1st Step to Manifesting Life

Do you know at least one person that seems to make the most out of every situation? Someone who has great success at the act of manifestation (the act or product of bringing about change through the direction of consciousness)?

You may even have felt a little jealous of the person because it appears they have everything, seemingly getting these things with minimal effort as though they were born ‘lucky’.  Well, it is probably time you understand that the power of manifestation lies within each of us and it is up to you to learn more about it.

Attracting abundance is knowledge. Just like any other skill people have, manifesting is no different.  Skills like playing a musical instrument or making gourmet meals require time and commitment to learn and practice.  So does the skill of manifesting.   How good you get, depends on how well you learn the skill and how well you apply it.

Even though some of us are better at certain skills, that doesn't mean the rest of us, with practice, can't improve or even surpass the talent expressed by another. Some seem to have learned it so well that they often times don't even realize how they do it. Manifesting abundance now comes to them so readily it appears ‘natural’ just as a well trained pianist seems to play the piano without thought or effort. They learn to believe whole-heartedly that they simply deserve something; it is now part of their reality. Those are the ones that seem to be born ‘lucky’.  Luck is not how they got there!

Are You Holding Onto Too Much Product?

We all love to make money but after a while when you get too much product built up, you can start losing money. Why would we do that?

What happens is we get in a mindset on the value we feel our items are worth, rather than what we can get for them. That's why when purchasing items it's important to keep in mind that you make money when you buy, Not - When you Sell.

But we also get into the territory where you feel you should get a certain price for something. We develop an emotional attachment to our products. And that's what we need to shake.... immediately. This is the mindset that can make or break your auction business.

You need to be watching your products and if something isn't pulling in the money anymore, you need to blow it out. Product on the shelves is not money in your pocket.... it's out of your pocket. Product collecting dust is not collecting money in your bank account.

When we relate this to your eBay business, the same goes for what you have in your eBay store. Keep it fresh and alive. Have special offers, only for those who are buying an auction AND a store item. Do a two for the price of one deal or even give away product with the purchase of another item that is moving quickly.

Make it something that they want and give them a deal. Blowout product that you've had for too long. This will give you money right away and gets you product you can actually do well with.

So, get out of the mind frame that to you need to make "X" amount from certain products, if they're not pulling it in, then "X" them out and move onto newer hotter products!

An Optimization That Can Please Your Customers AND The Search Engines

WHAT KIND OF VISITORS WILL THE OPTIMIZATION OF WEBSITE PAGES PROVIDE YOU?

How do the visitors to your website find you?

There´s a big difference between hits to your site and qualified visitors to your site!

Hits are just a showing of your site´s home page that you can get by the thousands with pop under scripts and exit-exchange programs.

Qualified Visitors are people who looks for information, that found your site through a link on other site, or through a search on the Search Engines.

If a person knows your web site´s URL he can just type in on his browser and will find you, but MOST of your visitors won´t know that you exist before they find you, and they will find you thanks to the optimization of website pages.

The big difference between the hits and the qualified visitors, is that the qualified or targeted visitors are looking for the contents of your web site, and that from every 200 bulk untargeted visitors you will only get 1 qualified visitor, so you definitely need to go for the qualified targeted visitors.

Most of the places that talk about optimization of website pages will teach you tricks to get a better ranking on the Search Engines, they will teach you how to manipulate the relevancy algorithms of the Search Engines, to receive a better placement on a keyword search, but I think that the effort must not be put on the tricks, but on the quality of the content.

Why?

   *  Every trick that you use will be discovered sooner or later by the Search Engines
   *  If the Search Engines discover you, they will ban your entire web site
   *  Search Engines evolve month after month, and they become more and more complex to cheat
   *  Search Engines keep on changing their algorithm
   *  Your web pages must please the Search Engines AND your visitor (or they will click away as soon as they arrive)

And what pleases the Search Engines AND the visitors?

 RELEVANT AND GOOD CONTENT about the keyword that they came looking for.

Do not waste your time in the optimization of website pages with the goal of manipulating the Search Engine´s algorithms, you will have to work too hard on the wrong part of your pages.

Work on your business instead, and write more optimized theme pages.

 THEME PAGES

It´s a fact that you mustn´t just go for visitors to your home page, because although your targeted visitors match the content of your web site, they have never seen your site before, they don´t know that your site exists, and they will arrive to your website through a search about a very specific theme.

Your home page will have many different offers, and a lot of information that not everybody wants to read about. Then your targeted traffic campaign should never be based on your home page, because your visitors will read it for not more than 6 seconds, and either you catch their attention or they´ll be moving to another web site.

You need to write many theme pages specially designed, and this is where the optimization of website pages is needed.

Your theme pages must:

   *  Load fast
   *  They must not have pop ups or pop under
   *  They must show your unique selling proposition or give the information in a flash
   *  They must offer such a good content that will compel your viewers to read your other pages, or go to your site´s home page
   *  They must have a clear call to action
   *  They must provide an easy way to bookmark them

 THE CONTENT

Your theme pages must have enough hooks to call the attention of the Search Engines.

The hooks are the specific keywords of each page (concentrating on only one keyword per page will do well).
Write every week a new web page and blend your hook (keyword) with excellent content about an specific theme.

You must make sure that you put your keyword...

   *  On the title tag
   *  On the keywords tag
   *  On the web page description
   *  On the body title
   *  On a comment
   *  On an image alt tag
   *  Bolded at any place of the body
   *  At the beginning, the middle and the end of your text

 TWEAK AND TESTING

In every advertising campaign you have to do testing, and when you are in an optimization of website pages campaign, you could tweak your pages, and test them changing the headlines, the meta tags, the length of the body, the colors, the web page layout, etc.

But my advice is that you must concentrate on creating new good content.

Once you have written a web page, make sure that your content has all the topics mentioned on the content´s title and then stop the testing there, don´t tweak, just build more content, and once you have 20+ web pages, start a links exchange campaign.

And as you build more good content for more keywords, and start getting more and more inbound links from your links exchange campaign, your keywords will start to rank higher and higher without endless tweaking and testing.

And persevere! Keep on building good content pages and exchanging links, it may take months to see the results, but it´s like a snow ball, just start rolling it and..

YOU WILL SUCCEED!

   *  Your less competitive keywords will rank better first
   *  Your links exchange campaign will give you some links to start
   *  Then people will start writing you asking to exchange links
   *  Then your most competitive keywords will rank better

So the optimization of website pages, boils down to only three steps.

   STEP 1: Build more and more web pages with good quality content, about keywords related with your web site´s theme
   STEP 2: Start a links exchange campaign
   STEP 3: Keep on building more web pages, and exchanging links, until you reach success

Advertise Your Site – New Fun Way To Do It

The success of getting new customers is dependent on several factors. One of the most important factors is the channels of advertising.
There are 3 key factors in choosing the right advertisement system:
1.  Clear ad visibility and straight forward call to action of your advertisement. The ad should be clearly viewed and should have the option for simple and straight call to action.
2. Price to Appearance ratio; this means that appearance should as high as possible to the price you pay; as much as this ratio is smaller than the advertising system is better for you, the publisher.
3.  Scalability of the advertising options; improving the number of viewer’s easily by paying small upgrade fees or spreading the link very easily.
Today there are some common techniques to advertise your website or business. They are versatile and start from SEO (Search engine optimization) techniques, which usually this will require skilled and professional internet marketing people.
Pay per click advertisement which you advertise such as Adword from Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Directories which you can place your ad for very small amount.
There is a new revolutionary system that can upgrade your advertisement way of thinking and get you a great exposure. It is called the ‘Best value deals machine’.
The best value deals machine works on simple basics (read full instruction – www.best-value-deals/how.asp):
First your ad will be always on the first page of the site, this means your site advertised always gets a link from a high page rank. If your ad is the most popular it will be on top which attract instantly the eyes of a visitor. You can help it be on top, how? , spread it out and let people come and see your ad. This will cause your receive points and it will go up. Not only do you put a verbal advertisement but you can put an image as well , this is a great way to attract more visitors to your site.
I would like to remind you that if you get linked on the first page, your link to your site will get a higher weight by the search engines, since the ranking and score which is calculated by the search engines, is higher on the home page on a domain. This will improve your site rank immediately (few days) and will attract more customers.

2 Sure-Fire Methods Proven To Convert More Customers

If you're a marketer your number one concern is customers.  You've probably read and heard a million and one ideas about how to build relationships, retain customers, create a list of potential customers, and inspire consmer loyalty.  But the tough question is, "How do I convert prospects into customers?"

There are a lot of people out there who see your ads, think about them, and maybe even say, "I ought to..."  They're just waiting to be convinced to to do something about it.  There is something you can do to get them moving!

1.  Improve Your Offer
No on can pass up the deal that's "too good to resist."  Think about it... how often do your customers want your product, but just want something else a little more?  That leaves you with a long list of "almost sales" that have the potential to be converted into real sales and profit.  Sweeten the deal.  Make the offer so good they can't resist it.

Now, I'm in no way suggesting that you drop your prices to sweeten the deal.  You can just as easily load it up with bonuses to increase the perceived value without cutting away at your profit.  Bonuses motivate sales, maybe even more than cut prices.

Don't let them lollygag.  Yeah, get them into the store pronto with a deadline.  They may have to put a competitors purchase on hold to get your deal, but hey... what's wrong with that?


2.  Follow Up
How would you like to increase your sales by more than 50 percent?  Yeah, it sounds good!  There's really a very simple tactic that you can implement... follow ups.

Chances are, prospective customers aren't going to buy your product the first time they see or hear about it.  Maybe it'll be the third or fourth, but they have to hear from you that third or fourth time before they actually become a customer.  Do you have a follow up system in place?

Simply contact the "almost customer" every month with a new offer, or give them more information about the product they are showing interest in.  It doesn't have to be an intricate process.  Keeping the contact there goes a long way toward building trust... the key to finding life-long customers.

Internet Marketers experience a high number of customers who browse their site, then click away.  You can't follow up without some form of contact information.  A great way to gather the info you need is to offer a free ebook or informative report that consumers will find of interest.  Once they've given you the information to email them the product, you have what you need to keep in contact, and work on converting them into loyal customers.

Personalize as much as possible.  If you can get the firstname of your customer... great!  Personalized messages have greater appeal than "addressed to occupant" messages.

3 Marketing Tactics That Will Send Your Sales Through The Roof

When the tide comes in, all boats in the harbor go up... the tough part is figuring out how to bring the tide in.  Booming economies come and go and bring surges of profit increases,  then ebb to leave behind shortages and tough times.  Regardless, there are some business that just seem to weather the tough times with grace, not really affected by recessions.  It's almost as though they have a secret source... maybe they do... customers.

Hey, customers always buy... in the good times and in the bad times.  They still have needs and still make purchases.  When you understand their needs and wants, you have the keys to keeping your business afloat when others are grounded.  Implement these three tactics successful marketers use, and you're set for success.

1.  Just One
Customers can be like a two year old in a candy store... they want it all.  Yeah, sometimes it's hard to make up your mind about what you really do want when everything looks so good.  That's why it pays to promote one product over the others.  It spells out loud and clear... I'M THE BEST DEAL.  That will be the deciding factor in most cases.

2.  Make Them Feel Good
Customers buy because they want to enjoy the benefits of the purchase.  A lady might buy a dress because she wants to feel sexy, or a man will buy a saw because he finds pleasure in creating things.  Emotions are the key element that drives purchases.

Use word pictures to stir up the emotions that will instigate the sale.  Let them "feel" the benefits, and they'll be more apt to head for the cash register.  Put them where you want them.

Selling a riding mower?  ... the birds are singing, Easter lilies are blooming and kids are flying kites in the wind... spring has arrived.  Yep, it's time to get out that mower and fuel it up for the summer ahead.  How many springs have come and gone since you promised yourself a riding mower? ... It's not hard to paint mental pictures that whet their appetite for the product you are advertising.

3.  Make Contact
Following up with a customer who didn't buy can be the determining factor between and "almost sale" and a satisfied, loyal customer.  Simply contact them afterwards and let them know the product is still available or offer them further information they may find valuable.

Internet marketers can offer free newsletters or reports that consumers find useful and marketers find profitable.  Not only do you keep your product in front of the customer on a regular basis, you get email information to stay in contact.  Both parties win!

3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.
There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.

The Best Totally Free Money Maker

After checking my Yahoo emails one day, I clicked on the calenders function inside my mail area. (something I never use) And to my surprise there are messages there from Yahoo Groups. I guess I never realized they can put things on your calender that way. Anyway I clicked on a message from a group called real_networkers that took me to a splash page for an e-commerce website called TripleClicks.com. Only not nescessarily to buy something from the website but to introduce me to ways to make money from the site myself.
Of course I've been around the net for a while and I wasn't enthused about  reading someones sales pitch for a business that doesn't make me any money again! Still this one is new to me and the form was easy to fill out and there was no obligation to pay for anything, only to learn how to make money.
