“How to Boost Your Traffic and Profits with Content!”

Are you aware of how vitally important and valuable
CONTENT is to your online business? In fact, content
can do more to build your business and profits than
just about any other resource or service available.

Following is a list of 5 key ways that content can help
build your traffic, subscribers, and customers starting
today!…

1. Boost your search engine ranking and daily visitor
count by posting keyword rich articles and content on
your web-site. For example, if your business involves
offering products and services related to fitness,
posting fitness related articles and content will
attract unlimited prospective customers on a regular
basis!

2. Generate double or even triple the number of
newsletter subscribers you do currently, simply by
offering content in the form of “special reports” or
manuals as bonuses for subscribing to your publication.
People love freebies, so give them what they want and
watch as your results increase!

3. Create an automated cashflow by using content to
formulate multi-part email training courses with
related web-site or affiliate links “sprinkled”
throughout each course. Use an autoresponder service to
automate the delivery of your training course (such as
a 5 part training course delivered over a 5 day
period).

Training courses can also serve as excellent bonus
offers for your prospective newsletter subscribers.

4. One of the most important keys to a successful
online business is not JUST having a list of mailing
list or newsletter subscribers… It’s about building a
trusting relationship with your subscribers (ie,
“cultivating” your list)…

By sending informative articles (content) to your list
on a regular basis you will establish yourself as an
expert on your topic of business, as well as gain the
trust of your subscribers over time. As a result, your
subscribers will be EAGER to take advantage of your
“paid” product and service offers. (Just make sure
that you NEVER take advantage of the relationship you
develop with your list by offering products or services
of poor quality just to make a quick buck!)

If there is one “constant” in Internet marketing, it’s
this: A cultivated list of subscribers is as good as
money in the bank. Write that down and never forget
it!

5. Another excellent way to generate no cost traffic is
by submitting ready-made articles to “content hungry”
web-site and newsletter publishers with your “resource
box” attached. A resource box is nothing more than a
little 3-6 line “bio” about you and/or your web-site -
including a link to your site (or even instructions on
how to subscribe to your newsletter)…

When submitting or offering your article(s) for reprint
purposes, just make sure to specify that each article
is to be reprinted “as is” with your resource box
attached.

…Even one article can go a LONG way towards
generating no cost traffic and visitors for you. Just
imagine your article being sent out to a newsletter
subscriber base of 100,000 individuals – many of whom
will be reading YOUR included resource box and clicking
on your URL to learn more about what you have to
offer!

Well there you have it, 5 sure ways to build your
online business exponentially with the help of articles
and content…

With the declining effectiveness of many of the online
advertising methods that we’ve relied on in past years,
content is only strengthening its position as the
ultimate KEY to generating unlimited traffic,
subscribers, and customers!

Focus on one task at a time? Are you nuts, what if the
phone rings, or someone sends me an e-mail. (see previous posts)

To put this idea into perspective. If you had to get to the other
side of town and there was a direct (no distraction) route and a
route with many street changes and stoplights (phone calls and e-mails),
how much faster could you get there with the direct route?

Seems pretty simple until you try it with the phone on, the office door open
and someone chatting at you.

You can achieve focus by doing a little preperation before starting the task.

• Turn off the phone
• Shut the door
• Get what you will need to complete the task ready to go
• Make sure the task is a task and not a series of tasks or a mid-size goal

Now that the distractions are out of the way, Set a time limit for completing
your task on The Action Machine and go to it.  My bet is you will automatically
stay more focused on the task at hand and complete it before the timer goes off.

Give it a try, you will surprise yourself!

What do you mean work disconnected????? How can I work if I’m
disconnected? Well believe me it is easy.

This is short and to the point. REMOVE THE DISTRACTIONS!

• Turn of the phone! Cell phones too!
• Turn of the e-mail!
• Turn off Skype and Facebook
• Close the Office Door and put up a sign “DO NOT DISTURB”

If you remove these distraction, you will get a flow going which means
a momentous amount of actual progress and work will get done.

So close the door and get started!

How Much of Your Life are your wasting?

Please, you need to be honest with yourself when you read this!

When you take a step back and evaluate what you accomplished each day, what are the typical results?

• Are you happy with what you accomplished?
• Did you spend too much time sleeping? watching TV?
• Or Did you get everything done you set out to get done? If so, Congratulations!

Lets do a little math for this post.

Something we wish we could all change, but can’t is the fact that there are only 24 hours in each day.
If we are generous and give ourselves 8 hours for sleep, then there is 16 hours left in the day, or 112
hours in a week for other stuff.

Are You Making The Most of These 112 Hours?

Okay, some more leniency, eating, getting ready for the day and other leisurely activities can take
up another 3 hours per day (this is very lenient). You still have 91 hours per week for getting things
done in your life.

Still working the grind, 40 to 60 hours per week?  Will give you the 60 hours per week, leaving 31
in the week left to get things done. That is almost 4 1/2 hours per day!  What can you do in 4 1/2
hours extra per day?

• Watch TV
• Read a good book
• Start an Online Business
• Make That Online Business Grow
• Take a Nap
• Learn how to get 8 hours of work done in that 4 1/2 hours

All good things, and everyone has a different opinion.

However if you are looking to improve your life, and actually get somewhere
then I suggest you make those 4 1/2 hours count. Heck even making 1 hour a
day count, will get you further along than 99% of the population.

Two things I recommend you do right now before it is too late!

What is mind mapping

Mind map drawn by Aranya – GNU Free Documentation License

Short answer: A very useful image based method for brainstorming.

However, this short answer only covers a fraction of what mind mapping is about. And of course there is a more precise description of mind mapping available at Wikipedia.

Mind mapping is about collecting ideas arranged in a tree like diagram. From a programmers point of view, the creation of such diagrams requires graphical processing. As web browsers weren’t able to do graphical processing for a long time, such applications only existed as classical desktop applications which had to be installed. But times have changed, computers got faster and browsers became more powerful. Mind Mapping is now available as a pure web application – with all its advantages. And because of this, no installation required and your work is accessible anywhere you have an internet connection!

Being a web application, Mind42.com enables another interesting feature realizable on the web: collaboration. Brainstorming is no single user activity – the more people take part in a brainstorming session, the better the results will be. When using mind42, every participant of a brainstorming session has an immediately updated view onto all the already collected ideas.

KickInTheButt.com uses a website called Mind42.com for all of our mind mapping. By using the web based version we can collaborate with ease, and work on out mind maps from anywhere.  It truly is amazing to say the least.
