Undecided

Most people do not post in a blog because they are undecided on what they should write.

Most people do not make the decision that  may have changed their life for the better, they are not sure if it is the right one…..

I usually hang on to what I am doing way to long even when it is not working, instead of making the decision to move on.

Would I have made a difference if I had voiced my ideas instead of choosing to listen?

How can other people make me angry when I know I made the decision that put me there?

When there is sickness or death, do I cry or stay strong for well and living?

Why is everyone so eager to pass the blame?

If everyone was not looking for the easy way, would there be greed?

Is it my parents fault?

What do I have to give to be in love?

Is wealth counted in money or life? Can it be counted?

Is it right to know hundreds all over the world but not my neighbor?

Are life’s questions ever really answered?

Content Is Your Trump Card

I found someone else that says what I have been trying to get across to marketers for a long time! Here is how Internet marketing center newsletter puts it…..

"Content is your trump card

So, if you and your competitors are all playing the SEO game with your cards face up on the table, how can you ever possibly get the edge on them?

I asked Geoff, and here’s what he said: "Content! You need more content, better content, and fresher content — that’s how you win with the search engines."

All of the optimization tricks we teach you — such as putting your keywords in your title tags, in your content, in your image alt tags — these are common SEO ploys that Google can easily identify. And even though these are all "white hat" strategies that won’t get you penalized, Google doesn’t really want to award website owners with a great ranking just because they know how to rig their sites to rank well with the search engines.

What Google does want is to reward website owners who offer lots of valuable content to their visitors — and the tech wizards at the world’s most powerful search engine are constantly fine-tuning the algorithms to focus more on the depth and quality of a site’s content.

So the way to make sure you give the search engines — and your visitors! — what they’re looking for is to offers lots of free valuable information.

… And the easiest way to do this is to add a blog to your site and update it at least three times a week with information that will benefit your visitors. (And if you can include your top keywords in your blog content, even better!)"

See! All the tricks in the book will get you no where without the content to back them up!

Come a Long Way?

When I first started playing online, I got suckered by some MLM’s and other products. I worked my butt off and basically made a fool of myself by following the instructions the "programs" gave me. They must know what they were doing! They were making money…. Right?

They sure were! Off every sucker just like me!

I was smart though, I am not in the poor house with a backroom full of "wonderful products". Sure I have some inventory, but I still use it, even sell some once in a while and am not still paying monthly for more. 

I now understand a lot more about how things work on the internet.  I have also grown from a shy in the background working person to a leader and CEO of my own online business. Working with other marketers and webmasters, building a network to improve information so you know the correct ways of marketing and do not make a fool of yourself like I did, plus web traffic systems and working on ways to help members benefit from the great MLM products without the MLM stress.

Still a man of few words, but do manage to run online meetings and training sessions with interactive online conferencing software.

Starting like everyone…. with "0" website visitors or traffic. I now own this seo blog network with an Alexa Traffic Rank in the top 255,000 of all websites in the world.That adds up to tens of thousands of hits a day. I am also connected to websites bringing in over a half a million hits daily.

My business, Here Is Yours LLC is earning enough to support itself while constantly growing.

I have tens of thousands of contacts on several targeted and non-targeted lists.

The Internet has brought me a long way baby!

Thank you, friends old and new!

What is Your Time Worth?

I have built up a steady income with my online work. Not a huge Income by any means, but growing faster as my web presence grows.

If you spend all of your time in chat rooms just chatting, you probably aren’t making lots of money. You could be building your network and lists which will work for you in the long run though.

Spending day in and day out surfing the TE’s may get your web site seen but how much are you getting for your time?

Blogging on the free networks takes a lot of work to get seen, but will benefit your wallet in the long run if you are blogging with a plan.

I have owned a domain for a few years now, trying to build traffic and income from it. Over the years since then, I have purchased several other domain names to set up tools to help my members and readers actually make some cash online. With these domains and  a lot of work I have squeezed a regular income out of affiliate products, membership fees, and advertising. Nothing to write home to mother about……

Well, I came across a website the other day that made me feel better. It is called Value My Site. It gathers all the traffic and link info from a few sources and figures what your domain is worth.  You can click the (blue) link above to see for yourself, but as of today, this website is worth $11,022.00!  My other 2 main domains are worth another $15,000.00, so I feel better about all the work I have been putting in!

Can I get that much if I was to sell? Maybe! I have created some pretty steady traffic streams! I have this week off from my mechanics job so I have been cramming a little. We shall see how that works in the next few weeks!

So don’t let the internet get you down! If you have been posting and getting links back to your pages you just might surprise yourself someday soon!
