New Business Resources

Have you ever gone down a list of resources for 'make money', 'investing' and 'business start up' only to find that the good ones are gone? Here are a few friends I've made over the summer. Each one has taught me something.

Learn how to start an email marketing campaign that works - for less than $100. www.waystogetnoticed.com is full of articles to help you build an email list, and market emails. This isn't another email list generating company or an affiliate website. The owner of this site actually owns an email marketing host site. He teaches the 'inside' info on email marketing.

Marc S. is a creative director in a NY advertising agency. He has three websites. If you want a NY ad agency to make your logo, website or help with a marketing campaign then visit www.virtualadagency.com, if you have a new business and want to network
www.scrappyupstarts.com , and if you want the inside scoop on advertising then visit www.madisontomain.com.

Learn more about blogging and making money online at the wealthy-writer website. Find Resources, Reviews, and News. The website was 'down' for the summer but it is back up now.

If you want to learn the 'ins and outs' of investing in Forex, property, or stocks without feeling pressured to buy, then visit www.getrich.net. Ray has a great website with more than 100 articles to help you learn 'how to invest smart.'

These will help you get started. If you want to follow me, I am SmBiz99 at twitter.

New Logo Design

I bought a new logo design from www.virutaladagency.com I'll let you see it when ready. I find that a good logo is the most imporant part of an advertising campaign. When I get it finished, I'll post it here for everyone to see.

We are tearing the walls down on our house. I can look right out the walls in some places. I have no storage. I can't wait until the insulation is done and we have drywall gain. Then I'll feel like I am living in a house.

Spring ??

I feel really weird in my office in the spring. First, it smells like outdoors. But, when I look around the room is filled with plastic plants. It is almost surreal, I smell plants but they are not real. Some times it takes a couple of seconds to make the connection. My silk flowers were expensive. I thought they would be non-allergenic.

Technorati Favorits

If you want to help promote friends, then consider 'faving' their blogs on technorati. This is a good tool. Not as good as Stumbleupons web page feature which lets viewer see a full page of your website as a 'view' (you won't see these people in your stats.)But, it is good for promotion.

It also helps promote your technorati by giving you more content and a better read. The problem with most writers is that they write on writing and making money as writers - whether they are doing well or not. I recently talked to one person who wanted to know why their blog 'successful writing' was not making money. I asked how long she had been a writer. Her answer - 3 weeks.

If you want to promote, work with people who are accustomed to promoting. If you want to write - then write about something you know.

Increase Technorati Rank

What is Technorati authority? It is the number of blogs that link to your website in the last six months. Many new blogmasters believe they can increase their Technorati rank by linking dozens of times between different blogs. This doesn’t work.

Technorati only gives 1 to each blog linking – not the number of links.

A blogmaster needs at least 3000 different websites to link to their blog – in the last six months- to reach the top 100 on the Technorati list. Of course, the number one way is to get people to link to your blog – but this is not easy. Telling people that they may put an excerpt of your blog on their site will work – but this will not build 3000 links.

There is a good reason why you need to build your Technorati rank. First – it brings up your Alexa rank because many people who use Technorati have the Alexa toolbar.

One of the most popular methods of increasing Google rank is to build 50 – 100 blogs and create your own network. Within weeks you have 500 legal links, and PR3. This will also increase your Technorati rank and using ‘duplicate content’ will also keep the relevance. (remember to only promote one blog so it earns high PR… creating a link farm will not work)

Claim your blogs on Technorati.

You can purchase links (legally) through forums:

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=58 Just be careful. The problem is that you can’t please everyone. You cannot increase your Google and Technorati ranks. You need to chose which is most important to you. As for me? I get very little of my 4m hits a year from Google, so it doesn’t bother me whether Google likes my links or not.
