Let me share with you a quick story.
I was on Messenger, chatting with a girl I met online. You know from one of those social network sites like Myspace. This girl was from the same island I live in, Malta.
Somewhere in the middle of our conversation she asked me for my digits. This is how the chat continued…
She: May I know your digits please?
Me: Sure 5551234
Me: Five, Five, Five, One, Two, Three, Four
She: LOL
Me: So you can verify 
That was a bit funny.
Now what the heck has this to do with SEO? [Read more →]

Many online marketers seem to have lost a piece of the sales puzzle that is essential to marketing in the real world – the art of selling yourself.
In truth, your online personality can be as useful a marketing tool as the product or service you are marketing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to a website intent on buying a product only to decide not to when the site was cold and impersonal. Personality sells, people! [Read more →]

About a week ago I was experiencing some serious problems with my laptop – the damn thing would repeatedly overheat and automatically shut down within an hour. Irritated and annoyed, I got up and drove to my local Best Buy store in search of a new ‘investment’ and decided a desktop computer would be the way go. After a few minutes of browsing around, I found my ideal computer; an HP Media Center Intel Core 2 Quad, yadda, yadda…A very good investment indeed – an Investment all internet marketers need.
To run your online business, tools are needed for your success. Just like a carpenter and his tool box, your computer is the apparatus that will make you money! Not only is it necessary to have a dependable laptop or desktop in front of you at all times, marketing software and the right tools are crucial to complete certain tasks.

Product reviews are probably one of the most lucrative affiliate marketing opportunities out there. A well executed review – complete with delicious keyword-rich content – can bring about more purchases than a Dollar Store on pay day. While writing a review is far from rocket surgery, there are a few key factors that can mean the difference between a few paragraphs taking up space on your web site and a real review that gets noticed by search engine robots and the people who use them.

We’ve all heard the saying,
“I’d be rich if I had a nickel for every time…”
…I hear Paris Hilton say, “That’s Hot!”
…I receive an email trying to sell me Viagra
…I see a rerun of “So You Think You Can Dance” on TV
Frankly, I’d be rich if I had a nickel for every personal MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) invitation I’ve received last year. Honestly, I’m grateful for each invitation and I’m not against MLM business. I’m just irritated of people labelling me as an MLM’er because I also ‘refer people’ to products.

Have something new and different to say
It may seem obvious, but simply spouting off a bunch of statistics or rewording something that has already been said by a hundred others isn’t going to bring any longevity to your website traffic.
Regardless of how much effort you put into getting people to the door, most of them are going to leave unless you quickly present them with a reason to stick around. Put some time and research into your content and your energy will be rewarded by traffic that not only stops by for a quick glance, but comes back again and again. [Read more →]

Don’t let the TV commercials fool you – starting a business online is anything but easy! There is more competition on the Internet than there is in the real world, because your competitors can literally be from anywhere on the planet. So what are the most common mistakes and how do you avoid them?
MYTH #1: It doesn’t cost anything to start a business online
While it is true that you can have a website online without spending a dime, when it comes to business you are going to have to come off your wallet here and there. Now I’m not suggesting that you go out and spend thousands of dollars on a high end website, but even the most basic business sites have costs associated with them. Domain name registration and web hosting fees won’t break the bank, but they aren’t free either. [Read more →]
