THE $300 SOLUTION/NETWORK MARKETING

Reprinted with permission, "The $300 Dollar Solution" By Randolph A. Byrd How to Create Successful Leaders by Creating Achievable Milestones Question:

 I know that in Network Marketing Sales, "The only way to fail is to quit."But I'm having trouble convincing people in my Network about that. How do I get them to stay involved long enough to start seeing some success? This is one of those timely "Great Questions" that comes up again and again, and there are lots of great ways to answer it. Making sure your people are motivated by helping them stay clear on what their own personal goals are . . .

 making sure they have the tools they need and know how to use them . . . making sure their efforts are supported by three-way calls and meetings until they've got their "sea legs" securely under them - all these are sound approaches.
 But there's another answer - one that's perhaps more basic and essential! Let's run the numbers and take a practical look at the conditions you've got for your people to get involved and stay involved. There are two things which prevent most Network Marketers from achieving success: They don't make $300 per month quickly enough; and their downline distributors don't either! Surprised? You're not alone. But the truth is that $300 is the income-earning threshold below which there is no Network Marketing Sales organization - because there are simply no Net workers to make one. People who make $300 a month in this business stick around. People who don't - don't. It's that simple. Networking Enemy ...1 - Attrition No one in this profession likes to talk about attrition. Why not? Because it undermines the profession's primary benefit that we recite in our prospecting routines. You know the rap: "You sponsor 10 people, and they sponsor 10 people, and they . . . and pretty soon. . ."

Now, how successful would you be as a prospector if you said instead: "You sponsor 10 people, and then nine drop out, and then the one who is left sponsors 10 people and nine of THEM will drop out, and . . ." That sounds like more of a positive proactive pitch, now, doesn't it? But it is the truth! At least, it has been true for most Network Marketers. Please note that when we say "attrition,” we're not just talking about the downline, that impersonal genealogy of all the distributors in your organization. We're talking about YOU - one individual Network Marketer.
 But what really hurts is that an 80-to-90 percent attrition rate means that 80-90 percent of all efforts as well as all the efforts of your downline organization are lost in spinning your wheels. i.e., sponsoring numbers of folks into your organization only to have them leave before they've had the chance to be successful! As Dayle Malohey says, "The problem with most Network Marketers is that they quit before payday." But what causes this high drop-out rate! And what can we do about it! Ask open-ended questions and you're bound to get long, equally open-ended answers.

 CEOs and master distributors alike have given us all sorts of philosophies on why distributors leave our profession. I'll mention some of those reasons in a bit, but to find the empirical "truth" let's rephrase the question. At what point do Network Marketers NOT drop out of their organization? Specifically, how many dollars per month in compensation does an MLMer have to earn before a high percentage (let's say 95 percent) do NOT dropout? Just about everyone we spoke with answered: "$300 to $400” per month, sustained for at least two or three months. And "by when" do they have to make that amount? Six to nine months is best, with one year being the longest time allotted. And what if they don't? They leave the organization at a rate of 80 to 90 percent per year. And what if they do achieve $300 per month? They stay on board and usually become even more successful. This law is true for you, the individual distributor, just as it is true for your downline, a group of individual distributors just like you. Have yourself - and have each of your downline achieve $300 or more per month in bonus compensation within six to nine months, and you and they will stay in

 the organization and produce! And by the way, retail profits don't count in this scenario, because the whole point is residual income.And your downline will be certain to stay the course if you teach the truth about this business to them. This duplicatable system is as easy as distributing copies of this Report to each person in your downline. So why don't most Network Marketers ever get to the $300-per-month level? Answer: Poor prospecting / sponsoring, and lack of knowledge about this industry and how Network Marketing Sales really works, all of which leads to unrealistic expectations. The way you prospect and sponsor each individual into your program sets up their expectations for success . . . or for their failure.

A common approach to prospecting and sponsoring is the pie-in-the-sky, get-rich-quick, let your downline do the work while you "stroll the beaches - see the world" routine. This method can set up your new distributors for failure almost immediately, because the truth is that 98 percent of all Network Marketers DO NOT EVER reach those heights--and most certainly do not do so within a year. This creates a "lottery" mentality that in turn creates delusional dreams about what this business has to offer . . . and then dashes them. With this style of prospecting - sponsoring, even if a distributor did reach $300 per month, they'd probably feel like a big failure, because they were set up to make $30, 000 -- NOT $300-a-month. We have a common misconception in this business that $300 is such small potatoes, it's not even worth mentioning - just so much chopped liver.

 Tom "Big Al" Schreiter relates a wonderful story about a man who came into the business with the goal of making $300 a month. Not $10, 000 or $20, 000. Just $300 a month. The man achieved that goal fairly easily and stayed at that $300 income level for a number of years. That didn't seem very ambitious to Tom - especially for such an obviously gifted and capable guy - so, he asked the fellow about it. The man told Tom that he took his initial $300 and accelerated the mortgage payment on his home, paying it off in record time. He then used his free-and-clear equity to buy a second property, rented it out and applies the "extra $300" in the same manner he had with his own house.

 In less than five years, he ended up owning five income properties and was virtually financially set for the rest of his life. All by virtue of the $300 a month he earned through Network Marketing Sales. What other common misstatements do prospectors often make? You won't have to work for a living" . . . "You can become a millionaire like my UPLINE . . ." (flash UPLINE's mega-check here) . . . "Network Marketing is the answer to all your financial woes" . . . "MLM can fulfill all your dreams." While none of these statements are outright lies, and all actually quite often are true for a few leadership distributors, they do set up false expectations for the novice Networker.


                           america afo and apo military bases only 

Try instead statements like, "Network Marketing Sales can offer you greater time and freedom as you can work this business anywhere, anytime you choose." Or, "You can achieve a part-time or full-time income that can supplement or replace your current source of income, making enough in a few hours a week to pay for your car loan, a college education . . ." etc. When linked to the prospects "WHY,” these statements set up value in the opportunity and yet don't create unrealistic expectations for what this business has to offer. THE $300 SOLUTION Now, what would happen if you told your downline (or told yourself!) that the first step to MLM success is to get to that $300 a month level within six to nine months - or maybe even a year? What happens to their expectations now? What would happen if you told them the real truth about this business: When a distributor reaches a monthly compensation bonus of $300 per month he or she will not drop out! This is a point of no return! There is no turning back! When they get to that $300 level, you and your organization MUST recognize and acknowledge their level of achievement. After all, in this recognition business, $300 a month is a "rite of passage." Call it a coming of age and celebrate it like a bar mitzvah. Like puberty, it becomes a point of no return! It is a bridge into adulthood where one may not ever return to being a child! When you celebrate this coming of age, you set up a great expectation for your entire group. Imagine for a moment that you told your downline that the amount necessary to achieve the no-going-back level was $2, 000 for the first level of real achievement and success.

 But share the $300 Solution with them and make a public celebration out of every distributor achieving this level and they will not drop out, because they've learned to expect that distributors earning $300 monthly do not quit! Once they learn the truth about this business, they will operate within that truth! It will become a law of Network Marketing Sales nature. Note also the difference in their attitude when they achieve only $150 per month. Within the old paradigm of "getting rich,” $150 would have left them feeling like (and therefore, being!) a failure. Now, when they reach $150, they'll say, "I'm halfway home!" What a difference! So, how do we get to that magical $300-per-month benchmark? You and your downline are halfway there already, because you are now armed with the knowledge of the $300 Solution. Since most new Network Marketers haven't a clue as to how this profession works, they usually don't know what's expected of them. They have no realistic goal. Perhaps their goal is not specific and probably has no basis in fact even if they do have one.

But now, they can have a realistic goal that's achievable, and backed up with research about this business. They now can have realistic expectations for themselves, and for their future downline, too! As for the specifics of how to get them to the $300 level in your organization, that depends somewhat on your product and your compensation plan. So, do a little research on your own program and establish several scenarios for your distributor group and teach them how to get to $300 a month as soon as possible! Help your downline members get to this level by prospecting and sponsoring distributors WITH THEM. Partnership is the key. Three-way calling and three-way sponsoring interviews are two powerful partnering tools you can use to have virtually anybody at $300 in very quick time. What's more, if they use three-way with all their people the way you did with them, imagine the dependability AND duplicate-ability of that! If you want more of your people to stick with it -- and with you, too -- inject the $300 Solution into your teaching and training routine. Don't be afraid that you'll scare off those "heavy hitters" with an eye to more sky-high incomes. These folks will clearly and quickly see the virtue of a system that has hundreds and hundreds of part-time Net workers (potentially in their organization) all earning enough to stay in business.

 And just for fun - and for the present and future possibilities of profit - take out your calculator and crunch some numbers to see what would happen if you were to merely diminish your own organization's attrition rate by, say, 10 to 20 percent. I think that you'll find what you've got there, in terms of your own check, is a good deal more than $300! Reprinted with permission, "The $300 Dollar Solution" By Randolph A. Byrd Are YOU making $300 or more with your business?

 If not, are you at least happy with where you are right now for the work that you are putting into your business? Is $300 an attainable goal for you in the very near future? Do you have a team of business builders working with you to help you reach your goal? Does your business allow for true residual income so that you can make this $300 goal and also allow you to make more?? These are all questions that you need to ask yourself and then make it happen!!

Video Marketing--What You Need to Know

Video marketing is one of the best ways to breathe new life into a business. Many business owners see the potential in video marketing, but have limited knowledge of how to use it successfully. That is where you differ from them. You'll know how to make video marketing work for you with the advice in this article and with our cutting edge software you will be making studio level videos in no time at all.

                                

The first thing you have to do with video marketing is to give it a try. The more you experiment, the better your outcomes will become. Try everything which comes to mind and then figure out what works and what doesn't. This is the best way to make video marketing successful.

The content of your video plays an essential role in its success. The equipment you use to shoot the video does not determine how many will view it. People watch videos that are alright if they have relevant information that they think is important. Still, you want  the best software available.

If you are too shy to show your face on the screen, you should try using something like Google Search Stories to help you. This is a good way to show your users all of the pertinent information you need to without worrying about having to show everyone your face.

When writing a description of your video include your web address at the beginning of the description using proper HTML. This will allow viewer to click the link and be immediately directed to your website. You should also include a description using your primary and alternate keywords for better page ranks.

To help garner even more views embed your video in your website. Most people when they think of video marketing think only of posting a video on YouTube. Instead, post it on your website and include a link on your Facebook wall and Tweet about your new video on Twitter.

If you want to film yourself talking about your products or demonstrating them, you should put together an outline for your video before you start. Make a list of all the points you feel are important and organize them logically so your video is easy to follow. Remember that you can edit your video to organize different points in a logical order too.

All of your videos should be as timeless as possible. When talking about a product release or a new product, it could be difficult to make a video that people will want to watch 6 months from now. If you focus on the product, and not the release date, you will be creating a video that people will watch in the future.

When searching for inspiration, try YouTube Suggest to find related topics which you could speak on. This gives you a tree of various ideas which you can either use outright or might spark a topic idea in your mind. The more research you do, the more ideas you'll come up with.

People like honesty! Only make videos about subjects that really interest you or causes you really believe in. Adopting a more transparent, candid tone will come across to viewers as an indication of reliability and trustworthiness.

Video tutorials are an excellent way to create new content and assist your customers. People will often search for sites with tutorial information about products or services. When they find great content, they will often share it after consuming it themselves. This is a great way to increase your visibility.

There is a great deal of promise that video marketing can bring to a business. Lots of business owners realize this, but they are missing one key element needed to use video marketing. You now have that key element. Put it to good use and make video marketing your most successful business strategy ever.

My Name Is Wallace Phillips although im fairly new to video marketing my choice and desire is Explaindio!

Explaindio Video Creator and its companion marketplace make it
possible for businesses and professionals supporting businesses to
quickly and easily create completely unique video without any
technical knowledge - and if you are not using video you are
missing the chance to run video ads, which are more effective and
often have much better ROI than other marketing methods.

Wax/Hash Oil is it safe???

                                                                               

Wax Is Weed’s Next Big Thing And No One Knows If It’s Safe

California dispensaries say butane hash oil, or “wax,” now accounts for 40% of sales — despite potential health risks and home lab explosions on the rise. With no regulation and a lack of good information, stoners turn to self-appointed, and self-interested, “experts” like Matt Rize — but at what cost?

                                                                     

Police all over the country are warning people of a new potent marijuana drug called pot wax.

Pot wax or Wax is 10-20 times more potent than normal marijuana.  It's made from THC that's extracted from the marijuana plant.

Authorities say it's anywhere from 85-99% pure THC, and it's being blamed for fires and deaths all over the country.

It looks like ear wax, but listen to this:  

"Very concerned for the young people who are experimenting with the drugs and those using this potent form of marijuana," 

Authorities say pot wax or has oil as some call it  is the latest 'cannabis craze' sweeping the country. Because of how the drug is manufactured, authorities say pot wax is highly addictive and explosive.

"These labs are similar to meth labs in that the chemicals used is extremely flammable and explosive," 

                                                                           

Effects on the body from normal marijuana 

THC stimulates cells in the brain to release dopamine, creating euphoria, according to NIDA. It also interferes with how information is processed in the hippocampus, which is part of the brain responsible for forming new memories. 

THC can induce hallucinations, change thinking and cause delusions. On average, the effects last about two hours, and kick in 10 to 30 minutes after ingestion. Psychomotor impairment may continue after the perceived high has stopped, however. 

"In some cases, reported side effects of THC include elation, anxiety, tachycardia, short-term memory recall issues, sedation, relaxation, pain-relief and many more," said A.J. Fabrizio, a marijuana chemistry expert at Terra Tech Corp, a California agricultural company focused on local farming and medical cannabis.

Risks

The effects of marijuana make it a popular drug. In fact, it is considered one of the most commonly used illicit drugs in the world. But these effects also concern mental health advocates. THC can trigger a relapse in schizophrenic symptoms, according to NIDA.
Another possible risk of consuming THC comes in the form of impaired motor skills. Marijuana may impair driving or similar tasks for approximately three hours after consumption and it is the second-most common psychoactive substance found in drivers, after alcohol, reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. People taking medical marijuana are instructed not to drive until it has been established that they can tolerate it and conduct motor tasks successfully.
getting back to Wax or hash oil as some call it 20 times the potency of regular old TCH  be your own guide but ask me this stuff is very unsafe especially for the children!
Would love some feedback on this issue

Peace!

Dennis Hastert paid him to hide sexual abuse!

                                                                  

The Following Article is copied not mines just sharing in hopes you the reader as well the rest of america will wake up!

The former US House of Representatives speaker Dennis Hastert, who was indicted on Thursday on federal criminal charges, was paying a man from his past to try to conceal sexual misconduct, the Los Angeles Times reported on Friday, citing two unnamed federal law enforcement officials.

One of the officials said the alleged misconduct involved a man and occurred during Hastert’s time as a high school wrestling coach and teacher in Yorkville, Illinois, before he became a lawmaker.

Hastert could not immediately be reached for comment.

Prosecutors said the charges related to Hastert’s alleged effort to hide $3.5m in payments he was making to a person to conceal past misconduct, but did not detail the nature of the misconduct.

Asked why Hastert, an Illinois Republican who become his party’s longest-serving House speaker before leaving Congress in 2007, was making the payments, the official told the Times that it was intended to conceal Hastert’s past relationship with the man.

“It was sex,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Hastert, 73, was charged on Thursday with structuring the withdrawal of $952,000 in cash to evade the requirement that banks report cash transactions over $10,000, and lying to the FBI about his withdrawals.

Each count of the two-count indictment carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Before his terms in Congress, Hastert served three terms as an Illinois state representative and was a teacher at Yorkville high school in suburban Chicago for 16 years.

The Yorkville school district that employed Hastert from 1965 to 1981 said in a statement on Friday it “has no knowledge of Mr Hastert’s alleged misconduct, nor has any individual contacted the district to report any such misconduct”.

The district said it was first made aware of any concerns regarding the former congressman when the indictment was released.

Judge Thomas Durkin has been assigned to the case, but has not yet set a date for Hastert’s first appearance. The former congressman has not been arrested and is not considered a flight risk, a spokeswoman for the US attorney’s office in Chicago said.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest, during his daily briefing, declined to comment specifically on the allegations against Hastert but said: “There’s nobody here who derives any pleasure from reading about the former speaker’s legal troubles at this point.”

Hastert has resigned from the board of advisers to the J Dennis Hastert Center for Economics, Government and Public Policy at his alma mater Wheaton College in Illinois, the school said on Friday. He graduated from Wheaton College in 1964, where he was also a wrestler.

On Thursday, he resigned from the Washington lobbying firm Dickstein Shapiro, which he joined in 2008, and resigned as a board member of the exchange operator CME Group.

with great hopes this borrowed material will stretch far and wide the republican party is a threat and menace to america

Be Your Own Boss Start A Home Business

[category events business]
[tags business,marketing,money,]

At some point or another, many people have considered starting their own home business. Who among us wouldn't love to be their own boss, set their own hours, and work out of the comfort of their own home? There are many points to consider, however, when starting your own business. Here's some useful advice.

Dress for success. Working at home sometimes makes you feel as if you can sit around in your pajamas. You want to still dress like you are going into the office. This allows you to be productive and focused on your work.

No matter what type of home business you start, you must have a marketing plan ready to put into action. Most every business today requires a relationship with the internet, and there are many marketing packages available on the internet as well as through local and national media. A successful business is never without a successful marketing strategy.

Take advantage of the signature line in your email program and make sure it includes the link to your website. This simple act can generate numerous sales. All email correspondence with customers, should include this link so that they can easily find their way back to your website to purchase more product.

If you are just getting started with your home business, make contact with your friends and family to let them know what you are doing. Word of mouth business can be very powerful, so simply letting them know of your plans is helpful. Consider offering them a discount on your product to get them motivated to purchase something.

A good way to gather information on running a home business is join an online forum on the topic. This way, you can connect with other home business owners and converse about your situations. Many people who work from home will have the same issues and problems as you, so you can share solutions.

Promote your home business by offering a coupon for a free sample or a discount for your services. People are attracted to free offers, so this is a good way to bring in new customers. People are more willing to try a new business if they do not have to risk their own money to try it.

First you should explore the type of business which would appeal to you most. Assess your goals, interests, and capabilities. The most important aspect is that you must enjoy what you are doing day in and day out. Successful entrepreneurs are the ones who feel passionate about the business they own. An entrepreneur cannot feel passionate and driven to success if they do not enjoy what they do!

Utilize social networking to the best of your abilities and then some. If you aren't using social networking within your home business, you are losing out on a great communication method that is used by countless businesses today. Social networking improves your communication, visibility, and even your reputation within the target group you have chosen.

Write your way to a home based business. If you enjoy writing, and have plenty to say consider a business in article marketing. You can make money by writing content for the internet. You can write at your own pace and market your skills anywhere you want. There is huge potential in article marketing.

The idea of starting a home business is appealing to many people, and rightfully so. Starting a home business need not be as daunting as it might seem. The more you have thought out the steps needed, the better prepared you will be to make a success of it.

4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

5The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.

It seems as though the world is filled with desire and need, and that can make a lot of people wonder if they can attract abundance. They want to know if they can attract things like better relationships, financial security, and optimal health. The answer is that everybody is already attracting everything that they have in their lives, good or bad.

The main mechanism of how this works is commonly referred to as the law of attraction. This law is always at work, and it doesn't matter if you believe it or are even aware of it. It's just like gravity. Someone who was never educated and is ignorant (in the best sense of the word) of the laws of gravity is still affected by those laws. If they jump off the top of a building, they will fall regardless of their level of knowledge and belief.

As you can see, the law of attraction can bring unpleasant things into your life; however, we are talking about how to attract abundance. This is the good stuff! Here's what it comes down to...you are already attracting what you have, so you may as well do it in a way that brings more of the things you really want.

The first thing you need to realize is that there is more than enough for everybody to have abundance. Sadly, some people get jealous or angry when they see wealthy people. Anybody who thinks that way will not be able to attract abundance. Take a close look at your attitudes about wealth and other things that you want. If you find that you have negative feelings about other people who have those things, then you need to change your feelings.

Do you think you could have $1,000,000 within three months? If you don't think it's possible, then you are right. But if you think it's at possible, then there is a chance of success. Belief determines what you receive. It may take practice, but the more you believe that you can get what you want, the sooner you will get it. On the same note, you need to ferret out and change any hidden beliefs that may be holding you back.

Not only can you attract abundance, but you can attract more and more of it by showing gratitude. Being thankful for the things you have shows that you are ready for more. You can show gratitude by taking good care of what you have and being a good steward. Another way of showing gratitude is through generosity. Being generous proves that you believe that you have more than enough, and that there is more than enough for everybody.

As you can see, it's entirely possible to attract abundance into your life. Forget the naysayers who are always critical but never successful. The life you want is waiting for you...all you need to do is start taking steps in the right direction.

4 Differences Between Websites And A Blog

[category products business]
[tags websites, blogs,]

Blogs are sites where a person can put a shared journal or a businesses can even promote their website. There have been a lot of questions out there lately of how a blog works and how they are different from other website. There are usually 4 basic differences that make a Blog unique from a website.

1. Posts Posts are said to be the core function of any blog. It is the building blocks of the blog and it is what holds the blog together. The posting on the blog is most generally done by the blog owner and is usually on a variety of different topics. Also another distinct difference between a blog and a website is on the blog the postings will appear in chronological order. With a website you do not have to post. It is just a basic site where a person may go to obtain information on a certain product or idea.

2. Comments On a blog visitors are allowed to leave comments, if you the owner authorize it, on your posts. It is also a good way for a reader of your blog and you to communicate. The comment section of your blog also helps drive visitors to your site. The comment section is a very important component of any blog. With a website you do not have to have a comment section.

3. Categories The category section of your blog is basically where the information from the posts or posted content is organized. It keeps your site looking neat and well formatted. It also prevents your blog from looking overcrowded. For bigger Blogs the categories can be organized by month or even topic. There is also usually a search feature that assists the reader to find information on a certain topic quickly. Usually the blog has software that automatically places your posts into various categories.

4. Subscriptions This is a very important aspect when you want to learn how a Blog works. The subscription features allows readers to become a member of the blog and once they become a member of the blog they can be notified when new information is placed on a blog. This is a great reason to create a blog as it allows you to create an online community on a certain topic. Some blog sites are now implementing a news letter feature which allows a person to read your information without even having to sign into the site.

As you can see there are some big differences between a blog and a website. The more differences you understand the more you will understand Blogging. A Blog can be a fun and exciting way to meet new people while sharing your ideas, if they are understood correctly.

Great Tips For A Successful Home Business

[category business]
[tags business,]

Having a home business presents many unique challenges and rewards. Not only do you have to take care of the actual product or service that you offer, you also need to take care of the administrative and marketing duties as well. Here are some tips to help keep your home business going.

When you are just starting with your home business, it can be difficult to separate home life and work. You can find yourself in situations where you are trying to do work around the house, do work related to your business, and also relax at the same time. This can lead either burn out from working too much or not enough productivity by focusing too much time on other things. It is important to set boundaries between your home life and your home business, and allocate specific times during the day that you devote to each.

Run a contest on your business website. Spread the word about your contest through forums that your customers frequent, contest boards, ezines, guest blog entries and any other methods you can find. Make it fun, keep it simple and devise a prize that is worthwhile, but not over-the-top. Contests bring traffic.

Determine an advertising budget for your home business. It is important to trade with other companies, offer a selection of free products for prizes and have other means of advertisement. However, the costs can quickly add up, so it is important to be aware of how much you have to spend and stay within that limit.

Participate in trade shows that focus on your particular product or service. Trade shows provide a great way to network with others in your industry. It is also an effective way to promote your business to many potential customers by providing you with a setting to demonstrate your product or service.

You should contact a business lawyer in your area before you actually start your business. There may be laws that your state has established regarding home businesses of which you may not be aware. Contacting a business attorney is a great way to find out what the laws are and to find out what you need to do in order to follow them.

Get the right insurance for your home business. You'll need to insure your business property, of course, and if you use a vehicle for business, you might need special insurance coverage for it, too. You may need business liability coverage, and you should also have health insurance if you're not covered by someone else's policy. You should discuss your situation with a qualified insurance agent to best protect yourself and your business against the unexpected, whether it's storm damage, a car accident, or a medical problem.

Search engine optimization is a vital tool to increase the Internet visibility of your home business. Search engine optimization can be an excellent method for owners of home businesses to market their sites online and increase their audience size. You can get involved with the SEO process by hiring expert consultants or by learning how to do your own optimization.

Don't let yourself be lazy with your home business. Write up a business plan before you open up shop, and be sure to stick to it. If you want to be absolutely certain your plans are sound, contact a business adviser for a few expert tips before you open your doors for business.

Use these tips to help keep your home business going. A home business can be frustrating at times, but the independence that you have to really make your business shine is something that no one else can replace. Just make sure you handle all parts of your business and your business will do well.

Are You Ready To Become Self-Employed

[category current events]
[tags employment,business,]

If you are interested in starting a business, or taking over one, you face a daunting task that carries a level of risk and excitement not possible in the 'employee' world.

If the financial independence of self-employment appeals to you - no boss, no income limits as to time and wage, and the ability to let your personal drive determine your compensation - then you will no doubt be eagerly going over the many options available to release you from your current job.

However, the rush of financial excitement must be tempered by the necessary cost of time, money and effort in properly setting yourself up independently.

Despite income claims made by business opportunity companies, or competing businesses, you must be ready to accept the reality of not seeing personal income for several months - or even years.

Starting a self-employed business on the side, while keeping regular employment as your financial security, is a wise method of ensuring your income.

Another option is to have substantial savings that permit you the freedom to pursue your dreams unencumbered with other employment. However, the savings must also be capable of carrying the costs of developing a business along with providing for your material needs.

Do you also recognize the time that is required in starting your own business? In some ways it is almost unnecessary to bring up the point since your passion will likely drive you to spend many hours in your pursuits. If you have other obligations; family, job, social etc. then you will have to consider if you CAN devote the time needed to get your business off the ground.

Having discussed both money and time, you must recognize that there is much more effort extended BEFORE a business is profitable than at any other time in your business. Yes, once you are getting work and are satisfied with the income level you may be very busy indeed but you will then be compensated for it. When you are still cultivating your business - marketing, doing free jobs, searching for clients and customers - you may not be seeing any income, or a very meager one, which makes your EFFORTS seem immense.

Do not falter! If you come to the point when you are working your hardest and doing everything your business requires but still not seeing monetary results, you may hit a psychological wall. This is where truly entrepreneurial individuals see an obstacle to overcome as opposed to a dead-end to their hard work. Passion for their work and the strong desire to work for themselves overcomes any perceived barriers and moves them to keep going and ultimately becoming very successful.

By persevering you will certainly see the fine fruits of your labors and prove to yourself and others that the benefits of self-employment far outweigh the mediocre status quo of the typical worker's daily grind.

A Day In The Life Of An Affiliate Marketer

[category business]
[tags marketer,marketing,affiliate,]

Being in the affiliate marketing business is not that hard now with the internet at your disposable. It is much easier now compared to the days when people have to make use of the telephones and other mediums of information just to get the latest updates on the way their program is coming along.

So with technology at hand, and assuming that the affiliate is working from home, a day in his or her life would sound something like this?

Upon waking up and after having breakfast, the computer is turned on to check out new developments in the network. As far as the marketer is concerned there might be new things to update and statistics to keep track on.

The site design has to be revised. The marketer knows that a well-designed site can increase sign ups from visitors. It can also help in the affiliate?s conversion rates.

That done, it is time to submit the affiliate program to directories that lists affiliate programs. These directories are means to attract people in joining your affiliate program. A sure way of promoting the affiliate program.

Time to track down the sales you are getting from your affiliates fairly and accurately. There are phone orders and mails to track down. See if they are new clients checking the products out. Noting down the contact information that might be a viable source in the future.

There are lots of resources to sort out. Ads, banners, button ads and sample recommendations to give out because the marketer knows that this is one way of ensuring more sales. Best to stay visible and accessible too.

The affiliate marketer remembered that there are questions to answer from the visitors. This has to be done quickly. Nothing can turn off a customer than an unanswered email.

To prove that the affiliate is working effectively and efficiently, inquiries would have to be paid more attention on. Nobody wants to be ignored and customers are not always the most patient of all people. Quick answer that should appear professional yet friendly too.

In the process of doing all the necessities, the marketer is logged on to a chat room where he or she interacts with other affiliates and those under that same program. This is where they can discuss things on how to best promote their products.

There are things to be learned and it is a continuous process. Sharing tips and advices is a good way of showing support. There may be others out there wanting to join and may be enticed by the discussion that is going on. There is no harm in assuming what opportunities ahead.

The newsletters and ezines were updated days ago, so it is time for the affiliate marketer to see if there are some new things happening in the market. This will be written about in the marketer?s publication to be distributed to the old and new customers.

These same publications are also an important tool in keeping up to date with the newly introduced products. The marketer has put up a sale and promotion that customers may want to know about. Besides, they have to keep up with the deadline of these sales written in the publications.

It is that time to show some appreciation to those who have helped the marketer in the promotions and sale increase. Nothing like mentioning the persons, their sites and the process they have done that made everything worked.

Of course, this will be published in the newsletters. Among the more important information that have been written already.

The marketer still has time to write out recommendations to those who want credible sources for the products being promoted. There is also time to post some comments on how to be a successful affiliate marketer on a site where there are lots of wannabees.

Two objectives done at the same time. The marketer gets to promote the product as well as the program they are in. Who knows, someone may be inclined to join.

Time flies. Missed lunch but is quite contented with the tasks done. Bed time?.

Ok, so this may not be all done in a day. But then, this gives you an idea of how an affiliate marketer, a dedicated one that is, spends the marketing day.

Is that success looming in the distance or what?

Backgroundcheck Org -Know What Your Rights Are

[category current events]
[tags backgroundcheck,rights,civilissues,]

If you are looking for information on what may or may not be included in a back ground check, you should go to backgroundcheck org.

This is a site that will tell you exactly what is or is not included when someone is looking you up in the case of being hired for a new position, or even becoming a volunteer.

9/11 had a big impact on how people view security in this country and in-depth back round checks have pretty much become the norm.

Backgroundcheck org is a wonderful resource for letting you know what your rights are and what must be disclosed to you as a result of the background check.

For instance, if the person or company doing the check wants to check your credit report they must first tell you they are going to do it and give you a summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

If they fail to do this, you could go after them for a grand total of $1,000. Most people do not know this, but now you do. If they check your credit and do not tell you, you can, and should, sue them for $1,000.

No one can do a background check on you with out you giving them your permission. If you are interviewing for a new job you must fill out a form allowing your new prospective employer the access to your information.

Other rights you have that you may not know about are:

If, during the background check, someone reports something negative about you that causes you to not get the position you have applied for, you must be told, and the identity, and source, of the negative information must be revealed to you. You should receive a copy of the report.

If the information in the report you are given is incorrect, you must be given the opportunity to contest it and then find a way to disprove the information included in the report.

It is everyone's best interest to study up on the laws in your state regarding your personal information. Every state is different and you may be able to get some of your information removed from being accessible to the public by going to court and having it legally removed. Some things are simply no one else's business.

Needing to find out about someones background is not just for employers. Any one can order a background check and if you need a new daycare provider for your children or are looking to hire someone to do some work for you like say, a remodel of your kitchen or a subcontractor to build you a new house, you should spend the money and get one done.

Go to backgroundcheck org (don't forget the dot) and learn all you can about the whys and wherefores of why you might be subjected to a background check or why you may need to order one on someone else yourself. It could be the difference between a job well done by a reputable person or company or the nightmare of inviting someone into your home that you really do not want there.

Article Marketing Campaign 5 Key Elements

[category ]
[tags Article, writing,marketing,]

Having a successful article marketing campaign is something that many new to internet marketing dream about and that many others have seen come true. Creating a successful article marketing campaign is possible but only if you are able to incorporate these 5 key elements into your article marketing campaign. If you miss out on any of these you may be missing out on success.

To have an article marketing campaign for a product or service you are interested in promoting that sees positive results you need to have an audience, knowledge about that audience, and knowledge of that product or service. You also need knowledge of the keywords that can be successful in reaching that market, know how to write an effective article that gets them to take action.

You may think that you have a great product on your hands but it is only as great as the number of people interested in it if your desire is to make sales. You need to find out that there is a market for what you are trying to promote. Any article marketing campaign has to have an audience if it is going to work. Do your research and see how much is sold and how great the demand is.

Now that you have for your article marketing campaign an audience, you have to educate yourself on them. Find out who they are, where they live, where they look for information, and where they shop. Investigate their buying behaviors and look to see what things are working in capturing sales from that group. Make sure that you are able to write in a style that is on their level and will appeal to them.

Knowing about that audience is great but another thing that you need to have to get that article marketing campaign successful is knowledge about that product/service. You are trying to set yourself up as an authority on the matter. You have to accomplish this in order to when not only their trust but their business. You have to know what you are talking about before they really listen to you.

For your article marketing campaign, use a lot of time and energy to find the right keywords. Find out what gets results and what will get you on page one. Your articles aren't going to be doing any good if the search engines won't notice them. Find the best keywords and plan on using them.

The most important part of your article writing campaign is the writing of the article. Make sure that you have a title that will get picked up by search engines and will catch the readers attention. Make sure that it answers the key questions that your target market is likely to ask. Keep it short, about 300-500 words, making sure that you meet the minimum word requirements for the directories you wish to be published in.

Also make sure that you ask the reader to do what you want them to do. Have a strong call to action and then you will have likely created a successful article marketing campaign.

Cashless Society-Never See One Red Cent

[category ]
[tags ]

There are probably plenty of people today that think the moves that are being made to a cashless society are good ones. They get their paycheck directly deposited into their bank account and then use their debit card to make purchases.

If they have truly set up their own little cashless society they probably pay their bills online as well. They never see one red cent, they never hold a dollar bill in their hands anymore and they do not even have a checkbook either.

Everything they do and buy is with that little plastic card they get from the bank.

I for one still like the idea of having some bills and coins in my pocket, it makes me feel more secure. That may sound silly but I work hard for my money and like to see some of it on occasion.

There is even a more advanced form of being able to make purchases on the rise today as well. Cell phones.

You have most likely seen the commercial of the guy sitting in his chair, then realizing he has to go to the bank he gets up and gets into his hat and coat only to realize once more that all he has to do is take a photo of both sides of his check and send the photo to the bank to make his deposit. Then he removes his hat and coat and sits back down.

I agree that this sounds like a neat idea but then I think, why has he not just set up direct deposit with the company he works for? Maybe this works for third party checks as well but they make the commercial seem like it is his weekly paycheck.

I guess that in this ever growing, ever changing digital world this is called progress.

Then there are all of those restaurant and retail store gift cards and reloadable cash cards, too. Some of the cash cards are not reloadable but the idea is still there. You can usually purchase one of these cards for one of three set denominations from $25 to $100.

They are put out by the two major credit card companies Visa and Mastercard and can be used just about anywhere and for anything. All that is required of the user is to register the card online or by phone to activate it. Much like activating a credit card.

If everyone has the ability to pay for things they want electronically, almost no one would need a credit card. Buying small things on credit could possibly become a thing of the past.

Major purchases like buying a house or a car would still require a person to have a good credit rating but maybe consumers would stop getting themselves in way over their heads if they found it easier to live within their means.

Having instant access to their bank balances and the ability to pay using their cell phone could make the idea of a cashless society a reality sooner than anyone thinks.

The highest converting traffic I've ever seen...

Instant Traffic Generation 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 "Instant Traffic Generation" links.  You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Instant Traffic Generation 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 way--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 Instant Traffic Generation link instead of the original source link you had.  Every time the Instant Traffic Generation 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 Instant Traffic Generation.  So if anyone clicks the Instant Traffic Generation 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 Instant Traffic Generation 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 Instant Traffic Generation (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Instant Traffic Generation 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 Instant Traffic Generation 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.  Instant Traffic Generation 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 Instant Traffic Generation 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 Instant Traffic Generation.  It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises.  Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Plugin Launched to Tap Google’s Ranking via Social Signals

[category products]
[tags social networking,website,makemoneyfromhome,]

Online marketers have commenced leveraging social signals, the newest parameter that search engines like Google and Bing have admitted to using to rank social websites. Social Metrics Pro is one of the plugins that was announced this week.

In order to gain the best leverage out of Google’s recently announced ranking system using social signals, a new plugin known as Social Metrics Pro has been launched. This plugin is compatible with the WordPress platform and is available in a downloadable format.

For the uninitiated, Google announced about a month ago that it has started using feeds from social networking portals to rank the popularity of websites. With the advent of Web 2.0, people have become more actively participating in the working of the Internet rather than merely browsing it. Google feels that the number of comments and shares that website content receives through social networking websites is the right parameter to judge its popularity. Always one to be the pioneer, the Google search engine has used these feeds as the new ranking factors.

Among the social networking platforms that Google has targeted are included Twitter and Facebook. Every tweet made through Twitter and every like through Facebook is now a yardstick along which Google measures the popularity of websites.

Social Metrics Pro helps online entrepreneurs as it gives a true picture of the social popularity of online content. It uses a simple color coding system to illustrate this popularity. Content that is more popular is coded green while the one that needs attention is coded red. With this color coding system, it becomes easier for the marketer to convert the reds to greens, which means they can propel the viability of their content across online social networks.

Currently, Social Metrics Pro is capable of measuring Facebook Likes, Twitter Tweets, Google Plus +1s and several other social signals such as those from StumbleUpon and Digg. The plugin is being developed further so as to be able to measure social signals from other social networks as well.

Daniel Tan, a developer of Social Metrics Pro, says, “With Google’s newest announcement, there has been a lot of activity in the world of search engine optimization. Backlinking has now become passé; and marketers are looking at how to improve the visibility of their content on social networking websites. We purport to make this task easier for the online marketer with Social Metrics Pro.”

Social Metrics Pro has been also launched with a limited time Unlimited Sites Version, where it can be used to assess the performance of an unlimited number of websites with the same software inclusion.

Reflections on the US National Debt. Will we do what it takes to shrink it?

[category current events]
[tags debt,politics,]

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

So, President Obama's bipartisan deficit commission headed by former Wyoming Senator Alan K. Simpson (R) and former Clinton Chief of Staff Erskine B. Bowles (D) has issued its preliminary report.

It is a stark, sobering document. It says, in glaringly specific ways, that we as a nation have blithely spent too much too long, unconcerned like Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Newman: "What me worry/"

Well, we have partied and now wake up to a colossal headache of global proportions. Now what?

President Obama, understanding that Congress needs help with this hot potato,early on in his term issued an Executive Order on the matter. Per this order, a panel of 18 members was created; 12 are members of Congress. Six are private citizens of impeccable pedigree. Fourteen of these commissioners must agree before the panel can send any recommendations to Congress, which they must do shortly.

What the commissioners recommend... so far

The commissioners were given a breath taking charge by the president: either recommend $4 trillion dollars in budget cuts and savings and/or raise that sum in tax revenues. Everything was on the table; nothing was sacrosanct and inviolable. In short, "deal with it, boys and girls, for the good of the nation!"

The commissioners, selected for a gravely serious purpose, took the matter seriously, and have produced a serious document... the more so since others both within the Congress and out continue to play "gotcha politics" on the matter. Not so the commissioners. They set about their vital work with a will that promises to be sadly lacking in a Congress which will ultimately decide on what to do. Here is the heart of what they reported.

Item: deep cuts in domestic and military spending

Item: gradual 15-cents-per-gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax

Item: limiting or eliminating popular tax breaks (including the home mortgage deduction) in return for lower rates.

Item: benefit cuts and an increased retirement age for Social Security.

It is all sensible, logical, necessary and desirable. It is also DOA because only the commissioners have the will to make changes... and they don't have the power to save a penny or increase tax revenues Thus, under the heading "Fools rush in where angels fear to trend", here are my thoughts and recommendations. Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea, take note.

1) We live in supremely selfish times where no one is willing to give up anything. "Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you."

I start from the proposition that making the necessary changes to the budget will arouse the wrath of Americans nationwide, whatever Tea Party budget- balancing tenets they espouse. Everyone entering into this necessary budget shrinking debate should expect two certain things: up front high-blown patriotic rhetoric about sacrifices willingly made ; behind the scenes bare knuckle fighting of the crudest variety to protect the haves... no matter how grossly illogical and piggish their benefits.

2) Tackle Social Security first. It is the easiest to rehabilitate.

It is time someone told the American people, who treat tampering with Social Security as the third rail in politics (touch it and die), the truth. The entitled, immovable age of 65 is the cynical legacy of Europe's most successful politician, Prince Otto von Bismarck. He's the man who engineered the unification of Germany. Looking for a way to undermine the burgeoning late 19th century Socialist movement (very strong in Germany) he asked actuaries to find a number where most men would be dead and only voteless women left. Pensions would begin then. Otto and his conservatives get the credit... but have to pay little! Actuaries said age 65 would do the trick... and so it has remained.

Since Bismarck's day, however, there have been huge improvements in health and longevity, thereby making the number 65 less an "entitlement" than a fantastic gift from the government for many years, to the detriment of succeeding (and rightly concerned) generations who foot the bill.

Note: Congress should bite this bullet early and deep. Whereas the president's commissioners want to raise the age by gradual stages to year 69, instead make the magic number go to 71 for those in reasonable health who can work. It's the right thing.

3) Make each member of the Congress take a pledge to eschew "gotcha politics" on this matter. In our brutally tit for blood-letting tat Congress to say A (like "you voted to slash military spending") immediately fuels the opposition to return (B) a blow of equal or greater intensity (like "you voted to gut all domestic spending programs"). This gets us no where and fuels national rage about "do nothing" congresses.

Members of Congress raise money to clobber each other. That's what they do. They've been doing it since Minute 1 of the new republic. Now some aspiring statesman should, in the name of getting to yes with this budget imbroglio, say "basta!" and ask all members, on both sides of the aisle, to join him and appreciably move towards the solution we must have. Make working together politically attractive and a "must"; do this and the politically pusillanimous who constitute the core of the Congress will rush to embrace it.

4) Urge the president to spend his (admittedly diminished) political capital to solve this problem -- even at the risk of losing a second term.

Americans love big men who focus on big things which benefit the nation in big ways. Let our now wounded president do this and secure a truly significant and majestic legacy.

President Obama could rise to the occasion and say, "The issue of securing a balanced, lean, fair budget and with it the sound future of the nation is so important, I intend to make it my Number 1 priority. It is crucial that America get this benefit, and if it costs me my second term, so be it. It is the right thing to do." (P.S. Not only would this be statesmanship in the grand manner, but this wounded man would sail to a second term and a legacy of substance and real worth.)

5) Explain to America what is at stake. Then sell it to the nation.

John F. Kennedy's father, Joseph Kennedy, was a marketing man. He stayed behind the scenes, raised money and gave sharp, sensible advice. Before the crucial Wisconsin primary in 1960, he told his son Jack that they would sell him "like soap flakes." They did... he romped in the primary.... and got a crucial boost on the road to the presidency.

President Obama et al need to do the same thing now. Hire the best marketing brains on earth... brainstorm every benefit. Then go out and sell it to the nation. This matter of the budget is not the most difficult problem this country has ever faced; it's entirely solvable. What is necessary is to enlighten Americans, enlist their support and show them what to do. Then lock the Congress in a room and tell them to cut deals until the deed is done. And because cutting deals is what they do best, in due course the thing will be done. Then spread the credit, take the White House photographs... and start the next spending spree. For that is the American way
