Dear readers,

My good friend Jack Spirko wrote an awesome blog post today about how to do search engine optimization for wordpress blogs.  He talks about plugins to use. He gives you some tips on how to get links, and also some tips on how to turn your blog posts into cash.

If you are a blogger or podcaster or are thinking about setting up a home business you’ll want to read Jack’s post.  He gives a lot of solid advice on why you need a blog and how to make money from that blog.

I’d also like to recommend another article on SEO for WordPress by Yoast (Joost de Valk). Yoast is a WordPress plugin developer who has a lot of expertise in SEO.

Do I practice what I preach? I wrote my book Nichework Marketing  about the importance of blogging for your business. I also recently converted my Custom Greeting Card Guy web site from a traditional web site to a WordPress powered site. I’m using many of the same plugins Jack and Yoast talk about in their articles on WordPress SEO and my site ranks very well (top 3) for a bunch of keywords on Google.

Check out the articles above on Search Engine Optimization for WordPress (SEO) and let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to help!

Dear Readers,

Do you make cold calls?

Or do you have prospects calling you first?

Yesterday I get a phone call early in the morning. I actually woke up to take the call (I work for myself from home so I don’t use an alarm clock unless I have a meeting or am traveling.)

I answer the phone and it is a guy cold calling me to sell me some social media system.

Hello? Really?

He’s selling a social media system but he is calling me on the old fashioned telephone to prospect me?

Ironic.

I won’t go into too much detail about the call. I don’t want to offend anyone but it was really funny to me that someone cold calls me offline to sell me a system to market using social media online.

• Why isn’t he using the system he is trying to sell me?
• If he was doing so well in social media, wouldn’t he be able to attract people to him?
• Wouldn’t he be connecting to prospects on social media platforms?
• Wouldn’t other prospects be seeing his success and willingly calling him first to find out how he is doing it?

Be wary of gurus selling you a system they aren’t even using!

You see this guy was a smoke and mirrors guy. He sells you a system for social media because he knows social media is hot. He actually doesn’t understand social media and doesn’t know how to market on social media.  This is also why he is selling this system.  He may not even know if it works. He just knows this is a hot topic and even a bad salesman can find a few gullible people to buy a system from him because social media is hot.

What I teach in my Nichework Marketing webinars (there is a webinar today at 1 PM Eastern.) is to get prospects calling you.  It starts with finding your niche.

This guy’s niche was social media but he had less than 500 followers on Twitter. I couldn’t even find a Facebook fan page for the guy. (And he’s selling a social media course!)

If he picked a niche and did a better job of positioning himself as an expert, he’d have had a lot of people calling him.

He approached me by claiming to be a distributor in my company… yet I never heard of him. You see I AM one of the top distributors in my company. I knew he was lying.

If he was telling the truth… If he was a top distributor in our company… He would have a lot of people asking him how he did it.  People would call him and ask to learn his secrets.

If you’d like to know more about finding your network marketing niche, and positioning yourself as an expert so prospects call  you first…. Join me for a free webinar, every Wednesday where I teach the basics of “Nichework Marketing”.

Dear Readers,

Have you read my ebook Nichework Marketing yet?

Next week I’m hosting a free webinar on finding your niche.

In my book, Nichework Marketing, and on these webinars I talk about the importance of finding a niche when marketing yourself online.

One reason is the search engines love niche web sites. Another reason is to distinguish yourself from all of the other distributors in your company.

These free webinars will explain:

• WHY you want to find your niche
• HOW to find your niche
• TOOLS I use to do my research
• EXAMPLES you can use to start your own niche
