The Butterfly Effect

General Categories, Law of Attraction, Self-Help, ,

You need to live your life with purpose and dedication.

You do make a difference with everything you do. What is amazing is the affect you have on everything and everyone around you.

As James Allen has stated:

“As a being of thought, your dominant mental attitude will determine your condition in life. It will also be the gauge of your knowledge and the measures of your attainment. The so-called limitations of your nature are the boundary lines of your thoughts; they are self-erected fences, and can be drawn to a narrower circle, extended to a wider, or be allowed to remain.

You are the thinker of your thoughts and as such you are the maker of yourself and condition. Thought is causal and creative, and appears in your character and life in the form of results. There are no accidents in your life. Both its harmonies and antagonisms are the responsive echoes of your thoughts. A man thinks, and his life appears.

If your dominant mental attitude is peaceable and lovable, bliss and blessedness will follow you; if it be resistant and hateful, trouble and distress will cloud your pathway. Out of ill-will will come grief and disaster; out of good-will, healing and reparation.”

You imagine your circumstances as being separate from yourself, but they are intimately related to your thought world. Nothing appears without an adequate cause. Everything that happens is just. Nothing is fated, everything is formed.”

How SEO Can Help Your Business Greatly

Internet Marketing, ,

The term SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is one that is used much more commonly these days than ever before. This is mostly due to the fact that now the majority of the market will search the internet (Google, Yahoo, MSN) before anywhere else, when looking to purchase a product or service either locally or internationally.

This has caused business owners to frantically look for someone who can perform these SEO services for them, by optimizing their websites for the search engines.

When someone searches for a keyword phrase that’s related to your business, for example “auto mechanics in New York” the first page of results on Google shows only 10 results. There are usually hundreds or even thousands of pages of results for any given keyword.

Anyone can show up on the top page of Google, by paying a hefty fee PER click to be there. This can cost a fortune and cause a lot of headaches if you don’t know what you’re doing. SEO on the other hand is usually referred to as “Organic SEO” or “Organic Search Engine Optimization.” This means that you are making it so that your website shows up in the natural search results that are on the left side of the page when you do a Google search (the paid ads show up on the right side).

By landing your website a few organic search engine listings (on the first page or not), you are doing your business a GREAT service. This is perhaps one of the most valuable long term assets your business can have, because you will have a flow of traffic to your website, of people that are actually searching for what it is that you offer. And that is precisely why companies are paying thousands of dollars a month to search engine optimization specialists.

On the local level however, SEO services tend to be much cheaper than at the international corporate level, so they are affordable.

By having that organic listing, you will have “targeted” traffic coming to your site (people who are searching for your specific niche) and you will NOT be paying for every time someone clicks on your search engine listing! Your business will have more exposure on the internet, have a chance of competing with the rest and will survive well into the future… With your rankings going up every year hopefully!

The REAL Secret to Building A High-Profit Internet Business

Internet Marketing, traffic, , ,

The best way to succeed is to surround yourself with people who are successful. One of my greatest mentors has been Jimmy D. Brown. Jimmy is one of the most influential Internet Marketers in the business.

His knowledge is based on real life testing and tracking. His resources are valuable for anyone who does business on the Internet.

This is one of Jimmy’s best secrets.

The REAL Secret to Building A High-Profit Internet Business

By Jimmy D. Brown

My wife laughs every time she sees me doing it.

At least once or twice every week, I’ll be at my desk (or
at the dining room table) with my Franklin Covey planner
open and a stack of laminated checklists in hand.

“What are you doing, honey?” she calls, already knowing
the answer.

“I’m planning”, I reply with a smile.

She laughs and I get back to work.

She laughs because she swears I spend half of my time
“planning”. But, if you ask me how I’m able to get as
much work done as I do in only 3 hours a day, I’ll point
to a black Franklin Covey planner with about a dozen
laminated checklists inside.

Building an Internet business is easy. Seriously. I’m
not saying that it’s not complicated, because it is. I’m
just saying that it’s easy to accomplish if you just have
a system in place.

There’s very little in this world that can’t be
accomplished with the right set of action steps in front
of you.

Today, I’m going to give you such a system for building
your Internet business. There are only 4 steps…

1. Decide What You Want To Do. Do you want to run an
eBay(R) business? Be an affiliate marketer? Buy and sell
reprint rights? Get involved in niche marketing? While
all of those things will likely find their way into your
plan in time, you gotta begin with one thing at a time.

My recommendation: Choose a “broad” topic you are
interested in and begin building a list of folks interested
in that topic.

2. Determine A Weekly Action Plan. After you decide what
you want to do, it’s time to determine how to get it done.
What I do is this: I create a weekly set of action steps.
That is,I have a set of things I do on Monday, on Tuesday
and so forth. Decide how many hours (as little as ONE) you
want to work each day and schedule yourself a reasonable
amount of things to get done in that time frame. Repeat
this process week after week.

My recommendation: Begin writing ezine articles to
promote your list … and affiliate programs. It’s the
easiest way to get free traffic and build your list at the
same time.

3. Devote Yourself To Staying On Schedule. The important
thing here is to stick to it. The easiest way that I know
of to make certain you develop discipline in your schedule
is to NOT set unrealistic expectations. Give yourself ample
time to do each day’s action step – don’t overschedule.
Look for progress along the way to celebrate. Reward
yourself when you’ve reached a milestone. And, remember,
you’re GROWING a business. Just like physical growth, it
takes time … it WILL happen if you remain committed.

My recommendation: Weave in simple activities related to
the following categories – List building (ezine articles),
product creation(conduct interviews or hire ghostwriters),
site development (making your site convert more visitors into
buyers)and education (continuing to learn new ways to grow
your business)

4. Develop Additional Shortcuts. As you get better and
better at working with your lists, creating products and
tweaking your site,you’ll want to continue to improve your
business with new ideas,strategies, tools and resources.
The key is simple: never stop learning!

Visit forums. Read articles. Download reports. Identify
sites and resources that CONTRIBUTE to your success in
educating you. You want faster results, bigger increases,
automated processes,and other ways to get more accomplished
and more profit, with less work involved.

Everything depends on your developing a plan and sticking to
it.

And that is the REAL secret to building a high-profit
Internet business!

Why Your Business Needs Internet Marketing Services

General Categories, , ,

Here is a true fact about consumers: around 85% of the market will go to the internet FIRST to search for a product or service. That means before they go to the Yellow Pages or dial a phone directory, your customers will search on the Internet for you. Understand, that is a very large portion of the market and it is an important fact to consider for your small business.

This is particularly true for Hawaii Small Business.

If you have a business, in Hawaii, or elsewhere, big or small, having exposure on the internet is extremely important due to the increasing popularity of the Internet. Your customers are now going online, from their cell phones, laptops, computers, etc. and if you are not there to be found… Your competitor WILL BE. That is a fact.

As a business owner, you most likely do not have the time to learn how to create websites, write and understand computer code, optimize your website for the search engines, get involved in social networking (twitter, Facebook, etc..), utilize article marketing, create videos or do anything related to internet marketing!

This information can be completely confusing, like Chinese to you, but it still needs to be done. This fact can’t be ignored.

If you want your business to succeed, and excel in today’s economy, it is vital that you look into getting an individual or a company to handle your internet marketing campaign, or at very least give you a consultation on as to what you need to do to get more exposure on the internet. It will not only make a substantial difference in your profits, but it will secure the future of your business.

You will also be able to create relationships with your exisiting customers as well as discover new customers with Internet exposure.

Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir Go All Night Long

“We gonna pitch a Wang Dang Doodle all night long…”

I had heard the song a number of times, but I had no idea what it meant. One night at Hunt’s in Burlington, Vermont I got my answer.

Koko Taylor, had just finished a smoking set at Hunt’s closing with “Wang Dang Doodle”. Her band was heading outside for a quick break. As the drummer passed me, I asked him, What was a “wang dang doodle”.

“A fight” he answered. “It’s when a bunch of guys mix it up and start swinging.”

That song was one of Koko’s signature tunes. Now you know.

Here’s a great version with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir on acoustic guitars. Bob Wasserman plays bass. Neil Young is playing harp.

The following was part of Neil Youngs annual fundraiser for the Bridge School.

Marlon Sanders On Old School Internet Marketing

General Categories, Internet Marketing, , , ,

I wanted to share this email I just recieved from Marlon Sanders.
Here is the link to his blog:
Marlon’s Blog

“Going Back To Square Freaking One”

Subtitle: What It Means To Be Old School

If you’re new to my list, my name is Marlon Sanders.

I AM what you call an old school marketer. Not old….
old school. I got started in this business back in 1978
when I read Ben Suarez book “SuperBiz ™in 1978 and also H.K.
Simon’s “Out of the Rat Race and into the chips.”

A lot of folks today don’t know about old school marketing
nor what it stands for. George Haylings made bank the old
school way back in the days of the great depression.

If it worked back then, it’ll sure work in today’s less chaotic
times.

I’m writing this because a lot of foks have gotten lost somewhere
along the way. They got distracted by bright and shiny objects
and forget the simplicity of this business….

…..maybe you’re one of ’em.

If you’ve been in this business longer than 6 months and have
been buying courses and training and you haven’t made your
first $100 in sales, you may have lost your way.

If you’ve been in this business longer than a year and haven’t
sold at least $5,000 or $10,000, then you might have forgotten
what it means to be old school.

If you’re an old pro or veteran but somehow have lost your way,
you might have gotten sidetracked and forgotten the bare
simplicity of this business.

I want to talk about what it means to be “old school.”

1. Old school means you produce products.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with promoting affiliate products.
It’s true a lot of newbies get started that way. You can build
a list and start sending out emails selling affiliate products.

But the best way to build your list is with your own product.
And you can have one of those in 3 hours if you know what
you’re doing.

2. Old school means you promote what you produce.

Think of it like breathing.

You do it every day. It’s your essence.

You breathe in…that’s creating new life with the oxygen
that hits your blood stream.

That’s creating new products.

It’s your lifestream.

You breathe out.

That’s promoting…it’s an outward energy.

You go inside to produce…that’s breathing in. You go
outside to promote. That’s breathing out.

If you’re listening to someone telling you to do things
other than breathe in and out, that’s fine. But if it’s not
working for you, you might rethink what you’re doing.

3. Old school means you roll your own

There’s something to be said for hand made.

You can outsource lots of things. You can mechanize
lots of things. And you should.

But no one can replace the human spirit and soul.

And plr and automated this and that are great. I’ve
automated much of my business. But do you have
a SOUL?

Seriously.

I’m a human being, not a machine. I’m here. I have
emotions. I have ups and downs like anyone else.

Like late last year when I was TRYING to be the only guy
in my city at age 51 to have a 6-pack (you know, lean
stomach area), and I ripped some muscles working out and
had to have surgery, that was a tough time for me.

I know some people read a few of my emails and wondered.

It was a very emotionally challenging time.

But that’s life. I don’t try to be something I’m not…at least
not on my good days when I’m my highest and best self.
And I recommend you do the same.

I don’t pretend to live in a million dollar house with a 1/4 million
car and Rolex watch.

I don’t need the watch, I got plenty of house and my car is
a warrior.

But one thing you can say about me is since day one in this
business I’ve been REAL and called it the way I saw it, even
if it meant going counter to the opinions of some of my
closest and best friends.

So I think old school is about being real. The day you
replace you in your business is the day the U is removed
from the word UNIQUE and the day the U is tripped out
of the term USP (unique selling proposition).

Marketers are a funny bunch.

The first thing they do on Twitter is load up a thousand
quotes that someone else wrote.

That’s not old school.

I don’t want to read a bunch of quotes you downloaded. I
want to know who YOU are what YOU think, even if
I disagree at times.

Even if you aren’t the biggest Mac Daddy of ’em all.

At least you’re real. And maybe I’m interested in what you
have to say.

4. Old school means getting things done

I love to talk on the phone.

My dogs (close friends) Jonathan Mizel, Declan Dunn,
Jason Fladlien, Kirt Christensen, Daegan Smith,
Ray Edwards, Paul Myers and others have probably lost
more than a day of production chatting on the phone.

But we share. And it means something to me.

One day I won’t be here to write this ezine. All the products
I got to create will be gone. All the sales letters will be
written. All the insights will be given. All the words will
be said.

I hope that at that time, people will look back and say,
“Marlon Sanders was real. He told the truth. He made me
a better marketer and a better person.”

That means you can’t just talk. You have to create. You
have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

All that means is your breath, your life, is creating and
selling and marketing and promoting.

That’s who I am.

That’s what I do.

And if you’re reading this ezine, then I suspect that’s who
you are or want to be.

It’s NOT the only way to run an Internet business.

Like I say, I’m Old School. I believe in stacking a few bills
in my bank account by creating a valuable product and promoting
it to others who can honestly benefit by it.

It’s a noble way to make a living.

A lot of people don’t get that. Selling is spiritual. You’re taking
a person with hopes and dreams of a better life and you’re lending
a helping hand.

You’re taking a person with problems and frustration and helping remove
them.

You’re making the world a little better, more relaxed, more convenient,
more enjoyable and less problem laced place to be.

And that is a great, awesome thing.

The first thing some marketers want to do is remove the human spirit
and element.

And I guess some businesses operate that way.

I’m an Old School dog and I’ve been around the block. I’ve seen people
go to jail, even gurus. I’ve seen them make comebacks by turning over
a new leaf.

I’ve seen more gurus come and go than you can shake a stick at.

I’ve made more products than I can remember and sold most of ’em
pretty well.

How about you?

Have you lost your way?

Have you strayed from the way of the Old School?

If you have, then maybe it’s time you get back to breathing.

You find wants and needs, hopes and dreams, desires and
passions.

You create products.

You promote products.

This may sound like a daunting task if you’re new to this Game.

But over and over and over, people who take action prove you CAN produce
products with value in less time than you think. I’m NOT saying you need
to be perfect or produce the world’s greatest products.

I’m saying to put some of YOU into your products. Put some heart in
there. Put some soul in there.

Get out stuff that helps people. But get out a lot of it. You really do need
to be a Prolific Product Creator.

Old School means you get produts out and you sell ’em. And on the one
hand you don’t succumb to the need to be perfect.

That’s a trap.

On the other hand, you make sure you got a baker’s dozen in there.

It’s time.

It’s time, you and I and everyone else in this Game get back to a few simple
VALUES.

Finding out what people want. Creating lots of products and selling ’em good.
Breathing as a way of life.

Production and promotion.

Good gosh that’s simple.

How did we ever lose our way?

Maybe it’s time a little Old School finds its way back in your life.

If you aren’t working TODAY, this week on creating a new product or promoting
the one you got, then what are you freaking thinking?

Honestly.

What are you doing? Researching more and more and more until you’re certain?

Can you guarantee me you’ll wake up tomorrow?

If you can’t find certainty about that, how do you think you’ll find certainty about
whatever it is you’re trying to feel certain about?

Find your way back home.

Now. Today. It’s never too late.

This moment is all there is.

Embrace the Old School.

Produce.

Create.

Promote.

Sell.

This is the straight and narrow path.

Welcome home.

My name is Marlon Sanders. I’ve been in this Game long as I can remember.
I am the King of Step-By-Step Internet marketing. And I cherish and relish
every moment life has given me to be in this Game.

Every day I wake up, suck down some coffee, and feel thankful for another
day to play the Game.

Old School Lives.

Play on.
