Goal Setting and Achieving Every person in the world devotes countless hours to thinking of their future and their present situation in life. Almost everyone wishes that there was something that they could change in their life. Whether it is their family life; their friendships; relationships or finances, everyone wants to change something. The first step to doing that is to set goals. However, many of us are great at trying to set goals; most of us are practically incapable of following through with them. Think about it. How many times have you decided on a course of action and simply didn’t follow through with it? That is pretty much the norm for most people. Sometimes even setting goals at all is the harder part of accomplishing any. The easiest way of looking at this is to think of each and every New Year. The largest part of New Year’s celebrations are not the parties and the gettogethers; it is actually in the resolutions. As much as we all like to attend and talk about New Years Eve parties, the most common source of conversation is the resolutions for the new year. All it really amounts too is code talk for new goals that need to be set. The only problem is that most of us set the same resolutions every year, and every year, we are unsuccessful. After all, if we were successful; why would we need to keep making the same resolutions year after year? This e-book was designed to teach you how to end the constant need to re-set the same resolutions every year. Basically this book will be your comprehensive guide to setting and fulfilling goals in every aspect of your life. When I say every aspect of your life, I mean every aspect of your life. Aren’t you getting tired of trying to set goals for yourself and always finding that you have to do it again almost every other month? That's Why I've Included My Goal Setting and Achieving Workbook that will teach you how to set goals in your life for:

Pick The Right Blog Niche Never-Before-Seen, step-by-step videos taken in my "home office" show you exactly how to research, quantify and then verify a profitable niche market for your business The number one reason online marketers fail is because they didn't take the time to select a profitable niche - BEFORE THEY START TO MARKET THEIR ONLINE BUSINESS. How do I know? Because I Made The Same Mistake! I was even foolish enough to make the same mistake more than once. Now the very first question that I ask when I'm coaching other small business owners is: "Have you found, quantified and verified a profitable niche?" It took me a while but after 120 profitable web sites in a variety of profitable niche markets I'm in a position to show you a fool proof way to … Overcome the #1 Reason Most Internet Marketers Fail I think the real reason so many new online marketers are struggling is that they rush through the most important part of the marketing process. In fact they actually go about getting ready to start marketing online the wrong way. Following the masses and using a traditional approach to your online business guarantees only one thing – failure. I'm assuming you're online for a reason. Perhaps you've read about other success stories and you want to get in on the action so you can get your piece of the pie... Wouldn't it be great If you knew exactly what to sell and that you'd be able to sell it... •

•

... before you commit to buying a domain name and creating a website!

•

... before you commit to spending a fortune on resale rights on a product that you don't own!

You get the picture? And let's be honest, you might have already done all of these things but can't seem to get things right. The fact is - If you don't know how find the right kind of profitable niche you'll spend more than money, you end up wasting your most valuable commodity - YOUR PERSONAL TIME. On the other hand, some online marketers have followed a system that lets them do things the right way, the first time. How can you tell? It's easy. Find someone who has a network of profitable sites that covers a particular theme or market and you'll have found someone that is using a "marketing system". They don't leave the most important work to chance, they know how much they'll earn BEFORE they do all the work.

The Key Finding A Profitable Niche Before You Start Marketing Online Is The Key To Any Online Marketing System What ever your situation is, having a hungry crowd of ready to buy customers asking for your help is what picking the right niche is all about. And who wouldn't want to find out if you were going to be successful before you did all the hard and expensive work. Wouldn't that be great! The bad news is that the major stumbling block remains "doing your homework first". You know you NEED a profitable niche, but you don't know how to get started - the right way. And the reason it's still a stumbling block is the lack of organized information. Until now no one has put together a comprehensive system that SHOWED YOU HOW to find, quantify and then verify your market the right way in the first place. I'm going to remove that last roadblock for YOU right now... How Would You Like To Get an "Online Selling Expert" with 120 Web Sites Under His Belt To Show You Exactly How He Decide Whether or Not He's Going To Enter A Market? My name is James Maduk.

networks and 20 years of sales and marketing experience, I've been helping folks just like you start and grow Internet businesses since 1997. I've created over 800 video training products that help tens of thousands of customer’s worldwide do just what you want to do. I don't say any of that to brag, but rather to let you know that I am very familiar with what it takes to setup and grow an Internet business. This "niche market" idea really is the missing link for most internet marketers. I mean, you simply cannot sell online without knowing WHO is spending money on what first. Since I usually try and add a new web site and product to my online business each week, I decided that I was going to put together a course that video taped the process I use to find, quantify and then verify a market before I get started with any of the traditional marketing activities. Better yet I'd narrate the video as I went along, so you would get all of your questions answered while I was doing what I was talking about. If someone watched the videos there would be no excuse for not having found a profitable niche market for themselves. I didn't want to go half way either. I wanted the videos so complete that there was no possible way someone could say they couldn't do the same thing after watching the videos. And because I've already done this hundreds of times, I'm in a position to show you exactly how to do it yourself. I'd be answering your questions for you ... before you even asked them. Who wouldn't want to watch those videos? If you were trying to build your first web site they would be extremely helpful, right?

Because there are so many different types of WordPress Sites now, it's hard to come up with a single definition. The web sites you see online change and evolve over time but at their core a majority of site you sell will be powered by the open source WordPress software. Most starting out as a personal journal - web pages or online entries with distinct chunks of information. You'll find they are usually organized by date from most recent to oldest. There are exceptions to every definition and that's certainly the case for blogs. Some weblog authors devote a page to every day; others organize them by personal categories. What usually remains consistent is the content of a blog. In most cases they contain short bursts of text sprinkled with newsworthy links and tidbits of information. Blogs are like a personal "readers digest" version of what the weblog owner thinks is important!

Video: RSS vs. Direct 2 Desktop Marketing

Duration: 15 Minutes Description: 12 Years ago I started Blogging. Now it seems that every marketer that's serious about building a business online is stating their own blog and the power of RSS feeds to improve their traffic and sales. With all the noise and excitement surrounding Blogging and RSS feeds, it seems that using this syndication method may be the only way to get in front of your valuable prospects and customers. Want more traffic? How About an easy way to distribute your news? Then you need an RSS news feed. To start all you need is content you want broadcast, and one RSS text file. What is RSS? Really Simple Syndication or Real Simple Syndication (RSS) is designed to share headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a snapshot of the "What's New Section" of your site. RSS solved a big problem for online marketers who were facing the prospect of declining open rates from their existing email marketing. Each RSS feed can contain a number of "content items" and can be broadcast directly to a newsreader or APP. Originally RSS was only available to software installed on your PC called a news reader. Pluck or awasu are two examples of windows versions. Today Smartphones and Tablets APP's are doing the same thing. Once stared blogging, visitors can use their news reader to subscribe to your feed. You can also register your feed with several aggregators such as Yahoo. Once a potential customer or other marketer subscribes to your feed or displays your feed on their web site new traffic will come your way. As you update your site, your RSS file, and all the external sites that subscribe to your feed will be automatically updated. Sounds, easy right? I'm starting to see a big problem and that's why I've started to use a APP Marketing approach. If you are like many other web surfers, you'll soon find that you have subscribed to multiple RSS feeds, each with up to 15 new stories screaming for your attention. As a marketer, RSS feeds will soon become crowded and you'll be forced to find another way to attract the attention of those important prospects, customers and subscribers.

Video: Avoid Blog Spam

Duration: 8 Minutes Description: I've been blogging on and off for almost 12 years now and a year since I wrote the book Blogging Secrets. Until now I haven't had reason to be concerned, until this month when I noticed something. The same text entry in two different blogs. Why is that a concern you may ask??? Because with all the hype around blogging and big claims being made about how it's going to change the way we sell our goods and services online it looks like some poorly informed marketers are making the cardinal sin. Blogging the right way can increase your traffic. Blogging the right way can get you listed in Yahoo and Google faster and.... If you don't know how to blog, or worse yet don't understand the purpose of blogging to sell, blogging can be a big waste of time. The identical text that I saw in two different marketers blogs were affiliate ads that were simply pasted into the blog. Word for word the text was identical. These affiliates had taken the copy provided to them by the product owner and added them as blog entries - as if they had written the text themselves. Blogging is not email marketing for affiliates. This is Blog Spam! I expect we'll see a ton Blog Spam coming our way from lazy marketers who just don't get it! The nice part is that a single click of the mouse removes all this Blog Spam from our news readers. Bloggers who create crappy content pay the ultimate price no traffic and no readers subscribed to their news feeds.

Cpanel Hosting Basics Details Just the idea of hosting can be a bit overwhelming for beginners. Most people think that you have to hire an expensive company to handle their WordPress hosting services. However, the simple truth is that if you decide that you want to make changes to the way you and your WordPress Blog interact with the web learning a bit about cPanel (the industry standard control panel for any hosting account) you can easily make those changes with very few problems. Your WordPress Blog has three main ingredients: 1. The WordPress software and database that creates powers the Blog. 2. The domain name (which should be keyword rich and represent you and your business). 3. And a place for the WordPress files and database to reside (a web server – basically a computer attached permanently to the internet). Your challenge after making sure that you have some basic idea of what type of site and/or business you want to run is, to get WordPress installed and configured on web server with a dedicated domain name to install it on. There are a few ways you can do this. •

You could hire someone else to all that work for you. HINT It costs an arma and a leg if you choose this method.

•

You could register a domain name, open up a generic shared hosting account and then try and install, configure and design a site with WordPress yourself. HINT this is inexpenseive in terms of $$$$$ spent.. BUT for those who are not so technically savvy, the TIME wasted and trial and error attempts required to find the RIGHT way to get WordPress working the WAY you want WILL be a difficult process that may simply be not worth the hassle.

•

or... Just open up a Managed WordPress site with Full Contact and get a free domain name, free Managed WordPress Hosting, and all the support and education you want after your site is created

If you have no idea about how to design your website or if you aren’t as good with computers FullContact Managed WordPress is a great time and money saver. Everything you need to get started is included. 140

Chapter -Cpanel Hosting Basics Details

If you choose to instead go with a generic shared web hosting service, consider that they what they offer in price will be severly comphremised by their lack of knowledge and technical support of WordPress. As well you'll find there are thousands of companies to sort through. Some offer free services, some offer free software and features that can improve your site, and some offer slightly more expensive services that give you more space and more bandwidth. Some meay even offer free hosting, but look out for one of the biggest problems... With free services you may find that your customers will have to enter a very long name before they ever get to your site name, such as: http://www.freewebsitesandstuff.com/clients/yourcompanyname. You could, though, go with another type of free host service. With these, you purchase your domain name, and they host your site for free, provided you allow them to run their advertisements on your page. Most people prefer to spend a couple of bucks a month to avoid this, however, since you should be making money from your own ads, rather than sending your traffic away. There are other, more expensive web hosting companies, and in order to choose the right one for you, you should consider their package deals carefully. The best option, as far as we’re concerned, is to let an expert take care of WordPress and all the technical hassles that you WILL run into if you decide to do things on your own.
