Instead, you should focus on following existing strategies that have been proven to be successful. Then, add your own special and unique touch to your approach. For example, if you research the low carb diet niche you’ll find countless workout guides, membership sites and weight-loss challenges. But what if you came into the market with a strong focus on helping people lose weight with low carb-high fat recipes, instead of workouts? To stand out from the crowd, you want to follow trends while also creating your own! Being able to present the same old topic with a fresh, new perspective is all it takes to garner attention and get people excited about what you have to offer. One fatal mistake that new influencers often make is trying to be all things to everyone. As the saying goes, a jack of all trades is a master of none, and this is especially true when it comes to building a strong presence in your market. Instead of covering all topics in your niche, choose 1-2 and focus on just those. Sure, you can occasionally post an off-topic article, but by large, your content and overall engagement should be geared towards very specific topics. This is how you create a brand where you’re known as an expert. Again, you want to become the go-to person in your niche and to do that you need to choose a very specific topic and maintain a strong focus on creating content that satisfies a targeted audience. You can branch out later. Bringing something new to the table is important to stand out from the crowd, and the easiest way to do that is to choose a topic and then create as many different channels around that market while offering something fresh. For example, if you discover that most YouTubers in your market are creating formal videos that take a serious approach, consider creating a channel that offers candid conversations and off-beat interviews and content. Tell personal stories, share your experiences and don’t be afraid to open up to your audience. People can relate to that because it shows them that you once dealt with the same issues and struggles that they are now facing, and that you know how to overcome them. Taking a personal approach also makes you more approachable which will result in more people coming to you for content, advice and leadership. Sharing stories of personal growth will connect you to your core audience. Put your own spin on common topics! Your own personal stories are uniquely yours, so while you’re covering subject matter that’s been done many times before, you’re still able to create a strong brand with a clear message that will resonate with your audience. Offering a unique viewpoint while sticking to the topics that are proven to be popular within your niche is the easiest way to build a stand-out brand that captures attention. Creating Your Base One of the easiest ways to become an influencer in your market is to choose your platforms carefully. Rather than try to build a presence across every available platform, you should choose just one at a time and concentrate on building an audience that’s highly engaged. Besides, it’s hard to position yourself as an expert in a niche if you’re struggling to find the time to be everywhere. Grow your audience in one central platform first, and then expand your outreach as you find time and learn ways to automate your marketing. Choosing your primary platform can be tricky because it will be based on where your audience congregates. This means you’ll need to do some more research to figure out where the majority spends their time. Start by evaluating the different social networks to determine which one is the most popular in your niche. Chances are, you’ll find people across the board, but one platform should stand out to you. Go with that one.

Sample Content Preview Renewable Energy Options for Your Home Whether you're contemplating going off the grid from electrical utilities or just trying to supplement your electrical supply to reduce your bill, you will likely be looking into either solar or renewable wind energy for your source of power. Solar panels combined with batteries is the green renewable energy option for the home. Wind power is also possible while not yet as popular an option for individual consumers. A wind generator will require a homestead that is on enough land. But windmills can be reasonably priced. Geothermal Energy The first thing most people think of when considering eco-friendly energy for their home is solar or wind. However, you may also have an option to use geothermal energy in your home. Using hot water and steam from underground to generate electricity is a safe way to do it. You can even add it to an existing home, but you may have to replace your furnace with a geothermal system. Generate Electricity and Store It for Later Recreational vehicle (RV) owners have been aware of the usefulness of solar storage systems for some time. Many of them are rapidly adding solar panels to their roofs so they may "boondock" for extended periods. This means that they camp without plugging into any additional power, meaning that they can camp for much longer than they used to. These RVs have an advantage in that that their lighting systems may be a 12V DC system, which would allow the owners to power their lights without the need for using a power-robbing 110V inverter. A Home Owner Has Options with Storage Capacity Homeowners can use as large of a powerwall battery system as they are willing to pay for. Powerwall batteries come in all sizes and prices and are available from some manufacturers such as Goal Zero, AED Land, Schneider, Somerset, and Tesla. One Size Doesn’t Fit All Some battery types were designed for short power outage situations. They will give you something like the service from a portable generator and will be relatively cheap, like the Goal Zero Yeti 1400. Others are intended for actual off the grid residential power service and as you would expect will cost considerably more. These powerwalls are made up of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, with some using active cooling. The Tesla powerwalls costs $6,700, and installation will not be cheap; estimates range from $2000 to $8000. Batteries and Panels are Getting Better With ever-increasing improvements of battery storage and the sunlight to electrical current efficiency of today’s solar panels, practical systems are being offered by several manufacturers. Some new concepts are still on the horizon, such as Tesla’s solar roofing material that Elon Musk promised in 2016. If it ever does become available, it will revolutionize the market. Today’s Technology Does Pay Off It may pay to keep checking on the progress of any advancements being promised. At the present time, solar panels combined with batteries are the favored green renewable option for the home. With ever-increasing improvements of battery storage, and with the added sunlight to electrical current efficiency improvements of solar panels, practical systems are being offered today by several manufacturers. You may wait for the promise of Tesla’s solar roofing material to show up, but there are many products available today. Many people have already opted to install systems that are working for them and are proving to be cost-effective over the long run. Most people who opt to go ahead and do it today with today’s technology are very happy they did. One thing that helps conserve energy, whether you’re using solar or not, is to purchase the greenest appliances that you can for your home. This will help cut down on the power drawn from the appliance, which will lower the need for more solar and is also a way to save money on solar. Tips for Finding Green Appliances Finding green appliances is a lot simpler today than it used to be. Most appliances these days carry the energy efficient seal even when they seem high-powered. In other words, you don’t lose much by opting for the green appliances over the conventional ones. Succeed with Renewable Energy Using Efficient Appliances and Lighting One key in succeeding with renewable energy for the home is to use efficient appliances and lighting. The adage that time is money really does apply to energy costs. Energy is power (rate of doing work in units called a watt) multiplied by time, and is given in units called the watt-second or joule. Essentially, you are charged for the electricity you use by the watt-hour.

Have your web address printed on them. You can hand them out to anyone you meet. Just think of all the people you meet on a regular basis: grocery clerks, post office workers, bag boys, family members, friends, salesmen/women, etc. 7 Contact national radio stations to ask them if they are looking for guest speakers. Tell them your area of expertise; maybe they'll book you for a show. Of course you would want to contact targeted stations and shows which would want to know more about you and your area of expertise. 8 Join clubs related to your area of business. You could trade leads with other businesses. Learn new ways to run your business and sell your products. You could also create your own online business club. You could provide private chat rooms, message boards, articles, etc. 9 Think of a domain name for your web site that's easy to remember. It should be related to what your business does, sells or provides. If there aren’t any business names available, use your actual birth name. You could at least brand yourself. Your own name will give you credibility. 10 Position your web site at the top of pay-per-click search engines. You will only pay your set amount for each click-through you get to your web site. Just make sure your profits will pay for your advertising cost. If they won't, maybe you could share a web site with another related business and split the costs. Chapter 3 11 Allow your visitors or customers to increase your traffic or sales. Ask them how you can improve your business, web site or product. You can ask them at your web site, in your e-zine, on your message board, in your chat room, in your guest book, in your product packages, etc. 12 Team up with other e-zines that have the same target audience. Combine subscriber bases and then publish one e-zine together to increase subscribers. You could all include your ads and announcements in the e-zine. You could also take turns for the top advertising space. 13 Swap endorsement advertisements with other web sites. Endorsement ads usually pull more sales and traffic than regular advertisements. People have taught themselves to ignore advertisements because they see hundreds of them every day. Endorsements usually don't look or sound like normal ads. 14 Outsource part of your workload to save time and money. You can spend more of your time and money promoting your business. You'll save money on employee costs, space costs, training costs, etc. Keep the work you enjoy doing to keep you motivated and ship out the work you don't like. 15 Include a signature file on all the e-mails you send out. Provide your business name, phone number, e-mail and web address, etc. Also include a brief blurb for your business or the product you're selling. For example, you could say, "How To Wash Your Car In Two Minutes or Less!" Chapter 4 16 Use pictures or graphics on your web site that support the product you're selling. They could give your visitors a clearer vision of your product, the benefits of the product, people's emotion when they own the product, etc. You could also use ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures. 17 Create a friendly, long-term relationship with all your customers. Practice good customer service and follow-up with them on a regular basis. You could follow-up with gifts, greeting cards, free things, coupons, special offers, reminders, your e-zine, helpful advice, etc. 18 Create strategic alliances with other web sites. You could exchange banner ads, sell each other's products as back-end products, cross-promote, etc. You could also create a web site together and promote it on your separate web sites. You would both just split the costs and profits. 19 Increase the perceived value of your product to skyrocket your sales. Add on free bonuses, aftersale services or an affiliate program. Other factors that would help are: your own domain name, a professional web design, a good-looking product graphic and persuasive ad copy. 20 Give customers a discount on their total order to increase sales. You could give them a discount for ordering over a set dollar or product amount. For example, you could say, "Buy over $39 worth of products and get a 20% discount on your order!" Another example, "Get a 15% discount if you order 3 or more products!" Chapter 5 21 Allow your visitors to reprint the content on your web site. Just ask them to include your resource box and a link to your site in exchange. This will turn your content into a traffic machine and the external links will help increase your ranking in some search engines. 22 Provide a free contest or sweepstake at your web site. It's a fact, people like to win things. If you can fulfill that need, people will visit. You can also attract them to revisit by holding one every week or month. You could also start an opt-in list for people who enter your contest or sweepstake so you can follow-up with them regularly. 23 Save time and money by using ad submitters. You will reach a larger part of your target audience far more quickly than by manually submitting your ad. You should manually submit your ad to the most popular web sites so you have a better chance of being listed or placed in a good position. 24 Create a good first impression. You will not be able to sell very many products if your visitors think your web site looks unprofessional. Use crisp graphics, attractive color combinations, a readable text size, even spacing, even margins, bold headlines, indent benefits, etc.

Sample Content Preview The Good News? You can make money off Fiverr too. In fact, Fiverr has many testimonials of people claiming that their income on this platform has replaced their regular job's income, and then some. In fact, a lot of people happily announce that they've quit their day jobs and are doing voiceovers full time. There's even one person who travels all over the world and is sustained 100% by his income from Fiverr. That's how lucrative this micro-freelancing platform can be. But there's a big warning sign. You have to be careful about using Fiverr the right way. While it's very easy to get excited about these success stories, and believe me, they resonate on so many levels (Who wouldn't want to own their time? Who wouldn't want to work on their own terms? Who wouldn't want to cherry pick the projects that they get?), the big problem is, if you don't know what you're doing or if you don't have a strategy, you end up wasting time and, yes, money, in the form of opportunity costs. Think about it, if you are spending your time doing work for people for $10 when it turns out that you could have been working for $50, you are actually losing money. Now, this is different from a situation where you have spare time and you're simply trying to turn your spare time into spare cash. In that case, this would be okay. This is especially true if you're training yourself by taking on these jobs so you can level up in the future. But if you are looking to earn a full-time income, you have to learn how to use Fiverr the right way. This book teaches you 6 better ways to make money off Fiverr. Make no mistake, offering high value and time-intensive services for $5 is not one of them. The Biggest Hassle with Fiverr By this point, you're probably excited about Fiverr. In fact, you may be raring to go and put up an ad and see what you can make. Well, you might want to cool your heels for a little bit. How come? Well, here's the sad reality about Fiverr. Most money on Fiverr is made one way. What way is that? You sell your time for money. You may be thinking, "what's so bad about this?" Well, if that's what you wanted to do, you should have just gotten a job. Seriously. You should have just gone to monster.com or some other online jobs platform and hunted yourself down a job. The great thing about a regular job is that you are guaranteed a paycheck every 14 days. You don't have that assurance with freelancing. Also, most jobs in the United States have a medical and dental insurance plan as well as 401K retirement plan. You don't have that with freelancing. Keep this in mind. Because if you're just going to be selling your time for money, maximize your return on effort by getting an actual regular job. Unless your hourly rate is $1,000 or more, it's just not going to cut it. There's no comparison if your focus is selling your time for money. What's the Big Problem with Selling Your Time for Money? There are several problems with this way of making money. First, you only have so much time to sell. Last time I checked, there are only 24 hours in a day. Well, if you're like most people, you at least need six of those hours to sleep, and probably more. Also, there's only one of you. It would be great if you have an army of you out there so you can basically farm yourself out to work on all sorts of different freelance projects. You then get paid many times over. But unfortunately, there's only one of you, with only 24 hours in a day. Traditional freelancing is also not very scalable. Once all your available time slots and production slots are taken up, you have to wait until you clear out some work for you to take on more clients. What do you think will happen if you told them to wait? Based on my experience, at least half of them will look elsewhere. And given how robust the Fiverr platform is, they don't have to look far, and they don't have to search long. It's Too Easy to Get Pigeonholed Another problem with Fiverr freelancing is that it's too easy to feel that you're stuck offering one type of service in one particular type of context. It gets old quickly. It seems that all the amazing benefits of Fiverr are simply off limits to you. You quickly discover that it's basically hard work. Now, you may enjoy what you're doing, but if you get pigeonholed and you just offer one type of service, let's say you're a graphics artist and you design banners for people, your skill set is not growing if that's all you're doing. If you're doing banners all day, every day, the improvements you can make as far as taking your skills to the next level is actually fairly restricted. On top of this, there is always the chance that someone will undercut your pricing. You have to understand that the vast majority of people on Fiverr either do not make any money at all or they make very little money. There are a lot of reasons why this is the case. Some people simply do a bad job and they get bad reviews. Other people charge too much money. You have to remember that the market has expectations based on the services you provide. If the going rate for banner design, for example, is $5 and I come along and put up my service for $25, chances are, I won't get too many orders. I may get orders every once in a blue moon, but you can bet that they're not going to be repeat orders. For customers to come back, they must feel that they're getting a solid value. You can deliver on that value based on quality or price, but the problem is, Fiverr tends to attract people who are drawn primarily by price. I know, it's rough. We can cry about it, we can definitely whine, but I doubt any of that is going to change the situation. That's just the way it is. The Uncomfortable Truth About Making Money Off Fiverr I don't mean to depress you. I definitely don't want to discourage you from using this amazing platform. It is amazing. It can make you money. But you have to use it the right way. If you use it the wrong way, it can easily become a race to the bottom. That's right, when you look at the pricing that you offer, make sure it's cut to the bone because you can bet that if there is any allowance for a decent profit, somebody will come in and offer a lower price. This is especially true when it comes to virtual assistants, data entry, and similar services. It is brutal. We're talking about people working for less and less money. It used to be that the low cost service providers would come from Southeast Asia as well as South Asia – in places like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, the Philippines and Indonesia. Now, the action has shifted to Africa. If you think people from India were charging low rates, think again.

This is the basic premise of all spiritual texts and esoteric schools of thought. It is also reflected in many scientific spheres such as quantum mechanics. People have certain thought patterns that they picked up from the wider society, from their parents, from groups and organizations etc. They then project these thought patterns onto their surroundings. And they then mistakenly believe that their own projections and interpretations are the ‘truth’. But the truth is different for everybody, depending on their particular thoughts. This is why here is so much diversity in the world today. Thoughts Become Things A core component of spiritual growth lies in removing all of the thought patterns that we have picked up when we were young. These were just programmed into us. When we learn to remove and reinstall different thoughts and beliefs is when we start to come into our true autonomy as masters over our minds. MASTER YOUR MIND 11 And this is partially why meditation is recommended across times and cultures. We are able to calmly observe our own thoughts patterns without reaction or involvement. This is one of the only ways that we can see things objectively. Otherwise, we tend to identify with our gender, political ideologies, nationality, or class. And we naturally see this as ‘correct’ due to our limited life experience. People who do not understand the power of their own minds are largely lost as they cannot identify as conscious creators of their own reality. They will consistently find fault with the world and ask why it is so difficult to contend with. Understanding the power of thoughts is the first step to personal mastery. The Insanity of the Mind From the perspective of spiritual systems, the mind is irrational, illogical, and insane. We are required to observe the mind and detach from it in order to see its dysfunction. But we can also observe this dysfunction on a grander scale with the wars, hate, environmental destruction, racism, sexism, homophobia, political attacks, broken relationships, government spying programs, smartphone addictions, health problems, and more. Something is a little dysfunctional with the human populace, and this is a result of millions of minds that are not in the right place. Social media and centralized media also serve to program these minds into a state of disempowerment and fear. And advertising also has quite a destructive effort as it encourages people to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, and consume sugar and caffeine. An important point to remember is that you are not immune to advertising even if you think you are. When you perceive something it leaves a mental impression in your subconscious. So unless you switch off your tv and avoid going into a shop, you are a victim of advertising. Scientific Discoveries & Psychological Observations There are some scientific discoveries and psychological observations which might be of interest in understanding how the mind works. These include: 1. The mind cannot distinguish between real and imaginary. 2. 95% of your activity is subconscious (try being consciously aware of every key you type on your computer. Your progress will be vastly reduced.) 3. Your subconscious has stored everything that has ever happened to you, much like a gigantic computer. 4. We are bombarded with 2 million bits of data every second. It is the job of the subconscious to filter through all of this. 5. The conscious mind remembers between 5-9 pieces of information. This information is passed to the subconscious for processing to free up conscious space. 6. Most of our energy expenditure goes towards the brain. These discoveries have important implications. If the majority of our lives are fulfilled by the subconscious, it follows that we should try to manipulate our subconscious mind as opposed to our conscious abilities. According to Carl Jung - “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”. Programming of the subconscious for conscious growth is the basis of affirmations and self-hypnosis for empowerment. But along with these strategies, there are other things to consider in order to create a positive mindset for growth and fulfillment. Chapter 2 - How to Develop Mental Strength Understanding that your thoughts determine your environment and that you can command your thoughts is the first step. But committing to a daily routine of developing mental and emotional strength is something else entirely. It takes discipline, character, and patience. The idea that we can just manifest what we want is a little misguided. The fact is that you may have spent the last 30 or 40 years anti-manifesting. Focusing on worry and stress, eating the wrong foods, in toxic relationships, with limiting beliefs that have been with you since childhood. These are not removed overnight. It can take years to rid yourself of certain thoughts and ideas, and you have to be constantly vigilant about what you are thinking and what you are consuming. Experiment with Exercise Thankfully, there are many ways to increase your mental and emotional power. And it has never been easier to embark on a campaign of self-development than it is today with all of the resources at your disposal, especially with the internet and instant communications. We have all of the tools. We just need some willpower and determination. One basic way to build mental strength is with an exercise routine. Write out your goals and objectives and see if you can stick with them. This might seem like very basic and fundamental advice. But both diet and exercise provide valuable insights into our behavior and they are the two foundational modalities that mental strength can be built upon. If you do not keep track of the fundamentals you will run into difficulties later on. Trying to become a master of the mind while staring at a TV all day and eating ice cream is just not realistic. Diet and exercise can be used to build a strong character and a healthy body and mind. Experiment with Diet Diet is another place to start developing mental strength. I think we all understand that we will function better without caffeine, sugar, ice-cream, and other processed products. Yet many people cannot go a single week without those items which clearly disturb mental wellbeing. Try and see if you can go on a certain diet for a week. And when you don’t stick to it, try and examine why this is the case. You will begin to realize how affected you are by the environment, how just being in a shop or entering a restaurant caused you to act instinctively and buy an item that you knew was unhealthy. In other words, your environment determined your behavior. The Importance of the Surrounding Environment For mental strength, try to manipulate the environment first. In this way, you will be taking away the opportunity to fail. Manipulating the environment for mental strength will mean that you make use of the concept of minimalism as much as possible. The less information and distractions you have in general, the clearer the mind will be. So clean your room and your office, even the files on your pc. This will have a positive impact on your mental wellbeing. People who tend to hoard items find fresh mental energy when they let go of their many possessions and send them to the trash heap. Limit the time you spend on television and switch off your phone at night. Eliminating cable is also a good idea. Even things like making your bed in the morning and spending some time out in nature can really help to get the mind in order. Another way of describing the concept of the universe being a product of mind is that ‘the outer reflects the inner’. We can easily tell the personality of an individual by the state of his or her bedroom. It can be obsessively neat and tidy or it can be much like a dump. Ideally, it could be neat and orderly with a few items thrown around here and there. Understanding the importance of the environment is an important discovery. It means that we can change external objects and situations that will positively reflect on our internal state, and vice versa.

What very few people realize are the benefits they can gain by having an optimized blog containing relevant content. When it comes to creating more leads for your business, there are many benefits that you can gain from optimizing your blog. Rank Higher with Fresh Content When you continually update the content on your website, you increase your chances of ranking higher on Google and other search engines. Your company blog offers a fantastic way for you to refresh and update your site continually. Not only will this help to attract and keep customers on your site naturally, but the search engine bots also love sites with fresh content. By now, it should be quite clear that, when it comes to SEO, content is king. All of the best SEO strategies are based on creating good content. Fresh and relevant content is useful to users and will help build interest in your product or service among potential customers. Have Greater Control Over Your Content When you are able to produce more unique, useful content for your blog, you have complete control over the message that you are trying to provide to your target audience about your product or service. With SEO optimization you are in full control of your keywords, as well as the links that you place in your posts. Continually providing fresh content for your blog gives you substantial power over your online presence. Gain Better Internal Linking Within Your Website This benefit of a fully optimized blog is closely related to having greater control of your online presence. With the ability to control the content that you place on your blog, you can decide to link to different sections of your blog posts to the various pages on your website using the anchor text that you choose. Not only does this kind of linking tell the different search engines what to look for on your site, but it also directs potential customers to your landing or sales pages. An Easier Way to Attract Inbound Links One of the most critical factors that you need to consider when it comes to search engine ranking is backlinking. When Google's bots find a website that has no backlinks, it automatically assumes that the site has little to offer. However, a domain that has plenty of backlinks is more likely to be ranked much higher in the search engines because it most likely contains useful content. It is essential to keep in mind, however, is that the backlinks should only be from related or highly respected websites. If your site contains too many backlinks that aren't relevant, it could end up being penalized. This is where you can significantly benefit from hosting a blog. Not only does each post that you create offer interested visitors a link that they can share, but you can also generate backlinks yourself by sharing some of your posts with your social media network. Your visitors will always share some posts more than others, so carefully tracking the posts will, in time, give you a better idea of the type of content that you should be creating for your target audience. Add More Variety to Your Website Since search engines are looking for content that will be useful to users, you are somewhat limited regarding how much content you can have on your main company website. However, if you host a blog, it will allow you to write about anything that you feel your audience will benefit from and that will help them make a decision on whether to buy your product or service, regardless of whether or not the content fits within your sitemap. It is highly unlikely that you would place ‘how-to’ or list articles on your main site, yet these have proven to be some of the most popular topics searched for online. Blogging helps to fit in content that is commonly searched for online while helping to increase the potential number of click-throughs that you receive from your content. Publish Content That Would Otherwise Hurt Your Ranking In addition to creating regular blog posts, blogging software is ideal when you want to rank higher on the search engines and get links to certain types of content that could ultimately hurt your main site's SEO. These include frequently asked questions, product updates, newsletter archives, and online media rooms. Hosting a blog will not only form an essential part of your overall SEO and lead generation strategy, but it is also an excellent way to improve your credibility and give your company a personalized voice. Focus on SEO According to a recent study conducted by HubSpot, 75 percent of people never scroll past the first page of the search results. Spending countless hours writing, rewriting, and editing your content, so that it can collect dust on the second page of Google's search results can be a tough pill to swallow. If you want to increase your search ranking, then you have to focus on creating a highly optimized blog with SEO in mind. It starts with uncovering your best opportunities that exist for doing so and has the potential to yield significant results in your search ranking, which in turn will help to generate more qualified leads. Identify Authoritative Links Page authority is a metric that is measured by almost every SEO tool, and it calculates how well a specific page on your site could rank in a search. There are dozens of different factors that can affect this, including the number of inbound links, unique IPs linking to a given site, and individual domains. The higher the page authority, the more likely that page will rank higher in the search engines. The high authority pages can also help to boost the ranking of other pages on your site, including those that are currently ranking on page two of Google, by simply linking to them. First, you need to identify your most authoritative pages. This can be accomplished by using tools like Moz's Open Site Explorer (https://moz.com/link-explorer). Identify High-Positioned Keywords Now that you know where your pages stand, you’ll need to uncover high-positioned keywords that align with your high authority pages. You can use Google Analytics and filter all the keywords you currently rank for in descending order. Filter your search by anything that appears in a position above ten, which is the first page of search results, to identify your best opportunities for increasing your rank. Apply the Information Once you’ve discovered your high authority sites and the highpositioned keywords, you can use this information to increase the search ranking of the rest of your webpages, by using long-tailed keywords to link to relevant pages on your site. Add an appropriate link from your high authority pages to other pages on your website improve your search ranking, but it will also enhance your reader's experience without disrupting the reader's experience by stuffing a bunch of irrelevant keywords on your most authoritative pages. A company blog will provide you with many distinct advantages, but you need to be sure to implement it in a smart way, and you need to be willing to put in the work of optimizing your blog and refreshing your blog’s content on a regular basis. However, taking the time to ensure that you commit to the process of blogging will provide you with a significant payoff. A busy blogging community will provide you with contextual backlinks that are often rewarded by search engines by ranking your site higher. Regular readers of your blog will usually give a boost to your website's visibility by sharing items of interest, especially on social media. Chapter Two – Using Social Media to Build Relationships If your business is operating on a budget, it can often be a challenge to relate the effort that you are putting into building relationships on social media with the actual return on investment (ROI). If you've been spending a lot of time on social media, but don't feel like you are getting the results that you expect, you might start to question whether the efforts that you are putting in is really the best way to invest your limited time and resources. Unfortunately, very few people are able to find conclusive answers to the questions they have in their minds, which makes them more reluctant to jump onto what they see as the "Social Media Bandwagon." While some businesses see the various social media platforms as a valuable and viable marketing channel for their company, others view it as a yet unproven and unpredictable distraction that doesn't really lend itself to conventional metrics. However, this is just not true.

Sample Content Preview Having big buildings and many staff at your disposal may make you feel powerful, but in reality, all this cost lots of money. Every staff and building is just additional overheads. You may earn a lot of money but you are spending a lot at the same time! Operating your E-zine at the comfort of your on home is much more cost effective. Remember that every penny saved is a penny earned! Do you know that an autoresponder will also double as your salesperson, customer relations manager and support clerk? An autoresponder works round the clock and doesn’t go for lunch breaks (and they cost about $15 a month to operate!) The business of E-zine publishing is also highly scalable because the more subscribers you have will not burden you as much compared to servicing your customers in the real world as a sales person. When you have your online business setup, it can even run on autopilot – a set-and-forget model! Multiple Profit Funnels Experts have claimed that it is suicidal for anyone to have only ONE source of income. If you have only one source of income, you are in a risky position. Even in an online business, if you are focusing on selling one product to many different markets, your income potential is very limited and you are not maximizing your resources. The beauty of an online business is this – you can create a business model or a website and build traffic, build relationships with your customers and sell them products. Once your website has developed enough traction, you can start focusing on the profits. Maybe you might not make so much money if you are just starting out, but if one website can bring in $500 to $1,000 every single month on autopilot, I am very sure you won’t mind creating multiple profit funnels. The same applies to an E-zine. You can build your E-zine business just like any niche marketing websites. You drive traffic, get them to subscribe to your newsletter or E-zine, build relationships through a daily newsletter or an e-course and sell them your own products or promote affiliate programs. Once your E-zine is on autopilot, you can create ANOTHER E-zine and create another profit funnel for yourself! You can create one after another and soon, you will have many online businesses operating for you each giving you residual income. The best thing about E-zines is that you can build them with any other Internet business models out there. Let’s say you are into AdSense publishing, a newsletter will turn a common subscriber into one of your loyal blog readers. How about Google AdWords? If you have a powerful newsletter linked to a well written sales copy, you can even use AdWords to draw traffic into your newsletter. How about with affiliate programs? You can create many different E-zines all with recommended resources to all sorts of affiliate programs out there. The possibilities are endless. All you need to do is source for the ones that pay the highest commissions and which programs are most suitable for your subscribers. Anyone Can Do It! Almost anyone can write an E-zine. This business model is so simple that any layman with the right attitude and basic aptitude for computers will be able to succeed as an E-zine publisher. (Of course you must work very hard at it, just like any offline business) Just put yourself in the shoes of a well known publisher and imagine yourself with all the facilities without the overheads or headaches. E-zine publishing is a dream business for anyone and if everyone knew how profitable E-zine publishing can be, they will jump on the band wagon immediately. Are you prepared to think like a marketer? Do you have any sales experience? These assets are also very valuable when it comes to E-zine publishing. Always remember that the basic principles in an offline business will always apply in an online business. You will need to have a service oriented attitude. You must be able to anticipate your subscriber’s needs. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. These are all part and parcel of any successful business that provides value. Are you up to the task? The only problem is with us. The 80-20 rule will always apply no matter you are in conventional business, network marketing, direct marketing or Internet marketing. Many people think that all they need to do is purchase a ‘business’ or an ‘opportunity’ and all they have to do is sit around and wait for their money tree to sprout money. Don’t be naïve – you have to put in a lot of hard work when it comes to E-zine publishing and you have to stand out among the crowd. If you have no love for the computer or the Internet, then don’t bother – E-zine publishing is most probably not for you. The good news is that this business model isn’t as technically challenging as programming languages. Even if you can’t write, you can always outsource to ghostwriters who will help you get the job done for a fee.

In fact, many of the problems associated with joint pain stem from inflammation. This can cause joints to become inflamed, swollen, stiff and even rickety when cushioning in the area gets affected. Here’s a look at some of the most common issues causing joints to become inflamed and painful. Arthritis Arthritis, despite being very common, isn’t well-understood. It’s not a single disease but a name given to group of about 200 problems that affect the joints. The root cause behind all of these problems is inflammation of the joints. Arthritis can affect people of all ages but is most common in women and older individuals. The common symptoms that you can experience during arthritis are pain, swelling, decreased mobility and stiffness. Symptoms can range from mild and moderate to severe. As arthritis worsens, you may find doing everyday tasks a nuisance. Inability to climb the stairs or bend down are common symptoms of progressed arthritis. Osteoarthritis is arthritis that occurs when wear and tear of cartilage takes place. Being the most common type of arthritis, this problem is characterized by excessive pain and stiffness. As the cartilage wears away, there’s no cushioning left for the bones. So, when you move, the bones run against each other and this friction causes the feeling of discomfort. If the problem persists, the condition can get worse and joint strength is lost. The risk factors for this problem are obesity, age and any previous injury. Anyone with a family history of osteoarthritis is also likely to get it at some point in their life. Arthritis can impact any set of joints, but its effects are felt most in the hips, knees, neck, back or the hands. Another example is rheumatoid arthritis which is a kind of autoimmune disease. In this condition, inflammation increases in the body which causes joint damage and pain. Risk factors include genetic and environmental reasons. For example, smoking is a risk factor that can cause rheumatoid arthritis in specific people who have a particular gene. The aim of medication that is given for treating this disease is to increase mobility and reduce stiffness. Arthritis is diagnosed by a physician by doing blood testing and taking some imaging scans. If the problem gets bad, an orthopedic surgeon performs joint replacement surgery. Arthritis may also affect other parts of the body when it progresses, so other specialists like dentists and ophthalmologists may also be needed. Gout While the knees, neck and shoulders are spots more susceptible to joint pain, gout presents itself in the big toe of the foot. It’s a very common type of arthritis that causes stiffness in the area which is accompanied by excessive swelling and intense pain. While it’s common in men, women who have reached menopause also become more susceptible to gout. The cause of this joint problem is the deposition of uric acid in the blood stream. This could be due to two reasons; either there is too much uric acid production or the kidney is not able to efficiently remove uric acid from the body. Inflammation, resulting from excess of uric acid crystals in the blood, is the prime cause of this problem. Gout attacks are specific and quick, mostly occurring in the middle of the night. Medication is used to treat gout problems. It is used for reducing the symptoms and preventing future attacks. Since worsening of gout can also cause kidney stones, medication is used to prevent the situation from getting any more complex. Bursitis Bursitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the bursa. The bursa is a sac that is filled with fluid, present between the skin and the joints. As it is present above the joints, it acts as a cushioning agent between bones and tendons. Common symptoms associated with bursitis are swelling and tenderness. Bursitis mostly occurs in elbows, knees, hips, knees and shoulders but other areas in the body can also get affected. Bursas become inflamed when there is a repetitive movement or injury. If you indulge in any sports or physical activity where you are performing repetitive activities on daily basis, your chances of getting bursitis increase. For example, if you bowl every day, you may get elbow bursitis. People who spend a lot of time on their knees such as gardeners are also prime victims of knee bursitis. Sometimes, bursitis may even be caused as a development in another arthritis condition such as gout. Bursitis can also be treated at home. Easy treatment methods for bursitis are forming a cold pack or resting the area. Also, painkillers such as paracetamol can also help speed up the recovery process. Although the pain goes away in a few weeks, swelling lasts for a longer time. To prevent bursitis, it is important that you wear knee pads when you are playing and always warm up before exercising. If your symptoms are not getting better at home even after 10 to 14 days of treatment, then seek medical help.

Here are some basic tips to help you line up all your things to do before you ever sign up for that first affiliate program. One of the basic needs for any successful affiliate program is to have a web site of your own. While it is possible to purchase ad space on sites and to advertise through Google Adwords, this is short term strategy. Setting up a basic web site that has a particular focus will make all the difference in the world to the success of your program. Keep in mind that your web site does not have to be complicated with a lot of flash media, animation or other fancy bells and whistles. In fact, if you plan on focusing your attention on affiliate marketing strategies that target the home consumer, you are better off with a basic site that will load quickly on a dial up connection. After all, dial-up is still extremely popular in a number of locations. While you could choose to go with a free web site, you will find it much easier to work with affiliate programs if you go with your own domain name. It is very easy and inexpensive to secure a domain name and space on a remote server these days. Some companies will provide you with both services for a low monthly charge. Often, they may also have basic software to help you design and upload your pages to the server, even if you are not particularly savvy with the technology. One great place to check for this sort of thing is at https://www.soloadmarketplace.com/ Another important aspect is determining just what your contact information will be, regarding communication with your affiliate program. This would include an email address and physical mailing address. The email address should be one you have set aside specifically for your marketing business. You may find it helpful to obtain a free email address, although you will certainly look more professional if the email address appears to be lead to a business of some sort. Often, you will have the option of having one email address when you secure a domain name. If that is the case, go this route and use that as your contact for any email correspondence. As far as your physical mailing address, determine where you may want your affiliate checks to be mailed. If you are not secure having the checks come to your home for come reason, secure a post office box. Online payments are a great way to easily receive your affiliate payments and keep track of your earnings. From this angel, you may want to look into opening an account with one of the more popular online services that send and receive funds. PayPal is one example of such a service. Many people are familiar with PayPal, and just about everyone knows how to use it to send payments. Another popular option is ClickBank, which offers services that are almost identical to PayPal. Both these options are reliable, quick, and provide you with financial detail that will allow you to keep up with your earnings easily. One last tool to set in place before you embark on your first affiliate marketing program is a promotion plan for the web site where the ads will reside. This will mean that you have a procedure in place to tie keywords and key phrases back to your site, publish the site on all the major search engines, and also have some content ready to add to the site periodically. Additionally, you will have located at least a few online business sites where you can post your URL in business listings. Making sure people can find your site during searches is imperative; that is where a lot of your traffic will come from. Also, you want the content to change slightly from time to time, so people have a reason to visit your site on a regular basis. All these methods will greatly increase the chances of clicks on the ads posted on the site.

Sample Content Preview Pitfall #2: Picking a Low Converter As an affiliate marketer, your goal is to profit from the hard worker others have done; and from the money they have spent on copywriters, product developers, and software. If you select a product that underutilizes these advantages, you are likely to benefit less. Take, for instance, conversion rates. Not all product creators hire a top-notch copywriter. In fact, many of them just write their own copy. Many also don’t hire someone to do graphs for the sales page. Instead, they try to do their own. The end result? The page looks hideous, the copy contains major errors, and the product converts poorly. Before you start promoting any particular product, read the sales page carefully and compare it with others. Do you feel compelled to buy? Did the graphics throw you off? Did the copy fail to reel you in for the catch? These can all amount to fatal errors for both the seller and you. You cannot help the seller at this point, but you can avoid his product and find a better one. Do yourself a favor: choose your products carefully. Pitfall #3: Selling Snake Oil for a Snake Oil Salesman This pitfall is especially important to avoid if you have a list. All it takes is one erroneous product promotion and you could end up with a mass exodus from your list. Again, don’t make this error. Even though you may be tempted to promote the next “biggest launch,” make sure you don’t buy into just anything. Several marketers have lamented their choices to promote the Rich Jerk’s latest offering after list members complained that his sales page was loaded profanity and sexist comments. Don’t be one of these guys. Make sure you carefully inspect anything before you promote it to your list. Unless you happen to be the Rich Jerk, you probably don’t want people to think you’re just that—a rich jerk. Additionally, avoid jumping on the affiliate product bandwagon for major promotions. Instead, wait until the buzz dies down slightly; and then release a comprehensive review (something most affiliate marketers do not provide) of the product. This has a much better chance of getting sales for you; and it will also help you to maintain credibility. Last, avoid promoting products that make outrageous and fallacious claims. As Carl Sagan once said “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” In most cases, these snake oil peddlers cannot provide you with any extraordinary evidence, but they do make the claims. Avoid promoting them and becoming associated with them. Pitfall #4: Picking Products that Offer Meager Commissions If you’re marketing to a list of people, they’re only going to consider so many product offers in a given period of time, so select the ones you promote wisely. If you promote something that only generates a 25% commission for you, then you’re leaving a lot on the time. In reality, you could probably find a similar product that offers a 50% or 75% commission. In terms of the actual dollar value of the commission – don’t sweat that as much. While many top name Internet marketers now say that they concentrate on promoting high-ticket items (since only a few sales will generate a lot of money), you can still make a killing selling relatively cheap reports. The rising popularity of the $7 report is testament to this fact. So avoid the cheapo sellers, but don’t worry as much about the price. Pitfall #5: Failing to Collect Leads Always, always, always capture leads. Rather than generating traffic through pay per click, search engine optimization, and other methods and then sending that traffic to your affiliate link, you should make an effort to convert them into list members first. Why? Two reasons: simple mathematical reasoning and the collective experience of many marketers. The simple mathematical reasoning goes something like this: virtually everyone who would have purchased the product will opt in to your mailing list. And many who definitely would not have purchased the product will opt in to your mailing list. Instead of converting at a rate of around 1-3% (in affiliate sales), you will convert between 15 and 40% of visitors (to your mailing list). From there, you will get the chance to contact the willing buyers and the more reluctant. Additionally, once they’re on a list, this is no longer a one-off effort. You get the chance to market to them again and again for months or even years.
