The amounts vary and clicking on the ads yourself is strictly prohibited.

Google also offers a free blog and so does you started. Affiliate marketing is another great way to make money by blogging.

Once you have completed your post, you send a link back to the company and if they accept your post, you will be paid. There may be certain guidelines to be approved, such as the amount of time your blog has been online, how many times you have posted in the last 90 days, and if it is indexed in search engines.

The most important thing to remember is to keep your target market in mind. If your blog is targeted to scrap booking enthusiasts, you will want to keep your ads focused to things that would appeal to them. Do not try to create a blog that appeals to the masses. If you have several different target markets in mind, it will be easier and more profitable to create several different blogs that cater to individual markets.

Google Best Search Engine Optimization (SEO)    by Ashok Sharma

The second part of this article will guide you through the important steps on how to on-page optimize sites in Google. If you have an existing site, use this as a reference to ensure that you are doing everything right. We review 5 more areas.

Keyword research, the beginning.
Start with 5-10 keyword phrases, create content, optimize, post, maybe publish… Why? Are you building an authority? Then, wait until you have at least 100 pages. Otherwise continue. But 5-10 pages at a time can go a long way towards an authoritative site. Remember, what works… takes work.

Keyword refinement, the outgoing.
Following the previous though. After your initial research, primarily of some data you have form various keyword tools, you need to rely on your web analytics to see how focused your optimization is based on your visitors. That is what “outgoing” means here. You need to look at this information, especially search engine and searcher behavior, and refine your optimization even further, for the cycle of your site.

The importance of content tagging.
This is basically bolding or italicizing of keywords phrases in content. Don’t overdue it. It is recommended to use it for user experience mainly. Doing it right will bring good benefits.

Article marketing and its impact.
Writing articles is a great way to add fresh content to your site that is worth linking to. Now, for a good optimization of the content, add your keyword phrase within the first 20 words, at the of the page. Optimize one main keyword phrase per page.

The return of the niche… and off course authority sites.
Sites within 3-12 pages known as “niche” are OK in Google. You don’t need to target or optimize every page, but you should have one page for every target key phrase you want to rank for. If you are after an authority type of site, then you need daily fresh content with 450-500 words a page. This content can be in the form of daily articles you can host and syndicate for your site. Also, a blog or forum is another great way to generate fresh content. This would acutely accommodate the accomplished acknowledgment on advance for the baby business buyer who best absolutely does not accept the time and money accessible to ambition "web design" and who wouldn't accept the manpower to booty advantage of the rankings alike if they were attained.

This is an acute archetype about it acutely illustrates that sometimes the byword with the accomplished cardinal of searches is not necessarily the best ambition for your business.

Add Another Time Management Skill to Your Self Development by Dr. Larry Baker, CSP

Add Another Time Management Skill to Your Self Development by Dr. Larry Baker, CSP

Put Power in the Voice-Mail Messages You Receive

You can add to your Time Management skills and techniques with better ways to use your voice-mail/answering machine. You can better capture the power it provides you and your callers.

The problem begins with the "greeting" message you leave for callers. Your message probably asks callers to leave their name and phone number; and it ends by stating you will call them back "as soon as possible" (ASAP). Therein, lays your problem.

Think of your "greeting message" on your v-mail/answering machine as your electronic professional secretary or administrative assistant. Make it a professional message, one that provides callers relevant information and requests the same from them.

Record "greeting messages" that state who the callers have reached and what day(s) your message is for; ask callers to state their phone numbers twice and, then, state the purpose of their calls. Avoid playing "telephone-tag" by stating times when you can return calls, and ask callers for the best times for you to return calls to them.

Always avoid using the words, "I'll call you back as soon as possible." Your ASAP statement is nearly useless because, typically, your callers have no idea what your ASAP means. Does your ASAP statement mean you will call back after you return from a two minute trip away from your office, a two hour meeting, a two day business trip or a two week vacation? Then, too, are you in the first or second hour of a two hour meeting, first or second day of a two day business trip or first or last day of a two week vacation? As you see, your ASAP adds nothing but uncertainty to your "greeting message"; it does not help your callers resolve the conflict between your availability and the urgency or deadline for their talking to you, or someone else in your company.

Change your "greeting message" at least daily; make it the first thing you do. State the day of the week and the date, so your callers know your message is current. If what you do day-in and day-out is receive and place phone calls, changes in your availability throughout the day may require changing your "greeting message" several times each day. Based on the nature of your business, your message may need, also, to state the person and number to call in case you're not being available creates an emergency or crises for you and/or your callers. Here's the point; make your "greeting message" do for you what a professional secretary or administrative assistant would do if answering your phone. Your callers deserve nothing less, nor do you and your company.

For illustration, here are two examples of messages used this month:

Hello, this is Dr. Larry Baker. This message is for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - November 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I'll be out of the office those days. Please leave your name, state your phone number twice, leave a detailed message and indicate a couple of times on Monday, the 6th, that would be good to return your call. I look forward to getting back to you.

Hello, this is DR. Larry Baker. This message is for Friday, November 10th; I am in the office today, but have stepped out for a few minutes; and I will be out to lunch from 12:00 to 1:30 P.M. please leave your name, state your phone number twice, leave a detailed message and indicate a couple of times to return your call. I look forward to getting back to you.

These messages are longer than you normally hear; but, don't you know more about your options? Isn't it better than when you are asked only to leave your name and phone number and are given the typical ASAP message? Caution: it is not wise to leave "greeting messages" on your home voice-mail/answering machine that describe how long you will be away.

Short-sighted callers may complain about your longer "greeting message"; but, most callers will appreciate knowing your availability. And, if the person you called believed it necessary for your mutual business interests for you to know who to call in an emergency, you would have been given contact information.

It is not a sin to have poor telephone skills and habits, but it is to keep them.

5 Tips for Dealing with Low Performance Teams by Duncan Brodie

5 Tips for Dealing with Low Performance Teams by Duncan Brodie

One of the biggest challenges you will face as a team leader is dealing with teams that are poorly performing or are considered to be low performance. Low performance teams are often stuck, not delivering on key outcomes, operating in a culture of blame and may even be in denial. So if you are the leader of a low performance team, what can you do about it?
Tip 1: Acknowledge performance issues

Too often, performance issues are swept under the carpet in the belief that they will go away. The first step of addressing performance issues is to get them out in the open. Create the opportunity for people to get all of their issues out in the open in a non judgemental way.

Tip 2: Identify some successes

No matter how it might seem to those in the team, there are likely to be successes being achieved day after day. Get the team to start to recognise and write down the successes that has been achieved collectively.

Tip 3: Get the team to identify improvement ideas

If you have a team that is regarded as being low performance there is little benefit in trying to impose solutions on the team and expecting them to all of a sudden change. Focus attention on getting the team to identify improvement ideas.

Tip 4: Create a space to deal with conflicts

Low performance teams can often have conflicts and as the team leader you need create space to deal with conflicts. It can also be helpful to have a way of recognising when conflict is showing up.

Tip 5: Take small steps


If a team is low performance and wants to improve, it is important not to be over optimistic about the speed or way in which change can be made. Get the team to take small steps and recognise the achievements and successes.

Bottom line- low performance teams can be tough to deal with and require a sensitive and structured approach from you as the leader. So what will you start doing differently?
