Hey, Boomers!

What you are about to read comes directly from the heart.

After a near fatal accident and spending almost three months in the hospital, I am finally able to sit back, relax and start blogging again. I apologize for the delay in blogging to the world, but I really had to search deeply inside myself to gain the courage to let the words flow freely.

Yes, it takes courage to write honestly and without worrying about what others may think of you. But that was part of the problem. You see, writing what you really feel shouldn’t affect others opinions because that is the very reason why you are writing. Your opinions and thoughts are extremely valuable for others to learn and understand. I am only a gatekeeper, allowing others to express themselves freely in an ever changing world.

I wanted to thank each and every one of you for reading my blog posts in the past as well as your positive and informative comments. I promise to fill this blog with positive, informational and valuable content. There is no motive for my efforts, just an older gentleman reaching out a hand to those who would like to have a true friend. Our lives are too short and time does not wait for us. Please, set aside a few moments each day to concentrate on the little things that mean so much to you and others that share your life.

By the way, I learned an excellent way to take action and to get things done. Before the end of your day, make a list of 6 things that you must complete the next day and do not go to bed until they are completed. The key is to be realistic and if there are one or two items on your list that you can’t possibly do the next day, then break them down into bite-sized chunks that will motivate you to move forward. If you try this for one week you will begin to feel an increase in your energy as well as your successes. Then, try it for one month and gradually it will become a habit. You will be amazed at your increase in production as well as the accomplishment of your goals.

I also wanted to express a huge thank you to all of you who have taken advantage of a Free Gold Savings Account.

Just to let you know that this is my primary business and I have literally dropped everything to pursue this opportunity. I have been affiliate marketing for over four years now and I have never seen an opportunity of this magnitude.

Hey, Boomers! Bud McKenzie here. I just reviewed the new 2010 version of Blogging to the Bank. Check is out, it’s pretty cool.

By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.

What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free.

Rob Benwell is only a mere 24 years old and has already made several million dollars. Early in 2006 he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.

Just over two years after the success of his first book and over 20,000 copies sold of it and the 2007 2.0 update he is now releasing his third version of Blogging to the Bank helping to wet our appetites and keep the fat bucks rolling in.

I got this book as soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a godsend.

Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.

Saying that when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail. You also get his 5 Blogging Commandments For 2010 that you must follow to give you blogs the greatest success in 2009 and keep them future proofed. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt! His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers withtodays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.

Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 2010.

Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.

Check out Blogging to the Bank here, you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Hey, Boomers! Pick your keywords carefully to attract the kind of visitor you want to entertain on your blog.

Blogs are a very good and easy way to generate traffic and create your presence online. However if there is one thing you must have in order for blogging to be profitable for you and that is targeted visitors.

If you want to generate the kind of traffic that results in profits, you need the kind of visitors that are looking for exactly what it is you’re offering.

In order to attract highly targeted visitors from the search engines, it’s important that you pick keywords with a reasonable amount of searches and that are closely related to the content you’re providing in order to make money with your blog.

A big misconception out there is that so long as you have a blog with a lot of content on it and some banners or adsense, you will instantly start making money. This is wrong and unless you enjoy experiencing frustration (which I’m sure you don’t) you’ll do keyword research.

Keyword research is actually not as complicated as the keyword software producers make it seem, but it is crucial to developing content that pulls in sales.

Another way to optimize your blog posts is to follow the same rules you would follow if you were optimizing a page on a static website.

Use your keyword in your title, a couple of times in your post and don’t be overly concerned about keyword density. Just write like you talk and keep it simple.

Include your keyword in your tags as well as related keywords and believe it or not you’ll start getting the kind of visitors that will make your blogging worthwhile.

There is a crucial component that you need to implement to really ramp up the profitability of your blog and if you would like to know more visit: http://www.undergroundaffiliatemanifesto.com

Hey, Boomers! Another way of getting noticed in the forums is to have your own Avatar.

Having your own Avatar is another important feature to keep in mind when you are sending emails, communicating with others as well as making comments on the forums. In this way, people will get to know you and I always put my face up there so that when someone is reading one of my posts, they can also put my name and face with it and make the connection. This is probably a little corny but it makes you seem like more of a real person that gives you credibility in the eyes of your reader. This is the reason that I always put a picture of myself on any website that I may be working on at the present time. eg.. http://weight-training-workouts.weebly.com

By putting an Avatar linking you to your emails, sites, blogs and forums etc, your readers will get to know you through your Avatar and will instantly recognize that it is you and will be more apt to make comments on your sites. If you really want to see the difference, track the sites, blogs and forums with your new Avatar and see the increased results. Getting a new Avatar is easy as entering an email address which will send you a confirmation link in order for you to enter your username and password so that you can easily upload your Avatar linking your email.

You can also upload any image that you may have on your computer or one that is on the internet. I would recommend uploading an image with a G rating and linking it with as many email accounts that you have at the present time. In this way, any message that you receive or send using your email accounts will be linked to your new Avatar. Go ahead, try it and see the results.

Hey, Boomers! Avoid Negativity and develop your own positive road map for success.

People are always looking for ways on how to motivate themselves and to maintain this drive when they have goals to achieve. From the standpoint of many online entrepreneurs this is a particularly critical issue. Marketing on the internet involves often times working alone and wrestling with the challenges of a competitive industry. Bloggers are a perfect example of someone who needs daily inspiration. They are expected to maintain a constant flow of original and quality content for their readers while also juggling several other responsibilities. The stakes get even higher here if they blog to make money since their income is now also on the line.

The point here is whether you blog to make money or have other goals to achieve we all have the need to generate that inner drive that will help push us to the next level. Once that drive has been found the next step is to find and maintain the inspirational thoughts to keep it alive.

Here is a 5 step process anybody can use to find and maintain the necessary motivation to continue to move forward.

Determine Your Goal(s)

It all begins with you deciding what exactly is it you want to achieve. It is impossible to keep yourself motivated if you do not have a clear picture of what it is you are striving for. By clearly determining your goal or goals and insuring that they are realistic you can then move on to the next step. The key is to keep things REAL.

Formulate Definitive Plans

It matters little whether you are marketing on the internet or you perhaps have set other goals to achieve you will need a plan to get what it is you want. What steps or sacrifices will you need to take or make to accomplish your objectives? This plan or road map is what will keep you directed and on course; without it you will just be going around in circles.

Develop a ‘Can Do’ Attitude

After you have determined that your goals are realistic you want to focus on the benefits you will enjoy once you have reached your objectives. This of course is the ‘why’ behind your efforts and will be instrumental in helping you maintain the drive to reach these benefits.

Here is where you now ‘etch’ these thoughts into your mind thereby allowing them to supply you with the daily inspiration you will need to succeed.  

An Inch at a Time

If necessary start with smaller tasks to make accomplishments easier and to build up your momentum. The more you accomplish the greater your motivation will be thereby making more difficult task seem easier. Easier is good, right?

Avoid Negativity

No matter what you undertake in life there will always be the naysayers. You know the ones. The people that tell you it can’t be done or you are in over your head. Generally these are people who are afraid to take on challenges themselves.

People like this normally validate their own shortcomings by sabotaging the efforts of those who demonstrate more ambition then them.

Avoid these sources of negativity since they will only sap your positive energy and valuable time if you let them.

As you can see learning how to motivate yourself starts with a certain mindset. This mindset can only come from within but once you have established it you can tap into it for daily inspiration. As in the case of most online entrepreneurs the need for inspirational thoughts is a necessity due to the isolated nature of their chosen occupation. But in the end it matters not who you are since the 5 steps we discussed above will work for anyone with ambitions.
