			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_242" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 161px"><img class="size-full wp-image-242" title="24hours-goals" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/24hours-goals.jpg" alt="Got a goal? Write it down!" width="151" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Got a goal? Write it down!</p></div>
<p>&#8220;A goal without a deadline is nothing more than a wish,&#8221; says Rosalind Gardner, the multi-millionaire affiliate marketer who literally wrote the book on affiliate marketing, <a title="Super Affiliate Handbook" href="http://www.superaffiliatehandbook.com/cbae/?a=Naabg" target="_blank">Super Affiliate Handbook</a>. That line shook me like a thunderbolt. Why?</p>
<p><strong>Time Sickness</strong></p>
<p>In my years as a tailor, I often laughed inwardly at three customers with their last-minute crunch-time need for clothing alterations. They are sisters who show up the night before Easter or a dance or a wedding needing alterations on an outfit they just purchased. Their whole family suffers classic time sickness.</p>
<p>I laughed because I regarded myself as having recovered from time sickness. Some recovery!</p>
<p><strong>Always Late</strong></p>
<p>When my well-organized daughter calls and we plan our errands, I tell her when I can be ready to go. Turns out she knows she can expect me a half hour after that. The weird part is *I* didn&#8217;t know it! I&#8217;m eyeball deep in dreaming I get things done&#8211;but with poor results, I&#8217;m now realizing.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliate Marketing vs Time Sickness</strong></p>
<p>According to <a title="Rosalind" href="http://www.superaffiliatehandbook.com/cbae/?a=Naabg" target="_blank">Rosalind</a>, an affiliate marketer takes 7 big steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>market research</li>
<li>build a site</li>
<li>add content</li>
<li>monetize the site</li>
<li>market it</li>
<li>manage the business</li>
<li>grow the business</li>
</ul>
<p>All seven involve many actions, right? If you&#8217;re like me, you feel overwhelmed almost from the get-go.</p>
<p>I either set a work goal unaware it would take FOUR people all day to do it, then fail and feel useless. Or I feel whatever little step I take is inadequate. Or I guess how long a job will take and I&#8217;m way off. Whether the &#8220;hour&#8221; job takes ten minutes or a week, I don&#8217;t even NOTICE so I never learn better!</p>
<p>Score: Time Sickness 1, Affiliate Marketing 0.</p>
<p><strong>My Cure&#8211;And I Do Have One!</strong></p>
<p>Today I woke up with an idea to log my time. Sure I&#8217;ve heard this idea before, probably in <a style="&quot;border:none" title="Getting Things Done" href="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0142000280?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=finchfest-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0142000280&quot;&gt;Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=" target="_blank">Getting Things Done</a> by David Allen. Never mind. Rosalind&#8217;s line about goals, deadlines and wishes hit me where I live. I&#8217;m ready for real, measured action&#8211;the kind that makes her a multi-millionaire.</p>
<div id="attachment_243" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-243" title="timechart" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/timechart.jpg" alt="24 hours ready for affiliate marketing action." width="400" height="308" /><p class="wp-caption-text">24 hours ready for affiliate marketing action.</p></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s my time log I created in Note Pad and printed out with FinePrint. I&#8217;m recording my actions in fifteen minute increments from today on until I KNOW how long it takes for me to do the simplest or most complex things. I included a place for the top six goals for the day. I never get six daily goals done, so maybe this is ridiculous. We&#8217;ll find out, eh?</p>
<div id="attachment_244" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-244" title="24hours-details2" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/24hours-details2.jpg" alt="Today's top 6 goals" width="400" height="217" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Today&#39;s top 6 goals</p></div>
<p><strong>The Rewards</strong></p>
<p>First, no more impossible goals that I beat myself up for failing. Second, lay out do-able goals and track my progress so they get DONE and I build my affiliate marketing business. Third, reach my necessary income goals&#8211;no more just wishing! My daughter&#8217;s look of surprise when I show up on time? Priceless.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p>Thank you, Rosalind Gardner, for sending me that thunderbolt. That&#8217;s a life-changing lesson for me. Did you mean to teach that in the <a title="Super Affiliate Handbook" href="http://www.superaffiliatehandbook.com/cbae/?a=Naabg" target="_blank">Super Affiliate Handbook?</a> I bet you did.</p>

<p>Once upon a time I was an online newbie who wanted very much to buy the <a title="Super Affiliate Handbook" href="http://www.superaffiliatehandbook.com/cbae/?a=Naabg" target="_blank"><em>Super Affiliate Handbook</em></a> by Rosalind Gardner. After all, I was online to replace my tailoring income with an online income. I wanted to play with my computer instead of being tied to my sewing machine all day.</p>
<p><strong>I messed up.</strong></p>
<p>At that time, I was still learning the magic of HTML and how to make .pdf&#8217;s and such. Trying to FTP just about drove me around the bend, so I feared I&#8217;d waste the $47 book. Little did I know how much I would spend on other books later.</p>
<p>Fast forward to now, years later and I stumbled across her book again, discover it&#8217;s newly-updated and I can FTP quite well, thank you. I finally bought the book with a kick to my own behind for waiting so long.</p>
<p><strong>Why?</strong></p>
<p>Rosalind promised I&#8217;d get maximum value by reading the book cover to cover before I zipped off to implement a new campaign. So I did. And soon discovered a chuckle-headed mistake I was making.</p>
<p><strong>What color are your links?</strong></p>
<p>She said one quick and easy way to get more clicks on my blog is to make sure my links are the classic colors people expect to see. My gray on gray blog links irritated me for being so nearly invisible, but being TOLD to change them and how it would boost my income was most welcome. Who knows if and when I&#8217;d ever have bothered to do that on my own?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s just one tiny tip and doesn&#8217;t give you any idea of the comprehensive education she provides in her book.</p>
<p><strong>H</strong><strong>ow do you keep track of everything?</strong></p>
<p>Besides covering all the basics and steps, she shares organization tips. From the beginning, she kept track of everything&#8211;including her many passwords&#8211;with a spreadsheet.</p>
<p>That beats my file cards all hollow. Sometimes I have to <em>remember</em> a site name before I can find my card. I&#8217;d far rather be reminded of all the sites I own from seeing it on a list versus pawing through two (yes, I overflowed one a long time ago) file boxes of login info.</p>
<p><strong>This book is never outdated.</strong></p>
<p>As the internet is ever-changing, she keeps the handbook up to date to reflect the changing times and tools like RSS feeds, blogging and how to take advantage of foreign currency rates.  She shares her personal experience of what works and what doesn&#8217;t, so  the book is evergreen.</p>
<p><strong>Does it work in today&#8217;s economy?</strong></p>
<p>The latest update addresses how the economic crisis affects affiliate marketing. The good news is this: focus your affiliate efforts on helping people spend their money more wisely and everyone wins.</p>
<p>Her methods are tried and true, proven to build a solid business with the likelihood of excellent income by using marketing methods she outlines and uses herself.</p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s talk sales conversions.</strong></p>
<p>Did you know she enjoys sales conversions 3 to 5 times higher than the rest of us? This is a lady I want to learn from!</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s missing?</strong></p>
<p>After reading the book, I wanted a simple list of the steps&#8212;a cheat sheet to accompany the handbook. So I&#8217;ll make one. Even so, as I reread and follow the links, I&#8217;m more than satisfied.</p>
<p>If only I&#8217;d bought it years ago. While she created wealth and a great reputation for helping, I created mounting debt. Ouch!</p>
<p><strong>One last tip.</strong></p>
<p>Rosalind says, &#8220;A goal without a deadline is nothing more than a wish.&#8221; What&#8217;s your goal? Write it down! Take action!</p>
<p>I highly recommend this book. Don&#8217;t get distracted and wait years to end the chaos like I did. Don&#8217;t lose what resources you have in a struggle to find an income-generating system that works. Grab your copy of the <a title="Super Affiliate Handbook" href="http://www.superaffiliatehandbook.com/cbae/?a=Naabg" target="_blank"><em>Super Affiliate Handbook</em></a> today and get busy.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-197" title="karen-sig-blog" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/karen-sig-blog.jpg" alt="karen-sig-blog" width="75" height="44" /></p>
<p>P.S.</p>
<p>Yes, maybe her big income figure seems outlandish and hypey. It&#8217;s no lie, though. See her <a title="YouTube video proof" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLMB5QdDpso" target="_blank">YouTube video proof</a>. Another video gives you affiliate marketing in a nutshell. Great stuff!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_227" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicholas_t/3451938654/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-227" title="waterfall" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/waterfall.jpg" alt="Your residual income waterfall streams." width="400" height="338" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Your residual income waterfall streams.</p></div>
<p>In learning <strong>how to make money writing</strong>, you need to know there are two kinds of money: linear and residual. Linear income is money you get one time only for the work you do. Most people earn this kind of income. It&#8217;s called a job, also known as Just Over Broke. Residual income is money you get many times for work you do. If you write a book on a topic people love, you can sell that book year after year, getting paid endless times for work you did once. How does this work with article marketing?</p>
<p><strong>Keywords, baby.</strong></p>
<p>Spend a little time digging up the keyword phrases that people search for, especially long tail keywords that have moderate searches and not too much competition. Armed with a list of these keywords, you can unleash your creativity on articles people can&#8217;t wait to read. Give them enough information to begin to know, like and trust you so they&#8217;ll click the link in your resource box. Whether you send them to your own product or a product you&#8217;re an affiliate for, you can get paid numerous times. Once started, you can&#8217;t shut it off!</p>
<p><strong>Are all articles residual income producers?</strong></p>
<p>Not on your life. Ask me how I know and you&#8217;ll see a frown on my face. Before I knew better, I wrote articles without a whole lot of thought about keywords, then targeted keywords that were too big and general. How could anyone find my lonesome George article on &#8220;home business&#8221; when there are at least a hundred million of them available on the web?</p>
<p><strong>How to find keywords that count.</strong></p>
<p>Search for keywords with <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/Keyword ToolExternal">Google&#8217;s keyword tool</a> or <a href="http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com">Wordtracker</a> and look for keyword phrases with a search volume of 300 to 500 searches per month. Start with one, then search for more. Thirty keywords will give you a great article marketing campaign.</p>
<p>When you find one, measure its competitiveness by doing a Google search with &#8220;allintitle:keyword&#8221; to reveal how many pages are optimized for that keyword. Anything between 500 to 1000 resulting pages is excellent. Find one? You&#8217;ve just struck gold.</p>
<p>Find some more, grab your thinking cap and get busy on your article marketing now that you know <strong>how to make money writing</strong> for residual income. Are you smiling yet?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_217" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazyneighborlady/415534472/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-217" title="mixedcash" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/mixedcash.jpg" alt="Hot Niche + Winning Product = Cash!" width="400" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hot Niche + Winning Product = Cash!</p></div>
<p>Confused about what to sell as an affiliate? Worried your affiliate marketing strategies will fail? It&#8217;s best to sell what people are already buying. Here&#8217;s how to find a hot niche and winning product.</p>
<p><strong>Two Steps to Selecting a Hot Niche</strong></p>
<p>Go to <a title="ClickBank" href="http://kww48.reseller.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">ClickBank</a> and choose one of the nine categories. Whichever one strikes your fancy is good as you&#8217;ll find gold in all of them. Leave the keyword field empty and browse through the products using Sort by: Popularity. This will reveal which niches and products sell well.</p>
<p><strong>1) Test interest level.</strong></p>
<p>Look at the last item in the line under each product listed&#8211;grav. A big number after grav shows the niche has ready buyers.</p>
<p>Test this with the <a title="Google keyword tool" href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" target="_blank">Google keyword tool</a> where you search for a general term for the niche. If you chose the computing and internet category in ClickBank and see registry cleaners have good grav numbers, search for registry cleaners in the keyword tool. A monthly search volume of 5000 is good, more is great.</p>
<p><strong>2) Test competition level.</strong></p>
<p>First, look for at least three competing products in ClickBank.</p>
<p>Second, with your browser do a Google search for &#8220;registry cleaner&#8221; and see how many Google Ads appear on the right. Five or six ads is a good sign that affiliates make money from their ads.</p>
<p><strong>Three Steps to Selecting a Winning Product</strong></p>
<p><strong>1) Look for healthy ClickBank statistics. </strong></p>
<p>See the line of symbols/numbers in the ClickBank search results you got before? Here&#8217;s what those notations mean to you.</p>
<ul>
<li>$/sale &#8212; average amount earned per affiliate per sale, a number that can be driven down by refunds and chargebacks. If the number is less than the next number (we&#8217;ll get to that in a minute), it&#8217;s a signal that customers demand refunds. Not so good.</li>
<li>Total $/sale &#8212; Go for a minimum of $20 to profit from your affiliate marketing efforts.</li>
<li>%/sale &#8212; average percentage commission earned per affiliate per sale. You want at least 50%.</li>
<li>%refrd &#8212; fraction of product owner&#8217;s total sales that are referred by affiliates. You want to see 70-90% as that suggests lots of affiliates make a generous commission on this product.</li>
<li>grav: # &#8212; an estimate of the number of affiliates with at least one sale in the last 30 days. Look for a product with 50-100 which indicates affiliates do sell it, but not too many, so there&#8217;s room for you at the table.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2) Look for a professional sales page.</strong></p>
<p>This is crucial to your success. Visit the sales page, read it and see if it motivates YOU to buy. Some great products have lousy sales pages that turn off customers. Pass up a bad sales page.</p>
<p><strong>3) Check for ready affiliate marketing tools.</strong></p>
<p>Go to the product website and check out the affiliates section. You don&#8217;t want to rely entirely on your own devices and have to invent enticements. A smart product owner supplies you with a wide array of tools like PPC keywords, ad copy, email ad copy, banners and support.</p>
<p>Did you find a product that passes all your tests? Congratulations! With this as one of your affiliate marketing strategies, you can now proceed with confidence that your efforts will pay off. What&#8217;s next?</p>
<p><a title="See videos" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/articlecashrobotsvid.html" target="_blank">See videos</a> with screen shots of these steps. Hope they help boost your success as much as they help mine.</p>

<p>You may already know that article marketing provides you with free traffic, establishes you as an authority in your niche, builds rank for your web site in Google, MSN and Yahoo, and creates the kind of content everyone searches for and gobbles up. Have you tried article marketing, but didn&#8217;t get these great results? If you don&#8217;t have much money, have little internet marketing experience, no product or are about to quit online marketing, hang on a second.</p>
<p><strong>Would you like to make money with free articles, kick your site into overdrive and get top 10 rank in Google?</strong></p>
<p>I found a $7 report that reveals how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Find a Hot Niche and Select a Winning Product</li>
<li>Target Keywords Your Buyers are Searching</li>
<li>Write an Article that Converts</li>
<li>Create Landing Pages</li>
<li>Give Your Article Marketing Firepower to Supercharge Your Efforts</li>
<li>Special Summary Bonus: 7-Day Article Cash Robots &#8220;Create, Release and Profit&#8221; Plan</li>
</ul>
<p>This report is an instant download written by Davion Wong, a fellow who offers tons of great information, often for free. I&#8217;m impressed by his helpful products.</p>
<p><strong>How Article Cash Robots Saved My Bacon</strong></p>
<p>In <a title="Article Cash Robots" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/articlecashrobotsvid.html" target="_blank">Article Cash Robots</a>, I learned how he goes about selecting a niche. Something about his method of how to find the &#8220;money&#8221; keywords clicked with me. I finally got it. What a relief after years of struggle. I don&#8217;t know how or why his explanation worked. I just know that now I can write articles and create products that are On Target.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve paid more for other ebooks and received far less than what&#8217;s in this meaty report. No wasted pages here, just good clear useful information with screen shots so I could understand every step. I put it to work right away. His chapter on writing an article that converts readers to clickers includes everything from formatting tips to two great ways to do research and write FAST.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s Wrong With It</strong></p>
<p>At first I was leery because his sales page makes big money promises that I thought bordered on hype. Then my jaw dropped when I saw his low price. In the report I thought he glossed over creating landing pages until I discovered it pays to click the links in that chapter. He shows sample live landing pages you can use as templates and offers free software to create an opt-in page!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve gotten nowhere fast with your article marketing so far and feel stressed out, just learn the step-by-step process this successful article marketer teaches. It&#8217;s how he built his business. This report gives a clear, concise method you can easily duplicate and make money with articles within days.</p>
<p>He ends the report with a 7-day plan that outlines daily steps to create a whole regiment of article cash robots that work to make money for you 24/7.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_200" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px"><a title="Photo courtesy of takacsi75" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13519089@N03/1380483002/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-200" title="keys" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/keys.jpg" alt="Find long tail keywords." width="400" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Find long tail keywords.</p></div>
<p>Hey, online home business owner. How&#8217;s business? Do you get lots of traffic? Are you making money hand over fist? If not, what would you give for these four benefits?</p>
<p>1) know how to best maximize a method of getting free traffic to your web site<br />
2) establish yourself as an authority in your business niche<br />
3) build rank for your site in Google, MSN and Yahoo<br />
4) create the kind of content that sends you traffic from this day forth like the Energizer bunny</p>
<p><strong>Wait, you say. What do you mean what would I GIVE? You said it&#8217;s FREE traffic.</strong></p>
<p>And it IS free. Doesn&#8217;t cost you a single penny. Instead you expend your time and effort, but don&#8217;t worry, there are ways you can minimize the grunt work and maximize your results. What would you give for that?</p>
<p>When I bought Davion Wong&#8217;s step-by-step marketing system <a title="Article Cash Robots" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/articlecashrobots.html" target="_blank">Article Cash Robots</a> for $7, I finally understood keyword research.</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;ve been told time and again what to search for and how, but somehow it never clicked for me. What worked in the guru&#8217;s demonstration never worked for me. I&#8217;d get bogged down in wrong numbers, struggles and confusion every time.</p>
<p>Without the crucial &#8220;money&#8221; keywords, what good was my article marketing? Well, A) it was good practice and B) I gained premium status at ezinearticles.com, but my pockets were still empty.</p>
<p><strong>So what two article marketing secrets did I learn for finding the &#8220;money&#8221; keywords?</strong></p>
<p><strong>First, open <a title="Google Keyword Tool External" href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" target="_blank">Google Keyword Tool External</a> or <a title="Wordtracker" href="http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/" target="_blank">Wordtracker</a> and type in your niche.</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say it&#8217;s golf. Golf is HUGE. No way can you rank with the word golf alone as a keyword. Scan down the list of results for a more specific phrase for what you sell. Let&#8217;s try golf lessons.</p>
<p>You want a three or four word phrase with 300 to 500 searches per month. I see a lot of possibilities, like golfing lessons, pga golf lesson, private golf lesson, golf lesson chipping, golf lesson dvd, and more. Grab all the keyword phrases with between 300 and 500 searches.</p>
<p><strong>Second, check each one for competition with a Google search using allintitle: with your keyword phrase.</strong></p>
<p>Like this&#8211;allintitle:private golf lesson. Look for numbers between 500 and 1000 because this is where it&#8217;s easy to rank for your keyword. Any lower numbers are better yet.</p>
<p>My search today for allintitle:golfing lessons shows 7,340 pages with that keyword phrase. It seems like too many competing pages, but let&#8217;s see if that number is true using a trick I learned from Travis Sago, chief bum marketer.</p>
<p>Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the last page in the list from 1-10 or 1-20. In this case there were 7 pages. When I clicked on 7, I landed on a page that said 301-398 of 7,340 pages. You can&#8217;t get past this page, which means only 398 pages show in Google for the phrase golfing lessons.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s less than the 500-1000 target, so this is a great long tail keyword phrase even though it&#8217;s only two words. I see other people have articles for this phrase.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s try allintitle:golf lesson chipping and see what happens. Ah-ha! Today&#8217;s search finds 331 competing pages, and when we verify that, we find 341. I see many videos and no articles. Chipping must be hard to convey in written words?</p>
<p>Check the other keyword phrases from your list. Get at least 30 good long tail keywords and see what it takes to rank for each one besides good numbers. Do your competitors create articles, videos, or what?</p>
<p>Armed with great long tail keywords and this knowledge about what the competitors offer, you can now write articles and/or make videos to boost your online home business and laugh all the way to the bank. You&#8217;re welcome.</p>

<p>Are you working too hard for too little? Need a &#8220;passive&#8221; form of online income? Affiliate marketing is one of the most &#8220;passive&#8221; forms of online income there is. Why?</p>
<p>- No products to create.<br />
- No customers to deal with.<br />
- No shipping or refunds or anything.</p>
<p>Easy peasy. Well, once you get started it is.</p>
<p>The hard part has been HOW to get started.</p>
<p>1. Buy a web design program for $300?<br />
2. Hire someone to create a website?<br />
3. Set up something free that you have no control over and could be taken away any time?<br />
4. Stumble around on your own trying this, that, and *ooh&#8211;shiny* the other thing? (Not that I know anything about this. Nah.)</p>
<p>See? Not great options&#8211;until now. Jimmy D. Brown, highly successful online marketer &#8211; and fantastic mentor, has put together a course teaching how ANYONE can get started with affiliate marketing with NO experience, NO $300 website software &#8212; and build a lasting online home business.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt from one lesson of his course. See what you think of his teaching style. I think you&#8217;ll like it.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Excerpt from Affiliatenaire<br />
by Jimmy D. Brown</p>
<p>Welcome – welcome – welcome!</p>
<p>We are entering into some exciting times now. Today’s lesson and next week’s lesson mark the final “setup” activities.</p>
<p>Today we’re going to “populate” your blog with content and next week we’re going to publish the first issue of your newsletter.</p>
<p>Then, it’s time to…</p>
<p>Promote, promote, promote!</p>
<p>Woohoo!</p>
<p>So, we’re closing in on those first sales. Keep going. You’re almost ready to begin seeing some results from your efforts.</p>
<p>I’ve heard from quite a few members who have told me they are “finally getting somewhere” due to the step-by-step, drip-feed format we’ve been using. Trust me when I say, it’s only going to get better.</p>
<p>But, it does illustrate a good point: the hardest part of success in internet marketing for most people is getting out of the gate.</p>
<p>It’s been my experience that those who get things setup end up making money. The staggering failure rate that is reported as the “norm” primarily is a result of the lack of getting the foundational things in place.</p>
<p>If you quit and turn back, you’ll be stuck in the starting position once again. And off to find another “option”. One more stat in the staggering failure rate.</p>
<p>If – you – stick – with – this – and – follow – instructions – you – won’t – fail!</p>
<p>Introduction</p>
<p>The ultimate way to get buyers is to strategically use presell content to convert browsers into buyers. It’s time to start blogging!</p>
<p>Your first step is to populate your blog by posting at least five or six messages initially. That way, anyone who visits your blog in the near future will see a busy blog, which makes them more likely to return. If they visit and see just an article or two, they may assume the blog is abandoned (which means they won’t bookmark it, subscribe to the RSS feed, or visit it again).</p>
<p>After you’ve populated your blog, you then need to commit to a regular posting schedule. Obviously, the more you post the better. So if you can post a short article each day, that’s great. But if not, then commit to posting at least three or four times per week.</p>
<blockquote><p>SIDEBAR: We’ll talk more about “regular” weekly blogging later. In fact, I’ll give you so many ideas for getting ready-made content and creating fresh content that you’ll have plenty of options for years to come. For now, we’re just gonna focus on populating your blog with initial content so it has some “meat” to it when people visit.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Well, what do you think? Like the looks of this course? I know I did&#8211;and do! I&#8217;m on lesson #14 and it&#8217;s a corker. Just <em>reading</em> the lesson had my hair levitating.</p>
<p>To get the entire course, simply go to <a title="Affiliatenaire" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/affiliatenaire.html" target="_blank">Affiliatenaire</a>. You&#8217;ll be so glad you did, whether you&#8217;ve never tried an online home business before, or you&#8217;re tired of spinning your wheels.</p>
<p>You not only get access to Jimmy&#8217;s &#8220;system&#8221;, but you&#8217;ll receive 52 weeks of solid training walking you step-by-step through the entire process, including videos and support if you get stuck.</p>
<p>Stuck isn&#8217;t good. Jimmy won&#8217;t let you stay stuck. Check out <a title="Affiliatenaire" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/affiliatenaire.html" target="_blank">Affiliatenaire</a> now and give me a shout out when you make your first sale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_172" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 343px"><a title="Photo courtesy of Motarile" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/motarile/3730333510/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-172" title="giraffe" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/giraffe.jpg" alt="Proof that a misfit works." width="333" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Proof that a misfit works.</p></div>
<p>This is not a redneck joke, but thank you, Jeff Foxworthy. I&#8217;m stealing your idea to explain to some folks that they&#8217;re not so bad after all. In fact, they&#8217;re uniquely talented and perfectly suited to run their own home businesses. How about you, dear reader? Are you an entrepreneur and don&#8217;t know it?</p>
<p><strong>You might be an entrepreneur if&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;re a misfit. </strong>You couldn&#8217;t hack school and you&#8217;ve failed at every job you ever had. Others regard you with suspicion because you can&#8217;t toe the line like everyone else.</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;re always asking, &#8220;Why?&#8221;</strong> And you don&#8217;t like answers like, &#8220;Never mind why, just do it.&#8221; Or, &#8220;Because I said so.&#8221; What kid hasn&#8217;t heard that phrase? Does it still make your teeth grind?</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;re a failure.</strong> You feel like a failure because you can&#8217;t do the simplest things other people do. You&#8217;ve tried a whole lot of things and failed at most of them.</p>
<p><strong>Others see you as a failure.</strong> They&#8217;re disappointed in you or frustrated with you and forever saying, &#8220;The trouble with you is&#8230;&#8221; They insist you must be a good little robot who follows orders and does as asked without trying to change how things are done.</p>
<p><strong>Your motto is, &#8220;Don&#8217;t tell me what to do.&#8221;</strong> You&#8217;re convinced that every boss or bossy person you ever met is a knucklehead who never had an original idea and doesn&#8217;t appreciate one when it&#8217;s handed to him or her on a plate.</p>
<p><strong>You hate rule books.</strong> Whatever stifling, hide-bound tradition others regard as <em>the way things are</em> has almost nothing to do with the way you see life, think or want to live.</p>
<p><strong>Why? Because you have the ability to prioritize ideas over data, be nomadic and learn endlessly.</strong></p>
<p>An entrepreneur is someone who creates value by offering a product or service even if it takes carving out a niche in the market that may not currently exist. He or she gets a vision and sets about bringing that vision into reality.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re in good company with authors like Edgar Rice Burroughs who failed at everything until he wrote <em>Tarzan</em>.  Ever hear of Einstein? Some folks considered him retarded in school and he didn&#8217;t know his own phone number.</p>
<p>So the good news is you may be an entrepreneur. When are you going to start your home business? Please get busy chop chop. Look around, see what&#8217;s wrong and how you can fix it. The world needs you and your vision.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re unsure exactly what you want to do,  <a title="affiliate marketing" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/affiliatenaire.html" target="_blank">affiliate marketing</a> is considered one of the easiest home businesses.</p>

<p>Hi there. Here&#8217;s something cool for you if you want to start your new online business like <em>right now</em> and technology gives you cramps.</p>
<p>Johnny B. Truant (online personality-boy persona of a really competent guy&#8230;shh!) has a <a title="new course" href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=269032&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=61726" target="_blank">new course</a> that takes you step-by-step with videos through every stinking detail of getting your online business up and running&#8211;in seven days!</p>
<p>He assumes you can read email and run a browser, but need help beyond that&#8211;which is why you can&#8217;t get your business going online. If you&#8217;re more experienced than that, skim the lessons until you land knee-deep in the mire you can&#8217;t deal with.</p>
<p>I feel comfortable recommending his course because he was clever enough to give out a freebie awhile back on how to set up your Wordpress blog in an hour for stupidly cheap. I gobbled up that book and found a step-by-step process laced with wacky humor.</p>
<p>As it happens, I&#8217;m familiar with the process and his method is spot on.  Thumbs up!</p>
<p>The giggles he added for fun makes the installation more palatable than the fingernail-chewing worries and hair-pulling I went through the first few times on my own.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s wrong with the course?</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re offended by offensive language, be warned. It&#8217;s in the course, on the sales page, pretty much everywhere.</p>
<p>It starts with the name of the course: <a title="Make the Internet Your Bitch" href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=269032&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=61726" target="_blank"><strong>Make the Internet Your Bitch</strong></a>. Only <em>he</em> would think up that name for a course on making technology work the way you want it.</p>
<p>But the dude knows his technology and then some. I&#8217;m thinking he&#8217;s helped people who mishandled their software settings and techy stuff to the point that it looks like alien roadkill, and he can find the push button that makes it all stand up, salute and get busy making your online business hum.</p>
<p>Like I said, the name of the course is Make The Internet Your Bitch. As in, shape up you tricky technology you. Work right, right now, and keep on working right.</p>
<p>Ooh. Did you feel that little thrill run down your spine? I did. I remember the days when I couldn&#8217;t even FTP 90% of the time. There I was with a brand new site and it seemed like I needed voodoo to make the settings work so I could upload a page I slaved over.</p>
<p>Let Johnny save you from the wasted time, lost business, moping and crying. Check out his course and <a title="get your online business up" href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=269032&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=61726" target="_blank">get your online business up</a> and running seven days from right this minute. No fooling!</p>
<p>Best,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_155" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manel/315901872/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-155" title="royalbacklink" src="http://www.homebusinessroundtable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/royalbacklink.jpg" alt="Photo courtesy of Manel" width="400" height="276" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo courtesy of Manel</p></div>
<p>What happens when you write an article every day and submit it to article directories? Not only does King Content drive free, targeted traffic to your online home business but you also create Queen Back Links that boost your site&#8217;s ranking.</p>
<p>Those back links are gold. The more you get, the higher your importance in the eyes of Google and other search engines and the easier you are to find.</p>
<p>So you want to write articles that work great.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a tip: Cats aren&#8217;t the only curious creatures. People are curious too.</p>
<p><strong>Use curiosity in your headline.</strong></p>
<p>Make a statement or ask a question that grabs the reader&#8217;s attention and entices her to read more.</p>
<p>As you satisfy her curiosity, your words help establish your credibility as an expert in your field. Why should she listen to you? Show her why. Give her valuable information or insight. You&#8217;ve learned a thing or three in your business. Share that with your reader.</p>
<p>If you can present it in a dramatic way, your article will stand out. I don&#8217;t mean you must turn your article into a long, involved production. Far from it. People online don&#8217;t want an in-depth study. They skim for fast creamy answers.</p>
<p><strong>Grab attention with a cliff hanger.</strong></p>
<p>There you are, minding your own business, writing an article or two every day on some aspect of your topic, creating fresh content for your site, attracting targeted customers, and building back links when WHAM&#8211;Google changes how they value everyone&#8217;s ranking. What do you do now?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a cliff hanger.</p>
<p>The thing is, with article marketing, you&#8217;re safe. Providing people with exactly what they need will never put you in the wrong, no matter what new algorithms the search engines put into play.</p>
<p>If you use the keyword phrases your customers use when they search for solutions to their problems, and wrap them in useful content that helps solve their problems, you&#8217;re golden.</p>
<p>At the end of your articles, entice your reader to seek more from you. Promise her more information so she&#8217;ll click your link to read more, grab a free report, or see a video that explains a helpful tip more fully.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t ASSUME your reader will click.</strong></p>
<p>TELL her to click, read more or follow the link. The more value you provide, the more often your King Content article will be read and used by others, creating Queen Back Links that boost your online home business. Everybody wins.</p>
<p>Check out this incredibly powerful strategy for writing a specific type of ezine article that will not only generate tons of <a title="free traffic" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/freetraffic.html" target="_blank">free traffic</a> to your site, but will also have people anxious to join your list and learn more.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
