You see People all over the net frequently asking the same questions:

How to get going on their business, how they can make money online or what products they should sell. Etc, etc.

You can only answer those questions to a certain point; at least with most, unless you get really involved with them.

Most don’t have time for this, unless perhaps you charge for coaching.

You don’t know their experience level. You don’t know what they may have already tried and how much effort they put into it, or what they did right or wrong with it, and so on.

One thing is for sure, many of them need to FOCUS on doing one thing at a time and then TAKE ACTION instead of being indecisive.

Otherwise they’ll end up frustrated and get nowhere, which unfortunately, we see that much too often online.

A short post today but with a bullet! In regards to splitting categories when necessary.

Perhaps it was laziness, I dunno. When I first started categorizing this blog I had “Traffic & Promotion” as one category.

Well, they DO go hand-in-hand don’t they?

Yes & No.

Here’s how I see it - all promotion is meant to bring traffic. But, not all traffic is a result of promotion…..at least not “direct promotion“.

Do you see it? Think about it.

The more I market and blog, the more I see differences, sometimes vast differences in traffic strategies and promotion techniques.

This also mean that it makes good “user-friendly” sense, to separate the two for readers. Let us never forget, without readers, we’re just talking to ourselves ;).

You don’t want too many categories, but you don’t want separate issues all clumped together either. That just leads to frustration and the dreaded backspacing right off your site.

Hello All!

OK here we go. As I mentioned in my last post, a brand new feature here is the monthly post round-up. What this means is, at the end of each month I take the best articles from that month (decided by several factors) and link them all in one post.

So as not to duplicate myself too much here, read the last post to see WHY this is something ALL bloggers should consider doing…there are many benefits, both for the blogger and readers

Since this is the first one, combined with the fact that I was only able to get 7 posts up this month (8 including this one), I’ve decided to make this extra special…I’ll be picking posts all the way back to the beginning

Lets get started then, shall we? For our purposes here, I’ll be shortening some post titles. All links open in the same window. Read/comment and simply back-space back here

The following writing tips were sent to me in an email a while back and I thought they were pretty good, so as you know; I had to share!

For what it’s worth, personally speaking I like to take my time (for the most part) when I write; that aside though, the info here is solid.

I’m sorry I don’t remember who sent it but, whether you’re a writer or not, I’d really appreciate your opinion!

Are you an article writer or an e-book writer? If so, how long does it take you to write? Do you wish that you could write quicker, but without having to compromise the quality of your work?

If so, you can.

There are a number of different methods that you can use to write quicker, while keeping the quality of your work the same or even improving it. Just a few of these methods, seven to be exact, are outlined below.

As you may have guessed, this article is in regards to linking and primarily which is the best *code* to use when doing so.

Should you have it open in the same window…effectively drawing people away from your site…or a new window…leaving the original one in tact for the reader to go back too.

This thought popped into my head while reading a post by Lynn Terry, entitled Stop Linking To Your Home Page!

This is all about internal or deep-linking as it’s called. The act of linking to pages within your blog from outside sources OR from within the blog itself, as I did here in the first sentence.

We will get a lot more into the workings of internal deep-linking in the days to come, as it is VERY important for SEO. For our purposes here though, we will stick to one specific aspect - Same window/New window, how do visitors prefer they open.

Internet marketers have long used a variety of ways to usher targeted traffic to their web pages. Pay-per-click campaigns, email marketing, search engine optimization, and ezine advertising, just to name a few.

Niche Article Marketing is another ultimate Targeted Traffic producer…

There is a simple, effective method that many marketers have missed and continue to miss. That is submitting brief, 400 or 400+ word articles, so that they appear all over the Internet.

What are the advantages of niche articles?

1. They link readers back to your website.

The time and effort you spend on these mini-articles is a wise investment. Every article you submit contains a link back to your website. Every link helps your website gain link popularity, one of the factors in your search engine ranking.

Not a professional writer? Neither am I. I’m sure I’ll learn as much as you from what I post here. After all, good writing skills are very important; and not just for “writers”.

Some newcomers may be wondering what this has to do with marketing. Perhaps it’s better suited for a freelance writing site? Well, that’s obvious, but it is very well suited here as well.

Take a quick glance at the category list…..Article, Ebook, Email, Ezine, Forum, and even Auction marketing all benefit from good writing skills.

Now, I could go on putting such posts/articles in multiple categories. However, I find myself getting annoyed more and more when I see this done on other blogs, so I figure others must also.

This is where you will find them, please enjoy.

Never stop pushing forward!
