Cheat Your Way To Millionaire Status

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:39:00 +0000

I want to talk to you about something key to your overall
success. A topic if understood and used persistently will
surely increase your conversion rate from prospect to sign
up in your business.

If you are to set yourself apart from your competition this
is an extremely easy way to do it.

First you must understand that for the vast majority of your
prospects are highly skeptical about you and your business
and are actively looking for a way to dismiss you as someone
who's just like all those others out there.

They all carry the attitude of "I've tried something like
this before and it didn't work, what's going to make this go
around any different?"

And well you can try to explain why you and your business
are so great, but that's what the average guy does and so
it's not so effective.

There is a better way, and it's actually easier than
spending your time trying to verbally sell your prospect on
you and your business and it's this . . .

Let your successes do the talking for you!

Here's what I mean.

In all that you do be sure to archive proof of what sets you
apart, any small minor success that you've had is potent
weapon you can use and in fact you should be using.

If you have people on your team that you've helped achieve,
ask them to write you a quick note about what they think
about you.

It doesn't matter if you only helped them gain one new
prospect and they're excited about it, it's just as powerful
to that skeptical prospect as someone saying you helped them
make a million dollars.

In fact, it may even be more powerful because your prospect
must first bridge the mental gap between where they are now
to actually doing what you're doing and to be honest if you
flash them a statement saying you helped someone recruit 20
people it may scare your prospects away.

It's to big for them at the outset.

They simple need to see that what you do works and it's easy
to get started and that you're a good person that others are
excited to work with.

And well these little notes your team members pass you are
just what they want and need to see.

Third party validation is a powerful thing. Don't under
estimate it.

Instead, take a couple minutes to ask your team members to
shoot you a note about why they enjoy working with you.

And over the course of time you'll have more than a good
reason for your prospects to join you.

Now don't think that's all you can use.

Use your own success, use your own stats, take screen shots
of what's working for you and use these too.

If you don't have many on your team now, well your own
validation is what's going to be doing the lions share of
the work in showing your prospects what sets you apart from
the other guy that just tries to hype them over the phone.

How To Overcome Your Prospects Skepticism

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 12:58:00 +0000

This may be one of the most important emails that I ever
send to you. If you can understand what I am about to say
you'll understand the true fabric of both the internet and
using the internet to grow your network marketing business.

Understand this . . .

Just as there are two sides to everything, a ying and yang
to say, so are there two sides to your internet business and
many make the mistake by not taking note of this.

There are several things that you can do to generate
targeted traffic to your site and for each and every single
one of them there are about 50 guys with products telling
you and me how to do them the best. That's fine and it's
actually a good sign because it means there truly is more
than one way to skin a cat with any given traffic generation
technique, but unless you realize what you're doing you can
put a great deal of undue stress on yourself.

I don't mean know "what you're doing" in terms of being an
expert in any of this stuff, I mean a goal, a vision of what
your business is going to look like one year from now, and
then 5 and 10 years from now.

Without this you can easily put yourself in a position where
you're doing far too much for little to no appreciable
result and a mind full of mixed emotions and fear.

Quite a few of the people that email me fall into this trap.

(It's not their fault, it just happens to us a people if
we're not aware of what's going on in our mind and let our
emotions lead us.)

Their emails go something like this . . .

"I've been doing xyz and I've generated some traffic,
but no one is buying anything I'm scared, frustrated, and I
think I'm going to quite."

What you think is what in generally happens so when I read
these words I can literally see the little spark that
started their business start to flutter out.

Further . . .

Even putting things like this into writing is the wrong idea
because it creates and transmits the wrong mental vibe for
success, and mostly likely will send you on a downward
spiral towards a negative outlook on your business. And if
you're not positive about your business you're on the way
out.

It's reactionary in nature.Entrepreneurs don't react they
create.

And all this happens because most don't really know what
they are doing. They have a vague idea that they want more
money right now and they've found a business with an
opportunity to fulfill that, but they don't think past it.

This happened to me when I began and it left me open to self
victimization. Anything that promised me money now I bought
and subsequently failed.

Understand this about the internet . . .

There are things that you can do that are quick fixes and
others that will build a foundation so that your business
continues to grow for years to come.

I chose to do the later, after trying the other way.

The strategies and the mental focus differ significantly.

If you think I need to set up a PPC campaign so that I can
get people into my business today because I need money right
now then you'll most likely do the following.

You'll find the quickest and easiest way to put up a vaguely
targeted Google Adwords campaign and just throw it out
there to see what sticks.

Most of the stuff won't. And you'll say I generated some
traffic but nothing is happening.

On the other hand, if you think with a long term perspective
in mind on your business when you approach your marketing,
even with that same exact PPC campaign you'll do things
totally differently.

You'll say I want this campaign to still produce targeted
traffic a year from now and I don't want to have to keep
updating it all the time so let me make sure when I do my
research I do it thoroughly so I won't have to do it again.

It will take longer to do, but the results are much much
better both in the short and long term.

Do you see what I'm saying here?

It's where you focus you mind in your marketing that will
dictate your results.

Think first of what you want and then create your internet
advertising campaign around that, and what you want has to
be more specific than just some targ'eted traffic and some
leads and some people in my business so that I make money
now.

Have a real defined end in mind before the game begins.

And don't think this faulty mindset is something that only
happens to us as marketers. It happens to owners of network
marketing companies that go out of business in just a few
short years and those guys launching product after product
just to see what we will buy.

These people also have a frantic "now now now" frame of
mind.

Think about the type of people and companies you are dealing
with just as much as yourself when doing your marketing.

Stay as far away from those with vaguely defined goals and
visions of what they want no matter if they are your upline
leader, company owner, or the guy you're thinking about
buying an eBook from.

Why?

Well remember how I said I was listening and watching the
leaves blow in the wind?

If you follow the advice of a person whoonly thinks about right
now well then you become just like those leaves. You leave
yourself open to whatever weather blows you're way.

If you plan and set out only to do those things that fit
your plan you root yourself deep into the ground like a
sturdy oak tree that ain't movin.

Finally! 100% Automated Recruiting System Free!

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 00:53:00 +0000

I've found it, it's what we've all been searching for for
years! A 100% automated prospecting and recruiting system
that generates all traffic, follows up with all your leads,
and closes them into your business and it's absolutely free.

All you do is join for free and watch the magic happen. It's
truly amazing!

Yeah right . . .

Yesterday I was asked in a training call if there was a way
to totally automate a marketing system for a network marketing
company. You know, set it and forget it.

A good question, and one that many of us ponder and actively
search for.

But it's something that does not and cannot exist.

Some companies will try to sell you on the idea that their
business is 100% automated. All you do is get in and watch
the magic happen, but don't fall for it or you'll be extremely
disappointed.

Why?

There are three things you should NEVER automate in your
business and any attempt will leave you with empty pockets.

1. Your lead generation - Do NOT outsource your lead
generation. Do NOT let someone generate leads for you at a
cost, it just won't pan out. Lead generation in your
business is the most crucial part of your business and
should never ever be outsourced. You don't ever want to give
another person control over where your leads come from or
how you get them. It will put you at major disadvantage.

2. Your prospecting - How you interact with your prospects
builds the foundation of trust between you and your growing
team. Give this task to another and there is literally
nothing holding your team together except maybe money. But
even in the most ideal of situations money is not
enough to keep your team together and growing.

3. Your training - Don't let someone else train your
recruits, again this process is more than just information
dissemination it's essential to creating the tight knit
relationships that hold your team together. Do NOT let
someone else do this.

It's easy to outsource everything if given the opportunity,
but in your network marketing business it's not going to
ever work in the long run. Sure there maybe some buzz about
some business that does most of the work for you and maybe a
few people that have made a little money without doing
anything, but the odds aren't in your favor no matter how
appealing the offer sounds.

Your marketing system can be automated, but your marketing
cannot.

Remember this and don't fall prey to those who try to give
you a quick and easy solution to growing your business. It's
just not something that's going to pan out.

Just a word to the wise . . .

Guidelines For Business Advertising on MySpace

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 02:24:00 +0000

Several users of MySpace boast about the potential for advertising to be one of the most valuable features of this online community. However, there are a few guidelines to advertising in this community. Above all those who advertise on MySpace run the risk of finding themselves in violation of MySpace’s terms of service and facing the aftermath of these infringements. In addition, certain advertising can appear very unprofessional to potential clients. Finally, those who promote on MySpace may become guilty of spamming. This article will take a look at these three advertising guidelines and provide suggestions for heading off these possible troubles.

Violating the Terms of Service Agreement

One of the most severe problems with advertising is breaking the terms of service laid out by the administrators. This is important because members who are determined to be in violation of these terms of service can have their internet site canceled and may be banned from MySpace. The terms of service should be reviewed cautiously to decide which types of activities, in relation to promoting, are allowed and which activities are disallowed. Special attention ought be paid to the section of the terms of services which specifies member websites are not to be commercial in nature. It might be essential to contact MySpace directly to ask for additional info about this section and what constitutes a commercial internet site.

Unprofessional Actions

Another guideline you need to master is how not to appear unprofessional. Internet websites can be produced very quickly and easily through available templates/webmasters. This may increase some members to become excessively eager to start promoting right away. When this happens the members may be careless in their plan and may produce a website with many mistakes which does not present a professional appearance.

In addition, MySpace is a relaxed community where members often use jargon or abbreviations carelessly. This tactic can also produce an unprofessional appearance which may alienate a lot of prospective clients. Also, members must look at the comments left for them by other members of the community. The individual who keeps up the internet site should understand the comments left for them are believed by others to be a reflection of them. Those members may not think highly of the remarks left on your internet site, are not likely to think highly of you or your business either. For this reason caution should be taken, to maintain control over the comments allowed for for you. This can be done either by not allowing comments at all or by only allowing comments that invite your approval to appear on your website.

Spamming

One of the most dangerous methods when advertise on MySpace is spamming. Before promoting, you should go over their policy on spam to ensure the promoting techniques you are using are not considered to be spam. This is crucial because those who are found guilty of spamming may have their account and website canceled. They may even be black listed from creating a new account in the future.

Also, potential clients are not likely to think highly of a business that they view as allowing spamming methods. These potential clients are likely to buy products and services from other suppliers who they believe run a more honest marketing campaign. Spamming can consequently be a very unaffordable error for business owners.

Small Break

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 14:01:00 +0000

I am back on Monday. To do more personal posts and articles. I took it slow here in the last two weeks to charge the batteries and my life is slowing down a bit as well. To much hockey and to many late nights. The lack of sleep is not good when you are trying to organize your thoughts on a particular subject.

I will be starting up a new topic on the website on blogging. We discuss the benefits and how you can drive targeted traffic to your site. Of course I have a list of topic for some new articles to help you as well.

I have built a backyard rink again this year. It is much bigger then last year. I have to build boards next year to make it bigger and not to allow the water to run every where. Shea and I will skate every day and see if we can make him a better hockey player.

I am off to a Hockey Alberta skills camp today - should be fun. Check back often to the website to see the latest installment about blogging. I am sure you will learn a few new tricks!

"The Ultimate Secret To Maximum . . . ."

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 00:50:00 +0000

Do you want to know the ultimate secret to maximum success

in network marketing?

It's not what you think, but it does tie hand in hand with a
common misconception many many network marketers have about
their business.

What's that misconception?

Most think that you can "Lock in" an income at a certain
level once you get a certain amount of momentum going in
their business.

This is right, but the idea is wrong.

That's a confusing thing to say, but let me explain it to
you . . .

It's right because once you get to a certain level in your
business you can literally create so much leverage that no
matter what you do you will make more moeny than you need.

It's wrong to think that that income is locked in.

It's NOT!

At any point in any business your business is either growing
or it's shrinking, but nothing is in actuality ever locked
in.

When you look at huge success in the industry and outside of
the industry and you examine their level of income what you
see is NOT a steady check.

That won't ever happen in your network marketing business,
rather you will still see month to month fluxuations.

That is, income from month to month changes.

Sometimes that check goes up and sometimes the check goes

down, but once you're making $100,000 or more a month on
average a swing up or down 10% doesn't matter much, you're
expenses are more than covered.

Typically what we see as testimonials on many network
marketing websites are not static results.

That guy that gave a testimonial saying how great an
opportunity his company is along with a picture of his
$50,000 bonus check was on the upswing of things, but over
the course of time if you came back to that guy and asked to
see his check again it may be more or it maybe less, but
it's not that same amount.

On a quick side note: Isn't funny when people present their
opportunity to you that they always talk about how awesome
of an opportunity it is? When the truth is more like, network
marketing itself is an awesome opportunity and NOT that
particular company.

There are many great opportunities in network marketing,
what matters is that you see it in the one you're in and
get to work on helping others see it and take advantage of
it, but NOT just telling prospects how awesome it is. Just a
tangent . . .

Back to the point at hand:

What is important to note about your network marketing
business is NOT that you are working to lock in an income,
but rather that you are working in a situation of unlimited
opportunity.

So if you work hard your income will reach a level that to
those who see your big checks may think you've got it made,
but once you're there you know the truth, which is next
months check may be bigger or it may be smaller and it's up
what YOU do as an individual that determines which direction
that income is going to trend.

It's not locked in though . . .

The ultimate secret to maximum success in your business is
simply this:

Your business is always growing in one direction or the
other.

There never will be a point where your income is "locked in",
so if you don't keep striving for greatness no matter how
great you may already be, you may be seeing your business
grow in the direction you don't want it to.

The job is never done and that's what's so exciting!

Building Your Email List with Articles

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 22:24:00 +0000

You can build up your list merely by writing articles.

Quite simply, you write and submit your articles on your topic of expertise or business nature to top article directories where newsletter publishers and readers are looking for the information you offer.

Leveraging your viral marketing efforts on article writing can be gratifying, if done right. You are actually proving your valuable and exhibiting your expertise about your business by the articles you write.

So, how can this method effectively build your mailing list? The answer: the signature box you attach to your articles. In your signature box (also known as resource box), you include a brief description about yourself and your business internet site together with its URL.

It is strongly advised that your signature box URL links to your mailing list’s landing page where
you can acquire your visitor’s name and email address, which will in turn help you build up your
mailing list at zero cost.

If your articles are worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The fantastic result: viral marketing without exertion on your part!

You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article directories such as
http://www.ezinearticles.com/ and begin your article marketing campaign today.

Building Your List with Paid eZine Advertising

Some Internet Marketers are uninformed when it comes to letting loose the full potential of paid
eZine advertising. One of the most basic dilemmas is whether Internet Marketers should promote their product or service he is selling directly to the subscribers of the eZine he is paying advertising for?

This can be a prudent method, but with ifs and buts. For one, the advertisement must be powerful and attention grabbing. Second, there is no telling if the eZine’s subscribers constantly exercise a buying habit until you put some money to find out.

Placing even a small amount of money can be high-risk to a number of Internet Marketers who are on tight budgets. But in spite of the risk factors, eZine promoting can still be profitable, if done right.

Thus the solution: the marketer would be more wise to if he or she uses eZine promoting to build his
or her mailing list. Since some eZines display more than one sponsored advertisement, you can catch the subscriber’s attention by offering a free or risk-free product or offer through your
advertisement.

When the subscriber clicks on your advertisement, he or she can opt into your mailing list in exchange for the free offer, which can be a free e-book or even a one month free trial service.

While you are not attempting a hard sell through your advertisement, building your list by getting other eZine’s subscribers opting in to your eZine lets you to follow up with them in the future,when you have new offers.

Using Free Reports to Build Your List

Apart from pre-selling your products and affiliated offers, the other intention of your free viral report should be to build your mailing list.

This is because if you are incapable to pre-sell, let alone sell, the products and services featured
in your free report, the final result should be to accumulate leads. In short, if you cannot change
over the reader into a buyer, you should then try to change the reader into your subscriber.

If you follow these steps, you can still follow-up with your reader on future offers and have a
opportunity at changing over the reader into your client, preferably for their lifetime.

You can do this by offering a lifetime update to your report or a unique notification list (new offer or newsletter) your reader would be fascinated in subscribing to, which leads to having your subscriber opted in to your new mailing list.

One of the few winning ingredients in viral marketing of your free report is its quality. If your readers find your info worth sharing, and you promote them to do so by giving them the right sell rights to give your report away for free, you will be able to have your name, status and links within the report – simply because other people are allowed to do this for you!

Massive Duplication

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 18:13:00 +0000

Here is an email I did for my networking marketing list a few months ago. I thought some of you might want to read it.

Massive Duplication

Last night I was doing a training call and got asked a
typical question, although it does not directly address the
question of duplication the answer does in a big way.

Here's the question . . .

"Do I need to create my own system, my own lead capture
page, my own website to be successful in my business?"

We were discussing targe'ted traffic generation in the
training call and this participant wanted to know if he
needed to create his own system to create success.

Extremely important point when it comes to massive
duplication in your business.

You must ALWAYS be weary of what you do above and beyond
what your particular business provides in the way of a
marketing system when thinking of how your business will
grow.

Duplication occurs when you do something successfully and
then transfer that knowledge and success down the line.

If you are creating huge success in your own business
personally on the recruiting front but you've created your
own lead capture page and your own website etc. you are to
be congratulated for your success, but know this . . .

The more steps and the more complicated your personally
success system is the LESS duplicable it will be.

Why?

The more you have to teach from a technical standpoint the
less likely that knowledge will be passed down the line to
levels two and three correctly.

Remember that game you played as a kid where you whispered a
sentence in the ear of the person standing next to you, and
they in turn passed that message to the person next to them,
all the way down the line to the last kid?

When that last kid got the message it sounded nothing like
the original message you started out with.

Now if you had only said one word and passed it down the
line, it's much more probably that the last person to here
it would get it right at the end of the line simply because
it was a simpler message to transfer.

Think about duplication in your business like that.

You may be able to pull of some fancy stuff yourself and you
may be good at teaching that stuff to your immediate
recruits, but don't expect them to be able to do the same.

The simpler the system the more duplicable it will be.

That's one reason most upline sponsors teach their recruits
to go buy leads and call them, it's easy to do and easy to
teach.

Doesn't mean it's highly effective for all, but on the
duplication front it is duplicable from an application
standpoint.

You want to keep as much of your company's base marketing
system intact as possible when creating your success because
you always have to remember that in order for your
organization to grow they MUST be able to do what you just
did.

The fewer steps involved in your personal recruiting system
the more powerful it is in the long run.

Never loose sight of this.

Not Enough time in a day

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 18:05:00 +0000

Hi Everyone,

I have not had much time in the last week to add much to my blog. With hockey and everything else I do, I just have not had the time to spend on my website.

The next area I will be focusing is blogging. I receive a fair amount of traffic on this blog for not really promoting it that much. So I feel I could learn something at I make the part of generating traffic for your website. I also hope to have at least one article done for next week, maybe two depending on how creative my mind is at the time. The Blogrush seems to be driving some traffic to my site which is good. I also have found 2 referals, which is AWESOME. The Co-op list blast has not gone out yet but I will keep you updated.

Short note today, just to keep you updated.

Viral Marketing 101 - Not Using It Will Shrink Your Business!

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 02:34:00 +0000

Creativeness.

This is one virtue a web site essential must have to lead the race in the high stakes competition in the Internet based business. With so much rivalry going on, every technique of marketing essential has to be used and applied.

It doesn’t matter if you have a superb product or a fabulously configured website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it in the top 20 websites on google. Worse of all, you business could shrink to nothing.

While there are so many techniques and strategies applied by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some these techniques that can help you with an extra rise in the popularity ratings. One of these techniques is called Viral Marketing.

While the term Viral easily portrays a virus, a word very much feared by all computer owners, it is not what it seems. You do not really use a computer virus to advertise your business; on the contrary. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads, flashy banners and spyware.

3 Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 19:45:00 +0000

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills back.

With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers. This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also getting popular.

3 Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to kick start up those creative writing skills.

With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most efficient techniques in getting targeted clients to web sites and winning over them into customers. This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also becoming popular.

There are already several tools that folks can use to make the procedure of distributing their articles more easily. Though this is priceless in getting the articles more exposure.
Let us take a look first at the basic mistakes that some people make before submitting their articles to article directories:

1. Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding, lead generation and publicity, which are all part of your optimization attempts.
But there is only one reason why you compose an article, and that is to inform the reader. If the article is not centered on this primary and most important intent, it will fail to accomplish the three promotion benefits because no one will be fascinated in reading them. You need to figure out first how to get people to read what is in your article, then make them click on your signature box.

2. Failing to maximize the promotional chances of article marketing.

You may know already that your articles can help you return additional links back to your web site. But do you know that you can get more traffic and better search engine outcomes from that same article?

Refer keywords at important places. Just be sure not to over use them. Some are even using anchor texts which is also an impressive method. But it is crucial to know that many of the directories are not able to support this.

Remember that is not entirely about the links back to your web site. Part of doing well in your article marketing is getting picked up by publishers with a large quality traffic and acquiring the power of leveraging your offers because of the caliber of your work. Better search engine results also are great benefits.

But these things do not put much income in your pocket. There are other elements that can turn your article marketing attempts into an opportunity that can rise your profits. Not just grow the number of visitors to your web site.
Start out with a plan and see to it that your article will help the function that you planned it to have.

3. Publishing content that does not help your readers.

Maybe in the process of writing articles, you are thinking all you want are links back to your web site. And any visitors it can generate are all right.

Guess what? Not all article directories are going to admit your articles automatically. Oftentimes, they have guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are admitting.
You can double the number of web sites you can submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people. All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousan subscribedrs to grow your possible audience overnight.

Write the content that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most efficient way for you. This also means you have to obey the accepted guidelines, spell checks, researching on orginal topics and even hiring a ghost writer to produce a good material on your behalf.

In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a small amount of exposure from increased links back but on a very basic level. Or enjoy heavy exposure from a little additional time making quality articles.

It will be your choice. You may not be aware of the fact that an article posted on directories is not intended to have the same degree of exposure as highly-targeted content, as ones geared towards a small group of people. Learn the difference between these two and it will certainly help you recognize what kinds of articles to write and to submit.

Promoting Your Business on MySpace

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 03:51:00 +0000

The question of whether or not MySpace can be used to advertise a business is certainly controversial. MySpace is intended to be a non-commercial website by nature but there is a different between open commercialization and naming a product or service you propose and supplying a link as a valuable resource to visitors of your site. This article will take a look at the opportunities to advertise a business on MySpace by providing info on deciding whether or not your way of business promotion is allowed on MySpace and information on how to advertise your business without being charged of spamming MySpace.

Read the Terms of Service Carefully

The terms of service supplied by MySpace can offer the greatest insight into whether or not there are ways to advertise your business through MySpace. Members of MySpace are asked to go over the terms of service before becoming a member. Each member should carefully study this entire agreement to come to a better perceptive of which types of actions are permitted on MySpace as well as which types of actions are disallowed.

One of the conditions of the MySpace reads as follows, “Non-commercial Use by Members. The MySpace Services are for the personal use of Members only and may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors except those that are specifically endorsed or approved by MySpace.com. Illegal and/or unauthorized use of the MySpace Services, including collecting usernames and/or email addresses of Members by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email or unauthorized framing of or linking to the MySpace Website is prohibited. Commercial advertisements, affiliate links, and other forms of solicitation may be removed from Member profiles without notice and may result in termination of Membership privileges. Appropriate legal action will be taken for any illegal or unauthorized use of the MySpace Services.”

This part of the terms of service specifies that MySpace is created for non-commercial use unless Myspace.com has okayed the use of a member’s website for commercial intentions. Thus, attention should be taken when planning a MySpace website to guarantee the website will not be viewed as a commercial website by MySpace administrators.

Do Not Assume, Ask Questions

Those who are uncertain of whether or not their MySpace website, as they have planned it, will be conceived as a commercial website had better consult with MySpace administrators. This step is not essential unless the member is afraid their content will be perceived as being commercial. Reexamining the terms of use agreement can offer a great deal of information but some users may still be interested with the possibility that their website will be punished if the administrators view it to be commercial in nature.

Contacting MySpace is a fairly simple procedure. Members can use the, “Contact MySpace” link from the MySpace.com homepage. The contact page enables members to choose a subject and a subtopic and submit this information. Once this is done MySpace provides some preliminary info which may be applicable. If this information is not of value to the member they can email a detailed request to MySpace.

Spamming is a NO NO

If you find out there is an chance for you to advertise your business through MySpace, caution should be taken to ensure the promotion does not cross the line into spam. Spamming is taken very seriously by the MySpace administrators and it may result in links or content being erased or the privileges of membership may be annulled when a member is found to be at fault of spamming.

Links to your ecommerce website blended into your MySpace website isn’t considered spamming. Depending on how it is applied it may not even be regarded advertising, and therefore prohibited, by MySpace administrators. However, visiting other MySpace websites and posting a link to your ecommerce website on each site you visit would be conceived as spam. These individuals may or may not be interested in the website you provide but even if they are interested sending these links to many sites uninvited is often believed to be spam.

It has Been BUSY!

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:47:00 +0000

Last week was extremely busy. Had no time to make an entry. I was out at Wainwright helping with Hockey Canada Skills day. It was AWESOME! Nothing like helping young kids get better at the game. It was well ran and the kids had a great time and I the other coaches did an excellent job with the kids.

I have been doing as many articles as I can. After reviewing the strategies regarding article marketing, I am seeing alot more traffic going to my website. I will focus on this for the next few weeks and try to get my number of articles up to 20 t0 25.

I have also started with a new article company that helps you build backlinks. It is FREE and I highly recommend it. The company just is just starting out and has huge potential. The company is called Article Sense and it deals with viral marketing using articles. They also teach you some other ways to increase your backlinks such as Hub Pages.

I have stopped promoting Power Prospecting Systems. It was great and I would recommend anyone to join it. I was taught a ton of new information, but it was just not the right time. I am having more fun buidling my website and writing articles.

I you need anything or have questions please contact me or leave a comment.

5 Tips to Make Your Own Press Releases

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 16:39:00 +0000

Press Releases can help your business acquire publicity through the

media. Having media attention affords your business believability.

Here are a few tips to promote your press release's attraction. .

Correct Format: There is a format that press releases require to

conform to. Make sure your yours is written in the correct formatting,

as you will want it to look as professional as possible. It is

also a good idea to re-read the press release for grammar, punctuation and

Writing before you send it in for submission.

Keep It To The Point: Your press release should be no

longer than two pages. Media companies take in lots of press

releases and don't have time to understand a ten page report.

Keeping your writing clear and brief allow you to fit in the

crucial facts without going over the two page limit. As you

decide what selective information to admit; answer the following

questions: who, what, why, where, when, and how.

What Is The Reader Going To Acquire: Give your press releases a

call to action. Include something that is going to prompt

readers to go to your event, visit your website, attend your

grand opening, etc. Publishing a blatant advertisement will be apparent.

All media outlets will not publish blatant advertisments.

Comprise the features and benefits of what you are advertising,

and give info on what it will do for your target market.

If you are advertising a new drink blender and simply stating that

it is comes in 8 colours and takes up less space than previous models isn't

sufficient.

However, writing the facts as "the new model comes in eight colours

and takes up less space, allowing our customers to have

the full 5 speed blending power of our larger model, but also save

precious counter space" lets the reader know the new benefits of the new

model.

Using MySpace To Create Your Own Website Traffic

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:45:00 +0000

One of the easiest ways MySpace members can generate increased traffic to their website is to produce a website which is both aesthetically appealing and fascinating to others. The pleasing appeal of a website can greatly determine the quantity of repeat traffic a MySpace site experiences. For example members who use flashy colors and fonts which are too small or otherwise hard to read may not experience recurring traffic even if the content of their website is very gripping and engaging. This is because other members may lose interest in the website quickly.

The other part of an superior website design is stimulating and intriguing content. A website which is aesthetically invoking may entice visitors to peruse the content but if it is simply not stimulating and engaging the visitors are not likely to spend much time on the internet site and are also not likely to come back. However, MySpace members who fill their website with arousing content are likely to keep visitors fascinated. When visitors are interested in the content they are likely to come back and also to promote others to visit the website as well.

Visit Members’ Websites

Another way to generate increased traffic to your MySpace website is by visiting the sites of other members. You can use the search feature to find additional members who partake in your interests. By visiting their websites you will get a stronger idea of whether or not you are interested in being acquaintances/friends with these members. When you come across other members you might be interested in meeting you can send them an email or instant message pointing out their website and asking to be added to their network of friends. You can also suggest they check out your website as well. Those who make an attempt to meet other members are likely to gain their own web site traffic.

Invite Friends to Your MySpace Website

Finally, MySpace members can generate additional hits to their website by asking others to visit them. They can speak directly to friends and family members and encourage them to view their internet site. Also, those who take part in other web communities such as discussion boards may include a link to their MySpace website in their signature box so those who want to find out more about them, can visit their MySpace profile.

MySpace also has an invite feature which enables members to direct messages to others to promote them to start a MySpace account. Members who have friends or family members who are not members to the MySpace community can send them one of these invitations to encourage them to take part. The invitation can include a link to the members

List of websites for Social Networking and Bookmarking

noreply@blogger.com (beks) — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:11:00 +0000

HI everyone,

I just finished up a list of social networking sites and book marks. Take a look, it is the hottest craze as you likely already know. Facebook and Myspace has gone bonkers. I have also listed some business type network sites. I am free members to AdlandPro and Direct Matches. They have helped me develop a handful of leads.

I have not used social networking to it fullest potential. As I develop the content for the site on this topic, the more I learn. I have wasted time on other advertising where this might have yielded better returns. If you want to learn more go to my site.

I have so picked up this ebook which has helped, "Social Networking Exposed".

I still have much more content to add to this topic. Such as tips for increasing traffic exposure and security issues with social networking.

The one thing I now understand is creating your own website is likely the best route to go. Unless you have huge email list waiting for your affiliate emails and can make instant sales; building your own brand is likely the best way to branding yourself.

Just a thought.

Take care
Blair
