10 Reasons To Use The Leverage Of Internet



If you want to become rich, you need to work less and earn more. In order to do that, you employ some form of leverage” says Robert Kyiosaki’s rich dad. One form of leverage that MUST NOT be ignored in our time is the internet. Any home based business that wants, not only to survive but also prosper should engage the use of this tool.
 
It is barely five months since I employed this wonderful tool and I have gained a lot. Before then, I use to chase my friends and relations around to join my networking business. It got to a point where they were running away from me. Some were not responding to my calls or emails. I even got embarrassed and wanted to quit the home based business. Then, I searched the internet...

The word leverage, in a broad definition, simply means the ability to do more with less. In such a competitive world, one needs tools that will require little input but accomplish a lot.  The following are the reasons why I recommend Internet for your home business:

1. Access to a worldwide audience-More than 1.9 billion people use the internet (June 30, 2010. http://www.internetworldststats.com). Your business cannot afford to ignore such number of users!

2. Gain an edge over traditional business experts-Business is all about people and sales. A new business owner with little knowledge of what the business entails but has internet presence will sell more than the traditional guru, who knows it all but has access to fewer people.

3. Build a brand name-This leverage enables you to brand your name or business name. People get to know you and what your business offers. Trust is built and some of them eventually convert to customers.

Hi! I read a blog post that led me to an awesome report and I want to share it with you. If you have a blog or ever plan to have one you MUST read this report. I grabbed my own and I encourage you to do the same.  First read this post by Mavis Nong. Enjoy and act on it!

I have just finished reading The Perpetual Traffic Report by Ryan Deiss. If you really want to drive endless traffic at NO cost to your blog, then you have to grab this amazing report, whilst it’s still FREE!

It’s often said that Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the most complex marketing strategy to master. However this marketing strategy is now becoming easier, so you don’t have to pay professionals too much money to optimise your website(s).

When understood and done properly, SEO can get your site on the very 1st page of Google, when people search on your specific keywords and drive massive traffic into your business. Who wouldn’t want that?

Let me share with you the 3 primary steps to get your blog ranked higher on Google:
STEP 1: Create Quality Content
A blog without valuable content is useless. Your goal should be to create the best content consistently, so that your blog can stand out and start generating some traffic.
You also need to pay attention to the following factors in order to make Google happy and send you enough traffic:
  • Domain name – having the keywords that you want to rank for in your domain name is very powerful. Also, the age of the domain has some impact on Google, believe it or not – old domain will rank better than the new one.
  • Keyword research is an important process before you write your posts so that people can find your content as well as boosting your rankings.
  • Keyword density – pay attention to how often your keywords are used in your posts. Don’t overuse them! Read more...
