Hey everyone. I stopped in because I am looking for some helping hands…..  I have been doing a lot of volunteer work recently and I came across a family in need. They are a young couple who have 3 little kids. Their house caught on fire this week and they have lost everything. Unfortunately the deadline to apply as a Christmas Cheer family has passed.

We are taking any donation any one could possibly make, to help this family in their time of great need.

If anyone is willing to help please contact me.

Every dollar counts, and so does every donation. If you can be one of our helping hands you will make this family’s holiday season a lot brighter. Thanks in advance.
All donations are also a tax write-off, if that helps your descision.

List Building Secrets

List building doesn’t have to be a secret. It’s mastery can be broken down into simple steps. It can basically be defined as the process of collecting voluntary response of your ethical bribe.

What we are going to do next is define a simple step by step pattern to driving traffic to your opt ins. This will help grow your online business to a strong mature base.

1) First you need an ethical bribe to drive your conversions to higher levels. After you have a “bribe” that is relevant to your industry. Put together an opt in box and have this go to an auto responder that will put your business on auto pilot.

2) Write an article discussing the benefits that your website and blog provides. Look up “article directories” to find a good selection of articles. Make sure this article is well thought out brings strong content for your readers. They will keep coming back for more! Make sure you offer your readers a gift that they will appreciate in your “resource box”.

3) Conduct seminars. During your speech, let others know about your website or blog. Tell them what it is about to spark their interest. Have a way for them to sign up. You can do this with a sign-up sheet that asks if they have any additional questions.

4) Form a real life mastermind. Make sure that your supporters know about your website or blog. Make it easy for them to promote it. Give them the tools necessary for them to help you. A little bit of foresight will help you in the long run.

5) Develop an opt-in mailing list ’sign up’ sheet for your website or blog. Bring this with you to all offline functions. We already mentioned conducting seminars. You can also use this sign up sheet at your classes, speeches, meetings, etc.

6) Forums that are aligned with your website or blogs mission or topic are going to be the fastest way for you to get into the “hub” of your online community. Answer and help the members with their problems and they will be much more open to what you are selling. Don’t forget to add your website or blog to your signature line!

7) Pay Per Click or PPC tends to be focused on only one shot sales. However, adding your opt in box to your landing page will dramatically increase your conversion ratio. Let your clients get into the buying cycle at their own speed and you will be there when they are ready.

8) Online Communities are a free and very effective way of getting your opt in offer in front of more people! These communities are packed with like minded people. Your profile will help drive more traffic to your opt in offers be sure to include a great ethical bribe that your friends will appreciate.

9) Press releases are very fast quick method of getting your information in front massive amounts of readers. This highly leveraged avenue can be utilized in your marketing efforts to explain the mission statement and benefits of your website or blog. Be sure to explain to your readers how they can opt in to your mailing list.

10) Trade shows are another significantly underestimated form of offline traffic generation. You can purchase a booth and have information about your business readily available to your industry. Make sure you have a sign up sheet available and in clear view so your readers can opt in to your subscriber base.

11) Joint Ventures or JVs are a high leveraged “secret”. Using your competitions list in your own marketing efforts will help create a win-win-win scenario for everyone. Be sure to mention link swapping.

12) Co-Registration is a great tool for creating a win-win-win solution for your competition and you. Make sure they add a simple question, to their opt-in box that basically says, “Would you be interested in opt in for additional offers relevant to what you are looking for?” then you do the same. Competition doesn’t have to be enemies anymore!

Use just a couple of these strategies and your opt-in list will be packed with clients. Make sure you stick with the lifeblood of your customers. Help them and they will help you. These tactics will drive traffic to your opt-in use them today.

Mass Article Control Review by Amanda Moon

Mass Article Control Review | Is it really the best article creation software?
by Joey kissimmee

Early July we saw a new product coming out called Mass Article Control.

The authors of Mass Article Control, Bobby Walker and Adeel Chowdhry promise that this software can without any effort create unique articles by the hundreds and that the process only takes seconds. Then it will send these articles to hundreds of article directories giving your article marketing campaign a super boost.

Article Marketing is not only a very cheap way to market but it’s also very effective. The reason many hesitate to use article marketing is because it can be very time consuming. If you want to have success with it you have to make sure you are not submitting duplicate content as that is very unpopular with the search engines (and article directories). This can lead to hours and days of rewriting and then you have to submit you articles and if you don’t have access to a paid submission service it can take forever. But luckily this product changes everything!

I always get a bit excited when a new product comes that has the possibility of making my article writing faster and easier. Most of the products I have tested create articles that are ok for search engines but humans will have a hard time reading them and I really don’t like that.

The Mass Article Control uses word replacement, paragraph replacement and a very good synonym database in a very clever way. It’s actually the best work of a synonym system I have yet seen. I do like the Unique Article Wizard better as I think it creates better articles (uses a completely different system) but it’s also more expensive, monthly $67 instead of $77 one time fee.

There are two main components to the Mass Article Control software. It’s the Mass Article Submitter and the Mass Article Creator. Using them together you can create and send out thousands of unique articles with just a few mouse clicks.

Basically this is what you do: write an article about a subject and/or the product you want to promote and put it in the Article Mass Creator. Then I would recommend that you put in your market specific keywords. The program will then create very smart and unique article using it’s synonym database and your keywords. The process is very simple and the software creates the articles within 30 seconds.

Using the Mass Article Submitter is very easy and if you are in any trouble you can watch the training video included in the package. When you have created the 100’s of articles you simply use this software to automatically send them to various article directories.

Using the Mass Article Control was a pleasant surprise and that’s quite impressive as my standard is pretty high when it comes to article creation. Spending $77 on this product is simply a smart choice and you will quickly get your money’s worth when the results of your article marketing is delivered. The only reason not to buy it, is if you would rather do all the hard work yourself ;-)

Top 10 Hot Twitter Tips

Filed under Amanda's Blog, Twitter Stuff

Here’s some cool tips on getting more followers for your twitter that I found on the net. Pretty cool stuff. hope ya’ll like it and implemented…

1)Follow users with their own picuture, as individual people follow you back more often than companies.  Don’t follow logos or people who haven’t even bothered to upload an image.

2) Add a follow me twitter badge at the end of each   blog post.  When I started doing this, I immediately started getting 50-100 new followers every day.

3) Add a ‘retweet’ button at the end of each post.

4) Follow users who have a low follow to follower ratio, close to 1:1, as there is a much higher chance they will follow you back.

5) Keep your own follower ratio close to 1:1 as well.  A lot of users look at your profile first and don’t follow people that they don’t think will follow back.  If you have 1000 followers and only follow 50 people back, you will turn off a lot of potential new followers.

6) Follow people during Monday to Friday 9-5 when people tend to be on twitter more. (In your local area, and if you are following users from your area)

7) Avoid insignificant tweets like, ‘LOL’ and ‘Thanks’. That is fastest way to lose followers.  Use quitter to keep track of what updates cause you to lose the most followers and try not to repeat it.  Bottom line is try to ‘add value’ to the conversations instead of adding to the noise.   When responding to someone try to repeat part of the original conversation, so other can understand what  you’re talking about.
Example: Instead of just saying ‘thanks’, you could say, ‘thanks, bit.ly looks like a cool tool, I’ll be sure to check it out’

8) Try to get Re-tweeted.The more times you are re-tweeted, the more your username shows up on other users updates, which will get you more followers.  Have a look at what others are Re-tweeting and tweet similar stuff, or simply RT the RT stuff. 

9) The the most obvious way to get more followers…Follow more people. Around 50% will follow you back even if your tweets suck. So if you follow 1000, 500 should follow you back with 1-2 days.

10) And if these free methods don’t work fast enough for you, try one of the automated following tools out there like, Twitter Traffic Exposed ($47)or HummingBird ($197).  (Reviews of these products coming soon…)
