Most of these features are free to the user.  The feature I’d like to focus on here is the Subscription feature. This will create an opt-in sign in that allows the user to receive notifications on all your new posts!

This is not to diminish the huge value associated with the Jetpack Plug-in‘s other features.  For example, Site Stats allows you to track the traffic to your website.  The Spelling and Grammer feature will notify you of spelling and grammar mistakes when you attempt to publish your article.  The Short Links feature enables you to create short URL’s for your posts, and the Sharing and Enhanced Distribution features are additional methods that help you generate traffic to your website.  And, you can expect new free features to be added as they become available.

The Subscription feature greatly enhances your interface with your users.  It provides an opt-in for your users to receive a very professional email notification whenever you publish a new post or article.  In turn, this increase your website traffic.

The Jetpack Plugin’s opt-in code is simply placed in a widget on your website.  Therefore, it can be shown on your website wherever your theme allows you to place widgets.  On the site I use here as an example, I have placed the widget into the “Top Feature” of my theme.  If your theme does not have this option, you can simply place your code in a sidebar widget.

Here’s the sizzle!  Many people who visit a website never return.  However, if you can capture their email address you have the ability to bring them back over and over again.  This increases your website traffic and enhances your ranking with the search engines.

The end product produced by the Subscription feature is top-notch and highly professional! I was very pleased and little surprised on how good it looks to the user.

This is a screenshot I took of the article published in Hot Sports Topics.  This is how it actually appeared in my Microsoft Outlook email account.

This is new site I created for my cousin, Mike Pietrzyk.  Mike is now living his dream and writing on sports topics.  He is doing an awesome job.  I host it and provide some SEO sizzle to drive traffic to it.  In time, we will monetize the site.

But, look at some of the really nice components associated with this email.  At the very top, you see the WordPress logo… very professional.  The entire article is actually shown, but I cut off a lot of it to save space in this picture.

It is identical to the actual post on the Hot Sports Topics website.  All the links are active!  They can be clicked and followed in your default browser.

I’ve used some anchor text (“dream come true”) that is linked to a primary keyword string in the actual article.  So, a user can simply click on that anchor text, without going to the actual article, and pass this article some valuable search engine juice!

While it does not provide a social media share button, it does provide a short URL if someone wants to Tweet the article to their Twitter followers.

It also permits the user to go directly to the Comments section of the website, either to simply read other comments or post their own.  Furthermore, if the user wants to opt-out of their subscription, they can easily do so by clicking on the Manage Subscription link.

WordPress developers have outdone themselves with this fantastic plug-in!  I highly recommend the Jetpack Plug-in for WordPress! …best of all, and characteristic of WordPress, it’s free.

Jetpack Plug-in for WordPress is a post from: How to Build an Internet Home Business

Image via CrunchBase

…tons of people want to build an Internet home business, but few succeed!  It’s all part of that mystery on how to successfully build an Internet home business! Marketing an Internet home business is the trick!

Some people are paying upwards of $16,000 to learn how to build an Internet home business or, at least, generate some additional income.  Why? …because they have a need to generate residual income and they know that their retirement plans and 401K’s just don’t seem as secure as they once were in providing them financial security.

I don’t blame them!  I have roots in the financial services industry and I know these traditional retirement vehicles are not only risky, they are precariously shaky these days. Couple that with employment insecurity, and it’s no wonder they are willing to invest a significant amount of savings toward learning to generate a second or even third income.

But, you don’t have to make that type of investment to generate income!  I’ve been telling you about an opportunity that I firmly believe in!  This is not a get rich scheme!  Sure, you can fail, but if you have a determined desire to just follow through and work this opportunity to promote your business, I am confident you will succeed.

This is a solid opportunity to generate a residual income.  This product is about to launch!  I’d like to see you get in before it does, and to join my team! Once it launches, I’ll be spending most of my time helping my team develop their business and their teams… so I won’t be looking for new members!

So, let me tell you why I highly rate this opportunity!  There are two very powerful components in successfully building and marketing an Internet home business today.  One is video and the other is Facebook. The operative term here is marketing!  You can have the greatest product in the world! But, if you can’t market that product, you are not going to succeed!

The most successful marketers in this business use video.  Video captures attention, lends tremendous and immediate credibility and is highly effective!  Live video via webinars is the best form… yet a lot of people are a bit hesitant or lack the know how or possess the skills to conduct a live webinar. The program I’m recommending provides training that allows you to capture these skills.

Yet, this program enables you to do much, much more!  You can market virtually any business via recorded videos as well!  Most business opportunities have videos that describe their business. And, most internet business opportunites have prerecorded videos on products.  So, how do you market these videos to build your own business?

Facebook!!!  Facebook has over 800 million subscribers!  But, Facebook never had a application that enabled you to conduct live webinars or show prerecorded product videos before Viral Webcaster!

And, Viral Webcaster is the opportunity that is about to launch on Monday, January 23 @ 12 PM (Eastern Standard Time).  This is an internet marketers dream come true!  Sure, you may have to learn a little more about it to apply it to your business, but that’s part of the building process.

You can simply code yourself to my team by following this link: http://timelynews.org/vw2, This will redirect you to a Facebook page.  Just Like the page and allow permissions to this application and you will be coded to my team! That’s it!  I will continue to provide you updates and training.  No investment is necessary!  If and when you do officially join, you’ll be amazed at how low the investment is! You have my personal guarantee on that!

I hope you provide me the opportunity to help you find a low-cost solution to marketing virtually any business you might be interested or involved in!  Give me the chance to help you succeed!

Marketing is Key to Building an Internet Home Business is a post from: How to Build an Internet Home Business

I have been closely monitoring the development of a brand new Facebook application, called Viral Webcaster.  A major benefit of Viral Webcaster is that it enables Facebook FanPage users to broadcast live video webinars right on their FanPage.  Another benefit is that it provides the unique capability to broadcast pre-recorded videos.  Imagine the potential!  If you are Network Marketer or Internet Marketer, you simply set up your product video on your opportunity for viewing on your FanPage.  This is a huge, new development in Social Media Marketing!

Image via Wikipedia

If you don’t know how to build a FanPage for “your opportunity” just let me know!  It’s really easy, and I can show you how to easily make it look very professional! For a quick overview, you can check out this Facebook FanPage Guide.

HINT…HINT… write this down and don’t forget it!!!  If 10 people “Like” your FanPage, you have 10 people on a list.  If you have 100 people that “Like” your FanPage, you have 100 people on a list!

The really cool thing about Viral Webcaster is this.  In order for someone to participate in your webinar, or pre-recorded video they must “Like” your FanPage.

Facebook  has emerged as a major tool in Network and Internet Marketing! Video and Web Conferencing is another huge tool!   Viral Webcaster combines the two.

 The BENEFIT to you is that Viral Webcaster is brand new!

My business invitation to you is simple!  This won’t launch until 23 January 2011.  This is an opportunity to get into this business early! Simply go to this page, watch the short demo video and determine for yourself if this is something you can jump on to help you build your business:

New Explosion in Social Media Marketing on Facebook! is a post from: How to Build an Internet Home Business

First and foremost, this was an amazing presentation!  I began to see the true value of this application almost immediately.  After all, I do have an understanding of the viral sharing nature of Facebook.  And, this application takes full advantage of what Facebook has to offer.

While it is not shown on the above screenshot, anyone attending this live presentation had to first hit that now famous “Like” button.  They don’t have to pay admission to the webinar, but they do have to share their invitation.  When they do so, they share their invitation with all their Facebook friends, enabling their friends to also join the webinar.  It’s like sharing a free ticket to a great movie, but in this case the ticket is free.  The last time I checked, the average Facebook user has 130 friends.

Four, very important social media buttons are displayed across the top of the screenshot.  Two of these buttons are external to Facebook.  They can share an invitation via Twitter or the new Google Plus social media sharing function.  Plus, anytime they make a comment on the webinar this too can be shared with all their friends!

Viral Webcaster’s Viral Facebook Elements is a post from: How to Build an Internet Home Business

Here is a screenshot of from a webconference that I attended:

The web conferencing biggies haven’t tried to tackle this, but an emerging web conferencing company… GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities) has combined with Tissa Godavitarne (the “non-Guru” of affiliate marketing) on a new joint venture that could turn the web conferencing industry upside down.  Why? Because this is the first web conferencing service that combines the viral sharing capability of Facebook with web conferencing!  And, from I’ve seen the product is at such a low price point that larger, more established companies like Go to Meeting and Webex would find it hard to compete.

In my humble opinion, I would compare this partnership to  something akin to how Go Daddy and Netflix established their markets.  Both companies followed the same basic business model… produce a superior product and price it under $10/per month.  In other words, make it affordable to virtually everyone.  A major difference between this Viral Webcaster & GVO product  and Go Daddy and Netflix is in their marketing strategy.   Viral Webcaster is marketed solely through network marketing marketing as a direct sales product.

This is why I am telling my readers about it!  You won’t see expensive Super Bowl or other commercials on this product.  This will only be offered by network and Internet marketers!
