Woo Hoo it is Monday, I hope you add an awesome weekend 
Well as usual I spent WAY too much time on Pinterest, I can’t believe how addicting it is. I just have so much fun pinning stuff and looking at others pins and most importantly is the way it forces my mind into a “Creative” mode.
I get SOoooo many ideas hanging out over there, not just for recipes, crafts and whatnot’s but also new niches, product creation ideas and etc. It is incredible and I really LOVE it!! (more…)
Have you noticed it yet? If not do a search and see what comes up, BUT make sure you are signed into your google account first or it won’t work.
This google change is even bigger than Panda, if you can believe that!!
My feelings are still up in the air about it. I guess I just need to spend a few days and play around with it.
This Google , called “Search, Plus Your World” update has just become more personal. The new search allows Robot’s to incorporate data from your social network along with public internet, when delivering results of a search.
This algorithm is one of the most radical changes EVER created by Google. This new search is supposed to make life a lot easier for most users, allowing them to find privately shared content for family and friends, along with materials from across the web, all in one single search.
With all the competition online the demand for long tail keywords can be hard to find.

With the New Year here it is the PERFECT time to set your goals for 2012. Have you done that yet?
You can’t aim at something that is not there. Just going over it in your head does not count. They need to be written down SPECIFICALLY on paper.
I am sure you have felt like pulling your hair out sometimes trying to figure out how in the heck to get some kind of daily routine that is nice and easy.
What you need is a daily routine that becomes a habit. You do it first thing everything single morning without fail.
BEFORE checking your emails, facebook, or ANYTHING else. You need to eat that frog so to speak. (more…)
One very common question that I get all the time when I recommend to students how much to charge for their services, is this:
“Why would anyone pay me so much for something so easy?”
For example like installing an autoresponder or create a QR Code and etc. However what they fail to remember is that their clients aren’t actually paying for that simple install, they are paying for your knowledge and how your “small and simple” service adds to their bottom line.
It might only take you 10 minutes to install an aweber optin form to their website but stop and think just how many customers contacts that will collect with that simple little action that YOU did over the next 10 year and etc. It is truly immeasurable!
I came across these FANTASTIC article at mashable this morning that will explain this better
Are you as confused as I was when I first started looking into Google+?
I was so used to Facebook and was resisting Google+ but then I came to realize that Google was not just going to sit back and let Facebook take over this area of the internet. So I decided to dive in and low and behold, I actually started enjoying it WAY more than Facebook. There is WAY less privacy invasion going on which is AWESOME!!
I hope you really enjoy this infographic that I had made for you:) (more…)
Howdie I trust you are having a ROCKING day? If not than change what you are focusing on right now and take a minute to read this as it can change your life if you allow it too AND take action!
Are you branding yourself as an expert or just another Sally internet marketer?
Branding yourself keeps you current in your arena, opens doors for you, and creates a lasting impression on your clients. By developing your own brand, you’ll have control over people’s initial perception.
If you don’t brand yourself in the way that you want then someone else will come to their own quick conclusions. This may or may not be true and the professional that you are.
Why should you be list building?
List building is the most effective marketing method because almost everyone use emails. In most forms, both online and offline, you are asked for an email address so that the information is sent to you almost instantly.
List building is also known as permission based marketing, because you can’t send emails to everyone because it is illegal. Asking for permission to send emails is not new in the field of email marketing.
If you are able to collect thousands of email subscribers on your mailing list whom is interested in your products then it will give you a very high return on your investment.
Here are some widely used methods to list building!
1. Websites are the mostly used tool for building email lists. Website owners use opt-in forms to capture email addresses and putting subscribers to their lists.
2. To get more traffic, webmasters also take help of newspaper, online advertisements, TV and radio. They also offer rewards to those who bring people to their websites also known as affiliate marketing.
3. Giving away free stuff is the most common way of getting subscribers. You can offer free reports, ebooks, videos, tutorials, music and plugins to get people on your list.
4. Offering freebies is a double-edged sword. If the people don’t like your stuff, they will immediately opt out of your list and won’t come back. But if they like your stuff, then you will be able to win immediate trust of them. Please remember that building a relationship is extremely important!
5. People generally swap lists. It means you ask your subscribers to opt-in to your partners list and he will also do the same for you. It is useful when both of you only a small number of subscribers have and are in complimentary niches.
Opt-in list building is fabulous!
Email marketing is spreading really fast especially in the offline world. It truly is replacing postal mail. You don’t have to put long physical addresses, you don’t have to pay postage charges and the best thing is that the message is delivered within seconds.
Promotional emails are being used to deliver the contents. In the world where people avoid printing, emails are also playing a role to save paper and environment.
Opt-in marketing is a surefire way to send your message only to the targeted people who are interested in your product. Yes! You save a lot of money by avoiding advertising to those who don’t bother about your product.
List Building Fast!
To create your email list fast, you must have a website. Creating a website is really simple. For less than $10/month you can have your website running 24/7.
Some websites are just the work of cut and paste. If you search on the net then there are thousands of FREE templates out there which can be used to make professional websites.
Thousands of companies are there who are ready to give you free hosting and auto responder services. My personal favorite is Aweber. By having your own website, you can ask your visitor to register with your website and enter his or hers email address to be kept updated.
Make your opt-in procedure hassle free for the subscribers. Some of the webmasters make it too difficult to subscribe by putting unnecessary presells. If you seems too pushy to the subscribers then they won’t subscribe to your list.
If you can find a partner to create opt-in lists with you then it will be great! An experienced internet marketer can help you a lot with its experience.

Recent trends in permission based marketing!
As the trend of online marketing is increasing so the internet marketers are expected to have skills and knowledge using which they can grow their share of market. Getting subscribers has become a more challenging task now.
The demand for free tutorials, reports and e-books have increased too much. A lot of companies are there who are providing their subscribers the required stuff free of cost. Big companies providing great products free of cost has harden the marketing task for the small internet marketers.
Big companies subscribers are getting emails on daily basis. These emails include:
- Updates in the company.
- News about the new products.
- Changing policies.
- New features in the existing products.
- Promotion & marketing.
- Appointment of affiliates.
- Awards won.
Becoming an expert list builder!
To be successful in your area, you need to be an expert list builder. Whether you are an expert or not will be estimated from your contents. Before you write about anything, do a proper research about that topic. Write as many articles as possible. Take the help of forums to gain more knowledge about the topic.
Don’t write anything you don’t know about just to send your subscribers. Stick with your niche and the needs of your subscribers.
To show that you are an expert, join forums and give people recommendations using the knowledge you’ve about the topic. When you feel that people trust you and you are getting reputation then ask people to join your list to gain more.
Don’t hesitate in asking help from other marketers in your niche. Don’t think of them as competition. I like to think of them as partners instead and have brainstorming sessions and such.
Keeping your subscribers happy!
Keeping your subscribers on your list is a difficult task. To write interesting emails, providing valuable contents and keeping your subscribers happy is a difficult task. People can unsubscribe from your list if they find that you’re not offering anything valuable.
In closing, always remember that this is all about building relationships and trust. Don’t EVER treat you subscribers badly or take them for granted. If you do it will certainly end your all your list building efforts overnight.
Cheers my friends and have a fabulous day!!
