INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the wireless revolution! If you’re new to the 4G wireless age, don’t worry. This is a great opportunity to learn about this technology and how it applies to business today. But, we understand that you do know business – and advertising. And, you certainly know how important advertising is to your business.

Like any business owner, advertising is an expense to your bottom line. So, it’s important to spend your advertising dollars to your greatest advantage. And as technology changes, advertising strategies and tools must change, too.

This book is designed to help you begin advertising to mobile phone users that are taking advantage of 4G technology. This technology gives them access to the internet, fast downloads, and streaming audio and video in addition to their voice and text messaging capabilities.

Even if you have a website and advertise via the internet, you may not be convinced that mobile advertising is right for your business. Following are some statistics that might change your mind.

• Nielsen Mobile, which reports on trends in the wireless industry said that, back in May 2008, 15.6 percent of mobile subscribers in the US made regular use of the mobile Internet on their devices. As of January 2012 that number has increased to 69% of mobile phone users accessing the Internet daily on their mobile phones!

• 95 million mobile users in the US are paying for internet access on their mobile phones, but they do not use it regularly, according to this same report.

• Nielsen also reports that these mobile customers most often use their mobile internet connection to visit websites – even more frequently than they use it to access email.

• Yahoo reports that it expects that by 2017 more users will access the internet via their mobile phones than via their home or business PC’s.

• eMarketer reports that even older baby boomers (those aged 54-62) access the internet at least once per month, meaning that internet marketing truly appeals to all ages.

• eMarketer also reports that in the UK, restaurant advertising on mobile phones grew 67% in the year up to July 2012, and clothing ads on mobile phones grew by 57.2%.

• This same report in eMarketer reports that the restaurant ads sent to mobile phones reported a 15.5% response rate. These ads utilized SMS messaging technology, rather than web browsing.

Hopefully, the statistics above have convinced you that advertising via cell phones is the wave of the future. It’s doubtful that you can boast a 15% response rate to any ad you’ve placed in the yellow pages, on a billboard or via direct mail. But, you may not yet understand how to take on this advertising venue, or what methods and resources are actually out there.

It is the goal of this e-book to provide basic information about marketing to the cell phone user, taking advantage of the new features and functions of 4G technology. Hopefully, we’re going to help you get creative about marketing your business to technologically savvy users.

In the pages ahead, we’ll take a look at 4G itself, including what features 4G offers wireless users. We’ll also look at how business users today are taking advantage of these features that 4G offers to make them more productive at work and at home.

This book will offer ideas and suggestions, as well as give you case studies about how these advertising methods have already been proven in the marketplace. You’ll probably be surprised at how many companies are already catering to the wireless user, offering ads on frequently visited websites and sending coupons via text messaging.

We’ll also offer you insight into the hottest applications available today and how they are being used or might be used to the advertiser’s advantage.

There’s a lot of food for thought in the coming pages. It’s all designed to make you think about advertising your business in a very different way. It is our hope that these ideas and suggestions make your business successful and prepare it for the future of advertising in wireless technology.

HOW NEXT GENERATION PHONES ARE GREAT ADVERTISING VEHICLES

Many of today’s business people may remember early cell phones. They were heavy, bulky devices that worked only in your car – and then only sporadically, since there were more holes in coverage than there was coverage itself. Boy, have we come a long way. Today’s phones are lightweight, pocket sized, and calling them mere phones seems like an understatement of great proportions.

Today’s cell phones provide us regular wireless phone service, allow us quick text messaging, display our emails, provide gaming and surf the internet. Many also offer push to talk capability to reduce our costs in talking to those whom we chat with frequently. All in all, our cell phones have become a business necessity – serving our needs far beyond verbal communication. Most of us take our wireless devices with us everywhere.

And, what’s even more exciting about how the extent to which wireless phone capabilities have increased is the fact that the cost of purchasing a cell phone and of paying for service has not risen dramatically enough over the years to deter business people or consumers. Today, nearly everyone has a cell phone – even children. Industry experts estimate that cell phone penetration has reached nearly 100% in the United States.

Wireless companies have created packages aimed at businesses to ensure that a company is willing to pay for phones for nearly every employee. And, family plans have made equipping every member of the family, right down to the elementary age child, affordable. In fact, today many families have foregone the landline home phone entirely in favor of a cell phone for every family member with a rate plan that allows them unlimited calling to every member of the family. In addition, wireless carriers have made “unlimited texting” plans so affordable that these are purchased by most business and consumer users.

Finally, the newest generation of phones, “smart phones” are a revolution in themselves. These phones have richer displays and are designed with more of a browser in mind. They also can support many different applications. There are applications available today, and you can bet that many more are in development. So, if you haven’t considered advertising your business via wireless devices, now’s the time. In short, cell phones are the perfect new advertising vehicle because:

• Nearly everyone carries a cell phone
• Many users subscribe to text messaging and internet
• There are a wide variety of additional applications that can be used for advertisers

If you haven’t yet thought about advertising your business via your customers’ wireless devices, this book can help you get started. In the next chapters, we’ll explore the possibilities of advertising on mobile phones more in depth. We’ll examine the new face of the technologically savvy business user as well as look at companies that have already begun to use wireless advertising strategies to their advantage. You’re sure to come away with many new ideas to help improve your connection with your customers.

Introduction

For the last couple of years, Google Adsense has dominated forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet. Already, there are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.

The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.

With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.

For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.

There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.
1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.

2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.

When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.

With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.

The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of
the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.

The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 urls. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem “useless”.

With Google Adsense, the possibilities are limitless. Yet there is also the possibility of someone taking advantage of the easy money process that this internet marketing is doing.

If you think more about it, these negative factors may force Google to break down and thrash Adsense in the process.

If that happens, people would have to go back to the old ways of internet marketing that does not make money online as easy as Adsense.

For now, however, Google Adsense is here to stay. As long as there are people wanting to earn some easy cash online just using their talents, the future ahead is looking good. Besides with all the strict guidelines that Google is enforcing over Adsense, it will take awhile for the Adsense privileges to be spammed and even terminated.

3 Reasons Why Adsense Is Essential For Content Sites

To know why Adsense is essential for your content sites is to know first how this works.

The concept is really simple, if you think about it. The publisher or the webmaster inserts a java script into a certain website. Each time the page is accessed, the java script will pull advertisements from the Adsense program.

The ads that are targeted should therefore be related to the content that is contained on the web page serving the ad. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, the webmaster serving the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the search engine for the click.

The search engine is the one handling all the tracking and payments, providing an easy way for webmasters to display content-sensitive and targeted ads without having the hassle to solicit advertisers, collect funds, monitor the clicks and statistics which could be a time-consuming task in itself.

It seems that there is never a shortage of advertisers in the program from which the search engine pulls the Adsense ads. Also webmasters are less concerned by the lack of information search engines are providing and are more focused in making cash from these search engines.

The first reason why Adsense is essential for content sites is because it already has come a long way in understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters.

Together with its continuous progression is the appearance of more advanced system that allows full ad customization. Webmasters are given the chance to choose from many different types of text ad formats to better complement their website and fit their webpage layout.

The different formatting enables the site owners the possibility of more click through from visitors who may or may not be aware of what they are clicking on. It can also appeal to the people visiting thus make them take that next step of looking up what it is all about. This way the people behind the Adsense will get their content read and making profit in the process.

The second reason is the ability of the Adsense publishers to track not only how their sites are progressing but also the earnings based on the webmaster-defined channels. The recent improvements in the search engines gives webmasters the capability to monitor how their ads are performing using customizable reports that has the capacity to detail page impressions, clicks and click-through rates.

Chapter 1: What the Stock Market is All About

In any business or moneymaking venture, preparation and foreknowledge are the keys to success. Without this sort of insight, the attempt to make a profitable financial decision can only end in disaster and failure, regardless of your level of motivation and determination or the amount of money you plan to invest.

In the stock market, this rule applies to the nth degree, as you are investing your own money in what could be considered a high risk wager, and you are playing with fire if you do not have at least a general background knowledge of how it functions. Since having a background in any area is helpful in guiding you down a path in that particular region, the more solid your basis of investment knowledge is, the more likely you are to profit from any attempt to trade on the open market. In many ways, trading on the stock market can be compared to driving – you do not have to be an expert to get behind the wheel of a car, though you are expected to have some previous knowledge about basic traffic laws, including moving violations, safety regulations, and other legal vehicular infractions, which are learned through either specific study and coursework or even through some form of simple exposure (such as the years you have spent riding with your parents and others who have driven for years). You should be able to comprehend the basic tools used to navigate a car (where the break pedal is located versus the gas, and how to use the rearview mirror, for example), even if you have never touched a steering wheel.

The same is true in entering the world of the stock market. While you do not have to know all the terminology (you will not be short selling or determining your own long and short positions at first, so you do not have to understand these references completely, though you should be aware of them), you should certainly be versed in the basic functionality of trading stocks, bonds, securities, and other commodities. And just like someone who is behind the wheel of a car and getting ready to touch the gas pedal for the first time, you should start out with caution and work your way in slowly. A first time driver will first set the mirrors to his or her own liking, then put the car in gear, look for any interfering traffic, and ease onto the gas pedal, never flooring it and testing the engine coming out of the gate on the first attempt. Likewise, when you select your first investment, you should choose something stable with little fluctuation and not invest a large sum of money on this first venture.

When a person is learning to drive, he or she will be accompanied by another individual who is more experienced and can assist them in making better driving decisions and offering corrections that will aid in learning to handle the car more efficiently. In the stock market, there are stockbrokers and other experts who can give you input and advice to help you in building your knowledge of the commodities in which you are interested, essentially “steering” you toward better stock market buying and selling decisions.

You could spend hours and hours researching the stock market and its functionality, learning how to become involved in the trade and who to contact to get in the game, especially if your interest lies in the Foreign Exchange Market, which goes far beyond the level of complication of the domestic stock market. However, in this book, you will find all the basic information you need to get started down the path to trading success. All of the leg work and tough research has been done for you, collecting the data and knowledge into one source from which you can gain enough insight to make you a successful trader on the open market. All you have to do is read in order to gain knowledge and wisdom, step by step that will bring you to a heady level of success. In this ebook, you will find all such helpful information, all brought together in one single source for ease of reference.

How Investment Works

Any time you are going to be putting your money into a fund; it is a good idea to start by understanding what you are buying into. The stock market is a complicated entity, and doing minimal business in trading requires a fair amount of basic knowledge, as well as the understanding and acceptance of the high risk factor. The more you know in advance regarding the functionality of the system, the less likely it is that you will take a heavy hit, ending in devastating loss.

First of all and probably most important in the trading business, you should understand what stocks actually are. When you buy or sell a stock on the open market, you should keep in mind that you are dealing with real objects, not pieces of paper; you are buying and selling real parts of a particular company, its product, or some other various commodity.

Owning a “share” means that you have actually bought into the company or product involved and become a partial owner of that commodity. Of course, you could be one of millions of shareholders, as most companies and products are broken into minute pieces of the whole, but you are still considered an investor in that company or product until you sell your shares.

Think of it as paying for a tank of gas in the car that your parents bought for you to drive. You may have even bought the oil filter that has been put on the car, and you may feel that this investment makes you part owner. However, when you look at the overall cost of the car, you have really contributed very little to that amount. However, as long as you continue to invest in the gas for the car and take care of the maintenance needs, you can claim part ownership of the car.

Because the value of a company and its products or services can fluctuate continuously, the value of the stocks you hold will not be the same from day to day and can sometimes even change hourly. When the price per share drops and is considered low, it is an ideal time to purchase. This is the least expensive way to begin your trading venture, and working with a stock broker will allow you to gain more information as to what stocks are ripe for the purchase at any given time.

In doing so, you become a stockholder, and the value of your holdings will fluctuate from day to day. Your gamble (and hope!) is that the value of the company or product in which you have invested will increase or rebound from the low price at which you made your purchase. This is the goal of all traders and means that your stock will become more valuable.

As the value of your securities increases, so does your net worth. When the price of the stock in your possession reaches a high point, it is time to sell, making a profit on your original investment. Ideally, you will always sell your holdings for a reasonably higher price than the purchase amount and should never sell when the current value of the stock is below your initial purchase price. It is important to make sure that you do not purposely take a net loss because there are plenty of occasions when you could be forced to take a loss.

For example, if you purchase shares of a company at twenty dollars each, you should never sell them for eighteen dollars apiece. If possible, you want to hold off until they are each worth perhaps forty dollars, in essence doubling your money. Of course, this is just an example, and not all stocks will ever double in value, but the illustration is meaningful.

Introduction

Let me tell you a little about my story. As the Internet began taking over the world, dollar signs flashed almost constantly in the back of my mind. I did some research to see who was making money from this evolution. I ran across import companies, search engines, web-site-development/hosting companies, and auction sites. That was a year ago. Now, more than ever, the Internet is starting to define business. People are actually paying for and downloading songs for their listening pleasure. People are researching, planning, and booking entire vacations online. People who love information are inhaling the Internet. Information is everywhere.

Of course that presents a bit of a dilemma. Information overload. Part of the problem with researching the Internet is the information you glean during your surfing is highly if not completely unorganized. You do a Google search. You notice there are thousands of pages relevant to your search terms. So, you narrow your search by adding a word or two. Now you're down to several hundred pages. And you start clicking on them, one after the other.

On to the next problem of up-popping popups. Darn those things. By the time you close all the windows, you may have very well forgotten why you sat down at the computer in the first place.

Even on sites without pop ups, you really don't know what exactly you're going to get or whether or not the source is reliable. So, the Internet is like a feast with some of the options being spoiled. Yuck! But the buffet is intriguing, so most of us tend to return to try our luck again and again.

Anyway, all this got me to thinking, what about eBooks? Yeah, sure, you can read Charles Dickens on a computer, but I'm talking about eBooks that teach, in a nonfiction sort of way. If I could put a few good eBooks on the web, then maybe people who wanted to learn about a topic could read an entire book from a reputable source online.

So I tried it. And guess what? At first I didn't have much success. But I dusted myself off, studied, tried again, tried again, and tried again. Eventually, through trial and error mostly, I stumbled on a formula that worked!

This book was born well after all of that, but I think it's high time I share my experience. There's plenty of room on the Internet for everyone. Climb aboard!

Chapter 1 --How to select a great topic--

It couldn't be easier to select a topic for an eBook. People are hungry for information, and people are looking to the Internet to feed their hunger. After you've read this chapter, you will feel confident enough to choose your own topic, or you can literally pull your eBook topic directly from this eBook and use it! How's that for a deal?

Observe what's going on around you

If you're smart enough to read this book, you're smart enough to look around you and determine what interests you and those around you. Think of what problems you've recently solved, and what kinds of problems others have had and solved. Any problem that has been solved in your world could easily be the subject of your next book. People love to read how other have solved a problem that they currently have.

So, brainstorm a list of problems in your life and in the lives of those around you. Your friend Bob lost his job? Your sister's child had chicken pox? How did they cope or find solutions? While you're at it, start another list of unsolved problems evident in your corner of the world. Write down problems you wish you had solved. Aha! These are subjects that people will really be interested in! How to lose the last ten pounds. The truth about UFOs. The straightest path to becoming a millionaire. From your personal corner, your step-granddaughter is pregnant at age 14? Your grocery bill is double what it used to be? Your roof leaks? These are problems waiting for eBook solutions!

These unsolved problems would also be great eBook topics. Remember, you don't have to know the solution, just the topic. You're going to get someone else to do the research and write the book for you. You will not actually be writing one word.

Spend a few minutes Googling

The Internet is a great way to find out what people are looking for at any given moment. You can search for almost anything. Google™ is a popular search engine you can use, or you can try any of the others like Yahoo!® or Mamma.com. Type in phrases like "top concerns of Americans," "best-selling nonfiction topics," or "popular how-to manuals." Common worries of 2005.

And while you're on the Internet...

Find out the most popular nonfiction books from the New York Times bestseller list, Amazon, and a Google search for eBooks. Your findings will tell you exactly what book subjects people are buying right now.

Try this. Go to www.amazon.com. From the tabbed menu running along the top of the Amazon home page, click "Top Sellers."

I did this one day in September 2005 and found a Harry Potter book, several other fiction books, and titles such as Natural cures "they" won't tell you about, How what you wear can change your life, How to profit from the demise of the dollar, and The official SAT study guide. I've paraphrased to some degree, but you get the idea.
Here's what I learned just from spending a few minutes on Amazon that day. People are reading good fiction from already-best selling authors (Da Vinci Code, the Harry Potter series, and others). Secondly, Amazon buyers, buying over the Internet, are interested in nonfiction topics such as improving their lives and making more money. For these books, just about any author will do, even virtual unknowns or people who went to prison for lying to the American public.

And that quick visit only confirmed that the straightest route to eBook profits is in the nonfiction eBook market. This is for a number of reasons. Fiction readers tend to like to curl up in a chair with an actual book. Some of them attend book clubs where the physical books are brought around someone's kitchen table with wine and cheese. Fiction readers tend to purchase from authors they're already familiar with. Fiction can be more difficult to write and deliver well. Also, many of the classics in fiction are available as free eBooks. A reader interested in fiction could just download those. So stick with nonfiction unless you're feeling particularly bold and experimental.

Here is some more good news, and if you didn't already know this then you are going to be smiling big. Drum roll please... ideas are not copyrighted, therefore any idea you see, hear, or read anywhere anytime, is yours to use for an eBook! You can create books around the same ideas that are covered in the Amazon best seller list, and turnaround and create an eBook on the exact same subject!

Chapter 1

Where This All Gets Started

Synopsis

There is an invisible talisman (mental attitude) that has 2 amazing powers: it has the power to draw in wealth, success, happiness and wellness; and it has the power to drive back these things —to rob you of all that makes life worth living.

It's the first of these powers, that lets a few men climb to the top and remain there. It's the second that keeps other men at the bottom all their lives. It's the later that pulls still other men down from the top when they've accomplished it.

A Place To Begin

Youmust learn to develop the habit of recognizing, relating, assimilating and utilizing universal precepts and adopt them as your very own. Then follow through with desirable action.

And what are the precepts you might apply? They may be learned and applied by youngsters and grownups:

Greatness comes to those who acquire a burning desire to accomplish high goals.

Success is accomplished and maintained by those who try and keep going with a positive mental attitude.

To become an expert achiever in any human action, it requires practice . . . practice . . . practice.

Effort and work may become amusing once you establish particular desirable goals.

With each adversity there's a seed of an equivalent or better benefit for those who are motivated with positive mental attitude to become achievers.

Man's biggest power lies in the power of prayer.

To learn and apply these precepts, tune in your invisible talisman to the positive mental attitude side.

We're the masters of our fate as we are masters, first, of our attitudes. Our attitudes determine our future. This is a universal law. This law works whether the attitudes are destructive or constructive. The law says that we translate into physical truth the thoughts and attitudes which we hold in our brains, regardless what they are.

We translate into truth thoughts of poverty even as quickly as we do thoughts of wealth. But if our attitude toward ourselves is big, and our attitude toward other people is generous and merciful, we Draw in big and generous portions of success.

As wellknow that those who trust they can't repel the positive; they utilize the negative side of their talisman. Those who trust they may repel the negative; they utilize the positive side.

That's why we must be cautious when we utilize these talismans. Its positive mental attitude side that may get for you all the rich blessings of life. It put up help you to overcome your troubles and to discover your strengths. It may help you step out ahead of your rivals, and can turn what other people say is impossible into reality.

But the negative mental attitude side is just as powerful. Rather than happiness and success, it may draw in despair and defeat. Like all power, the talisman is unsafe if we don't utilize it the right way.

But how do you go about putting positive mental attitude to work in your life instead of negative mental attitude? Some individuals seem to utilize this power instinctively. Some learn by relating and absorbing what they read in inspirational magazines and books.

A few individuals use positive mental attitude for a while but when they get a setback, they lose faith in it. They start out right, but a few "foul breaks" cause them to flip the talisman wrong-side-up. They never realize that success is maintained by those who continue trying with positive mental attitude.

A few individuals seem to use positive mental attitude pretty much all the time. Other people start and then quit. But other people —the huge majority of us —have never truly begun to utilize the fantastic powers available to us.

What about us? May we learn to utilize positive mental attitude, as we've learned other skills?

The answer, based on years of experience, is a definite yes.

This is the content of this book. In the chapters that follow we'll show you how it may be done. The effort to learn will be worth it because positive mental attitude is the crucial ingredient in all success.

Chapter 2

You Can Alter Your Life

Synopsis

We now know that positive mental attitude is a great thing. Once you begin to employ these principles with positive mental attitude in your preferred occupation or to a solution of your personal issues, you're on the road to success. Then you're on the right track and headed in the correct direction toward getting what you wish.

To accomplish anything worthwhile in life, it's crucial that you employ positive mental attitude, no matter what other success rules you employ.

Positive mental attitude is the catalyst which makes any combination of success precepts work to accomplish a worthwhile end. Its negative mental attitude, combined with some of the same precepts, that's the catalyst which results in crime or evilness. And grief, calamity, tragedy —sin, disease, demise —are a few of its rewards.

The Things Needed

As long as you live, from this day onwards, you are able to analyze your every success and every failure —that is, if you form these principles indelibly in your memory.

You might develop and sustain a permanent positive mental attitude by making it your duty to adopt and apply these principles in your day-to-day living.

There's no other known technique by which you might keep your mind positive.

Analyze yourself bravely, now, and learn which of these precepts you have been utilizing and which of them you've been overlooking.

In the future examine both your successes and your allures, utilizing the principles as a measuring system, and really soon you'll be able to lay your finger on what has been holding you back.

If you have positive mental attitude and don't succeed, then what? If you utilize positive mental attitude and don't succeed, it might be because you're not using it the right way in the combination for success to accomplish your particular goal.

Initially it might be hard to comprehend and apply the principles. However as you continue to read each of these precepts will be more clear to you. You'll then be able to utilize them.

Has the world presented you a raw deal? "I never truly had a chance to advance. My dad was an alcoholic, you know." "I was raised in the slum area and that's something you are able to never get out of your system." "I only had an elementary school education."

These individuals are all stating, in essence, that the world has afforded them a raw deal. They're blaming the world and conditions outside themselves for their failures. They blame their heredity or their surroundings. They start out with a negative mental attitude. And, naturally, with that attitude, they're handicapped. But it's negative mental attitude that is holding them down, not the extraneous handicap which they provide as the cause of their failure.

Identifying one's self with a successful mental image may help break the habits of self-doubt and defeat which years of negative mental attitude set up inside a personality. A different and equally crucial successful strategy for altering your world is to identify yourself with a mental image that will inspire you to make the correct decisions. It may be a slogan, a picture, or any other symbol that's meaningful to you.

What will your picture state to you? There's one way to find out. When you're faced with a grave issue or decision, ask your picture a question. Listen, for the answer.

A different crucial ingredient for altering your world is to have definiteness of purpose.

Definiteness of purpose is the beginning point of all accomplishment. Definiteness of purpose, blended with positive mental attitude, is the beginning point of all worthwhile accomplishment Remember —your world will alter whether or not you decide to alter it.

Introduction

This report will be a little different, because it's hard to recommend specific providers.

No, I'm not hiding any of my top secret, ninja, stealth backlink providers, it's just that things change all the time.

Providers come and go... If you've tried building backlinks yourself, you know how time consuming this stuff is, if these guys aren't making money versus the effort they put in it's time to close up shop.

There are some large companies out there that provide link building services, but they are usually very expensive. And I know for a fact, some of them, simply outsource the work themselves.

I'm going to show you the different ways I find backlink providers . These are going to be some VERY valuable tips, this is the same stuff I use in my business.
Please don't just scan through this, take time to actually read the report.

I know what it's like to purchase something and just scan through it...

I'm going to show you some proven stuff...

Apply it to your business... and profit.

Some Solid Gold Advice When Selecting Providers

• Look for the little "extras" some link building providers offer. Things such as pinging, submitting RSS feeds, or bonuses. Sometimes, pinging the links and submitting RSS feeds (if done properly) can lead to your links being indexed quicker. Factor these into your decision whether or not to purchase.

• Many times when outsourcing backlinks, people will skip a service offered by people from countries such as Russia or Latvia. Some of the best providers I've hired, come from countries typically frowned upon by many people who do a lot of outsourcing. Link building is a lot different from outsourcing things like graphics, article writing, or web design. Unless you want something very specific done, there's not much communication going on. Most providers simply need to know two things.

1) The URL of your site .

2) The anchor text you would like to use.

• Stay away from people offering services to submit your site to WHOIS directories. It is a complete waste of money and you can do it for free (if you wanted to): http://www.imtalk.org/cmps_index.php?pageid=IMT-Website-Submitter

• Get personal with the provider. After placing an order, send an email to confirm everything along with a message stating that you look forward to working with them. This simple message get your work prioritized since they know they're dealing with a real person.

• Stay organized. Document the start/end dates of the project, the website address where you made the purchase, and the URL and anchor text of the links created. Keep all the reports you get back from the providers in a folder.

• Skip the VA's (virtual assistant). This is my own personal opinion, but you can get things done a lot cheaper and faster by using multiple individuals and services versus the same person.

• Take care of your provider. A couple extra bucks goes a long way if you find a provider you feel comfortable dealing with. This could again mean your project gets prioritized. Leave them feedback after a job well done and thank them. Treat good providers like gold.

• Don't be paranoid. Outsourcing at first may seem like a scary proposition. If you've never outsourced links before you can get very paranoid about any adverse effects the links may have on your site/rankings. Stop. If it was that easy to ban/harm sites using links, everyone would use them on their competitors.

• Ask about turnaround time. Not always, but if it looks like the provider is too busy taking care of other people's projects to meet the specified turnaround time, ask first before placing an order to avoid disappointment. This is especially true of new services being offered on forums. Sometimes the provider will get a large initial surge of orders they weren't prepared for. It doesn't mean the service is bad, but there's only so many hours in a day.

• Be consistent and get links built monthly to your sites. You can use a variety of different anchor text, but it's important that inbound links keep getting built. This is less true of local SEO, but if you are competing in a general niche, you will want the links to keep coming. There's no problem with using different providers each month.

• You can't control link indexing. Getting the backlinks built is one thing, getting them indexed is a whole other issue. Sometimes it may take Google some time to "find" the links no matter how much pinging or other tricks you use. Some backlinks are easier to get indexed than others. Be patient.

• Ask for reports. Most providers state that you will be provided with a report after the work is complete. Go through the report, and double check some of the links. If there are a small amount of links being built, all of them should be publically visible (meaning you don't have to login anywhere to see them) and you can check each one to make sure they're all there. If you get a blast of 10,000 links being built, not all of them will be correct. Don't worry about it, when you're dealing with that sort of volume and different site, it's not going to be perfect.

• Test before you go monthly. Never commit to a monthly expense before seeing the quality of work being offered. Ask the provider if they offer a smaller package or test run.

• If you're unhappy, move on. There's no sense getting into a pissing match with a provider. If you're not happy, move onto someone else. Make sure to note the username of the person, their website address, and PayPal address to avoid purchasing from this person again.

• SEO is opinion. That's pretty stupid of me to say since I'm positioning myself as knowing a thing or two about the search engines, but at the end of the day, the only people who truly know Google's algorithm are the people that work at Google. Everyone else is just offering their opinion based on personal experience or testing. Things can always change, look for multiple opinions instead of just listening to one person.

• Other ranking factors. Backlinks are not the only determining factor in search engine positioning. There are a lot of other variables including on-page SEO that when mixed with backlinks can dramatically improve your ranking. Before purchase links, make sure your site is setup to benefit from them. Read up on solid on-page SEO techniques.

• Connect in other ways. Sometimes emails get lost, sent to the spam box, or never replied to. Many providers will offer these ways of additional communication. If a person offers you their Skype, MSN, or Yahoo messager id, use it.

• Look for a detailed description of the service. This is true whenever you are looking for outsourcers, the more vague a person is about what they're doing, the better the chance you're not going to be happy with the results.

Looking at it From a Child’s View

Perhaps the greatest teacher of positive thinking is a child. Children are the ultimatepositive thinkers. They have not learned that life throws curves and that challenges are around every corner. They look at life as a big adventure. Maybe you should adopt that way of thinking.

Think about a child in your life. They seem to have no fear of new things. They will try anything once. They love life and are optimistic and happy. Children love to explore the world and what life has to offer. They are willing to put themselves out there just to learn.

Children have to have this amazement for life. This is how they learn and how they develop their identity. It allows them to live in a positive manner.

Children do not jump to the negative because they believe there is good out there. They do not know about all the bad that the world holds because you shelter them from that.

Let yourself develop that child-like faith. Stop yourself from dwelling on the bad in life and start looking for the positive instead.

Think about that saying ‘stop and smell the roses’. A child would do that, but would you?Chances are it is not likely you would. So, change that about yourself.
Slow down and take time to enjoy life. Stop filling everyday with to do’s. Enjoy life and you will soon find it is easy to embrace the positive.

Here are some things that children do that you can bring into your life. These things will help you to be able to look at the positive instead of the negative.
1. Explorenew things. Instead of walking away from the unknown, walk towards it. Children are always exploring. This is how they learn. Let yourself start exploring again.
