I’m back from my backpacking trip on the Superior Hiking Trail that went from Wednesday the 13th of August through Sunday the 17th. We went about 13 miles a day on our 3 full days we were out. It was very hot in northern Minnesota and the water levels were very low and we only had two water sources every day so it was a big challenge for me to finish this hike, but thankfully I was able (with the help of God) to dig deep within myself and finish the trip. It wasn’t the most enjoyable trip I have had, but it was one that I learned a lot about myself and it helped me rework my priorities in life.
With that said, I’m back to work now, and I’d like to share an idea on how to get more posts and incoming links for yourself by using ezinearticles.com. This is a very simple idea, but don’t take the easy route.
Here is what you should do. Take some of your blog posts or emails that you have sent out to your list adjust them a bit so that they are about 20% different simply using variances in terminology and phrases then post them with a link to whatever specific site you want to promote including a link with a keyword you want to focus on. This tip will help you get more search engine traffic as well as traffic from ezinearticles.com itself.
Thanks and I hope you all get to challenge yourself in one way or another this year. Growth only comes through difficulties. If you don’t have any difficulties in life you better pray you do get some because you’ll need ‘em in order to grow as an individual.
Enjoy!
Jason

It’s NOT About the Best Product….
It absolutely amazes me when people in competing home businesses say, “My _______ juice is better than your _______ juice.” This approach is weak and gets you no results. Who is going to win in a contest of comparisons?
The fact is that no one will win. Each will walk away hoping to never talk to that person again and feeling beaten down because of it or prideful because they feel that the “won”. But no one wins in that situation. You aren’t going to accomplish anything because at all value has been stripped away from the other person. So please don’t compare your product with others. This tactic simply does not work. It’s not about WHAT product is best at all.
It’s about who is best. That is who is best at building their own list of leads that they personally generated. Then its about who can stay in touch with that list and provide them valuable information so that they will come to YOU with their credit card in hand asking to join your business.
There are at least 3 reasons that generating a list of interested contacts is TANTAMOUNT to your success.
1. As your list grows so will your INCOME.
2. It changes your posture towards your prospects. You will be looking to qualify them for your time and not begging them to join your business.
3. If you have built enough value into your information when the automated system follows up with them they can’t wait to open up your email to find out more.
If you do one thing well this is the thing that you want to do well. Learn how to build a list by adding value to their lives, automate the follow up with valuable information given over time and create the posture with your prospects that brings results time and time again.
You’ll also need to know that adding value is not selling or pushing products on people. It’s about addressing irritations and frustrations that people already have and showing them how your company can fix those issues.
If you learn to do these things well then you have no problem building a highly profitable business.
