Legally Blind To Success In Online Marketing

So, you think you can make it in this business, but you been doing it for awhile, and have had little success.  Maybe you have been working on your blog or you have been on Facebook and made a few friends.  Well, it is going to take more than that.  It will take a proven technique and a lot of focus.

The only way to make it in this business it to get started on something that is working and then stick with it long enough to see if it works for you.  “Well, what if it doesn’t work and I fail?”  It is not failure it is only feedback.

WordPress Blogs Being Hacked

Don’t you think it is quite amazing the feeling of total “freak out” that a person feels when they realize that they have lost their phone?  Well, that is nothing compared to the freak out that I felt when I thought that I had lost everything on my blog last week!

What is RSS Feed and how does it work?

What is RSS Feed and how does it work?  That is a good question.  Many people have a basic understanding of what it is, however, they don’t know the best way to use it.

Who uses feeds?  USA Today, BBC News, ABC New and on and on… so why not You.  This is a great way to ensure that people who are interested in you stay interested in you.  You want to give them ample opportunities to subscribe so that you can be there for them when they are looking for some information or advice.

Like wise, you want to subscribe to sources of information that keeps you informed without taking you hours to search and find it.

.
The reason that you want people to follow your personal or business blog RSS is you want people to know who you are.  People join people that they know, like and trust.  What better way for them to get to that point than to be reading your blog.

Click on my RSS Feed and keep connected to me!

Happy Trails…..

Different Buying Personalities

There are many considerations to think about when you are marketing and selling.  It does not matter if you are doing this in a brick and mortar operation or an online business.  A major consideration is the buying personalities of your target market.

It is important in any sales situation to be able to figure out which category your potential client is in.  There are five categories, as well as many sub categories, but I am only going to talk about the top five.
