REMEMBER – YOU ASKED FOR LIVE VIDEO TRAININGS – SIGN UP TO BE THE FIRST!!!

As the 2010 New Year approaches, I am nervously sifting through my list of goals.

- Live Broadcasts (Ikyubit)
- Video Marketing & Video Trainings
- Consultative Training Sessions
- Home Business Mentoring
- Private Coaching Sessions
- Non-Disclosed / Discrete Trainings

These are just a few on the New Year goals list. It is very exciting to enter another year with such technological freedom. I have a ton of valuable information that online friends have been asking for and organic SEO tips that I want to share in my Video Marketing 2010 Series. This is a HUGE project and personal accomplishment for me. I am working hard to plan a live video streaming series and cater these messages according to the topics that you think are of most benefit to you (online marketing, organic seo, life balance, money & career, wellness, relationships, spirituality, teens, Intenet business action plans). I have expert coaches that will contribute to these sessions as well. Best of all … I will host live broadcast sessions via The Payer Player (Ikyubit). Make sure that you have yours to watch these sessions.

Marketing your business online in 2010 … it is going to be a lot of fun!!!

As most of you know, I am more on the shy side – “a behind the scenes type of gal” – therefore live broadcasts and video marketing was not as much of a priority in the past. I basically depend on social media marketing and search engine optimization strategies like the rest of you. As you can imagine, moving towards video training is now personal and an exciting goal for the New Year.

One of my mentors suggested that I create videos in Sept 2008. My shyness was comical to her at first (I am rather outgoing by phone, so she could not image). She made every effort to encourage this progress and then became annoyed that I would not create videos to make online marketing easier. After some time, I had set a plan on making video trainings and marketing to begin in 2010. This was with purpose of not featuring any other company nor service but my own when I came out on video. Hope those business owners understand this motivation. I have been developing online for 10 years now. It just makes more sense to me.

YOU ASKED FOR LEA CHARLTON VIDEOS?

Until then … Check out the video below to see where I’m coming from!!!

As finances became tight in this economy and hundreds of online business partners starting asking  that I send them video trainings to help make more money online. It really became tough to hold firm to my plan not to market other companies on video in 2009. I did give in and created a blog talk radio, voice recording and video training for Orange Leads. This raised quite a bit of traffic for my website. It was a lot of fun to track and receive their feedback. Now, I am moving forward with some of the most informative and diverse video trainings stemmed by years of experiences, mistakes and technological advancements. This should be fun!!!

Nice thing about video trainings / video marketing is that it is a FUN WAY TO MAKE MONEY and brand online. As the old saying goes … “She’s about to blow!!!” … LOL that is referring to me Advanced Social Media, Internet Marketing and Organic SEO trainings will be private. This does include partner life coach and teen trainings.

August 2008, Matt Cutts excitedly announced that a new Google Search Engine under development called Google Caffeine. He says that this is a new Google indexing system that required a team of architects to recode how the engine search works. SEO experts scratched their heads for a second while watching the interview (see below) and then scurried over to the Caffeine Sandbox (beta test site) to try the new Google engine search features.

The changes were not as apparent as I would have expected to see, though as Matt Cutt’s Q & A page explains,”even power users won’t notice much of a difference at all. This update is primarily under the hood: we’re rewriting the foundation of some of our infrastructure.”,  therefore it is agreed that there was not much to see on the surface. Every once in a while, I would spot a difference in a Google search engine position or two. The Caffeine Sandbox was available until after Google started testing live. I would like to note that I did notices the changes in the SERPS and this is what prompted my return to the test site. It was gone; just the message you see in the image below. I would have hoped they could have kept the Caffeine Sandbox active so that we could study the new architecture a bit longer.

Regardless, it is 6 months later and we are still waiting for the Google Caffeine Launch. I have been telling students and friends to expect Caffeine to launch after the holidays. This was validated when I placed a Google engine search for Caffeine and saw Matt Cutts new blog post, “Expect Caffeine After The Holidays“, in the 9th position on the first page. Guess I do know a little about how the search engine business works -eh? LOL

The following is what I have been noticing over the past few months. Google Caffeine may or may not have direct influence on these Google SEO changes, but after using similar strategies over the past 2 years and then all of the sudden not seeing Google search engine results as expeditiously as expected, I would have to say that these are direct results of Google Caffeine OR what occurs during live tests of the new algorithm. I am just grateful – as are most SEO experts – that the changes did not occur during the holidays. One year, Google did make code changes during the holiday season (I think this was two years ago; might have been three years ago). IT WAS TORTURE working on a rather large ASP website project at that time and clients having fits when seeing the page ranks changing on the Google toolbar. Little did they know, I was having fits as well because I was detecting inconsistencies in the SERPS and working double time to adjust metas and launch static pages. Keep in mind that one of the sites had many sets of dynamic metas to adjust for about 20k pages. This included changing the follow attributes until I noticed that the Googlebot was ignoring my desired crawl times. One of the changes of that Google update. The point is that we had to become psychics and work simultaneously in order to increase or maintain rankings DURING A HOLIDAY SEASON – this really ticked me off, so many thanks to Google for not doing the same this year. Meanwhile, wouldn’t it be funny if the Google Caffeine changes are so subtle that they launched it without telling us and will just announce in the 2010 New Year?

I will have to post a “stick foot in mouth” blog in that case – LOL – .  One never knows what to expect from this company!!!

What should we expect when Caffeine launches?

Caffeine will deliver Google search results faster and better.
- I personally did not see any major SERP changes aside of when logged into Google Accounts.
- The Caffeine indexing system was a bit more refined especially with the PPC & PPC rotations.

Parameter Control enables us to define which duplicate content the Googlebot should ignore.
- Click the Site Configuration tab in your Google Webmaster Tools.
- See the Settings and Parameter Handling – use it.
- This feature will instruct Google to read the duplicate content pages as ONE resource.

I will add more information as I determine Google Engine Search changes. Lets keep an eye out for when Caffeine launches and post comparison notes in the comments section of this page.

In the meanwhile … educate yourself on the new SERP and SEO changes.

This is what Matt Cutts had to say in the August 2008 interview with Webpronews.

Finding the “best” work at home business is quite a challenge; especially when new to the Internet and when wondering which are legitimate work at home options. There is a lot of research and planning involved. This makes finding a work at home opportunity a lot of work. It seems like everyone has the “latest and greatest” products or services to excitedly share with you. Each one claiming to have the “best” work at home business module and pay structure. Each insistent that they want to “help” you by scheduling time to discuss their “business opportunity” with you (they want to recruit you). It eventually feels like finding the “best” work at home business is confusing, expensive and time consuming.

How do you find the “best” work at home business for you?

Should you work from home – or – start a business that you can work from home.

There is quite a difference in the two business modules. One involves either freelancing, consulting or having a job that you can work from home. The other includes franchising, pursuing a business idea or joining a direct sales company. You need to decide what type of work at home will fit best with your personality, budget and goals, then stay firm to that decision. This does not mean that if you choose to start a business, that you have to exclude any freelance opportunities. Nor does it mean that you have to get a work at home job in order to establish security. All is dependent on what you think is best; not what some fast taking recruiter decides is best for you.

Your work at home business should be a positive experience, not a stressful venture and financial risk.
