How Do I Get Gobs of Traffic to My Articles?
Fresh from the Article Marketing Round Table I led at the recent Glazer-Kennedy Super Conference in Dallas, here is one of the FAQs I got:
Q: Once I have created my article(s), how do I get traffic to my articles?
A: I really like this question, because there are just so many great answers to it. I’ve got room for only 3 in this article, and here they are:
1) EzineArticles.com – One of the first things I learned about getting traffic on the Internet is this:
“Don’t chase after traffic. Find out where the traffic is going and get your information in front of it.”
When you get your articles on EzineArticles.com you are getting yourself in front of over 30 + million unique visitors a month. These are folks searching in specific categories for your specific information. This is a great way to connect highly qualified prospects with your information and invite them back to your web site or blog.
Your goal should be to get as many articles up on this Article Directory as you can, and establish yourself as an expert in your niche or area of expertise.
2) OPT - This stands for “Other People’s Traffic” and you get it when you click here to read the rest of the article…

TWITTER: No One Cares?
Could it be true? Nobody cares about what you “tweet” about on Twitter?
Yes, it could be true.
IF you are just blathering uninteresting stuff about your life and not interacting with anyone.
IF you are DMing people with your latest “Mafia Wars” news (do you even HAVE a life?) or giving someone a gift of “Corona” and demanding a gift back (truly bad form).
It’s sad too, because your could be using your Twitter platform to make a difference in the lives of those who want and need to learn from you.
So then the question becomes “Just what do we tweet about then, Jeff?”
I’m glad you asked. I’ve got a new article all about what to tweet about. Here’s a hint: It’s all about tweeting about LIFE!
Click here to give it a read. The article will pop up in a new window. After you read it, I would like for you to do at least 3 things:

Got “Affiliate Signup” Access On Your Blog?
Do you see Affiliate Signup button (the one I’m pointing at) on the upper left side of this blog?
I published that button a week ago (as an experiment) to test if I’d get a “passive” spike in attracting new Affiliate Partners and so far, I’ve doubled my daily Affiliate sign-up rate.
Even if this “doubling” effect doesn’t continue, “shame on me” for not adding that button to my blog sooner!
How about you? Do you have an affiliate program? Do you have a blog?
If you answered “YES” to both questions, then I encourage you to ask yourself this question before you put your Affiliate sign-up button on your blog:
“Do I want my Affiliate Program to be ‘closed’ or ‘open’?”
A “closed” program is typically only available to Affiliates who have also purchased one of your offers. An “open” program is available to anyone who is in good standing with you and wants to promote your offers.
For the first 8 years of my online marketing experience, I had a “closed” affiliate program. But it is now “open” as a result of wanting to build-out the AskAlexToday “outer circle” calls held on the first Thursday of each month.
Turning Pro: The difference between an “amateur” and a “professional” is $1. The moment you make your first dollar, you’ve turned “pro” from my point of view.
Since my goal to get you to “turn Pro” as fast as possible, I’ll (more…)

New Equation of “Personalized” Accountability
What makes good entrepreneurs great is accountability.
Accountability to their business, to their teams, to their vendors, to their families and to themselves. Accountable entrepreneurs are leaders. They don’t get in the habit of making excuses.
And above all, they have a burning desire and willingness to accept responsibilities with a “beginner’s mind” and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Accountable entrepreneurs assume nothing and question everything. They’re fearless “truth-seekers” and chase advice from practically everyone around them – their colleagues, their team members, their customers and most importantly, their personal “Accountability Partners.”
Does this sound like someone you know so far?
If it does, then at this moment you have an opportunity of a lifetime to seek out one Accountability Partner or “AP” who’s life you can change and who will change your life, by simply meeting once a week, 52 weeks a year.
Accountability Partnerships (APs) are (more…)

Watch This If Confused About “Social Networks”
As Lee LeFever says at the beginning of this great 1 minute, 48 second video: “Networks get things done.”
In less than two minutes, he clearly describes how networks evolve and why they’re so important to us in our personal and professional lives.
I really admire teachers who can reduce complicated concepts to their simple essence. This video is easy to understand and I encourage you to pass it along to others who may be still be confused by the “social networking” revolution.
If you look up the term, Social Network, in Wikipedia, here are the most help 250 words you’ll find in their very detailed definition:
Social networks are social structures made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as values, visions, ideas, financial exchange, relationships, kinship, dislikes or trade.
In its simplest form, a social network is a map of all of the relevant ties between the nodes being studied. The network can also be used to determine the social capital of individual actors. These concepts are often displayed in a social network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties are the lines.
Just for fun, see if you can correctly answer these (more…)

What Makes Good Trusted Advisors Great?
We are no longer in the Information Age. We are at dawn of the Recommendation Age and what Entrepreneurial CEOs need most these days are trusted advisors.
And if you want to become the most recommended (and wealthiest) trusted advisor on your topic of expertise, then I encourage you to adopt the Thought Leadership (TL) Mindset.
As soon as Jay Abraham decided to adopt his TL Mindset, he quickly became the world’s highest paid marketing consultant … almost overnight!
I can’t guarantee that you’ll achieve the same revenue or status results that Jay has enjoyed over the past 30 years, but I can guarantee to educate you to make an intelligent decision on which TL Mindset is ideal for you.
The TL Mindset I discovered about myself was my unique ability to conduct Teleseminar expert interviews back in 2002. Since then I have been acknowledged by my colleagues, friends, mentors and students as “The Larry King of Teleseminars.”
I am now a trusted advisor for many of the world’s greatest Thought Leaders within the Human Potential Movement.
Now it wasn’t easy to get leaders such as (more…)
