Title: Get Higher Search Engine Placement With 1-Way Links
Inbound To Your Website!

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
Building the number of links back to your website from other
websites is the most effective way to get higher search engine
placement. Reciprocal links are now discounted by search engines
and don't count as much. The best links to have are one-way
links in, without corresponding links back to that source.
So how do you arrange that? Here is an interesting and
effective new way to get those links, a way you should know
about and consider using. Interested in more inbound links?
Good! Read on...
In Search Engine Optimization (SEO) there are things you can do
on-site and other things you can do off-site to get higher
search engine placement. You need to do both, but the most
important is what you have arranged off-site.
The most important thing you can do, is to get a large number
of one-way inbound links out there for the search engines to
find. You used to do this with reciprocal links (you link to me
and I link to you), but the importance of this type of inbound
link is now heavily discounted by the search engines.
One-way links inbound are the way to go. Also, the relevance of
links now plays an important role. The keywords of the source of
the inbound links should have some relationship to your
keywords. If they are entirely different, then the link from
there will be given low importance.
But links from sites with similar or related keywords will be
deemed much more relevant. You will get more credit and points
for such links. Of course, it's not necessary that all of your
in-bound links are highly relevant. If a significant percentage
are relevant, the rest will help in just pure numbers.
To get higher search engine placement then, how do you find
websites that will link to you without you having to
reciprocate?
One ingenious solution is to use "3-way links". In this setup,
website A will link to website B. Website B will then link to C,
and C will then link to A. When search engines look at each
website they see an inbound link from a site without there being
a reciprocal outbound link going back to that site.
Expand the idea to 300 websites, 100 each in groups A, B and C.
You end up with each website having 100 links in-bound from
sites with which they have no reciprocal links. There is also an
equal number outbound, to different websites for which there is
no other visible connection. Great! It's a win-win-win
situation!
All you need is an organizer-coordinator to set up the rules,
oversee the network, police it and keep everything straight and
in order. There are several setups that supply this type of
service. Since it is a relatively new idea, all of these service
providers are still in various stages of development and
roll-out.
Results to date have been good to spectacular. Some new sites
are on the first page of SERPs for one or more of their keywords
in less than a month. Existing sites that have been stuck on the
second or third page have achieved first page status. Users get
higher search engine placement and come back for more...
Almost any website can benefit. New start-ups that want to get
on the first page of SERPs for their keywords fast, existing
sites that just need the boost of 100-300 new inbound links to
break into the next level to dominate their niches, old sites
that just want to shore up their positions with more links.
Be sure you use a service that bans controversial "trouble"
sites and questionable practices that could cause problems of
"guilt by association". Also, choose one that meters the new
links out slowly. Going from 0 links to 100 overnight sets off
alarm bells as being unnatural and can get your site
"sandboxed".

A better way to solve problems

A better way to solve problems
How much time do you spend in meetings, dealing with
problems and knowing that the solution finally agreed upon
is merely adequate at best? If you find yourself wasting
valuable time in seemingly pointless meetings or find that
the intelligent and experienced people you have brought
together do not deliver the results you expected, then it
is worth considering a different approach. Businesses
depend on meetings to make decisions, solve problems and
share information. Getting the right people in the room is
only the beginning of being able to work together
effectively.
Cocreative problem solving is a facilitated approach to
complex problem solving that guides and supports
participants through the process of integrating facts,
opinions, values, hypotheses and questions into a
collectively inspired solution. It differs from the usual
approach in which problems are fragmented and simplified
through a pseudo-democratic 'group-think' in which only
ideas with consensus agreement go forward. This lacks
creativity and is rarely satisfactory or successful in
providing sustainable solutions to complex or difficult
problems. Can you really deliver on expectations with a
lowest common denominator approach to problem-solving?
Cocreative problem solving facilitates the emergence of
solutions that are not obtainable through logical/cognitive
thinking alone, by bringing into the process insights,
intuition and knowledge that is usually only accessible in
other contexts. The underlying principle is that
participants engaged in the problem solving process have
all the necessary competencies and knowledge to find a
sustainable solution to their problem and all that is
needed is trust and a shift in perspective to allow the
solution to emerge. The role of the facilitator is to
create a mutually supportive environment in which ideas can
be generated and challenged through deepening levels of
questioning and reflection.
Most importantly, cocreated solutions do not lack any of
the traditional goals of efficiency, productivity and
profitability, but will in addition always incorporate
meaning, motivation and values. It is a whole system
process, rather than the left-brained (logical and
analytical) processes we have tended towards since the
industrial revolution and is the result of decades of study
into the behaviours and attributes of knowledge-building
communities.
Cocreative problem solving can be used in any situation in
which a group of people are willing to work together and
can achieve rapid results from new and functionally diverse
teams. It can be exciting, fun, challenging and altogether
more satisfying than the usual process. However, if there
are significant trust issues within the group we would
advise that these are addressed first.

Current Employment Locate: Business Guardian
If you're planning to enter a business venture or screening
an applicant for your company, you have to make sure that
he or she is up for the task. You should find out whether
or not the person is telling the truth to avoid possible
scams and other dishonest activities. Current employment
locate efforts are very useful in providing you with all
the details you need to verify all accounts and determine
the subject's credibility.
At the start, you may have to provide some info about your
target such as name, age and address. With the use of
online search engines, people finders and other Web sites
offering services, you can easily access public records for
a reasonable price. You will be able to categorize facts
and find out more about hundreds of fictitious business
names, records and companies. There are several services
offered for free on the internet but if you want a more
extensive report, you can avail of packages. Each package
may be more extensive depending on what you need.
A current employment locate report may include basic
personal data like current name the person is known as,
address history or all previous residential locations and
areas of work, age or date of birth, aliases, office and
home phone number, names and locations of employers,
colleagues and businesses, business description, occupation
and corresponding occupation, real property ownership,
personal and financial assets and legal suits filed against
or by the individual.
Getting a thorough investigation will render very specific
results like full legal name of the company or business,
corporate owners, partners and officers, physical address
and description of the office or building, state and
federal tax liens, corporate filing information, agent for
service, professional licenses and cellular phone number.
With these kinds of information, you will be possibly find
a pattern on how your subject does business. You may detect
red flags or warning signs in current assets, business
history and lawsuits.
You may also be able to access and view documents to verify
claims by the subject such as doing a social security fraud
scan, marriage record scan, business record scan,
professional license scan, death record scan and many more.
Find out more about the social and financial network of the
individual and check whether or not they can provide a
positive feedback. Some searches can even provide you
details about your subject's estimated annual income. This
is most useful when looking for deadbeat dads or moms,
repossession matters and debtors.
Most packages have a fixed rate but you may have to pay
extra if you want to gain specific information such as
social security number and certificates. Some sites may
charge you for every state you wish to investigate. For
additional fees, you can gain even more data like civil
judgments, bankruptcy cases, the subject's neighbors,
friends and relatives, vessels owned, incarcerations and
criminal background. As for assessment of property, the
search can be made statewide or nationwide.
Rest assured that investigation and searches will be done
without the subject knowing anything. It will be
advantageous especially when trying to catch fiends and
those who intentionally escape legal authorities. Expect
results to arrive within 1 day to 1 week. For comprehensive
reports, partial data may be provided in the first 3 to 4
days and will be completed within a week.

Workers Comp Misclassifications Cost Companies Millions
Article 2 of the 6 part series: The 6 Things Every
Employer Must Know About Workers' Compensation Insurance
The Million Dollar Question
How do you know if your business or organization is being
charged the correct amount for workers compensation
insurance? I'm not talking about whether or not you think
your premium is too high. I'm asking what procedure do you
have in place to confirm that what your business actually
does is properly reflected in your rate classification?
I'm waiting...OK that's what I thought.
Does This Describe Your Company?
When you first went into the widget making business you
realized that if you were going to have employees, you were
going to have to purchase workers compensation insurance.
(If you didn't realize it now would be a good time to read
my previous article). So you called your insurance agent
and said you were about to hire your first employee. Your
agent had always done a great job on your car insurance so
you figured she's probably an expert at workers comp
insurance as well. The agent came out and looked around
your new business. She then consulted her trusty workers
comp rating manual from XYZ insurance company and picked
one of the available 330 classifications approved by the
Pennsylvania Compensation Rating Bureau (PCRB) and assigned
it to your business. The insurance company then charged
you a premium based on your classification and your
payroll. End of story right?
Now It's 10 Years Later
Congratulations! Not only have you remained in business
for 10 years you've really prospered. Now instead of just
one employee, you have 50. And boy has your business
changed. No longer do you just make widgets, you
distribute, install, and service them. In fact, you don't
really manufacture them at all. Five years ago you decided
it was cheaper to outsource the manufacturing part of the
business. Throughout this time your agent checked in with
you and steadily increased your payroll as your number of
employees increased. But she hasn't walked through your
facility in 10 years and doesn't understand that your
business has fundamentally changed. Therefore, you're
still paying your workers comp premiums based on a
manufacturing rate. Think a manufacturing rate might be
higher than a service rate?
Isn't Misclassification Pretty Uncommon?
NO! In fact there are companies out there that do nothing
but audit organizations' workers comp premiums looking for
mistakes. The industry consensus is that anywhere from
60%-75% of all companies have some sort of miscalculation
figured into their premium.
What Could that Mean to My Organization?
Let's assume that the rate for widget manufacturing is $8
for every $100 of payroll. We'll further assume that 40 of
your 50 employees are currently classified as such and as a
group represent $1,200,000 of payroll. Your unadjusted
workers comp premium for this group would be $96,000 per
year. But what if your employees were properly classified
at the lesser widget service rate? For this example we'll
assume the rate to service widgets is $5 for every $100 of
payroll. Well, you just saved yourself $36,000 a year.
Multiply that by the number of years you've been
misclassified and you may break down in tears!
How Can I Prevent This From Happening?
The answer here is twofold: (1) Partner with an insurance
provider who doesn't forget about you as soon as they write
your insurance policies. (2) Make sure that your provider
understands the nuances of workers compensation insurance
and is proactive in monitoring your account. In our
example above, the agent did check-in periodically to
update your company's payroll. But she didn't realize that
the business had changed and that a re-classification was
in order. A costly and unnecessary mistake!
So What Can You Do Now?
Next week I will be publishing a follow up article showing
how you can find out if this has happened to your company
and also how you can recoup some of your money. Until
then, feel free to contact me using the information below.

Business Plan - How to Unlock the Treasure Chest in 5 Easy and Magical Steps
Do you have an income goal in mind that you'd like to
achieve over the next 12 months?
Now, imagine how many products/services you have to sell,
at what price, on a monthly and yearly basis to achieve
your income goal. If you're like most people, at this
point, the waters start to muddy up and your vision of how
you're going to achieve the goal becomes less clear.
By playing the "Show Me the Money Treasure Hunt Game",
you'll break down a large income goal into manageable
chunks. This helps you "get your head around" how you are
actually going to accomplish the goal, making your chances
of succeeding much higher.
Here are the 5 easy and *magical* steps to play the "money"
game:
1. Write down your income goal for the next 12 months.
When formulating your income goal, also think about your
desired lifestyle, financial obligations, as well as how
much money you want to save and invest to build wealth.
As an example to play this game, let's set an income goal
of $125,000.
2. List the products you currently offer for sale, and at
what prices.
Simply make a list. When forecasting the revenue for your
business, you'll want to consider each of the different
products and services you offer, as well as what price you
are selling them. You can play this game if you have 1, 3,
5 or 15 products or streams of income!
For our example, let's imagine you offer 4 products and
services:
* An e-Book for $37
* A multi-part e-Course for $57
* A workbook and CD set for $197
* 1-on-1 coaching services for $350 per hour.
3. Ask yourself, "Can I increase the prices if these
products?"
Playing the money game is a good time to review the prices
of your products and services. You certainly don't want to
be leaving money on the table if your products are as good
or better than competitors', but you are charging much less
money.
Check out your competitors' prices for similar offerings,
and "bump up your prices" a bit (if you can) to increase
your income.
4. Play the money game.
Draw 4 columns on a piece pf paper. Label them, from left
to right:
* Product or Service
* Units to Sell per Month
* Price per Unit
* Annual Product Sales.
List each of your products and prices below the appropriate
headings. Then, simply multiply the number of products you
forecast to sell, times the price of each product, times 12
months. By doing this you "map out" how much you have to
sell of each product to achieve your income goals.
The beauty of this game is you can experiment with
different quantities and prices of products to see what the
result will be on your income; in our example, $125,000.
5. Implement a marketing system
To unlock your treasure chest of gold, playing the "money"
game isn't all you have to do to increase your income.
You'll also have to commit to implementing a marketing
system to generate interest in your products, and boost
traffic to your web site/offline business so those sales
can become achievable.
Playing the money game makes your vision of "how" you are
going to achieve your income goal tangible. It is also a
great tool to measure your progress on a monthly basis
toward reaching your income goal.

The Buck Stops Here
We need a coach to hold us accountable. Who is responsible
for making the choices in my life? I am! Sometimes I'm
listening to a client and I hear about what someone is
"doing to her", and what she's being "forced to do", or how
someone is "making her feel."
I want to be clear. People don't do things to us; people do
things for themselves. People don't set out thinking,
"Today I'm going to make someone miserable. I'm going to
create some distrust, and I think I'll make someone feel
devalued. Yep, that should be a good day's work!"
When things happen to us, we need to think, "It is what it
is." Not like it's good or bad. Not like it's right or
wrong. Just that it is what it is, and how will I respond?
Because I choose how I respond.
That's a little provocative, huh? Well, I'll be bold and
say it again. I choose how I respond. I choose to get
angry. I choose to be offended. I choose to be
disappointed. And I choose to be supportive, generous,
forgiving, understanding. I choose to be happy. Nobody
"makes me feel" anything! I choose it! And I can un-choose
it! (I'm sure that's not a word, but it's exactly what I
mean!)
We make the best choice with the information we have, and
we can make another choice with new information. The danger
zone lies in where we get that information. If it comes
from our internal conversation, the little voice in our
head that tells us wild, imagined stories about how
something is going down, it could be a lie!
So a coach will help me to hear the truth. A coach will ask
me the right questions, and reframe my experience to
something closer to reality, rather than my imagined
experience. A coach will help me get naked with my
responses, and not allow me to hide in my rationalizations.
Do you know how I spell rationalize? "Rational lies."
Because they sound awfully good, but they're totally
self-serving designed to get me off the hook. Thank
goodness for my coach, who won't let me get away with that
stuff!
Talking regularly with a coach helps to keep us on course
with our goals and the work we're doing to self-discover
and transform. This regular contact is essential. It's easy
to get a little bit off track if we're not checking in, by
the time we realize it we can be so far off that it could
take weeks to get back on our path.
I like to describe the journey of coach and client as like
traveling down the garden path.
You could travel down the path on your own. You're not
really sure of the way, and you could take a few wrong
turns and have to retrace your steps, and at times you'll
make choices as to which fork in the road to take, and
ultimately you will arrive at a destination. It may or may
not be the one you expected, but it will definitely be the
one you chose. I call this the Road of Self Discovery.
You could have a coach who tied you up and bundled you off
to your destination, or one that dragged you, kicking and
screaming, into your future. You'd get someplace, and even
if it was your place of choice, the fact that you were
dragged against your will creates resistance to success,
and the chances are you will return to your original state.
Or you could have a coach who guides you down the path
directing, sometimes leading, always supporting. Take two
steps here; watch out for that rock guiding you while you
do all the moving toward your goal.
And this coach is also your biggest fan. "Hey, you can do
it. I believe in you! Keep going!" Being the best you can
be may not be enough, you may need some teaching and
coaching to get you there.
A basketball coach doesn't just tell you what you're doing
right; he also puts you through some drills to work on
skills, and continually goes through the basics. The role
of a business or life coach is to do the same thing -
identify areas for growth and take you through activities
to help you get results. It is with a coach that you are
held accountable and that the buck stops here!

Are you a Worker Bee?
In my business, I am constantly redefining myself, my
services and my products in order to stay ahead of or at
least keep up with the ever changing industry of marketing.
If I don't bring fresh new ideas and material to my clients
and contacts on an ongoing basis, then someone else will.
To stay at the forefront, I spend a significant amount of
my time working "on" my business, not just "in" it. That
means, instead of always consulting with clients, I lock
myself up with my computer and write up my ideas, products,
figure out how to market them, get them on my website or
decide how to offer them to my clients.
I wanted to bring this to your attention this week because
I see hundreds of small business owners and entrepreneurs
each month who are struggling to "get it all done".
You know what I mean.
What I've found is that most entrepreneurs are not taking
the time to work "on" their businesses, only struggle and
stress out "in" it.
These same entrepreneurs are not open to learning new
techniques about marketing, learning new industry
standards, keeping their website and marketing materials
current or even get out and meet new people to build
relationships with to further their business. Or it may be
that they're open to it but they don't see it as a
necessary enough thing to fit into their schedule.
Hopefully this doesn't sound familiar to you. But if it
does....
I'm here to tell you I've seen a large percentage of those
businesses go OUT OF BUSINESS by not focusing on the BIG
PICTURE.
We all know the stats on how many businesses go out of
business these days but with all the great info out there
now (including my own resources - some paid, some FR.EE),
it boggles my mind why they don't do something about this.
Here are some action steps you can take to work more "ON"
your business, easily and immediately:
1. Schedule 1 day each month as "Creative" Day
This day you will do nothing but sit and write down all the
ideas that come to mind about how you can update or
increase your business, who you know that you can work with
on joint ventures, etc.
2. Schedule another day each month as "Implement" Day
This day you will do nothing but put those ideas into
action - updating the text on your websites, writing and
sending out a press release, planning your next workshop
with flyer development, etc.
3. Contact 2-5 other professionals
These are people that you trust and ask them their
perception of your business and ask them for ideas or
feedback on what you could do to update it, freshen it up,
revise it, change it or add to it
There is a pretty good article I recently read on
Entrepreneur.com that might also help with your time
management (this is my biggest challenge as well, you're
not alone). It's "8 Ways to Keep Your Homebased Business
Running Smoothly - If you're well on your way to homebased
business success, these management tips will help you stay
on top of your game." Read the article now.

Are you still true to your Target Market?

Are you still true to your Target Market?
I just referred out a project to a PR person the other day
that could have been $1000's of dollars in my pocket but
you know what? The project wasn't in my scope of the type
of business I wanted anymore.
I used to take on projects like that (up until even this
last February) but now I am much more focused on what and
where I really want to spend my time and who I want to
spend it with.
The client still hired me for a small portion of the
project but with doing what I love to do - give feedback on
their website to maximize that, write a couple follow up
marketing letters to get the word out and to organize and
write an email marketing campaign including working with
some of their power partners.
This is the type of marketing I LOVE TO DO! I've learned
that no matter what the amount of money I could make on a
project, if it isn't something I really want or love to do,
then it will stress me out because I won't want to get it
done.
So why do that to someone (the client) and why do that to
myself?
Just like I wrote in that article a few weeks ago - about
being your true authentic self - I am truly living it and
loving every minute of it.
You can do this too if you just DECIDE TO.
It can be hard if you're struggling for money but I'll tell
you, it's totally worth it if you can bite the bullet for a
little while - the jobs you are meant to have and the
people you are meant to work with will come but YOU MUST
BELIEVE!
Who is your IDEAL TARGET MARKET and WHY?
- Who is the most obvious and most likely person or company
to buy your products or services?
- How can you really narrow it down so that you know
EXACTLY who and what that person/company looks like?
- What are the easiest products or services to sell for you?
- What do you love doing the most?
- How can you structure or reposition your business model
so that you are only servicing the customers you like
working with that will actually pay you and benefit most
from your products or services?
- What changes can you make so that your marketing
materials - your website, brochures, flyers, mailers, email
newsletters and even your business cards - project the
EXACT MESSAGE that will best attract that SPECIFIC TARGET
AUDIENCE and make them take action and buy the products and
services YOU WANT to sell?
Ask yourself these questions and really BE TRUE TO YOUR
TARGET.
I know you will find that you will instantly attract the
kind of clients you WANT and the ones you don't want won't
come around any more. But you must BELIEVE and TAKE ACTION
to make a few mind changes and marketing shifts.

Are your ad dollars working for you or against you?

Are your ad dollars working for you or against you?
Are you spending a ton of money in those darn yellow pages?
Well, in some industries you need to unfortunately - like
businesses that tend to get called in an emergency -
plumbers, electricians, dentists and so on. However, the
majority of us may not need to.
I'm not telling you to go out and cancel all your ads;
however I do recommend that you actually LOOK at the book
(or publication) you want to buy in before you get sold by
the salesperson.
See how many advertisers in your category are in there and
how big they are. If there are 10-15 full page ads and
another 10 half page ads, then this may be a good medium
for you, however you will either need to spend a ton of
money to get in the top 5-10 ads OR you will need to design
your ad so it stands out among the others instead and be
smaller OR just have a listing if you can't compete and use
your money more effectively elsewhere (for yellow pages).
For other newspapers and magazines - make sure to check the
demographics of the publication to make sure first that
they will hit your target market. So many small business
owners DON'T DO THIS.
Then find out the actual number of publications they print
- their circulation, not their readership (that's a fluffed
up number). Then you can compare your options by the cost
per 1000 households in case you have more than one good
option and can only do one.
I can't really tell you which ads to run or where to place
your ad dollars in this email since you all have different
businesses, however instead of looking at all the other ads
to determine what you should put in your ad; you need to
think like your customer and what will attract THEM to your
ad.
Do they care what your name is? NO, so don't put it at the
top of your ad, put it at the bottom with all your contact
info and logo. They will have specific "Hot Buttons" that
they care about and you need to address those in your
heading.
Here are some tips:
- Try reversing your ad if you can't afford color.
- Use big bold headings to grab attention.
- Identifying your customer's Hot Buttons is the key to a
more effective ad. You have 1.5 - 3 seconds to grab
someone's attention in any medium.
Do you know how many different yellow page books there are
that cover your area? There's probably at least 3-4.
Everyone in your area gets them all, which one or more do
you advertise in? The cheapest you say? WRONG.
These rules apply to most print advertising as well as TV
and radio. Of course you need to grab the
reader/viewer/listener' s attention, but don't do it with
your name unless you're McDonald's and it's lunchtime.
How are you doing with your advertising?
Always remember, before you make a media buy to think it
through, don't get pressured, and do some research so you
can make sure to reach your target market, not just get a
good deal. If you don't have a Marketing Plan, then get
one. If you don't have time to do it, then hire someone
who knows what they're talking about and spend your
marketing dollars wisely, not haphazardly.

Anyone Can Sell Anything With The Right ATTITUDE

Anyone Can Sell Anything With The Right ATTITUDE
So many people out there think that selling ability is a
God given gift or talent. This couldn't be further from
the truth. The reality is that ANYONE can sell. Selling is
a learned skill that requires no special gift or abilities.
While at the gas station yesterday a gentleman struck up a
conversation with me. He was admiring my car and asked what
I did for a living. He said that he would do what ever it
takes if it meant he could drive a BMW like mine. I thanked
him for the compliment as I chuckled, then I told him I
was in sales. He proceeded to inquire about how I got
started in sales and what products I sold. I told him that
I started 8 years ago by selling pizza coupons door to
door. His jaw dropped to the floor! He said "No Way
Really?? I could never do that!"
Just 15 seconds earlier he was willing to do anything to
own a car like mine but now, all of a sudden he's freaked
out because I said "Door to Door sales" I asked him why he
felt that way and he said he just couldn't muster up the
courage to approach a stranger and strike up a
conversation. Obviously my response to that was... "Where
have we met again?" He laughed and said "I get your point."
The fact is that we sell ourselves everyday. We talk to
strangers everyday and we influence other peoples decisions
everyday. These things are a part of life but when the
average person contemplates doing it for a living, the fear
of failure sets in. People are inherently afraid of
rejection and failure and that fear usually precludes them
from ever getting ahead in life. It precludes them from
taking risks and starting new endeavors. It sadly keeps
them in a miserable rut and they usually just end up
envying those that took a chance to do something they
themselves weren't even willing to try.
I noticed that the young man was wearing a wedding band on
his finger and I mentioned "I see that you're married..."
He said he's been married for 2 years. I then said "See,
you are a salesman after all, you got her to marry you!"
He laughed in agreement then finished pumping his gas and
waved so long.
Anyone can learn to be an expert sales person if they have
a coach or mentor and put in the time and effort. There is
only one prerequisite.... You Must Have A Good Attitude.
Does that sound corny? It may, but it is a fact! Here's the
deal... I can teach you the 5 steps to a sale, I can teach
you the factors of impulse. I can teach you how to raise
impulse. I can teach you how to close the deal. I can teach
you how to up-sell, how to work a territory correctly and
how to manage a team. I can even tech you how to maintain a
positive attitude when your having a bad day.
But do you want to know the one thing no one can teach you?
It's how to HAVE a positive attitude. Notice I used the
word HAVE. Many people out there have written books on how
you should "fake it to make it" and essentially how you
should "pretend" to be a positive person. I hate to break
it to you but, Attitude Is Not A Light Switch! You can't
just turn it on and off when you please.
To be successful at sales all you need is a positive frame
of mind and an optimistic attitude! "When you fix whats on
the inside... everything on the outside fixes itself." Your
attitude boils down to a simple choice: Do you want to live
a positive life or a negative life? Make the decision and
follow through. Your positivity will be contagious and it
will attract more positive people. These are the people
that will like you, trust you and BUY FROM YOU with just a
simple nudge in the right direction!

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
Internet communication is quite a challenge in today's
information flow. Never the less, its one of the most important
skills to govern if you want to win opinions, sell products or
services, promote and have a successful website. To win this
race you need a communication strategy based on the intention
and goals of your Internet presence. The basic challenges are
fierce competition, information volume and busy net surfers.
Net surfers are in a hurry and the time to communicate to them
is limited. Normally a visitor will leave your website within 5
to 10 seconds if he or she don't find it interesting. So it's
vital to catch the visitors attention and know how to get your
message across. In case you are uncertain of how your website is
doing, check your site stats. If many of your visitors leave
quickly, there could be something wrong with your communication.
Find out which pages the visitors are entering on your website.
Its no use in having a great and catchy front page if the
majority of the visitors are landing on a boring sub page.
You only have one chance to communicate the message to your
Internet visitors. Keep in mind that those visitors, reading
your message don't spend much time to find out what you have to
say. Therefore, say it fast, say it precise and in a way the
website visitors would like to hear. Learn the KISS rule (Keep
It Simple Stupid) and how to address your messages direct and
simple.
There are some basic rules that you should beware of when
you're writing for the Web, ask yourself the following
questions:
What communication style do my visitors prefer and how do I
catch their attention?
Find out what the visitors want to read and then write for
them. Investigate and collect information from sources like
blogs, forums, websites and similar. Don't just write something
for the sake of filling up your web space.
What are my visitors looking for?
Identify and refine the message that you want to promote to
your visitors. Pinpoint your focus, zoom in and communicate it
to your visitors in a language that they can trust and relate
to.
Is the website adapted to the group or market I am targeting?
Evaluate your information sources. Make sure that the
information you're basing your website content on is creditable
and precise. Does the information represent the values that you
wish to communicate? Is the information based on facts, or is it
a personal opinion? Many times the combination of fact and
opinions go hand in hand. Meaning that strong personal or public
opinions have inflated the visitors attitude long before they
arrive at your website.
Consider all aspects and implications of your writing. Make
sure that you end up with an appropriate conclusions that your
readers will more or less agree with. Analyze the costs,
benefits, and consequences of the content that you plan to
publish on your website. Discuss SEO (Search Engine
Optimization) versus targeted communication. The best decision
off course, is to choose a strategy that lead your visitors into
the desired actions.

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
In his popular book , Forex Trading Machine , Avi frister gives
a introduction to the concept of price driven forex trading.
Price Driven Forex Trading is based on the fact Price is King in
forex trading and you are more likely to be profitable trading
currencies by basing your buy/sell decisions on what price is
doing rather than trying to interpret indicators which are
mostly all lagging.
Price Driven Forex Trading is a system comprised of three
different techniques that are designed to increase the
opportunities for the average person to successfully enter the
Forex Trading Market and continually show positive returns. Like
any investment, there is always a risk of loss ... especially
when you are involved in the trading and exchange of foreign
currencies. However, these programs combine to greatly reduce
your investment risks while maximizing your possible returns.
This is a deceptively simple and precise method of Forex
Trading.
The true beauty of Price Driven Forex Trading is that it is
comprised of these three individual programs. As long as you can
follow simple instructions precisely, you should not have any
difficulty in being able to establish yourself as a full-time,
career forex trader. The only information you will have to
follow is the current price of the two currencies you are
exchanging. There is no need to delve deep into the Markets
attempting to understand a vast number of new terms.
The first program is the Cash Cow Method that was devised for
Swing Traders. Again, all of the information that you will need
is the current price of the two currencies. The entire method
will take you mere minutes a week to complete. On your first
day, all you have to do is follow two very simple steps. If and
when the conditions are right, you then move into phase two and
implement your trade.
Reviewing the factors involved in whether or not to initiate
the trade can be accomplished in a few short seconds. Again,
this is not overly complex or detailed trade lingo that you have
to interpret. All you have to look for is the current prices and
verify that everything is in accordance with the first step.
When the conditions are right, your second day involves nothing
more than placing three very simple orders.
The first thing you will have to do is to enter a limit order
so that you can initiate the actual trade. Next, you should
enter a stop-loss order so that you can limit your losses and
the risks that are commonly associated with Forex Trading. The
third entry will be your profit objective. Once that is done,
there really is nothing left for you to do except to wait ...
and watch if you want to.
All three of these factors are based on a single and simple
equation that never changes. The numbers will remain the same in
all instances. While this particular method is better suited, as
we said, for the swing traders, it is a viable long term goal
for Forex Trading. The last two methods of Price Driven Forex
Trading are more suited towards day-traders. Yet they too are
deceptively easy and effective methods of trading in the very

Title: My Ebook Cover Looks Like It's Had Too Much To Drink!

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
We've all seen them. Those ugly little covers that look out of
wack. What once started out as beautiful ebook cover ends up
looking like it had too much to drink. Why? The most common
reason is improper use of html code.
The height and width attributes in your html code are used to
tell the browser exactly what size the image is and how to
display it properly. It works that way with all browsers.
If you're not familiar with html code, these attributes look
like this.
Width="XXX" Height="XXX"
(XXX = the actual height and width of your image in pixels - 1
inch = 72 pixels)
Let say for example your images natural attributes are
width="167" height="237".
Natural attributes means it's the actual size of the image.
By using the images natural attributes in your html code, the
image will display correctly and look like the professional
cover it started out to be.
You'll see the smooth clean lines and natural proportions. The
cover displays as it was intended to look and does a terrific
job of presenting you and your product as the professional you
are.
If only life were always that easy. Unfortunately, we have to
make adjustments when things don't fit.
Lets say you look at your webpage you find that your ebook
cover is the wrong size to fit in that special place you want to
put it. Your first temptation might be to simply alter the
attribute numbers to resize the image.
DON'T!
This type of improper sizing using your html code (changing the
height and width attributes) to make these type of adjustments
only results in distorted images.
Always use the "actual" attributes for your images. Why? Your
image is a representation of your product. It's your online
salesman. You wouldn't let a "human saleman" go out into public
and sell your product if he was under the influence of alcohol.
You don't want your "online salesman" to look like it's had too
much to drink either.
So what do you do when you've come to this road block?
The ideal solution is to plan ahead and not put yourself into
this position. Figure out ahead of time what specific sizes you
will need and order those sizes when your images are designed.
Be sure and tell your designer what you need. Don't assume that
they will automatically know.
If you find that you need a different size later on, the proper
way to resize your image is by using a graphics program or
hiring a cover designer to properly resize it for you. The
designer may charge you a small fee, but it's worth it to look
like a professional.
If you're watching your pennies, most any graphics software
will do the trick. If you don't have any software to do this and
you don't want to spend the money to have a designer resize the
image for you, search for "Free Graphics Software" on Google and
I guarantee you'll find something suitable at little or no cost.

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
Proform exercise bikes do two things extremely well -- help you
develop your cardiovascular fitness and also help build the
muscles in your lower body. Additionally, Proform exercise bikes
come in two models, upright and recumbent. Many people prefer
recumbent bikes these days because they are more comfortable.
Also, recombinant stationary bikes help tone up your butt while
giving your knees a much deserved rest.
Many people like using recumbent Proform exercise bikes because
they find it is easier to watch television when they are working
out. If you're a news junkie, like I am, then you can simply
turn on your favorite news station and get your daily dose while
working out. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone.
Also, Proform exercise bikes are perfect for those who are
overweight. This is because the recumbent bikes have bucket
seats that are designed to be even more comfortable than what
you will find on traditional exercise bikes. These days,
exercise bikes are designed for much more than just giving a
workout -- they also have placed comfort into the equation and
have developed ergonomic models.
Many people say that their favorite type of workout is a
cardiovascular workout. There are a few different types of
exercise equipment that can help you achieve an optimal cardio
workout. Many people point to a Proform exercise bike as their
method of choice for getting that cardio workout.
In college I remember using a Proform exercise bike while
studying for exams and going over my notes. I would simply read
over the necessary material while working out. I found that
working out helps me concentrate for longer periods of time when
I was at rest, and also made me feel better about myself. Since
working out made me more productive, I knew it was a necessity.
But at the same time, I always felt the crunch of having to
study. Again, I was killing two birds with one stone by using an
exercise bike.
Proform exercise bikes come in many models, and some of them
have frictionless magnetic resistance. Frictionless magnetic
resistance is great because it allows you to more accurately
dial in the perfect amount resistance. In the past, you would
have to incrementally increase resistance. What most people
found was that the increments were too large, and so they would
go from having too little resistance to too much. With
frictionless magnetic resistance that is no longer a problem.
Exercise bikes are also perfect because they deliver a no
impact workout. When I talk about no impact, I am referring to
the amount of impact felt by the joints and muscles on your
body. By having no impact on those muscles when working out, you
practically eliminate feeling sore or the possibility of injury
from working out.
Finally, Proform exercise bikes are great because you can use
them even if it's cold outside and there's ice on the ground.
Nor do you have to worry about having a dog chase you or weaving
in and out of traffic.

Are You Finding the Time to Run Your Business?
'Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's
the only time we've got.' Art Buchwald.
Well here we are again and can you believe it's already May
next week! Where is that time going? We'll be half way
through the year before we know it and isn't it rushing
past? Have you achieved your goals so far this year or is
it all just zooming past in a blur and without anything
significant being achieved?
One subject that comes up repeatedly with my clients is
that of time ' or rather the lack of it. Finding the time
to spend developing your business whether you are
pre-launch and at the preparation/research stage; or you're
up and running and fitting it around your children, a full
time job or life in general, can be tricky.
Working from home isn't easy. There's no boss to keep you
on the straight and narrow and there are so many
distractions calling out for your attention ' 'I'll just
load the washing machine', 'the lawn needs mowing'.
Finding the time your business needs and then actually
keeping it can be an uphill struggle.
GOOD NEWS! I've got some tips for you that really work. I
have used them repeatedly and they always get me
concentrating on the project in hand for the time it needs
every week whilst maintaining a healthy work/life balance.
The first thing to do is to decide how many hours each week
you want to spend developing your business. Sounds logical
doesn't it? But so many of us fall into the trap of
working on it as and when we can fit it in, or when we're
in the right mood. That will get you absolutely nowhere
and fast!
It is absolutely essential that you first fix the number of
hours you want to work on developing your business and then
work backwards from there to see how you can fit those
hours in!
The number of hours you plump for will vary according to
the stage your business is at right now. What does your
business really need right now that you can afford to give?
If it's pre-launch and you are researching, studying and
preparing you may decide that 2, 5 or 10 hours a week is
just right. If you're up and running then maybe it's 20,
25 or 30 hours a week.
Always bear in mind that it is essential to maintain a
healthy work/life balance. After all what on Earth is the
point of running your own business if you're going to work
yourself into the ground doing it? So no answers of 60
hours please! When your business is fully fledged what is
your goal for the number of hours you want to be working on
it? Start as you mean to go on.
My aim is to work 25 hours per week on my business. Quite
tricky at the moment with my youngest child at the age of
1, but it can be done. And yes I can do it and still
maintain a great work/life balance.
Now get a piece of paper and turn it sideways into
landscape orientation. Write the 7 days of the week across
the top and divide the page into columns, one column for
each day. We are going to plan each day hour by hour, so
you will position each entry within any given day according
to its time (so if you do something at 1.00 til 2.00 on any
given day write it about half way down the column).
To start your Time Plan first write down at the top of the
page the number of hours you have decided to spend on
developing and working on your business and put a big
circle around it.
Next within each day write down any regular weekly events
which are immovable. These will include things like doing
the school run; being at work if you are developing your
business around a full time job; regular commitments
required by your business (running a course; coaching a
client).
Now write down all other events which have to happen
sometime every week and decide where you are going to put
them. These could be doing the housework or shopping '
anything that is not time spent on your business. Block
out the rough amount of time these events take up.
Now block out some extra time to allow for things which
don't come up every week but which do need to be done every
now and then ' a contingency time if you like where you can
fit in mowing the lawn if it needs it.
Next you need to make sure you block out the right amount
of time for you and your family. Remember that work/life
balance!
When you've thought of everything that you have to spend
time on each week, look at your plan so far. Ask yourself:
* Where can I realistically fit in the hours I want to
work on my business?
* What could I do to fit them in?
* What else could I do?
Again always remember to maintain a healthy work/life
balance! If you cannot do this without exhausting yourself
then re-visit some things on your plan:
* Do all these things really have to be done every week?
* Is there anything I could drop or do fortnightly?
* Are the number of hours I've chosen to work on my
business necessary and are they realistic at this time?
Once you have completed your time plan, pin it up where you
will see it every day ' AND STICK TO IT. Ok if it's not
working then by all means re-visit it and make some
changes, but if it does work then NO EXCUSES!
There is one last thing that is absolutely vital! When you
are in one of your allocated work times ' YOU ARE AT WORK.
Treat that time as sacrosanct. Treat it as if you are
employed and the boss is looking. Make sure you will not
be disturbed by anything or anyone unrelated to your
business. Do not be tempted to think 'I'll just empty the
washing machine' or 'That lawn really does need mowing'.
Everything is accounted for and has its own place in the
Time Plan. YOU ARE AT WORK.
When you follow these guidelines it's amazing how much you
can suddenly get done; it's amazing how much your
motivation to work on your business (yes even those things
you keep putting off) suddenly goes through the roof; it's
amazing how much you move forward!
