All You Are Missing Is A Good Idea

Keep plugged in to your possible future, it is hope that will keep you on course. Right now it would seem to me that all you are missing is a good idea. I would encourage you to sit down in a quiet place, then think about some things that make you happy, when you “feel good” then begin to think “if I could do something that would make me feel good and make great money doing, what would it be?” Allow every idea to flow, when one comes into your mind that feels good and seems to stick, no matter what it is, know that it is possible for you to materialize that.

Next, be in a place where you are “grateful in advance” for the things that you are “in the process of attaining”. You see my friend, you get what you focus on and if you focus on what you don’t want, like having lost one job and “failed since” this will continue to happen to you until you begin to focus on what you would truly like to have.

I would encourage you to write down your “Ultimate Day” this would be the best day of your life yet to come, be detailed and know that you can be, do and have anything that you want. Allow yourself to experience in your mind having attained this, live in the moment. If you choose to focus on your ultimate day, each morning and night, then your subconscious mind will go to work to make your ultimate day materialize. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is not, it only goes by the feelings that you keep presenting thinking that you want more of that, good or bad.

What does all this have to do with effective marketing?

If right now you are in a mindset that is contrary to what you want to have in life and you place ads that you do not believe will lead you to what is possible, then you will continue to produce a result that is not what you truly desire.

Often times all you are missing is a good idea, well you are presented with one in this writing. Get in the right mindset and your life will produce the great things that you know you deserve to receive.

How To Increase Your Blog Traffic - Claim Your Blog

There are a number of ways to validate or "claim" your blog.

One method I use is http://Technorati.com.

They will have you join their site, enter in your Blog URL and then go through the process of "claiming your blog".

I have used the second option they offer for proving you are the owner of the Blog as a demonstration in this Blog Entry.

All I had to do is highlight the html code, copy it, then paste it into the "Edit HTML" section of my Blog, Publish the entry and I am done.

This will assist you in getting your blog ranked higher.

The Link will look like this:

How To Become An Expert Ezine Article Author

The Effective Marketing 101 Training Series

If you want to know how to become an Expert Ezine Article Author, there are some very basic things that you want to do, to ensure you get great exposure and we are going to cover most of them in a very general but complete way.

Much like a Blog, you want to cover topics that you know and consider yourself an expert on, only with Ezine Articles, they can be much longer, make your article between 500-1000 words.

The title of your Ezine will make up the URL, so pick your Title knowing that the Keywords and/or Keyphrases are often sought after for your given subject. That being said, you do not want the top Keywords/phrases, rather the ones picked second or third down the list in popularity in the effort to deal with less competition.

When you are creating your Ezine Article, you will be given an opportunity to separately enter in Keywords/phrases, so you can create your article and use Keywords and/or Keyphrases that are related to, but not included in your article.

It is important to know that an Ezine Article is not to be a blatant plug for your business, product, or service; you are to demonstrate your expertise on the topic at hand. There is an opportunity for you to talk about yourself in the "third person" in the "Author's Bio Section" and if someone received value from the information that you provided, they may visit your website to obtain additional insight and information from you.

Pick your Category carefully; be sure to place your article in the category your subject is written on, or your article will either be rejected or just not viewed very often.

Be specific, but general at the same time. I once wrote an article that got republished in a competitors newsletter, receiving full authors credit because it was good information for their people and yes, some of their people came to work with me because I am the expert.

So you see, there is quite a bit of a difference between a Blog and an Ezine Article, but both will prove to be great tools to promote your business.

If you want to see some examples of Ezine Articles, feel free to visit and read some of my articles at http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Greg_Nicholls.

Learn How To Use A Blog To Market Your Business

The Effective Marketing 101 Training Series

You can use a Blog to market your business and get high ranking on all the top search engines if you know what to do; you are in luck, we will show you a few of the top things you can do to get yourself on the first few pages in days.

The reason that Blog pages do so well in the search rankings on the Internet, is that the information is typically up-to-date, the writer usually is intimate with their topics, the readers tend to “stick” to the pages, as the topic matter is relevant to their search and so on.

The way you can use this to your advantage in your business is to make sure that you write on subject matter that is relevant to your business; my business is all about marketing the company that I work with and the products that I represent.

For example, I could simply suggest that you click on the Banner Ad (I will talk more about Banner Advertising in future communications) at the bottom of this Blog page (if you do not know what one is, quickly scroll down and check it out) to see a bit more of the type of business that I market; the company I represent is awesome and the product is second to none. I could also direct you to visit my Personal and Professional Coaching website’s Blog series called the “Coached To Success Blog” that is listed as a feed at the bottom of this Blog.

See how easy it is?

You see, Blogs are an awesome tool for you to continually communicate your message and if the information is useful and the people reading it are receiving a benefit from them, they will continue to return to your Blog, they could even decide to subscribe to an RSS Feed (Really Simple Syndication) of your Blog, basically get updated as soon as you publish new information.
So your Blog continues to receive high ranking and frequent repeat visitors, publish a new writing about twice per week, no more than once every five days, every day or two is best, but you want to keep it manageable.

Write your keywords/key phrases in the title, the first paragraph and the last paragraph, as the search engines will look there when indexing your Blog. I put them in bold Italics to make them easy to spot.

Lastly, keep it to 500 words or less (this Blog is 483 words); you want your Blog to be interesting, but also to the point.

I hope this Blog has shown you how to use a Blog to market your business but really, this is just the tip of the iceberg; now go to the top of this Blog, fill in the form and get access to my eBook and Streaming Audio for the real meat and potatoes.

PS - PS notes are good to put into your Blog too, they can re-emphasize a request, or suggestion that you made in your Blog, as a "call to action". Like I suggested for you to go to the top of this Blog, fill in the form and get access to my eBook and Streaming Audio for the real meat and potatoes. Now you are starting to get it.

PPS - Blogs are free and they work!

You Can Get Paid To Market Your Business

The Effective Marketing 101 Training Series

The first thing that I want to point out to you is that you can get paid to market your business and in this blog, we are going to cover a couple very basic ways to do this.

One way is AdSense (see the example to the left of this blog near the top, just below the Big Green Button) is one way to get paid for marketing and advertising, you have probably seen AdSense ads all over the place. What they are are content related ads that people pay to advertise for, the ad on the left side of this blog is a demonstration of what an AdSense Ad looks like. If you want to get signed up with AdSense, click on that Big Green Button on the top left of this Blog page and Google will begin to send you money when people click on the ads you post on your websites, blogs, etc.

Since Google makes money when people click on the ads, they tend to give greater ranking to sites that have AdSense placed on their web pages, over sites that do not. So go to the Big Green Button on the top left of this Blog page and get Google AdSense.

Another way to get paid for stuff while you market your site, is to be a referal for products you would recommend that people buy, like books and DVD's; items that are relevant to what you are discussing on your website.

For example, Amazon has a referral program and will allow you to setup a "Book Store" where people can go to buy the books you recommend and you get paid a small percentage. Here is their link so you can get your book store up and running: http://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join. You can see some of the individual links to books on the left side of this blog too. Feel free to buy them :)

There are many other affiliate programs out there, these are just a couple that I use that assist people in developing their business while keeping their costs down.

To learn more about how you can get paid to market your business and to get a full list of links to amazing affiliate programs that will pay to to market them while assisting those you are marketing to, fill out the form at the top of this Blog and get my eBook and Streaming Audio on this topic.
