Give Google the Finger


I just got an email about Keith Baxter's Free Report called - "Give PPC the Finger"

I will admit, like you may be feeling now, that I thought it was some hyped up offer to get me to join for free and get some offer...

...Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong.

The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes. The good news is, the report also shows you what you need to know to succeed in the near future.

The times are changing and I it would be a shame for anyone to not read this report and fail like many will.

I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.

I recommend you take a break from what ever it is you are doing if you can and get access to this report now.

Consider your future success by going here now...

not delay...

The Colors of Success

As you begin to build your business and start getting sign ups it will be critical for you to understand the different personality types that make up your membership base. The following is an overview of the "Colors" system. I know of no other subject that when used correctly can have such a positive impact on your life and your business.

Yellows
Yellows make up 35% of the population. They are nurses, schoolteachers, UN workers … the nurturers. They give from the heart. They don't have time for themselves, because they give to everybody.

Yellows have built some of the largest organizations in network marketing... WHEN they have the belief they can do it.

How To Work With A Yellow
To color your way to the top, you need to learn to be a chameleon.
Yellows don't want to be sold. They don't like pushy, aggressive salespeople. When you talk with a Yellow, become a Yellow. Slow the pace. Contain your excitement. Lower the volume. Yellows see excitement as hype, you trying to sell them. Don’t tell a Yellow about making $10,000 a month, because they’ll turn right off.

Instead, visit with them. Skip the business. Talk about their family, their kids, their vacation.

Blues
BLUE’s “just wanna have fun.” They're 15% of the population. They're always in a sales business of some kind. They jump from program to program to program, looking for fun. These are the
planet’s most creative people.

A Blue sees the big picture instantly. They don't need or want all the details. Blues can eat an elephant, but not at one meal.

How To Work With A Blue
With a Blue, talk excited, get excited. Talk about going scuba diving, sky diving, having fun, fun, fun. That's what they want. "Hey, when you meet me at the airport, I'll be wearing a Hawaiian shirt. You'll know me. I'll have a big, funny hat on." That's what they want to talk about.

They’ll talk about vacations & family, but most of all they want to talk about fun things to do.

Greens
Greens are 35% of the population. They're the analytical people. They analyze it to death. They've missed millions of dollars in opportunities because they analyzed it too long.

How To Work With A Green
Greens believe they're the smartest people on the planet. With a Green ... in 2-3 minutes, you'll know you have a Green. They want ALL the details.

You are NOT going to sell them. Don’t even try. They have to sell themselves. They'll go to the website, they'll listen to the conference call. Then they'll go to the next website and the next link. If you have 27 links on your website, they'll go to every one. They'll read all the testimonials, all the articles, etc.

Enunciate all your words correctly for a Green. Don't speak too fast. Don't speak too slow. Be upfront. Give them all the information. Answer all their questions. Give them more websites to go to.

If you call in the meantime to answer questions, they'll be abrupt. They see that as you being pushy. Let Greens analyze the information at THEIR pace.

In a week or 2 or 3, they’ll call back for more information or ready to start. They’ve sold themselves; decided this is the perfect business. Greens want to feed a Blue the elephant in one meal. And that's the way the Green will build the business.

Reds
Reds are 15% of the population. They are money-motivated, moneyfocused.

Don't bother talking to them about your family or your vacation. They don't care. They know if you get married, you're supposed to have kids. If you have kids, you're supposed to go on vacation. End of story. Don't want to talk about it.

How To Work With A Red
They want to talk about the money, the money, the money. For them, it's a sales business.

Reds are the corporate CEOs, the "get-the-job-done" people, the ones everyone in network marketing is looking for.

But it's a fallacy. Reds are just 15% of the population, and they are absolutely not coachable. They have the biggest egos. They order people around. It works in corporate America, but not in network marketing.

How To Write Great Articles Fast And Easy

What most people don't realize is that the work is already done for them, they don't need to come up with unique content from the top of their heads, they just need to look for what is already out there and improve on it.

Every possible topic has been covered and covered well by someone, but most of the time these people don't even want to profit from their work, they do it for the fun of it, which is great for you.

While you can't steal these people's hard work, (we wouldn’t want to anyway, we want to profit from our work) you can use their ideas and learn from their content to write your own. Anyone can become an expert enough in a subject to write a 750 word article on it in minutes if you have the write content in front of you.

I'm skipping ahead of myself here, but I'm going to tell you where to find this content now, then tell you how to come up with article ideas afterwards.

When I come up with an article idea I go directly to the source of the Internet's content. Online bulletin boards, FAQ pages and Article directories!

Every time I need to learn about something to write about it or just for the heck of it, I go to these places......

http://www.faq.org

http://www.goarticles.com

http://www.groups.google.com

Everything I could ever want to know about nearly every subject known to man I can find
for free there, if you're willing to dig for it.

All I then do is dissect all the information out of the articles, re write them into my words and add a snazzy article title.

Say you wanted to write an article or articles on fly fishing to promote a fly fishing e-book thru clickbank.com, here's what I would do.

I would go to Groups.google.com and type in fly fishing and see what questions people were asking.

I would also go to Goarticles.com and type in fly fishing and see what articles are already written and how many people have viewed them so you can tell which article topics are the most popular.

Then when I wanted to start writing my article I'd go to FAQ.org and look there for fly fishing Frequently Asked Questions and rewrite that content in my own words for my own articles.

****DISCLAIMER*****

I don't mean steal other peoples content when I say rewrite. I mean use the FAQ's are a place to research a topic and then use that research as a bases for your articles.

Your articles don't have to be masterpieces that are 5000 words in length, in fact it will help your sales if you keep them short 500 to 750 words and you give your readers
information they can instantly use and implement.

The most important part to your article is your article title; it will make or break your article.

When people read articles they want information that they can use straight away. Say for you instance you're writing about how to get your baby to sleep better at night, then you'd want a title something like this.

"6 Easy Steps For A Better Nights Sleep For You And Your Baby That You Can Implement Tonight!"

Ok, that's not perfect but you get the idea.

I've found if you're targeting the Internet Marketing niche you'll find your articles will get a better response and you will make more sales if you give people a plan they can use to make money straight away from your article.

For instance, let's say your promoting the "Google Cash" e-book that shows people how to make money with Google Adwords, you could write articles on the following....

• How you made money following the formula in the ebook.

• Give them a well thought out business plan they can steal and use as their own.

Or even....

Tell them how you failed using the Google Cash method but another method worked for you.

People love a story, success story or even a failure.

Google Page Creator Tutorial

Overview

Google's page creator is targeted at people who want to build a website, but have no clue where to start. It includes everything you need to have a fully functional website up and running in minutes. You don't need to worry about domain names, hosting or learning how to code HTML, Google has done all the hard work so you don't have to.

The service comes with 100mb of webspace, which is enough to store maybe 1000 web-sized photos. Once you have signed in to the page creator you are taken straight to the page editor.

The top menu lets you change the look and layout, or preview and publish the site. The upper left-hand menu gives you some familiar text editor functions such as bold, italic, bullet list, font, text-size and text alignment. You can also insert images and links from here. The lower left hand menu lets you change between headings, and normal text. The main window is where you do all the typing, and where you can arrange your images and text.

There is also an extremely useful auto-save feature that will save your work every few minutes in case your browser closes.

Getting Started

Click in to the title section (outlined in red dashes) and give your home page a title. Use backspace to delete what is there already and then just type the title you want with your keyboard.

Edit your page's header and footer using the same method as above.

Click in to the main body area of the page and begin typing. You can add images, links and text in a variety of formats.

Uploading Pictures

This is quite straight forward.

Make sure your cursor is somewhere in the main window (preferrably where you want the image to be).

Then, simply hit the image icon then select an image by either browsing on your local computer or entering a URL location.

You then have 4 options, to display the image as small, medium, large or orginial size.

The image is inserted into the WYSIWYG editor and then you can drag it around to whereever you want. It looks like you can only align the image left, center or right at the moment. You can also place an image in the middle of some text and the text will attempt to wrap around it.

Formatting Text

Headings

When entering text, you have 4 options for whether the text is a heading or just normal text. To switch between them you simply click the required heading type from the lower left hand menu.

Generally you will want to be in normal text mode.

Heading Types

Heading - this is the largest heading. On this page "Getting Started" is a main heading.
Subheading - this is the next heading type, as demonstrated by "Headings" on this page.
Minor Heading - this is the smallest heading type. "Heading Types" on this page is a minor heading.
Normal - this is the default text type.

Tip - once you have added a heading, press enter to go to a new line, and then switch the heading type back to normal text to continue writing.

Text Alignment

You have 3 options for text alignment; left, center and right aligned. This is pretty self-explanatory, but for those of you who have never used a word processor before:

This text is left aligned

This text is center aligned

This text is right aligned
Font Families

At the time of writing there were 7 font types to choose from. This is the default normal font.

Times New Roman
Arial
Courier New
Georgia
Trebuchet
And last but not least, Verdana

Font Sizes

Small
Normal
Large
Huge!

Other Text Options
There are also options for bold and italics as well as a colour pallete with 70 different colours to choose from.

Creating Links

Adding links in Google's page creator is easy. There are 4 types of links you can add to your web pages:
You can link to other pages on your Google website, files or images that you have uploaded, other external web pages and e-mail addresses. If you want to link to a file, then this window will also give you an option to upload it.

Advanced Options

For those of you who know some HTML then there is a mode to edit the raw HTML.

You can switch the layout of the site to one, two, or three columns.

You can change the look of the site by selecting a different template. This page is currently using the default template, but at the time of writing there were 41 templates to choose from.

Conclusion
This is another great tool by Google, and despite its BETA tag I couldn't find any major bugs with it. The only one problem I found was with the size of heading text changing toward the end of this page, which meant I manually had to make it "large".

Uploading images and files was easy, as was using the text formatting tools. All in all, it took me a little over an hour to create this page including taking and uploading all the screenshots.

Anyone who can use a word processor confidently should find building pages with Google Page Creator easy, so the test for me now is to see if I can get my internet newbies to use it and start creating pages of their own.

Up until now blogging was the easiest way of getting your words and pictures on the web without any prior HTML knowledge, but this tool gives us another option.

How to Get the Most Out Of Direct Matches

I'm sure most of you have heard of MySpace, the social network phenomena that has 40+ million members. DirectMatches builds on that idea but gears it for the professional and network marketing audience. DirectMatches is a free to join network where you can create a profile, network with your primary prospect group and advertise your PIF4P business.

DirectMatches is the first in the online business and social networking industry to deploy a multi-matchmaking system that helps people locate everything from business contacts to network marketing professionals. It is the first business and social networking service with a contact management system that operates on a "dynamic basis", where members are able to select from dedicated networking communities. Here's how you can get the most out
of your DirectMatches membership. If you haven't done so already sign up:

http://www.directmatches.com/rickgw

You will want to get at least a "Managing IR" membership ($19.95) to be able to get the most out of this tool. Once you've signed up you will want to set up your user profile. There are 3 areas that you will be placing your profile information. Keep in mind that this information is used to match you against other members profiles in the system.

Here is what I put in my profile to match the people I'm most looking for in the system: Under "Occupation" I checked "MLM". You may want to check "Retired" and "Self-Employed" as well.

Under "Business Topics" I checked "Ad Strategies", "Internet Marketing" and "Home Based Business". Under "Business Interests" I checked "Marketing, Advertising" and "Networking".

Once you've done that put your other information in and click on "submit". You will then be taken to your profile page where you will want to click on "My Business Matches". You will find that you should have matched hundreds if not thousands of other members. This is where you will get started in building your DirectMatches contact base. Once you are on the "My Business Matches" page you will want to start adding contacts.

Assuming all of these folks match what you are looking for, go ahead and start clicking on the "add me to contacts" button for each one. You want to go through at least the first 10 pages, which will be 100 contacts. Once you've done that you can go back to those contact profiles and send them an email introducing yourself. Keep it informal and short. Make sure you have your sig file on the bottom of your email (you can set it up in your email options). You will now have 100 contacts that you will have made initial contact with. Hopefully, they should all add you as a contact on their page. They will automatically show up in your contact section on your page giving you the opportunity to have regular communications with them.

You will want to continue this process (adding business matches) on a daily basis. By the end of the week you should have 700 new contacts to network with and more than likely a few sign ups into PIF4P.

The next thing you can do as part of your DM strategy is to send daily group emails out to your contact list. You are limited to sending it to 60 people a day so plan accordingly. That doesn't mean you can't send more than that, just that you can only send 60 group messages at a time. I would send a daily tip out, something that will help them in building their MLM business. You can tie it to the Success Guide or just something that you are doing to drive traffic. People will soon start to expect this from you and you will become an information resource for them. Send a link to your blog as well as a helpful resource.

Another powerful feature you have within DM is the network search feature that you will find in your mail page. You will use it to locate members that are in particular network marketing companies, like Shaklee or Xango. You will get back pages of contacts that belong to that MLM group. Once you've done that you click on "add me to contacts", then I come back to their profile and click on the email link. Here is what I email them:

Subject Line: Want to build your (insert the name of their MLM) dowline faster?

I'm going to be direct and to the point.. Would you like to find out how to sign up more members into (insert the name of their MLM)then you ever thought possible?

http://rickgw.payitforward4profits.com

Using this system I've been able to sign up 900 new members in the past 3 months. And the best part..It's free to join.

Check it out. http://rickgw.payitforward4profits.com

Let me know if you have any questions once you've had a chance to look at it.

Regards,
Rick Jorgenson
949-201-9204

**ONLY LOSERS PAY FOR LEADS** Discover how average people with no marketing backgrounds are getting prospects to pay them....NEVER PAY FOR TRAFFIC AGAIN!!! http://rickgw.payitforward4profits.com

Try and send out at least 15-20 of these everyday. It is a more aggressive approach but it works really well.

The other activity you can do is to post comments on your contacts page. Simply go to their page and click on add a comment. You can write a quick note and add the PIF4P banner in that comment field as well.

By working your DM resource on a daily basis you will bring a good deal of qualified traffic to your PIF4P website and start getting signups from that traffic.

How Long Does It Take To Get Listed In Google?

So how do you get your sites indexed in Google in no time at all for free? Here’s how…

Have you heard of GooglePages?

http://pages.google.com

Not many people have, but Google actually offer free web pages. Nothing too exciting about free web pages I know. But there is a “twist” to Google Pages.

Check this out.. the comment below was taken from a press release put out by Google in February 2006...“Pages created with Page Creator will be crawled by Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) within a few hours, making the content immediately searchable. This is an advantage over other web-site hosts, which can take days to be included in Google’s search results”Read the full press release at the link below.

http://www.forbes.com/2006/02/23/google-page-creator-0223markets04.html

The pages you create at “GooglePages” will get listed on the Google Search Engine “within hours”.

What I am recommending is you create GooglePages sites with links to your main site!
Take a look at what I created with this tool in about 20 minutes. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to look at how I link to my blogs, articles and websites.

http://wealthbuildingtycoon.googlepages.com/home

When the spiders come “within hours” to index your GooglePages site, they will crawl the links on your sites and those pages will get indexed too!

The really cool thing is, that GooglePages get indexed quickly by the other major search engines too. So you quickly and easily increase your back links with this method also.
