Critical Steps to Online Success- How do you actually create "leverage" in an Online Business?

"How can I afford employees? I'm just a One-Woman Show--I just got started."

Doesn't matter! We have to find a way to multiply our
efforts if we're going to succeed big time in any business.
Technology can help us do that. But sometimes we don't see
the potential unless someone points it out to us.

For instance how could "writing an article" multiply our
efforts?

When I first understood this principle I was amazed…it's
such a perfect concept.

We write an article and post it to an Article Directory
and our Blog. Say it takes an hour to get all that done
(less as you get practiced). And that's all we do.

But that one article gets multiplied over and over. Say
only 100 people read your original posting over a two month
time period. A newsletter writers need content for their
letter. They pick up your article and post it on their site
and send it out in their publication to 5000 people on
their list. Now 5100 people are reading your one article.
The posting of your article on the new site gets indexed in
the search engines and you have another presence on the
web. Others pick it up and it grows and grows.

You "ping" your blog. With the click of a mouse you advise
20 to 100 RSS feeders that there's a new posting on your
blog. It hits the "RSS feed readers" of thousands of blog
readers, some of them read your article and either use it
in their publication or pass it on.

One click of the mouse and you've made all that
happen…that's leverage.

So what have we got? You wrote one article and posted it
to one article directory and to your Blog and you "pinged"
your Blog once.

You worked for one hour and now thousands of people from
all around the world are potentially reading your article.
Some of them will click your link and join your email list.

Do you need to do anything yet?

No, just sit back, or continue sleeping or sunbathing or
whatever you need to do. It's all being handled in the
background.

Because we can leverage again by using an autoresponder to
build our list.

Your autoresponder is always on the job waiting for
something to do-the perfect employee. Your autoresponder
will add the new person to your list and label them
correctly. It will send them your sequence of pre-written
emails welcoming them, educating them and eventually
offering them a product for purchase that could be
appropriate for their use.

That's leverage in action!

Critical Steps to Online Success -Getting Blog Traffic--"Ping" your Blog.

So you've published your 5 articles on your blog and
you're waiting for results…but nothing seems to be happening…

First Question: Do you have a "Hit Counter" on your Blog?"

If you can't measure the "hits" to your site, how can you
know what's going on? You can get a hit counter by Googling
the term "Add a Hit Counter to your Blog".

If you are using Blogger.com then just go to their Help
menu and you'll find directions. Now you can see how many
visitors you're getting, you can start to add some traffic
generation add-ons to your Blog.

The first and easiest thing you will want to do is to add
a new post every day and then update your Blog on all of
the major Search Engines.

The easiest way to do this is to "Ping" your Blog every
time you update it with new material. Pinging simply
notifies from 10 to 50 or so of the top search engines that
there is new material on your blog and increases the likely
hood that their "spiders" will visit. (Spiders are the
little routines operated by the search engines that run
around on the web searching and indexing all of the sites
for SEO relevancy).

This is a good thing-you can't get your
site indexed until you have a visit from the spiders and to
maintain your ranking you need new material to keep them
coming back.

To "Ping" you Blog you simply register with the Ping
services, select the sites you want to have pinged and
press "ping".

And Bingo…you're starting to become visible on the web.

Here are some of the top Ping engines:
Ping-o-Matic: pingomatic.com

Pingoat: pingoat.com

Technorati: technorati.com/ping

King Ping: kping.com/

For all that, it would seem that Ping-o-matic is the most
popular and gets the job done. But if you're trying to
squeeze more traffic then these others may help. I haven't
done enough testing to have a definitive answer for you.

Keep on winning
