Obama Inauguration = Renewed Hope For The World

Hi Guys,

I’m sure you most likely were one of the millions who watched from wherever you were, the inauguration of Barack Obama the 44th United States President today at Noon EST. I watched with great pride and anticipation and prayer for our new leaders.

The tasks facing this new administration are no small potatos by any means. The world is also watching to see what this new administration brings to relations around the globe.

I have great faith in Barack Obama as a leader and look forward to him bringing together, all Americans, and all people around the world to resolve the issues at hand and. hopefully, make this world a better place for us all and especially for our children and our children’s children.

I will never stop praying that he will make the right choices for our country.

Just could not let this great day go by without writing my thoughts about it.

To your health, wealth and happiness,
Chris

Quote For Today-By Oprah Winfrey

While you may or may not like Oprah Winfrey you have to respect her success. Perhaps this quote has been a guiding attitude for her that has helped her to achieve the level of success that she has.

” The more you praise and celebrate life, the more there
is in life to celebrate.”

Oprah Winfrey

I’m a firm believer in the principles discussed in The Secret and I found this quote along those lines as well.

Just wanted to share a positive quote with you today.

We’ve Lost Another Great One – George Carlin

Ironic that on Friday I posted some comics and thought we could all do with a laugh and then to get the news today that funny man George Carlin has passed away. That saddens me. He was truly one of the great ones despite the fact that so much of his comedy was literally on the edge, though some might say he even crossed that line.

I saw him in concert once here in Florida and my face hurt at the end from laughing so much. He did a body good and I, personally will miss his style of comedy.

Rest In Peace George.

Social Networking For Traffic And Friends

Social Networking, as of now, is still relatively new, at least as far as being a tool for generating website traffic. That is soon going to change…in a big way.

Everyone is beginning to learn, if they do not already know, that networking and socializing on the internet are becoming more and more crucial to online success. Since the internet is so impersonal (no face to face interaction) just by virtue of what it is, it has become critical that website / business owners “virtually socialize” via the various means available today,and more and more are becoming available. I think I hear of one or two new social networks coming online almost every other day now.

I am sure you have also noticed the wave of videos on the internet now and I do not mean just the funny videos you see on YouTube or elsewhere but the many that website owners put out. Again that adds to the recognizability of the person and makes the interaction with them more personable. You get a feeling of knowing them and that is what it is all about.

Social networking is now more a means for people to interact on a much more personal level than was possible before. Social communities abound now and offer the opportunity to develop relationships with customers, future customers, peers and much more. They can be quite addictive also as they are a lot of fun to be a part of. Be careful of the time factor as you could waste a lot of time in these communities also and let go of what you’re supposed to be focusing on.

How great is it that you can now interact with people and, in doing so generate traffic for your website. As with all ways to generate traffic you must be prepared to offer useful content that people are looking for or needing to improve some area of their lives. My coach and mentor always says that Content = Traffic, however it is key to have relevant content which will drive targeted traffic to your website. This is what will help to make your business a success.

With these social networking sites it is important to just be “you”, not somebody else. This is a basic yet important element for the success of using these forums to develop relationships. People like to do business with people so do not hide behind your business’s name or pretend to be someone that you are not. While the internet is and seems huge, mistakes like this will usually be discovered and could ruin all of your efforts.

Using social sites is beneficial for a number of reasons. It allows you to get your name out there and become recognizable. It is highly recommended that you put an actual picture of yourself, where possible, as this simply makes you more relatable rather than some generic picture / avatar that the site provides. It obviously also makes you more recognizable.

Whether you have your own products or promote someone else’s products as an affiliate, it is acceptable and good to include your promotions in your networking efforts.

You are hoping to gain the trust of and build relationships with people. It is very important that you participate actively in these communities so that you become known and build your credibility as an expert in your field. It is basically the same thing that is done by blogging.

Personally, until I found out about the social communities I thought that Blogging was the only way online to interact with others, except for forums. As a blogger you can learn from your blog visitor’s comments about their concerns and questions and needs. Some marketers have actually got ideas for products from this. People helping people, a great phenomenon don’t you think?

Other suggested ways of social networking are posting in different forums and making comments on blogs yourself.

Wishing you success and fun as you explore the social networking communities out there on the internet. Perhaps our paths will also cross at one of these communities.

Mind Explosion !!!!! Internet Marketing on Steroids

Wow! We have just had the 3rd live call in our coaching program with Michael Cheney. The calls run well over 2 hours and they are over packed with excellent content. There is so much to learn that at times it feels as though my mind will explode.

I cannot believe how much I’ve learnt in the past 3 weeks and how much I’ve been able to accomplish in that short period of time. Prior to this I had no idea the ins and out of setting up a website, modifying and uploading content that creates the website. Doing things to draw traffic to my websites.

I always thought you had to be a techie to be able to do these things or would have to hire a professional to do it for you.

What I’ve learnt that is without challenge in any business online is that you 1) Need a website 2) Need good content for that website 3) Need traffic to come to the website and 4) Need to have things to offer to your visitors that can help them accomplish some task they are looking to do so that you can convert your visitors into customers and develop a lifelong relationship with your customers.

We have weekly assignments from which we learn tremendous stuff each time.
