LinkedIn Strategy

LinkedIn is a fantastic social media site, especially for those who are in the business-to-business markets.

If you’re not in a business to business market (like Internet marketing), I’m not saying LinkedIn can’t be valuable to you. But I would consider focusing on other social media platforms instead.

Why? Because LinkedIn is where businesspeople hang out. Businesses advertise their business. Workers put up their resumes. It’s a place for professions. It’s not a place for dieting, workouts, pet care, and other niches like that… at least not usually.

LinkedIn is a spot where people make connections with those in similar industries. It’s also a spot where people network, partner up, and look for ways to boost their business.

Flawsome (Embracing Imperfection)

Here is this week’s bonus report, about abandoning the theory that whatever you do has to be perfect.

Introduction

Welcome to an imperfect world. Relax, it’s going to be all right. You see, imperfections are not a bad thing. In fact, imperfections are a good thing. They can cause growth and laughter. They can make you a more authentic person. They can be things of beauty and they can empower and grow self-confidence. Not too shabby for something that the majority of the world tries to avoid.

This book is all about showing you how to effectively embrace you own imperfections. We’re going to teach you that embracing imperfection is a positive process that has the ability to bring about great changes.

Then we’ll look at the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi and how it can teach you to begin appreciating beauty in an imperfect world. Finally, we’ll look at specific ways to empower you imperfections and build you self-confidence in the process. So, without further ado, let’s start embracing imperfection. Remember, a mistake is only the first step to getting it right!

Creating Amazon Affiliate Websites for Passive Income

Amazon has a pretty incredible affiliate program. It’s a favorite of many online marketers for a reason. Some people focus on it pretty exclusively while others just use it here and there on blog posts and articles where it makes sense to.

You want to earn more passive income, so the Amazon associates program seems to be calling your name. But, can you really earn enough with the program to make a difference? Can you really earn a great passive income with Amazon?

The thing you should know upfront is that earning with Amazon isn’t like earning as an affiliate with digital products. They aren’t going to hand you 50% of every sale or anything anywhere close to that. You’re going to earn a pretty small portion of each sale– just 4%, when you’re first starting out. That can hardly seem worth it.

Announcing a Brand New 8-Part Video Course

 

“Finally, Discover How to Rank Your WordPress Site Consistently On Google and Other Search Engines…Starting Today!

This 8-part video course is designed to show exactly how you can ensure your site stays in Google’s top 10 results.

Dear Business Owner,

Have you ever tried to drive traffic via Google only to find yourself jumping around from the top 10 to the top 50?

I know – it’s frustrating, until you really get the basics.

There is a reason behind this, but do you simply want to know how to rank your website correctly and consistently at the top of the search engines?

There is a huge amount of free traffic available if you’re willing to work for it.

But work alone isn’t going to get you anywhere.  The reality of it all is that your website’s ranking can be changed due to the recent Google Penguin, Google Panda, and all the other means of changing the search engine algorithms.

The truth is that you never know when it will happen, and this creates a feeling of uncertainty.

Building your business on top of uncertainty is never a good feeling.

And this very reason is why a lot of people are afraid.

Now, there are two main parts when it comes to driving traffic with search engines.

First of all is on-page optimization, which basically means how you will make your website more search engine friendly so they know exactly what you are talking about.

Second is off-page optimization, and these things include social backlinks of all sorts of types along with high authority sites linking to you.

While many things change, come and go, some actually stay more consistent.

So, because these two topics are very extensive and often extremely expensive to learn, in this video course my goal is to help give you the fundamental and basics that don’t change often.

What are the things you need to do and keep doing over and over again?

What will work for years to come?

That’s really the main question.

Now, we are going to be using the WordPress content management system, because it will actually help you get a site up and running, and get it optimized quickly and easily.

8 Part Video Course

Here’s a breakdown of this 8 part video series in more detail.

Video #1 – Introduction and Overview

In this particular video, you’ll be given a quick overview of the course. We’ll discuss how to get into the right mindset before you get started so that things will come more naturally and you will be able to get better, more consistent search engine rankings in the future. We’ll also cover tools that you can use to dramatically help you in this process.

Video #2 – What’s the Intent of a Keyword?

Before you go out and try to simply grab a bunch of keywords, you really need to get down to the basics. Different keywords can mean different things, and not understanding where your buyer is in the process can set you up for failure.

Video #3 –  Getting Keywords and Understanding LSI

After you have understood the intent, it’s time find keywords. Plus, you’ll need to understand the basics of LSI. But we’re not using the Google Keyword Planner for this. Instead, we are going to use something else – something much more effective.

Video #4 – On-Page Optimization Basics

Once you have understood LSI and gotten your keywords, it’s time to understand how on-page optimization works. URL structures. Your domain name. Should you use brand names or keyword names? Which things stay consistent? Which things change that you need to be aware of? The bottom line is that if you know what stays consistent and you just keep implementing them over and over again, this will truly change your ranking for the better.

Video #5 – WordPress On-Page Optimization

Everything discussed in Video #4 will be implemented here. Of course, the goal is for you to learn and implement. We’ll discuss URL structuring, categories, and site structure.

Video #6 – Creating LSI Content

A site without content is nothing. You need content. So how should you write your articles or blog content to ensure they are SEO optimized?

Video #7 – On-Page Consistency via Plugins

What WordPress plugins should you use? What settings should you use? While we have tested several different plugins, we have gotten better results with some over others. There’s more on that in this video.

Video #8 – Authority Backlinks

As promised, we will use a small portion of the course to cover backlinks. What types of backlinks should you focus on or avoid? Why is Trust Flow important? What tools can you use to detect this? And much more.


Grab this video course now so that you can start ranking and driving traffic to your site consistently!
