You are very rich and you are pretty lazy, don’t read it further. If you really like true traffic, which is interested in watching your site, do follow these steps. These steps will allow you to optimize you sites traffic. Here we go:

If you own a forum:-

1. Find moderators: - First of all look for other good forums and try to make friends who can help you in moderating your forum. Their viewer based suggestions will help you in driving more traffic.

2. Topics: - Choose carefully the topics for discussion on your forum. Less controversial are better. Try topics discussing the general problems. Topics like review a website or software work good. Healthy battlefields where viewers get to show their talent are good for building traffic to your forum.

3. Easy sign-up forms: - Bulky sign-up forms will drive away users from your forum. Open forums are much better in this context.

4. Follow rules: - Always follow healthy rules. Never let anybody use your forum for abusing others. Try to delete such posts as soon as you can.

5. Lot of topics: - Try adding more and more topics for your forum. But do keep track of the categorization of each topic.
Try to keep only the useful topics. Some funny ones will help.

Don’t have a forum (no problem try these)

Try to add your views to the maximum number of forums you can. They don’t cost you a penny but will attract visitors to your site. If your view helps somebody, may be you gain an admirer and a loyal visitor to your site. The more popularity your name would gain, more traffic you will generate. Always put your link in the signature, not into the body of the post. Never post a negative view. It will begin unnecessary abusive debate. And the most important, try to become a moderator for other forums.

These simple steps will fetch you a lots of traffic at no cost.
It is better to waste your time posting reviews than trying to build traffic using link exchange or other unworthy means.

Getting Your Family Involved In Your New Home Business - For Fun and Profit

Copyright 2003 by Henri G. Schauffler http://www.familybizbuilder.com

Starting a home business is seldom easy and we need support from our loved ones.

Between the family, friends and neighbors there are a lot of people close to you that will want to know what you’re doing. You probably have already found out that they’re not always supportive!

Could you wait a minute, please? - My wife is telling me that I need to help with my 14 year old’s homework. I’ll be right back…

OK, thanks for waiting. By the way - if we shut our families out - if we’re so focused on this new business that we seem consumed by it - we’re going to have lots of problems in our home. What’s that you say? Getting consumed by your great new business hasn’t happened to you yet? Just wait, my home business friend. At some point, you’ll get so excited, so motivated, so focused - that you may forget about everything around you, including those whom you love.

Let’s face it - our business is not more important than our family. So let’s not act like it! Make sure that your family understands that they are more important than this business. And I mean all of your family - children, spouse, parents, siblings - everyone. They need to know that they are still number one in your life.

One good way to minimize difficulties in relationships with your family when starting a home business is to talk to all your significant family up-front, *before* you start your business. If you’ve already launched your new enterprise, it’s never too late…

Start with your spouse or significant other. Sit down and explain what you’re doing and why it is exciting to you; what your hopes, dreams and goals for the business are. When I started, I told my wife and loved ones very clearly, “My goal is to be making $500 dollars net profit we can spend by the end of 6 months, and $1,000 a month by the end of the first year.” (I started part time). “I’m really happy about this, and I need your support.” And, the Closing Question: “Wouldn’t you like extra money in the budget, dear?”

That made it clear - I’m not off on some “get-rich-quick scheme,” or one of Henri’s “things,” I’ve got a clear plan and I know what I’m doing. However you do it, make sure to get your significant other on board *first*.

Next - your younger children:

Your younger children are not really going to understand much about why you’re doing this, what your goals are, etc. Instead, develop a routine with your younger children for meal times, naptimes, and play times. Work these times into your work schedule and adhere to them. If you fail to keep appointments with your children, your children will have less respect for your work and do more to prevent you from the completion of your work.

Don’t be afraid to let your younger children sit in your lap while you are working. It helps them to feel wanted and it helps them to be a part of your daily life. There are times when it is okay for them to be sitting in your lap while you work, and at other times you need them out of your lap. Don’t be afraid to tell them to get down and go play or read a book so that you can resume your work.

What about your older children and teens?

Explain to your older children that you do your work at home so that you can be near them when they need you. But also be sure they understand that you must do your work so that you will have the money necessary to keep your house, feed the family and to provide them with money for entertainment.

Once your children understand the necessity of your work, then outline a work schedule and explain it to them. Do make sure they understand that emergencies are definitely an acceptable reason to interrupt your work.

This just in! Teens these days are *very* Internet savvy. Get them involved, particularly the boys. Show them your new website. Ask them if they would be interested in helping out. Consider jobs they could do: search engine ranking research, ezine research, database management, and many others. Even consider “hiring” your teen. You’ll have them involved, you’ll get some time off, and now you’ll have a true “family home business!”

In Conclusion

I hope these tips serve to help you in the challenge of operating a successful home business.

My home business permits me to fulfill my financial obligations *AND* develop closer relationships at home. I would never contemplate trading my home business for a job. Even with the added challenges of dealing with children while I work or getting my spouse on board, the upsides far outweigh the downsides.

Growing my own home business with children around has definitely given me a new respect for all people who successfully run a home business and make all the home relationships work well. I tip my hat to you… You deserve it!

There are all-inclusive for couples, all-inclusive build just for families, all-inclusive devoted to nudists and even an all-inclusive for plus-size people.

So how do you find an all-inclusive that is right for you? And at the same time avoid spending your honeymoon or vacation surrounded by other people’s children if you don’t want to? Or maybe that would be exactly what you were looking for.

Brands such as Sandals and Super Clubs first and foremost cater to adults. Other brands of all-inclusive: Breezes, Franklyn D and Beaches resorts welcome families with children. And Club Med has developed into more of a family oriented all-inclusive company, but it still has some outposts that cater especially to adult singles or couples.

The fastest way to recognize if an all-inclusive is restricted to adults is by determining if it limits guests to age 16 and older. You can typically find this information by glance over the company Web site or call the 800 reservations number.

The good thing about booking a package deal is that you get much more at a resort than just a room and a bed to sleep in.

A lot of destinations tempt travellers with a list of activities and facilities so broad that a couple couldn’t possibly take advantage of them in a month. That’s why it’s essential to look at these deals closely. Do not get overwhelmed; just relax and keep in mind that quality counts more than quantity.

Just because some services are included in a All-Inclusive resort package does not mean that it is not factored into the all-in-one price. For instance, a couple who drinks very little may do better without a meal plan that includes all they can drink. Or what about a couple who loves to Jet Ski, they should choose a place where Jet Ski is included at no extra cost, because it is an expensive sport.

Is your family’s financial well-being and net worth relying too much on the value of your house? Are you feeling wealthier because the value of your home has increased significantly in the last few years or decade? Have you taken out a home equity loan recently? If your home’s value declined by 20% or 30%, would it wipe out your equity and have you scrambling to find enough just to keep your home?

Consider the following scenario. If your house is valued at $300,000.00, and you currently have about $50,000 equity, and if the value dropped by 17%, it would entirely wipe out your equity. If, over the course of a year or two, the value dropped by 30 or 40%, (placing the value between $210,000 and $180,000) you could expect some visits from the loan company requiring you to infuse your loan account with money because the value of the house no longer covers the amount of your loan!

How much debt do you have? At the end of the first quarter of 2005, the total interest-bearing debts in the U.S. had piled up to $37.3 TRILLION! Real estate is now the largest single debt category at $10.7 trillion.

If you have been using your home’s equity to support your family’s well-being, you are not alone. Million’s of Americans are in the same situations, pushing the entire housing market onto a dangerous cliff that could crumble the entire economy. Millions have used their home equity line of credit to buy RV’s, boats, furniture, or just everyday things, either because they lost some income, needed to keep up with the Joneses or just thought they deserved it because of their new found wealth. Others are using extra money to buy a second home, or a vacation home or moving into a house twice the size and value they (or the bank) would normally consider. Plus, U.S. households have the biggest household budget deficit in history at $531 billion. We are spending $531 billion more then we earn each year!

Things to do now:

Consider how much your family values your house as a home. If your house is a lot more than an investment, don’t sell, but you consider paying off more of your loan to create more equity value in your home.

Sell your vacation property, second homes, and investment property. Especially if the property is loaded with debt. You don’t want the bank seizing your lake home, and then aggressively pursuing you because there was no value left in the lake home to cover the $100,000 still owed.

Conduct a family meeting to consider if you are living above your means. And consider the size and amount of amenities of your house as a factor of living within your means. It often times becomes difficult to cut back, because we want our neighbors, friends and family to believe we are financially well, and if get rid of the new vehicles, the satellite TV, the flat screen television, the kids’ cell phones, and all our other money devouring gadgets, our appearance may shrink in other people’s views. But if you are spending less, accumulating savings, and are growing your home’s equity and your family’s net worth, you are increasing your financial well-being and not just the appearance of being well-off.

Cut back on your expenses and start accumulating a savings account. Pay a little bit extra on every house payment. Set up an emergency fund. Start saving more and spending less! Start living within your means, accumulate savings, and protect your family from the real estate price bust that is going to occur. Don’t be fooled. Be ready.

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication. There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day. Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do. Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…

As North American households face heating bills averaging at least 30 % higher than last year; the connection between household energy use and energy prices is evident to everyone.

Energy efficiency remains the quickest, cheapest, cleanest way to help you lower your home energy bills, extend the nations energy supplies, bring down energy costs and fatten your wallet.

Energy efficiency shouldn’t be a headache - in fact, it can be very rewarding. Not only is increasing the energy efficiency of your home a step toward better use of fuel and less pollution, it also offers you greater security and independence, lower energy bills and makes your home a more comfortable place to live.

Retrofitting energy efficiency can be expensive, but when you build a new house, it is relatively easy and cheap to make it energy efficient.

The task is achieved by marrying several of the latest technologies and developments in home construction.

The development and increasing use of Insulated Concrete Forms in construction is one of the main breakthroughs in high energy efficiency in new homes.

These “Forms” are Styrofoam (EPS) blocks that get filled with steel reinforced concrete and form the shape of the building. They double the insulation value, triple the sound resistance and quadruple the strength of the building.

Another important component in energy efficient homes is Radiant Floor Heating; which the industry claims will alone save you 20% on your annual heating bill. Not to mention that it gives you unprecedented comfort during those cold and long winter nights.

Add to this a High Efficiency Tank-Less Water Heater that can heat your whole house while giving you an endless stream of hot water; and the picture gets a little clearer.

Complete the package with a Heat Recovery Ventilator connected to a sophisticated “Earth Energy” system that uses a series of underground pipes in order to pre-condition the incoming air. This simple solution preheats your incoming air in the winter and pre-warms it in the summer.

Combine these four energy efficient breakthroughs and the result is a home that will slash at least 50% of your home heating bills as well as be your castle in a very real sense of the word.

A home that stands up to fire, noise, sun, wind, rain, snow, bugs, mould and inevitable Acts of God like, earthquakes and hurricanes;

A home that is safer, stronger and healthier than any other home you have ever seen; The only question left to answer is how much does it all cost? Your initial investment for this type of home is a little more ( approximately 10% more compared to conventionally built home) or considerably less when you think of long term costs, not only for you and your family but also for the planet we live on.

The “payback period” in fuel and maintenance would be between five to seven years but considering the alternative of keeping the status quo during predictions of a looming energy crisis, it is a very reasonable and logical solution.

When buying your new home, consciously choose to make informed decisions concerning the future of you and your family. A little bit of effort and common sense can go a long way in making your home more energy efficient and paying you dividends for years to come.

Going back to school is not an idea everybody enjoys. You may not like the idea of rubbing shoulders with people much younger than you, or competing with people who are pursuing the course full-time when you can devote only a limited amount of time to the course. Apart from the emotional issues, there are other factors like holding down a full-time job, or the pressing responsibilities of motherhood. Returning to the carefree mode of student life is not that simple, after all. Online universities offer you the chance to continue your education without bringing major changes to your present lifestyle.

On the Web you can find dozens of universities providing you the chance to further your education without stepping out of your home. You can choose from a range of undergraduate or postgraduate level courses, or any type of degree you want. Arts, humanities and life sciences are all there waiting for you to choose. Log on to the university of your choice, and it will willingly send you the relevant information free of cost.

Online universities are unique in the way that their courses progress according to your needs and abilities. A time-independent schedule can enable you to balance work and home pressures with the academic calendar. Introverts who are too shy to discuss their thoughts in classrooms can now share their views through online discussion boards and debates.

Expensive education is also one reason people drop out of college. When you register yourself in an online course you will be pleasantly surprised to see that these are less costly than their brick-and-mortar counterparts. All you have to do is get a good Internet connection and acquire some basic computer skills. A little bit of self-motivation and discipline to study in an online university will take your career to new heights.

Superstar-Growth Strategy of America’s Fastest Growing Companies!

By Chet Holmes

Here’s a strategy that has catapulted even the smallest of companies into super-growth mode by learning how to find an army of top producers to grow your business.

No matter how small your company is, you can hire a sales force that can catapult company growth like you never imagined (one company that took this advice grew 500% in two years).

No matter how large you are, you’re probably using the wrong criterion for hiring salespeople. How to attract star talent to your organization?
How to learn their weaknesses before you hire them (most companies have to hire a salesperson to find out all the problems they’re going to have- this will show you how to get rid of the lightweights in just five minutes).

What about you? How would you stack up against top producers as a person who has a “natural” ability to build your business?

One-person armies who were struggling have learned to re-think their model to hire sales-staff, and suddenly they are sold-out.

Multi-billion dollar companies had to understand the unique psychological profile of top producers and why they should hire for psychological profile rather than background.

The type of person I’m talking about is someone you can put in a bad situation with poor tools, no training, bad resources and still, within a few months, they begin to outsell your best salespeople or build your company in ways you never dreamed possible.

Two things drive the superstar and they are both critical and work together perfectly when you can find them: empathy and self esteema strong sense of self). Empathy: Top producers need to bond with others, to find something likable about every person. This is a wonderful trait to find in a salesperson. They just keep going at the client every which way, trying to find more and more ways to serve that client, to please that client. Empathy is a key trait and part of your interview process must be specifically designed to weed out their empathy.

Self esteem: Make no mistake; great sales results come from people with super strong self-esteem. Only a person with an extra dose of self-esteem barrels into a client eight times after the client has said no. People with weak self esteem go away after only a single rejection. People with weak self esteem fear rejection and so never actually close a sale.

Studies show that 48% of salespeople give up after only one rejection. Only 4% will try more than 4 times. Yet today, it takes 8.4 rejections to get a meeting. And what makes the difference between someone who will face that rejection one time and quit or 40 times and never quit, is purely personal (self esteem).

www.howtodoublesales.com has training programs that do that. But you can hire someone who, without you ever asking or training, is built that way. These people will have way more heart about getting that sale made.

Another aspect of a strong self esteem is personal ambition. Don’t you love it when you hire someone who innovates, expands upon and improves every single task you assign to them? This self esteem and need to please can make these people seem overly eager-to-please in a job interview. Maybe even come on too strong. Don’t let a little bravado put you off; it is the quintessential ingredient in every superstar.

In an interview, the person is the product, so they must present themselves with confidence, assure you that they are the one you’re looking for. This aggressive behavior will scare some employers, but it is exactly what you need in a salesperson.

Ground Rules for Hiring Superstars

First, age and background are not relevant. I’ve hired 24-year-olds who have out-sold 20-year veterans. One of my greatest finds came from a stereo store. Here was an awesome salesperson that might’ve never become the millionaire I helped him become had I not seen the traits he had. Another great find was a salesperson who tried to sell me a sweater in a clothing store. I snatched her right out of there and she ended up running three divisions of a company I ran. I recently found a 70-year-old man who has the best skills I have ever seen for getting top executives on the telephone. And he had been a line producer for feature films. So disregard age or background.

Second, you must design your ad to attract this rare animal. My ads begin like this:

SUPERSTARS ONLY:
Don’t even call unless you are an overachiever and can prove it.

The ad does not request a resume. The first thing we do is screen calls on the phone. Here’s a great way to test a top producer: Line up your candidates for a simple ten minute conversation. Tell them: “we talk to candidates for ten minutes to determine if we want to interview them.”

When screening calls, I always apologize for being gruff and to the point, explaining that I am overwhelmed with responses; then I say, “Tell me why you think you’re a superstar.” I then deliberately act unimpressed and slightly abrasive. If I intimidate them over the phone, I brush them off quickly. A top producer will not be intimidated. If they can’t talk their way into an interview what makes you think they’ll ever talk their way into a client. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get rid of those with weak self esteem right off the bat.

Too often you interview candidates as the nice person you are and it gives them the chance to be nice as well. Then you hire them and find out six months later that they can’t close a sale and shy away from the really big sales out of fear (weak self esteem). With the technique above, you find out early how well they handle rejection. It saves everyone a lot of time and YOU a lot of money.

The quest for high search engine rankings (and the traffic that comes along with them) has spawned some new search engine optimization techniques of late, two of them being article submission and hosted marketing pages. Although these techniques are similar in appearance, each has advantages and disadvantages. Before we delve into the heart of the issue, a couple of definitions are in order for newcomers to the internet marketing realm.

Submitting articles requires quite a bit of unpleasant work. First you have to be an expert about your chosen subject (or have the ability to fool others into believing you’re an expert). Next you must be able to write about your subject in at least a coherent manner. Then you must find article directories in which to submit your work, giving them and any possible viewers the authority to freely copy and distribute your creation.

A hosted marketing page is a cross between purchasing a one way link from a website and submitting an article to a directory. The website in question allows you to purchase a complete page from their site along with a professionally written article that has multiple one-way links to your site.

The main advantages to both techniques are the SEO-friendly links. Whether you submit your article to a directory or purchase a hosted marketing page, you will get one-way links pointing to your site. Because search engines love one-way links, your website will undoubtedly receive a boost in your search engine ranking. But, the biggest boost will come from links using keywords relevant to your site coming from pages written about a subject relevant to your site.

Here’s something you should remember. In most cases, a hosted marketing page text link from a relevant, high PR website will be much more important to the search engines than a text link from a posted article in a directory. But, if you’re a talented enough author to have your writing approved, it may show up in several directories as well as multiple authority sites. This influx of links could potentially outweigh the few links from a single hosted marketing page.

The disadvantages are pretty obvious. Writing and submitting articles, although free, can consume a considerable amount of time, especially if you are not comfortable writing professionally. On the other hand, purchasing a professionally written hosted marketing page can be very expensive. You should be prepared to shell out anywhere from fifty dollars to several hundred dollars per month, depending on the popularity of the site.

Here’s the bottom line. If you have little time, little writing skill, and a large marketing budget, hosting marketing pages would be most beneficial to you. However, if you have some free time, some copywriting experience, and little to no advertising dollars, writing and submitting articles to article directories would be most beneficial to you.
