Goal setting is important – if you’ve set goals, you’re more likely to achieve things. There have been various studies that have shown that people with goals outperform those who don’t have them.
Written goals perform better than “top of the head” goals.
Detailed written goals go even further.
But what’s rarely mentioned is how your goals affect your results.
A lot…
Exact match domain names are often suggested as being useful for SEO purposes.The logic is that Google take account of the domain name when they return results for a search and give a small boost if it matches.
Is that true?
Or have they been over-used and will you get penalised?
In internet marketing you’re always told to choose a niche.
But how can you decide whether or not to enter a particular niche?
Will it be profitable?
Will it be worth spending time on?
Matt Garrett’s WP Cheat is one of those products that makes life easier.
Much as I like WordPress, there are some things that it’s frustrating to do with it.
Things like this box for example. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec odio urna, accumsan id sodales sit amet, tristique in ligula. Integer at velit eros.
The closer you can match your articles and posts to what’s going on inside people’s minds, the better.
We all have an inner voice. For some people it’s fairly quiet, for others it’s as though it has a loud hailer at its disposal. And all points in between, often at different levels at different times.
Most people don’t vocalise their thoughts but if you can get inside your own head and get to the bottom of what’s bugging you, you can write an article or a post about it. And it will resonate with your readers.
One of the things that’s almost always suggested in internet marketing is give stuff away for free.
An ebook or special report or a video or even some software (maybe a WordPress plugin) in exchange for an email address.
Once this happens, you’ve got another subscriber and you’ve read that each subscriber is worth $1 a month, so that must be good news?
We all need plans – both business and personal.
Otherwise we’re just wandering aimlessly and getting nowhere fast. Or nowhere slowly.
Either way, without a plan of some sort, that’s still not somewhere we intended to be.
If you haven’t got a plan currently or if it’s a while since you visited your plan, check out these ideas.
Monetising your website is a great way to turn it from a cash drain into a money maker. Here are some of the ways you can get money from your site without turning it into a bazaar or smothering it with pay-per-click adverts.
If you ask anyone in business whether or not they’re listening to their customers, the answer will almost certainly be “yes”.
But the reality is often different.
But listening skills are very important – whether they’re face to face, on the phone or Skype or interpreting what someone really means in an email, text or Facebook comment.
High competition keywords are usually profitable but, by definition, difficult to rank for.
Almost any one or two word phrase will be highly competitive although chances are that you won’t see many adverts on Google for quite a lot of those phrases because they’re too generic and advertisers struggle to make them pay.
High competition keywords don’t necessarily mean there are a lot of searches for the phrase. It could just be that they’re high margin industries – for instance, anything a lawyer might be involved with – or that the lifetime value of a customer is high.
So how can you target a high competition keyword?
