"Facebook Information Overload Protection"
With so much social media and Facebook information available these days it's quite normal to suffer from information overload. If you're on the internet, there is no protection or escape.
Everyone seems to be offering teleseminars, visdeos, free reports and Mini-Courses. My hard drive is full of Facebook things I never even find the time to look at. Its hard to stay up to date but it's even harder not to get distracted and start following the latest trend or new Social Media Strategy.
I believe that the most valuable information you can have is to know what to pay attention to and what to avoid. I see so many people trying to do everything and all they end up with is a mess. Instead they would be much better off focusing on 2 or 3 strategies and implementing them well, instead of spreading themselves too thin and ending up feeling overwhelmed.
Did you know that 95% of people who are using Facebook for Business really haven't got clue.
Did you know...?
That small businesses and single entrepreneurs are now set to dominate future markets because they are using Facebook and Social Media in ways that are impossible for large corporations to replicate.
Yet, I still see people following strategies that Facebook Gurus recommended six months ago that makes well meaning professional people appear like spammers.
Since Facebook changed to the new look platform it's become a whole new ballgame.
I bet you would be horrified if you discovered that the things you are doing that are actually damaging your credibility rather than improving it.
Your 'Facebook Information Overload Protection'GuideToday, I'm sharing with you a resource that will definitively remove Facebook information overload for entrepreneurs so you can exponentially grow your business.
The The Facebook Stratgies Guide has been a collaborative effort and represents the distilled wisdom of a multitude of experts in Social Media. Many who actually paid the price for this knowledge by having their accounts disabled.
A lot of time and energy went into researching and testing everything that went into this book.
Not everyone has the time to spend 8 hours a day on Facebook, and quite frankly for most people this isn't necessary. But what has been gained from the hours the Author put in is a deep understanding of how Facebook works and how to get the most out of it for the minimum effort.
I want you to actually read and apply what is shared in the Facebook Strategies Guide. I don't want it sitting gathering dust on your hard drive. Please don't waste your money if you are not prepared to put in a little bit of time and effort to educate yourself.
If you are serious about taking your social networking to the next level then let the Facebook Strategies Guide be one of the 2 or 3 strategies you decide to focus on and implement.
As an added bonus, the Author is also giving free updates for life. That way when circumstances change, which they almost certainly will, you will be the first one to know.
If you really want some
Facebook Information Overload Protection, here's a good place to start!

10 Top Blogging Traffic Tips
First, I want to share with you an article written by Yaro Starak who gives his "10 Top Blogging Traffic Tips."
Article By: Yaro Starak
In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else's blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that's about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.
Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.
It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.
Top 10 Blogging Traffic Tips
10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn't news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.
9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.
You don't have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.
8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that's the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you've done a good job!).
7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people's blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.
Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.
6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger's article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it's sort of like your blog telling someone else's blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.
This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.
5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.
4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.
To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.
3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it's so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it's worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!
2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn't bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it's worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.
How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.
1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I've listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won't stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.
I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I've put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it's certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.

People Search Engine: Service-Affiliate Review
Purpose of Review Background
Most recently, many of the advertising sites are displaying massive amount of ads for Free People Search Engine.
In addition, the affiliate program associated with People Search Engine is making a guarantee that newly enrolled affiliates will receive at least a $125 commission within 24 hours of the affiliate’s site being advertised.
Initially, my thought - here we go again, another hyped up ‘next big thing’ or scam taking the internet by storm. Let’s face it, while $125 doesn’t seem like a lot of money to many, there are a lot of folks out there hurting financially. They would jump at the chance to get $125 in 24 hours.
My curiosity got the best of me. I decided to see if there was any validity to these claims...scam or not scam – next big thing or not, thus resulting in this review.
Search Engine Service Delivery
Acme People Search Engine, a company located out of Washington, DC, offers a search engine that has the ability to fetch a variety of instant information about people. The major types of searches listed on the site are:
Search by Phone - Reverse Phone Lookup
Provides owner name for cell phone and unlisted numbers. Results include name, address, carrier and other information if available.
Search by Social Security Number (SSN)
Offers a fast and discreet way to conduct social security searches. Result findings can be current address, phone number, address history, criminal record, death index, property ownership and list of relatives with addresses.
Background Check Reports
Upon completing a form and receipt of payment, access to a member site is granted. The member site is like a one stop shop for all info needed to conduct investigatory activities. The terms of service are explicit about how this information is NOT to be used. Anyone ordering these type of reports should take time to read the terms.
Find Email Addresses
This service is one of the world’s largest email finder directories available to the public to reconnect you with old friends, classmates, and lost contacts.
Information Providers
The information providers behind the search engines are highly reputable companies, who fully disclose themselves. There is no cloaking by these businesses to prevent you from knowing source of information.
Having reviewed many sites and blogs, I have to admit these are some very plain- looking sites. I guess the intent is not to 'razzle and dazzle' you into making a decision to purchase anything. If you are coming there to get information, they make it very easy to do that. There is absolutely no clutter on these sites. Plug your information in. Get your information out – plain and simple.
Example of Free People Search Engine Website
Free People Search Engine Affiliate Program
Next, I wanted to learn more about the Free People Search Engine Affiliate program. I was anxious to know if they honor their guarantee of at least $125 within 24 hours. This I really had to see!
One the first things their advertisement emphasized in large black letters is “PEOPLE SEARCH” IS HUGE! Fact: 30% of all Searches on Google and Yahoo are People Search Related and Growing!
Where exactly did Acme get this FACT?
Well, right HERE! Webpronews.com article 'People Searches Surge Ahead' does substantiate this claim.
Now on to the good part - Getting My Hands On This $125 Moolah Within 24 Hours.
On June 11, I signed up for People Search Engine affiliate program. There was no cost to become enrolled. There is a 3 Step Process you complete that determines the commission percentage.
Step 1 – 35%
Step 2 – 65%
Step 3 – 100%
In order to be eligible for the $125 commission, ALL 3 steps must be completed. This took me about a day because I was being so detail-oriented. Plus you had to set up a website and choose a domain name. Still, no out of pocket money so far.
On June 12, all my steps were confirmed as having been completed. Advertising of my search engine began with no cost to me. This confirmation was received at 11:22 am.
June 13 at 12:05, I received an email 'Commission Notification' in the subject line – email 'you’ve just earned the following commission from your niche search engine $125.'
I logged into the back office to verify the commission had been posted to my account. Yes, indeed, it was posted! So there you have it, the guarantee of $125 was honored and in my affiliate account.
Now here’s the downside to the guarantee, you must have a balance of at least $200 before you can request payment. So do not make the mistake of thinking the funds are going to be wired or available to you in 24 hours. Do not make immediate spending plans for that money. That is NOT how it works!
Yet, this is the first guaranteed commission offering I’ve seen of this type associated with an online affiliate program. (There may be others out there, I'm just not aware of them).
In spite of having to wait a couple of weeks to be paid. It serves as an excellent incentive for affiliates to learn and implement marketing strategies, themselves to get the remaining $75 needed for payout.
This program actually has a minimum of five other ways to earn residual income, virtually on autopilot. One is GDI, who provides website registration and hosting.
The other four are actually built into the system, you don’t do anything additional to earn it. When people conduct searches you are paid through these other avenues.
Another impressive area with the affiliate program is follow-up, initial and ongoing training. There is a system in place with videos included, to walk you right through every step necessary to get you up and running as quickly as you can complete the steps.
In my opinion, The People Search Engine is far from being a scam and does offer a legitimate way to start an online business with no out of pocket money.
I would caution one, not to look at this program from a point of getting a quick $125 or the $200, whatever and then take off. If getting the $125 is your sole incentive for becoming an affiliate, I would pass this opportunity up.
The potential to make a solid income from multiple income streams is excellent and many are making substantial incomes on a weekly basis.
The successful up-line members are serving as REAL support trainers and “accessible” with strong emphasis on getting affiliates trained properly and in a profit-making position as soon as possible. When I say accessible, YES, you can TALK with them personally if you need or want to AND they are high-end money earners.
People Search is definitely a service I would use personally, I do use it personally and I highly recommend both the service and affiliate program.
Anyone considering or using online dating services, this is an excellent method to learn a little something about that special person, to see if it is worth you falling head over heels in love.

Dissecting The Easy Home Business
This misunderstanding is the reason for such an excessive rate of failure in this industry. Many individuals assume this business is a cinch and then find out they do have to do more than register and then sit back while the business works for them.
In her hard-hitting report The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing, Ann Sieg makes the point that many individuals are lured into network marketing after hearing that they will not have to do any work since it is done for them.
All they have to do is offer a name list and then attend the meetings with their consumers, while their up-line sells the idea. Those who run MLM businesses know there is more to it than that.
Easy home business is an expression that congers up a mentality of overnight riches. Anyone with this mind frame will labor harder while building this business at home. Thinking like this conditions the mind to consider that it takes no effort to work this business. For some, when things dont work out like that, they move on searching for a way to make money.
Too many dead carcass MLMs litter the network marketing landscape, because of this type of mind set. This is the biggest reason why more than ninety percent of start-ups eventually quit their business within the first 3 months.
Internet network marketing is becoming a prominent business model and the same principles apply. Jump in headfirst when someone lures you in with a promise of getting rich quick with hardly any effort.
Online network marketing has a direct learning curve to overcome. It will take time to learn and understand how to work successful online strategies that are attractive to others.
The good news is, once you understand how, it becomes much easier. You will be amazed at how easily you can attract a multitude of potential clients. Once that happens, you can then see that it is an easy home business to run.

Twitter Followers Earn Free Money
How Many People Actually Use Twitter?
According to Mashable, The Social Media Guide, the most recent numbers show that 14 million people are visiting Twitter.
There are currently about 6 million registered Twitter users, which is about 3.8 percent of all Internet users.
Research further projects that by the end of the year, those numbers will double to 12.1 million users. In 2010, the number of registered Twitter users will be approximately 18 million.
Twitter is one of the fastest growing social network sites today. Anytime you see rapid growth of this magnitude, you can best believe people are going to find ways to earn money from it.
More and more, you see money-making, cash machine ads and videos in and on every platform and arena cashing in on this Twitter craze. If you don’t have a Twitter account, those of you who are not in that 3.8 percent user group above, now would be a great time to set one up. No more excuses. Below is a quick and easy Twitter video tutorial to get you all set up and ready to go.
Twitter Video Tutorial - Getting Started
Twitter Monetized
As I mentioned earlier, there are many systems and prgrams cropping up to make money with Twitter and your followers. Many of these programs charge a fee to get started, but I found one this week that was actually free to register and I started earning money the very first day of sign-up.
The program is not a scam or something ran in the shadows without the Twitter’s knowledge. It’s a fairly new 'ads for Twitter' cost per click platform that is easy and fast to get started and plugs in money making to your tweeting.
There are three different ways you can get paid from the ads which range from .50 to .10cents. The RevTwt program has a referral program which pays you 20% of total earned by each of your referrals. You won’t get rich, but hey, if you’re twittering and tweeting, you might as well get paid.
Oh,I almost forgot to mention, this program also pays you just for having a certain number of twitter followers, the minimum number of followers to qualify is 50.
The sign up process is fast, it took me less than a minute and the ads are not intrusive. This is not something you will have to spend a lot of time on to earn the money.

Why Content Writing Is Serious Business
A lot of people now are learning to use the computer and surf the World Wide Web. In the early years of the computer, not all people had access over the internet. But today, with the demands from technological advancements, almost every house has at least one computer with a good internet connection.
It is steadily becoming a habit for most people to check the internet at least once a day for their daily supply of information. Surfing the net for some people is like hunger. You have to feed it, or you will just go plain crazy if you don't.
Anything under the sun can now be searched through the internet. There is a vast amount of information that you can learn on the internet everyday. With the internet, you can enroll into your dream school, shop for clothes, connect to friends overseas, know the latest trends, be updated on the latest news, etc. Every single thing in this world can now be viewed in the internet.
All companies, large or small, have now joined the buzz and hype of the World Wide Web. There are travel websites, funny websites, informative websites, kids websites, social media sites and a lot more. An individual can even make his own website if he has the skill and the right resources.
Today, content writing is making its way to becoming one of hottest online and home based jobs. Content writing is as easy as 1-2-3. But content writing is a serious service that every website needs. Excellent content writing is in high demand. Keep striving to become better with each writing project you do. You might discover you've just found your first freelance job niche.
Building a website with a unified theme can be difficult if the owner and site developer do not know how they can make the website outstanding among millions of other websites that exist online. Websites need to have a concrete and unified concept about what it wants to achieve. Content writing must be considered by a company if they want to be successful in promoting their company in this medium.
To achieve an understanding between the viewer and your website is the main goal of content writing. First, the viewer goes to your site for one particular reason and that is because he or she believes you have something at your website they either need or want. Second, once the viewer is in your website, you must not let them go. You must persuade the person that your website is the exact website that will provide the information that he or she is looking for.
Understanding can be a heavy word to deliver on. However, if your website is able to achieve that understanding, then your website is probably one that a viewer will remember and hopefully bookmark as a favorite.
If your plan is to make people know why your company's products or services is worth a try, then do it through excellent content writing. Become an authority on content writing and you may find this evolve into an ideal home based job for you. Now that's serious business!
