Tell Them About It!
Author: KMcGreevey: Konceptuality
If you want people to find you on the web, a good way to do that is through blogging.
This also holds true for how people can find your information products. Sure, you have a sales page for each info product and you use essential keywords in the sales copy, but sales pages are meant for one thing: for the customer to click the “buy” button, have the “prize”drop out, and then move on.
So, starting a blog and writing pertinent information for your target market on a regular basis will help to secure your position as an expert. However, it will also encourage people to visit your blog many times over.
By you writing multiple posts each week, your are supplying your visitors with a“Come back often now, you hear?”invitation! Better yet, while they’ “stopping by”, they may even subscribe to your RSS feed, newsletter or download whatever it is you’re offering.
A blog is easy to create and you don’t need to be a web expert to do create it. Since you’re trying to reach “expert” status, you may want to keep your blog attached to your current business Web site. All you need after that is a design and then you’re set to start writing.
What you write is essential if you want your blogging efforts to be successful. Make each post interesting and timely and something people will want to read. Make your blog posts short (300-400 words) and easy to read—and don’t use big words people won’t understand.
Start by blogging about your info product since that’s what you’re selling.
This isn’t another sales pitch so you can focus on smaller topics. For instance, if you have an info product about green living, write about the “Top 10 Ways to Get Your Kids to Recycle.” Another post can be “How to Introduce Green Living into the Classroom.” You can write on any number of different topics of interest or highlight certain ideas from the info product to show your expertise without giving another hard sell for your product.
Constantly update your blogs, don’t just blog once and forget about it. Blog daily at first to attract readers. Add promotional posts for your info product at the end of your blogs to also get people to your site. Feel free to mention the product in another individual post. If people are interested in what you are writing, they’ll find your link and click on it.

Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityBoost your energy
Perhaps you’ve noticed how the desire to lose weight sometimes leads some of us to drink coffee, use diet pills or to drink diet pop. This is because the energy-inducing ingredients in these products boost our systems and act as an impetus to motivate us. Actually, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep will as well.
Since the “moody blues” can sometimes be brought on by too many sugary foods and the “sugar blues”, in turn, can kill motivation, it’s wise to limit the use of sugar products.
Take any small step
Neil Armstrong said, “That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind”. While he probably didn’t mean it quite like this.
But if you commit to doing just one task for one day toward your goal, perhaps like writing a paragraph in a sales letter, it won’t be long before you get motivated enough to finish the sales letter because you know when it’s finished you’ll be able to finish uploading your ebook to your Web site, and you can then start selling it and earning money.
Money speaks pretty loud
Motivation techniques really do work.
Some of the foregoing examples attest to the fact that motivation techniques really do work. However, the “how” is up to you since what stirs your colleagues may not stir your soul.
In any case, a good laugh can overcome a lot of things so whatever path you choose to rev up your motivator, let humor be your guide.

Secrets to Getting Back the Fire
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityCan’t think, brain numb? Motivation won’t come?
Believe it or not, we all have times when we just can’t get motivated to “get up and go”; whether that “go” is to work or to write an article or to clean house or to tackle a huge project for a client.
How many times have you taken the time to sit in on this or that seminar or to even read this or that motivational book to learn hundreds of ways to improve your life? But then all that learning just set up camp in your brain because you didn’t do anything with it.
Instead, you got side-tracked watching the Aflac duck in his latest predicament (I love that duck!). Perhaps you didn’t feel like doing what you ought to have been doing and so you did nothing!
Aflac duck or not, sometimes even the highly motivated of us may sometimes find ourselves in the throes of lazy and more readily disregard the nagging pull to start on an important task.
So what’s a body to do?
Over the next few days, we’ll discuss several tips to help you get motivated.
Stop back tomorrow to get started.

Writing Articles Is About More Than The Words
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityKeyword-rich articles are your first step to achieving your personal or business related goals.
However, many authors wonder why their articles are not being picked up by publishers and webmasters to be placed on their theme-related Web sites. So, if you’re willing to follow a few simple steps, we can get you on your way to having a successful article writing campaign that will appeal to publishers, webmasters, and also your online readers.
For instance, look at these
Tip #1: When readers search for a specific topic of interest, they’re searching for information that answers specific questions they may have at the time.
If you’re not exactly sure how to format your article to flow with all the necessary information, just remember that when you start writing your articles, consider formatting them with the focus on the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY.
You will find that when you start to develop your articles in this format, you will definitely make it easier to write your articles on specific topics that will flow naturally.
Tip #2: If you’re writing about a specific topic that can help your readers, provide a brief introduction of what you’re going to talk about.
This way if the reader is interested in what you have to say, they will know the direction you’re going in on your specific topic. In the body of your articles, include the key information of your topic, and the many features, followed by the benefits.
The best way to do this is to briefly talk first about the feature of your topic, product, or services, then follow that up with a detailed benefit (make sure you focus on and write more about the benefit). At the bottom of you article, always end it with a brief conclusion.
The End
Never stop writing without having an ending. Not necessarily the “The End”. But if you don’t have a clear ending, readers will wonder if they received the entire article, or if some information is missing. Besides, most everyone likes an ending.
These are just a few of the guidelines to article writing success
So if you take some of this information and use it to best fit your writing style, you will be on your way to being a great Web Author. And as an added bonus, publishers and webmasters hungry for fresh content with a quality message will be chasing after you to pick up your well-written content that will offer their readers a quality message.

I spoke too soon
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityI think we’ve been fixed
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityIt gives me great pleasure
to say that I think my blog has been fixed!”
I say this, as I sit here with all my fingers crossed!
Unfortunately, my site here has been troubled for at least six weeks with all kinds of crazy stuff showing up on it…mostly, I noted it in the html code of the “View Source” area. Once, though, in the php code I saw a url to a web site that had nothing to do with this site.
Here’s to hoping this blog is backnow to stay in its original format.

Get Noticed! Use These 10 Blogging Techniques
Author: KMcGreevey: Konceptuality1. Blog Regularly - Many of the top bloggers post 10-20 times per day.
2. Create Authority Articles – Instead of blogging frequently, post less often but focus on creating Authority Posts; lengthier articles that are really well put together which will attract attention from other bloggers and users of social bookmarking sites like Digg, reddit, etc.
3. Comment on Other Blogs – Do not “keyword spam” these; but rather, use your own name and add value to the conversation.
4. Link Out Frequently to Industry Leaders
- Show some “link love” to other bloggers in your niche. In turn, they might eventually link back if you have a quality post on a topic they have not yet covered.
5. Participate in Blog Carnivals - These are a way for bloggers within a niche to get together and periodically highlight posts from one another’s blogs. You can find an index of these at BlogCarnival.com.
6. Do Guest Posts - Not just for A-List bloggers, but B-List and beyond. Be sure to work up some good material first so as to make a good first impression.
7. Article Marketing - Join a site like ezinearticles.com and syndicate your articles to thousands of participating sites. If distributed via the web, these sites are required to link back to you via a byline/resource box.
8. Social Digging/Mixxing - Join sites like Digg, Mixx, Bumpzee, etc., and encourage your users and/or friends to submit their stories.
9. Social Bookmarking - Join del.icio.us, Furl, Wink, Backflip, etc., and submit your popular articles to these sites to seed them into the community.
10. Use Great Headlines – Okay, which sounds better, “Some Ways to Get Readers”, or “10 Time-tested, Battle-Hardened Blog Traffic Techniques”. Many readers are particularly fond of “Top X” lists, or “How To …” posts.
