I met a really neat lady a few months ago. Her name is Deborah Barton-Birden. After watching some of her videos and listening to her online radio show, I found her to be creative, motivating and quite an energetic business woman … She is genuinely helpful and a proud grandmother of 14.  Yesterday, I had the priviledge of being a guest on her Blog Talk Radio Show – Conversations With Deborah – Listen to the recording!

COME BACK & COMMENT WITH YOUR WORDPRESS EMAIL WHEN YOU HAVE DONE WHAT I EXPLAIN BELOW. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ME TO UPDATE YOUR PREVIOUS REPLIES, SO THAT YOUR YOUR PICTURE IS ON BLOG COMMENTS.

I have been browsing blog posts and noticed that your comments are often missing profile images. This blog post explains why and how to add your picture to blog comments for Wordpress, Blogger (Blogspot), Yahoo and other services. This may seem insignificant depending on what stage you are at in your online branding , though I assure you that it is very easy and important for the following reasons:

Online Branding
As the old saying goes, “it is you that sells your business”. When marketing online, it is important that people begin to associate your product(s) or service(s) with your face and / or logo. This means that you need to add an image to everything that you do as part of your online branding process. It builds rapport, loyalty and is distinguishes the novice from the seasoned marketer.

Pictures Add To The Blog Aesthetics
What looks better? A blog with pictures or no pictures? How about a blog with comments or no comments? There is nothing more unattractive than blog comments with shaded silhouettes or template graphics. Look at this comment page and now look at the comment section on this page. Which looks better? The blog with the profile images not only looks better, but portrays that it is a professional blog that people take the time to register for and participate in as a viable resource.

Want to know  to add a picture to your blog comments?

Use the same email address for your profiles.
When I am setting up branding solutions for clients, the first thing that I do is create a free email address at Gmail.com, Yahoo.com and Bing.com. – both with the exact same name. For example, if the client is a work at home mom and wants to brand this way, then I create email addresses that reflects how she wants to brand herself (i.e. workathomemom@gmail.com & workathomemom@yahoo.com). I do this for companies that have not already started online branding for themselves. If they have already been using a particular address with Wordpress, we either keep it the same or replace the email on the existing account with a new one.

Register at www.wordpress.com using the email address from whichever email is going to be the “dominant” account.
This is typically the GMAIL address because we use a lot of Google services and Google Caffeine has started showing our profiles (with picture… important) directly in the search engine results. I would recommend that you choose the option that provides you with a free Wordpress.com blog opposed to just the account. This will provide you with advantages when blogging in the future. Plus, you can secure that Wordpress website address per the strategy for your online branding. For example, my work at home mom client would use her workathomemom@gmail.com to secure the workathomemom.wordpress.com website address. I will explain more about the entire purpose of securing this later. Just note that this is good for online branding. Consequently, the Bing.com and Yahoo.com email address will serve the same purpose when working with the Yahoo suite or services.

Always take the time to upload a picture and set up the profile section of your accounts.
After confirming the account(s) from your email address (if applicable), you need to login to your Wordpress or Yahoo and take the time to set it up – right there and then. Add your online branding image. Complete every profile field that you can. In the case of Wordpress, you need to clean the free blog of their template entries and personalize it with your own post, etc.

• How to add your picture to Wordpress (called a Gravatar) –
  Click the Account link on the top menu, click Edit Profile and you will see a big blue graphic on the right. Click the link below and it takes you to a page with 4 links to choose from. Most of us will choose the first link that helps you upload it from your computer. * NOTE – after you upload a pic, it looks like it was not added (maybe a little glitch in their code). All you have to do is go back to the Edit Profile area again, click the link to go to the upload a picture area and you can see it there … or post a comment on your own blog to test (you can always delete this test comment)

Your blog picture will show on Wordpress Comments, Yahoo, Blogspot / Blogger Comments if you do this …
Now, when you comment on other’s blogs, make sure to use the same email address that you use for that blog service. If you are making a Wordpress comment, then use that email address. If you are making a Blogger Comment / Blogspot Comment, then login with the gmail address before you comment. If you are commenting on a Yahoo application, then use the Yahoo address.

* I think it better to use the new email address, so that your other is not filled with spam.

In a few months, Traci S Campbell will join my list of recommended authorities for our video training series. She is the leading advocate and coach for teens from single parent families, as well as the host for Heroes at Home Radio. This is an online radio show that inspires single parents by honoring those that are working  hard to become successful in all areas of their lives. Traci has been a blessing  in my life for many reasons. The most obvious is because I had been a single parent for the majority of my younger son’s years. I respect that she has been helping so many people (single moms, single dads, married couples, teens, tweens, psychologists, other advocates) and can relate to her passion for making this difference in the lives of as many families and children that she can help. I continuously learn from her knowledge, professionalism and loving spirit of this friend.

Traci will release her first book and teen coaching program – The C.H.A.M.P. Within. There is still time to get the free audio and transcript from the left hand side of her blog at http://blog.traciscampbell.com – she also has interesting blog discussions that will help your friends and family learn more about teens, pre-teens and family value systems.

As 2010 would have it, my 1st video training took a “back seat” to an extremely important person in my life … My 10 year old son, Jonny “MJ” Charlton. I am using it as our January 2010 Video Marketing example. We hope that you pay attention to this case study and use this information to help YOUR business with video marketing

As the ball dropped on Jan 1, 2010, Jonny “MJ” Charlton (my son) appeared in a dress shirt and pants, Michael Jackson glove and hat, socks dirty from running outside to set off fireworks and EXCITEDLY announced that he wanted to make a video to get started on his 2010 New Year goal. I stood scratching my head wondering what he was up to. Roxy and Coby got the video camera ready. We ventured into a room with enough space (still unpacking from trip to Florida) and my son instructed us to play the song Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. When he was finished, he instructed us to load the video to Youtube and TAUNTED ME that he had made his video before me – LOL

We recorded as he danced to Billie Jean and had a great time – SEE VIDEO BELOW.

He announced that he knew what he wanted to do for a living, “be a Michael Jackson impersonator and professional WWE wrestler”, so that he could use these to help kids with Aspergers, ADHD, ADD, ODD and this spectrum of disabilities. Coby and I did as he requested. I launched his coordinating blog and told all of our family / friends. The next day we promoted his video a bit on January 1st and a few more hours during the month. In total, it was about 1 1/2 day of marketing in January 2010.  According to the Youtube statistics, Jonathan’s Michael Jackson video received 3,391 hits, 37 Comments and 30 five star rankings in 31 days? Google Analytics shows his blog received over 292 visits although the link was added to his video post mid-month. He is extremely proud!

Video Marketing Training #1 – What does this mean to you?

Well, this 10 year old started the 2010 new year with a goal in mind and the passion to accomplish it quickly. In comparison to some of the videos we come across and that I have marketed in the past, Jonny’s Michael Jackson video had fast branding success in under 2 days of video marketing. He did some things that many work at home and corporate professionals refuse to do:

1) He made a solid marketing decision and acted upon it quickly.

2) He utilized effective video marketing resources.

3) He asked help from people that were skilled in particular areas where he is not.

4) He chose a fantastic niche based on market popularity and personal interests.

Most of all, he dropped any insecurities about his chubby belly, not having the best dance planned and being shy about performing in front of others … went with the Nike “just do it” philosophy and just did what he set out to do.

With the Google Caffeine changes, social media marketing is even more important to your business than you could have imagined. Videos, Twitter, Press Releases, News Feeds, Blogging and other Social Sites like Myspace, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. are you very best platforms when it comes to organic SEO and Internet Marketing. My next Video Marketing Training will discuss a network that was VERY important to my branding and development in the past year … This friend has a new video training series that will help you, too.

How did I help my little Michael Jackson Impersonator accomplish his goal?

1) I supported my tween in his marketing decision although it felt like a risk to the parent in me.

2) I immediately posted the video to YouTube while doing marketing analysis in other browser windows to determine who he was competing with & what keywords (including his name).

3) Once the video was posted, I added the title, description and keyword in the YouTube boxes.

4) I made sure to add his website link as the first text of the description and mine at the end, then set it as the main video on my Youtube homepage – http://www.youtube.com/leacharlton

5) I cloaked the link, tweeted it and sent the info to family and friends, so that they could watch, rank and comment. Some retweeted and social feed for us, so that he could get the exposure.

6) I took a few minutes to post his Michael Jackson video as responses to other’s similar videos.

7) He already owned the domain, though it had a very old website builder on it. I added Wordpress, a cute template and the content that he dictated to me, while I had Coby posting his video to locations on the Internet, ping and feed. This took a few hours of the first day of marketing.

Imagine if you had over 3391 Youtube video views and 292 hits to your new website in less than 2 days of marketing. You would be much better off in your business, as a result of video marketing, than you were last year.

The following is his Michael Jackson Impersonation Video – Let us know what you think!

TIMOTHY L DROBNICK HAS DONE IT AGAIN … THIS IS HIS “SHOW STOPPER” FOLKS!

October 2008, Timothy L Drobnick launched a website offering free leads and free advertising. I joined and literally “lost my mind” in the encapsulating “orange world”. His website was different than the others I had tested. There was no “catch” to getting the free leads and advertising. People still join because of the free leads and free advertising. However, it has taken on more colors and close to 50,000 members since it launched. You can still find me there as user #561 because of the help he has provided to me. Orange Leads was beneficial for just about any program or business tool that I wanted to market; including helping me offer SEO Marketing services in the home business industry. This happened much more rapidly than if I had used traditional social sites, forums or pay per click services. Tim has HELPED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE learn how to start a business or brand within an existing one, and / or make money online.

Most impressively, Tim programmed this suite of Business and Internet Marketing resources while the members were referring (building their own lists) and using the portal. This is quite an accomplishment as most programmers prefer to create a website and then develop memberships after it has been completed. In this case, Tim’s portal was expanded as the members made suggestions to him, based on their needs, as well as per his creative business objectives. It is quite a suite of programs that most people can use to accomplish online business goals.

FIRST, YOU HAVE TO LEARN WHAT IS AVAILABLE.

Orange Leads is the recruiting and marketing platform.
Once you are a member, you are automatically a member of the following suite of programs:  1) Oogads (Classifieds Site), 2) iHid (Link Cloaker), 3) Tweetposts (Twitter Automation), 4) IIC0C (Internet International Chamber of Commerce), 5) Retailbucks and 6) Free Text Ads

Avalanche Money System is the business opportunity. It is perfect for those who do not already have a business or would like to generate additional multiple streams of residual income. Once you join this system, you are automatically a member of the following programs 1) Global Domains Internatinal (GDI), 2) Headhunter and 3) Portal Director. Add your Avalanche User ID to Orange Leads and use both systems.

SECOND, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEM & APPLY TO ANY BUSINESS.

There has always been one problem with Orange Leads … all of the members could not use the suite of programs. This is not for Tim’s lack of trying to keep people informed. He appointed admins to help answer questions (James and I were the first) and he has always been active in the network to help the members as well. Tim and some of the members made videos to show how to use the different facets. Tim assigned even more admin to help. Tim has always kept an up to date blog of changes and additions. Still, a great portion of the members felt overwhelmed by what the massive portal offered and there are many that are capable but just not motivated to learn on their own; even though the active members explained how the suite of Orange Leads programs would help their business.

Similar to how overwhelming it is to use Facebook or Linkedin for the first time …

So they quit and choose to use easier networks until they understood that they are missing out on a HUGE share of their markets by avoiding those valuable resources. This is the situation with the suite of programs that Tim created. Although the more savvy users were requesting more features and Tim was coming up with ideas of his own, those that were already confused and new members could not figure out how to use all facets, none-the-less make them benefit their business so that they could make money.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH MOST MARKETING & BUSINESS SYSTEMS … PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FILL IN THE GAPS … GET THE “NUGGETS” OF INFORMATION THAT HELP THEM PIECE IT ALL TOGETHER IN ORDER TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL.

For this reason, the VipWealthClub is a training program that I recommend.

1) Tim’s VIP Wealth Club (training) is really inexpensive and self paced.

2) You can use it to learn how to market your Free Orange Leads programs or ANY business.

3) Tim will share his years of business and marketing experience in the VIP Wealth Club.

The videos are based on what the VIP Wealth Club members ask Tim to teach them and his years of experience. He makes weekly videos based on these focuses.

THIS RECORDING WAS MADE FOR MY REFERRALS . TO DATE, THIS IS 3666 ORANGE LEADERS THAT HAVE MY ADVERTISEMENTS SHOWING ON THEIR CONTROL PANELS IN ADDITION TO THE 50,000 THAT I CAN MARKET TO DAILY BECAUSE OF TIM’S ORANGE LEADS.

I have written tons of blogs and created many network groups about this suite of programs, but Orange Leads has always been my favorite. I latched on so tightly, that people thought that I worked for Tim and called all of the time – LOL Meanwhile, I was not working for him. I simply understood the potential that his system has for helping people learn how to market and make money online. There are videos, written instructions and always someone there to help in the public chat room; including the owner himself.

In my opinion, you can use Tim’s suite of programs whether you are in home business OR a corporate business owner. It just depends on online marketing and business goals. The whole package is an Internet Marketing System (a virtual office per say) that creates income streams for entrepreneurs and / or helps them market their own business. Whether you are in home business, real estate, insurance or other sales oriented industry, you can very well find your next “star” or client base by using the suite of Orange Leads programs … if you are not lazy!

Digg.com, Stumbleupon.com and Technorati.com are your best friends right now. They are 3 of the many important social sites that you should use regularly; these are the leaders. They have organic SEO and Internet Marketing advantage that provide you with more control in increasing popularity in several ways:

1) Indexing (Authority sites help with rapid reads on new websites)

2) Ownership (i.e. Technorati Blog Claim, Digg permits website links, etc/ )

3) Popularity (reaching larger audiences and more regular search engine crawling)

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.

Were you just getting started on the Internet this Christmas? Did you just launch a new website or blog though not have time to get your Christmas marketing in order? Don’t sweat the small stuff this year. You can start your Christmas marketing any time of the year; especially when using a Wordpress blog. Just launch a page, add it to your list of links and feeds while marketing online throughout the year. Get your Christmas marketing going now in order to  prepare for the next holiday season. You will be pleased with the results for Christmas marketing each year. If you find that this is too much, please do not hesitate to contact me for help. Merry Christmas Marketing is fun seo work.

I wish all of my online friends a very Merry Christmas.

Looking forward to connecting with you in the New Year – God Bless!

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.

Giant Business Opportunity – http://bit.ly/aFxS4e

Twitter has really stepped it up a notch over the past few months.

It is awesome to have the Retweet (RT) link back again. This had been disabled for over a year and forced us to manually RT @ users opposed to clicking a link and moving forward with communications. Some might not think this is a huge deal, but those who gravitated to Twitter applications like Tweet Deck know what I am referring to here. Internet users and social media marketers prefer not to have additional steps in their usage. Having the ability to click Retweet is one of those little things we like to use.

Twitter Trends is connecting both social and marketing Tweeple. It is such a user friendly features that helps us gain additional followers and exposure where a social user may not have connected with others at that interest level because they conditioned to connecting with exciting friends and not the fact that Twitter is a social networking site.

As always the Twitter SEO advantages are exciting …

Best of all, the new Twitter Lists are going to rock the social media marketing world because it permits us to track target markets and niche list build as if we have 20 additional Twitters at work for us. This feature will make it much easier to increase followers, sales conversions and blog subscribers, though not without a little work on creating, developing and utilizing your Twitter Lists.

HOW TO USE TWITTER LISTS?

I actually prefer using their “inhouse” features to 3rd party Twitter applications where we run the risk of hacking, hijacking or account suspension. Most popular Twitter applications are excellent tools, but as more and more shrewed online marketers work hard at building lists, some of these substandard application do jeopardize our accounts.

REMEMBER – YOU ASKED FOR VIDEOS – 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. This was what video meant in the generation of technology that I come 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 partners that provide life and teen coaching.

Which works best for your busines at this time?

“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything” ~ Malcolm X

I am a firm advocate of many “things” … a  belief system that I live by!

I believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior …

I believe in the “power of positive thinking” …

I believe in constantly educating ourselves …

I believe in doing with purpose, passion and productivity …

I believe in Unconditional Love and living in gratitude …

I believe in “taking risks” in order to improve my character and quality of life …

I believe in speaking my mind that we all have the right to believe what we want to believe do what we want to do and say what we want to say - no matter what age  - as long as we are respectful in how we communicate and treat one another, ourselves; use our actions and motivations.

I do believe in the Law Of Attraction and that we all deserve the happiness, love and abundance that the Lord has in store for us.

I could go on and on with what I believe, but it doesn’t mean a “toot” to me if after I share those concepts I am left sitting there worried about what you believe. When it comes down to it, this is about you and me, as well as our mindsets?

This does not mean that I bow and back away from what I believe. It means that I am concerned about our “mindset” and whether we are developing our dreams and success, or if self defeating thoughts and actions are holding us back from the blessings God bestows. From habits, focus and guidance – to – appreciation, unconditional love and gratitude – to peace, prosperity and abundance. Where are you in your dreams? Are you developing? Are you obtaining the success that you deserve? What do you believe in? Are you manifesting to others?

“I grow old learning something new everyday.”  ~ Solon

At this point I have an age old question to ask of you … ready? Here it is …

ARE YOU REALLY A TEACHABLE / COACHABLE PERSON?

I have read, been asked and pondered over those words for years. I used to think that it was the most absurd question on my interview sheet. I thought that I should not have to ask people this because I BELIEVED in constantly educating myself and helping others. Meanwhile, it was quite a process for me to get there and I am still “learning everyday”. Here I am, years later, understanding that it is one of the most important concepts for happiness and success in this life. We can sugar coat it with “are you willing to do what it takes?”, “are you committed?”, “are you willing to give unselfishly as God has commanded you to do?”, “do you want to be happy”, “do you want to obtain the abundance that you deserve” … TEACHABLE / COACHABLE … Is this you? If you say that you are this type of person, are REALLY you moved to learn, share and love unconditionally? This is deep and becomes not what you believe, but a way of life.

It is not always easy. It is not always hard. It is “what it is” … Do your best!

I was sent a blog post with this recording Million Dollar Mind Shift Recorded Call of C. Russell Brumfield. Ironically, it is in a place that I will be visiting soon though cannot make it as soon as this date. Regardless, if you are able to travel or live near St. Petersburg, FL, then you can attend the “Million Dollar Mind Shift Intensive” from Oct 23 – 25 and FREE. You will need to give your credit card as token of your commitment to attend this event. Russell Brumfield does this so that he has no empty seats. If you waste one, then there is a $50 charge opposed to it being free. So, if you register and plan to attend, there is no risk / no charge to your card. If you register and do not show (waste the good seat that someone else could have used), then there is a $50 charge. *I am in NO WAY compensated for sharing this information with you. It was sent to me and I am posting it in belief that it will help some of us make the MAJOR mindset and life adjustments needed to move forward. As I stated before, my mindset is that it is really not just about me. It is about what we believe and achieve!

The Payer Player Call – Sept 28, 2009

I have added a new recording for our team call with the staff from The Payer Player and our Teamwork Makes The Dream Work team. Hope this helps to provide clarity as to where we are (which phases) in this beta test and how soon the International members can expect payment.

Get the code for this recording at http://www.mixpod.com/playlist/30910668

Qualifying members in the USA and CAN have already
received their checks from The Payer Player.

You can learn more about this new Social Network That Pays and why this technology is increasing in popularity with corporate and International markets.

Join Shaquille O’Neal’s new techie toy by visiting The Payer Player today!

HERE ARE 2 MESSAGES THAT I RECEIVED FROM MICHAEL FREEMAN AT THE PAYER PLAYER – HOPE THEY CLARIFY A FEW ISSUES ON THE BETA, INTERNATIONAL & PAY. THE PAYER PLAYER IS NOT A SCAM.

His replies are in response to 3 concerns that YOU have at this point in the Beta Pre Launch.

1) Our team is getting nervous because the Payer Player is not communicating enough.

2) Although many have received Payer Player checks, some have not. Where are they?

3) The Internationals want to get paid and want to know when this is going to happen.

HERE IS WHAT MICHAEL FREEMAN HAS TO SAY IN REPLY TO MY QUESTIONS

The Payer Player - Michael Freeman - Addresses International Player's Pay Concerns

CLICK THE IMAGES TO READ THE EMAILS

What is taking the Payer Player so long to launch? Where is my Payer Player check?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPLAINING, BUT YOU ARE BEING  SO IMPATIENT BECAUSE THE FEE IS $10 A MONTH – HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SPENT MORE TO FIND THE PROGRAM DID NOT MAKE MONEY NOR PAY AT ALL?

 MEANWHILE, THE PAYER PLAYER IS GOING BY THE BOOK AND TRYING TO PROVIDE A QUALITY SERVICE / PRODUCT. 

IF YOU DID NOT LOGIN AND UPDATE YOUR INFO (AS THEY INSTRUCTED IN ORDER TO GET YOUR CHECK) …

IF YOU DID NOT READ THE TERMS ON MEMBERSHIP AND PAYMENTS …

IF YOU ARE THINKING THAT THE PAYER PLAYER IS A SCAM. IT IS NOT … SEE THE CHECKS … SEE THE FEATURES!!!

I have not been in one launch of a “social network that pays” that send checks so quickly (unless you want to count MY FAVORITE – ORANGE LEADS ) – meanwhile, The Payer Player is still in pre-launch. AS WE ALL KNOW … IN PRE-LAUNCH / BETA TESTS and you have to “roll with the punches” until it is your time to “ride the waves“.

Quite frankly, it is apparent to me that these gentlemen (the Payer Player staff) are not eager to loose or abuse Shaquille O’Neal’s good name. They are each confident enough to personally address issues and professionally handle business details; all have an excellent reputation from previous positions that have brought them to this point in the game.

• Looks as though The Payer Player is focused on producing a quality product and service.

• Looks as though those of us in the TOP COMMUNITY POSITIONS will benefit – remain patient.

• Looks as if the programmer is adding more user friendly / user convenient features at this time … (Did you select a color for your player? Did you see that we can now expand the live broadcast viewable? Do you know what else is new?)

IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL PAYER PLAYER THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH BRAD JOYCE DIRECTLY …

Would you like to speak with Micheal Freeman and Brad Joyce directly?

Ask Brad Joyce about getting paid a residual income each and every month, as well as the additional potential YOUR COUNTY will have in  providing the Payer Player to both corporate and social market levels?

ARE YOU AN INTERNATIONAL PAYER PLAYER THAT WANTS TO GET PAID? ARE YOU PROVIDING SUPPORT TO A LARGER DOWNLINE? THEN LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW AND I WILL SEND YOU AN INVITATION TO THIS CALL.

This blog explains why I choose the Avalanche Money System as a program that I recommend for building a Global Domains International (GDI) business? My reasoning is simple … GDI has worked for me. Avalanche has worked for people that do what it says to do to build their GDI business. PLEASE NOTE: I am not paid to promote the Avalance Money System. GDI does pay me an affiliate commission off each account.

THIS IS MY AVALANCHE MONEY SYSTEM / GDI STORY
(BONUS POOL WINNER -> GDI QUITTER -> GDI SUCCESS TEAM)

I was with Global Domains International many years ago. It was newer to the work at home mom arena and they loved the opportunity. I did well with this company, was bonus pool winner, got selfish about the time it took to help my team members build their GDI businesses and quit.

Shame on me, right? I could have helped 1000(s) of people by now. All of us making $1000(s) in residual income had I stuck with GDI.

So, I was doing well with GDI. At the same time I was building my SEO Marketing business. It was great. I had good money coming in and I found GDI extremely easy to market online because I understood the facets, products and how to apply these to others’ online marketing needs. It was a match made in heaven (for a minute:)) until I realized that my referrals were having a hard time. I ended up spending a lot of time trying to teach them the foundations of website design: domains, hosting, email forwarding, how to use the website builder, etc. Some were extremely motivated or knew more than the others. These women called me day and night to help with uploading custom designs and asking me how to fix their code errors (which I would have to login and do as well).

This was not so difficult because I love working with people that want to learn, but it was frustrating to me because I was also building my SEO marketing business at that time. It just seemed redundant to continue as the ROI was not balancing in comparison to what I was doing with my own domain sales, hosting servers, website design and SEO marketing.

I KNOW THIS IS HORRIBLE, BUT I AM TELLING YOU MY GDI STORY, SO PLEASE READ FURTHER.

I did myself and others a disservice by quitting GDI.

To be success in the home business industry, there is more to just learning your business and doing well for yourself. You also need to learn how to step back from personally building your business – especially when you are doing well -  to help others on your team learn how to do well in building THEIR business (duplicate your success).

I guess you could say that when I was in GDI the first time, I did not have the servant’s heart that God needed to develop in me over these years.

So, a few months ago, my friend Bud asked if I was doing GDI. I gave him a long and exaggerated “NOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOO”.

In all of these years, I never had the desire to join Global Domains International (GDI) again …

That is UNTIL this friend asked me to join, so that he could be on my team (how sweet, right?).

His only requirement was that we joined through the Avalanche Money System owned by Timothy L Drobnick Sr. I have been working online with Tim for a year now. I would totally trust any system that he created, but this particular one was associated with GDI and I just was not keen on starting that all over again.

I joined Global Domains International first and then came back to register for the Avalanche Money System as the page instructed.

It took some enticing from my friend before I joined, but Tim was kind enough to sponsor place him on my team because he is also my Orange Leads referral. Sponsor placement is a feature in GDI that permits us to move our personal referrals under others on our GDI team if we want to. It is a nice way to reward other people on your team for their hard work because we both get paid affiliate commissions.

FEATURES OF THE AVALANCHE MONEY SYSTEM

- It is free for all members on our GDI team

- Designed to help you build your GDI

- Get FREE GDI Leads

- Get FREE GDI Training

- Get FREE marketing tips and motivation

- Community of GDI members to network with

- Learn how to create multiple streams of income

- All NEW members of the Avalanche Money System MUST JOIN with an existing member of our GDI team.

… and much more considering that my personal team will teach you how to use and build a website with GDI.

Here is my Viral Marketing Mom GDI website builder example. It explains the features of Global Domains International.

This is my friend Bud’s GDI website: Buds002 Place

Here is a Tampa FL website that I helped Coby upload to his account (not GDI website builder).

Just so you know, it took a few days to learn the Avalanche Money System and to reacquaint myself with my GDI account again. I was happy to see new website templates and builder. It is till a bit challenging to some, but they do well once they learn how to use it.

Bud built his GDI website with very little instruction from me. He asked what I suggested per the page hierarchy and then sent me a link a few weeks later with his completed website – He’s a motivated team player for sure … WOO!!! HOO!!!

After I took a few days to learn and set up, my Avalanche / GDI start building by my working it just a few hours a week.

It is not huge and quick money made at first, but I was in profit in the first month and it is steady residual income with a team that retains well.

I spent time helping some set up their GDI and have two assistants that are excellent at helping with Avalanche & GDI as well.

THEN I HIT A ROAD BLOCK …

Not everyone was following the instructions in my email and setting up their GDI websites. Some not working their GDI business at all

Meanwhile, my team has personal training and support  (this is in addition to the Avalanche Money System), so that they can learn how how use the builder to design more search engine friendly websites, learn how to market / track hits to their personal website pages opposed to affiliate links and develop multiple streams of residual income as well.

THE MORAL OF MY GDI STORY IS HUMILITY, FOCUS, PASSION & LOVE FOR WHAT I DO.

Check it out … This is Why To Use The Avalanche Money System To Build A GDI Business!

In order to do well in any business (Home Business, Small Business, Corporation), you have to have certain characteristics and goals. I have found through the years that God developing humility, focus on helping others, passion to succeed and a love for what I do (internet marketing, SEO, training, making money online) has contributed tremendously to why I am still working on the Internet after all of these years and now plugging away again with Avalanche / GDI.

Thanks to Bud for asking me. I have known him many months and this is certainly a man with a servants heart. He is part of our Teamwork Makes The Dream Work team and does so much to help there, too.

Bud, Coby, Bob, Sandee, Dinah and I are passionate about helping people succeed in starting and building a business.

The reality is that I have had people join me in many programs and wait for me to build it for them.

I have worked hard in this industry over the past 5 years and spent a ton of money on the knowledge that I share with others … it does not work that way with our team. We teach and help you. If you want the help,  just respond to our emails, skype me at pghseo or phone 412-567-7007.

I am sorry folks … That is not how I roll … !!!

How to join our Avalanche Money System / Global Domains International Team?

If you would like to join our team – just go to Avalanche Money System and scroll to the bottom of the page. Click the 1st button and complete the GDI sign up process. Come back to the main Avalanche Money System page, scroll to the bottom and click button #2 to join Avalanche. You will need to wait until your account has been approved. In that time, you will receive my instructions on how to get started once the Avalanche has been approved. After you follow those instructions, you go to the GDI. If you can work independently, great … if you need help, contact me.

Once you started – OR – if you would like to work independently …

The Avalanche Money System is designed for you to build your Global Domains International business at your pace.

They can build a PROFITABLE & RESIDUAL GDI business on their own or plugin to our team.

Again, if you are on our team and need help, you can contact me regarding Avalanche & GDI by Skype at pghseo or phone 412-567-7007.

I strongly encourage anyone that quit GDI in the past because you …

- Could not afford business opportunity leads,

- Did not know how to market online or offline

- Did not get the support needed in Global Domains Internet

… to check out the Avalanche Money System and see what I mean.

- Imagine how much residual income you could have been making by now if you did not quit Global Domains International.

- Imagine the search engine rankings and business you could have had from your personal GDI website?

Most importantly, imagine how many people you could have taught to make money from home.

If you like GDI and wanted to build your business on a team with support, perhaps this is the right one for you.

It could not hurt to try. The Avalanche Money System is free and you need to join with a member.

(Many thanks to Timothy L Drobnick Sr for another great marketing system that helps so many people)

Google Rankings & The Keywords Meta Tag

I have mentioned this to new designers and SEOs at least a 100 times in the past few months. Now you can hear it directly from Matt Cutts mouth. Google just does not place weight on keyword meta tags unless it is a refined search. I would love if it was different, but it is not.

So, should you still add the Keywords Meta Tag?

Yes, you should. The keyword analysis process and placement of keywords in the meta tags is important to your learning and ranking process. Additionally, other search engines do use the Keywords Meta Tag , therefore you still need to add them correctly.

Our team is excited to report that The Payer Player PAID US!

THE PAYER PLAYER PAYS — HOW DID IT GO?TEAM SEND ME YOUR CHECKS!!!!

Partnered with the Big Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal) and Teamwork Makes The Dream Work, LLC, I joined The Payer Player a few months ago because of their promise to help people make money in this struggling economy with a hot communications mega hub called The Payer Player. It is supposed to revolutionize social media marketing and networking on the Internet.

We received our first Payer Player checks. It was not huge amount of money, though faster than most “social networks that pay” have pulled through over the past few months and we were paid more than expected. There are a ton of awesome features on The Payer Player, but the Mobile Chat, 10 Person Video Conferences, VOIP and the Live Broadcast features are the most popular; especially at only $10 a month.

WE THINK THIS IS A THUMBS UP BUT WE WILL HAVE TO SEE – Join The Payer Player and let us know what you think!

Looking forward to posting your Payer Player check on this blog … 

Sincerely,
Lea Charlton

Ubiee Green Nation: Citizen Network With Like Minded People From All Over The World

Join Lea Charlton in this Ubiee Enviro Project – Environmental Awareness / Wealth Building Project.  It breaks up the work and adds fun to your marketing. This is NOT MLM. This is NOT MATRIX. This is NOT CYCLER. This is a totally unique system that is based on “contributional marketing”. The best way that I can explain this system is to explain the environmental facet of the UBIEE Corporation. Every single “money maker” in this company was not designed just to help you start a solid business … that really does just come with every facet of this opportunity … there is a cause here… a pure motivation … of making a Global difference in our economies, professional / personal development and our environment. Hence the name of this project: UBIEE Enviro Project: It is an Environmental Awareness Wealth Building Program.

How do you know that this is not just “a load of crap”?

Well, I have been studying this company since January 2009. I have made money without even trying, and with VERY small investments per project type and the money comes back to me in the owner’s officially registered Currency (called The Futuro – TF). So, ideally, I am making back what I spent in TFs and now profits … but it gets better …

Most of all this is a VERY fun way to make some money, break up the work day and contribute to the enviro project.
Profits between ,10 and 6,40 euros each position. Give it a try – you’ll like it.
