Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

>> Sunday, February 27, 2005

Recently I read two great books, one of which is called The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T Harv Eker.

Brian Tracy, author of Getting Rich Your Own Way
"This is the most powerful, persuasive, and practical book on becoming wealthy that you will ever read."

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind reveals the missing link between wanting success and achieving it! Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is two books in one. Part I explains how your money blueprint works. Eker teaches how to identify your "money and success blueprint" and how your childhood influences have shaped your financial destiny.

"We all have a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious minds, and it is this blueprint, more than anything, that will determine our financial lives. If your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money -- and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it!"

In Part II you will be introduced to seventeen "Wealth Files," which describe exactly how rich people think and act differently than most poor and middle-class people. Each Wealth File includes action steps for you to practice in the real world in order to dramatically increase your income and accumulate wealth.

According to T. Harv Eker, it's simple. If you think like rich people think and do what rich people do, chances are you'll get rich too!

Blogs Good For Business?

Well that is for you to decide....

Blogging has become very popular in the past year. At the end of 2004, there were more than 10.4 million blogs out there. Mind you that some of these blogs are simply family oriented or inactive with a large following under the age of 30.

Last month, Fortune magazine estimated that U.S. companies have 5,000 bloggers. This month's Harvard Business Review calls blogging one of its "breakthrough ideas for 2005." "Blogs will flourish or survive based on how good they are," Austin says.

Just about everybody says blogging is working through an era not unlike that of the Wild West.

Napalese Journalists Blog too!

Here's one interesting concept. In a county where expressing onself is quite risky, something this simple has caught on.

One Napalese expresses, "Says Wagle, “I know it’s a risk. But I simply don’t care about that because I know what I am doing is not wrong.” Blogging is risky too because with only 25 internet service providers, monitoring content is easy for the government.

Blogging is certainly something everyone can do!

Political Bloggers - the new paparazzi

Mark Cuban writes a pretty interesting piece on the future of blogging. Here's a brief excerpt of what he writes.

In the world of political blogging, bloggers are the new paparazzi and the traditional news media reporters and columnists are the new targets.


There have been millions upon millions of blog entries. I know at www.icerocket.com, we have indexed at least 6mm pages of blogs. I don’t know the number of political bloggers, or the number of pages posted, but I can tell you this, every single one of them with any aspirations of popularity is looking for a way to stand out. The way that happens is to knock one of the gatekeepers off their perch.

Profit From an Online Community

>> Tuesday, February 22, 2005

Here's an interesting article I found this morning. It is a great way to cash in on the Internet.

Wouldn't it be neat "if you could setup a website, then lay back and collect money while web users build your website for you? " Stephen Buccaro suggests there are many ways to do just that. Here are a few interesting notes in his article.

"Examples are websites that let users post classified ads, articles, links to ebooks, and message forums. This article focuses on starting and profiting from your own online community."

"You could start a general topic online community, but it's better to focus on a specific topic. Some popular forum topics are: celebrity gossip, child rearing, relationships, free lancing, and home businesses. Having a specific topic gives website purpose, and attracts people interested in that topic."

"Boards2Go (www.boards2go.com) provides free message boards hosted on their servers. There is nothing for you to set up. Boards2Go's message boards can easily integrate to your website's layout. Your visitors will never know they left your website."

"Web Wiz Guide (www.webwizguide.info) provides free ASP forum code, and The Free Country (www.thefreecountry.com) Provides Free PHP Forum Code."

Earn Over $180,000 A Year From Google AdSense???

WeblogsInc Earns Over $180,000 A Year From Google AdSense

In a recent article I read on search engine journal, the following made me do a double take...

According to a Google Analyst Jason Calacanis’ Weblogsinc is bringing in over $600 USD per day in Adsense revenue and made $45,000 USD in its first 4 months with the program. The sites yearly take from Adsense revenue alone would be in excess of $180,000 per year based on this early figure. With continued growth amongst the Weblogsinc sites and regular new additions to the network, we are guessing that the figure will be closer to $250,000 USD over 12 months.

Thinking Like a Millionaire

>> Tuesday, February 15, 2005

I'm kinda on a motivational kick right now, after seeing the last two Oprah shows with Lance Armstrong/Sheryl Crow and then how Oprah lost all that weight in her Boot Camp...

So...With that said....

Recently I read an article by Allen Says about the differences between really successful people and people who are struggling to make it. I've read his books before and I guess I have had to step back and take a look for myself at the changes.

"Acting as If"

The only thing that really holds us back from achieving massive success are only the mind blocks we say in our own minds. What I mean by this is that when we actually take down those barriers and believe we can do something, we are able to be successful.

Literally we have to remove what allows our minds to block what remains in place, whatever we might be saying differently in our heads that stops us from achieving those goals. We automatically unleash all the power and ability that has always been there, but that has always been in chains.

"How would you Act and Feel if you already had everything you wanted?"

This is the key difference…

You are simply Modeling the state of mind and body you would have IF you had what you want, over and over again. Repetition is the key to succeeding here.

The simple act of modeling the state of mind and body that you would have if you already had what you want effectively removes all blocks from your system. If you truly get into that state of mind and body the blocks cannot remain in place.

What you are actually doing is removing every block in your system that is blocking your true potential, your energy, your intelligence, your magnetism…

Be confident, know you are comfortable, repeat the process so your beliefs and thoughts become every day and simple to achieve....

I know this is successful, I've proven it before. It is a mindset you have to change. Think it, Believe it, Be it!

http://www.sitepronews.com/archives/2005/feb/11prt.html

Merle has written an article about 12 different creative blogging additions you might want to add to your own blog.
I'll go ahead and run through a few of the suggestions I thought were worth mentioning.

1. Uploading some photos onto your blog. They even have a community for a photo album!

2. Use a popular Blogger Toolbar. Google has one built into its toolbar that makes it a snap to post to your site while visiting any webpage you might want to comment on. Firefox also has a toolbar of its
own with blogging components. See it at http://FireFoxToolbar.com/blogger
or Google's at http://toolbar.google.com/

So there you have it, just a few little tidbits that are totally useful when you are blogging.

Getting Links to Your Blog

>> Tuesday, February 08, 2005

Although it has taken me forever to blog, I know why I'm finally doing it. I'm tired of my results.

I wish I was told straight up to my face, that I could gain 3 or 4 line text link to your site on thousands of other sites getting you tons of traffic and backlinks like crazy on all the SE's, just by doing a blog!!! I'm mean who in their right mind wouldn't want to start a blog??

Well I wish I actually I saw this coming...

Maybe I would have followed someone's advise. I'm not really much of a follower. I love doing my own thing and doing it differently than the rest. The beauty of a blog is that it is much easier to get links than it is to a regular site, and it's free.

Once you’ve started a new blog, the first thing you should do is setup a MyYahoo page over at Yahoo and add your RSS feed. That will get your blog indexed in just a couple of days. Depending on the subject of your blog, you could be getting traffic almost immediately.


Second, you should submit your blog to the large blog and feed directories. Here's one

http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/


Not only will you get some links from large, high-PR directories. But you’ll also start getting dozens, then hundreds, of links from all the webmasters who put RSS feeds on their site. They get their feeds from these directories.


There are also 3 more very blog-specific ways you can get links to your site by Tinu Abayomi-Paul on that subject at EzineArticles.com.


Here it is:


3 Overlooked Ways to Get Hundreds of Links and Prospects to Your Blog
Copyright © 2005 Tinu AbayomiPaul


Did you know that there are free ways that you can get links back to your blog overnight? That after a few days they can number in the hundreds?


No matter what you market on the internet at some point you’ll face the issue of increasing the number of visitors to your site. What most people don’t know is that there are literally hundreds of ways to get free traffic. Here we’ll focus on three overlooked ways to get additional traffic to your site using a blog.


The third most overlooked way to bring traffic to your site with a blog is to read and comment on other blogs.


Now, maybe you’ve done this before but stopped, because you’re becoming concerned about being considered a link-spammer. In that case, leave a link to your site after your comments, instead of in the comment form that hot links it.


In the near future, blogmasters will be able to use special code to prevent spam in their comments section, so this will become less of a concern.


Besides, getting clicks from people who read comments, or visits from search engine spiders through your comments, isn’t necessarily your direct objective, though it’s definitely a plus.


What you want to do via commenting is to enter the blog community that corresponds to your target market. Get to know who the players are and make agreements with them to cycle traffic between you.


Or lurk to find out where your target market typically hangs out when they’re online – you’d be surprised at how many inexpensive and targeted advertising sources you can find through this method.


(If you’re looking to get linked, there’s another way that we’ll go over next.)


This tip alone has earned me a few dozen links from prominent blogs in the past four days alone.


These links are worth ten times a reciprocal link because they send targeted traffic from established sources, and come from experts with records of proven results.


You can be sure these kinds of people will check you out before they linked to you, since they may be judged by the quality of the information they share.


The second method to more blog traffic is the most confusing for newer people, and this is probably the reason its benefits remain overlooked.


In the simplest of terms, Trackback is kind of a remote commenting system that incorporates linking. It allows the reader to follow a topic around the web to see other bloggers remark on the same subject. It enables the publisher to remotely cite references to the issue on which they’ve written.


Once you’ve made yourself familiar with the blogging community you have entered, you can often pick up the pulse of conversations within your site’s theme. Then, when you see issues that you want to expound on, you can send the other site a notification to let them know you cited them on your blog. That link will appear on their site, and often draws visitors to you.


Bloggers who use Trackback often enjoy greater control over this function in their blogs than they do over linking, as they have the option to reject your reference - so there is a lesser incidence of fraudulent linking. That also gives your link a greater chance of being displayed.


So why don’t more people use Trackback?


One reason is that what is arguably the most popular free blog system, Blogger, doesn’t have Trackback. However, Haloscan.com can remedy this with their free service – it’s a cut and paste away.


Many new bloggers don’t get what it is and how it differs from commenting. And of course, the dynamics of it are a little more complex than I’ve stated. But learn to use Trackback properly, and you won’t need to beg for links to your site ever again.


It’s harder to estimate an exact number of visitors that come as a result of trackback links. But if you posted five days out of seven, and was able to get a trackback link to your site three times a week, by the end of the year you’d have almost 150 topical links back to your site, which are more valued by search engines than a typical link trade with an unrelated site.


The most overlooked source of traffic for a blog is through article submission. To start with, turn your longer posts into articles and submitting them to ezines or directories. Look especially for directories that ask for the direct link to the article on your own site, and input the permanent link to the post on your blog.


Make sure that your Auto-Discovery tag is in place and it can mean hundreds more prospects, links and subscribers.


It’s a shame this is the one of the least used traffic methods for most sites, let alone for blogs. In four days, this method generated just over 1000 visitors. 157 newsletter leads, 98 new feed subscribers, and 206 links to my site. You may not get these same results right away, but using these simple strategies can still get you more exposure than you have now.


These aren’t normally the highest quality links, as they rarely make sure of anchor text. However, bloggers are citing me using Trackback, sometimes in lieu of linking to the site where they originally found the article.


To see this in action, do a search on “Can A Ping Really Help Your Blog Get Top Search Engine Rankings", the title of an article I submitted earlier this week.


That article was published within a week of this one- the results speak for themselves. Many of these sites aren’t the ones where my articles are normally published.


There are, of course, plenty of other ways you can leverage the content in your blog or RSS feed to increase the traffic to your site. The methods outlined here may be a bit outside the norm, but, as you’ll soon find, that’s part of the reason they are so effective.
