling down and give you that extra push and support when you need it. Positive people help your self-confidence because they tend to see the potential in you (even when you might not see it in yourself). Active people have a mental attitude that admits into their minds thoughts, words, and images that attract and draw to them growth, expansion, and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. Active people anticipate happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action.

Candid, Constructive Criticism


You also need active people who will be candid with you about what you are doing and provide you with constructive criticism that will help you keep going forward. When you are around people who are positive, enthusiastic and supportive, you will feel encouraged and inspired. You will pick up their attitude; you will feel as if you have added strength to pursue your goals vigorously. If you had a choice, wouldn't you rather surround yourself with such mentally and psychologically nourishing people? Well, in fact, you do have a choice. It's up to you to determine who you spend your time with. To begin with, develop friendships and associations with people who are positive and supportive. Also, seek out individuals who are action-oriented and service-oriented. As you spend more and more time in the company of individuals who have these traits, you, too, will develop the same advantageous characteristics and put them to use in your life. Consider who you have been spending your time with. Examine your friendships and relationships at work and during your leisure hours. Those who occupy your time have a significant impact on your most priceless possession: YOUR MIND!

Negative People And How They'll Drain You

Negative people or those who are not well meaning, on the other hand, will hinder your self-confidence because they tend to reinforce your self-doubt and negative beliefs about yourself. These people will drag you down to their level. They hammer away at you with all of the things you can't do and all of the things that are impossible. They barrage you with gloomy statements about the problems in their lives. The lousy economy, the problems soon to be in your life, and the terrible prospects for the future - they might even throw in a few words about their aches and pains, recent illnesses, blah blah blah After listening to such toxic people, you will find yourself feeling listless, depressed and drained. These people are "energy vampires," they suck all the positive energy out of you. These "vampires" have the capacity to wear you down and kill your dreams. Negative people are draining. Try to stay away from them as much as possible.

Bottom Line:
Never underestimate the power of both negative and positive people. Negative people will bring you down whereas active people will build you up. As Mark Twain once said "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that. The great make you feel that you too can become great."

If it's Not a Money Making site, "NO" One reads it, Why? Part 2

October 9, 2011
When l wrote that article, l was not telling you to "STOP" doing whatever it is your doing to make money on the internet. What my main "Objective Here" is to make you "THINK" of how your affiliate program is going to become noticed and clicked on.


How we Market our programs are the most important step in having someone stop and check out your offers. It's called a competitive edge in the internet marketing; you're doing something different from the rest of the members that are promoting your very same affiliate program that you are. How many are pitching the same program on the internet? They got from the same place you do if it was a "Click Bank" offering or from another member.

I have seen them all, joined some and made exactly what you have achieved so far. The ("ROI") return on your investment, is not looking magnificent. You invested mostly your time and perhaps a little money, all for nothing, except "frustration" Now you see the point that your investment was a dud for a lack of a better word. So how do we change all of this, get noticed and get the click you need. If you have a lot of money for your advertising, then you can use "PPC".

Most of us have no idea what "PPC" even means or how the bid system works by your selection of keywords for your campaign. http://goo.gl/4t89pvery learning an efficient and active process for the seasoned marketer on the internet. I have used it religiously and liked my "ROI" what it is all about making money when that is the direction and mindset you to have.

But most of us have no intention of investing on "PPC", so the other route is "FREE ADVERTISING"...now l got your attention. A Very sensitive method for the simple reason; many do not know how to do it effectively. Sending your tweet to Twitter is effective if you provide the correct sizzle with your tweet. The sizzle is your "Pitch Line" getting attention from the audience that reads and decides to click on your link.

I want you to read and study these steps if you have a desire to earn an income on the internet. Marketing on the web is an "ART" very learnable, skills. Teachable to all who want to invest in their marketing abilities and seeing results,
With their progress.

Here are some examples of how you can better market your program differently than the rest. Take a little time review my Rev Pages here and learn how l did it and did it. Hope this give you some ideas of what l was trying to teach us all.

I have a group here at APSense called. How can you Earn Income on the Internet" if you have time have a look at all the members, read some their advice as well as what l have written, simple and some complicated steps for you to learn and start earning an income here on the web.

I will "ADD" another step to what l have shared so far, you can bookmark these articles, print them and most importantly you learn and perhaps for the first time on the right track for success as an "AFFILIATED MARKETER."

If it's Not a Money Making site, "NO" One reads it, Why?

October 8, 2011

If it's Not a Money Making site, "NO" One reads it, Why?


Been doing some research tonight on what sites get the most attention on the "Social Media Sites"!! I am not at all surprised by what l discovered at all, totally expected it and knew it for a long time. Most members, are to focus on clicking the sites that will actually lead them to the never, never land.

So if l promote useless links from let's say "Click Bank" they have made millions of dollars not knocking them at all, just how many other members are promoting that same product; the same way as all the other affiliated members are doing it. So let's be honest here when you decided to promote that product, your mind said wow, l am going to become rich with this. Forgetting one thing, if you find it, how many others are using it before you find it.

So the point here is if you are up against all the other affiliated members, what competitive edge are you using to make your link different and optimized differently with creative meta tags, keywords and keyword phrases. What makes you stand out. With all due respect, anyone can copy and paste and then click the hit button and send it to cyberspace. But did you get any confirmation in your "INBOX" saying Congratulation you have made a "sale"?

If you do not, believe me, go to your email account and see if you have any....I hope you do, really l do. Not that easy at all, when you have so many people pitching the same items you are. Everything you found on the internet, someone has beaten you to it. How do l know this been doing this since l learned CoBAL, RPG, DOS yes showing my age.

When you fully understand and learn how the search engines crawl your site and perhaps index your site and how it is being ranked by "Alexa's Ranking" then you have a competitive edge. Investing in your abilities, will provide you with an accurate 'ROI" return on your investment.

The internet is the fastest way to make real money and the most frustrating place when your not making money. You say how come l am not getting clicks, how come no one likes my articles, what did l do wrong. Yes, l could go on...but why right you all know the point and the,'WHY FACTOR"....

The Mastermind Behind an Empire, Steve Jobs

October 6, 2011

With the sudden loss of the greatest brains in the world of technology and the mastermind behind the success of "Apple Computers". Built an empire from his parents garage, borrowed the "Apple Label" from the Beatles' record label, in exchange he would not market music on the internet.

Create the first personal computer Apple II, added color to his products, free marketing genies when it came to promoting Apple Computers. He developed Pixar, creator of "Toy Story" and sold it to Walt Disney when he was fired by his company Apple Computers.

He focus and ability to understand what his audience wanted and desire, he would develop the products that sold them self to the public. Iphones, Ipads just to name a couple of them, his vision was extraordinary to see the product even before it was developed.  Creates an entire market that he had all of his own, and took months, years for his competition to catch up even understand what he was doing.

He lost his life to cancer at the age of 56; the world will actually miss Steve Jobs Vision and creative abilities. I will leave you with his favorite quote that he would say each and every day.


"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful that's what is important to me."

How do you define the word "LUCK"

October 6, 2011

This word is a word that is overused in many fields of life, we have all used it in one way or another. We all wish we had a little more luck in our daily lives. Some of the terms how this word is used.

He has so much luck in life.

Only if l had some luck l too could be like him.

Why can't l have in luck in my life?

We could go on and on and never really understand what it means or how it is defined. Luck to me is defined this way, and l will explain why.

Labour

Under

Correct

Knowledge

Good Luck to all who read this and you apply the above to make yourself luckier in life; only you are in control of your life.

SPELLS THE WORD L U C K


So when you bring this all own together and apply the meaning of each letter you get the correct definition of the word "LUCK".

So when you use the labor involved and obtain the correct knowledge; then you will see your LUCK increase all of a sudden. There is no such thing as luck you can control and create your luck at work, in business by having the correct knowledge to obtain the success that you deserve....................Except if your buying lottery tickets, then it's a whole new word to me also.............If someone founds the definition of that sort of LUCK, please share it with all of us.

I hope you can all apply a little luck to your day and your life just remember the definition of luck and use it to your advantage, and your luck will change cause you're in control of it.

The Story of The Boy Who Wanted to Buy a Puppy.

October 5, 2011

I came across this short story of the kid who wanted to buy a puppy, but he wanted a special puppy. I found this to be a fascinating and unbelievable lesson to be learned, from this young man. I just had to share it, with all of us here.

One day an eight-year-old boy went to the pet store with his dad to buy a puppy. The store manager showed them to a pen where five little furry balls huddled together.

After a while, the boy notices one of the litter all by itself in an adjacent pen. The boy asked. "Why is that puppy all alone?"

The manager explained, "That puppy was born with a severe leg and would be crippled for life, so we're going to have to put him to sleep,"

"You're going to kill this little puppy?" the boy said sadly while patting it. "You have to realize that this puppy would never be able to run and play with a boy like you."

After a short conversation with his boy, the dad told the manager that they wanted to buy the puppy with the bad leg. "For the same amount of money, you could have one of the 'healthy' ones, Why do you want this one?"

To answer the manager's question, the boy bent over and pulled up the pants on his right leg, exposed the brace underneath and said, "Mister, l want this one because l understand what he's going through."

How many of us would have reacted like this young man, strange that things have to happen to us before we can accept people for who and what they are we do have a lot to learn from one another.

Food For Thought, If you think you can.

October 4, 2011

If you think of yourself as being fat, you will be fat. If you think of yourself as being friendless and of no use to anyone, you can also fulfill those prophecies. The point is that negative imagines are self-destructive and self-fulfilling.

There is no reason for anyone to have a poor self-image on a long term basis, in spite of any excuse that might be offered. The excuse that l heard the most often is that people have been told from early childhood by their parents that they should not strive for individual levels, as they cannot expect ever to be that competent or capable.

It starts at an early age in life, a foundation that can have an everlasting effect on a child and the sad part is we didn't even know that we had something to do with how that child turns out to be. We are all so busy in life that we need to focus and make time to teach our children positive ways and show them encouragement and let them know that you take an interest in all that they do. Whether it's a test result, a picture they just painted or whatever it might be, show real affection to them, and you will see a big difference in your child.

So the next time you see you child sitting all by him or herself, and you walk up to them and ask what the matter is, and they say nothing. Well, we all have heard that statement, you need to stop all your are doing and found the root of why he or she is feeling that way. In most case it only takes a few minutes of your valuable time, but it will be the best few minutes that you invested all day.

How many Managers, understand this concept, the 4-3-2-1 rule?

October 2, 2011

It will provide you with an actual value of what you are getting for your advertised dollar. Simple but very useful tool, to understand and apply it each and every day....If you where a Manager was working for me and you could not provide me these number daily, we would have a problem?

Who has used this rule in Their Dealership?

Part One. This formula allows you and your Sales Manager to see your progress with how you are handling customers. I will tell you how many customers you had for the day, week and the month. Part two it will allow you and your Sales Manager to know what percentage of the customer are taking a demo drive. Part three it allows your Sales Manager to know how many offers you are getting from your walk in traffic as a percentage. Part four it indicates your closing ratio from all of your efforts....When you understand this concept, you will know where you will need additional training. We are all aware you will always have 100 percent customers so the top number will always be 100 percent.

Part Two is the demo drive....when you take the number of clients and divide them by how many demo drives you had it will provide you with a percentage. I good number is 75 percent of customers should be going on a demo drive.....if you're getting let's say 44 percent you will need to work on how to get more demo drives why are your clients not taking more demo rides with you.

Part Three. Is the offer how many customers are you getting an offer from after you have taken them on a demo drive. It's imperative percentage. It is where most sales people get week or do not have the proper training to get a customer to present an offer; no offers no sales... if your only getting 30 percent of the customers to make an offer, then you will need to focus on what you are not doing....Once you learn this, it will increase, and you will have more sales.

Part Four. Is the actual close, when you make a purchase, you have done all the steps in order, and correctly, now you have earned a commission for your efforts. A good closing ratio, depending on how many customer you spoke to is in around the 17 percent.

Let's review the 4-3-2-1 Rule

4 - is the number of how many clients you spoke to today, so it is always a 100%

3 - is the number of how many clients you took on a demo drive, so it is 75%

2 - is the number of how many clients presented you with an offer, so it is 50%

1 - is the number of clients you close using the above steps, so it is 25%

You made a sale, means you made a commission.. so if you want to make two sales, just double the numbers.

Now that you have an understanding of how this works, please feel free to ask any additional questions on this subject. The most competitive formula you should be sharing with your sales staff, as a Sales Manager. Learn this and you keep your job forever, and more than likely get recruited by other dealers who see your value.

RevPages Have Many Abilities for Successful Promoting

June 29, 2011

When l created my first RevPages it was for one simple reason, see what it was all about and how useful it could benefit us all. I took my time reviewed all the features, learned them all, then decided to create a page we can study and learn from it. The point l am trying to make here is not to look at the product, but review the quality I laid out.

If you ask yourself what do I promote and what do I enjoy, then it will become natural, to produce what I did, passion, honesty and most of all just be yourself. The key here is to have everything work and lead all your readers to where you want to go like l do with all my links that clickable, point vital clickable.

Then what l did with that RevPages was added to all my other blogs, websites, and Twitter for fun see how it all played out. The results were good, but l was looking for was feedback on the page, not the Dodge Truck. Not many members got it. Instead, some decide to leave URL, others left comments towards the truck, others just dumb miss spelled words.

The key here is back links when you use it correctly with the RevPage, what l did with mine was provide you ideas on what you can create, stop looking at the truck play with the information, the links, etc., etc. get good at it then rewards come to you.

So go back have a look and learn from what you have at your finger tips, use it to it's fullest power, make it work and spread it.

The difference between dumb spamming and creative marketing.

Are You A Star AT Show and Tell

June 23, 2011

STARS ALSO KNOW HOW TO USE THE RIGHT MESSAGE WITH THE right audience at the right time. They are superb communicators. But being a good communicator doesn't always mean "being on." In fact, one of the things that average performers do wrong is to communicate over: Every day, they send another memo to the boss. They chatter on, but they have done anything to contribute. People turn a deaf ear to them. Star performers know how to time their message, and how to craft them, so people pay attention.

If you want to excel at "show and tell," understand your audience: What moves people in a particular audience? Who do they listen to? What languages makes sense to them?

For one person, it's going to be dollars; for another, it's going to be valued. You match that language with the way you deliver information---whether you're making a presentation, sending a memo, or cornering someone in the hallway to test an idea.

Figure out the message that moves people, put it into the language they speak and deliver it in a way that works for them.

The whole concept here is for you to understand how to perform without even having to think about what you're doing, working at your highest ability. Showcasing your talents and address solutions that provide the reason for your audience to listen to what you're saying.

Let me know what you thought of this little bit of information will it help you can you apply what you just read. Post your comments and let's all learn from this!

How To Sell, Yourself Effectively, to your Audience!

June 22, 2011
First of all, I would like to mention, that this article is not based on my experience only, but on some research, I did in forums and ezines also.

There are many reasons why it is tough to succeed online, but most of the time, people do succeed in spite of having the odds stacked against them.

One of the most important elements for success online is to have an unstoppable mindset. The people who succeed in their online home business are always having a higher desire for success as compared to others.

One of the important factors to success online is to sell YOURSELF online.

If you don’t do that, you will never make it big online.

Here is why.

You can compare the Internet is to a large ocean. If you have a website, it means nothing. A website without traffic or a good brand is like Robbie Williams singing in his backyard without any audience. His songs are great, but if nobody notice him, how can he be famous and a born entertainer? The later one is what he wants you to believe. His way to sell himself!

So how do you sell yourself online?

Always focus on your strengths and talk about them often!
People respect authority and power. So if you promote your strengths, people will take notice of you. What are you good at? Writing? Networking? Coaching? Let everyone know about it. If you do not believe in yourself, you cannot expect other people to believe in you.

Always give more than you receive!

People who are giving more than what is expected will also receive a lot! When people see in you a giver, you will gain a lot of followers and people will listen to you. Take a blog for example when you talk to people about how to sell online, giving away a lot of free tips, this will help to brand yourself as an expert and people will come back for more information and tips!

Do not hesitate to promote yourself whenever you have a chance!

People who support themselves, their own or affiliate products and programs dynamically and with a pinch of aggressiveness will always outdo the hesitant once. If you are afraid to promote yourself or your products whenever you have a chance, you will not succeed!

By understanding these principles, you will get your foothold on the net!

How do you sell yourself online? Would be pleased to hear from you.

Reviewing and Understand who and what you want in life.

June 18, 2011

Reviewing and having a look at yourself, no one knows you better than you. I like what Cheryl wrote it made a lot of good sense we all need to see what direction we are going and making the changes to improve us overall standards of living.

Knowing our weakness is so important, and then we can carry out the correct adjustments so we can stay on track of our dreams, goals and have this ability will help us reach our destination. No need for big changes just minor tune ups here and there reminding us of what we already knew most of the time.

So next time things are not going your way take your time and find your weakness, or what is holding you back and then you will know what the answer is to correct your problem. It's all about making your attitude stronger as you drive to become the best you can be in life.

Take a sheet of paper out, turn it sideways, so the long side is the top of the page. Belief or not, relax your brain. Now in the middle of this sheet of paper, write you are main why in life.

Now start writing additional information that is related to your why in life, mess around, have fun with your obstacles that are holding you back. You will be pleasantly surprised on how easy it is to improve and eliminated them obstacles that are holding you back in life.

What you're doing is providing your abilities an opportunity to understand how to overcome and move forward from your emotions. Your mind needs to be focused, and this is the only way you can direct it to the right and positive direction of self-improvement.

If you need a little motivation to get this program off the ground, l would like to invite you to the most important 15 or so minutes you will spend on educating who you are.

When you Hate Things, Transform them Into Goals

June 17, 2011

If we all go back into our childhood, we will recall and only pursued things we enjoyed and loved. How could you stop playing your favorite game as a child only cause you sat on the bench and you hate that feeling? The important thing here is you never forgot what it felt like when you cheered on your teammates and loved the celebration when the game came to an end. You would always come back the follow day and practiced hard to get your opportunity to shine.

We all got older, perhaps wiser; we decided to avoid all the confrontation regarding all the things we hated and started avoiding them instead of meeting them head on. We started to thinking entirely differently here, instead of getting excited about next's weeks game, we only thought about how we had failed at the previous match.

We just forgot of how much we loved the game we all played as kids, only concentrated on our defeats instead of thinking of the fences or whatever sport you enjoyed as a child. The mind has that ability to make or break your progress, we all forget we have this ability to revise it before it becomes the success of our choice.

If you have this type of thinking, who is at fault here, who do you blame, how do you correct it? It's a fact that happened to me, and l will share it with all who reads this article. When l down fault back on 2004, my dad told me one thing that l never forgot, and very glad l listened to him. He said to me you want to see the real problem! I looked at him and said yes l would appreciate that information, will then go to the bathroom and look in the mirror you will see the problem.

Take your time and re-read this again, you will understand life is all about how we program our attitudes. When we program it we then have the ability to do whatever it is we programmed our minds to achieve. It's only an article, l feel if you apply this to your life, you will understand the real meaning of benefiting from your hate obstacles in life.

Starting An Online Business – Some Simple Tips To Get You Going

June 6, 2011

You may imagine that starting an online business is never an easy thing to accomplish. It may be much easier than starting a bricks and mortar business. Still you do have to put some long hours and hard work into it if you want to see it reach a level of success. It's certainly not a walk in the park as some people would like you to believe.
There are however some steps that you can follow to make it as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible. Here are some simple tips on how to effectively get your online business off the ground.

Do your homework and perform extensive research about the online business you are planning to start. Just because you have this great idea doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to work online. You will have to take into account all the factors that could be barriers to your success. All the tools and resources you need to your research are available online. Make a point of visiting blogs and forum websites related to the idea you have. Look at the competition. Do you think you can compete with them? Look at your potential market. Is it enough to sustain your business in the long run? You need to have answers to these questions before you take the plunge of starting an online business.

Focus on a particular niche. One thing you should understand about the internet is that almost anything you can imagine is being sold online. Whatever product or service you are planning to offer, chances are there is already someone else selling it too. Doesn't mean though that you should stop pursuing your idea. The secret to online marketing is finding a niche market and dominating it. Finding the particular niche is where the hard work starts. Begin by searching for your main keyword on one of the major search engines. If you get millions of high-quality results that give you exactly what you are searching for, then the niche is probably too saturated already. So find another one. Keep doing this until you find one where you think you can compete with other marketers. There are some perfect keyword research tools available to help you with this.

Get a professional-looking website. People judge websites by how they look. If your site doesn't catch their attention within a few seconds, then they are just a click away from leaving your site. So if you can't design your website yourself, find someone who can. Put yourself in the shoes of your site visitors. Would your site interest you if you were looking at it? Would you take it seriously? Among business websites, a simplicity of design is the norm. Simple in a way that it isn't too cluttered and that what's contained on the site are only the things that matter to the customer.

Has your business website optimized for the search engines? It's no secret that search engine traffic converts to customers more than any other type of traffic like social traffic or direct traffic. Therefore, getting your site found via search engines should be the main focus of your attention.

If you follow these tips on starting an online business, the process will become a lot simpler and smoother. Don't miss Judge me on this, I don't say this is the one and only way, I just like to show you some ways.

Why should I share other people's stuff

June 3, 2011

It has been told many times; it is important to share with social media.

Many people do, but many people share only their stuff.

Why do they only share their stuff?

Because they think that sharing content of others does not help their business or branding.

WRONG!

Of course, it depends on what you share. If you share useful tips and blogs that can help people in some way, and you do that on a regular basis, this can contribute to brand you and therefore help your business:


When i.e. you tweet or re-tweet quality content this will get noticed (be patient). Will result in people spontaneously following you.
The people that see that you shared their content will like that and feel good. What better first impression can you make than make people feel good? They will view your profile, maybe connect and return the favor. Now this is very powerful! When other people recommend your, service/product/content it has more impact that when you recommend it yourself.


When you share content on social media sites, you are also promoting that social media site. Will help these social media sites to grow. All members from that social media site, including you, benefit from that.

How big your personal exposure and influence on social media is, depends on your individual efforts. Building connections and being active in a positive way by posting quality content are important. There are many articles on these subjects in the Kooiii article section. The other thing important is to lead by giving a good example.

When above makes sense to you Kooiii is a good place to start. With Kooiii's social DNA you can share any continent simultaneously to the major networks. The life-feed of other networks will save you a lot of time; you can monitor activities on other networks you are on. You don't have to switch tabs all the time and take action immediately.

However, you can apply above tips on any site that have sharing options. There are plenty share options here on APSense as well. Use them!

I have seen several requests from Cheryl, often at Wincer's request to write a review on Alexa. Or to promote or share a new feature? Not many follow up on these requests. I hope that after reading the above, you do now understand that by the follow-up to those applications you are also promoting YOU!

Is It The Product, Or The Company, Or The People?

June 1, 2011

What I'm about to share here is very crucial for anyone who is looking to create a good online presence. Personally, I'm not the kind of person who promotes companies or products, but here's the thing; there's always that particular one that just gets you thinking - Heck, why not; tell the world!


Ever since I started putting myself in front of the camera, I have developed this passion for attaining greater heights; and have to say, the more I climb, the more I realize that there's so much space up there for anyone who's serious about succeeding. A great quote I got from somewhere (I can't remember who said it) - "Don't plan to stay at the bottom because it's always crowded, aim for the top; up there's a lot better."


Now my point is, I joined my company based on the team, not the product. I mean, what makes a business thrive or stand out? The people of course! Without a substantial group of people, there'll be no well-known brand or establishment today that would have lasted as long as they have. People make businesses work. With that said; the product I use sells itself, and that's a fact!


Video marketing has fast become the best mode of sending out information to people. Sites like youtube and the rest of them are brilliant, but sometimes you just needed that space, away from the noise, away from prying eyes, away from the ads, away from idea snatchers; just you and your prospects, just you and your loved ones, just you and your team. A platform where you can afford to stream out as many videos as possible to as many people who are connected to you; and also connect with new ones quickly in the process.


OK, I know I've babbled too much here! To wrap it up, I believe in joining people than companies. Why? It's because companies might not last for long, but friendships thrive, amidst the challenges; it's a no brainier!


That's why I joined Talk Fusion: The team, the support, the training - all summed up has been brilliant. If you want to know what we are all about? (You'll need to make some coffee in the process; they will take a while), and get back to me; mind you, though, it's only for serious people who have the passion for getting things done; that's how we operate. I'll be waiting on the other side.

What if You Took, APSense Seriously, What would Happen

May 31, 2011

When you re-read the title of this article, it has a reason to me writing it. We are here for one logical reason. APSense has the tools we need to use as marketers on the internet. The most important thing you can do when you join APSense creates an open profile, revises it over and over until it is who you are.

This very simple but effective concept will provide you with immediate credibility within our community. It's called "Branding Your Self" providing vital information to whether l have a desire to do business with YOU and Your Company. As a trainer for General Motors in sales, l learned the most important ingredient of success!!! Make a lasting impression, showcase your talents, all you need to do.

We all have this incredible ability for success, but we forget the most important part of this process, is training our minds, on our abilities for future goals in life. Just "STOP"....think about what l just said, we invest for all the wrong reasons. We need to invest in our mindset when we do this the rest comes naturally..

This process indicates all of your weaknesses, constructively, all you have to do is apply the solutions to them. Instead of hoping to the next program, invest in your abilities, learn the systems, follow creative thinkers who understand marketing and achieving your dreams and desires.

Step One:
l will have more for you actually to become the very best you can be. Most of all just never looked it at that way.

How to find the Real Person behind the Profile Picture

May 30, 2011

In my previous article titled "Are You Not Beautiful?", I had pointed to the violation of APSense code of conduct by some of the members. While self-introspection and voluntary action was expected and my nature or etiquette was not permitting me to expose people, I had to do some research a la reverse engineering!


I had come across several celebrities like models and Bollywood film actresses on FaceBook and wondered whether they all had reached the end of their career and had no work to do but chat with people like you and me. To my horror, I found three or four Katrina Kaif's (Bollywood actress) all talking among themselves.


My quest for ascertaining facts led me to TinEye! I have culled out the following from their website:

* TinEye is a reverse image search engine. You can submit an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions.

* TinEye was created by Idée Inc. Idée develops advanced image identification and visual search software for wire photo agencies, stock photography firms, media entertainment companies and some of the world's leading imaging firms including Adobe Systems Inc., iStockphoto, and Associated Press.

* TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks. It is free to use for non-commercial searching.

* TinEye regularly crawls the web for new images, and we also accept contributions of complete online image collections. To date, TinEye has indexed 1,958,654,947 images from the internet to help you find what you're looking for.

* The free for non-commercial use version of TinEye at tineye.com allows you to do up to 50 searches per day, up to 150 searches per week.

If you want to conduct an experiment, just right-click on a suspiciously good-looking profile picture and select 'copy image link'. Paste the link in the search box of TinEye! Find out the celebrity 'culprit'!

Well, who is the real and who is the unreal?

Solution for Network Marketing Tug-A-War

May 26, 2011

Written by Lonnie Niver


Being in network marketing is hard when there is so many to choose from to start making money. If you're just starting out, you are probably overwhelmed by how many there are. You are probably getting bombarded with people trying to sell you on their opportunity that sounds excellent.

It's like tying you to a rope and playing tug-a-war as to who is going to sign you up. You are probably feeling like you are being tugged in a hundred different directions, and it is wearing you out. Believe me, I know the feeling. I have been where you are at, and it is time for you to cut the ropes.

Start by evaluating each opportunity

Stability - Make sure the company has been in business for at least five years.
Do they have a legal product/service that has a high demand?
What is the commission based on recruiting or sales? If based on recruiting it's a scam.
Look at how fast you will generate income. If you are spending more on the ADP than you are in commissions, you will lose money. There are opportunities that require a one-time fee with no ADP obligations. One that comes to mind is Multipure.
Attend the seminars and learn what you can from each company.

This list may sound like a lot of work, but it will save you time and money. When you do find the right opportunity, stay F.O.C.U.S., Follow One Coarse Until Successful. Will keep you from being pulled in a hundred different directions.

Also, stay consistent. Most of the successful Network Marketers I have met say that the Key to their success was being consistent. It will build your credibility to market online and people will be more apt to follow you no matter what you do.

Another is to work as a T.E.A.M., Together Everyone Achieves More. Working as a team will give you ideas to build your business. Have you heard the phrase,"Two Heads are better than one"? People on your team may have some ideas to share with you. If you find something that works then share it with your team. Their success is your success.

You can't do every single network marketing program that tugs on you so you have to narrow it down to the one that is suitable for you. These are just a few ways you can free yourself from network marketing tug-a-war.
