Part 2: BlogBrainstorming
Ok so the rules for blog content are….there are no rules and there areno limitations to what you can write, obviously you dot want to go insultingpeople or writing bad things about people or organizations coz that will just leadto bad press and bad remarks for your blog, or you may even get it shut down inserious cases…
Now there are differences in a profitable blog and a non-profitableblog. Ok so I want you to think back to the days of school and university…okcome back it`s not that long ago…
Your professor wasn’t exactly the mostexciting person was he or she…unless you had Miss….um ok sorry I`m back…thepoint I`m trying to make is you would rather read something from your bestnovel/favourite author than the boring professor right? Well for most of usanyway…
Most people that will come and read your blog would like to read “soft”or “light” stuff. They are looking forinfo that can be easily obtained and easily absorbed not like the professorsnotes…Try be personal in your blogs to keep people coming back, use your humouron some if it`s justifiable, everyone loves t smile and laugh. Another thingyou could use is free gifts, now I don’t always advise this but I don’t seeanything wrong with giving your readers something for taking the trouble toreading your blog.
Make your blog personal as if it’s a one on one…don’t write it like youwould a speech…you don’t want your visitors to think your of a higher authoritybut more of a personal friend.
Fresh topics need to be spoken about regularly to keep your readershiphigh so spice things up. The veryfirst option that I think a blogger should write on is a topic that he or shefeels passionate and interested in. You’ve chosen to make blogging your careerbecause you want to escape a mundane job – forcing yourself to write aboutsomething that you’re not interested in is as torturous as your mundane job!Not only will the topic keep you motivated to right your feelings and emotionswill shine through. If you feel indifferent to a certain subject but stillwrite about it just for the sake of it, your readers will notice it, justremember that.
Now the first few weeks will betesting but once you get into the swing of things and once you keep writing,more ideas will come flowing into your head and you blog will transformtremendously. What you can do is see what other bloggers are writing about andhave conversations with them and or getideas, now it`s not a good idea to copy and this can cause a lot of frictionand not the good kind I tell you. Youcan find other bloggers here…www.technorati.com and www.blogsearch.google.com
Another way to get good contentfor your blogs is www.youtube.com … www.skynews.com … www.espn.com it`s all about what you are gonna be writingabout. There are endless ideas out there.

And no he is not the messiah …its Marky Mark the blogger and ultra cool guy from www.pharside.co.uk , hehas various types of content on his blog that keeps people coming back…. Not tomention the free gifts I spoke about…not that I’ve actually won or gotanything… still a very good example!!!
Join forums to get to know morepeople, without even telling them about your blog the general curiosity onmankind will get them “checking you out” and soon they will ( after all myadvice ) be hooked on your blog!!!
Remember to keep up your momentumof posting at least once per day (or more if you have a lot of content to writeabout) so that the major search engines will know that your blog has freshcontent every day. This will attract the search engines to spider your page ona more frequent basis, hence gaining you extra traffic.
So go…run …get away and make meproud get those blogs going…
P.S send me the permalinks so Ican read and comment on them…

Part 1: The Set Up
For some people blogging is a way of life, their source of income andthis is very true. There are a number of ways to make money with blogs and thelifestyle that comes with it can be very relaxing and enjoying, I mean whowouldn’t want to just chill out at home or on holiday writing about theirfavourite topic and getting paid to do it. Yes some blogs make a lot more moneythan others do but that just depends on how hard you work and what market youare aiming at.
So in this article we are gonna discuss on where and how to set up yourblog for FREE!! Ok now I know you are at the edge of your seat after seeing theword FREE coz we all like things for FREE right??
Ok, so now you are wondering where do I get a blog or how do I set itup? There are a number of different websites that do blogs for free…examplebeing www.blogger.com which is owned by Google so it will be indexa lot faster which is a good thing. The other main blog site is www.wordpress.com now a lot of people might say that wordpress.com is better than bloggerwhich might be the case as it has a lot more advanced features, never the lessthey are both good ways to start off in the blogging world. There are alsosites like www.myspace.com and www.travelpod.com that do free blogs but just have a look around at the features and seewhat you think, although I don’t think you will go wrong with the first 2 thatI mentioned. Once you have progressed into an experienced blogger with alot ofreaders you might want to host your blog on your own domain name, the workinvolved is a lot more intense hosting and doing everything yourself but therewards can be worth it.
Once you have signed up and you have you blog have a play around withthe different options and templates so that your blog will suit your stylemore.
Ok so now once you have set up your blog here are some very importantwords that you need to learn about…
Number 1: Pinging… This is a great way to get traffic to yourwebsite…how you ask? Well pinging is the action used when a certain aggregator is notified when you blog isupdated. This aggregator will use this to show your latest post on his website,so it is important to use good quality content as in time thousands of peoplemay be reading your blog.
Number2: Permalink… no it`snothing to do with your hair?? Don’t stress it`s easier than you think…Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (uniform resource locator)that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog. So if you wantsomeone to read a specific article then you can use this link to send themright there, boom bam easy as that.
Number 3: Trackback – When youpost about someone else’s blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their“trackback” section. This feature is not available with some blogs and can be vitallyimportant to getting more traffic to your website…so make sure you check thefeatures of the blog you choose.
Ok so you know what to do, whereto go and what to look for so have fun and stop by soon for part 2….BlogBrainstorming.
I’ll be baaacckkk…..
There are
many ways to keep fit and many different ways to exercise; one must wonder
where to start. Now it is obvious and most recommended to stay fit and healthy,
this should not only make you live longer in life but also make you look and
feel good. It is always rewarding when a person complements you on your body
and your hard work.
But why
would you want to exercise and stay fit and healthy? I will give you a few
reasons why I think you should get your bum in the gym and exercise.
1: Exercise
contributes to Fat Loss...Shocking I know!
It is a
Scientific and well proven fact from all over the world that physical exercise
is contributes to excessive weight loss. How does this work you ask? Well if
you burn more calories than you consume through nutrition...you will lose weight... It is simple;
when you exercise you burn more calories than when you don’t exercise. The more
you exercise the more weight you will inevitably lose. It’s like when you’re a active kid...you are always running
around having fun, hence why most kids are fit and look healthy.
2: Exercise
has been known to prevent Disease:
There are a
few major / various diseases that are proven to decrease when exercising; they
are Heart disease, cancer, diabetes and the stroke. Stress and lack of exercise are factors that
cause 4 out of 5 deaths by heart disease and cancer. It is common knowledge that
diabetes increases the chance for heart attacks and strokes. Many of the risk
factors and disease caused by not exercising are working in conjunction to damage
your health. With your new found knowledge
about how exercise can prevent diseases and even death don’t you think this should
definitely kick your but into action to get fit and stay healthy?
3: Exercise
can improve diseases:
Exercising
regularly will reduce the risk of various diseases like prostate cancer for
men, breast and uterine cancer for woman. Exercise is known to improve and even
heal diseases mentioned in the above sentence and paragraph; by following a regular
exercise plan you can also lower HDL cholesterol levels, blood pressure and
Triglyceride levels. (Triglycerides are a type of fat;
Triglycerides also come from the food you eat. When you eat, your body uses
calories for immediate energy. Leftover calories are turned into triglycerides
and stored in fat cells for later use. If you eat more calories than your body
needs, your triglyceride level may be high.) All of this is scientifically proven which is all the more
to get off your bum and get into shape…
4:
Exercise can improve your state of mind:
Scientific
studies prove that regular exercise will lead to the increased release of endorphins
into the body. Endorphins will help fight off depression and make you feel
happy. Have you never noticed you always feel good after a workout, especially
a hard one, no matter how tired you feel from the workout your overall feeling
is good? The body usually starts to release the endorphins about 10-15mins into
your workout. Another very important chemical known to increase during and
after the workout is Serotonin. Serotonin is linked with the nervous system and
is associated with feelings of well being and decreases your mental depression,
and as a added bonus it will also help you sleep.
When
you are fit and healthy you will have an abundance of energy and your overall
mood will be good. You will be able to do a lot more around the house and at
work than you usually would. If you are fit and healthy, it will help you
personally achieve a better life, you won’t get tired when pushing yourself
beyond the limit and this can prevent you from going off track while trying to
achieve your goals. Once you start looking healthy you will naturally feel
better, your self esteem will grow, which will enable to meet new people and
make new friends, this will prevent you from feeling isolated. Exercise will
also increase your interest in sex, especially since you start to look and feel
better you will get more attention from ladies, men or both if you prefer…Let’s
be honest there is nothing worse than when you’re trying to work your magic and
you’re out of breath and unfit…at least when you are fit and healthy you can impress
your partner with your drive and confidence... this will certainly boost your relationship
or marriage.
So
now you know the health reason why you should keep fit and personally the main
reason I keep fit is in the last paragraph which I’m sure is the same for most
of us human beings. There are many ways to exercise at home, in the gym, cardio
training, weight training even just a jog every couple of nights with some sit
ups and press ups will be good for you and soon you will start to look and feel
better than ever before – your body will thank you and so will your partner.

Do you know
exactly what PPC advertising is and what it can do for your business?
Because of
high rates of placing ads on print or television, people nowadays take
different kinds of austerity measures when it comes to advertising their
products and services. But there is a fast growing approach that businessmen
can utilize to bring their services closer to the people and that is through
Internet Marketing. More and businesses are taking to the web to do
advertising, with 1.7 billion users per day its no wonder business owners are
heading this way.
One tool
that is causing internet marketing popularity is PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising. This is a technique used in search
engine marketing that requires one to pay a fee every time someone clicks an ad
for your website. Usually this placement is done through a bidding process. If
you are a top bidder for your keywords/phrases, you are sure to be on the
number one spot on all search engines. The secret is to just be sure of the
effectiveness of your ad copy to get the most number of clicks you need for
your business.
Engaging in
pay-per-click (PPC) advertising has its own benefits and drawbacks.
Here are the
benefits of PPC advertising:
1. You need not be a genius in computer
and technology to be able to run this ad campaign.
2. Immediate results are seen in just a
few days.
3. No need to make a website conform to
the SEO rules.
4. Nothing to lose even if you do not
top the pages of different search engines.
5. You can make use any search engine
available.
6. You can type in any keyword you
like.
Cons of PPC
advertising includes:
1. Fixed payments every month to the
search engine you choose.
2. Pay for each click received by your
website. At times, visitors are just
competitors or people playing pranks on search engines. This hassle
wastes money you put in to this advertising.
3. Inability to pay for the fees next
month would mean removal of your website on the paid listings.
4. This advertising can only be used
temporarily because it is difficult to handle in the long run.
5. Pay-per-click pricing can be costly
for long periods of time, therefore, this should be stopped after an ad
campaign.
But how
exactly PPC advertising can increase traffic, leads and sales?
PRE-QUALIFIED
TRAFFIC. All visitors of your website are already considered as a qualified
consumer or buyer of your product. PPC advertising leads your customers to you
for a lesser cost.
INSTANT
EXPOSURE, IMMEDIATE PROFITS. PPC search engines enable you to get your desired
results fast. They will have your website live within just a few hours which
means immediate increase in sale.
CONSISTENT
TOP LISTINGS. This is to get your website on top of the sponsored search
results for free. You choose the keywords related to your business and place
them within your web pages. After this, you are done.
PPC
advertising enables advertisers to control their advertising campaigns.
Advertisers have effectively targeted their audience and set their own price
per click. PPC advertising networks provide the platform to identify the
desired audience by geographic setting, topic and industry. These networks have a list of websites of the
publishers where the ads will be placed.
Tools are
provided by the networks to check how the pay per click limit is working for a
certain advertiser. If its still competitive, it would be listed among the paid
search lists generating sales. Of course, if the advertiser made the highest
bid, the better chances the ad will be seen in the search engine. These networks
do provide protection for the advertisers against click fraud. This advertising
set-up allows advertisers to set a daily budget for his ads, thus, less
spending for unnecessary clicks. Advertiser will never go over his budget.
In PPC
advertising, what is important are the keywords and phrases. You have to select
at least ten "very specific" keywords that would give you the best
traffic in the search. Then, write the ad creatively but straightforward. Tell
the truth about your product or service and do not lie. Ensure your product or
service will not disappoint those that are relying on your ad's promise. Another important factor is the clarity of the
ad. Do not use very vague languages. Include important details like the price.
You should
also remember to budget your bids. Do not go overbidding because you will only
lose your money and do not go so low that your ads will never get the chance to
show up. Check your profit against your spending. If you see no progress then
most likely you have to drop your ad campaign.
More and
more advertisers have been using PPC advertising and it will continue to grow
faster than any online advertising techniques. From revenues of $2.6 billion in
2004 to $5.5 billion in 2009, cost per click will dramatically go up as well
from $0.29 to $0.36.

Hey everyone...
Ok, so for the next couple of weeks ill be writing about Landing Pages and why they are so important.
Before You even think about buildinng a powerful sales page or a long and successful list, you really do need to a rigorous intro to landing pages. a Landing pages primary objective is to capture the leads info for a news letter and or making a sale for a specific product- you should never give the visitors any other option.
Another term used for a landing page is a "squeeze" page. A squeeze page is designed to get name and email address. A squeeze page is usually a smaller type of landing page,which has the main facts and opt-in form in site when the page loads.
All successful marketers use landing pagees and squeeze pages. If you plan to sell a product over the internet you will want to use one, rather the just relying on sidebar opt-in forms and infocused pages that do not convey a single point and a single call to action.
The most important thing to take away from this intro to landing pages is hat every single landing page contains the same parts and is focused on one goal...GETTING THE VISITORS DETAILS AND BECOMING A SUBSCRIBER OR A BUYER.
Landing Pages/squeeze pages must have the following:
* An opt-in form
* A brief or lengthy intro ( I wouldnt make it to long )
*A picture of the Product owner or List.
*A call to action
Above is a link to you my retail center where you can get more info on list building and get great templates for landing and squeeze pages.
