January 22, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
What is the best way to increase your online sales? How can I promote my website for free? What are the benefits of article marketing? Does article marketing work? These are questions that I am asked on a regular basis and are questions that I will be answering in this article.
I am a businessman from the UK who has various websites to promote the services that I provide. I am involved in providing a powerful stuttering therapy service as well as with a company that sell affordable front doors. I have always been interested in trying to gain as many visitors to the websites as possible, through ethical means. Originally I entrusted the help of other people as I was not exactly an expert in web promotion or web marketing. As it turned out neither were they, despite their claims of being an SEO expert.
After some particularly bad experiences with these so called experts of the SEO industry and after wasting a great deal of money I decided to attempt to educate myself on the art of web promotion. This was about seven years ago and one of the first things I was to learn was about the power of article marketing. I started to write articles and was astonished with the results, I was gaining additional traffic that were coming directly from the articles and the websites were also obtaining higher search engine rankings.
Article marketing has stood the test of time and is still as beneficial today as it was seven years ago. Article marketing is a free form of web promotion which is a major benefit to the small businessman!
I aim to write an average of one article per day and have managed to do this for the last two and a half years, the results speak for themselves.

Everyday I get distracted from my important tasks, emails arrive in my inbox promising the latest and greatest methods for making money online, and even though I know I shouldn’t, I read them!
And after reading them, I sit and contemplate their content. Will they work?Should I Purchase it? It’s so easy to get distracted.
Yet I know that my own Niche Marketing Strategy works and will make me a lot of money if I stay focused on it! But my natural impatience to achieve my goals continually distracts me as I search for get rich quick fixes that don’t exist!
If you’re going to make lots of money online or in any other business:
§ YOU need to have a PLAN of action
§ YOU need to FOCUS on implementing your plan
§ YOU need to have the DISCIPLINE to stick to your plan …
Staying focused and disciplined is immensely difficult to do. I’ve made some decent money this year, but I know I could have made more if I’d been more structured, but it’s not easy to give up searching for that elusive golden nugget of information that will bring instant riches!
If you want to be rich, mirror what the millionaires do … they formulate a plan and stick to it. They set goals and do whatever it takes to achieve them.They cut out all distractions and stay to what they believe will bring the desired results.When they achieve the results they want, they repeat it again and again!
To stay focused on achieving your Big Goals, you need to set specific time aside to complete your tasks.It is important tha during these times, you must ensure that interruptions and distractions are a minimum… DO NOT read emails and DO NOT answer the phone, DO NOT leave the radio on or have the tv on in the background … all these will distract you and take away your focus.
Your plan needs to include specific short term tasks that give you clear focus, and it needs to have short term targets that are achievable.Attaining you goals will greatly inflate your focus … and your belief.
And finally, to ensure your are focused during your available project time, ALWAYS keep your latest written or printed plan on your desk, so that as soon as you sit down, you know exactly what you need to achieve … this is another must do thing if you’re to succeed quickly!

March 8, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
Many bloggers believe they don’t need to SEO optimize their blog because they don’t understand how search engines work and how important it is for their blogs to rank high for their chosen keywords. Failing to bring in targeted traffic is one reason many bloggers stop trying to make money online and go off doing something else.
If they understood how easy it was to SEO optimize their blog post, they just might get the free organic traffic they need to be successful. All it takes is just three simple steps. These three steps can increase visitors which can be the difference in a blog that creates its owner little if any income or one that becomes a great source of additional income.
Follow this advice to SEO optimize every blog post you post and take advantage of free targeted Internet users.
To begin with, you should make sure your article addresses are search engine compatible. With a blog platform like BlogSpot, this is automatically done for you. WordPress blogs need a little work. If you use the WordPress blogging platform, then set your url structure so that WordPress will produce SEO friendly url’s when you write a post.
To do this in WordPress is to click on the Permalinks tab, and check the button next to the Custom field. Next you’ll put a percentage sign followed by the words Postname. {Immediately after the words postname, Now} put another percent symbol. You’ve now ensured that all your post will have SEO friendly post.
The most important tip on SEO optimizing your blog is to put the keyword in the Title of your blog. For example, if you’re blogging about ways to earn extra cash, then you’ll want these keywords in your Blog’s title. What you don’t want to do is put unrelated keywords in your Title. By using the keywords in the Title, then you’ll rank higher than if you name it Johns Blog.
The next requirement is to use your keywords in your Post’s title. If you’re targeting people to come to your post about ebay to earn money, then put the keywords in the post title. Forget about using non relevant titles like How I Make Money With Auctions. The search engines won’t know what your post is about and the search engine traffic you need won’t appear. This is especially important if you’re trying to make money with Adsense.
By following this advice, you will be helping the Search Engines know what your post and blog are about. By taking a little extra time and making it easy for them to understand what subject your blog post is about, they’ll rank your blog higher in their listings.
Building links to each of your optimized post is the last step in dominating the search engine rankings with your blog post. But alas, there isn’t enough room here to go ito the details of link building. Learn how to optimize your blog and blog post first before taking on link building.
