Never before has it been this easy or cheap to get your company's name to your targeted audience. Not only has social media marketing found a great way for new companies to reach their potential customers, but it has found a way to do it that is entertaining.

There is no confusion why it is becoming the most powerful and desired marketing plan available. The tips offered here will assist you in using social media to the best of your abilities.

Post new content regularly. If you do not update your status at least once a week, your followers will forget that you exist. Perhaps you could post new content on the same day or at the same hour so that your followers have something to look forward to and will think about logging on to see what you have posted.

Create a RSS feed for your updates and give your readers the opportunity to subscribe to it. This will allow them to see your posts when they log into their Google account or right on their computer desktop if they use an RSS widget. Depending on your target audience, you will get more or less success with an RSS feed.

Things move very fast in social media, and your company will have to adapt quickly to the changes as they come. Just, a few years ago, tablet computers and smart phones did not exist in a mass-produced and publicly available form. Keep an eye on the new technology so that you are better prepared for the changes to your marketing.

Remember that when you are using social media to market your business, you are communicating with people, not at them. The technology that people are using now and the way social media is designed is allowing your customers to communicate easier than ever before. You have to engage in this conversation and communicate with your customers in contrast to posting ad copy with a one-sided point of view.

Free Report: How to Start Adding Muscle Mass in a Way That’s Fast and Sustainable

Loads of guys I know want to add muscle mass. And why not? When you’re a guy, having lots of muscle mass makes you feel imposing, intimidating and powerful. It changes the way that other guys look at you (which is to say, with a lot more respect) and it changes the way that women look at you as well.

Seeing as I’m in pretty strong shape myself, a lot of these guys will ask me for advice when it comes to bulking up. They want to know how they can add muscle mass without the risk of a disappointing failure and sometimes they’ll present me with their various training programs.

All too often, I find myself rolling my eyes.

Why?

Because the training programs and diet plans they present me with are almost always far too ambitious or just plain ineffective.

Take a recent example. One guy I know paid in excess of $300 for a ‘personalized’ online diet plan and what he showed me was utter garbage.

The diet plan took into account the macros he needed to eat, sure. The calories were based on a solid AMR calculation…

So far so good.

But the diet plan itself consisted of several incredibly difficult-to-follow meal plans that no-one normal would have the time, ability, or inclination to make and eat. As soon as you see a diet plan that includes some kind of fancy smoothie, you know you’re in trouble. The same goes for diets that involve elaborate methods for cooking and seasoning fish, with nice fruit chutneys on the side.

The guy who’d bought this plan is a pilot. That means that he is often staying overnight in different countries and being invited out for drinks with his pilot friends. That meant he would have to cook the meals in advance, freeze them and then bring them in Tupperware, hoping that they would only be defrosted by the time he was ready to eat them.

It also meant that on the few nights he got to share with his wife, they would be eating different things (she doesn’t want to bulk up, unsurprisingly).

And it meant that he wouldn’t be able to go out for a drink when offered.

The plan offered no alternatives and was completely inflexible.

And if it’s going to be any use, then he’s going to need to stick with it indefinitely. That’s right: he’s going to need to follow all that advice to the letter every single day, forever.

Well, good luck to him is all I can say!

And as you can imagine, the ‘exercise’ portion wasn’t much better. Which isn’t a huge surprise, seeing as the celebrity selling the plan is pretty stick thin!

So the idea of this report is to show you a different way. This guide will show you the basics of bulking but more importantly, it will show you how to create a program and a diet plan that you actually stick with. And along the way, we’ll point out all the usual stumbling blocks where people normally fail…

The Diet Component

When it comes to bulking up, eating the right diet is actually more important than exercising.

That’s because building muscle happens in two stages. First, you exercise and this causes you to break down muscle tissue and create ‘microtears’. This acts as stimulation to tell the body that it needs to repair that muscle and bring it back bigger. It’s a bit like you’ve marked the muscle for subsequent repair and growth.

The next stage is the rest stage. After your workout, you’ll then go and kick back on a sofa somewhere while eating lots – ideally maintaining a caloric surplus so your body knows it has spare energy and eating lots of protein to provide the building blocks for muscle tissue. Then your body grows.

If you exercise hard but don’t get the rest, then you’ll keep breaking down the tissue but without the chance to build it back up. If you exercise hard and don’t eat enough, then your body will be in starvation mode and will believe it doesn’t have the necessary energy to spare in order to build muscle. Moreover, it won’t have the protein that it needs in order to actually create muscle.

Muscle is made from protein. Trying to make muscle without protein is like trying to make a Lego house without Lego.

Search engine rankings are an important factor to consider when you have a website that needs more traffic. If your website doesn't have a good position in the rankings then no-one will find it, so you need to make sure that your website is ranked highly enough to be seen. The other important quality to getting high traffic to your site is having a nice arsenal of links. The more links that you have to your site the more traffic you will get, but also, the more links to your site the more search engines like your site. Keeping a nice supply of links pointing at your site requires similar precautions and practices as getting high search engine listings.

Although no SEO company can guarantee a high ranking for your site, here are some tips for raising your search engine ranking. Using these tips will not get you to the top unless your site is the best out there, but they will at least put you into the positioning that you truly deserve. After all, the internet is basically a free market. You will naturally flow into the place that you deserve and many search engines try to insure that you do not rise above or fall below this position. This is why they are so strict, and this is why you must keep yourself on good terms with them.

1) Content is an important factor in high search engine rankings. Make sure that you have plenty of content throughout your site with your target keywords in the articles. It's also worth doing a search for websites similar to yours and taking a look at their articles for ideas. The more content you have the better. It is generally a good idea to have between three hundred and five hundred words per page, but more important than a quantity of content is the quality of the content that you are providing. You cannot just put out three hundred words of jargon and expect your visitors to find it interesting and stick around for the long haul.

2) Your website's URL can help you rank higher with the search engines if it contains your keywords. However, don't think that naming your site after your keywords will always help your rankings - you need to do more than just that.

3) Search terms should be written out in text, instead of graphics. If you do use pictures, be sure to give them alt tags. The alt tags in your pictures are almost as important as text. It's also a good idea to put some of your key words in links to other pages. In the eyes of a search engine it is almost as good to have a link to a page full of the content that the visitor is looking for as it is to have the content that the visitor is looking for on your page. If a visitor is looking for something that you are linking to and he or she finds your page, they may look around your site on the way through.

4) The title of your page is very important, and making sure that you choose it wisely will make a big difference. Terms such 'free article on safe children's toys', or 'contact the children's toy expert today' are good to use as titles, for example - they would get you a high ranking. The title area is the most important place to include your keyword phrases, so make sure that you put them all in.

5) The navigation menu that appears on each page of your website should include your page's title.

It makes a lot of sense to build your own email list. Visitors to your website will come and go and it is likely that you will not see the majority of them ever again. When you can capture their email address you will be able to communicate with them and get them back to your website.

An email list is a valuable asset. You can send out emails to your subscribers promoting products and services that are related to your niche and make a lot of money. Promote your own products and services or become an affiliate and promote affiliate offers for commissions.

Email marketing is still the most effective way to reach your target audience. As emails are personal, your subscribers are far more likely to open them and respond to them than with any other form of promotion. Follow the advice and guidance in this special report to build a responsive email list.

The first step to build your email list is to create a free incentive that your target audience wants. These days, your visitors are not going to give up their email address easily. They probably receive too many emails as it is, and they know that you are going to send them promotional emails.

Find out what your audience wants and create an incentive around this. Your incentive could be a special report like this one in PDF format. You could also create a video, or series of videos that provide valuable information. Identify the issues that your audience has in your niche and answer the questions that they have with your incentive.

Your incentive must be high-quality. When your subscriber reads or watches your incentive, they will form an opinion of you immediately. If your incentive is of poor quality then your subscribers will perceive that your emails will be low-quality too and they will want to unsubscribe from your list.

Give your incentive a powerful and enticing title. Create an image for your incentive such as an eBook cover. If you do not have the skills to do this then go to Fiverr.com and find a good freelancer to do this for you for a few dollars. Make your incentive the best it can be.

An autoresponder service will allow you to create your email lists and add email sequences that will be delivered automatically when someone joins your list. There is also a broadcast feature with these services where you can manually create an email and send this to all of your subscribers whenever you choose.

We recommend that you use an established autoresponder service that has a good track record. Email deliverability is everything so you need to choose an autoresponder service that has high deliverability rates. If your subscribers do not receive your emails, they cannot respond to them!

In our opinion, the best autoresponder services are provided by Get Response and Aweber. Both of these services have high rates of email deliverability and many great features that you can use. With both of these services you will pay around $15 to $20 a month to get started. As your email list grows you will have to pay a higher monthly fee.

You may see a lot of advertising for cloud autoresponder services that are available for a one-off payment. These sound like a great deal until you realize that you need to use an SMTP service to send your emails and this can work out more expensive than a conventional autoresponder service as your list grows.

When you first use your autoresponder service you will need to create a list to add your email contacts to. Usually you can create as many lists as you want. Once this is done you will be able to create a web form or an opt in form that you can add to your landing pages to capture the email addresses of your visitors. This is all very easy to do.

Your landing page is critical to obtain new subscribers to your email list. It needs to look professional and provide all of the benefits of your free incentive so that visitors to the page will want to get it immediately.

A squeeze page contains a headline, a sub headline, usually a bulleted list of benefits, an image of your incentive and your opt in form. When a visitor arrives at your squeeze page they will only have two choices:

Join your email list

Lave the page

You do not want any other distractions on your squeeze page. If you provide links to your terms and conditions and privacy pages (which you should), then arrange this so that they open in a new tab so that your visitor does not have to leave the squeeze page.

The best squeeze pages can provide very high conversions. If your incentive is what your audience wants and the copy you have used on the page gets them excited then you are going to have a lot of success here.

A landing page is different to a squeeze page. You will need to use a landing page if you are going to use PPC or social media advertising services which we will discuss later. Your landing page will contain your email opt in form but it will have a lot more content on it than a squeeze page.

Introduction

Congratulations! The fact that you're reading this book means you recognize that you're not performing at your peak. Kudos on your honest self-reflection. That's not to say you don't work hard. You most likely work very hard indeed.

You put in the extra hours and make the effort to go above and beyond. You consider yourself motivated and driven. You try to stay organized, manage your time, schedule diligently, delegate, and all the rest of it.

Yet, you feel frustrated because you just know that you can do better. For some reason, all your efforts are not achieving the spectacular successes that they should be. In fact, you often feel stuck in place and fighting a losing battle.

You often look at high achievers with envy and wonder what their secret is. What is it that allows them to skyrocket ahead seemingly effortlessly? How do they manage to leap from one spectacular success to the next? What makes them stand out and shine at whatever they do?

What's the secret?

So, what do super-achievers have that you don't? The short answer is - nothing! High achievement is not a product of luck, nor is it an innate quality that some people possess. Anybody can become a high achiever wherever they are in life and whatever their personal goals may be. Becoming a high achiever simply means attaining your personal greatness.

Like any skill that needs to be learned and honed, high achievement can become an acquired trait. That's right, becoming a high achiever is totally within your reach through the cultivation of several powerful habits.

What you'll get from this book

First, you'll get a quick rundown of the common traits and qualities of high achievers. You'll be able to assess yourself against them where you are now. More importantly, you'll begin to recognize the emergence of these traits in yourself as you begin to practice your daily habits.

Developing good habits starts with recognizing the negative habits you need to break. So, you'll also get a brief rundown on habits that could be sabotaging your ability to become a high achiever.

Finally, this book will walk you through 10 powerful habits common to all high achievers. Most of them are simple, and some of them may actually surprise you because they're so mundane.

While each of the 10 habits is highly effective on its own, practicing all 10 on a daily basis is guaranteed to bring about a remarkable transformation in how you go about doing tasks and achieving goals. These habits feed off each other and feed into each other so that their compounded effects will make you an invincible super achiever!

Chapter 1: Common Characteristic of Great Achievers

We all know a great achiever when we see one. For one, they make all the underachievers stand out like a sore thumb! But seriously, have you ever paused to notice the special characteristics that they consistently display?

Here are a number of these common traits and mindsets. You may be able to recognize some of them in yourself already, which means you're off to a good start. Otherwise, you can anticipate developing these admirable qualities as you gradually transform into a high achiever.

They're action-oriented

High achievers are doers. Inaction, procrastination, and delay are dirty words to them. They're just not part of their mindset.

High achievers roll up their sleeves and get things done. They don't overload themselves with information or spend hours in detailed planning. They've learned not to fear taking risks and usually take action with minimal planning.

In a nutshell, inaction is simply not an option regardless of the situation. They have clutter-free lives

High achievers are well-organized because they take care to keep their lives clutter-free. Their homes, workspaces, even their cars and garages are typically tidy, streamlined, and free of superfluous clutter. They keep on hand only the essentials they use on a daily basis.

A clutter-free life goes beyond the mere physical. It gives high achievers amazing mental clarity, focus, and peace of mind. In other words, physical decluttering declutters the mind as well.

Introduction

If you’re looking for great up-to-date information about list building you came to the right place, because this guide is supposed to give you a headstart on what you need to know about the subject.

If you’re new to internet marketing, you need to know that list building is one of the most popular topics. Usually at this point you might ask yourself “what is list building?” or “why do I need it?”

The answer to both questions is very simple: “list building” is a process by which you create a list with potential customers that are interested in the products from a specific topic, be it a physical product, service or just the experience of a professional.

One way of list building, if you’re a website owner, is to use a newsletter form to collect subscribers. However, in such a situation, the visitor might not have anything to win so he will disregard signing up. In this case, a good way to raise interest in your visitors is to offer them a free bonus, but before doing it you have to list all the perks of why the bonus would be of great significance to them. More on this later.

Building a subscriber list is essential in order to lay the foundation of a successful business.

As with anything in life, when deciding to grow your business there might be people who will oppose you, or you might get scared by the fierce competition. In order to overcome this you will need perseverance and strength. Let us begin.

Simple Methods to Obtain Your Leads

Success never comes suddenly, it’s the result of small actions. Take advantage of the small opportunities that can kickstart your business to a new level!

It’s not at all bad to rely yourself on something so simple as a list. Start small and watch your business grow over time.

Opt-In Leads

Opt-In Leads refer to collecting subscriber data through autoresponder systems. For example, you might have a subscription form on your website where users enter their name and email address, directly allowing you to save that information and contact them in the future for products that are related to the website they’ve opted-in/subscribed for.

Of course, most of the time, people won’t just enter their information freely. You have to encourage them to do so by creating a “win-win” situation. By providing them with a bonus, like a product that solves a problem they might face, you are offering them a “win”, and their contact information will provide you the “win”.

You can include as a bonus for opting in an eBook, report, etc. Use online services in order to generate leads on a continuous basis.

Survey Leads

Another approach to driving leads is to collect contact information through a survey on your website.

People usually like to express their opinions, measured in this case through a survey, so you would have a better reach using this method. There are, however, people that don’t. For those, you could employ simple advertising tactics like expressing the benefits of them filling out the survey form.

You could also tell them that their contribution will improve the content they are requesting access to. Or you could do weekly giveaways and people who complete the survey will be automatically registered for the giveaway.

Giveaways are a great way for persuading people to give you their contact information. We’ll talk more about free gifts later on.

Make sure the benefits, especially if you apply the giveaway case, are really good so your customer can’t refuse the offer. This is a very simple way advertisers produce new leads.

Mailing and Subscriber Lists

We’ve talked about building a list earlier, which will guarantee you a greater reach when advertising your product on the internet to a list of people that are interested in new developments for a specific field.

In this chapter we will take a closer look at ways of building your subscriber list.

A lot of newcomers prefer simpler tactics like buying pre-made subscriber lists from 3rd parties. Even though this might seem as a great way to kickstart your business, it isn’t. These lists usually contain people who didn’t want to have their contact information shared with others, and you contacting them will make them resent you. They might even flag your emails as spam or report your website, which in return would mean a steady decline for your online business.

Buying pre-made subscriber lists is a big no-no! Make sure you create your own..

You see, 3rd party mailing lists are usually collected by companies using automated tools. They are usually not specific either, so people that subscribe to websites from various topics will be all bound in the same list, thus having ~10% of the mailing list with customers interested in your topic, to which there is a 50% chance they will be interested.
