Bill Reid's Homebased Internet Marketing Tips

The Most Powerful Link In The World

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 07:21:37 GMT

When you are in business there is usually something that gives you, or your service, or your product, a value that will benefit others. That is really what business is all about. Regardless of whether it's a homebased business, online business, Internet business, marketing business or some other type of more traditional brick and mortar, store front type business, the entire purpose of it's being is to offer a solution for a specific problem that is evident to the prospective customer, and that the customer wants to resolve. Every business competes for customers, even though not every solution, or product that is offered by every business is equal to the others. Some solutions are just better than others for a variety of reasons. Some businesses have a product or service that is unique, or contains some proprietary technology that makes it more competitive or useful than others. When the prospective customer is properly presented the advantages of a given solution that has some "unique edge", compared to the competition, assuming the prospective customer is "qualified", (Qualification includes a need, recognition that the need exists, a desire to fill the need, and the ability to pay for the solution.), then the probabilities that the prospective customer will buy the product or service are greatly increased. Most businesses that have a "special" edge will go to great lengths to protect their "technology" or whatever the "uniqueness" is that makes their product or service more valuable than all the rest. Now, with that said, if you are attempting to conduct your business online through the World Wide Web or the Internet, with web sites or other "online" marketing tools, then "findability", or "visibility", for the web site you are promoting on the search engines is of paramount importance. You still have to have something of "real value" to offer those who may have a need for your product or service, but getting online "traffic" to the site you use to promote your product or service becomes priority number one. "Findability" is the problem that needs to be resolved. There are a lot of different methods and techniques that are being presented as the solution to this particular problem. Frankly, some work, and some don't. Some cost lot's of money, and some don't. Some are feasible or practical, and some are not. I could go on and on, but the "bottom line" is, to be successful on the web or the Internet, you must have links and content that promote your business' web presence. The content must be of high quality, and relevant, and It is no secret that some "links" are more valuable than others when it comes to promoting your business. It follows then, that if more "valuable links" are part of your promotion, you would want to know how and where to acquire them for your sites and online tools. What if I told you that The Most Powerful Link In The World just happens to be free? If you click on the hyperlink here and go to the page behind the link, you will probably begin to scratch your head and wonder if I have lost my mind. Unless you are a Search Engine Optimization specialist, or have some training in SEO, then what you see when you get there will probably not make any sense to you at all. To the untrained eye, it will probably appear to be just a simple page with some catagories that you can "click on" to see advertisements for services or products in which, quite honestly, you have no interest at all. I will be the first to admit that when I first learned of The Most Powerful Link In The World it didn't make any sense to me at all. Then someone told me how it works, and I became a bit more interested. I used the link as instructed, and it was a huge factor in producing the result that I was seeking for my web presence. Then, after a considerable amount of thought and experimentation, I devised a method of using The Most Powerful Link In The World that has a multiplying effect that I'm not even it's creator envisioned. I believe that by applying the methods of using "the link" that I do, I have captured an infinite potential to drive the web presence of any business on the Internet that, heretofore, did not exist. Would you like to learn how to put this extraordinary tool to work in your online business marketing effort? I will show you how to use it, and then if you choose to do so, the rest will be up to you, but I want to offer a word of caution here as well. The implementation of the methods I employ with "the link" are very easy and simple to use, however, it will require effort. There is definitely a price to pay. There is a learning curve, which I will assist you to overcome as quickly as is possible. Then there is the actual "work" that is involved in putting the "tool" to work for you. If you are sincere about your "online success", you will be more than just a little glad you took the time to check it out, and I hope you are, and that you do. If you follow the last link at the little flashing icons, you will find my Who Is Bill Reid page and all the contact information you may need as well as a more intimate glimpse of me and some of my online businesses. Feel free to contact me by any method you choose. I will be more than happy to make your acquaintance.

Growing Day By Day

Do you find youself staring at the wall sometimes and wondering which stack of paper to reshuffle next? We all have our ways of dealing with clutter. Some have it and some don't. I have it, and it's not an issue for me most of the time. I usually know which stack has the important stuff in it, and I know all the stacks by priority. Do you? How do you measure progress? Is it by the size and number of stacks of paper on your desk, credenza, and sometimes in the floor in the corner, or do you measure progress the quantity of the result that you are seeking to generate in whatever you are doing. If that happens to be prospects for your sales business, or if it happens to be the dollars in your bank account. It doesn't matter so much how you measure progress, but that you do measure progress. I am a list maker. I like to create a list at the end of the day, or night, depending on how late I am working, which is usually pretty late into the night, and then when I have everything on the list to do tomorrow, that I didn't get done today, I put out the light and get out of the office. When the bell goes off in the morning, as I get my first cup of coffee going, I check the "list" and see which project needs the highest priority. Then I start. My goal, no matter which project I tackle for the day, or first of the day, is to get something done. Be able at the end of the day to look back, when I am setting up my list for the next day, and say, yes, I did accomplish something today...I moved the stack a little bit. I hope you are able to move your stack a little bit too....

What Part Of Success Is Luck?

From time to time I hear the stories and see the reactions of people when they learn of someone's great successes. So many times they come away with the view that the successful person sure is "lucky". And, to be sure, there has to be some degree of luck in lot's of things in life, but it's not always luck. Most of the time it's just plain down to earth hard work. Take a look at the young tennis star for example, so young and so good at what he or she does. Is it talent? Is it developed skill? Or could it just be luck altogether? I say that the only luck involved is that someone recognized an interest and thrust a tennis racquet in the youngsters hand as soon as he or she was able to get a grip on it and hold it up.... Same could be said of most any other sport. Golf? Tiger Woods. Football? The list is too long to document. Same with baseball. So what about business? Mostly hard work. Yes, lucky to be associated with the right people along the way, the right tutors and mentors and so on, but mostly the person who stayed the course and did the work and learned the trade, business or whatever the success is a part of, is the real hero, simply because they were willing to put in the time and effort and kept the goals and dreams alive. When you think about it... isn't success mostly a product of work and dedication?

Working with A Homebased Internet Business

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 19:13:03 GMT

When you find yourself in business at home, suddenly there is a new way to think of the way things get done. There generally is no "George" to delegate the detail to. So you have to walk the line between being busy with detail and being productive. It's true that getting ready to sell is the biggest part of the job, the selling is the easy part. But the money comes from sales, not detail work.

Internet Marketing Is About Choices

Making your site findable is the greatest single challenge to success on the Internet... You can make it happen if you choose to, and get the right tools for the job. For me that choice is the Veretekk System. You should take a good look and give it a little time to develop before you go charging off to Google and paying for clicks...That can get expensive. Come take a look at my free Veretekk system just to the right of the first flashing animated dot just to the right of this message. Come on in, get a free system and take it for a little test run... The worst that can happen is that you eliminate the system as a means of promoting your business.
