			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/My-updated-profile.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-614" title="My updated profile" src="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/My-updated-profile-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
Yes, I know you have heard it over and over, but the money<strong> IS </strong> in your personal contact list. What&#8217;s even more important, is building a personal relationship with your list.</p>
<p>If  you&#8217;re new to Internet marketing, this is where you need to begin.</p>
<p>Depending on the type of business you have, you may have many lists targeting specific groups of people based on their interests. Once a person is on your list, you are able to contact and market to them for years to come.<br />
For instance, If  someone comes to your website, they may be interested in what you have, but not ready to commit or purchase. Once they leave, they may never come back again. But if you have captured their name and  e-mail, you will have a second, third,fourth and a fifth opportunity to talk to them again.<br />
Your autoresponder becomes your <em>most important tool</em> for your business, so choose it wisely.<br />
I recommend <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://basta.goGVO.com " target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff;">GVO </span></a></strong></span>or <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://aweber.com/?218177 " target="_blank">aWeber</a>.</p>
<p><strong>So here are some ways that you can build multiple lists for your business.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Capture / Squeeze page</strong><br />
Create a page can offer them a gift (ebook, software, or newsletter) that would appeal to your target audience . Any easy to do newsletter could be &#8220;tips on ______&#8221;   This page will ask for the name and e-mail and be connected to your favorite autoresponder with a series delivering a &#8220;tip&#8221; a day or week.</p>
<p><strong>Create a Blog</strong><br />
Having a blog related to your niche is one of the most effective ways of building a list. I recommend that you use WordPress or Blogger if you want to keep it very simple.<br />
When people sign up for your blog you know that they are interested in that topic. And you will be able to market to them</p>
<p><strong>Opt in form on your website or blog</strong><br />
offer  a &#8220;gift&#8221; in the upper right-hand corner of your site in exchange for their naming e-mail. This will be connected to your auto responder.</p>
<p><strong>Article Writing</strong><br />
Writing short articles on your niche topic and submitting to article directories like EzineArticles, can be very effective. Be sure that you&#8217;re only links are in the resource box at the bottom of the article.  Send them to your capture page.</p>
<p><strong>Groups and forums</strong><br />
Join groups and forums  related to your niche. Never promote your product directly, but puts your link in your signature.</p>
<p><strong>Safe lists, downline and lead generation programs</strong><br />
Although you don&#8217;t always have direct access to the person&#8217;s  e-mail, belonging to these programs enables you to have contact with a large group of people.  Again, focus on getting their contact information rather than selling a product<br />
.ie<strong><em> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://listjoe.com/j/LBasta" target="_blank">List Joe</a></em></strong> is a great safelist.<br />
<strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.tripleyourlist.com/index.php/basta" target="_blank"><em>Triple Your LIst</em></a></strong> send you 3 contacts on a regular basis, totally free.<br />
<strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://SecondIncomeOnline.info" target="_blank"><em>And Second Income Coach</em> (SIC)</a></strong> is a great lead builder</p>
<p><strong>Pop-up Capture Page</strong><br />
Although we all find them very annoying, it has been shown to greatly increase the conversion<br />
rate over a simple opt in form.</p>
<p><strong>Social networks</strong><br />
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and SoKule are gold-mines for your contact list.  Join  groups, make friends, develop relationships.  Then attempt to get their contact information.  On Facebook Fan pages, you are even able to have opt in forms right on your page. (<strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://lujure.com" target="_blank">Lujure.com</a> is an awesome service to help you build terrific fan pages on the new Timeline.)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Renting or purchasing  targeted lists</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Viral list building programs</strong><br />
<strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.5iphon.com/?ref=29844" target="_blank">Siphon</a></strong> and <strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://listoutbreak.com/index.php?aff=2316 " target="_blank">List Outbreak</a> </strong> programs that can help you build a list very quickly in Internet marketing niche.<br />
I highly recommend them</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hope these ideas have help you get started building a massive list.<br />

<p>You hear a lot of mentors telling us the importance of <strong>Backlinks</strong> in promoting you website.. Just what are backlinks?</p>
<p><strong>Backlinks.</strong>..also known as incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links, <strong>are incoming links to a website or</strong> <strong>web page</strong>.   In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node.</p>
<p><strong> Their significance lies in search engine optimization (SEO)</strong>. The number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page. ( This is used by Google to determine the PageRank of a webpage). Outside of SEO, the backlinks of a webpage may be of significant personal, cultural or semantic interest: they indicate who is paying attention to that page.<br />
Search engines often use the number of backlinks that a website has as one of the most important factors for determining that website&#8217;s search engine ranking, popularity and importance.</p>
<p>In simple language&#8230; When you comment on someones blog or website and give <em>your </em>website, that is a backlink.  It is also i0mportant to note that the more popular that host website is, the more weight it will carry and the better for you. so it is to yur advantage to leave comments on the &#8216;bigger&#8217; more popular sites.</p>
<p>There are 2 sites that deserve your attention if you are interested in getting more backlinks.<br />
The first is <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.socialmonkee.com/index.php?af=43526 ">Social Monkey</a>.  This is a great little program that teaches you the importance of backlinks as well as setting you up to start getting them on a regular basis. It&#8217;s free to join, and you can <em>earn </em>an upgrade if you like to benefit even more. Do check it out.</p>
<p>The second resource is watching this video by Richard Legg for some terrific tips on using this whole backlink concept to gets a ton of free traffic to your site right away.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://richardlegg.s3.amazonaws.com/freebacklinks/index.html">http://richardlegg.s3.amazonaws.com/freebacklinks/index.html</a><br />
<strong>PS-</strong>-<em>If you are interested in the follow-up training he mentions at the end of the video&#8230;email me right away and I will send it to you.</em><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="lindabasta1952@gmail.com"> LindaBasta1952@gmail.com<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!  <a href="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/My-updated-profile.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-614" title="My updated profile" src="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/My-updated-profile-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
We just had a great training on our<strong> Second Income Coach</strong> power hour tonight.<br />
Steve did his usual explanation of SIC and what makes it an outstanding funded marketing system, and the Janet gave us an overview of a Skype add on program called <strong>Message Magic.</strong><br />
Wow! What a terrific program. I&#8217;ve been an inactive member for months, but never really tool a look at what has been available to me.  I love using skype for both business and personal messaging, and my contacts have grown consistently, but now I am able to explode my list of contacts is a very short time with little effort.  I can add whole chat rooms to my list with just a couple of clicks.   I can target people with specific interest all over the world, Message Magic translates so easily. Now I can send a message to all of my contacts at once, OR  to specific groups I have created.<br />
Just think of the potential for getting the word out for your product or business.<br />
But&#8230; remember Skype and Message Magic are still for building relationships.  Don&#8217;t SPAM. It&#8217;s so rude. People hate it when they get a &#8216;Hello! Here&#8217;s my link&#8217; or &#8216;Join my company&#8217;.  Make friends, ask questions, show concern, network with people.  They&#8217;ll eventually will ask you what <em>you</em> are in to.<br />
Hope you&#8217;ll take a look.  Get the free version, take a good look , and then you&#8217;ll want to  upgraded to make full use of this fantastic tool. Watch the 10 minute video to get the full story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><a href="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/color-photo-of-me.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-221" title="color photo of me" src="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/color-photo-of-me-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>TotallyTweetable.com is one of those WOW sites that looks like it has been the brainchild of some very serious marketing minds. I am very impressed.</p>
<p>It is combining the powerful concepts of member based email marketing and combines it with some powerful viral techniques, including Social Media and blogging.</p>
<p>You are not in any way required to take the upgrades to get the benefits of the site. However, they do multiply the benefits out by a few hundred times , plus the fee is pretty small for the extra exposure you get.</p>
<p>What a concept.<br />
The world of marketing online has been dying slowly for a while now as people are fed up with &#8216;opting in&#8217; and getting mail boxes filled with Spam.</p>
<p>So this system takes the traditional email marketing and modernizes it and then blows the roof of your exposure by adding in a pretty neat VIRAL twist.</p>
<p>This benefits WHATEVER you promote.<br />
No matter if it is a Clickbank product, a matrix, an MLM or ANYTHING. Even Google ad words and &#8216;traditional&#8217; style of marketing can reap huge benefits from this site.</p>
<p>You get to tap into the power of hundreds of active twitter accounts, and blog readers and send your message across the entire network.</p>
<p>There has never been another site that does this that I have ever seen. It is being hailed as &#8216;Social Evolution&#8217; where by you can almost &#8216;share&#8217; the social media connections of others. In fact&#8230; I think it is going to be HUGE.</p>
<p>My vote is that this site is going to put a lot of money in my pocket over the years to come.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The power of being able to reach out to people is not to be overlooked&#8230; The system makes that reaching easy. <strong>I, for one, have ALWAYS wanted to have other people send out tweets for me.</strong>.. And do you know what &#8211; this system has a guaranteed 200 people who will be tweeting for you, every time you send out!! But&#8230;  THE TOP LEVEL IS WHERE TO BE FOR SERIOUS MARKETERS &#8211; A GUARANTEED 3000 PEOPLE TO TWEET FOR YOU COMES WITH THE PACKAGE&#8230; Whoa!</span></p>
<p>Overall I have to say I am impressed with TotallyTweetable.com.  It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises.  Highly recommended to anyone who wants to explode their list and benefit from some excellent advertising.</p>
<p>Take a look, and join right away.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/color-photo-of-me.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-221" title="color photo of me" src="http://lindabasta.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/color-photo-of-me-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Today we are going to talk about blogging.<br />
So what is a BLOG anyway?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">A blog is a website written in a friendly news format that is frequently updated.  Unlike traditional Website, a blog is ever changing. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">Similar to a TV newscast or newspaper, a blog brings up to date useful information on any topic imaginable. A good blog educates informs and entertains. It is written in reverse chronological order with the most recent post on top. Some people use blogging like a journal , some are &#8216;just for fun&#8217; and others are extremely professional. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">So Why should I have a blogging have to do with business?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Whatever online business you have, you must start a blog for the long-term viability of your business. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><br />
Here are 8 reasons to start a blog</strong> :</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
1. It is the easiest way to set up a website. There are plenty of free themes you can use for a nice looking site.</span></span>2. Search engines love blogs because they are looking for fresh<br />
content everyday. If you work at adding new content on a consistent basis Google and other search engines will reward<br />
you with free traffic.</p>
<p>3. You can sell products, including affiliate products, on your blog. Start by placing a banner for your favorite program or product on the sidebar. You&#8217;ll get directions on how to add &#8216;widgets&#8217;.</p>
<p>4. You can earn money from AdSense, those Google text ads that you see in many sites.</p>
<p>5. Blogs are a great way to interact with your visitors. You can find lots of information and their need from your visitors&#8217; comments on the blog. You can keep in-touch with them using<br />
emails if they subscribe to your mailing list.</p>
<p>6. You can network with other bloggers in your niche and share ideas</p>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">or develop JV partnerships</span></span>7. When you send traffic to an affiliate product site directly, that traffic is lost to you forever. But if you send the same<br />
traffic to your blog, you can retain a percentage of the traffic who will become repeat visitors to your site.You&#8217;ll want to add a contact FORM, so you&#8217;ve captured their information.</p>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">8. Best of all&#8230;&#8230;.unlike a traditional Website&#8230;.It&#8217;s FREE !</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">No Web Master or HTML knowledge needed<br />
<strong><br />
So How do you start a blog?</strong>  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">The 3 most popular blog companies are TypePad, WordPreess, and Blogger or Blogspot.  Of the 3,  Blogger is the easiest for a beginner.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">Just go to Blogger.com and follow the directions. Plan ahead what your TOPIC and your NAME will be.  This will become your URL to your Blog site. Be sure you spend a little time on your ABOUT ME and your profile because this is how people can get to feel comfortable with you.  Then just relax and start writing.I&#8217;d start again with something about you , and the purpose of your blog. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">Remember educate, interesting information and friendly .  Sales pitches are a turn off.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Now how do I make money</strong>?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">Blogs are interactive. You encourage visiters to comment. They get to know you&#8230; you get to know them. If they are interested in the topic you are discussing , they will eventually be interested in the product you have to sell. if it is relevant, of course. If you are wanting to use a link  ,try to use it in your signature. </span></div>
<h3><strong>When you have your own blog, you are in charge of the content that is posted on it. You can decide what is said, and what is not. You are after all writing it all, right? So, the sky is the limit. Whether you want a blog that does website reviews and takes nominations, or you want to sell things that you make out of your home, the choice is yours. Using a blog to get the word out about whatever you want too is a great way to market and promote something.</strong></h3>
<div><span style="font-size: large;">There are lots of books and reports out there to help you along the way.  I think we&#8217;ve covered the basics.  </span></div>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Blogging, like &#8216;article writing&#8217; gives visitors a sense of you expertise in your topic,  only not so formal. </span></p>
<p>Want to learn how to create a top notch blog and get it on the first page on Google?</p>
