Want to know about where I get my traffic from? Read On!

I apologize to all my readers since I've been out for quite some time now.  I have bee doing a lot of research to find out different ways to bring traffic into my blog.  What I find out is that there are two ways to do it! You or ether pay for it of work for it.  To pay for traffic you have the old Google AdWord.  However, I have not worked with Google AdWord before  and I don't intent to do it so far.  So I don't know how good this program is.  Nevertheless, I do have work with BidVertiser. This is a very good company. This company has a unique new feature that is call On-Site-Bid Per Click.

Bidvertiser On-Site Bid Per Click offers website owners with the ability to sell their ad space, automatically, to the highest bidder, on a price-per-click basis, where the price is mostly effected by the quality and popularity of their website and the good thing about it is that it is FREE to join.  In here you can sell your services as a publisher as well as by their services as an advertiser.

Another good company I found for those who are interested in becoming publishers or advertisers is AdBrite. This company has some unique features as well.  The have in-text, a page emended into your website that can allow others to advertise in your page.  And the greatest of all they have another feature that can allow your jpg. and gif. format to advertise into your pictures.  You should check it out.

To me those are the most use full pay-per-click programs I have encounter. Know lets go to the good stuff. How I have managed to bring masses of traffic for FREE into my web site.  There are a couple of ways to do it.

First of all you can join a social network. Nevertheless, when joining a social network. I will strongly suggest not to join a social net work that does not pay you for your time writing.  Join a network that do pay you for your time writing.  I will tell you the truth though, they will never pay you enough. The most that they can pay you is a couple of cents per posting.  However cents are better than nothing at all. 

The way you build your money capabilities here is by referrals the more people you invite and participate the more money you get.  An other way to earn money in this types of social network is that if you have website that you want to promote you can do so as well.  When you do join this types of social networks be sure you read an understand all the policies that they provide so you know how to participate and earn money.  Some of this net works are Helium, RCFind Info Page, MyLot and Money Fanclub.

And other way to bring up traffic to your network is by joining traffic exchange services. there are two types of traffic exchanges. you have the ones that you manually click to earn credits and you have the autohits for your credits.  Both can bring you lots of hits to your pages. However, beware that those are only hits people can view your website but that does not mean that they are visiting your page.

To explain better how the traffic exchanges works, let me start by saying that most of them are FREE to join.  After you join they offer you to upgrade your account so they can give you more traffic. To tell you the truth I have never signed up for an upgrade in any of them.  What I do is that I signed up for FREE to as many as a can and then I can have exposure to my website through different types of venues.  I set of what is called a splash page and advertise my splash page into the traffic exchanges.  My splash page will have some type of adtracking  program as well as my conversion page.  That way I know how many people are viewing my splage page and how many peoples are visiting my conversion page.

Here are some of the best autohits websites I've found very useful:

AutoHits, MagicSurf, e-autohits, autohits.info, 126hits.com

Here are some of the best manual-clicks-for-hits websites, I've found very useful:

Vital Viral, Hitsafari, WebBizInsider, TrafficG, Instantbuzz, I Love Hits, TS25, Traffic Splash, easyhits4u, TrafficPods, TrafficSwat, Fast Easy Traffic, CashClicking, DragonSurf, LinkCrews.com, TopSurffer.

What ever system you use to bring traffic to your website.  I will suggest that you should read their policies and stick to it.  I believe that if you get in to at least two or three of this websites I guarantee that you will received tremendous amount of hits to your site and lots of visitors with that.  Remember what you looking for is to expose your site to a lot of different eyes.

How to Research Your Market for Business Startup

 

Starting a business is a little like buying a car: You need to do some research before taking the plunge. First, figure out if there's demand for your product or service. Do a competitive analysis. Find a place to set up shop. And create a plan to differentiate your offering.

Doing your due diligence can mean the difference between success and failure, and it doesn’t have to cost a penny. Networking, online research, informal focus groups and other do-it-yourself methods can often do the trick.

Marketing, business - How to Create a Marketing Plan

 

Firms that are successful in marketing invariably start with a marketing plan. Large companies have plans with hundreds of pages; small companies can get by with a half-dozen sheets. Put your marketing plan in a three-ring binder. Refer to it at least quarterly, but better yet monthly. Leave a tab for putting in monthly reports on sales/manufacturing; this will allow you to track performance as you follow the plan.

The plan should cover one year. For small companies, this is often the best way to think about marketing. Things change, people leave, markets evolve, customers come and go. Later on we suggest creating a section of your plan that addresses the medium-term future--two to four years down the road. But the bulk of your plan should focus on the coming year.

Business mentality logical and systematic or mental and spiritual

New research from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that around 80% of the business that start today don’t last for a year, and that most failures of American startups will occur in the first two years of their existence. After that the rate of business failure will slow down greatly!

As you can see those are not so-very-good chances for success starting a business. The business plan itself is a lengthy and overwhelming document that is required for the business to succeed. Most of the business failures are due to the lack of knowledge, or proper planning. Most people that want to start a business come with an expectation mentality. They think that just because they are in business people will come straight out of nowhere and buy their products or services. Only to realized, when they spent all their capital that things did not go the way they thought.

My advice for everyone when planning to start a business is the following; “Don’t expect to get paid ever, in business. There is no payday if there are no sales! People have to understand that if an organization has no sales for their product or services, it has no business. The organization can be called something else except a business.

With that said, one needs to understand that one is selling to other people. The people that one will be selling to are clients, but they’re still people. One needs to be mentally, logically, spiritually, and systematically prepare for them.

In a presentation, Stephen Covey said; we are not human having a spiritual experience we are spirits having a human experience. One has to carry a great will power to venture into any type of business. Nevertheless, one also has to know one’s product or service. It takes a great amount of discipline to continue with ones business. Systematically and logical thinking is necessary to come up with a good strategy. However, what goods is a strategy if one does not have the heart, spirit, and positive mental attitude to undergo hard times in business; especially when one is starting out a new venture!

Interviewing the Neighborhood

I started interviewing people close to me at school and in my neighborhood about what it takes to have your own business or at least to be dependent on your own marketing and selling skills to survive and make a living.

What I learn was that there is a lot of attitude involved. Positive attitude I should say!  The first person I interviewed was an accountant.  I asked him, how did he made the leap of faith? You know, how was the transition between working for some one, than working for themselves?  He told me that it was a big deal.  He wanted to start by the beginning of the tax season of 2005; however, circumstances during that time complicated his plans and he was unable to start during that year.

He has received the first raft of working on his own. He didn't even had the opportunity to start during that year!  It was not until the next year's tax season 2006 that he was able to start his accounting business.  Nevertheless, I asked him what was the way he started, how he gave that leap of faith.  Did he left the job and started looking for clients or what did he do?

He told me that he started looking for clients while he was working.  He build up a client-base big enough to pay for his personal expenses and his business expenses, only then he left the job.

The other person I interview was a merchant,who sells coffee in New York city.  He told that the way he sells his coffee is that he has to learn real good his rout.  Then if he finds out a new convenient store in his area he would go inside the store and speak with the manager of the store giving away the benefits of getting his product and then he would asked for the opportunity to supply the store with coffee.  This is a very simple, but effective way to produce an account.

10 Tips To Make Your Website Visitors Come Back For More

 

1. Make it easy for visitors to bookmark your website. Place 'Bookmark this site' and 'Bookmark this page' buttons on each page of your site. Here is a piece of script that makes it easy to do it: http://www.hypergurl.com/bookmark.html.


2. But we are in the Web 2.0 era, so apart from buttons to bookmark your site in their browser, you should also add buttons so that people can bookmar your site in their favorite social bookmarking website. These buttons are often called chicklets. You can get some chicklets here for your blog: http://3spots.blogspot.com/2006/02/30-social-bookmarks-add-to-footer.html, or you can use this site: http://www.addthis.com/ to get one button covering multiple bookmarking sites.


3. Speaking of buttons, a third type of button that you should have is an RSS feed button. This can be a simple RSS button for people to add to their sites, or a MyYahoo RSS feed button so that people can add your site to their MyYahoo pages. In order to add these types of buttons to your site, your site needs to be able to generate an RSS feed. The simplest to achieve this is to add a blogging component to your site, since most blogging tools such as Wordpress already has RSS feeds built in.


4. This brings us to the next, and probably the most important tip - adding new content to your website. Adding regular content to your website has two advantages: it pulls new visitors who might have your RSS feeds published on their sites, and it also pulls search engines. Search engines love new content and they come back more often to your site if your site is updated often. Updates are easy to do if you have a blog attached to your website, but it is also important to add new content to the regular side of your website. The best type of content to make people stick around is useful information for your visitors such as tips, tutorials, guides and comparisons.

Indispensable Marketing: A new way of getting pay!

The best marketing there is out there is the word of mouth. Nothing can replace it. But to build it takes too much time. Never under estimate its power. One can spend all the money in the world in advertisement; however, if one develop a bad business reputation, one’s business is as good as death.

How can you develop a good word-of-mouth reputation? What I am about to tell at this moment, it will make everyone millions, if they know how to implemented correctly. Success in marketing is based on the following elements:

Meaning what you say & saying what you mean: If one is creating an advertisement it is important to understand that one needs to back it up all the time, with an action.

Always deliver what you promise plus 1% more of your effort: This means that one needs to be constant in its delivery. Constancy creates credibility. Customers will test it all the time. If one does not bring constancy to one’s offers, credibility will be lost quickly. The plus-1% means to deliver 1% little bit more than what you offers. Whenever one is delivering to the customers always remember constancy.

The following are inexpensive types of media advertisements people most likely use:

  • Newspapers
  • Flayers
  • Business cards
  • Websites

If you want a greater variety of inexpensive media advertisements go to MyPowerMall Account and get a free account. They have a great variety of advertising methods for you to use in your business. Another excellent way I recommend to advertise your services or products is by having your own website and writing articles.

Watching The Big Idea Friday Night!

Yesterday I was watching the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, featuring Donald Trump and the topic was Road Map to American Dream. One of the things that were embedded into my mind was when Donny Deutsch asked Mr. Trump: “What was the secret of your success Mr. Trump?” and Mr. Trump said to him: “Three things! Number One, never give up. Number two, love what you do and number three know your product.”

I will try to elaborate a little bit more in those three points for a better understanding. One definitely needs those three elements when starting a new business. Starting from number one: “Never Give Up.”

“Never give up” means get to cope with the present reality and have the courage to change the future. You see every, one of us has strengths and weaknesses. “Never giving up” phrase it’s knowing one’s weaknesses and be able to improve upon them every day. At the same time, “never giving up” is depending on one’s strengths to survive every day. These words of “never give up” might not mean anything to someone who feels secure in a 40-hour job, where there is little financial risk on a day-to-day basis. When that someone knows that he or she will get pay by next payday no matter what he or she does. But it means a lot more to people who every day is out in the market “hustling” for a sale. It’s a whole different world when one is self-employed. When one is walking in faith! Only then the “never giving up” phrase becomes alive and has a new meaning. It is not easy to coupe with rejection when one is out in the market selling. Knowing that one has a 50% chance to sell your service or product to someone that day.

When one is only paid by performance, which means commission only, one tends to appreciate more one’s craft much more than when one has a job. I believe that the “challenge” factor is very important for people to feel better about themselves and there craft.

That takes one to the second element: “Love what you do.”

“Loving what you do” means to have the discipline not just to perform one’s craft all the time, but to enjoy performing one’s craft all the time with out complaints. It is having fun while performing one’s craft all the time during profitable days and not so profitable days.

Last but not list is “Knowing your product.”

“Knowing your product”: means knowing every aspect of your product or service. How does it work? What it does? What are the benefits that it offers and drawbacks it has? What is the best way to market it? Who will be one’s target customer? One should go where the target customer it is most likely to be. Be able to network and create strategic partnership with others in the markets that are close to where one’s market target customer is most likely to be.

Risk Taking

David Knox, a 25-year real estate trainer says: “ He who does not take any risk in life should go out to the morgue and wait!” Well in essence he is right literately, every step one takes is a risk. Learning how to take risk is very essential. One has to realize that that one does not go into business to fail but there is a certain risk one has to take. There is nothing wrong about taking risks as long as one has a well-developed plan behind it. It is true that the bigger the risk the bigger is the reward. However, considered that the liability is as big as the reward. The key is how much liability one is willing to handle.

How you take a calculated risk? Always keep in mind that what you don’t know will hinder you. What you do know and don’t take care of will hinder you as well. What does this means? It means that one constantly needs to be learning. One needs to get organized. Here is a couple of other risk taking ideas that can help you coup with your venture: Risk Taking Ideas!

Here is some of my pep talk, tips of handling risk. Whenever one is deciding to take any course of action, I advice you considered answer the following questions. These questions cannot be measure in a scale. However, it will give one an inside direction of what should one do and where should one go?

1) What is your purpose in life?
§ This question tries to answers what it makes one happy. What does success means to one? Before one makes any decisions in life, one needs to be happy with oneself before taking any course of action. I learn that the hard way. One does not need to answer this question right before making a decision. It is recommended that one answer the question way in advance. Therefore, whenever a decision comes in ones way this question turns out to be just a reminder of what it is that it makes one successful, what it is that it makes one happy in life?

2) What are you going to do?
§ This question tries to answer the course of action. The decision that one intent to take. At this point one has not taken the decision yet. One is just considering courses of action as options. It could be one or many at one time.

3) What do you have and what do you need to have?
§ This question tries to answer or make a list of those ingredients or things that one needs to acquire in order to take that course of action. What skills one already has and what skills one has to acquire? What things one already has that are needed for the course of action and what things one needs to acquire? What is the cost of the things or ingredients that one has and the things or ingredients that one needs to acquire?

4) Does it goes a long with what your purpose in life is?
§ This question tries to align one’s course of action with what one’s purpose in life. This is important because there are a lot of opportunities out in the world. However, not all the opportunities out there will be appropriate for one’s purpose. It is not recommended that ones takes on all the opportunities there are because then one will be starting a vicious cycle. And if one tries to take on an opportunity or a course of action different than what one’s meaning of success is, guess what? One’s chances to be successful or happy with one’s self diminish quickly!

5) How does this help you accomplish your purpose?
§ This question obligates one to really look at the how one is putting this possible course of action in line to build one’s success. If one can put the plan together in writing the possibilities of accomplishing one’s purpose in life increase greatly! Not all the time one will be able put a plan in writing. However, it will help tremendously, if one can always include this questions in the decision making process.

6) What are the advantages and what are the disadvantages?
§ I recommend that one be thorough with this question. This is a decision making tool that can help you enormously. The concept is that if the advantages taking this decision are more than the disadvantages then go for it and vise versa. Nevertheless, try to give each criterion a numbering system to weigh the importance as well. As one goes a long writing the advantages and disadvantages. Give each criterion a number from 1 to 5. The number 1 represents “not so important” and the number 5 represents “very important.” Once one finishes writing down the advantages and the disadvantages and giving it value, add all the number value in both columns. If the number value is more in one column than the other, then one knows if the decision is favorable or not. If the number values is equal in both columns, then count the number of entries to find out which column has more entries to decide which course of action is more favorable. This decision-making is very effective in taking quick decisions. Very rarely one will find one’s self in the dilemma of having the same amount of entries and the same value amount. It is time to go onto the next question and think a little bit beyond this problem.

7) Are you going to hurt someone in the process?
§ This is a yes or no question. One have to realize that every time that one makes a decision one is benefiting someone and hurting someone at the same time. This goes beyond the physical realm into the spiritual realm. I’m going to elaborate more in the future about this topic. However, let me give an example of what I’m trying to say. There is a natural law named Karma, Dictionary.com defines it as “The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.” In other words, “what goes around comes around.” Years ago I decided to go into the military because I wanted to use the experience and discipline I wanted to acquired at the time for my own convenience. Everyone was happy of my decision with the exception of my mom. She was worried about me going into the military! She did not want me to leave home! I did not realize it then, however up until today that I’m out of the military, she still troubled because I’m away. That is just an example, now others would say, “but you have to leave and do your life.” That is definitely right! However, there has been time when I really need her support and I don’t have her around! That is an example of Karma!

8) How many people are you going to hurt in the process?
§ This is a number question. One needs to realize how many people one is going to hurt in the process. Remember every decision that one makes can benefit some and hurt others. So at this point you are trying to realize what number amount, the more people one hurts the more damage one is causing.

9) Who are the people, if there are any?
§ At this stage one is figuring out who is it that one is hurting. When one knows the people that are getting hurt, one tends to give that criterion a lot of weight. Getting to know the people may or may not change ones decision. Once you are done thinking about the people you might hurt, answer the questions 7 through 9 with the people you might benefiting. Ask those question in a positive way. Are you benefiting someone in the process? How many people are you going to benefit in the process? And who are the people you are benefiting, if there is any?

10) Up to what extent will be de damage or the benefit?
§ This questioning will lead one to measure the impact of the decision. In both degree and length in time.

11) What are the consequences that you foresee in the future?
§ This question will help one to think in the consequences. It is recommended to make a list of consequences you can see happening in the future about one’s decision.

12) Are you willing to accept the consequences?
§ Once one have seen the future through the consequences that are most likely to happen then it is decision time. It is time to accept the consequences. In this question helps to debate weather to accept or not the consequences of that decision?

13) Is it worth it?
§ This question is a yes or no question. It takes one back to the past to answer this question. Is it worth it? Is it aligned with my definition of success? Am I willing to live with the consequences, and the benefits?

14) How and why is worth it?
§ Explain how? By explaining how is it worth it, one should be more in peace. If there any trouble in one's mind about the decision that one is making then, it will be wise to go back and re think the situation.

15) What have you decided after all?
§ Last but not least, I’m sure that when one get to this question, one may have readjust so much the decision that one have started with, that it might not be de same. But at least, the decision will be wiser!

These are not set-in-stone guidelines however these questions may help enormously in any decision that requires thorough thinking! You don’t need to answer all of the questions if you don’t want. However, one questions builds upon the next one.

Things One Needs To Take In Consideration

It’s true that, like Robert Kiyosaki says: “You don’t need money to make money what you need is an idea.” You can always come up with anything and if you know how to sale it, people will come up with the income to buy it from you. You can always come up with OPM (i.e. other people’s money). However, one thing is certain cash has to come out of somewhere, and nine times out of ten cash will come out of your efforts. It doesn’t matter if is directly (i.e. coming out of one's pocket) or indirectly (i.e. coming out of other peoples' pockets). Here is why!

The first thing one needs to consider is counseling, unless one have a family member that is willing to provide his or her professional service as a business lawyer, or accountant putting their title and experience on the line. Willingly to give you guidance for free, and accepting the liabilities that one may encounter as a business owner with the government, creditors, suppliers, and employees (if your planning to get some); then I say go right ahead. However, you have to realize that “if you want it you have to go and get it.” Counseling is a very important expense but it will get keep one out of trouble. Before you start buying anything, do yourself a favor go and get some counseling. Pay someone qualify in business law and/or accounting to help you set up the business entity that best fits your needs.

You might say: “Well I don’t need none of that. I because I joined XYZ business they already have all those systems in-place.” I would say: “Smart move” Nowadays, there are some systems like: MyPowerMall that can let you joint for free, as long as you are willing to bring in the people into the business. These types of businesses already are set up in a way that one can benefit from them. Keep in mind though; you are a representative, a sales representative! You are not the president or the CEO of the business. You are valuable because you believe in them, and if you are able to convince a lot of people to join you’ll become more valuable for them, because you are bringing in income for you and for them.

If you decide to go that approach is fine, more power to you. I highly recommend trying other peoples’ business systems first before you start your own business with your own idea. Get train first by them and then decide to venture on your own. Why I recommend that? Simple! Face it, one need to acquire all the time management skills, the accounting skills, the marketing skills, the selling skills, and the planning skills possible before one ventures out on its own. And this people can give most of these skills to you for free. All you need to put in return is a little effort to bring-in people into the system. Let me tell you a little secret, even if one decide to go back to college for a Masters Degree in Business and Administration, you are not going to be able to learn all there is about business. Therefore, your constant education is indispensable. The business concept is changing all the time and if one wants to be in business, one needs to be ready to embrace change constantly.
