Recession Proof Business, how is it possible?

Adding an online presence will not in and of itself help your business. Many companies have invested thousands of dollars and have failed to see any return. Many business owners have seen the fall off in response from phone book and newspaper advertising but the websites they built have not delivered either. These owners don’t believe the internet can help them. Sometime these owners have bought websites from the phone company. These sites are from the very people who are being killed by the internet. Don’t trust your marketing to people who really don’t understand web traffic.

80% of consumers do some sort of search on Google before making local purchases. Do you think the phone number and address of local businesses who offer the product shows up? Phone companies are beginning to stop printing white pages (also because of so many mobile phones) and more and more consumers are simply not looking at the business pages. Where is your phonebook?

Traditional Advertising Is Failing All Over The Country

There is a similar story for newspaper advertising. More and more people are getting their news online and forgoing getting newspaper delivery. There is a major shift that is already well underway.

These statistics are the same in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and other large cities. Your marketing must work around these changes that are going on. The problem with the websites made by phone companies and others is they don’t understand how a website attracts traffic. Just putting up a website does you no good at all.

People type the words for the things they are looking for into the search box. This has typically been on Google but more and more it is becoming Facebook as well. But wherever they do it, the matching pages that your business wants them to find has to match up. Not only that they have to be indexed and have other sites pointing to them. Google assigns trust to pages that have links from other pages (lots of links). These links are best if they contain the same keywords.

There is a quick look at why you want to be on the web but why your website may not be working. I invite you to visit Louisville Marketing at http://www.louisvillemarketinglabs.com and learn more.

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” –Henry David Thoreau

Most people have things reasonably good and just don’t question their lives. They don’t question what could be.

Our society has made life pretty good for us. It we just show up we can do quite well. And so it is that we do show up, get a job, get married, come home at night and watch TV or work the computer. We repeat the something the next day and just do not question what goes on in our lives. Earl Nightingale wrote about it in just this way in his “Strangest Secret” program.

As we come to the end of our lives and die, our friends gather round and say a few good things about us and we are gone. Sure we’ve had a little effect but that is all. We die with the song still in us.

But sometimes, something remarkable happens. There is a thing called the law of attraction. It is there all along but most of us don’t notice it or don’t believe it. The law of attraction is a means of attracting things into our lives. It is instinctive but as we live out our lives of quiet desperation we learn to forget about it in the same way we forget about Santa Claus. Just one of those things of childhood to put away as we grow up.

But as children we imagine, we see things we want to do, and we play as if it were real.

A friend of mine always wanted to be a writer and as a child she drew out typewriter keys on a box. Another friend setup a broadcast studio in his room and was a great broadcaster. For these two the childhood dreams didn’t end. They brought their dreams into the future and created careers for themselves.

The imaging as children and the compulsion to go out and make a typewriter or a broadcast studio are part of us. Most of us forget the process as we grow out of childhood. We learn to “believe it when we see it” instead of the childhood way of, “seeing it when we believe it.”

Learn to unleash the law of attraction once again in your life. Believe for the things you want before you see them. Belief is a necessary first step. I can’t tell you how long you’ll have to believe — only that the strong belief will attract an action plan that can bring it to fruition. The strong belief will carry you forward and take care of you while you achieve that thing within you, while you bring out the song.

You can wake up the law of attraction in your life. Reclaim your dreams by getting your free audio book of “The Science of Getting Rich.” This audio book is all about the law of attraction and you can get it free at: http://www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com

By Michael Griffin

The law of attraction reached public consciousness about 4 years ago with the release of Rhonda Byrnes “The Secret.” Many who had practiced the law of attraction considered “The Secret” a little thin, and accused it of being just a “feel good” piece. But the facts are is that “The Secret” did a great service in bringing the law of attraction so much attention.

How To Use The Law of Attraction

The law of attraction, in its simplest form, involves deciding with great clarity the thing that you want to attract and then following these steps.

1. Create a sensory rich vision of yourself, after you have obtained the object.

2. Note the ideas that come to you about the vision. This might be something that you should do or even someone you should talk to. This may take several sessions to happen but as you practice you will find this comes faster.

3. Take action right away.

Action, Action, Action

Do the thing that has come to you. If you don’t act on your vision when it comes to you then you are wasting your time with this entire exercise. Take action, it is that easy but the results won’t be instant. Often great things multi step. As you track these kinds of projects through you might make a chart and break out the steps as best you can. Then take each up in turn so you can progress through your project.

When using the law of attraction this way step 2 becomes critical. If you are visualizing such a project in step 1 then in step 2 you may see the project broken apart into smaller pieces. Next time you visualize start with the larger project and see yourself stepping out into your first step.

Journal Your Vision And Action Steps

It is important to journal all of this. Failing to do so will likely mean that you will fail to attract results even for the smallest project as your thoughts will stray. Using a journal before and after your visualization will keep you on track. This is an important secret that most people skip when using the law of attraction.

The Law of Attraction is at work in our world. The law of attraction works for everyone — is it being directed by you to bring the things you want to your life, or is it bringing you random results?

If you are running a small local business in say, “Louisville, KY” and you want to know how to get it ranked in search engines then you are in the right place. Of course you don’t have to be in Louisville, just substitute your location. In this article we are going to discuss local marketing and getting your business found so you can get more leads.

Local marketing is a way of getting a web presence and promoting your business. Yet many businesses go online and fail to see any benefit from their investment. Many businesses simply do not have the information and understanding either to promote their website or find suitable companies to do it for them.

Here is a key point: as you make your web pages be sure to include your address on every page, perhaps in the footer so it is natural looking. The reason for this will be seen later in the article.

Keywords are at the heart of any web marketing campaign. Keywords are the terms or questions that searchers type into the search engines in order to find your website. Your site content and the terms you are using in headlines and titles need to match up with this. There are several things to note about the keywords, 1st that they are being used by searchers and second that you can compete for them.

The first thing about keywords is, are they really keywords? We often assume that the way we think to find our site is good, but is it? You need to find out for your business what people are using to try to find you. You can do this with the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. To use it, you sign up for a free AdWords account with Google and then the tool is yours to use. This article does not cover it’s use but you can Google “using Google AdWords Keyword Tool” and find great references to it.

Combine these keywords with your city name, a suburb name, all sorts of Geo-Identifiers and publish information on your site and on the web. In each piece of content be sure to include your business name, address, city, state, phone, and website URL all listed in the same order, for example:

My Business

12345 My Street

Any-city, Any-State 55555

555-555-1212

MyWebsite.com

Include this in any content you make for your business, pages, articles, press releases, external feeder sites. Be sure to also use Geo Location words combined with your keyword to associate your business function with your city for example: Louisville Attorney, or Louisville Roofer.

Now go to Google places (use Google to find it) and setup an account. Put in all the pictures and videos that you can (you can add them later if you need to). The most important thing is put your business name, address, city, state, phone, and website exactly the same way that you have already done.

Google lets people review you, so get some customers to log into Google accounts and review you. Be sure they include your business name, address, etc, just like above, exactly the same way. Start getting 1 or 2 reviews a week and keep adding over time.

This is the heart of how to build your local presence. There are many more details and little things that are also important but this is the base of it all.

Local marketing means building online presence and branding, you can make your company stand out. Louisville Marketing Labs can add the secret sauce and bring more customers to your door and improve your online presence. I invite you to visit http://louisvillemarketinglabs.com and find out more.

In Search of Psoriasis Cures

Natural psoriasis cures are available and working for centuries.  It seems like our medical establishment doesn’t know about them.  As is done for many diseases the medical education system opts for miracle drugs that don’t work instead.

A couple of simple natural treatments are getting enough water; dehydration can cause psoriasis.  Another simple natrual psoriasis treatment is fish oil tablets.  They help clear up the dryness and itching of psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a skin condition that’s usually caused by skin cells reaching the surface faster than normal. You see, the skin has a regular cycle to turnover old cells and this lasts around a month or so in normal people. When someone has psoriasis though, the cycle is much quicker and causes an abnormal amount of flaking. It’s not a pleasant thing to deal with, as you can imagine.  For most people psoriasis cures seem elusive, but it doesn’t have to be that way as many natural cures are available.
