The FARMER is a wise old S.O.B.

Today, I have an INVALUABLE lesson for you

It's not one that many will have the EYES nor the EARS to grasp.

It goes something like this...

Around the country and around the globe, there are FARMERS.

All kinds of farmers

Corn, strawberries, milk & cheese, goats, horses, fruits & vegetables

The FARMER is a wise old S.O.B.

He knows that he needs a few things in his arsenal in order to make
his crops grow and become beautifully bountiful

Such as...

* Sun

* Rain

* Seeds

* Dirt

* Maybe a little fertilizer

And how about....

* Patience

Do you think the 'Old Timer has learned to be PATIENT?

Indeed he has.

For the 'Old Timer knows that he can't plant a SEED today and
expect a CROP tomorrow.

Nor can he plant just ONE seed and expect a harvest.

No, No, No, my friend

The 'Old Timer needs THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of little seeds to be
sprinkled amongst the dirt so they can take root amongst the mighty
forces of Mother Nature.

Then and only then

Can he be sure his CROP will withstand the passage of time.


"Holy Crap, this KID is talking some TRUTH"

"Shut Up Margaret, this KID is on a roll... let him ROAR"


So you might be asking yourself...

"I don't give a HOOT about farming, raising crops or cows, I
just want to make money damn it, show me how to do it".

Ok, I will.

Congratulations

You're now a FARMER yourself.

Tomorrow, you begin by planting SEEDS.

(Because the 'Old Timer knows that without SEEDS there will be NO Crops. And
if there's NO CROPS, then there's NO SALE at the auction barn. And if there's
NO SALE at the auction barn, then there's NO CHECK paid to the 'Old Timer. And
if there's NO CHECK paid to the 'Old Timer, then his wife gets pissed off at
him and screams "Whatta you been doing all this time, pretending to be a FARMER"?)

The equations are simple:

SEEDS = LEADS

LEADS = PROSPECTS

PROSPECTS = ENROLLMENTS

ENROLLMENTS = CHECK

CHECK = A Happy Farmer


Next time, we go into further details over the above 5 equations.

So hang on there young Farmer,

the FUN is just getting started.

TheTrafficHut: How To Make An Effective Blog Post

A good blog post should be between 300-500 words so that

there is enough search engine "content" for their "spiders" which

come to look at your blog.

You should always make sure that you "ping" your blog after every

time you make a new entry or post. You can do this at pingoatic.com

This tells the search engines to come by and check out your new content.

Your blog post should also be use any "hyperlinking" tool provided in

the html symbol area. This helps you get "backlinks" for the keywords

you want to "rank" for in the search engines. And you shoud be

targeting "long tail keywords" like "powerful blog post" vs just "blog"

Why? There is a lot of competition for the keyword "blog" and your chances

of showing up on the 1st page of google is slim to none.

The symbol you are looking for is that blue ball with an inverted or

horizontal 8 below it.

You first hi-lite the phrase or keyword you wish to target. Then click on that

blue ball with the horizontal 8 below it and a new screen will come up.

Then insert the URL of the website you want associated with that keyword

to come up in the seach engines and get the backlink to.

And last but not least, the subject or subjects you choose are important to whether you

will gain a following who constantly come back to your blog or forget it.

You achieve this by giving them valuable and useful information they can use to

make their business successful.

DO NOT something like "My XYZ Company is the best MLM company, It has the greates products

and it pays commissions that are higher than any other company. These types of posts are

very common and do not provide real value to the reader.

An effective blog post must provide valuable information to the reader so as to insure loyalty.

The objective is to become an authority "figure" in your field of endeavor.

You want your Blog "TO BE THE PLACE" where people go to get answers on the

subject you are an authority on.

How to get people to your blog

Here's a secret you should know, people will only come to read your blog and continue to receive your posts IF you provide value. You have to provide content that is either interesting, funny, or well-written, thought-provoking CONTENT.

There's that word again... CONTENT. Your sales page is NOT content. It's a sales page. You can find sales pages everywhere you turn. You don't want a sales page. You want to know ME. You want to know who I am, what makes me special, and why you should stay connected with me.

Once you figure those things out, you MIGHT want to see what opportunity I'm working or maybe you don't. But the truth is, you're not going to buy from me if all you see is a sales page.

Sorry if that seems harsh. But you've been told (were you listening?) that people do business with people they know, like and trust. A sales page isn't enough to make me know those things, but it is enough to make me know that if you don't give me more, I WON'T do business with you.

You've got to build your list. With a list, you build trust. With trust between us, you can show me what you're doing and I just might want to try it too.... because I know, like and trust you.
