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.
