You may or may not have noticed that I have been AWOL from my blog for a while. No new updates and that stinks. That should be something that I get to at least three to four times a week if not more.

About five or six years ago while getting a physical exam I discovered that I have Type II Diabetes. Though not fatal I came to understand that it is a common problem as you get older with controling your weight. I did not think I was that heavy but my doctor did.

He wanted me to lose weight and exercise more. He put me on the South Beach Diet and in the first two weeks I lost 15-20 lbs. It was an awesome feeling and things were going good. Of course the doctor wanted me to lose more but I kept that off for three years.

Eventually it crept back on and tried different things but none were like the original diet. I was even put on insulin which was no fun either. Well, about five days ago I stated the diet, the original diet again. My insulin dosages have been out of whack but I think I have them under control again.

Why would I be telling you this you might ask? Well if you are trying to get into the Internet Marketing field, this could pertain to you.

When you first come into to this field you are new to it. It may be something you have heard about or you may actually know someone who is an Internet Marketer. You learn about it and decide it is something you want to do.

You start earning a few bucks and say, hey, this has some potential. So you get going and decide that you should try something else. It doesn’t work so well so you try something else. And the cycle continues. So eventually you come to a crossroads, you can continue trying new things or maybe you can just give up.

But wait a minute. Before you make any drastic decisions like that about your future, think back. What was it that got you started and was successful for you? And why did you get away from it?

You could probably check with a hundred or more successful people in the Internet Marketing field and I bet at least 95% would tell you to get good, really good at one thing before you move on to something else.

Yes, stick with something that works and if anything duplicate it. So, let’s say you put up a website and you work at it to be a very good money maker. Go ahead and make another, then another and another. Perfect your skills with one thing before you move on to something else.

Have I learned my lesson with my dieting and controling my weight. Probably not, I enjoy good normal food just a little to much. But I know what works and I will keep coming back to it. You don’t have to be like that with this business. It is easy to duplicate and once you have it down you will appreciate what you have done.

The other day I told you about the Chinese Herbal Medicine PLR Bundle that was being offered by Doug Champigny. I tried to convince you that this would be something that would be worth adding to your arsenal of prime PLR products.

Well it seems a few of you have listened and have picked up your copy of the product. Now I want to remind the rest of you that there will only be 100 PLR licenses sold for the product. Why is that important you might ask. After all most of the Internet Marketers try to use that as a scare tactic to sell their products.

You would be dead wrong to think like that with a PLR product from Doug. He does not have to use scare tactics to sell his products. You might have remembered his last PLR Bundle called Aromatherapy, which by the way is now gone.

The good thing about only 100 licenses of Chinese Herbal Medicine PLR Bundle being sold is that you will not be competing against all the other Internet Marketers when you set this up. This ensures the integrity of the product.

So you better head over and see if there are any copies of this PLR product remaining. If there are breathe a sigh of relief and click right HERE and grab your copy before it is gone. If you missed out, better luck next time. All I can say is I warned you. Good Luck.

I was having a conversation with my elementary school daughter the other day. We were discussing some of her Math homework and I was trying to explain a problem to her. Now I am no math whiz but I held my own in school with math and really enjoyed the subject.

I must preface this by saying that she is an exceptional student, and I am not saying that because I am her dad, and she takes after her mother. My daughter is in one of those accelerated programs in our school district for gifted kids and she performs quite well. Ah, I digress.

In trying to explain a simple problem to her she would just nod her head and say I know dad, I know. Don’t you just hate that from your kids, the little know it alls. Can you relate to that? Well, at that point there was no point in trying to explain anymore as she was not going to listen.

My point in all this is, are you like that? When you need to learn something new in your Internet Marketing business or any business and you have one of the leaders in that field or someone who may know a little more than you, do you listen to what they have to say?

If you have a knowledgeable person, do you read “Guru”, who is willing to share what they know, can you listen and apply what they tell you? There are some of these leaders who will tell you all you really want to know, who want to help you as much as you are willing to take it. It is up to you to put that extra effort into it to get out what you want.

There are a lot of Guru’s out there who are willing to take your money and won’t offer you anymore than the package you pay for. I know, I have dealt with some of them. But there are also those who will go out of there way to show you just about anything they can to help you make it in this business.

And those are the people you really need to pay attention to. Open up your ears, clear the room so you can listen without distractions and  take some notes. Do whatever it takes to listen and understand what they are trying to teach you.

Whatever you do don’t be like my daughter and think you are a know it all. It will take some time until she gets older but I will share one imprtant fact with her. You never stop learning and Knowledge IS Power.

I wrote a post the other day in which I told you how much fun writing articles can be. Okay, maybe not a whole lot of fun but it can lead to so much more.

When you find a topic or subject that you want to write about, the benefits can be long lasting. If you have a website that you want to get traffic to, this could be one of the first steps. Now granted this will not be a overnight thing but for the long term it will be something that will always be around and can get readers to your site.

And as you are having your article published, it will establish you as an authority figure. And as you get more articles out there people will recognize you and will want to read more of what you have to say.

If you look at some of the article directories like ezinearticles.com, articledashboard.com, goarticles.com or any of the numerous other directories, look at the articles that are posted there. Get a feel for the style of the writers. You will find one thing that is of great importance.

All of the articles contain lots of good quality information. Articles are meant to educate, to teach or to inform your reader about a given topic. Make them want to read the rest of your article. To find out more about the subject and about you. Make them want to go to your website to see more about you have to say.

A well written article can really be the first step to gaining more traffic to your website. Think about some of the things you have read. What was it about that article, story, book or magazine that just kept you glued and had to finish what you were reading. That is what you want your article to be like.

Oh yeah, by the way here is one of the article writing killers that you want to stay away from. Before you think of submitting your article to any directory or even being put on your website, be sure to proofread and check it for spelling. There is no bigger article killer than those two.

You can do it yourself or let a friend check it out before submission. Just to make sure it sounds and reads right. Maybe you might have misspelled a word or used the wrong grammar. Don’t worry it can happen to anyone. That could be bad for you article and website.

Now see after reading this doesn’t that make article writing sound like something that would be fun? It can be fun and quite rewarding for you. Just go at it with a positive attitude and think about the subject and who you are writing for. Make them want to read more.

And remember if this still does not sound like something you can get a handle on, I have the perfect fix for you. This is an ebook that can show the right way for article marketing. Written by Doug Champigny, “Understanding Article Marketing” can show how those articles will increase your website traffic and help you become an authority. Learn more about it HERE!

Article writing is quickly becoming the marketing method of choice for today’s online business owners. But it is not as hard as you might think. Writing is one of easiest, simplest ways to get new potential customers to visit your website. And it can be lots of fun.

It is a valuable way to get exposure for your website, increase the credibility of your website, bring traffic, and get more back links if you want great benefits that don’t cost anything.  Article writing is free advertising for you website.

Articles should be easy to digest and understand. They should be addressed to a large mass. Well written pieces are much more effective than an advertisement simply because they are actually giving value to the readers instead of trying to entice them to do business with you.

They provide hungry webmasters with information and they will help put a site high in the rankings of search results for keywords and keyword phrases that are contained in your articles.  Articles will provide an increase of confidence and trust levels of your visitors and help to establish you as an authority on the subject of your niche.

Content is in such demand that your article(s) is sure to be picked up by other sites in need of quality content.  The quality of an article does not depend on the length and size but the way content draws the readers interest. Content is king of the internet and that will never change.

Sites which refuse to write and publish content are “on their way out,” as one web designer and SEO expert has said.  The more unique web content you have, the more pages you have indexed in the search engines and the more visitors you’ll have coming to your web site.

Article Writing is like Instant Advertising for thousands of business opportunities and work at home jobs.  Writing is the most cost-effective way to drive tons of traffic to your web site.  It is really a very small task when it comes to marketing, but it is a very important one.

You can think of it as more than just the ability to write without making grammatical errors or misspelling a lot of words. I think it is a great way for webmasters to sell their thoughts and expertise for publication in many different internet arenas.  Article writing is the best way to spread the word about your site, and establish you as an authority on a certain subject, or within your industry.

With this article in mind, have you heard about the 100 Article 100 Day Marathon Challenge? A great way to get your writing skills going on a consistent basis. Articles are being posted at Ezine Articles and you can learn more at their site.

Also, if you want to learn how to increase your web site traffic, list-building results and online profits with Article Marketing, I have just the book for you. Doug Champigny has a great book for you to check out even if you have no internet marketing, niche marketing or affiliate marketing experience. The “Beginners’ Key To Understanding Article Marketing” will get you primed and ready to take on the 100 article challenge and boast up your online business and presence.

This is a must read for Internet Marketers. Get this amazing resource and you’ll quickly learn all the article marketing tips, tricks and techniques you need to know to begin earning more money than you ever thought possible on the Internet! Get it HERE.

For my last post, Some Basics For An Internet Marketing Newbie, I mentioned a few items that I thought were essential for a newbie wanting to start an internet business. I received quite a few comments that I had left out some other important items and needed to give some prices for the items I recommended.

One of the items I mentioned was a domain. This is needed as it is the name of your website. I have a couple of companies I use though there are quite a few others that are just as good. I use  Godaddy and Namecheap, namecheap.com. Both I have found to be reliable. As I say though just goggle domain companies and you will see a bunch. You can usually find domains ranging in price between $7-10.

For a hosting company I would recommend HostGator, that is who I use. They have a 99.9% Uptime Guarantee which is the amount of time they are usually up and running. This is very important because if your website is not up, you are not making any money. And after all you are in business for what?

Hostgator has few plans to choose from starting with the Hatchling plan that you can get started with for $4.95/mo. It would be a good starting plan for a newbie but I would suggest the Baby plan for 7.95/mo. The big difference is that the hatchling plan will only allow one domain but the Hatchling will allow unlimited domains. That way if you figure that you like this business you might want to set up more websites.

Most hosting companies are pretty similar with some offereing a few more thing than others. But the most important thing from any company is to make sure they have Cpanel. This will low you to work in your back office to work on your website.

Another must have item I did not mention was an autoresponder which I must admit is a very important part of your business. This will allow you the ability to stay in contact with your customers, better known as your list. The autoresponder will be your communication link to them to let them know what you are up to.

This will be how you can load up a bunch of messages to send out to the whole list at one time on specific days that you can decide on. You can send them your newsletter, let them know about upcoming events, the next product launch and you can go on and on.

Now two of the bigger names out there for this service are Get Response and Aweber. I use Aweber and have never had any problems with them. Now you could get 10 people and you might get half to say either one. You can look to spend between $18-25 with either company and by signing up for quarterly, half yearly and yearly plans the price will be a bit cheaper.

There are loads more little things I could throw in to tell you about. One thing though you will learn in this business is Analysis Paralysis which can stifle and sometimes kill a newbie. No need for brain overload when you are just starting out.

I will talk about other things from time to time. Just check back and see what our next topic will be. Internet Marketing has a world of opportunities available to you. Just get in and take a look, though I must warn you you might get hooked.

A few days ago I let you know about a great new eBook put out by Mike Paetzold called “Blogging For Seniors“. This explains the wonderful world of blogging and how open it is for seniors who I might add probably have a lot that they can share with us all.

I would say that a lot of seniors are blogging nowadays and even more will be joining the mix as they get more comfortable with using the computer. But this eBook will show them that there is the potential to make an income from their blogs.

Mike will take you by the hand and show you that  Blogging For Seniors offers a great opportunity to not only share some information but  to do it in a way that could be profitable to you. And with the economy the way it is every little bit that we can do for ourselves can be helpful. And on top of that it is a great read.

But my post today is to also tell you that even though Blogging For Seniors was written with seniors in mind it can be applied to anyone willing to follow Mike’s method for blogging. There are a lot of people who were either laid off or let go looking for an opportunity to make some extra money.

I will not be easy, there is some work involved, but you might find that you actually like blogging and it can give you a chance to follow through and do other things. Heck, you might see how this could actually supplement or replace your job.

I am not saying Blogging For Seniors will make you rich but it could lead you to actually seeing the potential to it leading to bigger and better things. And as inexpensive as Mike has made for you all it will be worth the read.

Some people at work know I dabble in the Internet Marketing field. I have been lucky enough to have made a little  money. Now, not enough that I could quit my J-O-B but enough to pay a few bills so I can dabble some more. But I see there is tremendous potential to make a lot more money on the internet so that is one of the reasons I stick with it.

But back to the people at work. Some of them are very curious about the internet. A lot still have fears but eventually curiosity will get the better of them and they will want to know more. So here are some basics for an Internet Marketing Newbie.

I tell them that it is a pretty good business to want to get in. It will require a bit of work but the payoffs can be pretty exciting. I know the first check I got as an affiliate marketer. I thought it was the best thing. And I was even fortunate to meet the marketer who’s product it was I sold and you better believe I was beaming with a smile.

So as they ask me what do they have to do to get started on the internet I give them a short list of things they will require:

1. A computer- yeah laugh it up. Kind of obvious. But you want a computer that will have a little power and speed. Above all I recommend  having Windows XP or later.

2. An internet connection preferably Broadband. This will be especially helpful for some of the programs you may have to download. It can be done with dial-up but boy you could be there a while.

3. An anti-virus program will be most helpful. There are a lot of free ones out the to choose from. I use AVG. They have a free and paid version and I have gotten by with the free one for a while.

4. A zip program will be important as you will get most of you products in the zip format. Winzip is a free option that I use.

5. Email will be very important as that will be a big way for you to communicate with people and them with you.

6. Productivity software – computer programs that help users complete task more efficiently. Microsoft Office comes to mind as one of the more familiar but Open Office does just as many things and it is free. Get it at OpenOffice.org.

7. A Paypal account would be recommended.

8. A credit card.

There are many other little things that you could get eventually but I think these are some of the essentials that will help you get started. Once you get an idea what the business is all about then you can decide if this is right for you and if you want to invest more. I will tell you that it is fun and exciting and something you ought to consider.

If you have ideas for other thing that could be added to this list feel free to leave a comment. As I said these are but a few of the requirements for getting started on the Internet.
