One of the easiest ways to get more visitors is writing articles and blog posts frequently.

Whenever you post to your blog make sure you are pinging at least a dozen services. Any word press blog will let you add a ping listy. The free word press blogs automatically ping “Ping_O_Matic,” A service that in turns send out pings to other sites. For a free blog on blogger.com you can use “Ping_O_Matic,” or another ping service. There are quite a few of them out there so if one glitches on you, just find another one and use it.

Posting regular updates (once a day or even more often) to your blog will get you more visitors because people will get in the habit of regularly checking (either through visiting your blog or through their RSS reader) to see what’s new.

And posting to your bog is actually the easy writing you will ever do. You can be very informal and get away with it. You have to tighten up things a little when you write an article. Not much, but a little. After all, you want the article directories to accept your article to display on their sites and give you the exposure you want and the back links you are looking for

Posting to your blog can be a lot shorter, say 200 to 250 words. For an article you want to think 350 to 500 words.

Remember to link from within your blog posts to the sites you want the search engines to find a link to and so any visitors reading that particular blog entry will have that link right in front of them

So don’t think too much, just write. You want to get into the habit of spitting out a blog post in 5 minutes. Blog often and set up more than one blog if you want. To really establish a blog some ‘experts’ say you should post up to 5 times a day. But daily will get you some notice. You’ll want to spend your effort on other marketing strategies as part of a full business plan, right?

There are several companies out there that provide traffic generation services of various types, usually for pretty large fees. Or there are free services that promise to bring you traffic if you visit a certain number of websites yourself. You may be wondering if these services are actually worth the money or time you’ll spend to get the traffic.

In my opinion, the answer to that is usually no. Now, I’m sure there are some good methods of paying for traffic (Pay Per Click is another topic in itself and is different than the services I am talking about here) out there, but in reality most of these traffic generation programs don’t get you the kind of traffic you really want.

The people who are clicking on links in exchange for getting paid or for getting traffic to their own sites aren’t really interested in the information you have to offer. They’re only interested in getting credit for visiting your site and getting on to the next site as quickly as possible.

The traffic you really want is people who are truly interested in the information, products and services you provide, people who will come to your site and stay for a while, reading the articles and blog posts and maybe even signing up for your newsletter.

While traffic generation programs may bring more traffic to your site, it’s not the kind of traffic that will help you in the long run. 1,000 hits to your site resulting in “0″ sales is not a good way to make money.

You need to focus your efforts on getting visitors who will actually pay attention to your content, who will come back to your site often and who will ultimately buy what you’re selling. That’s what is meant by “Targeted Traffic.” People who are actually interested in purchasing the product or service you are selling.

That’s the kind of traffic that will ultimately make your business a success and you can’t get it through a get-traffic-quick scheme.

It seems like everyone this time of year is talking about resolutions. A new year is a great time to reevaluate how things are going in your personal and business life, but I think most people go about it the wrong way. That’s why they end up having the same resolutions year after year.

Most people say every year that they want to lose weight or exercise more. But they abandon these resolutions early on in the year because they don’t have a lot of motivation or they think they have to be perfect. One day of bad eating or skipping the morning run and they feel like the year is ruined.

It is much better to set goals for yourself instead. Spend some time thinking about where you are in your business and your personal life.
Picture yourself at the beginning of 2009. Where would you like to be? How much money would you like to be making? How much would you like to weigh?

Get as clear a picture as you can of where you want to be.

Once you have this picture in your mind you can set real goals for yourself based on where you want to go. Remember that the most powerful goals are specific, measurable, attainable, results oriented and time bound. Don’t just say you want to make more money, say you want to increase your income by $5,000 a month within the next nine months.
Goals set in this way are much better than wishy-washy resolutions because they drive you to action. They’re a lot more exciting and empowering than a mere statement of what you’d like to do.

When you set goals instead of resolutions, each day gives you a new opportunity to take a step to reach that goal. Yes, you will have days where it’s hard, where you’ll make no progress, but with consistent effort throughout the year you’ll find yourself reaching your goals and having a lot more fun doing it.

Yours in success,

No… I’m not kidding.

How can Britney afford to party day and night without doing any work?

She’s smart.

See… I said it.

Why?

Because Britney does NOT just sing a song one time in exchange for payment.

Britney records a song one time, but she keeps getting paid for it month after month after month.

It’s called recurring revenue and it’s why Britney does not wake on the first day of the month and wonder how she’s going to survive the month financially. She already knows she has another $800,000 coming in - like clockwork.

Are you as smart as Britney?

Are you still making a sale and getting paid just once?

Or are you making a sale once and getting paid month after month after month?

If not, then you need to pay very close attention to this:

Marc Goldman and I take in millions from our online membership sites. We make one sale and keep getting paid month after month!

Because we have thousands of people in our sites.

For the first time ever, we’ll show what we do and how we do it…

With 5 1/2 hours of video training that gives you the exact details.

My friend Ed Dale is Australian, crazy and rich.

Not necessarily in that order.

One of the key methods he used to amass all the cash was actually quite simple:

Buying and selling websites for outrageous profits.

He’s not only done this himself, but he’s helped a few students to duplicate (and, in some cases, surpass) his success.

On Tuesday, Ed has agreed to let me grill him live and go step-by-step through exactly how anyone can do this starting with no experience (and little capital).

Ed says that web sites are available for peanuts at the moment so this is the perfect time to get started!

Get registered for this teleseminar ASAP:

On Tuesday, Ed’s going to reveal:

- how people are buying sites for pennies on the dollar, doing a “refurb” on them and selling them for many times what they paid in as little as four weeks!

- the inside story behind how 7 of his students that have sold their sites for a million dollars or more!

- how to buy a PR8 site for $300 bucks

- the simple steps to buy a site that brings in $20,000 a year for only $12,000!

- Different ways to buy sites for “No Money Down” just like you can do in real estate!

- The ONE THING that people selling sites completely miss… you’ll start giggling when you realize how much money people are leaving on the table…

- plus much, much more.

I’ll grill Ed for 75 minutes on Tuesday And you can be there absolutely FREE!

But space is limited to the just 600 lines so you must register right now to reserve your spot.

Maybe you know this…

Maybe you don’t.

But if you’re not doing it, you’re missing out on a simple way you can push a button and rake in cash.

I do it every day.

And I get paid every day.

As you might have guessed, it’s this simple:

I send email to my list.

What’s that? You don’t have a list?

Well then you are missing out on one of the absolute easiest ways to consistently bring in major dollars.

You’ve heard the big players have large lists they can mail to, but how did they get those large mailing lists?

You can find out how they do it with a brand new product I’ve just released called “The List Building System”.

The List Building System will show anyone - even a rank beginner - how to get their own highly profitable list set up and growing FAST!

No fluff.

No guesswork.

It’s over 2 1/2 hours of step-by- step video training so you’ll see exactly what to do.

Now you can copy the same concepts I use to rake in thousands a day because I have a large list.

When you have your own list, you’ll be able to follow this same process to keep building it to rake in the big bucks for yourself!

And here’s the best part for you:

Because I’m just releasing this, I’ve set up a special deal for anyone that drops by my blog. This deal is not available to the general public.

Have you ever wondered if one person could make a difference?

Well, one person can indeed make a difference.

And today, that one person is YOU.

Imagine an individual able to live their dreams, able to become self sufficient, and finally achieving their seemingly impossible dream…all thanks to you.

Over 100 marketers are working together with IM Against Poverty, and we’re hoping to transform the lives of thousands of people all over the world by raising at least $110,000 and giving it to the Unitus organization.

And right now, we’re asking you to join us in this crusade to end poverty.

By raising $110,000, we will be helping 20,000 micro-entrepreneurs around the world take a step towards a better life for them, their families, their villages, and society in general.

These funds are used for micro-loans to entrepreneurs to fund their business a few dollars at a time. These entrepreneurs repay the loans and the funds are lent again… and again. Helping more and more people.

We want to help 20,000 entrepreneurs with hopes and desires just like us will finally get a chance to make their own dreams come true.

Here’s the deal:

We’ll bribe you to help!

That’s right. When you make your donation today, you’ll get a huge package of training materials and tools to help you in your online biz. You get way more value than you donate.

The minimum level is just $55 and you’ll help 10 (yes, ten!) people. Plus you get $1,200 worth of resources and training materials!

Even BETTER…

I am personally going to double the number of people you’ll help (if you hurry!).

Here’s my personal commitment:

For the first $22,000 in donations that will help 4,000 entrepreneurs, I’ll personally match those donations with $22,000 of my own moolah.

Yes! I’m digging deep in the Big Dog’s pockets to help a bunch of people and I want you to help me help them!

If you help 10 people, I put up the dough to make it 20 people.

If you help 20 people. I match it out of my pocket so you’re helping 40 people.

When y’all help a total of 4,000 people, I’ll write the check to help 4,000 more. I’ve committed $22,000 in matching funds to make this a huge success for a lot of people.

I’m very serious about making a difference and helping people that want to help themselves. And I’m putting my dough where my mouth is.

Why $22,000? I’ve got a big mouth and it takes a big pile of dough to match it!

Can we measurably change the world?

And, in the process…

Are you ready to be happier, healthier, and more at peace?

We’ve learned that if we seek change, we must be the change we seek.

“Hello, From My Heart” greetings are simply a proven way to be that change.

Since 2002, millions of people have done this small thing that has enormous impact…

For a few days each year, they greet each other, or answer the phone, or address an email with “Hello, From My Heart”.

So simple.

Yet so effective at changing our energy, the energy of those we greet, and the energy of entire communities.

In fact, each year we measure the violence level in key areas before and during this focused period. Each year, violence has measurably decreased. (You can see the exact areas and stats on the site under Event History.)

==> http://www.HelloFromMyHeart.com

Answer your phone with a smile and a “Hello, From My Heart?”

Do this and you’ll be happier, healthier, and more at peace!

And we’ll change the WORLD.

It’s that simple. As we give, we receive,and when we give a greeting from our hearts; we are in our highest power.

You’re going to have to see this to believe it.

Because you’re not going to believe that one guy spent so much time and money to produce this and he’s just letting everyone watch it for nothing.

No trick.

No catch.

If you ever thought reality TV was interesting, you’ll love this because my friend Joel Comm took a group of eager Internet entrepreneurs and trained while the cameras were rolling.

The men and women are competing for a big cash prize and the chance to become The Next Internet Millionaire.

You get to watch them be trained by the world class Internet marketing experts.

You get to watch them compete as one by one they get eliminated.

Until the last woman or man is left standing.

It’s not just good video . . . it will help you in your own Internet biz.

Enjoy the show:
