<p><strong>You MUST do TWO of the three options below:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> If you want someone to do SEO for you, go here now: <strong><a href="http://www.bobbyryanwebdesign.com/" target="_blank">Search Engine Optimization</a></strong></li>
<li>If you want to learn how to do it yourself, get the “<strong><a href="http://www.homesteadusers.com/websitesoptimizationvideos.html">SEO Extreme Video Series</a></strong>” designed for Intuit/Homestead website-users</li>

(It&#8217;s totally free.)</li>
</ul>
<p><span id="more-1239"></span></p>
<p>This is by far the best tip I&#8217;ve shared in a while. The future is here for your business to be found on the Internet. There is an urgency building around SEO and a race you need to win in order for your business to succeed online.</p>
<p>The yellow pages are dead and the Internet is the new standard that we are all using to locate local businesses.</p>
<p>Where is your listing landing on the first page of <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> when you do a search for your &#8220;BEST&#8221; business-related keyword phrase?</p>
<p>Is your business-listing even on the first page of Google, <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo</a> or <a href="http://www.bing.com/" target="_blank">Bing</a> re: your most important keyword phrase?</p>
<p>Have you even attempted to do anything to get there?</p>
<p>If you are not in the top three positions, you will never get there unless you DO something. This is not a roulette wheel where maybe you will show up at the top.</p>
<p>No, there is a definite method to getting your business to the top of the search-engine results pages (SERPS).</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the best tip I can give you guys: The longer you wait, the worse your chances of being at the top of the SERPS will get.</p>
<p>Everyone is talking about SEO. You really need to learn SEO and you need to do it now.</p>
<p>If you would rather not learn, then hire someone to do it for you. Just don&#8217;t put this on the back of the priorities list.</p>
<p><strong>You MUST do TWO of the three options below:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> If you want someone to do SEO for you, go here now: <strong><a href="http://www.bobbyryanwebdesign.com/" target="_blank">Search Engine Optimization</a></strong></li>
<li>If you want to learn how to do it yourself, get the “<strong><a href="http://www.homesteadusers.com/websitesoptimizationvideos.html">SEO Extreme Video Series</a></strong>” designed for Intuit/Homestead website-users</li>
<li>Get your listing in with <strong><a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=lbc&amp;passive=1209600&amp;continue=http://www.google.com/local/add/businessCenter?hl%3Den-US%26gl%3DUS&amp;followup=http://www.google.com/local/add/businessCenter?hl%3Den-US%26gl%3DUS&amp;hl=en-US" target="_blank">Google Local Business</a></strong>. (It&#8217;s totally free.)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what happens:</strong><br />
When someone works their way up to the top position in the search-engine results pages, it takes months to get them moved out of your way. For many of the things we do today, the results of our efforts will not be seen in the search engine results pages for six months. Sometimes it can take a year- depending upon the level of competition in your niche.</p>
<p>If you are not doing something now and your competition IS, you will LOSE. Not only will you lose out on ranking in the top of the Google, Yahoo and Bing search-results, but you will lose out on business.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s vitally important that your priorities are in order over this season that we are in with the infancy of the Internet. If you wait, your business website will be buried under your competitors’ websites..</p>
<p>Guys, business owners are finally catching on! Catch this wave now and you won&#8217;t be disappointed in a year or two from now.</p>
<p>If you have been wasting time focusing on social media and haven&#8217;t invested in SEO, I recommend strongly that you get your search engine ranking in place before playing around with social media sites.</p>
<p>Twitter or Facebook will not get you to the top of Google, Yahoo or Bing. Most &#8220;normal&#8221; people don&#8217;t search for businesses on Facebook or Twitter. They generally go to a search engine like Google, AOL, Yahoo or Bing.</p>
<p>This is the time to get your business within the top three positions on Google. I have three clients for whom I have landed them the number one position with Google, Yahoo and Bing. One owns a massage business, another operates a guitar lessons studio and the other client has a finish- carpentry business. All three of them are getting calls and business from the Internet on a daily basis.</p>
<p>If you are not paying attention to your business as it relates to SEO, you are missing out on profits. Get your priorities straight and do something now! There really is an urgency surrounding this issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em> I Cannot Believe I Am Sharing This Automatic Link Building Strategy </em></strong></p>
<p>This<strong> </strong>is very valuable information<strong><em> </em></strong>guys!<strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p>What I am about to reveal to you MUST not be abused. This link building strategy should only be used in moderation. There are certain sites that will give you what are called DOFOLLOW backlinks. The ones I am revealing not only are DOFOLLOW, but they are high page rank sites as well.</p>
<p>How can you tell if a page has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow" target="_blank">NOFOLLOW  links</a>?</p>
<p>You will need to be using Firefox and install this plugin, <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nodofollow/" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nodofollow/</a>, if you want to research what kind of backlinks websites offer.</p>
<p>When activated, the DOFOLLOW links are highlighted in purple and the NOFOLLOW ones will be pink.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Important:</strong> Be sure to refer to my notes below the video! That is where I have revealed the high page rank websites.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Use This 100% FREE Automatic Submission Service In The Video</strong></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="390" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/THbdl56paxs?fs=1&amp;;hl=en_US&amp;;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/THbdl56paxs?fs=1&amp;;hl=en_US&amp;;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<span id="more-1178"></span><br />
<strong>Follow The Instructions Below For Building Multiple Backlinks At One Time</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>You need to go to a website called <a href="http://onlywire.com/" target="_blank">Only Wire</a> and sign-up for a free account</li>
<li>In the tools area, install the Only Wire submitter to your computer. You should have a lightning bolt installed on your desktop&#8217;s lower right menu when the install is complete. If it&#8217;s not there, find the submitter in your computer programs and activate it.</li>
<li>Click on the &#8220;Services&#8221; icon on the Only Wire website</li>
<li>Register with the following sites, Bebo, Connotea, Bibsonomy, Diigo, Folkd, Jumptags, Reddit, Linkagogo, Yahoo Bookmarks and Google. Your registration name should be related to the niche you will be building links to. <strong>Example:</strong> My niche is <a href="http://fixmycabinet.com/category/cabinet-making/" target="_blank">cabinet making</a>. My registration name for all of these sites is &#8220;CabinetDesign.&#8221;</li>
<li>After registering with these sites, enter the required login info on the Only Wire &#8220;Services&#8221; page</li>
<li>Click on &#8220;Post&#8221; in the menu bar</li>
<li>Fill in the required information to build your backlinks with</li>
<li>Only select three of the DOFOLLOW sites you registered with</li>
<li>If you are using a phrase in the tag area, place it in quotes</li>
<li>Click submit and then OK</li>
<li>There will be a lightning bolt installed on your desktop lower menu bar, right click it</li>
<li>Select the option that says: &#8220;check for work.&#8221;</li>
<li>You may be prompted to fill in a captcha or two</li>
<li>Click on the &#8220;History&#8221; icon</li>
<li>It will display success or failure</li>
<li>If the post failed, double check the login info you entered in the &#8220;Services&#8221; area</li>
<li>Sometimes posts fail on one day, but will post if you &#8220;Resend&#8221; them the following day</li>
</ol>
<p>This link building technique cannot be abused. You will get Google slapped if you build too many links too fast.</p>
<p>Alternate the websites that you submit to every time you add a new backlink.</p>
<p>This is a great FREE automatic submitter that works wonders once you get everything set up correctly. It may take a little work to iron things out. Once you are rolling, you will be amazed at how quickly you can post linked keyword phrases on other websites.</p>
<p>It only takes about five minutes to generate several backlinks from high page rank  sites when using this automatic backlink building tool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1161" href="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/do-youtube-promoted-videos-convert/youtube-where-promopted-videos-display/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1161 alignleft" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 5px 10px;" title="Youtube Where Promopted Videos Display" src="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Youtube-Where-Promopted-Videos-Display.jpg" alt="Where Promopted Videos Display On Youtube" width="272" height="250" /></a>I recently developed a new product. I noticed that Youtube started an advertising program called Promoted Videos. This is a feature that actually interconnects with Google Adwords. I decided to give it a try just to see how well the promoted videos would drive traffic to my website with the product on it. These advertising clips are placed exclusively on Youtube. They do not show anywhere else on the web.</p>
<p>Prior to running the advertisements on Youtube, five percent of the people who have opted-into my email list have purchased a product. The optin rate for my free mini-course runs about two percent compared to the amount of traffic I receive. So, I generally get ninety visits per day. Over a ten day period, I get about twenty optins. This generally works out to about three sales per month. That&#8217;s pretty good considering the average sale is around forty dollars ($40). All of these percentages are based on SEO traffic from Google, Youtube, Bing, Yahoo and article marketing.</p>
<p>If you are interested in developing your own product to sell on the Internet, go here now: <strong><a href="https://imi.infusionsoft.com/go/3/a35922" target="_blank">Learn Niche Product Development</a></strong></p>
<p>The honest truth about my experience so far with the Youtube promoted videos is that the optin rate has not increased and neither have my conversions. I have seen a small increase in visitors coming to my site.<br />
<strong><span id="more-1160"></span></strong><br />
<a rel="attachment wp-att-1168" href="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/do-youtube-promoted-videos-convert/youtube-promoted-videos-statistics/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1168" title="Youtube Promoted Videos Statistics" src="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Youtube-Promoted-Videos-Statistics.jpg" alt="Youtube Promoted Videos Statistics" width="606" height="103" /></a></p>
<p>Looking at my statistics so far (see image above), the cost per click (CPC) is very low. An average CPC for this niche on the Adwords network is about thirty cents per click. What really concerns me is that I am not seeing an increase in traffic, optins or conversions. Now there have been many thousands of impressions. I&#8217;ve also had four hundred and fifty (450) clicks on the Youtube promoted video.</p>
<p><strong>So how should I look at this?</strong></p>
<p>Well there are two ways and my goals define whether or not I should continue using <strong>Youtube promoted videos</strong> or not.</p>
<p>If I am simply seeking to get exposure for my website through advertising, then this seems to be a reasonably priced way to get my website in front of a lot of niche targeted people. I mean, it only cost twenty seven ($27) dollars to have four hundred and fifty people view information about my product and website location.</p>
<p>If my goal is mostly based on making product sales conversions, perhaps I haven&#8217;t tested this long enough. I mean, through SEO I make three sales (totaling $120) per every twenty seven hundred visitors (2700). What happens when I do the math?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already spent twenty seven dollars ($27) on Youtube promoted videos to get four hundred and fifty clicks with very few people actually coming to my website. If I hold out to the point of getting 2700 Promoted Video clicks, it will cost me one hundred and sixty two dollars ($162). It seems like I&#8217;m wasting my money if I am seeking to get conversions, when the clicks on the videos are not bringing people to my website.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d say that Youtube Promoted videos are definitely working to get my website name and product in front of people. For actual conversions, this short-term experiment is bombing out. It makes sense though, most of the people on Youtube are there to watch videos-not go clicking off to some other website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was only about six months ago when I was listening to <strong>Dani Johnson (<a href="http://www.danijohnson.com/2011/dani-johnson-on-the-view/">The Secret Millionaire</a></strong>).</p>
<p>She was talking about the importance of time management, focus and putting aside distractions.</p>
<p>Something happened that night that is hard for me to explain. Let&#8217;s just say, I experienced the supernatural power of God. It was a two second moment when Dani said: &#8220;<strong>FOCUS!</strong>&#8221; I instantly knew that God had done something special at that moment.</p>
<p><strong>Video of Dani Johnson on the Secret Millionaire show</strong></p>
<p>
<object width="5900" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yFcsfsP87aU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yFcsfsP87aU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="590" height="360"></embed></object>
</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-1154"></span></strong><br />
The following day and for the past six months, I have had an unbelievable ability to stay focused on the goals I&#8217;ve placed before me. Not only that, but I have also had a clearer understanding of what those goals are in relation to what my gifts and talents are in life.</p>
<p>Since that night, I have looked at my life in an honest way and dropped many unproductive things that I was doing. I&#8217;ve gained more time to focus on my goals and more time to spend with my family. I have also had a significant increase in Internet earnings; many revenue streams have just about doubled in size.</p>
<p><strong>How are you doing with staying focused?</strong></p>
<p>We are living in an age where everything is grabbing at us trying to steal our attention. Text messaging, five hundred options for TV channels, the Internet on our cell phones and thousands of digital gadgets.</p>
<p>We have Ipods and Ipads to listen to and look at. The Kindle reader, laptops and wi-fi in every Starbucks, McDonalds or Pinera Bread Company in the United States.</p>
<p>People are so addicted to distractions that they walk around with a Blue Tooth in their ear all day long. We have come to rely on unreliable GPS systems that send us on long lost excursions into the pits of nowhere.</p>
<p>Yes, we are confronted with one distraction after another. Oh yes, how could I have forgotten video games. Gamers are staying up all night long and playing World of Warcraft for days on end waisting valuable time.</p>
<p>Not long ago, I sent out an email notification through <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?305163"><strong>Aweber</strong></a> about how my Adsense earnings have increased. The upward swing in all of the revenue streams I have online have been a direct result of getting more focused.</p>
<p>I have nearly doubled the amount of money I was making six months ago just by staying focused on my goals.</p>
<p>Thanks Dani Johnson for offering the free conference call that radically changed my life.</p>
<p><strong>Here are a few of the goals I set and how I achieve them.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Write three articles per day and publish them to the Internet</li>
<li>Develop a monthly spread sheet with article titles and keyword phrases to target</li>
<li>Keyword research so that I am hitting specific targets rather than shooting wildly online</li>
<li>Build a few backlinks every day</li>
<li>Study the results I am getting with certain website pages and tweak them to perform better</li>
<li>Experiment with new ideas and monitor the results.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://imi.infusionsoft.com/go/3/a35922" target="_blank">Learn from places like Niche Profit Classroom</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.aweber.com/?305163" target="_blank">Add more emails to my Aweber auto responder</a></strong></li>
<li>Turn off cell phones</li>
<li>Refuse to check my email or income stats</li>
<li>Monetize web pages</li>
<li>Send out discount offers, on many products I&#8217;ve developed, through email blasts</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>What are you are doing on a daily basis to increase the amount of traffic you are getting to your website?</strong></em></p>
<p>How are you increasing your profit potential daily?</p>
<p>Have you set goals for publishing content online?</p>
<p>Do you have an action plan for succeeding online?</p>
<p>What did you do with the time you had today?</p>
<p>If you are looking for a great mentor and coach, I recommend that you hook up with <strong><a href="http://www.danijohnson.com " target="_blank">Dani Johnson</a></strong>. She has participated on the Secret Millionaire show and has helped tens of thousands of people all over the world get their lives in better shape. Also, God is flowing through her in special ways. Like I said since that night when Dani said; &#8220;FOCUS&#8221; my life has radically changed for the good.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who&#8217;s your mentor? Perhaps you have several people that you are learning from on the Internet. In this article, I will share a few of the highest-quality places I&#8217;ve found to learn about web design and marketing online. In my opinion, these are the best of the best in the Internet world.<br />
<strong><span id="more-1124"></span></strong><br />
<strong>1) <a href="http://videos.webpronews.com/" target="_blank">Web Pro News</a></strong></p>
<p>Periodically I will visit this website and surf through a few videos. This company delivers the best information on the hottest trends in the online world from high-level &#8220;niche&#8221; authorities.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a quick look at what I pulled from a recent video called “What Not To Do With Landing Pages”:</p>
<ul>
<li>Too much clutter can be disastrous. Keep your pages simple and easy to sift through.</li>
<li>Limit the amount of choices offered to your visitors when they land on a page.</li>
<li>Give searchers exactly what they are looking for without them having to dig for it.</li>
<li>Limit the amount of text on the page. Use good headlines, bullet points and get right to the point.</li>
<li>Stay away from too many flash slides, flickering things or any animation.</li>
<li>Keep your forms short. Do not ask for too much information.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM9K62PkxQU" target="_blank">Matt Cuts on YouTube</a></strong></p>
<p>These are very informative videos for learning about what Google is looking for in a website. Matt works for Google. He is in charge of the web-spam team. He is also the &#8220;limelight&#8221; face of the company on the Internet.</p>
<p>The thing I love about learning from him is that his explanations of how things work from a search engines perspective are easily understood. You will find that his videos range from helping the beginning blogger to the most advanced “html”, “CSS” or “PHP”- code experts.</p>
<p><strong>3) Lisa with “2Create A Website”</strong>:</p>
<p>Do you love learning from real people? This Internet marketer is my favorite to learn from. Although I&#8217;ve never met her in person, I feel as though I&#8217;ve developed a rapport with her that is seldom experienced online.</p>
<p><strong>She Manages Several Websites:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>http://2createawebsite.com &#8211; Learn thousands of things about<a href="http://2createawebsite.com" target="_blank"> <strong>building websites</strong></a>.</li>
<li>http://websitebabble.com -This is a community <strong><a href="http://websitebabble.com">forum about Internet marketing</a></strong>.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/lisa3876">http://www.youtube.com/user/lisa3876</a></strong> – Lisa, to date, has had over five million views on her YouTube tutorials.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>4) <a href="https://imi.infusionsoft.com/go/3/a35922" target="_blank">Niche Profit Classroom (NPC)</a></strong></p>
<p>This is the only membership site I&#8217;ve ever decided to continue with on a monthly payment plan. The name suggests that this community is all about creating and selling “niche” products. That is only the tip of the iceberg. They offer a fourteen day trial for one dollar in which you can really see what they have to offer.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://imi.infusionsoft.com/go/3/a35922">5) Inside NPC-What You Will Find:</a></strong></p>
<p>They have over 500 video tutorials about building websites, creating niche sites, building email lists, SEO, website design, copy writing, working with WordPress, building backlinks, using Gimp for editing photos and much more. These guys will teach you everything about the Internet marketing world. In my opinion, this is the most professional location online for learning how to succeed on the Internet. These guys are truly the best of the best on the Internet.</p>

<p><strong>Who can we trust?</strong></p>

<p>Well, I&#8217;ve personally been using the <strong><a href="https://imi.infusionsoft.com/go/3/a35922" target="_&quot;blank&quot;">Niche Profit Classroom (NPC)</a></strong> for several months now and can tell you that these guys have literally made a ton of money online.<br />
<strong><span id="more-1027"></span></strong><br />

<p>I personally started using their techniques and made money within a week, good money too.</p>
<p>You see, I&#8217;ve been involved with Internet marketing for several years now and have been studying many various methods of generating passive income online.</p>
<p><strong>This system works&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Keep reading because I reveal how fast I started making good money by just &#8220;using&#8217; their suggestions.<br />
<strong><br />
Here&#8217;s the problem!</strong></p>
<p>The only limit to making income on the Internet is the one we place on ourselves. Most people fizzle out too fast.</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230;I don&#8217;t generally fall for anything that is not a free trial or costs less than ten dollars to try it out for a while.</p>
<p><strong>The <a href="https://imi.infusionsoft.com/go/3/a35922" target="_&quot;blank&quot;">NPC</a> site has taught me exactly how to make money in niche marketing.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
Here&#8217;s my testimony!</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;After two weeks of rigorously studying their materials (for just $1), I decided to develop an audio series about something that I know a lot about.</p>
<p>Using many of the techniques and &#8220;tools&#8221; I had learned about in the Niche Profit Classroom, I jumped in with both feet.</p>
<p>It took me about forty hours to get everything in place. Within two days of publishing my niche on the Internet, I made my first sale.</p>
<p>Now, get this. Eight people signed up for my free audio series and one bought the product at the cost of $47.97. Not bad ha?&#8221;</p>
<p>Anyway, something this good needs to be shared with all of my Intuit/Homestead Sitebuilder user friends. Most everything that they are teaching at NPC can be implemented with an Intuit website.</p>
<p>Did I mention that they have over four hundred videos? These guys have literally lived in the very heart of making money on the Internet and now you can learn from them for only one dollar&#8230;$1</p>
<p>Come one! <strong><font color:"black" size:"6"><a href="https://imi.infusionsoft.com/go/3/a35922" target="_&quot;blank&quot;">CLICK HERE NOW</a></strong></font> and get top notch training from the best online for just a $1.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_865" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 262px"><img class="size-full wp-image-865 " style="margin: 5px;" title="Funny Baby Image" src="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/stop-whining.jpg" alt="Image from http://jokes4today.blog.dada.net" width="252" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image from http://jokes4today.blog.dada.net</p></div>
<p>Recently I watched an excellent video about <a href="http://blog.2createawebsite.com/2010/02/08/case-study-5700-hits-in-first-full-month/" target="_blank"><strong>what can be accomplished within a month of starting a new blog</strong> </a>when hard work and a business mindset unite. We can learn very important guidelines for starting a successful blog from this video review about the  <strong><a href="http://plantingdollars.com" target="_blank">Planting Dollars</a></strong> site.  It was developed by Lisa on her “2 Create A Website” blog.</p>
<p>The inspiration for the title of THIS post, (<strong>“Stop Whining; Start Working on Your Website!”</strong>) was realized about twelve minutes into the video. As I listened to Lisa talking about how success is the direct result of working a plan, I recalled when the light was turned on for me.<span id="more-861"></span> The turning point of my Internet success came when I made a commitment to post one article per day on a blog that I manage. Because I did not get discouraged and continued to work towards my goal, my blog now has over eight hundred visitors per day after only one year.</p>
<p>Much of my determination to <strong>NOT GIVE UP</strong> was due to one person who posted a comment in the <strong><a href="http://websitebabble.com" target="_blank">Website Babble</a></strong> forum in response to my whining about how slow things were going with making money on the Internet.<br />
<strong><br />
They simply said: “Hang in there, it&#8217;s definitely worth the wait.” I am in total agreement with that statement now. </strong></p>
<p>Since then my online income has steadily increased, but the upward change in revenue came as a direct result of being persistent in steadily working on improving my sites.</p>
<p><strong>As I have mentioned in prior posts, we must treat our website business like a regular job and not as a hobby. </strong></p>
<p>When we look at where we have come from and set short obtainable goals for where we want to get to eventually, our accomplishments reach great heights. Rome was not built in a day. In this video-blog- post called <strong>“<a href="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/get-treadmill-getting-off-first/" target="_blank">Get on the Treadmill With me and You&#8217;re Getting Off First</a>”</strong>- Will Smith tells a story about how a wall is built by laying one brick at a time into perfect position.<br />
<strong><br />
I can assure you that if you will be persistent, stop whining and start working on improving your website- building skills and online business growth, passive income will be the result of your efforts.</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s the beauty of making money on the Internet. Once we learn how to automate our systems and duplicate the things that are working, we will enjoy recurring fruit from our labor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What arrangement really works best on your <a href="http://homstead.com" target="_blank">Intuit/Homestead website</a> for making the most sales, do you know? Testing pages in order to narrow down the focus is very important. I recently increased sales of some of my products tremendously by just removing a few things on the page. The items that I took off of the page were designed to collect email addresses. They worked very well for that purpose, but the sales volume of the products<span id="more-845"></span> on the page went down when I added the <a href="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/ways-increase-visitors-get-more-traffic/" target="_blank">free eBooks</a>.</p>
<p>If you are anything like me, whenever I download an e-book I go to my  inbox immediately to look at it.  I&#8217;m certain that this was such a distraction from my products that people never returned to the page. The download included two free books. That was a lot of information for people to sift through.</p>
<p>While testing the web site&#8217;s sales page, the day I took the email optin and the books off of the page, I had three sales. That was a real eye opener because up until then I had only made two sales in about two weeks while the free downloads were on the page.</p>
<p>On another product&#8217;s page, I simply moved the submit button and price for purchasing the item from the top of the page to the bottom and the sales increased. I always try <a href="http://homesteadwebistebuilder.com" target="_blank">designing Intuit website pages </a>so that they can be easily changed.</p>
<p>Continually testing and monitoring results is vitally important to the success of making money on the Internet. Many big name Internet marketers agree that the more focused a page can be for one item the better. If your goal is to <a href="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/sending-email-with-the-aweber-automated-system/">collect an email address</a> then every thing should squeeze the person to submit their email address when they land on the page. If the goal of the sales page is to sell a product, the product should be the main attraction of the page. It&#8217;s important to keep the main thing the main thing.</p>
<p>Intuit websites work really well for designing sales pages and then making changes to them as you are testing. Because the Homestead Sitebuilder program is so easy to use,  it doesn&#8217;t take a lot of effort to move things around periodically to see what works the best.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several ways of marketing your <a href="http://www.intuit.com/website-building-software/" target="_blank">Intuit website by Homestead</a>. Much of your strategy will depend upon your niche and what your goals are. The tips I give you in this article will get you going in the right direction. I will be discussing a couple of advertising platforms that you can pay for and also some free ways of marketing your niche site.<span id="more-837"></span></p>
<p><strong>Google Adwords </strong><br />
This program is free to join and will not cost you anything until your advertisements are clicked on. The way this marketing program works is that you use your credit card to put money into your account. The next step is to create your advertisements. This is a great way to get your website a lot of traffic fast and it can also cost a bundle if you don&#8217;t know what you are doing. There are places to <a href="http://8c2135tmnjb2e6a61t290u8v7f.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><strong>learn correct ways of marketing</strong></a> where you won&#8217;t be wasting your money. The <a href="http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=6084" target="_blank">Adwords</a> set-up is a wonderful way to market your Intuit website. Just make sure you get a good education about PPC before you start using the system.</p>
<p><strong>Using Ezine Articles</strong><br />
This form of promoting your niche site is called article marketing. Create an account with article directories like <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/" target="_blank">Ezine Articles</a>, Go Articles or Article Cube. Write keyword focused content and add an anchor text link in the author bio section at the bottom of the page directing people to your Intuit website page.</p>
<p><strong>Youtube</strong><br />
Download a screen recorder or get a  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023B14TK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=praforyou00-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0023B14TK"><strong>Flip UltraHD Camcorder</strong> </a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=praforyou00-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0023B14TK" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />that shoots videos which can be uploaded to Youtube fast and easily. The Flip recorder is simple to use and creates outstanding videos.</p>
<p>Include information about your <a href="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/youtube_promotion_marketin/" target="_blank">Intuit website in your Youtube videos</a> and also a link in the the “more info” section of the video description box. Youtube is a very popular way to get your name on the Internet fast. The great thing about videos is if you choose good keyword phrases in your titles the videos show up on the first page of Google often. This type of website promotion will establish you as an authority in your niche quickly.</p>
<p>Those are three of the quickest and easiest ways for marketing and promoting your Intuit website. The <strong><a href="http://homesteadusers.com/websitesoptimizationvideos.html" target="_blank">Homestead SEO Videos</a></strong>, from the Homestead Users site will teach you how to get free traffic through the search engines. This is by far one of the best methods of generating lasting traffic for free and promoting your site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Click here for a <span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><strong><a href="http://homesteadusers.com/websitereview.html" target="_blank">free trial and Homestead  Sitebuilder review</a></strong></span>.</p>
<p>When I started getting serious about Internet marketing, I posted a no-cost download on one of  the pages of my <strong><a href="http://www.homesteadusers.com" target="_blank">Homestead Users website</a></strong>. The idea behind this method of making more money online is that once you collect an email address, in exchange for the free product, you can then market to the customer as often as you like. The Sitebuilder has an newsletter feature that you can start collecting email addresses with.<span id="more-826"></span></p>
<p>By<strong> <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?305163" target="_blank">joining Aweber</a></strong> I was able to set up an email auto responder that automatically sends the free downlaod to the opt-in subscriber. It is a wonderful way to establish relationships and credibility with your potential customers. As long as you don&#8217;t bombard the people who opted in on your Homestead website email list with junk mail, they generally won&#8217;t unsubscribe.</p>
<p>The most popular free download that people use is an eBook. I suggest that you make your own by following our tutorial on <strong><a href="http://homesteadwebsitebuilder.com/how-to-make-a-pdf-format-ebook-using-open-office/" target="_blank">How to Make a PDF eBook Using Open Office</a></strong>.  Inside of your book you can create clickable links that will send your potential customers to your website&#8217;s product page or affiliate links.</p>
<p>One thing that I learned recently is that you should have one goal when people land on your pages. If you mix up a free download with products that you are trying to sell, oftentimes the visitor will click- off of your <a href="http://homestead.com" target="_blank">Intuit/Homestead website</a> to go and get the free download from their in-box. If you want your visitors to buy something, then focus on selling your products. If you are trying to collect an email address, then set up a free download and email address collection system.</p>
<p>Some Internet marketers use free trials or products to lure customers in, then they put the subscriber on a membership recurring-payment plan. This is a tactic that Russel Bronson is using right now in a program called Micro Continuity. The visitor to the website sees something for free and finds out that there is a shipping and handling charge associated with getting the offer. Once the credit card information is taken, the free product is delivered and the customer is then placed on a recurring billing cycle to either receive more products or have access to a member&#8217;s area.</p>
<p>There is great power in using the word “free” on your Intuit/Homestead website. For example, you will find on this <strong><a href="http://homesteadusers.com/websitereview.html" target="_blank">Homestead website builder review</a></strong> page that the “free trial text” and the “red arrow” are a good working combination for moving the customers in the proper direction. Everyone likes to get something for nothing, especially if it is something of value. Being able to try something out first before having to pay for it is a great way to sell something.</p>
<p>So, consider giving away something in exchange for an email address or set a customer up on a membership billing cycle after they get their first month for free. You can offer a free trial and then have them automatically billed through your Paypal account.</p>
