<span style="font-size: small;">TrafficSwarm is a Text Ad Exchange, although recently they have started to offer banner advertising too.  Not everyone see&#8217;s the benefits of TrafficSwarm straight away, but I can give you </span></p>
<h2>7 Reasons To Use TrafficSwarm In Your Marketing Efforts!</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>1)</strong>   It is <strong>FREE</strong></span> to join, which means that you can submit your adverts straight away and begin to click on other marketer&#8217;s links to start gaining credits.  This  equals  immediate traffic to your links!</p>
<p><strong>2) </strong> It works!  I get about one third of my traffic from TrafficSwarm.  If it works for me, why shouldn&#8217;t it work for you?</p>
<p><strong>3)</strong>  It has a very simple, clear layout so there is no big learning curve, which means more time to focus on your business.  And it&#8217;s very simple to change your adverts, increase or decrease the number of views or cancel it all together.</p>
<p><strong>4) </strong> Upgraded members get 5,000 credits each month; this is a recent increase from 2,500 which you used to get before the recent transformation of the site.</p>
<p><strong>5)</strong> Free members get something like 2-6 points for each click and each point gets you one view of your website, which is pretty good.  If you surf regularly, these numbers will increase and will grow much faster.  Also when you refer someone, you get 100 credits when your new member opens an account and one credit every time anyone in your downline 5 levels deep opens up their TrafficSwarm account!</p>
<p><strong>6)</strong> As an upgraded member, when you refer another person and they upgrade, you get $10 immediately, then you $5 for every month they stay upgraded.  Plus, they pay out for up to 5 levels in your downline.  So if you refer one person who upgrades and they refers another who upgrades, then you get $4 as Level 2. Then $3, $2, $1 for levels 3 &#8211; 5!  Upgraded members also get a point for every CLICK their first level makes, so if you refer one person who upgrades and clicks on 100 links, YOU earn 100 credits too.</p>
<p><strong>7)</strong>  TrafficSwarm even has a free Search Engine Submission Tool!  Free members can submit one website for automatic submission whilst upgraded or Pro members can submit as many as they wish.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s TrafficSwarm.  Great free tool and certainly worth upgrading for extra traffic.  I have one more simple but effective &#8216;trick&#8217; or &#8216;secret&#8217; to use when surfing TrafficSwarm but I&#8217;m not going to give that to you here.  You can find this out inside my <strong>Free</strong> &#8216;<strong>Traffic Secret&#8217; Marketing System</strong> in the TrafficSwarm video!  Suffice to say it will increase the number of opt-ins you can get with TrafficSwarm.</p>
<p>Thanks and I look forward to clicking on your adverts inside <a href="http://www.trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?1064743">TrafficSwarm</a> soon!<br />

<p><a href="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/MP900442748.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-812" title="suecollier.net" src="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/MP900442748-300x188.jpg" alt=" Seven Reasons You Should Be Using Traffic Exchanges!" width="300" height="188" /></a><strong>Traffic Exchanges get alot of bad press</strong>.  Too many people join one, surf for 20 minutes and then decide they are a waste of time.  Well if you spent 20 minutes writing an article, then gave up on it you would be in exactly the same place.  You would have generated no traffic and just wasted some precious time.  A few years ago, Traffic Exchanges probably deserved the bad rap that they have, but if you havn&#8217;t checked them out recently, maybe you are missing out on a great concept.</p>
<p>The thing is everything online works if you give it your <em>time and effort</em>.  And Traffic Exchanges are no different.  I had not tried them until late last year, when I decided I didn&#8217;t like the direction my business was headed in.  I changed direction and was shown not only what Traffic Exchanges were all about, but how to use them effectively and effeciently.  Yes, at first if you cannot afford to upgrade, you will have to click for your credits, but everyone has to start somewhere and for many newbies coming online, free is there favourite word.  This doesn&#8217;t mean they will not succeed in their business.  If they have drive to stay committed, they will succeed whatever!  And many of the top Internet Marketers today started off using Traffic Exchanges!  How else would we have so many rags to riches success stories online?</p>
<p><em><strong>So, lets get on with the reasons</strong></em>:</p>
<p>1)  And this one is key: <strong>The very people who are surf in Traffic Exchanges are your target audience</strong>!  Yes, they are indeed there to promote their own business, usually a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Network Marketing or Affiliate</em></span> business, but that only makes them the exact people who would do well in your business.  They are your &#8216;<strong>Target Market</strong>&#8216;. They are the perfect people to attract into your business, because they already know all about MLM, they obviously have a &#8216;Why&#8217; already and are actively trying to build a business.</p>
<p>Think about it:  They probably were recruited into their Network Marketing business from someone in their <em>Circle of Influence</em>.  They didn&#8217;t get a chance to decide &#8216;which&#8217; Network Marketing company would suit them, they were only offered one.  They were offered a &#8216;business model&#8217;, a dream life; the possibility of making residual income!  So they bought into the concept, but perhaps as much as they like the idea, the actual company that they are involved in is not a product which they are<strong> passionate</strong> about.</p>
<p>They go online and start using <strong>Traffic Exchanges</strong>.  Whilst they are surfing they come across you, advertising exactly what they need to grow their business; more traffic to their page, a system to help them grow their business or something else which will help them.  So they join your list and start to get to know you and eventually, you  introduce them to your own primary business.  Lo and behold,  your product is something they ARE passionate about!  Do you think then that they may decide to join YOUR company instead? Result!  Of  course, that is just one possible scenario.</p>
<p>2)  <em><strong>You can start for FREE! </strong></em> When you come online as a newbie, you need to start advertising your business and you may still be working. You have come online to make money and the last thing you want to do is start spending money.  Of course eventually you&#8217;ll need to spend some money, but whilst you are learning the &#8216;art&#8217; of Internet Marketing, you need freebies.</p>
<p>3)  Once you are regularly surfing the Traffic Exchanges, you can see what sort of <strong>Splash Pages or Lead Capture Pages</strong> works best, so you can soon improve your own pages to make them convert better.  It also highlights the mistakes others make with their pages, such as slow loaders (waste of time having them in Traffic Exchanges as they may not have even loaded by the time the surfer clicks away!) or making errors with the URL, so no page shows up (always check the link before posting).  It also teaches you &#8216;best practice&#8217; in advertising, as it is easy after a few weeks of surfing to work out who is having success and who isn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>4) <strong> It&#8217;s very easy to duplicate</strong>!  Once you know where you are going with <strong>Traffic Exchanges</strong>, it is very easy to get your downline to follow suit.  This will not only mean that they will be getting results quickly because they are being advised by you, but also means that if they join under you, you can earn <em>extra credits</em> when they start to surf, but also sometimes cash for referring them!  And of course, once they get people in under them, they can also <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">duplicate the process</span></em>.</p>
<p>5) It is very<strong> easy to track your advertising in the Traffic Exchanges</strong> and find out which adverts and indeed which Traffic Exchanges are working for you, and which are not.  Then it is just a case of ditching what doesn&#8217;t work and doing more of what does!</p>
<p>6)  You can soon build up credits in the Traffic Exchanges by surfing regularly, especially when you know all the shortcuts to quicker surfing.  Of course, if you don&#8217;t have time to surf regularly, or if you are going to be away for a week or so, you can <em><strong>upgrade or buy credits</strong></em>, so that your own adverts are still being shown.</p>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Brand Yourself!!</p>
</div>
<p>7)  Traffic Exchanges are excellent opportunties to <strong>Brand Yourself</strong>.  I&#8217;m sure you have heard time and time again that people only buy from someone they <em><strong>know, like and trus</strong></em>t.  By branding your splash pages with your name and photograph, surfers get used to seeing you so begin to feel  you are familiar to them.  This begins to build trust.  Many people who use Traffic Exchanges are new to internet marketing and are often (maybe even without realising) looking for a <strong>mentor</strong> to show them the way.  Seeing you regularly on the Traffic Exchanges will make them seek you out and join you in your businesses.</p>
<p><strong>Personally, I love surfing the Traffic Exchanges!</strong> I have had more success there than advertising in other places and you certainly learn very quickly.  I now have downlines in many Exchanges who are following my example, surfing for credits, building their business and earning cash and credits just like me!  And I, too have met some great mentors and friends!</p>
<p><strong>What do you think?</strong> Do you love Traffic Exchanges or hate them?  When did you last try them out?  Are you having success with them?  Leave me your coments and let me know! I will be writing some reviews of the Traffic Exchanges I use over the next few weeks, so tune in regularly!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.trafficsecret.ws/r/suecollier/home" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px;" src="http://www.trafficsecret.ws/images/trafficbnr1.gif" alt=" Do You Want To Know A (Traffic) Secret?"  title="Do You Want To Know A (Traffic) Secret? photo" /></a>Do you promise not to tell?  As the song goes, haha!  Well I have recently got involved with some lovely people who have a <strong>Traffic Secret</strong> that they are more than willing to share&#8230;&#8230;and for nothing!  You see I recently left one of the major<em> marketing systems online</em> and at the same time decided to stop promoting the mlm I was involved with.  A pretty major shift in my<strong> internet home business life!</strong> At the beginning of this year I realised I was not comfortable with what I was promoting online.  It just didn&#8217;t feel like I was being my true self and felt I could not happily get other people involved in a business which I had lost faith in.  I feel that biggest is not always best because sometimes the quieter (or just the less loud?) people miss out!</p>
<p>Anyway I had begun clicking on lots of links that looked interesting looking for something I could believe in.  And this website hit the spot!  It is a growing at a rapid pace, its run by real friendly people, who are contactable by phone and email.  This <strong>Traffic Secret</strong> system is evolving as more and more people join; more marketing help is being added and more income streams too!  And to top it all, you can also promote your own business within the system.  What more could you want?</p>
<p>It is a great system for newbies as it is free to join and the instructio<span style="color: #000000;">ns are simple to follow</span>, with lots of videos and help. And it is attracting alot of attention right now.  This system uses <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Traffic Exchanges, Safe List Marketing and List Builders</span></em> to grow your business, all of which I have had very little contact with before I joined.   The majority of these can be used for free, which in these hard times is great for anyone coming online with very little money!</p>
<p>I have only been involved for a few weeks with this company and have not yet worked my way through all the trainings, but what I am seeing already is results &#8211; and hands on effort from the owners to keep on improving the system and help you to build your own business and make some money online!</p>
<h2>But don&#8217;t take my word for it, <a title="Traffic Secret" href="http://www.SueCollier.ws" target="_blank">check it out yourself  NOW</a> and make sure YOU benefit from this awesome system!</h2>

<p>When you first open up your <strong>blog for business</strong>, you hope or expect lots of people to find it and leave you lots of comments and feedback.  Sadly, this rarely happens, unless you are a celebrity!  So you plug away, writing article after article wondering how other people manage to succeed in getting lots of <em>comments</em> when you are lucky to get one!  So you cheat a bit and retweet your own post a few times and ask your friends to retweet it too!</p>
<p>But unless you get very good, very quickly you are not going to get many comments.  I tried putting the odd comment on other people&#8217;s blogs, but rarely got any reciprocation!  Then I started to hear about <strong>syndication</strong>!  I looked into it and discovered that people were getting together into little groups to leave a little &#8216;love&#8217; on each others blogs and other content all over the internet!  <em><strong>Wow, I thought, great idea!</strong></em></p>
<p>I looked into one system that everyone was talking about, but decided against paying to have someone read my articles.  They aren&#8217;t THAT bad!!  Then I joined a forum called <strong>ThatMLMBeat!!</strong> And started to hear about two syndication groups that were in the process of joining together! <strong> And you could join FREE!</strong></p>
<p>So with some trepidation, I joined their ranks.  It all seemed simple enough!  You were put in a particular colour group each week; around 10 to a group.  Each person puts their own details on the system, their social media sites and their blog.  Then each day of the week, Monday to Friday only (which suits me) you syndicate a couple of people out of your group.</p>
<p>You comment on their blog, you like them on Facebook, add them on Linkedin, watch their videos on YouTube or whatever.  Then one day a week, they all come to see your work and suddenly your comments start to rise.  You get more friends on your social media sites and more retweets!! <strong> Wow, you have got to love that!</strong></p>
<p>And another great thing is that if people don&#8217;t do the syndicating they are meant to do, they slowly fall down the charts and then fall off the end.  So they no longer get syndicated!  If you do not feel that the article you are reading is up to standard, you do not have to comment or syndicate.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>That keeps standards up!</em></span></p>
<p><strong>The benefits of syndication go well beyond the extra traffic I am getting on my sites!</strong> I always found it difficult to comment on other people&#8217;s work.  Probably scared of saying something that someone didn&#8217;t like!  Now, I am typing a comment before I even put my mind in gear!!  So that&#8217;s great.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Syndicating also keeps me on my toes! </em></span> I know by Sunday usually what day people are going to syndicate me, so I work on making sure there is something new for everyone to read or listen to!  Which again is always good for the search engines.  Regularly updating your blog gets you higher up the rankings!</p>
<p>And another thing!  Before I started syndicating, I had somewhat lost interest in <strong>Facebook</strong>, which considering the numbers of people logging on everyday, was a bit like business suicide!  I found it difficult to know what to say.  Well syndicating lots of other peoples blogs has put an end to all that.  I have a plethora of interesting material to put out on Facebook, so my name is appearing on the news stream regularly.  I&#8217;m rocking Facebook again!</p>
<p><em><strong>And I am meeting some incredible people and finding out more awesome stuff everyday! </strong></em> I have to admit my first thought was &#8216;will this be worth the effort of reading all these peoples blogs??&#8217;  <em><strong>Well I have to tell you that &#8216;yes&#8217; absolutely it is worth every minute I spend syndicating.</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>So, of course, I must give a great big shout out to TSA Tribes for being absolutely awesome.  When you give, you receive, and I am receiving such alot from you guys.  Thank you, everyone!</strong></span></p>

<p><a href="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/l-plate.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-275" title="l plate" src="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/l-plate.jpg" alt=" What Are The MLM  Basics For Marketing Online   Tip 2" width="124" height="124" /></a></p>
<p><strong>This is Tip 2 in the article series &#8216;What Are The MLM Basics For Marketing Online&#8217;</strong>.  The <em>first tip</em> was that you need a <strong><em>system</em></strong> in order to market your business online.  Without a system you would be spending a great deal of time and money trying to work out what to do.  The next MLM Basics For Marketing Online Tip is also a biggy!  Once you have a system in place, you need to get some<strong> Training!</strong>  This is the biggest problem in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Network Marketing</span>.  Although it is called <em>&#8216;marketing</em>&#8216;, no-one give you any<em> marketing training</em>.  And when you bring your business online, it is all about the marketing.</p>
<p>So <strong>where do you go for training</strong>?  Well if you took tip number 1, getting a <em>system,</em> you would now have access to training.  Without the system, you could maybe try to find a mentor online who would be willing to give up his time to coach you.  Otherwise you would have to learn from your mistakes, just like a huge number of people do online.  The trouble with this is that you will probably do what you were taught offline and constantly spew out your information about your business.  This is the way the amateur networkers work.  It leads to people removing you from their lists of friends, because they are fed up of being sold to.</p>
<p><strong><em>Training is hugely important for marketing on the internet</em></strong>. </p>
<p>If you consider that you would have to be trained for any new job, then it is just the same on the internet.  You are very unlikely to know exactly what to do on your first day online.  Everything you have been taught about the &#8216;old school&#8217; methods of <em>Network Marketing</em> does NOT work online! On the internet we use <strong>Attraction Marketing</strong> to generate leads. We do not chase prospects around, we do not cold call anyone and we do not pester people as they go about their work.  Prospects come to us, because they are attracted to us, not the other way round.</p>
<p><strong><em>The system I use, Lead System Pro, has an unbelievable amount of training in the back office</em></strong>. </p>
<p>In fact one of the trainings, on <strong>Facebook marketing</strong>, is so popular that it attracts hundreds of people everyday to find out about our system!  Because marketing on Facebook is so popular, and so many people are joining Facebook everyday, anyone with a business wants to find out how to market there.  The<em> Article Marketing training</em> is also very highly sought after.</p>
<p>As well as trainings on all the social media sites, you will also need training about posting adverts, putting up banner adverts, how to do paid marketing such as pay-per-click and how to actually use Attraction Marketing.  Once you have studied some of the ways to attract leads, you can start to generate leads into your system everyday.  The best thing to do when you are just starting is to learn to master just one or two methods of lead generation.  When you are getting 10-20 leads a day from your efforts, you can continue to do that method, but also get some training on another method and stick at that until you have mastered that one too.</p>
<p>Eventually you will have built up several different ways to attract leads into your business.  But all this takes time.  Do not give up after a month or two, because it does take time to understand marketing online completely.  You may feel that you are doing everything you have been taught, but you are not getting the results you hoped for.  It could just be one little tweak that makes all the difference.  Just go over the training again, and see if you can pick up something you may have missed the first time. </p>
<p><strong><em>And then just keep going!</em></strong></p>

<p><a href="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/prepaid1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-215" title="prepaid" src="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/prepaid1.jpg" alt=" PrePaid Legal Leads" width="58" height="106" /></a></p>
<p>Prepaid Legal Leads can be difficult to find in your warm market.  Although your family and friends may be interested in getting legal cover, they are unlikely to want to join the business unless they are very business minded or entrepreneurial.  Once the warm market is exhausted, the options for generating Prepaid Legal Leads have always been buying leads or approaching your cold market.</p>
<p>Prepaid Legal is one of the oldest, most well established and successful Network Marketing companies around, but it has one downfall.  By not using the internet to help their associates generate Prepaid Legal leads, they will always lose associates who are discouraged by not enrolling people into their business.   Once the associates have approached their warm market about the business, they will need to go out and find other people to talk to.</p>
<p>Prepaid Legal actually became a Network Marketing company in 1983, but the company really started in 1969 when the founder of the company, Harland C Stonecipher was involved in a car accident, which left him with legal bills.  Prepaid Legal has over 1.5 million associates.  In the last quarter of 2009, the number of associates joining this company rose by 89.4% on the previous year!  Of course, more people do join Network Marketing companies in a recession, but even allowing for that, that percentage is incredible.</p>
<p>For around $20 a month, you get access to their lawyers for your legal problems.  Some companies purchase this protection and give it to their employees as an additional benefit.</p>
<p>Prepaid Legal encourages associates to use &#8216;Old School&#8217; methods of prospecting such as approaching your family and friends and the three foot rule.  Sadly few Network Marketing companies have an online system to teach their associates how to find qualified leads.  Some people try buying &#8216;Legal leads&#8217; but the majority of these leads are old, or have been used several times already.  They rarely work and are usually not targeted.</p>
<p>The modern way to generate Prepaid Legal leads is to use a system online which shows you step by step how to market and how to set up your own attraction marketing system to magnetically draw leads to you without using the out-dated methods usually associated with Network Marketing.  This means you will have access to far more people using the internet, because you are connecting with people all over the world, rather than just in your local area.</p>
<p>Very few Network Marketing companies teach their associates how to market their businesses, despite it being called Network &#8220;Marketing&#8221;!  Without marketing skills, people get easily discouraged and then leave the business.  However this does not happen if you have a system, because as long as you are prepared to work hard and study hard, you will have the principles by which to build a massive business.</p>
<p>I myself have only been marketing online for a few months, but can generate leads everyday, because I am learning the principles of attraction marketing from the system I belong to.  Many of the methods I use are free or cost very little money although there are some paid methods which we learn as well.  I have generated more leads online in a few months than I ever did in 6 years of marketing offline!!</p>

<address><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Hit the Tweet Button NOW!! ==&gt;</strong></span></address>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Video Marketing</strong> <strong>will rock your MLM!</strong>  It is one of the best ways available to get yourself noticed using <em>Attraction Marketing</em>.  Because <span style="text-decoration: underline;">YouTube</span> is now<strong> ranking as the third most visited</strong> site on the internet, any mlm business owner who regularly downloads videos to YouTube are well on their way to becoming recognised and remembered online.</p>
<p><em>And who wouldn&#8217;t want to rock their MLM with Video Marketing</em>?</p>
<p>I know you are probably saying its scary but you just have to get over yourself!  No-one really likes seeing themselves up on a screen, but you have to remember that other people see you differently.  Just try to imagine the <em>camera/video is your friend</em> and have a conversation with them.  Relax and try to tell a story or  concentrate on getting your point across.  Have a written plan of what you are going to say in case your mind goes blank and try to find somewhere comfortable to stand or sit.  If you feel uncomfortable inside try going into your garden and find a nice background for your video.</p>
<p>Make sure once you have set up an account with YouTube that you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">connect with other people</span> there.  Watch other peoples videos, and subscribe to every channel that you enjoy.  Add anyone you particularly like, or already know as a friend.  Leave comments for people and <strong>always encourage others</strong>.  You will find that many people, especially fellow MLM&#8217;ers will reciprocate and subscribe to your channel.  This alone will bring you into more and more peoples consciousness, because the sheer numbers of people using the site mean that your videos will be watched regularly.</p>
<p>Post videos up everyday.  Particularly if you are just starting out with <em>Attraction Marketing</em>.  After a couple of months of regularly posting videos and adding friends and subscribers, you will be perceived as someone who knows what they are doing with Video Marketing and will gain more viewers.</p>
<p><strong>Make sure your videos give value</strong>.  You want the viewer to come away thinking that they would have paid money for the information you gave them, or that they definitely learned something from watching it.  It may be that you just made them think about something which they had forgotten, or maybe made them see something from another angle.  As long as they watch them and feel they were useful in some way, then you have succeeded in your efforts.</p>
<p>One good way of making a video is to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">share a story</span> that you know with the viewer.  First of all it will probably make you feel more comfortable telling a story and secondly, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">stories inspire people and change peoples lives</span>.  If they can relate to the story you are telling, they will feel good that something like that happened to someone else.  This may inspire them to follow in your footsteps and get on with their business.</p>
<p>A good way to ensure the viewer clicks through to your article or blog, or whatever you want them to click through to, is to <em>not finish your thought</em>!  If for instance. you were saying there are two ways to do something, tell them one, then suggest they click on the link to find out what the other one is! This way they feel psycologically that they are missing something and click on your link to find out what that is, even if they do not realise why they are doing it.</p>
<p>And always make sure you <strong>give a call to action at the end of your video</strong>.  A large number of people watching your video will click on a link if you advice them to.  You need to TELL them what to do next.  It could be &#8216;visit my website at..&#8217; or &#8216;click on the link next to this video&#8217;.</p>

<p><a href="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/helpful-tips.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-141" title="helpful tips" src="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/helpful-tips.jpg" alt=" 9 MLM Article Writing Tips" width="115" height="116" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Writing Articles</strong> seems quite straightforward, but if you need your articles to be seen and ranked, you will need to put some thought into several areas which may not have occurred to you.</p>
<p>1.  If you are writing for<em> article directories</em>, your articles need to be in an editorial style, and you can definitely not swear!  However if you are writing something just for your blog, or to put on a social media site such as MySpace or LinkedIn, the article can be more personable.</p>
<p>2.  Use only one or two <span style="text-decoration: underline;">keywords</span>.  Make sure you use these keywords a few times in the article body, but do not use them where they do not make sense.  Try to use them naturally.  Dont repeat them ad nausem just to try and rank higher.  This will not work; the article will be considered spam.</p>
<p>3.  The title must be optimised.  It must attract attention or interest someone enough to make them want to read the article  It must also convey to the readers clearly what the article is about.</p>
<p>4. <strong> The description of the article is VERY important</strong>. This is what will show up when someone does a search.  Imagine you were doing a search for something and the first four or five results sounded like what you were searching for.  Which one would you choose?  Whichever sounded the most interesting, or compelled you to open it!  So think carefully about what you say.  Try to draw the reader in to read your article!</p>
<p>5.  Focus the article body around the subject.  This may seem very basic, but if you are writing an article around one or two keywords, do not go off at a tangent; try to keep within those keywords and save anything else for another article on the wider points.  If the body of the article does not seem to agree with the title, google will not rank it highly.</p>
<p>6.  Keep your article short.  500 to 700 words is ample.  If you write more than this it is highly unlikely that people will read it.  There is so much information on the internet that people tend to scan read alot, and anything over this amount would just be ignored.  If someone does not bother reading to the end of the article, you are missing out on them coming across your author resource box.</p>
<p>7.  Do not promote anything in your article, just give value to the reader.  Use your author resource box only to promote.  The best way to do this is to make it read as though it is part of the article, so that if the reader has enjoyed your article, they will be encouraged to find out more about you.</p>
<p>8.  Try to add  a personal story into your article whenever you have one.  Always remember: Fact tell, stories sell!  People get inspired by stories about other human beings.  If you can get someone to think &#8216;thats how I feel&#8217;, or &#8216;thats what I did&#8217;, they may feel a connection with you and want to know more about you.</p>
<p>9.  If you can create an offer at the end of your article, always make sure it is specific to the subject of the article.  If a person is reading an article about Facebook, for instance, they will probably be happy to click on a link with more information about Facebook after they have read your article.</p>

<p><a href="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blogging.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-128" title="blogging" src="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blogging.jpg" alt=" Blog Your Business Into Profit!!" width="116" height="116" /></a></p>
<p> Why do you need a <strong>blog</strong> if you are <em>marketing on the internet</em>?  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">A blog is a MUST for your business in 2010</span>!  But why?  And how can you make money from it?  So many people are shouting that we must get a blog, but you need to understand what the purpose of your blog is.</p>
<p> 1.  <em><strong>You Blog is the &#8216;Nerve Centre&#8217; of your business</strong></em>!  Everything else is connected or linked to it in some way.  It is the hub, around which all the rest of your business revolves.  It is a friendly, homely place where people hang out and chat, and generally feel comfortable!  If it was a real place, it would be a coffee bar!! lol</p>
<p> 2.  A Blog can generate <strong>repeat business</strong>.  When someone becomes a customer, they may subscribe to your newsletter or list, or subscribe to your RSS feed, and this leads to repeat business!!</p>
<p> 3.  <strong>Market Research</strong>.  Because a blog is regularly updated, customers will come back time and time again to see what is new, and you can get them to give feed-back in the form of comments, on what they like, dislike or want to see more of.</p>
<p> 4.  You can keep <strong>product reviews</strong> in front of your buyers, and introduce<strong> new products and services</strong>.</p>
<p> 5.  It can be easily<strong> syndicated to other sites</strong>, which all point back to your blog.  This means that you have your link on other websites such as Twitter and Facebook and other social media sites, and these links all point to your blog.  You need as many links pointing to your blog is you can, because they all help send traffic to it.  Other people who have blogs may be willing to have your link on their own blog.  Also if you submit articles, you can make these link back to your blog page.  If you have lots of links out there, you will raise your ranking considerably.  Alot of traffic equals alot of business.</p>
<p> 6.  It is reasonably <strong>easy to set up</strong> and very easy to maintain, saving you time and effort in the long run.</p>
<p> 7.  <strong>Search Engines love blogs</strong>.  This is because they are regularly up-dated and added to, something which search engines love on any web page.</p>

<p><a href="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/twitter-logo.png"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-114" title="twitter-logo" src="http://suecollier.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/twitter-logo-150x150.png" alt=" Twitter is Misunderstood!!" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Twitter</strong> is very misunderstood. I hear so many people say that they do not understand it, or they dont see the point of it.  And it is difficult to put your finger on why it works so well, but it clearly does!  <em>Twitter is now the 13th most visited site on the internet</em>, globally.  There are several million users, although no official number has been released by Twitter as yet. Whatever the number, Twitter features almost daily in the news nowadays, whether it is a celebrity tweet or on the bad side a murder, following a dispute on Twitter, which is in the news this morning.</p>
<p><strong>Twitter</strong> is the latest <em>social media site</em> to be used regularly for businesses.  At first no-one understood how a business could gain from being on the site.  Now it is well known that they can study what customers are saying about their brand and take action to keep on the right side of customers.  They can also announce events and generally give good customer service by being available and approachable.  In <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Network Marketing</span>, many business builders are getting leads everyday from Twitter using <strong>Attraction Marketing</strong>.  You need to have a good clear photo, information about yourself in your bio and of course a link, usually to your blog for anyone to go for more information.</p>
<p> Then you have your 140 character comments, or tweets. So what do you say?  Well the question Twitter asks is <strong>&#8216;What are you doing</strong>?&#8217; and whilst many people actually answer that, others may send out lots of other information.  Inspirational or motivational quotes, jokes, photos using Twitpic or other services, or they may share something they have come across on the internet that they think other people may be interested to see.  If you are a Network Marketer you can put out links to your blog when you have up-dated it in order to drive traffic to it, or maybe links to YouTube to a new video you have posted.  It is all about getting more traffic to your blog.</p>
<p> And obviously the more followers you have, the more traffic you can drive.  So you need to add more people to your followers everyday.  You can put your name in <em>Twellow,</em> which is the equivalent to the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Yellow Pages for Twitter</span>.  If you see a tweet which you find interesting and want to tweet it to your followers, you can Re-Tweet it.  Just click on the button at the right.  You can also Favourite any tweet that you see that you would like to keep, maybe like a saying you may want to remember.</p>
<p> One great way to have lots of tips and ideas on how to use Twitter is to download the <strong>Twitter Toolbar</strong> onto your web browser.  This comes complete with 50 tools and resources for Twitter, and <strong>100 Twitter Tips, by Dan Hollings</strong>, so you can get lots of ideas for how to use the site.  And all that is free!  And dont forget to put your Twitter address on everything you send out or subscribe to, because you will get lots of followers that way.  You can link your blog to Twitter, so that a tweet is sent out everytime you post a new article, using the <em>Onlywire </em>service.</p>
<p><strong> One last great tip!!</strong></p>
<p> Sometimes it is difficult when you are offline, to bring your business into the conversation without slapping someone across the face with it.  So if you meet someone and would love to approach them, ask them if they are involved in any social media sites and give them your contact details, such as your Twitter name, and ask for theirs so that you can connect.  <strong>Its subtle, does not scare them away and it works</strong>!</p>
