Well, I just finished reading Switch by Dan and Chip Heath, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Switch is an incredibly easy read that makes a lot of really insightful points about why the changes people make in their lives, companies or society are successful – or why they fail.
For many people, the movie “Avatar” has become an instant favorite – full of beautiful imagery and an engaging story. But what about some of the deeper, more subtle examples it provides?
One theme I noticed embedded in a specific scene illustrates how our focus can determine our results – both in real life and on Pandora.
An important part of becoming a Millionaire is recognizing the value of positive energy. Millionaires put positive energy out into the world, and welcome the same positive energy from others.
They do not, however, allow their positive energy to be tainted by the negativity of others.
They isolate themselves from it whenever possible.
This is mostly done by surrounding themselves with like minded, positive people. They avoid interaction with complainers, whiners and pretty much anyone with a “my life is so miserable,” mentality.
Energy is contagious, both positive and negative, and Millionaires naturally, and intelligently, remove themselves from situations where they will be surrounded by negativity in any form.
Incorporate this philosophy into your own life.
Testing and tracking are vital components of successful internet marketing.Think about how much time you spend writing content, posting ads, commenting on forum topics, and other forms of driving traffic. If you aren’t tracking your site’s traffic to see which methods are working and which aren’t, how will you ever know what you’re doing right and what needs improving?
How will you know which ads are making you money, and which ads are costing you money?
The simple answer is: You won’t.
We’ve reached a point where a lot of us live and work with multiple computers, and often times need to be able access the same files from all of those computers. This leads to endless piles of cd’s, pockets full of flash-drives and an ever growing list of email attachments we send ourselves to get a document from one location to another.
If only there was an easy way to synchronize files between multiple computers automatically…
Sometimes when working online you need to grab an image of something on your screen. It could be anything from a logo, to a screenshot or a short demo video for a team member. The problem is that grabbing that on-screen content isn’t always easy.
Let’s face it, taking a screen shot, copying it into an image editor, cropping and resizing the image, saving it, attaching it to an email… is just way too much work!
So, what’s the solution?
Video marketing is a phenomenal way to spread your message and network.
People love videos, search engines love videos, they are simply one of the best ways to drive traffic on today’s internet – if you know what you’re doing.
Putting your videos up on YouTube is a great start. It’s the most popular of the video sharing platforms and gets a lot of attention.
That doesn’t mean it is the only platform you want to use. There are literally dozens of other sites that you can use to share your content and increase the links and traffic to your site, but who has time to create accounts and submit the same content to dozens of sites at a time, over and over again?
You do….and we’ll explain how.
Communication is key.
Demonstration and collaboration are essential.
Sometimes it’s just easier to show someone what you mean instead of trying to explain it to them. Sometimes it’s more effective for you and the person you’re talking to to be looking at the same things at the same time. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy for someone across the country, or halfway around the world, to look over your shoulder when you want to show them something.
Dimdim can change all of that.
Many network marketers find themselves needing some basic HTML skills. While it’s true that not every marketer needs to be able to build a website from scratch, things like creating links with anchor text, or displaying images are useful skills. Learning how to write these, and other basic formatting codes, can help a lot when [...]
One of the most essential aspects of network marketing is building your brand. Your brand is your voice. It’s your image. Its what comes into people’s minds when they see or hear your name. Your brand is what your audience will rally behind and follow.
Social media is a key component to branding yourself online. Sites like Twitter and Facebook are where people will discover you, but once they’ve found you, it’s important that they can get to know you. It’s vital that you have more to offer than your status updates.
That’s where having a blog comes in. A professional looking blog sends a clear message to your network of friends and prospects that you know what you are doing, and lets them learn as much as possible about you and what you do. A good blog turns those friends and prospects into customers and fans.
Deciding how to go about setting up your first blog is no easy task. Should you use a free option, like Blogger, or WordPress.com? Or is it worth the investment to set up a self-hosted blog? The answer is yes, it is definitely worth it, and when it comes to self-hosted blogging platforms, WordPress is hands down the best option we’ve found.
