Don’t be one of the many business owners who get tempted by offers of “guaranteed” traffic for one very low price. A traffic scam is more likely the truth.
Some of these companies might send thousands of visitors or more weekly to your website, without you getting a single subscriber or even making a single sale.
Why? Traffic is generated by pop up windows appearing on other websites. Your website is loaded into a pop up window. So, someone may be surfing the net and your website pops up below the site he is searching. This results in sending out your website to thousands of untargeted customers. The key to success in list building is creating a list of TARGETED customers.
Targeted customers are customers that are most likely to be interested in buying your product.
Targeted customers have, in some way, offered their information (email address) and by doing so have shown that they are interested in one of your products. Let’s say you sell woman’s exercise outfits . You definitely want to create a targeted list of consumers, mostly women, interested in buying woman’s exercise outfits through the internet.
Building a list of customers not targeted towards your specific niche, your business unfortunately will be going nowhere. Most customers who are not targeted to your niche won’t be buying anything, and they don’t want to be hassled by traffic generating pop ups.
You also don’t need to be paying your email autoresponder company your hard earned money for a useless list.

Secrets Of Creating Wealth By Stephen Pierce

This is an article that was written by Stephen Pierce titled
“How the ‘Third Influence’ Affects Your Ultimate Success”
It is profound and impactful.
It helps you to understand that you can accelerate changes that you need to make and put yourself onto the right path toward the goals that you want to accomplish.
If you remember science classes for a moment, imagine water. There are two hydrogen molecules, and they have potential to become water. You need to add something else to them to make the water.
You need to add an oxygen molecule.
If you do this you have water, a living force.
If you take those same two hydrogen molecules and add the wrong third influence the outcome is different. For example if you add sulfur, this would create a stinky rotten egg gas that is highly poisonous.
This shows that if you have the wrong third influence in your life you can be completely off track from what you want to accomplish. There are many examples of where this has happened, such as with Mike Tyson, River Phoenix and Elvis Presley.
It is particularly commonly seen with young people, who are easily persuaded to get into drugs, early sex or alcohol.
There are third influences in your life that impact your life and decisions you make. Some of these things can be good such as certain movies or music, and others can be bad.
The Third Influence Chain Reaction …
There is often a chain reaction that takes place with the third influence. It can be seen with the young, in business and with scams.
What happens is this:
Something takes place to get your attention. In that process you accept that what got the attention may be probable or possible.
The third influence is extremely powerful. You have power and ability to control it.
Then you have an outcome.
This can be seen with the young with something like smoking marijuana.
Something happens and it gets the kid’s attention. Perhaps the smoking is being done by the cool guys. This associates the cool factor with it. It becomes cool.
The young person accepts the act as being cool. At that point they’re being persuaded. They want to be cool so they adopt it as something that is cool and start doing it. Then there is the outcome, they can become hooked on drugs and bad things can start to happen in their lives.
Gaining a Better Understanding of the Third Influence …
We have to understand the third influence. We can control the things we’re influenced by and we can counteract them. We can’t control what’s being said around us, but we can control what we watch on TV and who we hang around with, what we listen to and what we read.
One of the best ways is to find a mentor or someone who you can look up to who has accomplished what you want to.
Consider what your goal is, what is your objective? Are you aligned properly and congruently with this, to accomplish these things, are you letting yourself be influenced by the right things?
For your mentor make sure that you choose someone with a proven track record of success that you want to achieve as your third influence.
Think about who has accomplished what you want to achieve and how you can best be influenced.
You may not be able to go to that person’s house necessarily, but perhaps you can buy their books or CDs.
Ask yourself how you want to be in X area of your life, e.g. financially. Say you want to make $100,000 per year. Say you’re now making $50,000 per year in sales, and you want to double your income.
Look for role models – what are people doing in other areas. How can you look at and modify their ideas, how can you adjust and adapt that to improve your results in your area.
Find out who in your organization is already making that. What are they doing? Engage in conversations with them. Get hold of training material about it, get one on one coaching. Align yourself with this.
You need a time frame. Look at how many more prospect you need to call on, how you can refine openings and closings.
Model yourself on who knows how to do it best in your industry. This third influence in your life aligns you with what you want to accomplish.

Beware of Some Search Engine Optimization Companies
by Hans Kristian Anderson on Mar.11, 2010, under Search Engine Optimization
If your considering getting help from one of the many Search Engine optimization companies, begin by considering the approach they employ to elevate your Search Engine positions.
Make sure you stay away from companies that use cloaked, doorway, or bridge pages to raise your positions.
Techniques like the ones I just mentioned will violate most Search Engine policy, and in the worst case scenario, will get your website severely penalized, or worse yet, totally removed from a Search Engine’s index.
A cloaked page is a page that is created which is invisible to the regular visitor to your website. The cloaked page is coded to detect a Search Engine spider and divert them to this special page, which is set-up to artificially boost your Search Engine position.
Doorway or bridge pages utilize the same concept, but often reside on an entirely different server.
Google, The largest and most important Search Engine on the Internet, Google, will remove your website from their index if they detect you have cloaked pages.
It should go with out saying to never ever work with a company that uses these type of techniques!

Make A Good YouTube Video
by Hans Kristian Anderson on Mar.10, 2010, under Making Videos
The fact that is YouTube.com only gives you ten minutes to make a good impression. So, your going to want to make a good YouTube video for the best impression possible, right?
The question is, how to accomplish this? There are good and bad features that many videos have. Think about the last time you watched a movie trailer? Did you find it intriguing? Did it get you asking questions? Did you have the desire to see more?
You should be thinking along these lines when you create your online videos for YouTube. Think like you are creating a movie trailer.
Keep These 6 Key Points in Mind:
1 – Keep it short, remember you only have 10 minutes.
2 – Make your point.
3 – Get your message out.
4 – Provide clear shots and well-recorded audio.
5 – Make visitors want to come back for more.
6 – Graphically improve your video to keep the viewer intrigued.
Once again, ten minutes is not much time. You want to record a dynamic sharp video, make it unusual and anything but ordinary. Some of the most popular videos on YouTube are popular if for know other reason than the creator did something unique, different and interesting.
If you think you won’t be able to come up with a unique or creative video.
Think again.
Here is a quick and easy way that that will help you with your thought process. You are going to brainstorm so get some paper to write on. The first thing to do is make a list of your top 10 ideas that you have for making a great video.
Write down beside each idea what makes that idea appealing. If you don’t come up with at least five reasons why the idea is compelling, forget it and take it off your list.
Go through all 10 ideas and then narrow your list down to your top five ideas.
Now, try to define how you will present the information in your video to highlight your video in a unique and unusual way. Will you record atop the highest mountain? Will you dress funny? Will you include a popular sound track?
Whatever you decide, make sure you try something unique. People have every opportunity to watch something boring on television. They turn to YouTube.com to find interesting and intriguing things to view.
If your trying to brand and promote your website or websites, you have to try to make sure you do so in an interesting and creative way. Nobody wants to watch an infomercial on YouTube. So find a creative and entertaining way or at least not a boring way to get your message out.
Have fun with it.
