Commitment - Determination - Hard Work!

Commitment - Determination - Hard Work!

If you're self-employed, underemployed, unemployed, unemployable, senior citizen, disabled, single parents and the disenfranchised of our society you can change all of that and make your dreams of becoming successful a reality.

Home based businesses are becoming more and more popular everyday. The reasons are obvious....like working your own hours with no travel time to and from the office....saving on fuel cost and avoiding traffic jams for hours on end. The way to become truly wealthy is to be in business for yourself. This gives you peace of mind.....and freedom to do the things in life that you have only dreamed about till now.

If your dreams have been to own you own business and didn't have a clue where to begin....now there's hope. In our recent articles we've discussed the importance of owning and using the proper marketing tools in your business. It is also important to learn how to use these tools religiously.

There are automated systems that will do a good part of the work for you. These programs are extremely effective and very affordable. These systems were designed to empower the self employed....etc. By using these effective marketing tools you can earn a lifetime of multiple residual incomes.

There are no free lunch's here folks! It's going to take a lot of hard work. If you are not a self motivated individual or at least be willing to become a regimented person who can follow a plan...then....this program may not be for you. However, if you have a strong work ethics and a positive attitude....the sky is the limit of what you can accomplish in your future.

There is a quote I recently read which says "Success is doing...until you find what works". A good example of this was Babe Ruth....the strike out king of baseball. Why was he so successful in his career? Because he wasn't afraid to step up to the plate and take a swing at the ball even if was outside the box. Babe became one of the most popular icons of the game of baseball simply because he was committed to try and try again. Babe still remains one of the favorite baseball players of all time.

Many peoples idea of success is having great wealth. Some individuals idea of success is to always win. There are also individuals who are totally content to live their life without change. Just doing the everyday mundane chores is fine for many individuals....they have no drive....no desire to better themselves. This stepping out concept is not for them.

There are going to be many times you may fall.....if you fall, get up....brush yourself off....refocus and proceed to try.... try again. Success is not all about having great wealth or always achieving your goals. Wealth is the fruits and the rewards that has come to you from being successful. You have to want success....to achieve success.

Thomas Edison once said "I failed my way to success!" Failure is the end result of successful people who were committed to make it happen.

The great fried chicken king, Colonel Sanders failed several time in his lifetime. He dropped out of school in seventh grade. Had several different jobs covering a vast array of vocations. I read recently that he declared bankruptcy three times in his career, however, at age 65 he took $105 from his first Social Security check to fund visits...for potential franchisees. He hit on the secret of success. He got that secret recipe we often hear about. Not just the combination of herbs and spices.....but the recipe for success was determination.....commitment and hard work which gave him a huge reward for all the past efforts he had suffered thru for 65 years. He enjoyed the rewards of his commitment and determination until he passed away at age 91. What a tremendous example of success. The KFC chicken ain't bad either.

Learn the correct way to market and success will follow. Forget the concept of selling on the internet...that will come later if you learn the process of marketing your idea. Once you learn the art and science of marketing you will be able to promote any product or service. Once learned the rewards will be making sales and enjoying the rewards of your persistence, and you....made it all happen. Your success is your hands and only your hands. Stick with big talkers and blow hards....if you want to go nowhere. However, If you desire success.....more than anything else in your future then....learn from the professionals....if you want to become a successful professional then hang with the professionals and learn from them. There are free training sessions being offered online. Take advantage of the classes and apply the things you learn in these classes to further your business promotions. Don't try to go this road alone......let the pro's show you the road map of how to accomplish your journey so you can fulfill your desires and dreams.

Understanding Search Engines

Understanding Search Engines

There are different search engines for different types of applications. There are two types of engines we want to address today. There are the Free Submission Search Engines and there are Manual Submission Search Engines.

The Free Submission Search Engines - are exactly as stated - they allow free submissions. Most of these kind of search engines will also allow some form of automated submission services. There are basically three different types of search engines we can use in our marketing efforts.

There are General Search Engines - Directory Search Engines - FFA Search Engines - To help you understand the differences we will discuss the similarities and differences in greater detail below.

General Search Engines can be referred to in different ways. Some people call then Spider engines and other refer to the general engine as an Indexing Search Engine. With this type of search engine you don't submit your website details...just your URLs. With this type of Search Engine the engine will go to your website and retrieve you site details from the Meta Tag description in the source code. Google, Alta Vista, and many of the major engines use the General Search Engine criteria.

Internet Directory Search Engines - These directories are not automatically generated but are put together in categories and linked together by topics. These directories are compiled by editors and in most cases will produce more laser focused results to a targeted market. One such example of this type of engine is Yahoo.

FFA Search Engines - FFA stands for Free For All links and pages. The FFA pages will have a short comment and in some way will probably be linked together. The FFA are not edited by a review board and the owners of these sites must register the website themselves. This service normally is very effective because it immediately post to the internet and it's free.

As you can see by the descriptions above the time frame for indexing your website by the search engines will vary. Some may post within a matter of hours, while others may take days or weeks to post. Some may not index your URL at all. Be patient and after 30 days you may want to resubmit.

There are additional differences between the various types of search engines that we discussed earlier.

Not all Search Engines accept Auto Submissions so if you want your URL indexed you must do some manual submission in addition to the automated submissions. Many of the manual post are extremely powerful so don't neglect this type of opportunity. You may even want to hand index to the search engines for quicker results. Use your own good judgement and don't over submit.

There are basically three types of search engines we want to discuss in this article. Free Manual Submission - Pay-Per-Inclusion - Pay-Per-Click.

With the Free Manual Submission of course it's free, however you must submit your URLs manually. For example Alta Visit is a Free Engine, however, you must enter the computer image each time you login. Whenever a generated code is required - it is a manual submission. DMOZ is another example...with them you must select the correct category from their directory before you can submit to their system.

With the Pay Per Inclusion Engines any advertiser must pay some form of a fee to get their site listed in the Inclusion search engine. LookSmart, Yahoo and others are Inclusion Engines. Under normal circumstances your website will be indexed within 24 hours and your listing will be updated frequently. You must pay a renewal fee every six months or per year depending how you setup your account. By paying these fees does NOT guarantee a particular position with that search engine. Optimizing your site and hand indexing your URL may earn you a higher ranking.

With the Pay Per Click Search Engines there are four terminologies used to describe this type of service. Pay Per Ranking - Pay Per Placement - Pay Per Performance - Pay Per Position. This process allows you to list your website at a particular position of the search results according to the keyword bid. The higher you bid the higher your site will appear in the search results. You can start your bid from 1 cent per click for most of the major PPC engines, some PPC engines have a minimum bid of 5 cents per click. You list your website by selecting keywords that refer to your products or services. For each keyword you determine how much you are willing to spend and what position you want to compete for.

The information we've discussed here today is merely an overview of the differences between the choices of search engines and how they function. If you have additional questions or need some personal mentoring you can contact our eBiz Solutions Team at the contact information listed below.

Goal Setting!

Goal Setting!

Most people think that goal setting in nothing more that setting down with pen and paper and writing down specific things that we want to accomplish in our life. These goals should be measurable and have a specific time frame.

Personal goals setting is something we've all done in the past....but how many times have we accomplished the goal? Many time our normal everyday activities get in the way of accomplishing our goals. There are two main areas we normally think about when we think of goals. First of all financial goals always seem to be the priority. Sure we've all dreamed about becoming a millionaire....but have we taken the steps in our life to make it all happen? Second.....personal goals is the pivot point in most peoples outcome of success or failure. Personal goal must be realistic in order for the financial goals to become a reality.

It's not enough for us to just write something down and assume it's going to happen. You must make sure you set a specific date and work aggressively towards that goal. If you by chance don't meet your goal, then set another goal and work hard to fulfill that goal. Normally we must have a change of heart and mind to accomplish our goals. Just being the normal every day guy probably won't cut it. You must be the above average individual who thinks outside the box of what the world considers normal.

To accomplish our goals we must be totally focused on the rewards we will receive at the end of our journey and the differences that our efforts have made in our lives and the people around us.

Businesses use the principle of goal setting to motivate their employees. The more employees are motivated, the more they are stimulated and interested in accepting goals. The more difficult the tasks ahead, a smaller group of people will possess the necessary skills and strategies. The business will give the employees incentives to get the employee to work harder for some kind of a reward at a future date. This could be in the form of a nice bonus, promotion, longer vacation or some other carrot that the business will dangle in front of the employee. Those who are motivated will accomplish those goals that have been offered, however, there is always the person who is content with normal job requirements and will not put forth any additional efforts. Who do you think will get recognized for a job well done? I think the answer is quite obvious. Naturally thse who put forth no extra effort are going to blame everybody else for their lack of accomplishment. You'll probably never hear the winners complain at all.

Our goals must be tangible, specific, realistic and a time table for the accomplishment of our goals. Be realistic when setting any goal. You could set a goal of traveling around the world on the hundred dollars you've saved over the last few months. Get real...you would be lucky to get to the next town. However, you could set a realistic goal of backpacking in the Redwoods of California for a week. That's more realistic if you're conservative.

Every goal we will ever have is a matter of problem solving. The more activities, resources, training and support...the more likely your chances of accomplishing your goals. There are a couple of other things that will make a difference. Our intelligence, geographic location and our support availability are a few of the other things that will make a difference in our success.

The following are some quote from Wikipedia ... The Free Encyclopedia:

"Goals focus attention towards goal-relevant activities and away from goal-irrelevant activities.

Goals serve as an energizer; higher goals will induce greater effort while low goals induce lesser effort.

Goals affect persistence; constraints with regard to resources will affect work pace.

Goals activate cognitive knowledge and strategies which allows employees to cope with the situation at hand.

Goal commitment...People will perform better when they are committed to achieve certain goals."

In Summary: Be willing to put your goals on paper. Hang that note in a place that you are forced to look at it on a daily basis. Work toward that goal with all sincerity and be willing to rework your goals if you don't quite get there when you thought you would or you got to your goal sooner than you thought you could. Reconsider how you got to your goal and make adjustment accordingly.

If you need further assistance on setting your realistic goals, you can contact the eBiz Solutions Team for your free 30 minute consultation.
