Words
Please start with: Bring in the Money 1.
When you talk internet marketing you are talking about words. Go to any search engine and try to put in a picture. You were not very successful, were you?
As I am busy typing this, the song: “Words, don’t come easy to me”, comes to mind. Don’t crucify me if it is not the name of the song and just a line in it. I’m human, we all may mistakes.
Search engines need words to track other websites. We call it keywords. This is one of the reasons why a niche is important. The keywords will all direct you to the specific product. If you type the word fruit in the search engine you will get grapes, peaches, oranges, lemons, watermelons, figs, et cetera. Type in summer fruits and you won’t find oranges in your list. Then type in grapes and you will get the different variants of grapes, not watermelons. Can you see how important words are?
While researching your niche, you will have to type in different words or phrases into your search engines to be able to see if there is a demand for your product, like it is or in some other form. Say people need websites; do they go for websites where they just need to put in the finishing touches or do the most of them want to start from scratch. You will need different words and/or phrases for the one or the other.
Before we go any further I will have to choose your niche now. If you have not, stop. This is very important because you need to try out the process practically; why waste time if you can try it out on your actual niche.
Search engines will give you results but if you want to know how many times people used a specific word or phrase for a month you need some other program that would give you a more accurate picture. Two programs come to mind. These services allow us to enter keywords to see the greater picture. You will know exactly how many times the word or phrase has been used in search engines for a specific month. You will also get related words or phrases and its results.
1. Overture: This service is free. If you don’t have many to spend now, go for it. The problem is, with the searches done by humans, it will also give you searches done by computers and algorithms. It can complicate things a bit, because we are interested in searches done by humans only. For a start it should be okay; but when you’ve made some money, use the other service to refine your keywords.
2. Wordtracker: This is a subscription service. You will only get results of searches done by humans. This is what we’re looking for. The more times the people entered the specific word or phrase in a search, the better for you. After you have signed up and logged in:
a. Click keyword universe
b. Enter your keywords in the text area on your left. Think of your niche. In this case it will be websites or whatever you have chosen.
c. Refine your search. A whole list of words related to websites will appear. What is the actual product that you are marketing? Find it and click on it. Keep on refining until you get to your specific niche with the specific keywords fitting.
d. Although I said it is good if people have entered a specific word or phrase more, this is the time to narrow it down. Would you want to compete in a niche with one million clicks a month or one thousand. With a thousand you’ve got a better change of getting your website ranked higher.
e. Built a list with up to ten keywords.
I’ve got to run. Next time we are going to talk about spiders, links and ranks.
See you and God bless.

Finally, a way out.
When you’ve been out of a job for several years you kinda get desperate and you would try anything just to be able to put bread on your table. Believe me, it is the most difficult thing in the world not to know where the next meal will be coming from.
Yes, I do believe that God is my Provider and He has not let me down thus far. Every time I thought that tonight we’re going to sleep hungry He would come through for us as a family. Sometimes I would ask myself why do I have to be so dependant on Him. He would answer that it is the only way that I’m going to keep the faith so that I can be a testimony for Him.
When you don’t have money to buy clothes, food or pay your bills you don’t want to be a witness for any one. Yet, when you think about the miraculous ways in which He provided and still is, for you, you just have to be a witness. Some people just don’t understand that at all.
I know that there will be people out there who reads this and say: “Just another one of those mad so-called Christians that wants to shove their believes down our throats”. Believe me, if I had a choice, I would just let you be, but with Him in my corner I can’t. just have to tell you, even when this was not the reason why I started this article.
The reason why I started this article was to talk about my struggles to get to a place where I did not have to worry about the next bread. Yes, He provided for me but I still had to get to a place where I did not want to worry. About two years back I stumbled upon the term affiliates on the internet. When I started to read more I told myself, god is finally going to take me out of my financial woes.
Was I wrong. Everybody made it sound so easy, just click here, then there and whallah, the money is on its way to your bank account. Nobody was honest enough to tell you that you need a credit card to access certain items. Everybody would say you don’t need a product or money to start an affiliate business.
They were and are right, that is if you just want to sign up as an affiliate. You would only find out later that you need a website to market those things. When somebody does not know the internet and is desperate to make some money you just jump in and try to pick up more information later.
With no food in your home you want to see a check by the first payday that comes around for the company your are an affiliate for. Yes, you are so desperate that you are stupid. Where did you ever hear that you can make money without investing money.
For two years I tried to find a way to make money without any success. I had no program running because there just was no money. Without a regular income your first priority is to see to your family’s immediate needs. Things just got worse as time went by. I got to a point where only a miracle could carry my family, and it happened day after day.
Last year I downloaded quit a few free e-books because my dream was to market e-books. I just kept on downloading them without reading any.
Then, in January of this year I opened one of the books and started to read. My miracle has arrived; actually it arrived last year some time already. I started to read the book with disbelieve but had a few campaigns running before I got to the end. Listen hear, I did not have to pay a cent except for my internet connection. The only other investment that I had to make was lots of time. I’m still busy even as I write this article.
The skill to write articles did not come naturally to me and my home language is not English, but know that God has given the miracle into my hands I’m going to work and work until I have refine it. Today it is not about how good my writing is; it is about getting the word out.
There is a way out. God bless you.

Wow! So Easy.
Well, there are times in our lives that we know we should have given more attention at school. I was one of those who passed every year but achieved no grades to brag about.
Although I passed my senior exam I had to make a special application to be allowed to attend university part time. Did one semester, trying to attain a B-degree in administration. Industrial psychology 101 was okay but Public Administration was really and truly not for lazy guys.
Understand me, to sit down and work is one thing (I can spend hours working on a computer) but to study is entirely another.
I used all the excuses in and out of the book not to finish my studies; 1990 was a time of turmoil in South Africa, so I had a great excuse why I could not complete my studies. Furthermore, I had no car of my own. A married man needs to spend more time with his family, plus, plus, plus. The real reason, I could not study.
Today people will give you a manual for each and everything. Are manuals difficult to understand or are they difficult to understand?
When my friend told me about online trading, one of the reasons that I took so long to jump in was the fact that I thought, not another difficult manual. He tried to convince me that it is the easiest thing he did in a long time and I thought, yeh right. Although I knew that he did not know anything about trading, I knew that he loves reading.
Eventually, when I tried Forex trading, I could kick myself. It is so easy, if you can master reading, you can trade on Forex. No other system is as easy. Let me put it like this, if you can’t read, and your 10 year old can master reading in English, you can trade online.
Jump in today, click here, you will not regret it in a million years. The only regret you will have is that you did not believe me.
Forex is definitely the way to go. Please post your comments to my blog.

Born to be poor! Maybe not.
Yes, with my luck I started to think that I was doomed to die poor. I’m 47 and believe me; I’ve tried so many schemes in my lifetime that I stopped counting. At a younger age I had my fair share of pyramid schemes. I never lost a lot of money but losing money- who can afford it?
Then the internet arrived with all its promises. I thought that learnt my lesson (no, lessons is the correct word). So many offers to make money easily and quickly. Buy this e-book or order that program. Try this affiliate program or send 10 000 emails. More than 50% of my hard drive is filled with e-books and programs to drive traffic to a website.
The only people that made real money were those who sold the e-books and made the promises. So, understand me, when a friend of mine came to me with yet another way to make easy money, I, not to hurt his feelings, listened without real interest. Can you blame me? The only thing I remembered was trading and something about Forex.
Well, he is not stupid and could see that I was just sparing his feelings. Three months later he came to me again but this time he did not say a word. He just put all the evidence on the table for me to read, printouts from the computer and his bank account to show me his gains.
This time he really got my attention. He started to tell me about trading on the internet. I stopped him in disbelieve because, like me, he was not supposed to know anything about trading.
Are you involved in dirty dealings? Please promise me that you will immediately stop, before it’s too late. I got so nerves that I started to sweat.
He started to laugh and told me about Forex and how you don’t have to know anything about trading. Forex will take you by the hand and lead you so to speak.
Once bitten twice shy, that was me after all the failures of many years. It took me another 3 months and more prove before I made my move.
Today, I can kick myself for waiting so long. Please, don’t make the same mistake; you will lose out on a lot of money. Act today and click here. I would like to hear from you again. Go to my blog and leave your comments.

American Dollars for non Americans
The economy…….. Don’t you even start. I don’t know much about markets. Why does the oil price go up or down? Why is the price of gold $870 an ounce today and $908 tomorrow? Why will it be $700 by next Wednesday?
Please don’t ask me.
The only thing I know is that when the oil price goes up, I will pay more for food, transport (public or my own), clothes, interest rates goes up.
In my country, South Africa, I know that those things does not come down with the oil price except maybe for the interest rates. Okay, your private transport costs will also come down with the oil prices but not public transport.
While I’m busy typing this the news is on TV. One of the things that caught my attention is that the IMF says that the economic growth will only be 0.5% this year. Another thing is that 51 000 000 (yes, I wanted to write it out, 51 million) jobs will be lost this year according to a UN Agency.
Will you be one of those losing their jobs this year? People just returned to work after the Christmas holidays and already people are talking about retrenchments. I believe that this is happening world wide.
Recession is the word that crops up everywhere. From the United States of America to Japan, South Africa to Hong Kong, everyone is having difficult financial times. Banks need help, what about me, who’s money is supposed to be save in the bank?
Job security is something of the past. Some companies even sacrifices experienced people to save money.
Some countries will struggle to return to “normal” after all of this is over. Shame, if your president’s name is Mugabe, you have no hope at all. 94% of the Zimbabweans are jobless at the moment.
So why would you want to earn American Dollars? Most countries’ currencies, South Africa is definitely one of them, are linked to the American Dollar. The one thing that I’ve noticed is that whenever there is a crisis, our Rand will weaken against the American Dollar. Therefore it makes sense to me to try and get some dollars.
Now it is not that easy at all to get hold of dollars. The systems to use in trading are all too complex, or so I thought, until I tried Forex trading. Now I just know I don’t have to know much about economics. All that I need to know is that my money is growing steadily, and that I’m getting into some American Dollars.
Forex really made it easy for me.
