Very Effective Free Traffic Source!
Are you like most of the internet marketing world and believe you have to engage in PPC (pay-per-click) campaigns to achieve the amount of traffic that you need to run a successful online business? It is true that PPC can have a great impact on your business but it can also have a great impact on your wallet. So what are you going to do if you are just starting out and need massive amount of traffic to your site and you don’t have a huge marketing budget to help with your fund your efforts? Well there are some outstanding free (organic) traffic sources that can be your “saving grace” so to speak.
The number one thing to remember about your internet marketing campaigns is that to be successful you are going to have to have a good list of keywords. There are some really good keyword discovery tools out there but for this article we are only going to talk about “Google’s Free AdWords Keyword Tool”. You want to find some good long tail keywords (2-4 word phrases) to put into your keyword list. These keywords are usually less competitive and can provide you with the traffic generation you need for your site. A “general rule of thumb” for a qualifying keyword is one that has about 100-1000 searches a day and has less than 100,000 competing websites for that keyword. A good keyword list is a vital part to your online success!
Now that you have done your keyword research, it is time to start your marketing campaigns. First you will want to sit down and write a article for each one of your keywords (you don’t have to do all of these articles upfront you can space them out over a period of time, maybe one everyday or every other day just get started on them). Follow good SEO (search engine optimization) practices like: including your keyword in your title and placing that keyword strategically throughout your article. You want to make sure you do this right the first time so you are not wasting your time or energy and have to come back later to fix it. Once you are finished writing your articles you want to submit it to some article sites. Ezine Articles has a lot of pull with the Google rankings so it is a good place to start with submitting your article. Now you will want to build backlinks to your site (do a Google or Youtube search to find out more about this).
Ok, now that you have the “groundwork” in place, it is time to get creative with your marketing efforts. You can use the content of your article to create a video to promote your article and your website ( see my blog post about video marketing here). Once you have made a video of your content use a free service like TubeMogul to submit you video to multiple sites. Another strategy is to make a blog post about your article. WordPress and Blogger both are very good blog services that are suitable for this strategy.
Bottom line here folks, is that you can be as creative as you want to be. There are so many ways to drive free (organic) traffic to your website and all of them can produce the results that you want. But you have to put in the work for these strategies to get results.

Need More Traffic to Your Site?
So the day has finally come that you are ready to start driving traffic to your new content enriched website or blog. You have indexed you site with all of the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. You have used your best SEO (search engine optimization) techniques on the content. You did all of the keyword research to make sure you are getting laser targeted traffic to your site. You feel like you are ready to start your journey on becoming a marketing guru. But there seems to be a small problem after “going live” with your great content site. You still are not getting the tons of traffic that you were expecting. Don’t feel bad because we have all faced this problem before. And I am going to give you a tip that will help you in your traffic woes.
I bet you are thinking that I am talking of this new and great “traffic generating system”. But the truth is what I am going to tell you about is a simple yet proven method of producing more traffic for your site. Well without wasting anymore of your time here is the secret that is going to help you with your traffic jam. Make a video to promote your site. I told you that it was simple.
Now I know some of you are getting a little nervous right now. You might be thinking that you are not one of those slick marketing types with the perfect teeth and looks of a GQ model. Fact is that that isn’t what is important. The most important part is that you understand how powerful video marketing can be for your marketing campaign.
When it comes to making a video you need to follow the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid!) method. It could be just you in front of the camera or if you are making a slide show type of video it doesn’t matter. As long as your message is clear and to the point your video will be a success. Keep your video around three minutes in length to make sure that you keep your viewer’s attention. There are some people with a lot less knowledge of the internet marketing world who are laughing all the way to the bank because they have figured this secret out.
So the bottom line is this: people want to connect with you and how better to connect with you then seeing your face on a video telling them about your site. Don’t think for a minute that the major players in the marketing world are not using this method. Why don’t you give it a try and you’ll see amazing results almost overnight.

The Scary Truth About Your Retirement…
Most people never really think about retirement. I know I didn’t…until it suddenly hit me that with our current economy and the uncertainty of the future I’d better plan things differently.
It’s true that today, the financial security of American workers is more uncertain than it has been in decades. We’re now all watching private pensions collapse and public sources come under pressure. The news is full of stories about the mounting research showing that most Americans are ill prepared to cope with the task of creating a nest egg to rely on when we’re too old to work. We think our 401(k)s will be the answer, but no matter how well you think you are saving, the list of risks is a long one, according to Alicia H. Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research.
The National Retirement Risk Index (NRRI) has shown that even if households work to age 65 and annuitize all their financial assets, including the receipts from reverse mortgages on their homes, nearly 45% will be ‘at risk’ of being unable to maintain their standard of living in retirement.
Now that’s scary!
The average baby boomer today will need well over one million dollars in the bank when they retire to continue enjoying the lifestyle that they are accustomed too! Think about it! How close are you to that million?
A better question is…What are you currently doing about this?
Financial security may seem tougher to reach than ever, but there ARE things you can do. If you want to help ensure you have the nest egg you need to retire with plenty of money in the bank, then it’s time to start RIGHT NOW! Experts say developing a second passive income can greatly help change your financial picture. And that’s exactly what I have done and I would recommend you do also.
Bottom line people, you are responsible for your own financial future and security. Don’t wait until it is too late to start preparing for your retirement. And don’t be fooled into thinking that your 401k’s is going to be the “golden nest egg” that they promise that they are going to be. (Remember Enron) Prepare for the worst and if it never comes then you are that much more in the clear.

3 Keys to Unlock your Network Marketing Success Plan
Do you ever wonder what it would take to have success in the Network Marketing Industry? There are three critical “keys” to help unlock door that keep you from your goals. Most new entrepreneurs are stopped “dead in their tracks” without using the three keys to build their businesses right the first time. But by using these three simple keys you can unlock the secrets to have massive amounts of success in your Network Marketing Opportunity. So what do you say…. Want to know what the three keys are? Of course you do so here they are.
*1. Find a Network Marketing Opportunity that you are Passionate About.
This key seems to follow the common sense rule. If you are ever going to have any success in the Network Marketing Industry then you are going to have find something you are interested in. Because when you are passionate about something you tend to be more energetic and confident about sharing your business with others. Along with energy and confidence, motivation will also be present if you have passion for your business. These factors to the success equation are vital because if you don’t believe in you or your opportunity then how are you ever going to get someone else to believe in it also.
*2. Find a Coach/Mentor/Sponsor that will help guide you along the way.
If you want to have success in the Network Marketing Industry, you are going to need to be part of a team. So many times in this industry people try to go at the process of building a successful business alone. This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. You are going to need someone that can motivate, inspire, and often times give you a “swift kick in the pants” to keep you on the path of success. Find someone that will hold you accountable to you goals. And remember these people were probably just like you at one time but they had enough brain power to get help along their way. The fastest way to success is to find someone that has already had success and let them teach you how to obtain it.
*3. “Just Do It”
That is right folks… You hear this phrase all the time and it is absolutely the simplest truth known in the business world. Your Network Marketing Success depends on you taking action or “just doing it”. If you really want your internet marketing business to thrive you are going have to work it just like any other business. You are going to have to “punch the clock” just like you were going to the office or factory to work. If you think that you can just buy into one any opportunity and you bank account is going to explode with profits, then you have bad news coming to you in the near future. Treat your business like a million dollar business and it might just grow into one… but if you treat it like a hobby then that is all it will ever be. And in my experience hobbies usually cost more money than they ever make.
