			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hey, Boomers! Buddy McKenzie here&#8230;<br />
</strong><br />
<a title="The Empower Network" href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=bmckenzie" target="_blank"><strong>You bet they do&#8230;I happen to be one of them!</strong></a></p>
<p>You just have to look around you and see that prices for everything are skyrocketing. How does a family cope? Life happens and there is nothing we can do about it. When we were raising our children, there always seemed to be something that would stress us out. So, again we had to dig into our savings in order to get through the crisis. And to make it even worse, we were taxed on the savings that we withdrew in order to stay afloat!</p>
<p><a title="The Empower Network" href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=bmckenzie" target="_blank"><strong>At first, I didn&#8217;t think there was an answer to my problem!</strong></a></p>
<p>I know that there are many tax saving incentives available, but you&#8217;ll have to agree with me, these initiatives do not put food on the table. When you have an emergency in your family, you have to dig deep, rise above and handle the situation in the most efficient manner.</p>
<p>There are other baby boomers who know that they cannot rely on their government pension in order to survive. There are other challenges that await us such as a parent who desperately needs our help, emergency situations beyond our control and even other family members who require our assistance. The list never stops!</p>
<p><a title="The Empower Network" href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=bmckenzie" target="_blank"><strong>So, I decided to do something about it, immediately.</strong></a></p>
<p>As usual, the solution was not easy and required some effort on my part, but it was truly worth the effort. My feeling is that it is now extremely important for baby boomers to learn how to create a passive income online. The sooner the better because the internet is only in its infancy. These newly learned skills will stay with you for the rest of your life.</p>
<p><a title="The Empower Network" href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=bmckenzie" target="_blank"><strong>And, here&#8217;s how I did it!</strong></a></p>
<p>Let me first explain that this is a learning process and it will require some effort on your part, but by keeping focused, you will undoubtedly prove to yourself that you can be successful. And, with my full support you will start to gain the confidence required to make your dreams a reality. Let&#8217;s face it, nothing happens without some kind of action, right? The key is to say focused and keep moving forwards towards your goals!</p>
<p><strong><a title="The Empower Network" href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/almostasecret.php?id=bmckenzie/almostasecret.php?id=bmckenzie" target="_blank">So, take the bull by the horns and move forward today!</a></strong></p>
<p>Do baby boomers worry about retirement? Only those who are not fully prepared for the challenges and unbelievable opportunities that exist right now on the internet. Remember, something only happens in this world when someone like yourself takes action.</p>
<p>All the best, in your success!</p>

<p><strong>Hey, Boomers!  Check Out These Social Media Marketing Tools for Business</strong>              </p>
<p>Business changes are often born out of necessity. The things we view as innovation are sometimes nothing more than a basic need to use less to do more. Social media marketing is the perfect example. The current economic state has made it that much more important for businesses to limit their spending. We are now more aware of what can be done with hard work and initiative. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the social media marketing options available in 2012.</p>
<p><strong>Social Networking Sites  </strong></p>
<p>Most business owners wish to aid the development of their business by using social networking sites, nevertheless it can be overwhelming. Let&#8217;s take a look at four of the most popular social networking websites.</p>
<p><strong>Facebook: </strong>This free website allows users to create a profile, make friends, send messages to these friends, and post anything they like (within reason) on their &#8220;wall.&#8221; The wall acts as a message board, connecting the user with other connected members. Facebook is one of the most used social networking websites and has over 800 million active users, according to Wikipedia.</p>
<p><strong>Twitter: </strong>A free microblogging and social networking site that lets users send messages of 140 characters or less. These messages are called &#8220;tweets&#8221; and they allow individuals and business owners to let people know what they are thinking or doing at any time. You can also keep up on what others (including your competition) are doing. Twitter had acquired over 300 million users as of 2011 and continues to grow.</p>
<p><strong>LinkedIn: </strong>This website is geared more towards business users. As of November, 2011, LinkedIn had over 135 million users. Known as one of the top websites for business networking, LinkedIn allows users to create and post a profile, photographs and pertinent information about their skills, as well as any services they provide. Once trusted contacts are made, users can then share ideas, information, knowledge and opportunities with other professionals.    </p>
<p><strong>Google+: </strong>This is actually a collection of tools that help users stay connected with personal and business contacts. This is done through Google+ social tools, like Sparks, Huddle, Hangouts and Circles. The network was originally operated on an invitation-only basis; you would have to be invited to join a person&#8217;s social network. No other social network is growing faster, as there are currently 62 million users, a figure <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/117388252776312694644/posts/ZcPA5ztMZaj">projected to grow to 85.2 million</a> by February, 2012. </p>
<p><strong>Social Bookmarking Sites</strong></p>
<p>The benefits of social bookmarking for news and blog website publishers are astounding. You can introduce your websites, or sites that interest you, to those with similar tastes. This can drive traffic directly to your website and create valuable backlinks. Some of the most popular bookmarking sites include StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious and Technorati.</p>
<p>In general, these sites allow communities of users to share content they find interesting or valuable in some way. Through a combination of voting, link sharing and specialized searching, these communities have the power to bring large amounts of traffic to otherwise obscure sites.</p>
<p><strong>Blogs</strong></p>
<p>The most familiar aspect of social media is the blog. Short for &#8220;weblog,&#8221; the blog has become a powerful tool for individuals and businesses alike, however businesses have been slower to adopt the medium.</p>
<p>Blogs have several unique advantages that make them especially beneficial for business use. They can be used as an effective platform for both internal and external communication, and they provide the user with complete control over publicly published content. A blog is also more intimate than other types of communication. It&#8217;s a direct link to the blogger&#8217;s thoughts, something which many readers appreciate. That appreciation can lead to establishing a blogger as a thought leader in a field, as well as fostering greater brand loyalty.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that blog posts need to be genuine. Thinly-veiled advertisements masquerading as informative blog posts will have effects opposite of what&#8217;s intended.</p>
<p><strong>Social Media Marketing</strong></p>
<p><strong>YouTube: </strong>When you think of social media, the first things that come to mind are websites like Twitter and Facebook. The video options offered by YouTube are often overlooked. How valuable can YouTube be? Over 560 million hours of online video are viewed each month in the United States. See the value yet?</p>
<p>All the best, in your success!<br />

<p><strong>Hey, Boomers&#8230;Here are 8 Rules For Social Media Marketing!</strong>   </p>
<p>Have you posted links on Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks and wondered why you never get a response? Do you find your friend requests ignored or have you noticed that you&#8217;ve been removed from lists or groups?  Ever stopped to ask yourself why?  Are those with a huge following and lots of social validation just lucky?  Or have they done certain things to attract and keep their following?  Believe it or not, these marketers are doing things right.  If you do social media marketing the right way, you will attract a large following, get a ton of leads and can massively grow your business almost on autopilot.  So what are they doing right?</p>
<p><strong>Here are the top 8 rules for social media marketing.</strong></p>
<p><strong>RULE 1:</strong>  Never promote your business on the first contact. That&#8217;s like jumping into bed with them before you ever get to know them.  Find something in common and build upon that.  Get to know them and ask about their business first.  Just be a friend without an agenda.  Find out how you can help them and follow through with their requests.</p>
<p><strong>RULE 2:</strong>  Never send random or generic invitations to people to join your list or network.  When you invite someone to connect, you should always include a message, not a link. Compliment them on a post or a training they shared. Find a common interest you both have.  Mention another friend or connection you both have in common. Give them a reason to connect with you.</p>
<p><strong>RULE 3:</strong>  Once you have made some connections and contacts, don&#8217;t start bombarding them with messages about your business.  You will be &#8216;unfriended&#8217; in no time. Instead, give them a reason to stay on as a friend by offering them something of value . . . (see rule #4.)</p>
<p><strong>RULE 4:</strong>  Always look for ways to add value to your contacts through education, not sales. Share with them a motivational quote or a link to a relevant article or blog post.  Offer free trainings that can be shared without an agenda. Don&#8217;t always try to be pitching them on your business or selling them the next big thing.  Always be adding value to the relationship.  (see rule #8.)</p>
<p><strong>RULE 5:</strong>  Prepare your content and information outside of your social networks.  Use the social networks to draw them to your blog, your videos, your website or to the articles you have written.  Let your content do the selling for you, rather than you trying to sell them on what you have to offer.</p>
<p><strong>RULE 6:</strong> Always get permission from your friend before you send them information about your products, services  or your business. Timing is everything.  Make sure it is right.  They are more likely to take a look at what you are offering if you&#8217;ve developed a relationship of trust first, and then they will be open to receiving what you have to offer,  if you have prepared them properly. (Remember rule #3?&#8221;)</p>
<p><strong>RULE 7:</strong> Never do a shameless plug for your product or business on someone&#8217;s content, comment or material.  This is just plain rude and inconsiderate.  Find a way to add value to the conversation, not take away from it by shamelessly promoting your product or service.  Add value, consistently and often.  This will help build trust and rapport, and people will begin to recognize you as a valued contributor.</p>
<p><strong>RULE 8:</strong>  Master the 95/5% give-to-take ratio, meaning you are giving away something of value 95% of the time.  Promote your products and services or business the other 5% of the time.  If you give more than you take, you&#8217;ll sell more when you make your offers.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s what I consider to be the top 8 rules for social media marketing.  I am sure there are others, but if you were just to follow these eight simple rules, you would be ahead of 95% of the other marketers out there who are doing it all wrong.  By following these 8 simple rules for social media marketing, you will attract a huge following, sponsor more people into your business and sell a ton more products and services than those who don&#8217;t&#8230;Guaranteed!</p>
<p>All the best, in your success!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The reason that I ask this question is because blogging is a way to communicate with your reader.  Whether you are telling someone a personal story or an experience that you had with your family over the weekend, we are all trying to connect.  </p>
<p>By connecting with your reader, you are building trust and hopefully that trust will develop into a business or personal relationship with your reader.  </p>
<p>The reader can also extend their trust by posting a comment on your blog.  By making a positive comment, you are adding to the content of the blog, helping the writer connect with others as well as increase traffic through the search engines.  You can also use pingbacks by connecting the writer with other blogs that you enjoy and that they may find enjoyable.  </p>
<p>Posting comments on other Blogs is a nice way of supporting the writer as well as adding your feedback regarding the content of the post.</p>
<p>The key to leaving a comment on other blogs is to make sure that you include a link to your website or offer in the signature area in the comment section.  This is very important because others will view your comments and therefore increase the probability that they will click on your link.  This will increase the visitors to your site or your offer.  </p>
<p>By using the <a href="http://www.cbmall.com/to/harveysegal">Free ClickBank Mall</a>, and the special &#8220;<strong>link builder</strong>&#8221; provided, you can guide your visitors to your offer easily.  </p>
<p>All the best, in your success!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>As you know, blogging is one of the best ways to increase traffic flow to your new online business website (“Um, what’s blogging?” – if you don’t know much about writing blogs, please <strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://cashgiftingsites.blogspot.com/2008/11/marketing-new-online-business-with.html">read this article first</a></strong>.) Once you write your first entry, you start wondering, what is the best place to post a blog? What are the top blog sites that could aid the marketing of your online business?</p>
<p>Here is a list of the best free blog web-sites that I use myself and recommend to my team members:</p>
<p>Blogger.comWordpress.comHubpages.com Tumblr.comXanga.comBlog.comLivejournal.comZimbio.com
<p>“Oh no!” – you say. – “So many sites to sign up for! I hate that!” No worries – I recommend you use the free version of the software called Roboform (http://www.roboform.com/) for all of your Internet sign-ups. Roboform fills out your forms automatically with a push of a button, which reduces your sign-up time to a few seconds per website.</p>
<p>Generally, it’s good not to make your blog sound too promotional, with no more then 2 links to any one web-site per entry, but WordPress and Hubpages are especially strict when it comes to blog content. Make sure you don’t put anything that sounds like a “direct sell” onto those websites – otherwise your entries will get deleted and your account could get suspended.</p>
<p>If you like to write your entries in Word Document and then post them to the blog web-sites, make sure you preview your blogs before posting them. Blogs imported from Word tend to show up with a bunch of gibberish HTML codes, visible on top of the page. You would have to go to the blog edit window, and remove those manually. Once you post your entry on one of the websites I would recommend to copy and paste it from that site for when you start putting your blog on others. That way, you will be rid of the Word HTML codes forever.</p>
<p>Posting your blog manually to all of the above web-sites will take anywhere from an hour to 3 hours, depending on how fast you can work. My team and I have cut our posting time to 30-45 minutes, using a great free blog disseminator (a service which auto-posts blogs to various web-sites for you). I strongly recommend blog disseminators to anyone who values their time.</p>
<p>A quick note about the disseminators: they don’t auto-post blog tags – only the body of the blog – so make sure you put your tags underneath every entry. I advise my team against using simple one or two-word tags, the reason being, that they act as keywords for search engines and if they are too general, your posting will not get nearly as much traffic. For example, try googling the keywords “blogging”, “blog” or “online business”. There are millions of search engine results for each of them. What is the chance that YOUR blog will show up on the first page?</p>
<p>Instead, try using longer tags. Think of something an actual person would search for in Yahoo! or Google. For example, good keywords/tags for this particular blog are:</p>
<p><strong>Where to post a blog, best websites to post a blog, top blog sites, top blog web-sites, the best place to post a blog, marketing a new online business, online business marketing, blogging for a new business, writing a blog for a new business, how to post a blog, new online business marketing tips, best free blog sites, best free blog websites</strong></p>
<p>If you haven’t yet joined an online business opportunity, make sure you ask your team leaders for help with blogs, as they are extremely important to your development as a marketer. For example, I provide my team with links to various blog directories and with detailed tips on how to avoid common blogging mistakes. Remember that the more blogs you write, the more people will go to your website. I would recommend writing a blog every other day for the first month after your start/join an opportunity.</p>
<p>I hope this was helpful to you! I wish you best of luck in your blogging endeavors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hey, Boomers!  Here are some good blogging tips to keep in mind to become a successful blogger. </strong></p>
<p>A Successful blogger can easily make a living online. But, starting the blogging journey can feel overwhelming and quite frustrating. Here are 6 tips that can help you blog more effectively and become a successful blogger.</p>
<p><strong>Find A Topic And Stick With It</strong><br />When you are just starting your blogging carrier, its much easier and better to stick with one topic. It makes it easier for you to research and produce fresh content. Also, most blog readers tend to stick with bloggers who specialize about one subject. You can be a jack of all trades when you have established yourself and have a big base of readers. But, in the beginning put all of your effort towards attracting and satisfying a specific group of readers.</p>
<p><strong>Create Unique Content </strong><br />Its been said over and over, Content is king. Specially fresh and unique content. In this day and age, fresh content is everything. People are looking for new information. They are tired of the same old stuff found on thousands of blogs and websites.</p>
<p><strong>Write In a Simple Language</strong><br />Blogging is way different than having a website. People like blogs because of the way it makes them feel. A blog is a way for you to connect with others. In my experience, a blogger who writes as if he or she normally talks, gets to attract and keep more readers.<br /><strong><br />Update Your Blog Regularly</strong><br />Search engines rely heavily on blog activity and the number of times it&#8217;s updated for ranking them. They are always looking for quality blogs that are updated regularly, which tells them the blog is producing fresh and useful content. Keeping your blog updated while making sure about the usefulness and the quality of your blog, will give you an edge over other bloggers in the search engine ranking game.</p>
<p><strong>Check Your Spelling</strong><br />I myself sometimes make mistakes here and there, but it is very important that you produce content free of such mistakes. People tend to discredit bloggers who regularly misspell or make grammar related mistakes. It is a good idea to proofread your content before publishing, at least twice. Making a mistake here and there is ok. We all do that. Even the best writers make mistakes once in a while . People understand that, but frequently making such mistakes, is a different matter.<br /><strong><br />Respond to Your Readers Comments</strong><br />Many new bloggers tend to over look this important point. People like to be part of the conversation. If you keep ignoring your readers, they will eventually find another blog to read, where their thoughts and comments matter. By responding to your readers comments and questions, you are connecting with them in a personal level and letting them know that they matter to you. Just as you want me to read your blog and value your thoughts, I as a reader of your blog, would like to be valued as well.</p>
<p>Blogging can be one of the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.blogstash.com/53-ways-to-make-money-online/" title="53 Ways To Make Money Online!"><strong>top ways to make money online</strong></a>, if you can create a relationship with your readers. The more benefit you add to this relationship by producing valuable content and appreciating your readership, the bigger you and your blog will grow, and that&#8217;s the basics for becoming a successful blogger.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hey, Boomers!    Keep your content fresh and share your thoughts about current events.<br />
Your readers will keep coming back!</strong></p>
<p>Blogging is such a great way to share our thoughts and views with other people. But, lets face it, most of us want to drive traffic to our blogs and keep the readers coming back, whether we want to make money from our blog or not. There are many ways to drive traffic to your blog, but the most important part is keeping those readers loyal to your blog. Here are 3 ways you can attract new readers while keeping your current readers coming back.</p>
<p><strong><br />Update regularly</strong><br />The easiest and best way to keep visitors coming back to your blog is obviously updating your blog. People want fresh content. If they have to wait a couple of days or in some cases weeks for you to write something, they will find another blog. Readers tend to stay more loyal to blogs that are updated often. Some bloggers even update their blogs several times a day. You can also use simple things like joke of the day, video of the day, or something like that to add some fun to your blog. People like those little touches.</p>
<p><strong>Talk About What&#8217;s Hot</strong><br />Participating in forums and web communities is a great way to get involved, and find out the topic of the day. What people are talking about and what they want to hear. Use such communities to always stay ahead and write about new things that readers want to read.</p>
<p><strong>Know Your Readers</strong><br />After while blogging you will come to know who your regular readers are. To keep them coming back, write about topics that they like. Many times readers leave comments about certain topics or ask a question. You can simply turn that question around and make a post out of it. It will show your readers that you care about them and you do listen to them. It will make them feel appreciated. Once they know that, they will be more likely to be loyal to you and your blog. </p>
<p>These are just a few few simple things you can do to keep your readers interested. Be creative, there are many other ways you can keep your blog readers happy. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple response to comment or a personal email to a couple of readers, to show them you are loyal to them as well, and that you do keep them in mind.  Of course at the same time you need to work on different <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.blogstash.com/61-easy-and-free-ways-to-drive-massive-quality-traffic-to-your-blog/" title=" 61 Easy And Free Ways To Drive Massive Quality Traffic To Your Blog!">ways to drive quality targeted traffic</a> to your blog as well. By building a relationship and providing good quality information, not only you keep your current readers, you also attract new visitors to your blog, who may one day become loyal readers of your blog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In creating a blog you also want to create an enjoyable and beneficial experience for your readers. Looking around the internet you will see that all the most popular blogs have one thing in common and that is they strive to serve their readers. The fact of the matter is if the needs of the blog reader are not met they will simply leave never to return. Without anyone to read and post comments on the site a blog will eventually lose subscribers along with its ability to attract any new visitors. </p>
<p>What is it then that the popular blogs do to keep their readers satisfied and maintain their appeal and ability to attract new traffic? Well there are several things no doubt that help increase the appeal of a blog but today we will focus on just the fundamentals.</p>
<p>Here are 3 things you can do to increase the appeal of your site making it a more enjoyable experience for every blog reader who visits.<br /><strong><br />Format for Easy Scanning</strong></p>
<p>Maintain an easy to read format for the visitors to your blog. Using relevant keywords in an already descriptive headline is a good start.</p>
<p>As often as possible incorporate bullet points, numbering and sub headlines into the body of your post. Using a layout like this makes the content easy to scan for useful information or relative points being made. Lastly avoid using large blocks of text but instead keep paragraphs and sentences as short as possible.<br /><strong><br />Interact with Readers</strong></p>
<p>One of the biggest appeals to those who frequent blogs is the ability to interact with others INCLUDING the owner of the site. When visitors post comments that require a response always try to do so. By not responding to comments directed at you the &#8216;spirit&#8217; of community is threatened at the blog. If visitors feel like there is a lack of interaction or a reluctance to interact they may very well not return to the site.<br /><strong><br />Post Useful Content<br /></strong><br />When posting to your blog always try to include some useful information for your readers. This is one of the biggest reasons they continue to return and if you develop a consistent pattern of posting content readers have little interest in they will go elsewhere.</p>
<p>When any of your readers post comments look to see what they are talking about since this gives you great insight into what is of interest to them. With information like this you can make the subject the focus of your next post or perhaps even create a series of entries around the topic.</p>
<p>If they have questions answer them and if they present problems try to solve them but in any event let them know you are listening. </p>
<p>Creating a blog that readers will enjoy should be the first concern for anybody wanting to operate a successful site. By keeping the blog reader happy they are more likely to continue returning. By maintaining this steady flow of traffic at your site you will likely experience more interaction which is what everybody looks for and benefits from. The readers enjoy the increased sense of &#8216;community&#8217; and you the owner benefit from their input and encouragement. By consciously remembering to follow the 3 simple &#8216;guidelines&#8217; discussed here today you will not only increase reader satisfaction but also make it a more gratifying experience for yourself as well!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Posting fresh and interesting blog entries to your site on a frequent basis is one of the biggest challenges facing anybody maintaining a blog. Locating and developing quality content for use in your blog posting duties is crucial if you want your readers to remain loyal. It is therefore essential that you continue to seek new sources of the quality information you need to fashion into post that your readers want.</p>
<p>Since blogs allow for interaction amongst members and site owners, use this to your advantage for developing interesting content for your own site.</p>
<p>Here are 3 ideas you can use to develop plenty of quality content for use in your blog posting to attract readers both new and old.<br /><strong><br />Solve a Nagging Problem</strong></p>
<p>View comments by your own readers or perhaps those left at other blogs to &#8216;pick up&#8217; on any common problems that many people seem to have in the niche. By offering solutions to these problems and then opening up to your readers for their opinions or suggestions you can gather enough information for several posts.<br /><strong><br />Opinion Polls</strong></p>
<p>By polling your own readers on subject matter that is relevant to their interest and the niche you are in you can reflect back the results in your blog posting. Once again by asking their opinions or to give their feedback on the poll results you posted you can easily accumulate additional content you can post about.<br /><strong><br />Create a List</strong></p>
<p>By doing a little internet research you can easily find rankings, popularity polls or standings that are relevant to what you blog about. By posting this information to your site your readers will likely find this information intriguing since it is something you know they already have an interest in.</p>
<p>In addition this type of format is easy to compose and even easier to read so it means less effort for you and more enjoyable reading for visitors.</p>
<p>This type of approach is also great for announcing or revealing any growing trends of interest to your readers.</p>
<p>The blog entries you post are crucial towards maintaining reader loyalty while also attracting new traffic to your site. Continually finding fresh quality information for use in your posts can be exhausting work if you do not know where to look. The 3 ideas we discussed here today are from a source that is already available to you, your readers. By tapping into their interest and concerns you can easily find enough ideas upon which to base your posts. The best part is a lot of these ideas can be developed without even having to leave your blog.</p>
