So you’re writing articles and posting them to your blogs. The question now is, how do you get your literary work in front of interested readers? There are a few different ways to accomplish this task.
One resource to submit your blog site to is FeedAgg.com. This is a one time submission per blog site. FeedAgg is a form of RSS, or Really Simple Syndication. This means that once your site has been submitted, it will update here automatically as you add new “feeds” or pages. It is then available for public viewing sorted by category and subject matter.
Another way you can bookmark your site is to install a button on your browser bar for a site called Stumbleupon. This installs a button with a thumbs up or thumbs down icon. When you stumble upon a web site that you like, you click the thumbs up icon. You choose a category for the site and type a brief review and it is bookmarked in the Stumbleupon library. The advantage of this feature is that you can use it to improve the popularity of your own web sites and blogs by clicking the thumbs up icon when you visit your own site!
Other services that work very similarly to each other are Delicious.com, Propeller.com and Digg.com. These require you to set up login information before bookmarking sites. These services are also designed to bookmark your individual blog posts rather than a single submission per blog. Each time you write a new page you want to submit to these services with the URL containing the specific post title. For easy submission to over 130 other bookmarking sites, visit Google’s socialmarking.com page and follow the instructions on the page.
Once you’ve completed all of your social bookmarking submissions, be sure to go to Pingomatic.com. Type in your blog post URL and with the click of a button send a ping to multiple internet services to let them know you have a new post to share!
Cheers to your success!

Blog Your Way to Success – The Hottest Trend in Internet Marketing
These days the buzz in internet marketing is all about blogging. If you’re familiar with the internet or other people who use it frequently, you’ve probably heard the term “blog.” Maybe you shrugged it off as one of those social network sites where people just post random information about their hobbies or interests. That is certainly one purpose for using a blog. However, blogging has also become one of the hottest marketing tools on the internet today.
There are several ways to use blogs to inform people about you and your business, and get them to visit your other web sites.
First, the search engines recognize your blog in the same way they recognize other web sites. They will base their search ranking on keywords that you use in your titles and content, how often you add content and whether what you post is original and relevant. So the more frequently you post and the higher quality information you add, the more likely your blog will show up in the search results.
Second, you have the ability to write a bio associated with your blog site. This is where you can give your visitors some personal information about yourself, your business and the link to any other web sites you may be promoting. You can also display URL links in your signature whenever you make a new post.
A third way to use blogs to gain recognition is to post comments to other people’s blogs. This increases your exposure and the opportunity for people to go check out your pages and your other related web sites.
Finally, the search engines are very favorable to web sites that have a lot of quality inbound links. When you put your other web URL’s in your blog signatures or bio data sections, you are automatically creating a new link to your other sites. This will cause “link popularity” and help move your related sites higher in the search engine results.
There are other creative things you can do with your blog, depending on which services you use and whether you use free or paid blogging. For example, Google has their own blog called Blogger.com. You can use it absolutely free, and install Google ads on it so that if visitors click on the ads, you recieve a commission for each ad clicked. Word Press is another popular blogging service. You can also put ads on your Word Press blogs, but only if you upgrade to a paid subscription. You can have multiple blogs with either service, and you can blog to more than one service if you like.
With blogging being such a popular internet activity, there are many sites that you can join and start blogging your way to success. Check them out and see which ones fit your personality and blogging needs the best.
Cheers to your success!

Use Your Creative Skills to Write Articles and Enhance Your Credibility
How often do you communicate through writing? Do you write letters? Do you send emails? Do you consider yourself a proficient and conscientious communicator?
We all know that the most effective form of communication is face to face. There are a lot of situations where this is not possible or practical. Many times we have little choice but to “talk” to someone through writing.
Perhaps you already have some basic writing skills that you could apply towards writing articles for on-line magazines, or ezines. The reason for doing this is to introduce yourself and indirectly your business to other marketers on the internet. Submitting ezine articles can be a very inexpensive and effective way to gain exposure and ultimately drive traffic to your web site and your business.
You want to make sure that you are submitting articles to reputable ezine distributors, not just anyone. One such service is Ezinearticles.com. Not only can you set up a fairly extensive profile there so your readers can get to know more about you, but they also offer a very comprehensive email training program to help gain or enhance whatever writing skills you already have. They give specific tips for making your article submissions as effective as possible, from how to write the title to what to include in your signature box.
As with any professional service there are rules and guidelines to follow. They really aren’t unreasonable however, and by sticking to the rules you should have no problem getting your articles published and viewed by curious fellow marketers.
One of the biggest advantages you can give yourself is learning how to write effective ad copy and sales letters. Make sure you review the submission guidelines for each distributor, and tell your readers as much about yourself in your profiles as possible.
Some other services to consider are ArticlesBase.com, I-snare.com, Amazines.com and Articlealley.com. There are many others so look around on the internet and find the ones that work best for you.
Happy Writing and Cheers to Your Success!

Generating Free Traffic Is As Easy as Playing Games!
Are you struggling to drive traffic to your web site? Are you spending valuable dollars on ineffective marketing strategies? Are your eyes crossed from reading e-books from every Tom, Dick and Harry on the internet?
There is a way to drive targeted traffic to your site without spending any money, without reading another e-book and by doing something you are probably already doing anyway.
“What is this unbelievable marketing tool,” you ask?
One way to drive free targeted traffic to your site is by using Traffic Exchanges. There are multiple companies on the internet, but one of the easiest to use is Traffic Swarm. You create an account and choose the option to load the start page anytime you access the internet from your computer. Next you set up to 10 web sites (with a free account) of your own that you want to be displayed. You have to wait a day or two for your URL submissions to be approved. Once your sites are approved, you start surfing other people’s ads and earn varying numbers of credits for each ad you click. There’s a 20 second timer for each ad so you can’t go through them too fast or you won’t get any credits. You still have your default start page up (MSN, Yahoo, etc.) so you can easily switch back and forth to continue clicking Traffic Swarm ads and earning credits. You get 100 credits initially just for signing up. You can also earn additional credits by getting other people to sign up through your link. For more detailed instructions, find the Traffic Swarm banner at http://www.mlm-travel-ventures-business.com/marketing.html and click on it.
Traffic Swarm gives you other options for earning or buying additional credits as well. If you really have some time and you just want to have some fun while you’re driving traffic, you can get paid to play games on the internet and earn credits for doing it. More details can be found via the Traffic Swarm link which can be found at http://www.mlm-travel-ventures-business.com/marketing.html.
A few words of warning here. Be careful to not get swept up in every ad you click. There are a lot of enticing offers out there and you don’t want to be distracted from your main purpose, getting traffic to YOUR site! If you do sign up for any other programs, try using the free services before upgrading to paid ones. It would be very easy to accrue a significant amount of costs in upgrades, before you’re even earning money at your own business. Hence the best advice is, click the ad, then click away for 20 seconds, click the ad, then click away. Of course, you hope this isn’t what other people are doing when your ad is displayed!
I hope to click on your ads in the Traffic Swarm community soon! Driving traffic doesn’t have to hard or expensive. Now you know it can even be fun!

Ever Dream of Running Your Own Travel Based Business?
Do you love to travel? Do you DREAM about traveling anywhere in the world you want to go, whenever you want to go? Have you ever dreamt about being a travel agent or running your own travel business?
These days, the opportunity to make your dreams come true has never been better. The fact that we are experiencing some of the worst economic times in history gives us all the more reason to explore new opportunities and look for creative ways to make our living.
So what’s stopping you? Lack of money? Lack of training? Lack of time?
As of 2007 online travel sales accounted for over 50% of all travel purchases in the U.S. The days of physically going to a travel agency to make your travel arrangements are all but disappearing into the horizon.
This doesn’t mean that people don’t want help booking their trips, it simply means they are looking for easier and more convenient ways to do it.
Imagine working from the comfort of your own home and helping people book their travel. Imagine handing out business cards and giving people the option of booking their own travel through your independent web site. You earn commissions on qualified travel that they book through your site. You also earn travel points to apply to your own discounted travel. You have the freedom and the flexibility to travel on your terms.
You can work at your own pace, depending on whether you want to work part-time or replace your current full-time job. You can invest no professional training, or you can advance to higher levels of travel agent status via the training programs available through the company.

Cheers to your success!

Never Hear "No" Again?
Do you find it hard to talk to prospects on the phone, getting hung up on, or handling objections?
I used to be like that, constantly taking the prospects that I would generate on the internet and vomit my business opportunity to them.
Time after time, I would basically get laughed at followed by am immediate "Click".
I just couldn't figure it out. What was I doing wrong? There were so many people out there that were effortlessly sponsoring people on the phone.
I did this for what seemed like a lifetime. I wasn't getting anywhere with my business, basically sponsoring one or two every now and then.
But then I found something that changed the way I talked to prospects forever. It was a video interview with Mike Dillard, and master recruiter Mark Wieser.
In this video Mark get grilled by Mike on how he is able to personally sponsor over 254 reps in one year and how he is able to do it with such ease.
I figured out that I needed to change the way that I was talking to the prospects. I needed to qualify them to see if they are right for my business, not if they would be interested in joining.
I also figured out that I am the boss, I need to control the situation, I am interviewing my prospects to see if they would be good enough to be part of my business.
Basically think of it as if you were the manager interviewing to hire a new employee.
By changing the way that I approach the conversation and the attitude that I have in the conversation, I am now not getting hung up on. I am sponsoring more than ever. Prospects are actually thanking me for the conversations that we have.
Sponsoring and talking to prospects doesn't have to be hard, frustrating, or filled with rejection.
All you need to know is how to do it the right way, the fun way, from someone that knows how to do it and do it well.
So if you would like to learn how I overcame my fear of talking to prospects on the phone, now sponsor more than ever, and how I never hear the word no again, then you need to get your hands on this free 1 hour video interview.

Tired Of The Old School Network Marketing Techniques?
Are you tired of the old school network marketing techniques? You know the 3 foot rule, hanging flyers, bugging your family and friends, and holding hotel meetings.
I know that when I first joined my network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques. I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they would be interested in making some extra money.
I was only faced with questions I wasn't able to answer and faced with nothing but rejection.
Fortunately for me, instead of giving up, I found what I consider to be the "life saver" for my business.
This life saver I speak of was Mike Dillard's 7 Day Free Video Boot Camp.
In these 7 free videos Mike explained how I could attract an endless stream of prospects to me ready to join and actually get paid to prospect.
These videos have really changed the way I do my business, and I think they can help you too.
You can get free instant access to these free videos here...
