Best Business To Start – Start Within

If we are talking about the best business to start why would I go into a Yoda like phrase of  “Start Within”.

Well, there are a couple of reasons why but let's focus our force… Okay… I'll cut the Yoda talk.

Best Business To Start – Increase Your Personal Value

Regardless of the business most successful ones are run by highly motivated people who have succeeded in their past life

experiences. Be it from real estate to stock trader the person driving the ship, the captain, normally has some special skills they have developed over time that allows them to be successful.

Of course you will have the ones that have no skill set except have a ton of money but that in itself has it's own particular traits. Being an investor takes a lot skills that most people don't have like for one… Balls.

If your new to working for yourself and you have always had someone “boss you around” and your looking for an outlet I would highly recommend before you start looking for that best business to start to go ahead and start to invest in yourself.

You need to figure out what makes you tick. Having passion for a business goes a long way. Sure it's not necessary but most businesses fail because of the lack of cash flow but if you have a passion for your industry you will stick in for the long run.

The only other way around build a business where you don't have a passion for it is if it's sustainable. So that it can grow and eventually take on a life of it's own while being for the most part cash positive. Continue reading

Little Tikes Playhouse – Time To Upgrade

As of this writing you might have not known that my 2 little kiddos are 4 and 6 and both love to mess around in all kinds of Little Tikes Playhouse sets. I have no clue what the fascination is but my kids play with the all of the time like it's drawing them with some unknown magnetic effect.

Little Tikes Endless Adventures Tikes Tlittle tikes playhouseown

This was one of the sets that my kids play with all of the time at the local toy store near us at Toys R Us. They just loved the different aspects of the playhouse. I think most display units are chosen because of setup or ease of sale. This Little Tikes Playhouse set sells like gangbusters due to the price point and general size of the unit.

I normally or lets say almost 90% of the time try and go out with the family when doing errands. I would say 100% of the time we have gone into Toys R Us and they have a display of this little tikes playhouse it's a sure thing they go and play in it. I remember countless times my kiddos would just play in that ONE set while my wife went to get baby stuff or look for some deals for gifts. I think most times they would even play the entire time so I would just hover in that area taking my phone calls for my internet marketing business while the kids are playing around.

If your wondering, the picture to the right is not of my 2 kids or my wife 😉

What is even more telling is that if there are other kids in the area they are all drawn to this little tikes playhouse. It's like how kids want to play on a jungle gym set when they see one. This is the shiny toy they are pulled to play with. It's fun and I don't have to worry about them hurting themselves with this one too.

Little Tikes Playhouse – Requirements

As a father I generally look at a couple things:

  1. Price (who doesn't?)
  2. Size
  3. Complexity
  4. Durability
  5. Longevity (lasting appeal, will they keep using?)
  6. Possible re-sale?
  7. Shipping and Transportation (will it fit in my Van?)
  8. Something better (more or less expensive?) Continue reading

So the panda took it's first couple shots at me and took me down to nothing for 25% of my sites. I'm not going to cry and give up.  The strong survive. It's survival of the fittest and I'm not laying down and getting stomped on.

Develop a rock solid mental state that you will NOT give up. Continue to learn and test. Test and Learn.

Article Marketing Strategy – Pump Up The Articles

It's generally useless if your just hitting up content only to leave it there for the google bots to pick up. If your not doing ANY OFF Page SEO it's all for nothing. See, the most beautiful women in the world will never be found unless someone broadcasts her whereabouts. Essentially, it's all about the marketing of your content.

If you think about this, a great marketer can make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.

But that's not what your gearing to do. You are here for a long term business. One that continues to grow and get more traffic. Organic search hits is only one source of traffic and if you have great content you will start to get Referral and direct traffic.

How?

Great content found with organic search could potentially go viral. If your content goes viral you will get a ton of traffic that spawns from referral sites and your traffic takes on a totally different look. One that is totally organic as it grows through syndication methods.

You need to do the basic steps of:

  1. Keyword Research
  2. Great Content
  3. On Page SEO
  4. Off Page SEO

If you have no clue what I'm talking about please, please, please educate yourself. The 4 step process above is only the beginning but generally all you need to know.

Article Marketing Tips – Face Punch A Panda

Here are some article marketing tips I found after reading some test studies from people who use UAW.

Before I dive into the testing of another user I wanted to touch on the Google Panda issue. For most the Google Panda was supposed to target content farms and essentially bring down no value adsense sites. Now no value is subjective but in the end duplicate sites and auto-blogs were supposed to be de-ranked and allow valuable sites to make it to the top.

The Event happened April 2011 and 25% of my sites got gobbled up by the panda.

Article Marketing Tips – Panda is Alive!
