Begin A Home Based Business

Begin A Home Based Business - GiftJerky.com

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 23:54:00 +0000

When you begin a home based business, it's sometimes helpful to have "something else" to offer your prospects. When I encounter someone that isn't interested in my main business, I like to tell them about my Network Marketing Jerky company. It's inexpensive, only 12 dollars per month, and the product, the jerky, is great. I call the page I have for it - Gift Jerky.

One reason why this sometimes appeals to people: they like the company they are with, but want to add something extra. I don't use this company when I call my leads, at least not as my main business. I usually tell people about this in other ways. I had someone come out and repair my computer this week. As he was getting ready to leave, I gave him a bag of great tasting jerky. He might not ever join the business, but there is a good chance he might start buying jerky from me. That's fine, too.

David Pearson - My Businesses

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:17:00 +0000

I thought I would share what business I'm into.

My main business is Pre-Paid Legal. To find out more about how to protect yourself and your family from identity theft, you can either visit my main Pre-Paid Legal site, or you can visit this site and watch a 17 minute video that explains what we do. If you are a work at home mom, you can visit this site.

I also sell beef jerky on the side. It has a great little 12 dollar business opportunity attached. I've set up my own entry site.

I generate leads for my main business by using the Veretekk Lead Generation System. You can find out more about Veretekk at RoboticLeads.com.

Linking - Begin A Home Based Business

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 02:15:00 +0000

Linking for SEO is important when you begin a home based business. I have one domain that I am currently trying to get to the top of Google for several search terms. The domain is GiftJerky.com. It isn't even a full site, just one page that I have on my PearsonConnection.com site. I forward that domain to it.

I link a couple of Veretekk lead generation systems to it. These systems are made up of web pages that can be totally configured for whatever keyword phrases you want.

Right now, I am in the top 100 sites under these Google searches: Jerky(#61 of 7.95 million), Beef Jerky(#83 of 2.21 million), Turkey Jerky(#29 of 218,000) and Buffalo Jerky(#27 of 82,000).

Considering that this is free advertising, that's not too bad. Plus, I'm climbing. That GiftJerky.com page has two links on it. The first links to the Jerky Sales portion of my Jerky Direct site, the second goes to the business opportunity. Since I cracked the top 100 of those searches, my sales have been climbing and people have been joining my business.

Not bad for free.

My post yesterday was about the passing of Veretekk trainer John Vrouletis. Last night we had an online wake for him at our weekly Veretekk conference. You can find it here. It is episode #19.

Tomorrow I will get back to writing about how to begin a home based business.

Dave.

So Long, John Vrouletis

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 02:20:00 +0000

I created this blog to help people learn how to begin a home based business. For my own business, I generate leads using the Veretekk lead generation system. The best thing about Veretekk is all the great training you get. On Christmas Eve, one of our best trainers, John Vrouletis passed away from colon cancer.

John taught a class about generating leads. This was by far my favorite class and is the one that has helped me the most. I have a podcast, Get Great Leads Today. Back in September, I included one of John's classes in my third podcast. I recently rebroadcast that class. It is episode #18. I you are interested in generating leads for your network marketing business, this is the class to listen to. John new all the tricks. Some of the links from those shows are located in my blog Build A Huge Downline. Well, the links to the traffic exchanges are.

Take care, folks.

Begin A Home Based Business And A Blog!

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:47:00 +0000

When you begin a home based business, especially one primarily based on the internet, it's hard to get your info in front of people at the beginning. Ultimately the best way to get your stuff seen, is with SEO, search engine optimization.

SEO might seem like a long process, but it's well worth it. One way to help get yourself ranked on Google, is to use a blog, like this one. Google search engine spiders love blogs because there is always new content. That is if you post every day. Look, it might seem like a hassle posting everyday, but no matter what you do, the next month is still going to go by. Don't wait 30 days only to wish that you had 30 posts for people to look at.

If you aren't sure what you would blog about, take a look at your business. You could blog about the products. Take a different product every day and write about it. Or write about the benefits of the business.

There are just two things to remember about blogs. Post as often as you can, at leas 3-4 times per week. Everyday is better. 2-3 times per day is best. The second thing to remember, is to always use original content. Don't go copy and paste from any other site. Google can tell, and your site will never get ranked.

SEO Is Important When You Begin A Home Based Business

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 02:49:00 +0000

Today I want to talk SEO. Search engine optimization. More specifically let's talk back links. Links to your website help improve your search engine positioning. This is especially important if the back links are relevant to what your site is about.

Check this out. I searched Google today for the term "mlm lead generation". My site RoboticLeads.com is on page 1 in the 6th position. That is a page that I created to help get people interested in getting a Veretekk lead generation system. I've gotten it onto page 1 using a number of techniques. Press releases, RSS feeds, and I set up the title tag and meta tags correctly. But I think it's the back links that are propelling that site to the top of Google. It's still climbing. I was in 7th place a few days ago.

I create back links for that site using three techniques. The first, is my Veretekk system. My username is RoboticLeads, so that is in all 43 website addresses. All 43 sites are optimized to be about mlm lead generation and they all link back to my RoboticLeads.com page.

The second method of creating links, is classified ad posts. I have my own classified ad site and I've posted about 100 ads, all linking to my site. They are all unique, so there is no duplication of content.

I also create a ton of pages, about 50, all aiming at my site and all linked together. I use my Free Page website to do this and you can too.

Finally, I blast an ad out to about 2 Billion sites across the internet using my Leadsomatic site. Each of these ads has a link to RoboticLeads.com.

I'm getting calls daily from people looking for help with their business. It's working for me, it can work for you.

When you begin a home based business, it's easy to start spending money like crazy. However, there are ways to make your empire seem larger than it is, without spending a ton.

Check out these websites:

Those are all websites of mine. Or rather, those are all domains that I have forwarded to different pages of the same website. PearsonConnection.com is the actual website. The other three are just pages on that site. I picked up domain names for the other three so that I could tell people the name of the page over the phone without having to give a long web address.

45 bucks a year gets me the whole website, plus about 36 dollars for the domains. However, if you take a look at the post that I did about sub-domains, I get 90 sub-domains with each domain that I get. I can use those for a ton of things. So for my 36 dollars, I actually get 364 domains. That's a pretty good value. I can forward those all to various websites for all kinds of search engine optimization.

So, while I have 1 website, it looks like I have 4. I can optimize each of those for a different keyword phrase for the search engines. That's extremely useful. And frugal.

A couple of weeks ago I was talking about what to do when you call your leads. I mentioned that I like to send my prospects to watch a couple of videos on my main business site. Well, I've come up with a new site that I send my prospects to first. If they have any interest, I then send them to my main site.

Here is my new site that I'm going to be sending people to: HomeBizDave.com. I like how short that is because I can give it to someone over the phone without any problems.

I'm going to ask a favor of all of you that subscribe to the feed of this blog. That includes everyone that doesn't subscribe, but just comes by and reads. And if you aren't subscribing, why aren't you?

I want you all to visit that link and watch the video. This includes those of you that have been marketing for years, and those of you that are just about to begin a home based business. The video is about 17 minutes. There is a 4 question questionnaire that comes after the video. Fill out the questionnaire. If you don't want me to call you, let me know in the questionnaire. Then, drop me an email. Let me know what you think, both positive and negative. This is just to help me. I'm not going to market to you. Unless you really like what you see and tell me so in the questionnaire. Here is my email address: DiabeticDave@gmail.com

Here is the link again. You have my thanks in advance.

When you bring someone into your downline, when they are ready to begin a home based business, it's important to get them plugged into whatever training your company has. You want this person to have immediate success, and the best way to do that is through training.

My main business has training, and I like to get people into that as soon as possible. Live training meetings, training calls, whatever you have, get your new recruit into it. The company I use to generate leads for my business, Veretekk, has tons of great, free training that covers much more than just lead generation. It covers search engine optimization ( a class I'll be attending myself tonight, html and even a business writing class.

Training is important, because the person that is new to your business needs to see that what you do is duplicatable, that they can do what you do. Make sure you help them out.

OK, I'm going to take a break from teaching how to begin a home based business today. My main business, Pre-Paid Legal wants to end 2007 with a bang, so we're running a special. For the rest of the month, December of 2007, it will only cost 49 dollars to join Pre-Paid Legal. In January it will move to 99 dollars for 90 days, then it will return to it's normal 249 dollars, which is very reasonable to start a business.

You can check it out at my main PPL site. There are three 5 minute videos, so this will only be a 15 minute time commitment. First, watch the Family Legal Service Plans, followed by Identity Theft Shield. Finally, watch the Business Opportunity video.

If you want to contact me, go ahead.

Begin A Home Based Business - David Pearson - Home Based Business Opportunity

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 00:21:00 +0000

At the start, when you first begin a home based business, you might be a little uncomfortable just calling up your leads and trying to sell them on your business. To be honest, I don't much like doing that. I'm not a very good salesman. I know my companies and I know the products and services. I also know the pay plans well enough to explain them.

However, I like to send the prospect to a website first and then talk to them about the company. That way, they have a better idea about what I'm offering, plus they'll know what questions to ask. That way I just have to answer questions which is easier then selling. I said companies plural in the first paragraph because I have three. I like to have options when I talk to people.

I have a great main business. I belong to Pre-Paid Legal. We offer legal protection for your family which is becoming a necessity with everyone suing each other now days. Plus, we offer Identity Theft protection which everyone needs. When I call my leads and talk to them, I'm looking to present Pre-Paid Legal. I like to send them to the website where they can watch a series of 3 short 5 minute vidoes. All they are looking at is a 15 minute time commitment which doesn't scare them off.

I give people this domain - GoodLegalPlan.com. It's easy to give over the phone. I have just forwarded that domain to my main Pre-Paid Legal website. I tell the people that they should just watch the Family Legal Service Plans video first, followed by the Identity Theft Shield Video. They should finish up with the Business Opportunity video. The links for the videos are in that order, so it's easy for people to figure out what to watch. If they happen to be commercial drivers or insurance or financial professionals, I have links there for them, also.

My secondary business is actually vital to my main business. I use Veretekk to generate leads for my main business. I market this one of two ways. One is simple search engine optimization and positioning. I use another domain - RoboticLeads.com that I've managed to get up on the search engines for a couple of searches. People have been finding this one and are actually calling me for information. That domain is forwarded to a page on my PearsonConnection.com website. It gives a pretty good description of what Veretekk is.

My main affiliate Veretekk site is here. We now have a great little audio file that plays when people go to sign up, explaining how to go about it.

My final company is a fun one. I belong to Jerky Direct. That's my main affiliate site where people can go for information. However, I don't send people directly there. I like to use another of my domains - GiftJerky.com. This is another page on my PearsonConnection.com site. Because some people that I talk to about Jerky Direct are only interested in the great tasting beef jerky and not the sweet little 12 dollar business opportunity, I send them to GiftJerky.com. Here they are presented with two cute little options. There is a picture of a shocked looking cow where you can click to go buy jerky. There is also a piggy bank that will take you to the newly remodeled business opportunity page. That way I don't scare off the retail customers. Not everyone is interested in network marketing. Which is ok, too.

I get a pretty nice check each month from Jerky Direct and I don't even push the company very hard. I occasionally mention it in my blogs, such as this one. I also hand it out when I can. If I have someone come to my house to fix something, I always give them a bag of jerky with a card attached with the name of the website. I occasionally take a couple of bags to work with me and leave them in the break room with some cards paper clipped to the bags.

I you are uncomfortable being the entire presentation, you need to get a site where you can send people. This can be as easy as sending them to your main affiliate site if there is a video they can watch, or you can also send them to a "sizzle call". Most companies have something like this. If your company doesn't, you could get together with your team and get a number where you have a message, and you could split the costs with the team.

If your team isn't helping you build your business, maybe you should join mine.

Begin A Home Based Business * David Pearson * Work At Home Mom

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 02:27:00 +0000

This is the third in a three part series about calling your prospects when you begin a home based business. Today I'm going to talk about my follow-up phone call that I make after I send them to my main website to watch a couple of videos. Remember, when I originally talk to the prospect I ask them when they are going to have a chance to watch the videos, so I get a commitment from them to actually watch them. They know I'm going to be following up.

Before I actually make the follow-up call, I go ahead and call someone from my own upline to make sure they are available for a conference call. I've got a few people I can call. I like them to be ready in case my prospect is interested.

The follow-up phone call goes something like this (I'm going to call the prospect Mike):

"Hi Mike, it's Dave Pearson in Salt Lake City, Utah...Great videos on the website, weren't they?"

I'm going to assume that he watched the videos. He'll let me know if he didn't and if he didn't and doesn't have a great excuse, he's also letting me know he's not interested. I'll try to get a commitment out of him again to watch the videos and I'll call him back again, but I don't have high hopes. That's ok, though, because the type of person that I'm looking for in my business is someone that's actively looking for a business and is willing to check everything out. He's excited to watch the videos.

After Mike responds, I'll ask..."What did you like best about what you saw?"

I listen to Mike, here, and then expand a little on what he said.

"I like that about it too." Then I expand a little bit right here, personalizing it depending on what he said. "I spend so much time on the internet that I really like the Identity Theft Protection." Or..."I really like the flexibility it gives me to make some extra money part time after I get home from my main job. Or..."This was the first time I've ever had a lawyer prepare a will for me, and the fact that it was free was really great."

The prospect has found something he likes about what I'm offering, and I want to reinforce his judgement, but it has to be real. Which it always is because I love the service that I offer, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten involved. I would have joined a different company. You should feel the same way about the company that you've joined, so the reinforcement should be easy.

Now, here is where I like to involve my upline. If we've gotten this far, then the prospect is either interested or not. If he's not, he'll tell me. If he's watched the videos and is still interested, I'll follow up with something like this:

"Hey, Mike, I'd like to three-way in a member of my upline. He's one of the guys that will be helping you build your business. Is that alright with you?"

I like to point out that people will be helping the prospect with his business, he won't be doing it alone. Also, I'm showing him how he will be able to do what I do. He'll be able to replicate my efforts and bring in members of the upline, also.

If he says yes, I then three-way in the upline guy. That's why I gave him a heads up before starting the call. I then just have to introduce the two and basically step aside and let the experienced salesman go to work.

If he says no, he's not really ready to talk to the upline, that's ok, too. I know he's at least a little interested or he would have told me no when I asked about the videos. I then ask him what he has questions about, and respond to those. This is why you need to be an expert on your company. It's more important that you know your company and products or services inside and out, then it is to be a great salesman. Just answer Mike's questions.

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:21:00 +0000

When you begin a home based business, especially a network marketing home based business opportunity, you need to talk to people. One of the most effective ways of reaching people is to generate leads and call them. I use the Veretekk lead generation system to generate prospects for my main business. When a lead is generated I get an email telling me when that person used my system and what page they used. When the lead uses one of my lead generation web pages he is exposed to my name and then begins receiving a series of emails over the next few days that all have my name on them.

When I call my prospects, my main goal is to expose them to my primary business. By paying attention to what they say, I can take the conversation onto one of two paths. I use a script, which keeps me focused. I'm not afraid to veer off of it, but I like to keep it handy so I know where I'm going. Keep in mind that the leads I generate are actually network marketers, so I'm not cold calling someone who doesn't believe in the business. Here is the general form of one of my calls:

I start off by introducing myself. "Hi, this is Dave Pearson in Salt Lake City, Utah, you probably recognize my name from the internet."

I like to pause here and give them a chance to respond. Because my name is on the website they used and the email they received to verify their email address, it's common for them to recognize my name. Even if they don't, in my next sentence I'm informing them of how they should know me.

"You signed up to use my Blastomatic ad blaster today and I just wanted to let you know that there's a real person behind the technology and I have several other online marketing tools that you're more than welcome to use for free."

Here is where I need to pay attention to what they say. If they really liked the tool that they used and seem interested in the other free tools, I'll follow that path. While we're on the phone together I'll get them signed up for a free Veretekk system and talk them through the basics. Here is why this is good for me. The first page they see when they log into the system, is a page mentioning my main business. See, even if we aren't focusing on it, they are still exposed to it. I mention that if they ever upgrade, and they give away free systems to other people, those people would be exposed to their business. Very enticing. I then show them how to get into the training, so that they learn how the system will help them.

However, if I get the feeling that this isn't the time to sign them with Veretekk, I continue on with my script.

"I wanted to ask you a quick question, would that be OK?

They almost always say yes. If not, I thank them and hang up.

"Well, what if I could show you, for real, how to easily add an extra couple thousand dollars to your monthly income, and it wouldn't interfere at all with anything you're doing right now, would that be worth about 10 minutes of your time?"

They say yes or no. No and I'm gone.

"Great, grab a pen & paper - - I need to give you some quick information. Ok, write down this website address: GoodLegalPlan.com. The website has a couple of short videos that you can watch anytime."

"Let me also give you my phone number. My direct line is 1-801-281-0571. I'll also send you this information by email. Whats the best email address to use for you?"

"Ok, let's trade calls later today/tonight (or tomorrow) -- I'll fill in the blanks and answer any questions you might have, not to sell or pressure you, just to answer your questions, OK?

"And when do you think you'll have time to visit the website and watch the videos?"

"Ok, great, I'll talk to you later, then."

And I hang up then. I don't want to get into a big conversation with them. I have more people to call.

Tomorrow I'll cover the follow up call.

Let's talk about what to do with your leads once you get them. Like I talked about in my last post, I prefer to generate my own. It's cheaper, I know where they come from because I generate them myself, and I think they are more open to what I have to offer. If you are interested in learning about the system I use to generate leads, then visit my main site.

Ok, once I have some leads, the best thing to do is sit down, pick up the phone and call them. I don't like to email them because it's just to easy to delete the email. It's what I do with my junk mail I receive. When I started, I was very hesitant to pick up the phone. I'm not into rejection any more then the next guy, but there really isn't any other way to build your network marketing business. I get quite a few phone calls from people that have found my info on the internet, but that's a really slow way to build your organization.

I prefer not to do an entire sales pitch by myself. I like to send the prospect to watch a series of videos. We have a saying: Be the messenger, not the message. My company has given me a great website to use. It's slightly customizable, in that I can choose which topics I want covered there, but not fully customizable for the search engines. So I have to send people there myself. The address of the site is http://prepaidlegal.com/hub/davidpearson. That's a bit long and awkward to give out over the phone, so I bought myself a shorter domain. Because my company offers legal services, I chose one to go with that. It's GoodLegalPlan.com. I forward the domain to my main site.

You have to do the work yourself. Remember: it's your business, nobody's going to work it for you.

Tomorrow I'll talk about what I say when I call my prospects.

Now that you've made the decision to begin a home based business, chosen and studied your company, what do you do? You need to start talking to people. However, I'm not very good at just walking up to somebody I see on the street and talking about my main business. I prefer to call people on the phone.

However, I don't like to just call anybody. I don't like to call people that don't want to hear what I have to say. That's what happens when you buy leads and then try calling them. See, those leads aren't actually people that are interested in network marketing. They are generally just people that have filled out some kind of survey. If it's an online survey, they were probably trying to win something, like an Ipod. There was a little box that they had to check to continue and submit their form that most likely asked if they were interested in home business. These people checked that without even reading it. And became a survey lead.

Now, that lead was then sold to a bunch of people, who promptly called the person that barely remembered filling out the survey. They get unhappy. Also, that lead is sold to several other companies that resell the lead to bunches of people, who all think they are the first person to call this lead. Now the lead gets angry when someone calls. Finally, you come along and pay anywhere from 1 dollar to 4 dollars for that lead. You call, the lead freaks out and tells you where to go and to put them on the do not call list. Not exactly money well spent.

I prefer to generate my own leads. I know where they come from and I know that they are interested in network marketing. I use Veretekk to generate my leads. First off, Veretekk is free to start. You get 22 lead generating websites that include such things as an ad blaster that blasts ads to 12 million classified ad and FFA sites. and a classified ad site that's the oldest and largest free classified ad site on the internet. In other words, I get a bunch of free tools that appeal to network marketers.

You also get 20 free SEO websites that will improve the search engine positioning of your other websites. OK, if you are using the free system, you only can use 10 of those, but that's still pretty good. You also get free training to help you learn how to use your system. Now, this isn't some outdated video. These are classes taught by live, helpful people. You can ask all the questions you want. These are people that are making their living on the internet and are willing to volunteer their time to help others.

Even if you never upgrade, and just keep the free system, you can attend all the classes you want, which not only include lead generation, but also include search engine optimization and HTML, where you learn how to build web sites. You can take these skills and use them to make money on the internet, even if you never upgrade your system.

Now, if your main purpose for the system is to generate leads, great! That's the main purpose of Veretekk. You can keep the free system while you learn how to generate leads. You can keep it free while the leads start to trickle in. You can wait until you have figured out what to do and are generating a steady stream of leads everyday. Once you are ready, it's 42 dollars per month. But hold off on that until you are ready.

I've talked people in my downline out of upgrading. Even though it would be money in my pocket right now, I want these people to totally understand how to generate leads and have a steady stream coming in before they upgrade. That way I know that they'll be happy and stay with it longer.

If you have any questions, feel free to call me at the number below.

Begin A Home Based Business - Home Based Business Opportunity

noreply@blogger.com (David Pearson) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 20:30:00 +0000

Once you choose the company that you want to be part of, you need to become an expert in your company. This is especially important at the beginning, when you begin a home based business. You need to learn your home based business opportunity inside and out.

If you company is a network marketing company like mine is, you might think that you need all kinds of sales skills and techniques to make money. That's not true. It's more important to know your company than it is to be able to close the sale and everything else that goes with sales.

All you need to be able to do is answer questions. If you've chosen a quality company, the info will make the sale.

I like to call my prospects and send them to a site with a video or two on it. Then I call them back and I answer any questions that they might have. All I have to do is know what is on the videos, know my company inside and out, and know the website.

This means that you'll have to do a little homework when you first join your company, but it will be worth it. You need to stay up on any new products or services, and all upgrades to the main website.

Like I said, the most important thing you can do is be able to answer questions. That means you need to become an expert on your company. You aren't selling your company, the company and the products sell themselves. You just need to seem competent. That means becoming an expert.

Start studying!

When you begin a home based business, it's important to choose a good company to represent. There's a lot of scams out there, and you don't want to be associating yourself with those types of businesses. When you talk to people, you want them to believe in both you and your company. Here's what to look for in a good company.

Avoid the "pre-launch" offers. If the company is in pre-launch, nobody is making any money and there isn't any guarantee that anybody will make money.
Choose a company that has been around for awhile. I want to know that the company will be there six months from now. I don't want to become known as the guy that keeps coming around telling people I've got something new. There are a lot of great companies that have been around for years. Mine has been doing business for over 30 years.
Make sure you like the product or service. If it isn't something you're going to use, then you're just wasting your money. Plus, make sure that the product is competitively priced. If the product is overpriced just so you can have a pay plan, the company isn't going to last long.

Look, there are a ton of scams out there, and there are a lot of great companies you can join. Make sure you do your homework before you join.

When you begin a home based business, you need to decide what keywords and keyword phrases are best for you business. Try to use 3 word phrases or longer to help narrow the field of competitors. Home business and leads are great keyword categories because so many people search for them, but there are also millions of websites that you are going to have to beat out for position. If you are trying to get to the top of the Google keyword search for Leads, you are going to have to beat out 276 million sites to get to the first page. A Google search of Home Business brings over 2 BILLION results. Try adding "how to" or "how do I" to your terms to help narrow down the field, plus using things like that is good because that's how people search for stuff.

I use two keyword tools to help me decide if my phrases are getting enough traffic each month to make it worth my while. Wordtracker is a free tool that gives you a daily total of how many times your phrase is being searched for. Good Keywords is a free tool that you download. It gives you the monthly volume.

I received an email asking about Google Adwords. I think when you begin a home based business, you need to keep the costs down. Adwords is a great program, but it can cost quite a bit. Plus, if you aren't generating sales, you aren't making any money.

You see, Adwords is best used for a retail type of situation. If you have a great looking site that entices people to buy your products, than it's not a bad idea. However, in network marketing, our pre-fab self replicating sites are designed to recruit people to join the business, not buy products.

People will join your business because of you, not because of your site or any advertising. It's called network marketing for a reason. We are networking. It's all about relationships. Most people join network marketing companies after they are exposed to it 6 or 7 times. I don't want to be paying to be the 3rd person to show them my site, only to have them go to someone else's site when they are ready to join. Plus, how many of you actually joined your program without talking to the person that was going to be your sponsor?

When you start an SEO campaign and your site begins to climb on Google, sometimes it just disappears. What has happened, is that Google has put it into it's sandbox. Don't let this scare you, especially if you are just beginning a home based business. You'll see it again.

What's happened, is that Google wants to have a real person take a look at your website. It's been crawled by the spiders, but now they want to check it out themselves. They want to make sure everything is on the up and up. Basically, they just want to make sure it isn't some spam site.

Now, it might take a month to six weeks to get out of the sandbox. Nobody really knows for sure. This site disappeared a couple of weeks ago and just barely reappeared. Keep in mind, the site doesn't actually disappear, it just won't show up in the search engines. If someone searches for it by name, they can still find it, and if you tell someone the address, it will still come up.

The important thing to remember, is that your site is still there, and all the work you are doing on it still counts. If it's a blog, keep posting. Keep putting out press releases and e-zine articles. Keep posting to forums and keep submitting it to Google everytime something changes. When the site reappears, all the work you've been doing will matter. Don't take the time off.

When you begin a home based business, money can often be tight. So, free is good. Free advertising is great. Getting your website on page 1 of Google is the best. I have a blog where I write about generating leads for your home business. It's called MLM Lead Generation. Obviously I've optimized it for the keyword phrase - mlm lead generation.

Today I decided to see where I was ranked on Google. I accidentally typed in mlm generation. It turns out that category has over 1.1 million sites competing for a page 1 ranking. I'm on page 1, in spots #'s 5, 6 and 7. It explains all the phone calls I've been getting lately. See, free advertising. SEO works. Click on the screen shot and take a look.

Once you know all the different ways to help your search engine positioning, it really comes down to 2 main keys. First - you always have to be keyword specific. When you begin a home based business, it's important to get your site where people can see it. You have to choose your keywords and phrases correctly and then you have to use them. You have to title your website correctly, you have to title your blog posts correctly, you must use your keywords throughout your site. This doesn't mean that you just keep repeating them over and over, but it does mean that you should use them.

The second key, is to consistantly work at it. Once you have a list of things you should be doing, you need to daily work your way through your list. If you have a blog, post to it every day. Train the search engine spiders to crawl your site. Put out a press release every day for the first two weeks of your site. Make it a goal to put out links every day. 5 links a day is 150 by the end of the month. If you used my Veretekk Free Page site to put out a page with links aiming back at your site every day, that would be 30 web sites aiming at your site at the end of the month. Don't forget to submit each site to Google.

Do a little bit every day, and over time that little bit adds up to a lot. Keep at it.

Along with generating great leads for my main business, I use Veretekk for linking. Each of the 22 lead generation websites and 20 SEO websites are fully customizable. I have a free system with the subdomain - Begin a Home Based Business. I have each page titled with that and have the metatags and content that include it and my name. I also have the RSS feed to this blog piped into each of the 42 websites. That makes each of those 22 sites a site that has something to do with beginning a home based business.

Along with the content, each of the 42 sites links back to this site. That increases the search engine optimization of this site. Nice, huh? Pretty good for a free service. Don't forget, you can learn how to do that in all of the free training with Veretekk. If you would like to check out one of the websites and see how I use it to promote this blog, click here. You can also sign up for a free Veretekk silver system at that site. If you do, make sure your "username" is something that can help one of your websites or fits a keyword or phrase that you are trying to get search engine positioning for.
