Work From Home Ideas - How to Get Links For Traffic and Search Engine Rankings
By Carroll Woodard

As work from home business owners, we need to acquire links to our website and get search engine rankings. You may use, or may have used some of these strategies in the past, some you may not have used at all. If you have tried these, but are still not getting the traffic you think you should be getting, then you need to revisit each strategy and make changes, and do so frequently. Also, we must keep up with the ever changing landscape of Internet marketing.

Here are a few strategies to use for links, traffic, and search engine rankings:

Classified Ads

You might be surprised at the amount of traffic you can get from classified ads -- free or paid. There are many classified ad sites online, or Craigslist, or you might try classifieds in your local newspaper.

Press Releases

There are plenty of free press release websites to chose from. Make a press release about a new website, a special offer, or make a release for your current website. There are also many paid PR sites available for use, some of them are very pricey.

Content

Writing unique content for article directories, or your blog, is also a good way to get links. There are many people who think they can not write articles, but after you write a couple of article, it will become a lot easier to write more. These are not novels, just essays on your niche or product.

Video

This is a relatively new platform for advertising, but is growing at an incredible rate. You will need a digital video camera, and a format that is compatible with say YouTube. There are many sites where you can get this platform for free, but for better quality videos you will have to pay. This is a great way to get links, and advertise your product.

Directories

The two biggest directories are DMOZ and Yahoo Directory. DMOZ is a free open directory, but getting listed may take several months. Yahoo Directory is a paid directory, if you can afford the yearly fees, is very good for getting your website visible. You might want to use some alternative directories such as Business.com, Bestoftheweb.com, or Massivelinks.com.

Social Networks

This is also a relative new forum for advertising, these networks are exploding on to the scene. You can get unique visitors to your website. Facebook and Twitter continue to grow daily. This is a lot like building a list, in that you get followers.

Social Bookmarking

With social bookmarking, you can share sites with other members. These would include sites like Delicious, Digg, and Reddit. But there are many, many more sites like these.

As work from home business owners, we must keep current with new Internet marketing trends and keep tabs on our current advertising strategies. We need to change those strategies that are not working, and try new methods to see if they work better. If not, traffic to our websites will decrease and our competitors will gain traffic.

Enjoy MLM Success Using a Sales Funnel
By Matthew Flatt

If you are in an MLM and you're still struggling to sponsor people into your business, you may want to look into setting up a sales funnel. Let me explain. First, picture a funnel. It has a wide opening at the top which gets smaller and smaller near the bottom. The top of this sales funnel is where you direct your "unqualified prospects." These are people who may be interested in your opportunity, but whom you have never spoken with. At the bottom of the funnel, many sales steps down the road, you have those people who have joined your opportunity.

Many of the top MLM producers are successful because they have used these funnels to dominate their industry by creating a refined sales funnel process that guides prospects through a tested marketing channel.

When setting up your sales funnel, your goal should be to immediately capture the attention of your prospects. To capture your prospect's attention, you should demonstrate how your opportunity will benefit them and explain how your MLM business is exactly what the are looking for. It should give a reason or call to action to get that prospect to sign up for more information.

After your prospect signs up and enters your sales funnel, your job is to nurture that prospect and to establish a relationship with them. During this time, you should also be filtering mismatches and refining those that you would like to partner with in your MLM business.

At the end of the sales funnel, you should have a prospect who has joined your opportunity and is ready to establish their own MLM system that works just like yours..

To ensure your success in MLM, your job is to always have as many people as possible entering the large opening of your funnel. Thanks to the Internet, you can now automate this process. So, rather than calling and chasing down leads, an autoresponder system can send updates, share success stories, etc on a regular basis to nurture your prospects until those gems come out the other end of the funnel.

This stuff really works. It does take time, but the results are undeniable!

Best MLM Blog on the Planet
By Andie Petoskey

That's exactly what I asked... Are you sure? Are you talking about Andie Petoskey... me?

Yes, Ty Tribble, an Internet Guru and blogger, who has been featured in Entrepreneur and Success from Home Magazine, has created a new website... "The Best MLM Blogs On The Planet. Period." and guess who is featured? You guessed it! Yours truly!! What an honor!

Ty has been called the #1 blogger in the world on Network Marketing. Ty has also created MLM Web Secrets, a collection of 7 Internet Marketing Secrets that he has never shared. Learn more about Ty and his MLM Web Secrets (which you can get for FREE) at the link below.

So, after my inclusion in The Best MLM Blogs on the Planet, I decided to share some blogging tips that have helped me! Here we go...

1) Content is King - I know you have heard that before! A blog is a place for you to share your content, other people's content, and tons of valuable information. Post articles, videos, training information, and more! You have so much to share... and you don't even realize it! So, start sharing!

2) Consistency is Queen - Write, post, write, post, write, post, etc. Consistency is the key. Let me share a little secret... you will not get lots of traffic from one post. Set a goal for yourself for the next 30 days. Post content to your blog once a day for the next month. Can you do it? You will be amazed at the results!

3) Share Value - DO NOT Pitch Your Business. Provide value, make people laugh, share insights, stories, and experiences. Do this, and you will develop a following. Record training videos on different topics... Write reviews on different companies or products... Share a product that has been useful to you... Get my drift?

4) Promote Your Content - Write great content, recording awesome videos, creating product or company reviews are only as good as you promote them. If you don't promote your blog and posts, who is going to see it? Share your content on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and more. Join a Tribe and get your content syndicated. Use an Article Submitter and get your content to hundreds of sites. Last but not least... don't forget about that content you wrote 10 days ago! That was good stuff! "Tweet Your Old Post" with the Tweet Old Post plug-in!

5) Be Yourself and Have Fun - If you are not yourself, your readers are going to see right through you and not come back. If you do not have fun, you will write one post or article and then be done with it. This is your site... be creative, be consistent, and most of all, enjoy what you do!
Were these tips helpful? Can you apply them to your blog?

I would love to hear your comments! And, please share and tweet this post! Thank you!

To your success and transformation,

Andrea Petoskey

What is All This Attraction Marketing Stuff Anyway?
By Shane Greene-Butler

I'm going to give my honest opinion on attraction marketing, derived from my many years of experience in MLM and marketing. Attraction marketing to me is like the stone that helped David defeat Goliath. In it essence attraction marketing, is a tool for branding your self, helping you too conquer the internet, and make lots of money. Think about it like "You Incorporated", you are not selling a business opportunity or wonder vitamin, you are OFFERING your self as an authority in your field. Your knowledge and/or experience along with your perceived value are what's going to attract customers and associates to you. Not a great compensation plan, or replicated site with no originality to it. This makes the company you're associated with look good witch is great for them, but in my opinion short changes you.

If you put your name on a product, meaning it was your creation, who would buy it? That's the true measure of success in attraction marketing. In the beginning you build your brand, in the long run people will start to see you as the guru.

Attraction marketing when combined with a compelling story can create incredible results in MLM or any business, why? Because all businesses rely on a market and markets are people, to connect with people you must become their friend and really listen to them, let them know you understand their frustrations and that you found a way that works better, and make more sense. You can convey all these things with a good story.

A trap of MLM and entrepreneurship is feeling inadequate, and coming from the energy of neediness. How many people have you begged to see your plan, only for them to say it's not for me, or I'll think about it or just not show up, its because you gave off a needy vibe, and they sense it. Attraction marketing solves this problem. You can leave friends and family alone for good.

Posture, they say take time it develop, it does in general, but really it comes down to making a decision to see your self and business from another perspective. You have the answer for people; you really have something that is of value, and you're just sharing it with the world. Implementing a full blown attraction marketing campaign, which really allows you to offer value to you prospects, can be challenging with out guidance.

Attraction marketing means using the multitude of free marketing resources available to day on the internet to brand your self and having the financial freedom seekers out their chase you down, with credit cards in hand because you already gave so much value to them in their life and business.
