Web 2.0 sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace etc are certainly big at the moment. Also, Google Buzz has recently arrived on the scene and is starting to make waves. The secret, of course, is to try and find legitimate ways to utilize some, or all, of these tools to grow your business. Something I’ve been looking at for some time now… and finally I’ve come up with some strategies that have made significant differences to my business.

Now, those of you that know me well, through my coaching and motivational site, will know that I like to get to the point. You’ll also know that I spend most of my time on coaching rather than Internet Marketing. So, when I start talking about Internet Marketing, it usually involves something big… and this is no exception!

OK, so why use Twitter? I’m not one of those people that says you should use something just because it’s there! It has to serve a purpose and it has to be effective in terms of both time and cost. Well, Twitter certainly wins in terms of cost… because it’s free! Can’t argue with that… because it won’t cost you a dime (or a penny… or a cent… you choose!).

But what about the time aspect? Does Twitter win on that one as well? To be perfectly honest, until recently, I couldn’t work out how to use Twitter in a time-effective way, because each ‘Tweet’ was simply published once and then, as far as I could see, disappeared into thin air! I simply couldn’t find a way of sending ‘Tweets’ so that they were seen by people at different times of the day… without sitting at my PC all day (and night) and repeatedly sending out the same message… time after time… after time… after time…

I just knew there had to be a better way of doing things, so I decided to do some research and low and behold… there was a multitude of tools available! The trick, of course, was finding one that did everything I wanted… but at a reasonable price… or better still… free!

Now, if you want to go through the same process as me, search Google for ‘free twitter tools’. You’ll find quite a few!

Unfortunately, most of them will only work for accounts with a small number of followers, whereas my top account now boasts well over 14k followers and I now have almost 50 thousand followers in my main accounts. These figures are increasing all the time… and bring about substantial visitors to my sites on a daily basis. So, Twitter is definitely working for me… although, it is still early as far as I’m concerned!

OK, in a nutshell, this is what I want from any Twitter tool.

1. The ability to schedule tweets to all of my accounts, either separately or the same tweet to each
2. The ability to resend tweets at scheduled times
3. The ability to monitor and maintain my list of followers
4. The ability to maintain and monitor the list of people I’m following
5. The ability to build my list of followers and friends (people I’m following) according to specific criteria

There are a few other things I need, but these are the key features I wanted.

OK, let’s look at these in more detail… but not too much, because I know you’re a busy person!

1. The ability to schedule tweets to all of my accounts, either separately or the same tweet to each

This is my number one requirement. I have individual Twitter accounts for each area of my online business… Life Coaching, Relationship Coaching, Internet Marketing, etc. So it’s essential I can send different ‘Tweets’ to each account… although sometimes, I’ll happily send the same ‘Tweet’ to all of my accounts! Each ‘Tweet’ you send is displayed on the Twitter site and will also be picked up by your followers (the people following you), so this is a great way of getting your message across to people who have chosen to follow you.

2. The ability to resend tweets at scheduled times

Again, this is crucial. Since Twitter is used worldwide, it’s important to be able to send out the same message at different times of the day, so that my followers will pick up my messages whatever time they’re logged on. Marketing also involves putting your message in front of people as much as you can… without getting to the point of really annoying them, of course! So I need a tool to do just that!

3. The ability to monitor and maintain my list of followers

A key aspect of Twitter is finding people interested in the same issues as yourself. As an Internet Marketer, for instance, I look for like-minded people on Twitter, follow them and hope they then follow me… we can then exchange ideas and hopefully I can sell some useful products to them! Look, this is business! Now, all of this could be a time-consuming process… without a tool to help you along the way!

4. The ability to maintain and monitor the list of people I’m following

This is pretty important too… mainly because Twitter doesn’t like you following lots of people if you don’t also have a similar number of followers… or indeed loads more followers. This does puzzle me slightly, but I’m in no position to argue, so I just have to get on with it.

Anyway, no figures are published, but it seems that once you get to following about 2000 people, you need to have at least 1800 followers or you won’t be allowed to follow any more people. This is a distinct disadvantage, since one of the best ways to get followers is to follow someone else… because they will then often reciprocate and follow you! See how this works? Good!

5. The ability to build my list of followers and friends (people I’m following) according to specific criteria

Again this is important… and basically works like this. I look for people with the same interests as me or people looking for services or products that I offer. I then become their friend (follow them) and hope they reciprocate and follow me. We can then build a relationship through Twitter.

Now… wouldn’t it be great if you could find a tool to automate these and a few other processes?

Well, I have some great news for you! Click here to take a look at the only tool you’ll ever need to make Twitter really work for you!

Make today a great day!

Wow! No wonder, so many people are fed up and underachieving!

So what’s going through your mind?

Worries about money?

Are you concerned about losing your job?

Problems with your relationships?

Trouble with your kids?

Are you angry with someone or something?

Look… most of this happens within your unconscious mind… but the good news is, you can change the way you think… you can train yourself to think positively… you can remove all these negative and destructive thoughts.

To do so, all you have to do is keep your inner thoughts at one with your dreams and goals.

Whenever you start to get negative thoughts, make a conscious effort to change them…

When you’re in fear of failure… simply keep saying to yourself, “I will do it… I will succeed”. then as you start to move forward, change it to, “I am doing it… I am succeeding”. And that will soon change to “I’ve done it! I am a success! Yippee!”

The more you say these words, the more they get forced into your subconscious mind... and all the negative thoughts will be pushed aside! This will increase your self-confidence and lower your fears.

It’s so important that your inner conversations are positive and in line with your goals. Find words that work for you…

If you have goals connected with finance, try things like, “I’m making millions!”, or “I’m a money magnet, attracting millions of pounds (or dollars!)”

If you’re aiming for promotion at work, keep telling yourself, “I’m the best! Nobody else comes close!”

Just say and do what works for you… there’s no magic phrase that fits all…. just find the ones for you!

You won’t find a successful person who’s full of doubts and worries. All successful people have very positive inner conversations and supreme confidence. Their inner dialogue is full of positive thoughts that build confidence and drive them towards their goals… and you can do exactly the same!

But it does take time… and effort…

Get yourself a coach, read as many self-help books as you can get hold of, go to seminars, read articles, visualize yourself in successful situations… all the time, winning, being successful!

Feed your mind… continually!

Look, if you’re physically unfit, you stop eating crap and start exercising… right!

Well, if your mind’s unfit… stop feeding at crap and start giving it nourishment… feed your mind with anything and everything that’s positive.

Look for some role models, people you admire, people who’ve become huge successes. Read about them, watch them on TV, listen to them on audios, start to mirror their actions and thought patterns.

OK, here are two steps you can take right now to get yourself moving…

Step 1 – Use affirmations such as “I can do it!”. Repeat this several times a day, especially when you first get up and last thing before you go to sleep. Repeat it about 20 times, several times a day.

Use affirmations that strike a chord with you. That way they’re sure to work.

Step 2 – Stop feeding yourself crap… don’t watch the news. Catch up every so often if you must, but avoid watching anything negative, especially late at night, just before you go to bed.

Refuse to read, discuss or watch negative and downright depressing things.

Instead, feed yourself with positive things… buy books, read articles, watch TV that gives you a lift, get a great coach… and change your self-talk!

These simple changes to your life will make such a difference.

Go to it… and Create Incredible Success!

Success means many wonderful things…

Personal prosperity…

Your dream home looking out over the ocean…

Financial security and independence…

Freedom from worries, fears and anxieties…

And most important of all… Happiness!

Look, I’m sure you have many other things you’d like to add to the list, and hopefully, they’re all big… because today, I’m going to talk about aiming high… aiming for the stars!

But, if you’re going to aim for the stars, you’d better be thinking big… because getting that high is no task for small thinkers!

So… are you a big thinker? I hope so!

And if you’re going to aim that high, you’re going to need some real, strong self-belief. You’ll need to be single-minded enough to brush aside a few doubters and push through some set-backs.

Still with me?

Cool!

So, how do you develop a strong power of belief?

Do you have it in you to achieve big success?

Of course you do… you just need to believe in yourself… and believe you can move mountains!

Follow these three steps, and you’ll be well on the road to success… er… I mean big success!

Step 1: Think success… not failure!

When faced with tough challenges, think to yourself… “I’m a winner, I will succeed!” Remove all self-doubt and never feel as though there’s a chance you may fail.

If you’re competing against others, say, in a job interview, say to yourself, “I’m as good as, if not better than, my competitors”. Never see yourself as the underdog or inferior to anyone. That’s not arrogance, it’s creating a positive image of, and for, yourself!

Every time you see an opportunity, say to yourself, “I can do it… I can succeed!” Never put yourself down or worry about failing.

By thinking success, you program your mind to come up with plans that will create that success.

By thinking failure, you will produce failure!

Step 2: Remind yourself constantly, that you’re better than you think you are

Look, there’s no mystique when it comes to success. Successful people are ordinary people, like you and me… not superhuman beings!

Success, doesn’t require super-intellect or extraordinary intelligence – most of the world’s top entrepreneurs left education with very few qualifications.

No, in short, successful people are ordinary people… just like you and me… who have developed incredible belief in themselves and what they are capable of achieving.

Never, ever, sell yourself short… especially to yourself!

Step 3: Believe BIG!

Think big and expect incredible success…

Think small and expect… exactly what you’re asking for… tiny little achievements!

It’s a strange thing, but big goals are often easier to reach than small ones!

So there you have it…

Step 1: Think Success
Step 2: Believe in yourself
Step 3: Think BIG!

Create Yourself Incredible Success!

Until next time…

Make today great!

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is critical to the success of your website!

It’s that simple!

No if’s or but’s… if your site isn’t optimized correctly, you’ll never make it to the top of search engines!

Look… you may well have tried several companies or products in an attempt to gain ground on your potential competitors… you may even have had limited success. But the chances are, you’ve tried several products and got nowhere fast!

Listen… if you’ve tried these things and had no success… it’s NOT your fault your websites aren’t listed in the top search engine positions like they should be.

The truth is…we’ve all been misled by the so-called SEO experts!

You see, 99% of the quick and easy SEO techniques are Completely WRONG! In fact, many of them will make your site come out worse!

Let me give you an example…

Many so-called SEO experts will tell you to use Google’s Keyword Tool to find the keywords people are searching on in the search engines. Sound logical? Of course it does! But… what they don’t tell you is… the keywords you find, that supposedly get thousands of searches done on them each month, are being pulled from all kinds of Google data including Gmail, Blogs, and “other products”.

In other words, this data is being pulled from Google’s content network NOT their search network (Google.com). So this leaves you with keyword data that is unreliable as far as SEO is concerned. This is not what people are searching on, it’s what is actually used in their content! See the difference?

Look, you know, as does everybody else, that you need to find keywords that are being searched on most… and also, you need to know that they’re getting hundreds or thousands of searches every month. Right?

So, the real trick is to use a program specifically created for that purpose… one that gives you hard numbers as to what people are searching on, not what shows up in miscellaneous sites on the Internet. After all, what do you care if loads of people are blogging about, say, “hand painted coffee cups” if no one is searching on them?

But let me ask you a question… “If these so called SEO experts aren’t telling you this, what else are they hiding from you?”

And the answer? More than you can probably comprehend.

You see, they don’t want you to know the right way to get your site to the top of the search engines… because if you really knew how to get there and stay there, you’d never have to buy another product from them again!

Look, I’ve only scratched the surface with the snippet of information above… and on it’s own, it won’t get you to the top of search engines… but it will help!

You’ve probably seen the claims… “if you just do this one thing, you’ll get first place on the top search engines in less than a week!”

But let me tell you, there’s no single secret tactic that’ll magically take your website to the top of the search engines.

It’s a process…a systematic process. One you have to work at and keep working at!

If you really do want to get on the first page of search engines… and that’s where you should want to be… no… that’s where you need to be… click here to find strategies that really do work and see for yourself a product that’s creating a whole load of controversy because it’s revealing secrets never released before in the SEO world!

This product may not be around for much longer, so take a look now, before it’s too late… This is an SEO Book written by a Search Engine Optimization Expert… someone who’s worked in SEO for years.

Have a great day!

Thoughts have great power…

They’re the seeds you plant in your mind.

They’ll either make you a success… or hold you back!

By holding onto a particular thought, you invest power in it.

Positive thoughts give you energy and strength.

Negative thoughts rob you of power and are a drain on your energy.

You may find this hard to believe, but, by nature you’re positive, we all are!

Negativity is the result of many things…

Limiting beliefs… some from your childhood…

Society… we’re bombarded by negative news, comments and thoughts… hundreds, if not thousands, of times each and every day…

Friends, family and work colleagues… often inadvertently, by things they say or do…

The list goes on…

But one thing is certain…

You can change if you want to.

You can’t control other people…

You can’t control situations…

You can’t control circumstances…

But you can control what is going on inside you.

You can control your thoughts.

It takes time to change.

It takes time to transform those old patterns of thinking.

But… be patient with yourself.

It all starts with a thought…

It all starts today!

Procrastination is one of the most damaging habits you can develop.

Note the use of the word develop. You weren’t born with procrastination built into you. You developed the habit of putting things off as you grew older and as society, your peers, your parents, teachers and many other people chipped away at your confidence and self-belief.

Now that’s a bold statement, if ever you heard one! Yes?

Take a look at any small child…

Do they hesitate when they see something they want? You bet they don’t!
Just about every young child is in a rush to walk, talk and create mayhem!

So what happens? Why do we develop this debilitating habit of procrastination?

For many of us, it’s a safety mechanism. A way of putting off trying something… so we can’t be seen as a failure. So we can’t be criticised for completing a task that’s not up to scratch.

Hey, if we wait long enough, someone else might just come along and finish things off for us!

Look at people around you. Do they put things off? Do they delay things they could easily attempt today… right now!

Change the way you view things.

Every ‘failure’ is a lesson learned. Every success takes you closer to your dreams and to the abundance you deserve.

Every success grows your business.

Make an effort to stop procrastinating… NO! Make a decision to stop procrastinating… right now!

Start every day by working on your major project, don’t procrastinate by checking your post or your emails… do that later. Otherwise, you may get diverted from your main project for the whole day. Now don’t tell me that’s never happened to you before! Of course it has! It’s happened to me as well!

So here’s the plan…

Start your working day by working for at least two hours on your major project… before you do anything else.

Then see how much difference it makes to your business, your confidence and to your happiness!

Take care and have a great day.

Sometimes we need a change and that time has come for me!

I’m reorganising my business and will be changing my hosting and autoresponders in the next few days.

As well I’m going to be re-assessing which activities to keep and which to discard, so when I’m back, there could well be some big changes!

All will be for the better!

So, I’ll be in touch again soon. In the meantime, visit this site from time to time to see when things change.

The transition from hosting companies will hopefully be nice and smooth and not result in any downtime and my intention is to keep the blog going, but it may be that some parts of the site are temporarily ‘not found’!

I’m hoping to be back to normal (whatever that means!) in a couple of months or so!

Have a great day!
