2 Reasons Why Productivity Isn’t Working Or Knowledge Doesn’t Stick…

c2008  Mia… miasMarketing .com

Why Knowledge Doesn’t Stick… Need Productivity?

If you’ve ever taught, provided training or mentoring in the internet marketing or small business environment, then you will identify with and understand the frustration of many seminar and conference instructors and organizers.  If your affiliates or associates have ever come to you complaining about their lack of progress or abillity to make money… you don’t have to feel guilty or responsible for their failures.

If you have provided them the tools and knowledge needed for success in their niche and they are not productive or effective then you need to remind yourself of the follow ing facts that I have outlined below.

There are 2 types of people that you find seeking information products and sytems or at a seminars…

Prospect #1
The Perpetual Student.
An information junkie… ever learning… never doing. They will not apply what you teach them.
Prospect #2
The Know-It-All.
They have heard it before… therfore they do not need to apply your advice… may not take it seriously. Therefore they do not apply what you teach them.

You may want to point out these human tendencies to your students so that they can avoid these common mistakes… you will be doing them and you a favor! 

Be Blessed & Empowered To Prosper!

Top 5 Proven Ways to Drive Targeted Traffic…to Your WebSite

c2008  Mia…miasMarketing.com

When you’re involved in online marketing, easily one of the most major concerns you’ll have to face is driving traffic to your site.  And not just any traffic – you’ll need targeted traffic.  Here are the top 10 proven ways you can drive quality traffic to your website or affiliate marketing site and increase your income-generating potential:

E-mail Campaigns

Used carefully, e-mail campaigns can easily drive targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing site.  This can be done by providing highly relevant and valuable information on the body of the message and then offering a link that will bring the recipients into your site. 

You can do this two ways: one is by providing the full content in the e-mail message and then offering a link inviting the recipient to view more similar write-ups on your site.  Another is by giving only a portion of the content and offering the rest on the affiliate site.  A linked e-mail signature should also be included.

Articles

Informative and how-to articles, especially well-written ones, are proven traffic baits for affiliate marketing sites.  Include links to similar or additional information within the content body that can only be read from your site and provide additional links on your signature.

Newsletters and E-zines

People love information, particularly those about subjects they are curious about or are involved in – which explains why targeted methods to drive traffic to affiliate marketing sites work best. 

Offer e-newsletter and e-zine subscriptions, making sure that links bring recipients to your site.  Use a separate landing page to handle the subscription process for your visitors’ convenience.

Blogs

Other than your affiliate marketing site, use a blog to get in touch with prospective customers and members.  Blogs are considerably more personal and lighter in tone than most affiliate business sites and they can be a great source of information, news, advice and tips from you to your prospects.  Include a link from your blog to your affiliate marketing site.

Social Bookmarking Sites

These sites are a rich source of targeted traffic that you can drive to your affiliate marketing site.  Your market demographics are also easier to define so sending out invitations to potential leads and members is a lot easier.

Apply these techniques!  You Are Empowered To Prosper!

Success Is Yours!

Ten Tips Remove Stress

c2008 Mia… mias-Marketing-com

Do the find the days flying by and leaving you behind? Are you working your life away? Whether you work long hours because of passion for your product or business… or because you need lots of money… you MUST make time for fun.

Even God rested on the seventh day… maybe to set an example for us. Our bodies need rest and balance. Although we always teach that our thinking - our mind - has to remain focused… it also needs to be renewed.

If you are a workaholic then you need to listen up! In order to truly be productive, you have to de-stress! You have to make time to unwind. You need to relax and escape the pressure, the stress, the dogma of the day.

If you have a hard time laying around or have forgotten how to “do nothing” let me give you something to do… take some to time to… get away.  Take a trip.

If that is impossible right now I have made a list of 10 Tips to take the stress away so that you can be more productive with your daily grind of duties.

1. Laugh A Lot

Lighten up. Laugh when you want to cry. To laugh is to heal.  Laughing has physical benefits as well as providing emotional healing. I could go on and on to remind you of the many reasons why you should force yourself to laugh… atleast once a day.  Mia’s BONUS TIP: It starts with a smile

2. Leave Work Early And Often

I give you permission to move your folder or project aside… and decide to leave the office and go unwind. Tell your boss Mia told you to do it. To be honest… this kind of freedom is the very reason that I believe being a self employed entrepreneur, small business owner, or a home based business owner is the absolute best avenue for many adventurous, maverick type, type A personalities! I can set you up so quickly and easily to have your own business… but I’ll stick to the article outline for now.

3. Leave The Drama At Work - How To De-Stress

You are passionate about your work (I hope… if not we need to talk) But know that what you do is not you. Yes it reflects who you are… but you are not a project, a business, or a book. You are human with feelings and needs. If you do not mentally leave your work, separate your job from your personal life… it will eventually leave you dull and dry and discouraged. Not good for profitablility nor the bottom line. 

4. Leisure & Fun = Play - How To De-Stress

Learn to play. Give yourself permission to play. Remember playing kickball? How about swinging or riding your bike? A long time ago right? You need to revive those relaxing, mood lifting times. Take a stroll, smell the flowers, plan a picnic, lay in the grass. You work hard…You need downtime. Your health depends on it. You deserve it.

5. Long Vacations Pay Huge Dividends - How To De-Stress

You say WHAT? Long vacations pay huge dividends. I’m not talking about money dividends (Although I CAN show you how to make money while you play with Forex investments) I am talking about quality of life dividends. Time to unwind - it does take a few days to let your work go. I think cruises are a great economical way to take a “forget it all” vacation and escape to another world.

6. Leave Fond Memories - How To De-Stress

Speaking of Investments… you need to leave good memories for your children. You may be working hard to provide for their futures (and they will thank you for it) but they also need more of you. More time, more love, more understanding. How can you relate to their world if you are not really in it? Better relationships, a loving marriage (?) happy children and a happier, more dignified, relaxed you.

7. Love Means Family Time - How To De-Stress

Schedule love into your life. You may say “My family already knows that I love them, look how hard I work!” That makes sense to me… but children and spouses don’t always think logically. They feel. If you are not around… they feel lost, they feel alone, they feel ignored, and eventually replace you with someone who gives them attention.

8. Learn A New Hobby - How To De-stress

If you have an old hobby or activity that you have slung aside in your quest to make a living… re-vive your old passion. Or better yet - start a new one. Always wanted to rebuild an engine? Collect cars, or miniature trains, or dolls?  Many people are on Ebay selling their treasures… (by the way that’s a side good business/hobby to get into.)

Take up golf or horseback riding or racing or skydiving. Just be careful. Need I remind you that people are depending on you to be around for a long time.

9. Learn Time Management - How To De-Stress

Invest in the Franklin Covey system of time and project management. It will change how you work and how you play… allowing more time for leisure activity as well as relieving the stress of hectic waste of time tasks… will improve your profits and productivity.

10. Let Yourself Be Pampered - How To De-Stress

It’s a nice way of saying “Baby Yourself.” Be good to yourself. From health spas and vacations to hobbies and childlike fun you owe it to yourself to care. Take care of yourself… your body, mind, soul and spirit.

Be Blessed And Empowered To Prosper! You Deserve It!

Design Your Destiny… Success Is Yours!

C2008 Mia… miasMarketing .com

You design your destiny. Or shall I say, you should be designing your destiny.

Your attitudes, inner core values, and your belief system ultimately guide your actions… they are like a compass… assisting you in reaching your desired goals. They can also help you fail.

There are lots of self help and personal development books, tapes, CD’s and podcasts available. We know that a lot of money is being spent on these materials. I read statistics that stated that in 2005 over $9.6 Billion dollars was spent on self help products. Though many swear by these motivational or inspirational products… others criticize these methods of self improvement and claim it is all bunk…a waste of time and money.

Because I know how important self talk and motivation are in my own personal journey to success and I know how human nature tends to gravitate toward the negative if left unchecked… I believe it is necessary for most people (myself included) to receive inspiration from another source outside of themselves.

In order for us to realize the success in life that we all desire and strive for - we need to be sustained at times to remain at the top of our game. Sometimes our friends and family are not able to encourage us in the way that we need to be lifted up. Especially if we are striving to move forward… breaking through barriers and glass ceilings, whether real or imagined. Breaking the generic hardened mold… of mould and decay… that would constrain us or reduce us to the role of a “walking generality” should be the goal of any entrepreneur.

Personal development courses and training are only an honest attempt to impart into us the ingredients for success. Success in business… Success in our relationships… Success in areas of known weakness. As we listen… intent on hearing messages of affirmation and positive reinforcement… it bears witness with the truth that is hidden within us… the inner desire… the inner knowing that we as human beings created in the image of a loving, powerful God. We are capable of far more than we have yet imagined or believed.

If we hear a message of affirmation long enough, it will get into our spirit and unite with our soul and we will begin to “walk out” or “act upon” the good intentions that are the deep desires of our heart.

First hope, faith, then courage, and finally love will become our mantle and shield. We then become ready to go forth into our universe, community, or niche to conquer all the fear, negativity, and unworthiness that we all, at times, feel when we are being held back.

The bigger the mountain the harder and longer the climb… but the reward? It will be worth the journey.

Go Design Your Destiny! And Be Blessed Because…
You ARE Empowered To Prosper!

Internet Marketing & Business Blogs Use RSS Feeds

c2008 Mia… miasMarketing

RSS With Google Reader For Internet Marketing - For Everyone!

There are over 50 million blogs according to Technorati. I am not sure how many of these are Internet Marketing or Business Blogs but that is an awful lot of smart content being posted online that you and I cannot easily get to! Introducing the RSS Feed…

RSS Feeds Help Online Business & Internet Marketing Success

How do we keep up with all the new information and websites that we have saved in our browser “Favorites?” Whether personal browsing or business blogging, it is inconvenient to organize and go into those folders looking for favorite websites so we don’t do it often do we? We just type into our browser or Google the places we like to visit daily, weekly or whatever.

This is not efficient nor is it the best way to check into your favorite websites be they internet marketing blogs or any blog or website. So what is the solution? RSS. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. I know it sounds complicated but it really is simple for you as a user.

Every modern website or professional blog has an RSS feed. (Feed = Website Content) When you visit a website that you want to monitor or check in on periodically, you look for the RSS button and click on it… adding it to your (Google) RSS Reader.

A Google RSS Reader is free and it pulls in a fresh feed from any website that you add to it…every time the internet marketing website has news or a fresh article, posting, podcast, etc. Therefore you do not have to surf around trying to remember your favorite internet marketing guru addresses or those unique, interesting sites that you found.. oh so long ago.

You can get your Google RSS Reader here…
http://www/google.com/reader

This is a slideshow tour of how to use it…
http://www.google.com/help/reader/tour.html

This is a fantastic flash tutorial with video and audio that will show you how to use Google Reader from start to finish!
http://andywibbels.com/flash/google_reader.htm

When you visit an internet marketing or other website or blog that you want to keep getting articles, news, postings or podcasts from you will look for a button (usually it is ORANGE) and click on it to allow it to be added to your Google Reader.

The Google Reader will keep track of all your favorite websites or internet marketing blogs and automatically keep adding fresh content as each website updates it’s news or content. It is a fantastic tool if you like to research or read… or even if you are just nosy and want to know what your competitor is up to!

Another Google Trick - Google Alerts

There are many advanced tricks you can setup Google to do… such as notify you by email if certain keywords anywhere on the Internet are included in a website post. Now you have to get very specific with your keywords of course.

For instance, I was interested in investing in a new technology for energy and had a tip about a guy named “Kanzius” who was an inventor. I want to know if he ever gets an IPO so I have set up a Google alert with the keyword “Kanzius” and now everytime there is a press release or article about his invention, fundraising, or anything connected with his research, etc I get an email! Cool eh?

Go here to setup your own google alerts for very specific subjects.
http://www.google.com/alerts

I am now going to add the RSS Feeds of my favorite Internet Marketing guru blogs… a great way to stay up to date with various product launches and new strategies that are always being developed to make money online. If you have an online business you should encourage your readers to put your RSS Feed in their Google Readers.  Some claim that Email Marketing may become obsolete and replaced by something
similiar to RSS. 

By the way… Make sure you add my RSS Feed to your new Google Reader. 

To Your Online Success!

Do you have deep desires yet to be fulfilled in your life? I won’t lie… I’ll admit to you that I have many dreams and desires that I have not yet accomplished for a variety of reasons. Some reasons are beyond my control… or the timing is not quite right… yet. But I also know that many of my dreams and goals have not manifested… and it is all my fault.

What a tragedy. When a gap exists between dreams and reality… it can lead to bigger issues emotionally, with our relationships or with our health. It is then time to access and map out a new plan… a new life!

People have many diverse desires and dreams, goals and definitions for success. You may fancy big exotic cars, while another wants a house on a hill. Your neighbor may want to own their own business and another always wanted a formal education. Some people want to retire early with millions to sustain them in their old age. Some just want love.

Whatever your goals are…you can meet them. You may have to adjust the magnitude in relation to the timing, or even tweak your definition of success. You may have to compromise something of lesser value. You will have to adjust your vision periodically as the path to success is rarely short and simple but long and winding. But you can have the success that you dream of.

You can have the desires of your heart if the condition of your heart is right. If your heart has hope it has a seed of faith. The atmosphere and environment for your personal and business success must be conducive to growth - so that your seed of faith can flourish and bear fruit.

So recently I was introduced to a website about “mind movies.” A really cool video visualization technique that helps propel you toward your dreams. You make your own reality by creating a movie of your dreams. I would call it a lazy mans way of meditating.

Or… wait! Actually it takes more energy to create a mind movie than to just relax on a daily basis for a moment in time and meditate with your own mind pictures. I have been using that method since grade school… just to force myself to finish my homework or do chores or whatever.

I produce television and do some digital art, so of course I naturally use visualization just to birth a project, campaign, or brand. But this mind movie thing is a good way to get people to understand the connection between dreaming and doing and how powerful the results can be.

But we must discuss the difference between dreaming and doing. Or dreaming and setting goals. Just because we sit around and conjure up wonderful images of our personal or business success mind movie… does NOT mean we automatically fulfill our goals. Goals. I said goals folks. We must have them. They are the stepping stones that lead us toward our destination called success!

And this is where I have failed many times. I have always realized the power of positive thinking, positive talk, dreams and visualization. I have even been pretty good about writing out plans and goals.. blueprints to lead to the fulfillment of my dreams. But often times I have lost focus. Confession Time…

I would either float from project to project or lose interest in a project once felt I had mastered it. Sometimes I lost interest immediately after creating a master plan with all the bells and whistles… ready to be launched and I walked away to birth another idea leaving the beautiful project on the launching pad. Stupid? Absolutely. I admit it.

How Can You Avoid Stupid?Realize that although you need to spend time visualizing success and dreaming about the results - you have to take consistent action and complete each task before you begin another.

One step at a time… one task at a time… one day at a time… one goal at a time. Specific tasks and goals breed success. You have dreams to birth so here are some tips about goals and goal setting that will keep you on track or get you on the right path concerning planning…

You Must Be Specific
Being Rich Is A Dream… Retiring With 5 Million Is a Goal

Your Goal Must Be Actionable
The Lottery Is A Dream… Winning A Marathon Is A Goal

Use A Timeline
Retiring Rich Is A Dream… Retiring Rich At Age 40 Is A Goal

Be Realistic
Developing A Networth Of $3 Million In 4 Years Is Possible… Developing A Networth Of $3 Million Of In 3 Months Is Not!

Make A Master Plan And Break It Down As Follows…

7 Year Goal
1 Year Goal
Monthly Goals
Weekly Goals
Daily Tasks

The results of setting specific goals have been proven to be very powerful. Failing to plan is planning to fail.

You can be a success. You can fulfill your dreams. Dare to dream… then go do!

Success Is Creating Effective and Efficient Relationships

c2008 Mia… mias Marketing .com

Relationships of all kinds are often perceived as very delicate things, that require extra effort to maintain. However, a relationship can also be something that can provide security and can also be long lasting despite many trying times together.  Success in business requires the ability to network.

Building an effective and lasting relationship is a necessity for several reasons. For example in a group or organization, the well being of the people depends on how efficient and effective that group or organization works.  This also affects the quality of work and productivity and success of a business, online or offline.

The group or organization is also dependent on how the members work well with the management.   Whether you are dealing with corporate America or are a small business owner wearing many hats… you must learn how to build business relationships if you want to be a success.

An ineffective group or organization can really be very frustrating. An effective group or organization can also ask so much on their members, that sometimes the members feel as though they have no life outside the walls of the area where they work.  They may sacrifice the other aspects of their life just to meet deadlines. For an organization or group with this kind of scenario, relationships can be stressed or suffer from breakdown.  Eventually the success of the business will be effective as productivity decreases over time and moral is broken.

People or other entities who depend on these groups or organization also suffer.

Society is defined as a web of relationships, which requires all parties to work and contribute their share in order to achieve a common goal. Having a relationship that is good, where cooperation and respect are manifested, can make society work better. In this way each member works for the good of the whole and towards achieving a common goal. This type of business success can only be attained with effective and efficient relationships.

Understanding the other parties’ feeling and position creates an effective and efficient business relationship. The easiest method to understand what is important to another party is to ask them what they want and listen to what they have to say. When the other party realizes this, they would feel the importance given to them

Effective and efficient relationships require parties to openly express their feelings and positions on all matters pertinent on the relationship. Assuming that the other party understands our needs and give us when we need it without asking for it is not a good practice.

Respect is the key to relationship. In order to create a more effective and successful relationship, parties should treat each other with respect. We can show respect just by listening to the other party and by trying sincerely to understand how they function. You can also show respect to other parties by confirming that they are doing everything they can.

The opposite of respect is quick forming of judgements based on unfounded facts and prejudice.

Respect is the very foundation for a great relationship. This also means respecting yourself and respecting others.

Another key area in forming an effective relationship is to tackle differences of the other party directly. Differences between parties or people are quite interesting. For example in a conversation where each party listens to the other party, you may observe that each is having two different perspectives.

Work towards a win-win solution for both parties.  Compromise can also breed or signal success in business.

This can be done when at least one party acknowledges that the relationship is important. That party would then exert more time, effort and energy to understand the other party’s needs and deal with it to get it out of the way. Should they fail, it is comforting for that party to know that they tried.

Effectively listening and no pre-judging. This is important if parties are to understand each other.

Informal discussions are conducive for parties. They bring out issues and concerns comfortably. They also feel more relaxed making them think more clearly.

Developing an atmosphere where the other party can express their feelings when they need to.

When parties fail to express whatever is on their mind or their feelings, it can get in the way of building an effective relationship.

Parties should be aware that certain things exist naturally but should be controlled in any dealings in any relationship. Human nature is one. Some of these things found in a relationship also include a history of stereotyping or mistrust, blaming the other person or party for a strained relationship, excluding the other party’s feelings when focusing on a task, no clear and defined objectives, roles and expectations of each party in a relationship is also unclear.

Relationships are important to anyone, addressing issues and problems right away is a must to further improve the relationship. As they say ‘No man is an Island’.

Good luck in your efforts to develop your networking and business skills with your online business.

Success… Online Marketing… Entrepreneurs Require Time Management

c2008  Mia… miasMarketing .com

Time Management Is The Foundation Of Long Term Success.  It Is Basically About Being Focused.

The Pareto Principle also known as the ‘80:20 Rule’ states that 80% of efforts that are not time managed or unfocused generates only 20% of the desired output. However, 80% of the desired output can be generated using only 20% of a well time managed effort. Although the ratio ‘80:20′ is only arbitrary, it is used to put emphasis on how much is lost or how much can be gained with time management.

Some people view time management as a list of rules that involves scheduling of appointments, goal settings, thorough planning, creating to do lists and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management and should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further, to include the finer points of each skill adding the extra effort that gets the results you desire.

But there are more skills involved in time management than the core basics. Skills such as decision making, inherent abilities such as emotional intelligence and critical thinking are also essential to your personal growth.

Personal time management involves everything you do. No matter how big and no matter how small, everything counts. Each new knowledge you acquire, each new advice you consider, each new skill you develop should be taken into consideration, processed and incorporated into your style.

Having a balanced lifestyle should be the key result in having personal time management. This is the main aspect that many practitioners of personal time management fail to grasp.

Time management is about getting results, not about being busy!

Money Making Ideas… Online Business Success… Unleash Your Creative Instincts - Build Skills

c2008  Mia… miasMarketing .com

People seem to have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative genius. People also assume that only a lucky few are capable of making money with an online business. That is not true at all. The fact is, creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give out great results. If you don’t practice harnessing creative thinking, this skill will very much atrophy into inexistence.

Blog Traffic… Online Business… Success 

Business Blogging… Posting Matters

Did you know that the timing of your blog posts affects the visitor count or site traffic that you get?
Sure it does! If you want success with your online business… you may just want to try to publish your blog posts during busy high traffic times.

There seem to be about 4 times per day when you may be more likely to get a higher site traffic count.
Listed below Are Potential High Traffic Times When You May Get More Traffic Action…

•   6:00 am - The Breakfast Browser Crowd
• 10:00 am - The Morning Break Bunch
• 12:00 pm - The LunchBox Loungers
•   5:00 pm - The “Honey I’m Home” Crowd

If you are serious about your blogging (especially if you earn a living from it) or you are a news or industry blogger - you should try to publish three or four times each day. Establish a comfortable routine and try to be consistent. So if you publish a fresh post at each of the time intervals mentioned above… you should have success as well as…

1. Have quite a collection of articles for your site, article directories, your book or blog…

2. Optimize your opportunity to get the attention of both the search engines (Google in particular) and your readers who want to be informed about the latest, greatest, gossip or news - in your niche or industry.

Subscribe to RSS Feeds (Google Reader is FREE) and have the news niche of your choice sent straight to your desktop as soon as it is wired… grab your wordpad and create the news for your audience along with your own take or opinion. Don’t forget to invite your readers to comment and share their views! That is what makes the Web2.0 Social Bookmarking and Media Marketing so special and engaging.

The Right Place At The Right Time…
Preparation + Opportunity = Success

Preparation for success does not have to take a long time, nor does it have to be super intense. On the other hand, preparation can be natural part of your growth process taking the years, or it can be like an bootcamp training of concentration and focus to birth your goals, dreams and destiny.

One situation that you should prepare for… no matter your chosen or destined path to the door of success… is to take the time to write down your “story” and discern the angle that you will present it so that others can grasp and understand it’s relevance and significance to their world.

Success is many times about who you know. You may only get one chance to present yourself, your idea, your hopes, dreams or cause. You should be able to sum up in 3 sentences and as much minutes what you are about and where you are going, including the how and why! That folks is called the elevator pitch.

Now I have to be honest here about my journey toward success… I have not prepared my “elevator speech” but I do know my values, goals, dreams, and desires. Whether or not I could communicate it quickly and effectively if I met a mentor or angel investor…? Remains to be seen…

The second technique that you should begin to master now… before you obtain success… your moment in the sun… is to prepare your story… a 30-60 minute speech… a presentation that you can be ready to deliver at a moment’s notice when you are swept onto the road called destiny.

This 30-60 minute talk will open doors for you. Success. It will allow you to showcase your skills, your expertise, your story, your product showcase… whatever it is that you want to communicate. Make sure that you add a personal element to your speech. That is why I refer to it as your “story.”
People will listen better, hear more clearly, and respond positively, if they can feel the humanity in your talk.

Get prepared for your chance of a lifetime! What you believe you can conceive. The more prepared you are… the more likely amd quickly your dreams of success can be manifest.

Here are 3 points to consider and remember as you move toward the success that you deserve…

POINT 1 - PREPARE & EXPECT… EXPECTATION BRINGS SUCCESS

You Never Know When A Special Moment Will Happen. Prepare Now. Be Prepared At All Times! Expect Success 24/7

POINT 2 - THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME… BRINGS SUCCESS

Begin To Network Like Never Before. Find Events & Seminars… Join Groups & Clubs In Your Niche… Online But Offline Too!

POINT 3 - WHEN CHANCE SHOWS UP… YOU MUST JUST DO IT! MAKE IT HAPPEN! CHANCE BRINGS SUCCESS

This Step Is Crucial To Success! You Must Not Slack Off Or Slink Off In Fear If Your Opportunity Is Presented! Just Dot It! This Is Your Time To Shine!

Success… Taking Stock… Of Our Lives - Our Future…

 
c2008 Mia… miasMarketing
During the last couple of days I have had some down time to reflect on my progress… in business… in my goal setting strategies… and in my personal development. I can see both success and failure. I can choose to focus on the failure thinking that will help me improve in areas where I lack success.

But as we strive for business success or personal success, it is good to look for success stories to teach us how to reach our goals and chosen destiny. We should know by now that what you focus upon you emulate, propagate or become. What you set before your eyes you will naturally gravitate toward. What you see and hear daily you eventually believe. If your self talk is negative… you will “walk out” or “bring to pass” these feelings and defeatist actions will not lag far behind.

Success is indeed possible if we understand how to use key tools that are available to you and I. Of course planning and goal setting are near the top of the list of must haves. Motivation is another key element to your success… you must put people, places and things, in place to help you stay mtoivated and live up to your potential. A third key element, which must be used at the birthing of a desire is vision. Your vision must also be revisited often so that you can remain focused or re-adjust your plan or procedures.

We are going to create our own success story to encourage and propel us into a greater dimension toward our destiny.

So here are three exercises that you can do to capture your vision, re-focus and adjust your goals or plan, and keep your motivation for success. Set aside a few minutes of private time to reflect. Grab a pen and pad of paper and make notes.

Exercise One:

Picture Your Life… And Success… As You Want It To Be…

Ask yourself the following questions - In your wildest, happiest dreams, what does a typical day look like for you? What defines success for you? Where do you live? What do you do? What is your schedule like? What are you doing? How much time do you spend with family? What are your hobbies? Where do you vacation? How often? Name a few luxuries that you see in your wildest dream. What kind of toys do you have?

Take this seriously. Imagine this is your chance to make your dreams come true… so what are your dreams? If you cannot express your desires - or envision them - you will never have the motivation to obtain them. Close your eyes for a minute and visualize the lifestyle that you began to imagine above. See it. Feel it. Hear it. Smell it. Live it. Good job. You have ignited and recharged your spirit as you were “seeing” with your “minds eye” what you want to be.

Exercise Two:

How Much Money Do You Need To Earn For Your Dreamy Lifestyle Of Success?

Don’t panic and do not get negative on me now! Do some basic math and decide the following… How much money will you need to earn each and every month for the rest of your life to support this lifestyle? Things always cost more than you think they will so make you sure that you allow more than enough to get your dream lifestyle of success.

Create a number that will easily and thoroughly get you and yours all the toys, vacations, and luxuries that you desire. You cannot move on until you figure out and write down how much you want to earn each month!

Exercise Three:

Honestly… If You Keep Doing What You’ve Always Done…Will You have The Lifestyle Of Success That You Desire?

You need to be hard on yourself with that question. No denial. No dodging the truth. Face it. This is a private exercise so you need to be honest so that you can truly change anything that needs to change.

If you keep doing things the same way… will you EVER be able to meet that dream income that your success will demand? Most folks would have to say absolutely not! Don’t feel bad. be glas that you have the guts and courage to take stock of your situation now and make the changes needed.

The sad truth is very few people will ever realize the life of their dreams because they are on the wrong path… or do not even have a plan to go anywhere at all. They are wandering and wondering in the wilderness as a lost soul or a ship without a sail. It is not their fault.

Schools do not teach us principles for success. Schools do not even acknowledge in their studies the character traits or discipline necessary for success. If you do not have a strong, unusually wise upbringing, a deep desire for personal development, or a wealthy mentor… your chances of creating success that dreams are made of… will be slight.

The good news is that… you are different. How do I know? You are motivated and disciplined enough to read this. You are not common like the rest. You obviously can picture yourself, your life… new and improved. The lifestyle of success that you desire can happen!

Speak Success.  Hear Success.  Feel Success.  See Success. You can live the lifestyle of success that you desire! Just do it! Get started today!

Stuck Like A Sitting Duck… In A Hurricane… Most Ducks Like Water…

So I won’t be adding a very useful post tonight. A hurricane is brewing… and I am sorta distracted so much that I can’t concentrate to write. If the power does not go off tomorrow (No power… No air… ugh) then I will try to write something intelligent.

The rain has been hard but this is really just a baby storm this time… I think.  I usually leave and go somewhere and have fun if a hurricane is coming our way - but this one slipped in really quickly - like a bad dream, I became paralyzed the 24 hours before it began and didn’t make a decision to leave before it started.  

Now I am stuck here (bored & frustrated) like a sitting duck for a few days. Most ducks like water - but not this one!

Just like any hardship or storm in our life… this too will pass.

We’ll have to see what happens!

Talk To You Tomorrow

Enjoy The Sunshine

Goal Setting… Mia Says “It’s Your Ticket To Success”

c2008 Mia… miasMarketing

Goals and goal setting are imperative to the success of any top-caliber athlete, successful businessman or businesswomen, or entrepreneur. All types of achievers in all types of industry must use goal setting in order to accomplish significant success for any period of time. Over the long haul, if you do not set goals and develop the skills to manage your time and systems of implementation, any success that you may have achieved cannot last.

Goal setting will give you short-term and long-term motivation and focus. The basics of setting goals assist you in developing a plan and organizing and gathering needed resources so that you can achieve the dreams that you desire… short term and long term.

Setting goals that are clearly defined, whether short term or long term, will enable you to understand whether you are making progress as well as achieve the personal satisfaction that comes with success. As you keep track of… or chart your progress… you will be able to see your stages of success as you get closer, step by step, to the realization of meeting and achieving your goals, dreams & desires.

Some goals involve many tasks and could become overwhelming if you do not plan and understand the stages required in your journey to success. Do not grow weary in the process of meeting your intended goal. As you see each of your goals met you will gain self-confidence and gain an awareness of your competence. Confidence and competence together are a winners trademark. Success upon success… that is how great wealth, companies. corporations and empires are built. But it all starts with an implemented plan… stemming from a series of goals.

Whether you have big ideas, large projects or small tasks, you need to keep track of it all… learn to write it all down and track your progress. You can achieve all that you desire to achieve with a plan… and the proper use of goal setting.

I hope you have enjoyed my blurbs about goal setting and success! Subscribe to the RSS feed for more free tips, tools, techniques, and articles… showing you how to make money, earn money online, as well as market and build your business!

I wish you all the success in the world. You deserve it!

How To - Make Keyword Selections… Success Is Easy  Part 2

c2008 Mia… miasMarketing .com

You can now purchase software that will rate the popularity
of keywords and phrases by giving words a number rating
based on real search engine activity. Software such as
WordTracker will even suggest variations of your words and
phrases. The higher the number this software assigns to a
given keyword, the more traffic you can logically expect to
be directed to your site. The only fallacy with this
concept is the more popular the keyword is, the greater the
search engine position you will need to obtain. If you are
down at the bottom of the search results, the consumer will
probably never scroll down to find you.

Popularity isn’t enough to declare a keyword a good choice.
You must move on to the next criteria, which is
specificity. The more specific your keyword is, the greater
the likelihood that the consumer who is ready to purchase
your goods or services will find you.

Let’s look at a hypothetical example. Imagine that you have
obtained popularity rankings for the keyword “automobile
companies.” However, you company specializes in bodywork
only. The keyword “automobile body shops” would rank lower
on the popularity scale than “automobile companies,” but it
would nevertheless serve you much better. Instead of
getting a slew of people interested in everything from
buying a car to changing their oil filters, you will get
only those consumers with trashed front ends or crumpled
fenders being directed to your site.

In other words, consumers ready to buy your services are
the ones who will immediately find you. Not only that, but
the greater the specificity of your keyword is, the less
competition you will face.

The third factor is consumer motivation. Once again, this
requires putting yourself inside the mind of the customer
rather than the seller to figure out what motivation
prompts a person looking for a service or product to type
in a particular word or phrase.

Let’s look at another example, such as a consumer who is
searching for a job as an IT manager in a new city.

If you have to choose between “Seattle job listings” and
“Seattle IT recruiters” which do you think will benefit the
consumer more? If you were looking for this type of specific
job, which keyword would you type in? The second one,
of course!

Using the second keyword targets people who have decided
on their career, have the necessary experience, and are ready
to enlist you as their recruiter, rather than someone just out
of school who is casually trying to figure out what to do with his
or her life in between beer parties. You want to find people
who are ready to act or make a purchase, and this requires
subtle tinkering of your keywords until your find the most
specific and directly targeted phrases to bring the most
motivated traffic to you site.

Once you have chosen your keywords, your work is not done.
You must continually evaluate performance across a variety
of search engines, bearing in mind that times and trends
change, as does popular lingo. You cannot rely on your log
traffic analysis alone because it will not tell you how
many of your visitors actually made a purchase.

Luckily, some new tools have been invented to help you
judge the effectiveness of your keywords in individual
search engines. There is now software available that
analyzes consumer behavior in relation to consumer traffic.
This allows you to discern which keywords are bringing you
the most valuable customers.

This is an essential concept: numbers alone do not make a
good keyword; profits per visitor do. You need to find
keywords that direct consumers to your site who actually
buy your product, fill out your forms, or download your
product. This is the most important factor in evaluating
the efficacy of a keyword or phrase, and should be the
sword you wield when discarding and replacing ineffective
or inefficient keywords with keywords that bring in better
profits.

Ongoing analysis of tested keywords is the formula for
search engine success. This may sound like a lot of work -
and it is! But the amount of informed effort you put into
your keyword campaign is what will ultimately generate your
business’ rewards.

How To - Make Keyword Selections… Success Is Easy

Think of the right keywords as the Open Sesame! of the
Internet. Find the exactly right words or phrases, and
presto! hoards of traffic will be pulling up to your front
door. But if your keywords are too general or too
over-used, the possibility of visitors actually making it
all the way to your site - or of seeing any real profits
from the visitors that do arrive - decreases dramatically.  

How To - Make Keyword Success Easy And Accurate

Your keywords serve as the foundation of your marketing
strategy. Success in keyword selection is paramount to you
getting web site traffic. If they are not chosen with great
precision, no matter how aggressive your marketing campaign
may be, the right people may never get the chance to find out
about it. So your first step in plotting your strategy is to gather
and evaluate keywords and phrases.

You probably think you already know EXACTLY the right words
for your search phrases. Unfortunately, if you haven’t
followed certain specific steps, you are probably WRONG.
It’s hard to be objective when you are right in the center
of your business network, which is the reason that you may
not be able to choose the most efficient keywords from the
inside. You need to be able to think like your customers.
And since you are a business owner and not the consumer,
your best bet is to go directly to the source.

Instead of plunging in and scribbling down a list of
potential search words and phrases yourself, ask for words
from as many potential customers as you can. You will most
likely find out that your understanding of your business
and your customers’ understanding is significantly
different.

The aim of evaluation is to narrow down your list to a
small number of words and phrases that will direct the
highest number of quality visitors to your website. By
“quality visitors” I mean those consumers who are most
likely to make a purchase rather than just cruise around
your site and take off for greener pastures. In evaluating
the effectiveness of keywords, bear in mind three elements:
popularity, specificity, and motivation.

Popularity is the easiest to evaluate because it is an
objective quality. The more popular your keyword is, the
more likely the chances are that it will be typed into a
search engine which will then bring up your URL.

There is so much ground to cover when it comes to search
engine optimization and keyword selection.

Success To… You.  Motivating Matters

c2008 Mia… miasMarketing .com

Success… the ever sought after state of being important, relevant, inspiring, or excellent… at something.
I wish success to you… your dreams and plans, desires and goals, your efforts, and the fruit of your labor.

Happiness dissipates.  Energy dissolves.  Often suddenly and completely.  But happiness and energy are what I would call - renewables.  Okay… so I’ve watched too many commentaries on energy and being green.

Success factors that are necessary for the long haul include motivation and inspiration.  A great dream or fantastic skills are not enough.  Many people tend to be dreamers and have worked hard to obtain the skills necessary to achieve their goals or deepest desires… yet they fail.

Some go to school and pay huge sums to learn knowledge, others strive to be self taught by self study or by just doing.  But success is still elusive to many businesses.  The reason why many people fail is because someone has lost their motivation.  Motivation matters.

We all Need A Measure Of…

Success to… avoid tragedy in your personal life… like divorce
Success to… overcome the loss of a loved one
Success to… regain confidence after others have ruined ours
Success to… regain trust after it has been breached by someone we love

Motivating Matters… Ways To… Provide Success To Your Efforts
Words reveal what is in your heart and head.  Your measure of faith… your belief in yourself or your cause comes out of your mouth.  Speaking great or positive words over a matter will yield great or positive results as your actions line up with your heart.

1.  Your Words Determine Your Level Of Success

2.  Discover Your Passions.  Awaken Them.  What Moves You… Touches You… Changes You?

3.  Remove Things That Distract or Create A Loss Of Motivation
Be careful who you hang out with.  If they are not supportive or encouraging… then what do they bring to the table?

4.  You Are Accountable for Your Actions, Talents, Skills & Accomplishments
Success does not come to you!  You move toward it.

5.  Everyone Fails At Times
Don’t beat yourself up when you fall down.  Everyone does.  Just make sure that you get up better not bitter…  and learn something along the way.

Don’t give up!  You can do all that you desire to do.  Be flexible and move toward your goals.

PAIN BRINGS MOTIVATON… CHANGE… PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT BRINGS SUCCESS - 26 Tips To SuccessC2008 Mia… miasMarketing .com

Pain is often the motivating factor determining the reason why people change. Missing a work deadline can cause us to change. Debts remind us of our lack of effort in looking for a better or additional source of income. Being humiliated gives us the ‘push’ to speak up and fight for ourselves… in order to save our face from future embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that helps us get up and get the necessary strength, strong determination, and motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.

Ancient Biblical scripture states something to the effect that “when we are weak we are made strong.” I think that may apply to this discussion.

With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we keep motivated? Below I have listed 26 tips… listed from A to Z…

A - Achieve your dreams. To do so you should avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

B - Believe in yourself, and in what you can do. You have to believe in you when others are not supportive. What you believe you are… you will become.

C - Consider every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you need a proper perspective. You need to examine both sides of the coin to be fair and balanced.

D - Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than thrice, before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Celebrate each step of the journey… no matter how small or seemingly insignificant… this powers your self determination, keeping your engine running, keeping your focus pure.

E - Enjoy. Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if no one is watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy. Don’t worry… just be happy.

F - Family and Friends - are life’s greatest treasures. Don’t lose sight of them.

G - Give more than just enough. Where does motivation and self improvement take place at work? At home? At school? When you exert extra effort in doing things. In time you will begin to get rewarded for a job well done.

H - Hang on to your dreams. Drape them as a sparkling jewel. Wear your dreams daily. They may dangle in there for a moment, but these shining little stars will be your driving force and guiding light.

I - Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let other people to get the best of you. Stay away from toxic people - the kind of friends who hate to hear about your success. You know… those people who resent you.

J - Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please everyone. As you develop your inner self… are then learn to be true to your new self… others will be drawn to your success.

K - Keep trying no matter how hard life may seem to get. Everyone faces obstacles and times of stress or discouragement. Keeping your dreams before your eyes will keep you motivated. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.

L - Learn to love your self. Now isn’t that easy? You are awesome because you are!

M - Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes. You cannot sit and wait for success to happen. You must put legs to your dreams. Be a dreamer and a doer.

N - Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game. What comes around goes around. We eat the harvest that we plant. Nurture integrity in your life.

O - Open your eyes. Observe your surroundings and the people around you. Learn from their opinions and errors. But stay true to your self.

P - Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation. It lets us learn repertoire and ways how we can recover from our mistakes.

Q - Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your destiny - are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner? Be unique and win!

R - Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started, preparing and planning will keep us steady on our feet. If others try to push us around we will not fall or fal easily. Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.

S - Stop procrastinating. Stop whining… Stop the negative self talk. So just do it!

T - Take control of your life. Discipline or self control jives synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in self improvement.

U - Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first, and to be understood the second. This makes you wise and strong.

V - Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land. Visualize and dream daily. Place those pictures in your work space so that you can stay highly motivated!

W - Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is the root. You have that tiny root already in you. Grow and develop it by building on your dreams. Motivation and self improvement will follow.

X - X Factor is that special thing will make you different from all the others. When you are motivated, you tend to have energy for the “extras” in your life. You lifestyle improves providing you the extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y - You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence, because you’re just going to spend it once. You are precious and valuable… now you just have to act like it.

Z - Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

Be Blessed & Empowered to Prosper!

You need a vision, a thought, a dream, an idea… Creating the reality you desire begins in your minds eye. Everything that you can touch and see before you had to begin in the mind of a creator, designer, constructor… It takes both a dreamer and a doer to bring a product or desired lifestyle into existence.

In order to get the end result that you want to become your reality, you must first see it. If you do not first “see” it… you will wonder aimlessly and get lost in many minute details, delaying or derailing your success.

You need to know what it is that you want and where it is that you are going. If you get into a car without a planned destination… you will end up somewhere. You will end up in some elses domain, doing their thing, on their terms. You need to have a goal and a focus and a road map to get there.

Without a clear understanding of what you want and where you are going, and a road map to get there you will absolutely wind up somewhere… but will it be where you want to be?

Remember Alice In Wonderland and the Chelshire Cat?

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to walk from here?” asked Alice.

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to…” said the cat.

“I don’t much care where…” Alice said.

“Then it doesn’t much matter which way you walk,” said the cat.

You cannot jump into projects with a vague idea of where, what or how… You will wander aimlessly and your projects will be forgotten or will fail miserably.

We have to have a vision of where we want to go. Set time aside every day to visualize your success. Relax and meditate on the way it will feel to reach your goals, letting the desire for success overpower the fear or procrastination or lack of focus that destroys our dreams.

“This Is Your Life… Are You Who You Want To Be?”

c2008  Mia… miasMarketing com

I recently heard a song on a Christian radio station by a band… Hmmm, I can’t remember their name… I’ll have to ask my son.  Anyway, I’m driving down the road and the lyrics are screaming out at me… “This is your life… Are  you who you want to be?”  Over and over again that phrase repeats with electric guitars emphasizing the fact that we need to stop and think about our life, and if we are who we wanna be. 

Now, it seems that song is on the radio every time I get in my car… Or maybe it has been playing for some time, I have just gotten in tune with it, and my ears are open to… change… and wisdom.  Yeah… Wisdom from a 20 year old kid on the radio who wrote a song with a depth well beyond his own understanding.

As we get older (and hopefully wiser) we begin to adjust and tweak and see things a little bit clearer.  Our eyes may grow dim, our vison can blur, but our understanding has grown sharper and we have an opportunity to adjust our focus, as we notice what once was, is not now, and what will be is in our hands.

Take charge of… and responsibility for… your environment, your corner of the world, your business, your income, your knowledge base, your relationships… your future!  You hold the whole world in your hands.  In Sunday School we used to sing “He holds the whole world in His hands… and I know that ulitimately He does.  Thank God. 

But we cannot neglect our responsiblity and assignment to make our world a better place with the gifts, talents, monies, and wisdom that is deposited in each one of us.  Everyone is gifted in a way that requires them to bring something to the table.

I am re-adjusting some of my goals to match my values and I hope that you will find time to do the same.  Life is precious and it is a gift.  I want to use mine wisely and effectively to help those in need and I’m guessing if you stop and do any reflecting or goal setting after you read this… you will re-evaluate your situation too.

You can do all that you set out in your heart to do.  Just make sure that what your heart desires will add and not detract.  Give and not take.  Love and not hate.  Bless and not curse.  Go create wealth… and then be generous.  Get to the top of the ladder, just do not step on those beneath you.  Expand and multiply your family, your business, your net worth… then give to your community.

Sorry for the sermonette… I sound kind of preachy.  I am very mellow and content right now as I do a self inspection, hearing that tune play round and round in my head “This is your life… Are you who you want to be?”

I’m really just sharing what’s on my heart and my reason for putting it here is to encourage you to be your best.  Do your best, believe for the best and the rest will come.

Hey why don’t you leave some comments all you people out in cyberspace and share your view… I’m curious…

Who Are You… Do You Like Your Job?  What Do You Do?
How Do You Do What You Do?  Why Do You Do It?

Love To All.

PS  The band that sings that song “This is your life… Are you who you want to be?  Is SWITCHFOOT.  Had to give credit where credit was due!   ;-)  They gave me the inspiration for this blog.

Online Business… Equal Opportunity… Unbelievable Cost

Financial Freedom… You Can’t Put A Price On That

c2008 Mia… miasMarketing

It seems that many people are dissatisfied with their jobs and career choices lately. Most folks no longer have the once common promise of retiring with a “pension.” As employers scale back and scale down… and expenses rise for most households due to forces beyond their control, many people are looking to starting an online business. An online business is absolutely the opportunity of a lifetime and the miracle of the century… to be able to work from home and tap into a world wide online economy consisting of billion dollar days. The idea that one can become a business owner, with a computer and an internet connection for a mere few dollars a day is both unbelievable and remarkable… because it’s true.

I think most people understand that the internet possibly holds huge potential for them, but they can’t understand how to go about tapping into it. Obviously they can look around online for answers on their own, but the truth is they will be overwhelmed as they are surrounded by the great mountains of information.  They will chip away, trying to get the pieces necessary to fill their knowledge base, struggling to begin to be effective at actually make money online.

And it is to those people that I speak to in this post. Your first step is to decide the right type of online business for you. One of the first things that you should bear in mind when setting up an online business of any sort, is that you must treat it as just that - a business. This means that you must be prepared to put in the time and effort needed in order to reap the rewards later, even if you are only starting it as a part time venture at first.

You must also be prepared to invest some money into it. Fortunately, you do not have to start with a large amount. In fact, if you want, you can actually set it up with a very low budget! One phenomenal aspect about the online business is the unlimited earning potential of making money online, while realizing that the start up costs of running an online business are so very low compared to a traditional brick and mortar business.

The best place to begin making money online is by selecting from a business model of an existing online business. Why re-invent the wheel. You could spend a lifetime trying to figure out a system, tweaking and testing and failing… meanwhile the budget suffers and the bills keep coming. You should use a proven system that has already been successful and that has proper training materials for you to absorb and study.

I believe that affiliate marketing is a great model for anyone considering entering the online business arena. It requires very little technical skill and requires hardly nothing to implement. Maybe a startup course and a minimal monthly hosting fee. Mia’s Domain Hosting has hosting starting at $3.95 per month which is more than enough for a beginning website or blog, and domains are around $7.00 per year! That’s a pretty cheap start-up cost for a business that can help you retire in a few short years.

Of course it is not as easy as some would have you to believe… but it is doable. Just to have the opportunity to make your own hours, write your own paycheck, and call the shots… You can’t put a price on that.

Whatever online business model you decide to use… be willing to study and learn and apply yourself…
Because the sky is the limit!  You can do it!

Make Money Business Opportunity Online… Business Opportunities That Can Help You Make Extra Cash

c2008 Mia… miasMarketing .com

If you are one of the many people who find it hard to make ends meet or you want some extra cash that you can spend for yourself, then an online business is for you. Today, there are quite a lot of online business opportunities that can help you make some extra cash.  The great thing about most of businesses like this, is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money in order for you to get started.  Here are some of the available make money business opportunities online that you can take advantage of.

Make Money With Affiliate Programs

The first type of business that can help you make extra cash is affiliate programs. Affiliate programs can significantly help you earn a lot of money. In fact, some people who have tried affiliate marketing have been able to quit their day jobs in order to spend more time making money through this kind of business. The way this online business works is this… you become partners with other online businesses. 

How Affiliate Marketing Works… Creating An Online Business

In this kind of online business, you will need to create a website with a specific theme, and then enroll in an affiliate program where the theme is also related to your website. You then put the links or banners of the affiliate company on your website. For example, if your website is about shoes, then you will want to have an affiliate or partner that sells shoes and similiar accessories.

The people that will visit your website are sure to be interested in buying accessories, such as leather care products, socks, small handbags, and other accessories. You don’t actually stock the product or accessories, or even have to provide the checkout.  Buyers just click on the banner of your partner that is displayed on your website.  Once a customer purchases items from your website, you will be given a commission for the sale.

You can think of this as customer referral where you will earn a commission for every sale you refer from a customer.

What you will work hard for here is to produce the needed traffic to your web site. You need targeted traffic sent to your website… lots of it. This means that you need to work on your website in order for people to even know it exists, enter it and then make a purchase.

Try to make your website as keyword rich as possible in order for it to make the top ten pages of a particular search result.

Don’t Expect To Get Rich Answering Surveys

Another way to make money online is through online paid surveys. Here, you will get paid to fill out surveys. You need to remember that large companies today want to know what people think about their products and services. And therefore they are willing to pay for your opinion. You could try joining an online survey website where you will be able to make some extra cash from submitting surveys with your opinions. It doesn’t take a whole lot of time, and it is very easy to do. You don’t even have to ever have a website.  You just have to be willing to answer long surveys of questions over and over.  However, don’t expect to get rich by doing surveys.

Web Site Traffic From A Press Release Benefits Online Business

Get Web Site Traffic - What To Include In A Powerful, Effective, Press Release 
c 2008 Mia… miasMarketing
You may ponder and think… I need fast web site traffic… I need a Press Release!

“What makes a good Press Release? How do I put a Press Release together? Do I need to pay an outside firm or source or can I do this myself”

I will try to answer your questions in a logical way. First of all, you do NOT need to pay a PR firm, or outsource the task of creating your business Press Release… unless, of course, that is your style of working and you have a big budget.

There is no faster, more efficient, effective way to drive loads of interested, curious traffic to your website, blog or squeeze page. There are many methods to get web site traffic, but it is humanly impossible to single handedly do them all, do them all well, and do them all well, consistently. I didn’t say that to discourage you, but to encourage you… to find the ways that prove effective for you and that work within your particular niche, industry, time frame and style.

A Press Release gets ranked very quickly on Google and can drive hordes of traffic to your web site. Below I have a few guidelines to help you write the most exciting, effective, and professional Press Release possible, helping your brick and mortar or online business grow quickly.

A Good Press Release Will Bring Web Site Traffic

It is important to follow these guidelines very closely. Do not try to “Beat The System.” The rules do rule, and they need to be obeyed if you want your Press Release published, especially offline. For example, “More Is Not Better” when it comes to the size of your traffic blazing Press Release.

How To Put Together A Powerful Press Release… Rules And Guidelines

Do Not Write A Press Release That Is Too Long
You are driving traffic to your web site… you are not writing a book or special report.Your news or announcement should be as short as possible. This is accomplished by putting power packed potent descriptive words in each sentence. Your Press Release should be around 500 words and generally be within 2 or 3 paragraphs. You must also use clear headlines that summarize the entire Press Release.

Write Your Press Release In “Third Person”
Write as though you are a reporter. You are talking about the latest breaking news. When one writes a news release, they should not (hmmm) have a vested interest in the news. Write your Press Release a a third person observing and reporting on an event or fact, from a neutral perpective.

Use “Quoting” To Bring Credibility
Visitors, increasing your web site traffic will be more likely if you have credible sources. Write as though you are quoting industry professionals, using phrases like “according to Mr. So of Company XYZ…̶
