To Your Success,

P.S. If you are looking for some Online Marketing Secrets or would like to learn more about
Affiliate Marketing. Get my FREE Report on “Building Your Empire…One Product At A Time.”

Affiliate Marketing is quickly developing into one of the number 1 approaches to
making money online. With Affiliate Marketing you will probably have to
discover some new ways of thinking but with a little effort it is totally likely
to reach your objectives and goals.

The awesome thing about Affiliate Marketing is that quickly you will be
able to turn your life around and the lives of others. This suggests that
that even if you are new and never operated online before you will be able to
get started from scratch with.... no brand name.... no internet site..... and not
having to write a single word. This in itself is the most significant draw into the
Affiliate Marketing world.

Nowadays, I am not one that considers all the hard sell and fluff. I want to
hear the realities and get right to the purpose of the project. But I also
know that there are those out there that would like to read all the facts
to come to the right evaluation of the product or service that
they are interested in. 

So I will try to get right to the issue, while at the same time be contributing
the essential details that I know that you need know to get a jump start in
your new online business. 

For the new fans just getting started, Affiliate Marketing is the most
appropriate way to go. It permits you to labor on your own  time while
benefiting from other peoples work and resources. During this time, it
will give you a good assumption on what it is like
to work online and be in an internet based business. 

Affiliate Marketing is an “Attaining while Learning” concept. This is why it is very
impressive to most all of us in the online marketing community. 

So, lets look at a couple of ideas to keep in mind when you are first starting out:


 	1.Know your intended prospect.... This is really the digging in period. You will
               want to know who you are selling to and what are their needs. In short...giving 
	 people what they want and need to be successful. Many new affiliates slip-up by
               trying to sell the wrong product to the wrong prospects. So do yourself a favor and
               spend some time investigating....to know your niche market.

	2.Know the characteristic of your affiliate products.....This is a big one..
              Products and Services are being improved on almost immediately. So you do
             need to look at the... Quality of the Products...many offer the “Moon while only
             delivering Dirt”.  It is always recommended to examine the product first before
             recommending it to others. Not only will this improve your credibility and sales, you
             will be able to give your new client some  detailed and special suggestions about the
             product.... which will transform your personal credit standings. 

	3.READ through the sales letter.....Put yourself in your customer's shoes. Would
           you willing  to invest your hard earned money from what this cover letter implies?
           Does it answer the question that you might have...such as.... what's this product all
           about, and what final results might you expect? Also, I would encourage you to
           double check for spelling errors, you would not believe how many sales letters I have
           spent time reading, only to find many  missed spelled words or grammar errors, that
           could of easily been corrected.  Keep in mind as an Affiliate your name is on this
           product or service just like the developers so make sure that you can approve it and
           recommend it.

	4.Does the developer have advertising materials for you to use...... Most
           affiliate programs supply you with the materials needed for the marketing process.
           Since most of these tools are already provided for you, you can then focus your
           attention and energies on your chosen marketing activities.

Affiliate Marketing is one of the best ways to begin your online marketing business. It
will get you moving quickly plus will put money in your  pocket to achieve the results
that you are striving for. To get going and find out more facts about the “How To's”...
join an Affiliate Marketing Network or Forum that will offer you top quality service
and give you the guidance and knowledge that you will be needing as you
begin your new journey.

• Affiliate Mistakes That Must Be Avoided At All Costs (ronmedlin.com)

Link-bait techniques are gaining momentum. It is becoming the new Buzz Word online. Link-Baiting is being passed around many SEO communities . Though it is not widely used as of yet or even understood, many Search-Engines, Experts and Gurus in the field tend to think of it as an effective way to build the link traffic that we are all so hungry for. It can be used as a technique to gain ranking or a by-product of producing good quality content, either way Link-Baiting is a process that has been around and is gaining the reputation for acquiring top quality leads.

But what is Link-baiting exactly, and how does it fit into the SEO techniques that we hear about today?

Link baiting is the practice of creating useful or compelling content that will lure links naturally to a website. It’s fun, it’s trendy, and it can produce very big search-engine-optimization results. Link baiting is an indirect form of building links.

Mostly….If you are able to write at least interesting content and learn to submit it to good quality sites, with the right sort of fields and to the right readers….You can product a great amount of traffic for your site through your articles.

The days of studying keyword densities and trading links might be a thing of the past some experts say but even still we will all have to develop the ability to write good quality content with words that stand out (Keywords) that our readers are typing in the everyday search engines.

While SEO marketing will evolve into a more interactive branch of conventional marketing. We will find that it will become more inter-graded into the Social Networking scene of the day.

What was once the most effective way to improve rankings…Soliciting links using link-exchanges, Link-Bait is the newer technique in the link-building world. The new social bookmarking sites further leverage and illustrate the power of link bait. Does it have the makings of viral marketing only repackaged in a new silvery package? Something to think about…..

So lets dive into the 5 Amazing Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Link Bait.

• The Marketing Goal of link bait is to increasing the quantity of external links rather than visits and sales. These links will improve the site’s search-engine rankings and result in increased organic search visits and sales over time. Any direct click through visits or sales driven by the link bait are icing on the cake.
• Resource Link Bait
  A resource is truly useful content or tools that visitors link to for their own future use as well as their readers’ benefit. Successful resources tend to incorporate at least one visual, a video, or some form of interactivity. Resources tend to attract target customers that can convert to traffic and sales as well as links, and tend to strengthen brand recognition. However, creating a great resource requires more research, audience analysis, planning and development than simple hooks.
• Widgets as Link Bait
  Widgets are one of the hottest resource types, because they have a “cool factor.” And, when they provide eye candy and/or value, bloggers love to add them to their navigation channels. Widgets made for bloggers’ use can contain an HTML wrapper with a crawl able link back to the e-commerce site and optimized anchor text.
• Incentive Link Bait
  In link bait terms, incentives are a promise to deliver something special beyond the content on the page, typically in exchange for personal information or promotion of some type. Contests, secret sales, promotional offers, scholarships and awards all work as incentives. The chance of winning something (even something very small) is typically enough to entice a blogger or social network user to link or spread the word for you. For example, household products service Alice.com works small contests and promotions brilliantly via its blog and social profiles. Small campaigns like these can be quickly and easily thrown together or repackaged from other marketing channels.
• Humor Link Bait
  People love to laugh and make others laugh. This hook is deceptively simple, just be funny or give others a forum in which to be funny on your site. Keep in mind, however, that humor varies widely with personal tastes. In addition, management, legal and other internal teams may find humor undignified or too risky for an e-commerce site or a company’s brand.

Link-Baiting is fast becoming the wave of the future. So lets begin to learn how to implement this somewhat newer strategy and develop the content that will draw in the links and attract the customers to our sites.

Unconscious Barriers….Are They Holding You Back From Fulling Your Dreams

Why is is so hard for most of us to move forward and into the life that we desire?

Have you ever felt like you are being left behind? That life in some way is passing you by….That everyone else is moving forward and getting wiser but you cant say the same for yourself.

Know matter how hard you try to get over______, you find yourself always going back to it, like a comfortable blanket, or those soft comfy clothes that you wouldn’t wear in public.

Here is an article that Describes 10 Barriers to your personal growth, that I thought would help us out on our journey.

Hope you enjoy

Congratulations….you have the initial stages of Life Freedom…Time Management…and Hopes and Dreams at your fingertips

But now what to do and how to begin…

One word of encouragement is that we have all started in your exact shoes. Maybe our circumstances are different, that caused us to be here today but we all had to learn the same stuff as you will have to learn. The difference is some put in the time to learn and others give up because it sometimes can be overwhelming.

So my advice is Don’t Give Up…Just keep doing some every day and on the days that you feel overwhelmed…Take a break and walk away for awhile. When you come back your mind will be fresh and able to comprehend again.

No one just knows all the technical jargon and the how to’s in the internet world. It is a learning process, so just focus your mind and learn at your own pace BUT don’t stop. You might not make it to the top like some claim, in a month, but you will make it if you don’t give up. So let’s begin….

This is a business that takes time and involvement it is not for those lazy people or cheaters who think that you can come up with one idea and make it big. This business is always evolving and as a leader you need to be evolving with it.

One of first thoughts that I want you to recognize is that you cannot find a single successful person who made themselves into a well-known, respected authority in any niche (online or off) without a single original thought or idea of their own. They were willing to put in the work and take the risk because of the vision that they had for their life.

Authority site owners are people who have sacrificed something to be where they are today..….Time, money, sleep, social life, or whatever.

Not a single successful website has ever been created by someone who didn’t work every day to make it successful.

So whats the first step….You need  to start your own Blog.

If you are marketing on the web and you don’t have a blog, you will always be beaten down by your competition. You cannot get ahead by using the tools of Web 2.0 without a blog, period. If you are going to do all the work involved with plugging into Web 2.0 and harnessing the traffic-driving, ranking-raising power of social marketing, I believe it is a shame to waste time on anything other than the best such as a WordPress Self-Hosted Blog. This will allow you to run the widgets, plugins and do the SEO work you need to do while improving your traffic flow and user experience.

There are many plugins that will allow you to do almost anything to and through your blog…

But a…

Wordpress Plugins You Must Have to Get WAY more subscribers to your Blog is….

“What Would Seth Godin Do?”

This plugin will definitely help you get more RSS feed subscribers.

What This Plugin Does…

Generates a message based on cookies to your first-second-third-time visitors to remind them to subscribe to your feed. People will only see this message as many times as you set the plugin to show them, then it gets out of the way.

So if you set it for 3 visits, on the 4th visit they won’t see the plug for your feed.

You can put it at the top or bottom of your posts and it is so easy to install and configure.

Make It A Great One…

Article Marketing has been around for some time. We have all witnessed it  in Magazines and even some Newspaper Ads, promoting Articles to sell a particular product or idea.  While this form of Advertising has been around, we are seeing it used more and more within the   online community.

Most Advertising does cost us something. An Advertising Budget can help us build our online presence faster while learning the tips and strategies to stay within that Budget. But what happens when we are starting online and we know that we need to do some form of advertising BUT we really do not have any advertising budget. We are then forced to look for other ways to get our information out in front of as many as possible.

Article Marketing is one of those Free Forms of Advertising. But one thing to remember is that Article Marketing while it is free in the monetary sense it does cost in the form of Time.

So if you have the time to put into this form of Advertising and wish to build a big online presence… this is a great way to begin. Article Marketing will build your business, plus develop you as a leader and mentor in the online circuit. Article Marketing will also building your link popularity and credibility of your site.

You will then find it much easier to make money online  if you have built up a good reputation and relationship with your potential customer before you try to sell them on a idea or strategy that you are promoting.

By providing value within the articles that you produce, you’ll be establishing yourself as a trusted authority on the keywords, niches or subjects that you’re writing about. When readers recognize they can count on you for real, honest info, they just keep coming back for more.

The Golden Rule of Zig Ziglar; You can have everything in life that you want…If you will help enough people get what they want…

We are all in the selling business in one shape or another. You can think of yourself as a person just trying to get ahead and not the salesman type….But at one time or another we try to get people to see things our way or to come over to our way of thinking…And that in its most basic forms is SELLING.

Most people that you encounter in the Home-Based Business Network or in most MLM Opportunities all have a thing or two in common. Yes they feel that they are taking control of their lives by bettering their future but what I also have found is that most of them have a HOPE in something bigger than themselves.

Their Enthusiasm and a Positive Attitude for the journey that they are embarking on, is part of their driving force.

While having a Positive Attitude, being Enthusiastic, engaging in Hope, and a genuine desire to help others, many in the Home-Based Business or MLM Community forget the fact that….time is needed to develop the skills necessary to achieve the success that they so desperately desire.

We sometimes think that we have it all together but developing the people skills needed to become a success can take some time if it is not in your personality.

Another aspect is the ability to develop the presentation skills and learning to lead with value instead of just jumping in with both feet and not know how deep the water might be.

Most people who fail in their dreams fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment.

Develop the skills necessary to be a true professional and a person that people enjoy being around. Develop the skills of putting the other person first and a true desire to help them achieve their dreams. Please just don’t do the lip service thing….we have heard it said…”People don’t care how much you know…till they know how much you care.”

So when you decide to DO whatever it takes to acquire these qualities, you will end up like many others before you. Achieving their dreams and living a true life of freedom.

Hope in today’s society is the number one issue that needs Encouragement….Encouragement is to Hope as vital as Oxygen is to the Soul. Encouragement is the FUEL to Hope.

“Ninety-five percent of the people who hear, understand, and agree with a principle do not have the ability to apply it… because they do not have the necessary resources and emotional strength to attain and retain this new concept. “                                     Stanford University

Why does motivation change some people permanently and others only temporarily?

Motivation is only Temporary….it is like eating, once you’ve eaten a great meal…you feel like you can never eat another bite, you are so stuffed you are feeling miserable and you promise yourself that you will never do that again…then about 3-4 or 5 hours later you find yourself hungry again. This is a guarantee…Our bodies need fuel to survive.

Just the same as our Motivations and our Hopes they need to be watered daily if not some days minute by minute.

Why is it that many people start on a project, and begin to see how it can benefit their lives, they get all excited because they are beginning to achieving some great results, ONLY…. after a period of time they begin to revert back to their old “Settling” lifestyle…Reverting back to their old way of thinking and soon to their old way of living.

We hear a great idea, read a great quote, and watch a great and inspiring video and we say “I can do that”….. So then the adventure begins. Then out of the blue we are caught unaware and we encounter a negative situation…

Whether its…

• There’s so much to learn,,,
• We don’t have the time…
• People don’t believe in us…
• Its taking to long…
• What ever the excuse…we lose our enthusiasm and passion and we are back to square one.

Passion is described in the Dictionary as “a strong emotion, an ardent love, zeal, an eager desire.”

Men and women that have reached the mountaintops of their success, have a passion for life and are willing to give it their all and be the best that they can be. They are willing to pay the price in their own character, values and outlook to achieve the results that they know are theirs for the taking.

“Misdirected passion ultimately becomes an obsession, and there is a substantial difference between having a “passion” for something and being “obsessed” with something. Passion is positive, controllable, and tremendously energizing. An obsession is negative and destructive. The person with a passion for what he or she does becomes a perk performer. Those who have an obsession with it become workaholics. People with a passion do what they are doing out of love for the people they’re doing it for and for the results they expect to obtain. The person with an obsession, who becomes a workaholic, will work out of fear and or greed or denial.”                                            Zig Ziglar

• Mike Robbins: Love Your “Flaws” (huffingtonpost.com)

Hopefully if you’re reading this article…you have pondered a dream or two at one time or another. You might of found yourself day-dreaming while in the middle of a hectic day when life seems out of control, you might of found yourself staring into your computer screen, not really getting anything accomplished. Or while stopped at a light and your mind drifts off to another time.

Your mind begins to wander…thinking of a day when….thinking of something else you could be doing…all the while you feel trapped with no where to go.

Of course you HAVE to work to get the pay check for your family. To help pay for the Braces, House, Food, Y Membership, Cars. All of these are just a fact of life today, but I would like you to take a minute and think of…. The What Ifs.

What if… you were able to open that store that you always dreamed of…

What if you could take a class or two, to work towards that degree that you always wanted…

What if you could find a way to make a good living while staying at home…

What ideas for a new product are swimming around you mind?

What product needs to be created to make your life easier along with millions of others?

In your minds eye…what does your best days look like…what would you be doing differently?

I ask all these questions to get you to DREAM again.

As we become adults our DREAMS vanish…The reality of LIFE takes over and one day we can look up and 10 years have gone by. And then we realize that we are still in the Same Job doing the Same Thing with no where to go from here.

Well I say…Lets start a REVOLUTION …..Within our mind and our lives….. Let’s begin to give ourselves the time and permission to DREAM again. Begin to ask yourselves some of the questions above.

• Flood you mind with thoughts of the possible,

• Stir the waters of your thinking.

• Open the Dam and let all the Dreams and Hopes…. that have buried deep within you, begin to come alive again.

As life moves on and we get into our routines, getting up at the same time, eating the same types of foods, driving the same route everyday, doing the same work day in and day out.

The biggest challenge and struggle that we all have to deal with is Complacency. We get comfortable in our daily routines… The routines that get us to work on time, the routines that get the kids off to school, just the daily things that we do without even thinking about it.

As time continues on we develop a RUT, the more we walk the same path the Rut gets deeper and deeper till one day we realize that we can not see anything around us… because we are so deep into our own RUT.

Break FREE today….Break free from the Subtleness of Complacency.

Let your mind DREAM, stare out that window, listen to the birds sing, sit in a quiet place even for just a moment and let the possibilities flow.

You will become a better person, with an excitement for life again, and an awe and wonder of the possibilities that are before you.

Life will take a turn for the better….Starting with your DREAMS

leadership traits

As we are developing into Tomorrows Leaders, into the leaders that our teams need as well as our families, I would like us to look at a couple of Leadership Traits that I believe are necessary as we move forward in that direction.

First let me say that many people claim to be leaders, many claim that they have all the leadership traits and qualities that are needed and that they should be the one being followed….but the truth is…no one is following them.

One of the greatest victories that any leader can accomplish is victory over self. This is an everyday occurrence and a battle that is won in the minutes and hours of the day….not just in the great decisions that need to be made.

Every day we need to be working on our selves and battle the temptation to think of ourselves more highly than we are. Learning the lessons on leadership is not always easy. Most of the time the lessons that we are trying to instill into others are the same lessons that we had to learn the hard way. But I would say that this makes us more approachable and sensitive to the issues that others are facing.

Plato said it best when he said, “The first and best victory is to conquer self.”  Ralph Stayer, president of Johnsonville Foods, wrote: “In most situations, I am the problem. My mentalities, my pictures, my expectations form the biggest obstacles to my success.”

Many times our enemy lies within. Who we are determines how we see others. If we can get our act together then we will be in a position to help others.

An interesting thought is…we don’t see others as they are we see them as we are…if I am an untrusting person…then I will see you as untrusting. If I am a negative person tending to look at the negative instead of the positive, then I see you as a negative person…(and two negatives repel each other).

As a leader if I can fix myself first, if I can get victory for Donna Rios then the odds are higher that I will be able to help fix others also.

If I can’t fix myself, the odds are high I will never be able to add value to and help others. So developing ourselves, doing the soul searching, and looking in the mirror will always help us be better people and leaders for the ones doing the following.

People who are unaware of who they are and what they do and how they respond often damage relationships with others.

People in leadership have a tendency to examine someone else and ask the question…what is wrong with that person? Why aren’t they jumping on board? Why can’t they see the bigger picture? Why are they always complaining? This is the way most leaders react because it is easy to teach Leadership skills but it is much Harder to Model Leadership Qualities…..

Our actions and words will eventually point us toward having a reputation for having integrity or not. As business people…desiring to make a difference…desiring to leave our mark, our position requires us to be more alert, more careful and more empathetic than ever before.

People are looking for a leader. Will you be able to rise to the challenge? Will you put the time in to develop yourself into the best person that you can be?

Some questions to consider…..

Make it a great one my friends,

Do what you love and have fun…
