QANTAS 747 Emergency Landing at Manila I’m sure you have heard about the Qantas Airways Flight 30 jet that had to make an emergency landing at the Manila International Airport shortly after leaving Hong Kong while in route to Melbourne, Australia. It was discovered that there was a large hole in the fuselage and a this point no explanation has been given as to how it happened, although it’s not likely caused by a terrorism act. All the passengers are fine and were very calm during the unknown course of actions needed to get the plane down safely in Manila.

This is just the event that can trigger your personal growth and development. Have you ever been in a situation where your life is quite possibly in imminent jeopardy? If you have, you will know first hand how you quickly go through an awakening, which commonly includes ’seeing your life flash before your eyes’. You all of a sudden see yourself and your life from a different perspective. It is much like the perspective many people come to when they are at the place of imminent death from old age or illness. They are able to see in a new light many of their long held feelings, thoughts, and perspectives from a more ‘outside looking in’ point of view.

When you are living ‘in’ your life you have a harder time taking an outside view of what you are doing. What you think is important or necessary may not actually be so. Your perspectives and your interpretations of the people, situations and events in your life may not be the most desirable to have to support the life you really want. When your life has evolved as it has, you accept much of it as ‘how it is’ and don’t really look at it as something that can be different.

When an event wakes you up so to speak, you are sort of knocked off kilter a bit and suddenly you are able to see things differently. At this point many people do a lot of reassessment of what is important to them and of their priorities, making changes that are more aligned with their true feelings. As undesirable as the trigger event may be, it can be a wake up call for you to take a look at how you are using your life.

Like at old age when people look back and say, “I should have done this or that, or not have acted that way” and regret what they did for so many years. Why wait the facing of death to reassess your life? You can do it any time you choose. Just because your life has evolved mostly in an automatic way, you don’t have to let it stay that way. You can shift gears and change direction any time you want. The first point is to realize that you can, and you can. You don’t have to be shocked into it, although that can make it quick!

There are many helpful methods and tools available for you to use helping yourself see your life in a new view and then with making any alterations you may choose to make. The second requirement is you must want to change, as your mind will most easily keep doing what it has been doing up to this point so you will need personal motivation to override this. You are intended to continuously change and evolve throughout your life, but many get stuck and don’t realize why they feel unfulfilled and frustrated.

You have your thinking, reasoning and the ability to choose which are your basic tools to navigate your personal evolution through life. Your connections with your inner self and your intuition serve as guidance as you go but can only respond to what you seek. A life unquestioned is a life unchanged except by outside influences. Allowing outside influences to be your only guide, you will be much like the ball in an old style pinball machine bouncing from peg to peg with little to no choice.

Choice is part of your basic equipment, learn how to use it and do so. Don’t wait for some outside event or near death to wake you up, assess your life and how your feel now. What is working and what is no? Everything in the universe is in constant change, what makes you think you can remain the same and feel good about it? You can’t - dissatisfaction, unrest and unhappiness are the result. Rather, learn to navigate the change to best suit the life you are guided from within to live and you will see your happiness and satisfaction increase dramatically.

As you navigate your natural change, as guided from within, you will actually feel more calm and secure than when you were seeking comfort by trying to keep everything the same. Let this latest in air emergency be the catalyst for you to asses your life, don’t wait for something to happen to you. If we can learn from what happens to others, we may not need to experience it ourselves. Your first choice is to take a look at yourself - or not.

Our Gratitude Journal
I would like this to be a place where you can post what you are thankful and grateful for. This allows you to release these thoughts and feelings out to the world, which helps solidify your intention about being grateful. As with anything that you are willing to express openly, there is a power flow attached to it, which intensifies your commitment and creates a flow of positive energy through you. It’s a lot like making a formal commitment to someone about something you intend to do - there is more power behind the intent, a higher level of commitment and faith on your part. You can feel as though you have released a pressure, something you have been blocking or holding in.

In addition, reading what others have listed that they are thankful and grateful for, as well as how they feel because of doing this, can be a huge learning opportunity for you. When we see the experience of others it tends to be easier to relate it to ourselves. This is why modeling other people can be so powerful. You will realize two things; how they feel much like you do, and if they can do it so can I.

Feel free to post your ‘Gratefuls’ and any experience you have had with focusing on what you are grateful for.

Here we can create an open dialog of self expression and assist one another to enhance how grateful we are.

As usual please keep it nice, supportive and helpful.
John

Do you think happy people have more in their life to be happy about? Well, yes and no. They are happy about more things in their life because they focus on being thankful and grateful about more things in their life.

What you focus on expands. When more of your attention is on things that bring up good feelings more than bad feelings you will be much happier and less dissatisfied with daily life. It boils down to perspective. First, what are you looking at and how are you looking at it?

For example, you may feel that the home you live in no longer suits your wants and needs, so you focus on what you see as the negative aspects. And I’m sure you have noticed how easily your mind chatter will support your thinking about what you don’t like. This automatic feature of your mind will help to enhance whatever you think and feel – it does it so easily with dislikes.

But think a minute, isn’t there a lot about where you now live that you can appreciate and be thankful for? You do have a roof over your head, you are protected from the elements, you have running water, flush toilets, etc. Think for a moment, if you did not have this home? I think you‘ll see that there is really a lot about it that you can be grateful for. This is true of most everything in your life. If you are not sure, compare what you have and do against other people that have less. Think about your home, your clothes, your job, your possessions, your community, accessibility to what you want, how your basic needs are met, what IS going right, and so much more. There is always a good side.

Teach yourself to focus on anything and everything that you can no matter how minute you think it is and your happiness will increase. You can really only focus on one thing at a time, multitasking is when you bounce between different things more rapidly. But you can’t think about the good of something while thinking about the bad of it, always one or the other. To feel better and to send out the best signal, focus on the good. You can decide to be grateful for no specific reason, just for being alive and all that entails. This is actually a great base line for your life, your attitude, thinking, perceptions, health and behavior - grateful to be here, to be you.

If you have been thinking a lot about what you don’t like or want and you switch to fairly consistent gratitude, you will be amazed at how you feel. Your attitude, disposition and outlook will be much brighter, you may feel like you woke up on the ‘right’ side of the bed. Your body will respond positively too with more vitality, less stress and even some health improvements. The thing is, none of this is chance - the more thankful and grateful you are the better you will feel. You will be improving your happiness without even changing anything in your life except your perception.

Now you may be wondering what to do with all the new and different things you want in your life and I have talked about grateful for what you have. You need to do both. One of the ‘tricks’ in life is to find the fine line between two aspects of life, which we have an example of here with gratitude for what you have and thinking about what you want. Both are required for the most happiness and satisfaction in your life.

Where most of us fall into a trap is when we think it is logical to delineate what we don’t want, actually we just find it easy to complain about it since we have attached emotions that support our dislike. The key is this – you can express thanks for what you have and feel grateful for it, and want more at the same time.

What you shouldn’t do is, to repeatedly express your dislike for something and expect it to change. When continuously expounding on what you don’t want, you get more of it. Every thought you hold is an order to the universe – for what you want. To highlight how pointedly powerful each and every thought is, “I AM” in front of everything you are thinking and feeling. If you are thinking, “(I am) I hate my hair” you are what you want, just as an acorn is saying, “I am an oak tree.” The same forces that ensure the acorn develops as requested is working in your behalf in the same way.

Be grateful for your current situation, it got you here, it is a stepping stone on the path, there is something to learn or gain from it. If anything it is a clue to what you should not be doing, if you don’t like it. But rather than going on about not liking it, let it help you find what you do want.

Also, I am not suggesting using gratitude as a way to ignore anything that needs attention and action. You can be grateful for something and be working on changing or improving it. There is a big difference in thinking about something as you are working with it as opposed to thoughts dwelling on the negative aspects of it.

The bottom line is that there is something about anything that you can find to be grateful for. Sometimes this can be tricky to find and you may need to adjust your perception in order to see it. It could be a lesson or something that needs to be experienced for you or someone else. As you know by now some lessons and experiences can be painful. I just recently had to face this as my wife passed away three months ago.

If there is something in your life that you are having difficulty finding an aspect to be grateful for, don’t let it bog you down, just look at other things that you can be thankful for now. But if you can see the lesson, it is something to be grateful for, because now you know and can do something about it and grow from it. And that is worth being grateful for!

The more you do this, the more you will. Start with whatever you can and you will notice more and more to be grateful about. As you express gratitude for a few things your perceptions will change a little

Writing down what you are thankful for increases your commitment and increases it’s power, and sharing with others does so even more, plus others will benefit from it as well. To share your gratitude and/or the results of your increased gratitude with others, plus get some encouragement and insights reading what others write – go to the Gratitude Journal – see category list.

Blogs, Blogger’s and Blogging Does What?

I have heard people asking about blogs over the past few years or so. And I thought it would be fun to find some answers about blogs and blogger’s. With the blogging world growing by millions or billions every month or two, it might be interesting to find out about blogs, bloggers and the blogging idea.

So how did the blogging sites start?

What I have discovered is interesting. You can run a search with the phrase “history of blogging” and find many articles on how it started. I did not really find any exact answer but it was still fun and interesting reading the articles. So really it all comes down to that a blog actually started as a log of web sites of publishers on specific topics. They would keep track of other sites posting content and than post these web sites for the new people cominf to the Internet a place to find all the different sites on the many topics. Well.. ok maybe…

I actually think it all started out with the simple bulletin board on the interent many years ago. People sharing their interest and helping each other in many areas of life & business. Someone would post on a bullentin board and others would post replies. Maketers would post ads or write content that linked to their sales page. It was a crude way of communicating on the Internet but it did serve its purpose in the early years of discovering the Interent.

In my own conclusion; a blog is actually a weblog of a person’s daily activity — more or less a public diary on the web/internet. It may be about them self, someone else or even about an event going on in their neiborhood, town or in the world. Ok now, the weblog actuly evolved by dropping the “we” part of weblog which has become known as a blog. Other features of a blog, they have lots of links to other sites, formatted like a journal, has a personal touch, is updated weekly, daily and sometimes more. It actually depends on the person behind the blog and what they are trying to do with the blog site.

So what is all the hype about blogs on the Internet today?

In reality a blog is a web site were people have the ability to post articles on many topics and have products related to the topics to make a few bucks for a sumplement income. It is actually fun to blog, because there is no limit to what topic you can write about on a blog.

Many bloggers will link to each other in similar topics to help create more activity on their sites. By linking together they find new readers through the technology of the Internet search engines. With this in mind it becomes a place in the Internet world to have a piece of virtual real estate. Why not have a part of the web by starting a blog and post content that excites your interest. So if you like to write, gossip or want to belong to a community on the Internet than a blog might be something you could enjoy for many years to come.

Now you can create content that is conterversal, sincer, gossip or even write reviews about new products on the market. All of these ways can lead to some kind of affiliate type of product. Reviewing a product is a great way to make money on a blog, because a review of a product you like can lead you to an affilaite link to sell the product for the company who makes the product right on your blog. This leads me to the next part of the blogging world.

Are blogger’s, blogging to express them self or to make money?

As mentioned in my previuos paragraph, yes you can make money with your blog. Many bloggers use a blog in conjunction with a main web site to sell products. The reason for this is because a blog has many social options built in to the blog it self. You can link to - what is known as - social bookmarking sites. This is another topic I will cover at a later date so look for it in the future at this blog site. I most likely will be blogging about it soon!

By blogging on a topic in a specific area, this is what marketers will call a “niche” site. When you have a blog in a niche it usaully means you will be able to find advertisement or products to sell on the blog site. Thus the reasoning behind having a blog in conjuction with a main web site. A blog also can hold it’s own as a web site too. The cool thing is you can write about products with links built right in to the text it self too.

I do beleive some people just like to get their opinions out on the Internet and a blog is a great way to do this. I do see people start out this way a lot and all of a sudden they find out they could sell adveertising space to others who want to sell products. To do this though, you must have good content that draws readers to your blog so the ad space can be sold at a reasonable cost to advertisers. Which there is this thing called “PR” (page rank) you must have at a blog site before most advertiser will consider buying ad spce on a blog. “BUT” you can join companies who find advertiser that are looking for a places to advertise. Here again the blog site must have good relative content before they will axcept you for consideration. More about advertising companies in later post at this blog site.

With this in mind I would like to mention you can blog with out actually owning a blog. There is a site that offers you to submit articles in a topic and gives you the ad space to sell or place your own advertisment. YES! You will have control over the ad space. It is a membership site, so there is a small monthly cost but it can be a place to give it a try to see if it can help you creating an income with out a lot of work setting up a blog site. It is actually an article directory with a special offer for article authors but it is posting the articles in a blog network. More about this in future post.

I would like to go more in to detail on all of this but for now I just wanted to “Blog” a little to show that it can be fun and easy to create blog content. Just do a little research or write about a topic you have a lot of knowledge about.

In future post I will cover more about how and were to get a blog. Help you decide if you want to own your blog site, use some of the free blogging sites or a blogging membership site. Their are advantages to each of them and I will cover these topics in more detail as I go along.

Start working at home now — a home based business opportunity can give you your freedom. Do not get me wrong, you do have to work at it and put in the time necessary to make it work! When deciding on a work at home job or home based business opportunity it is important to know who you are dealing with. We want to offer you a wide variety of knowledge, insight, and help in deciding which home based business opportunity is the right fit for you and how to better prepare yourself into looking for the right opportunity. I learned this lesson very fast in the home based business industry, missing one big opportunity but also seized another great home business because I stayed open minded about what is out there and decided to hear out the opportunities. We urge you to fully investigate any home based business opportunity before signing up.

Marketing a company’s product through their affiliate program is a great example of a minimum cost home based business opportunity. One of the most important ways for a company or business to grow is through marketing and advertising. Out of everything that I do to promote my business, article marketing has taken the most prominent place of all. We bring you a proven turnkey marketing business that allows you to increase your profits without sacrificing time or freedom. We have a unique marketing system that allows us to do all the telling and selling for you. Email marketing can be an effective strategy also. Keep in mind, you still have to talk to people!

Affiliate programs are generally run by e-commerce sites looking for ways to increase their sales. Affiliates are paid a percentage of each sale they generate. As an affiliate, you essentially become part of the company’s sale force, but you work on commission. As an affiliate, the first thing you will need is a web site where you can display the promotional information for the company you work for. More often than none, the company will supply you with at least one site or more. That is why, if you are in an affiliate program, you need to work on increasing your traffic. If you want to generate multiple streams of income through various affiliate programs while not having to worry about creating and marketing a product of your own just yet, the site will do for you financially what it has done for countless others in your situation.

A home based business opportunity has provided the ‘dream lifestyle’ for many people. How do you know that you have chosen the right home based business opportunity? It’s vitally important when considering a home based business opportunity that there is a good support structure behind it. It’s a good idea to write a business plan once you have decided on a home based business opportunity that you want to pursue. I’ve modeled my own online business success and marketing after proven successful internet marketers, business marketing consultants and self made Internet Business Millionaires.

Chuck Arnone can and will guide you if you are new to the internet business, his ability and experience is of great value. Pro Image is a good example of a home based business.

The most powerful Marketing book ever written? Quite possibly!

I’ve just gotten an e-book copy of Mark Joyner’s classic book, “Mind Control Marketing”. I’ve wanted to buy this book for years, but I’ve never been able to get my hands on it.  Mark pulled it from print not long after it was released and until now… the only way to get access to this powerful marketing information was to buy a used copy on Amazon or eBay for several hundred dollars.

Seriously, the cheapest I saw it offered for was $249 on Amazon. As much as I wanted the book, and as much as I had been primed to want it, I just couldn’t justify paying that much for it.

Mark claims he took the book out of print because “money isn’t everything” and he didn’t want the information to fall into the “wrong hands”… So why is he “giving it away” for such a low price now? For me, purchasing Mind Control Marketing was an absolute “no brainer”. I expected to pay a lot more for it that I did.

So, is this the most powerful marketing book ever written or nothing more than a compelling title, excellent sales copy and a well orchestrated, long-term marketing plan?

Actually, I didn’t even read the sales copy… I just wanted this book so bad I scrolled right to the bottom of the page and paid… I was expecting to pay at least $97. In my opinion, he’s selling it way too cheap. I’ve paid more than $27 for 20 page ebooks. Mind Control Marketing is over 160 pages of powerful information. You even get the “secret chapter” - reputed to be more powerful than the rest of the e-book.

This chapter wasn’t even included in the print book. Mark took it out just before the book went to print because he thought it was too powerful. (I’ve read it, I know why he may have felt this way.)

The information in the book DOES live up to the hype… It’s basically step-by-step instructions on how to manipulate people and it COULD be used for ill will. Maybe it’s dangerous letting everyone know?

When it comes to releasing controversial information like this, I have always thought that it’s better out than in. The people who worry about it getting out are those who fear they will lose their own power if it does.

Once the information is in the public domain, the power of its dark side diminishes, but ethical use of the information remains unaffected. So, maybe the $27 price does show that Mark doesn’t think money is everything.  He has decided that this is something we should all know and made it affordable to the masses.

I think reading it will help you grow as a person, as well as making you a better marketer.

One of the things that makes it tough to change your thinking is the attachment to existing thoughts.

At first you may think that you wouldn’t do such a thing when the new mode of thinking is what you think you want. And of course this is true, but there is the aspect of your mind that loves to hold on to what you know and are familiar with. It’s very much like how a magnet automatically attracts iron and steel. Your existing thoughts seem to have a power of their own. They don’t of course, other than through your allowing them to.

But the hard part comes with your not always being aware that these thoughts are even there. Your unconscious mind harbors these thoughts which are integrated into your base mental operating system

Two aspects that are very powerful with us humans are the desire for comfort and following the familiar. Even when thoughts are not really in our best interest but are familiar to us, we will gravitate towards them, craving what is known.

We generally have a hard time facing the unknown, thus we shy away from it rather more often seeking what is known and comfortable. In our desire to eliminate the unknown, we attempt to define, categorize and organize everything to put it all into neat order that we can feel comfortable with.

This of course can not actually be done. In reality everything is in constant change, but because we are generally uncomfortable with new and different, we seek the known no matter how inappropriate it may be for us. This is also why thoughts and actions that don’t serve your best interest are so readily held onto and acted upon automatically in your unconscious mind.

“Change is inevitable, growth is intentional.” — Glenda Cloud

Part of your mind is trying to help you feel comfortable by building a database of what you have already experienced and use this as often as possible to help you feel good. One of the basic human drives is to feel good and our unconscious mind is geared to help accomplish this.

I know, how can doing something that is harmful such as a bad habit be comfortable? It can in the sense that it is known. It is more comfortable than what you have not done before because at least it is known to you. As you know many people will hang on to some very destructive habits without knowing why. This is one of the main reasons why change is so difficult.

For the most part you are unaware of this mental activity as your unconscious mind efficiently streamlines many of your thought processes. Don’t get upset with your brain, it’s just doing it’s job. Just imagine if you had to consciously think about everything your mind did - you wouldn’t have time to do anything above your basic life support, if that.

“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.” — Abraham H. Maslow

Our unconscious mind, much like a computer operating system, performs many functions without our need to be aware of them. But also like a computer program, your automatic brain functions can be altered. As a programmer can go in and change a program such as Microsoft Word and get it to perform different functions, you can change many of your basic thoughts, feelings and perceptions that automatically guide your behavior.

The question is - are you willing to face your basic comfort seeking programming in order to experience something new and different in your life? You must choose to step into the unknown, into what is new to you and away from what you have been deriving some comfort from. On the surface this seems and feels unnatural - but it’s not.

Learning to face and accept the uncertainty of the unknown releases your ability to change your lot in life, realize your potential and increase your happiness.

Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.”

This applies here with your perceptions about the unknown, comfort and feeling good. When you change how you look at change, the unknown, anything new, you can affect your related behavior and how your automatic unconscious mind tries to keep you away from it.

Your life is designed to continuously develop with you becoming more of what you are capable of as you go along. When you allow yourself to shy away from change you are actually stopping this free flow of growth. When you see something new as being somewhat painful because it is different, this is a perception - a choice. Something new and different does not come with discomfort attached that is your doing. Nothing comes with perceptions or emotional feelings attached - that is all of our doing.

One of the most powerful self-help methods is totally free. Ask yourself questions, the right questions. Your subconscious will seek to answer your serious heartfelt questions. And questions can be used to assist with changing the way you perceive the unknown and change so that you welcome it rather than avoid it.

Ask yourself, “How can this be beneficial to me?”

“How can this be more beneficial than remaining as I have for so long?”

“How can this, new and different activity, better support the life I want?”

The questions you can ask are endless. It will take a little practice to figure out what to ask, just keep playing with it - having the intent of creating effective questions you will discover the right questions for your situatuion. You will also likely need to learn to listen for the answers. Quieting the incessant mind chatter is necessary and can be done in various ways such as breathing and meditation.

Another angle for questions is to ask yourself why you feel as you do about change, comfort, happiness, new and different to see if you can get clarity into your perceptions about them. This then allows you to see what you don’t want which then leads to the opposite, what you DO want.

Take the position mentally that something new and different is basically good and beneficial, ask questions seeking how this is. Rather than your old way of looking at change as uncomfortable and undesirable. Look for the benefits, not the detriments - this is a change of perception. Your emotional feelings will follow your perceptions, you will feel different about change when you look at it differently.

Be proactive with how you look at things, choose the perceptions that best support the life you are meant to live. Just because you have had a certain perception now does not mean you must keep it forever. The first step is to change the way you look at change.

“Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.” — Herbert A. Otto

Another article in the ‘Daily Action For Self Improvement’ series, articles focusing on the personal development and growth actions you can take daily to support a high level of happiness and satisfaction in your life.

In looking what you can do each day to support what you want in your life - check your thinking throughout the day.

Ask a simple question of yourself, “Am I a magnet for what I want?”

You see, your predominate thoughts direct your magnet. Unfortunately, spending a lot of time thinking about what we don’t want seems to be the norm.

But doing this just defines your creation magnet - so you are essentially requesting more of what you don’t want.

You do this when you re-play in your head;

What you don’t like,
What you are upset about,
What you worry about,
What you are afraid of

And, this is so easy to do, it is automatic. But it doesn’t have to be. You can stop and shift ‘thought gears’ whenever you want.

The first option is to switch your focus onto something, anything that you can feel good about. Get yourself to delve into this topic for a while to divert your attention.

It is easier to replace thought with another thought than it is to try to get yourself to just stop the current thinking. Replace your thought with something desirable.

A second option when you catch yourself stuck in ‘the negative thought spiral’ is to look for the opposite of what you are thinking. Usually at the opposite of a dislike is something you would want. Identify this and place your focus on it, allowing yourself to feel better.

Wherever your mind is - you are seeking more, even if it is what you don’t want. So, train yourself to not remain in that state of whirling around in what you don’t want - use that to look for the opposite, what you do like. Or even just switch to thinking about anything to get your mind into a happier place.

To get yourself to begin to notice more often what you are thinking about try this:

Get a 3 x 5 card to take with you for the day.

Write on it -

“What am I thinking about right now?”

“Does it make me happy?”

“What else can I be thinking?”

Keep this where you will see it often. It’s good to put it somewhere where you will accidentally notice it without thinking about it. This helps you catch yourself off guard so you can take notice of your thoughts. Using a tool like this can help you to learn to take more notice to what you are thinking all the time.

When you are aware of your thoughts, you can decide if you want to change them.

Have you been using article marketing as part of your Internet marketing business? Have your efforts evolved along with the Web? Have you notices how more complex it has become to get really good results? Article marketing can be very effective when done right. The question is how are you doing it? I want to tell you about something that seems to be working very well.

As you know many people tout article marketing as one of the best and cheapest ways to get your name out there, get known and get links to your websites. This is true, however, over the last couple of years the results have diminished for the standard methods. Once upon a time, just 2 or 3 years ago internet time, you could post articles that got syndicated to many article directories and you would just get traffic to your website. But now there are so many articles out there that your article is just another ad page for directory owners in the vast sea of pages on the Internet.

And, as you also know, the Internet is constantly changing and so must you if you want the best results for your marketing efforts. What once worked very well in not working so well now. With the increased popularity in blogs and in social networking it is evident where the attention is going. If you want to get under the noses of potential customers and clients, you need to be where they are. Sure, many people still find what they are looking for through search engines, but they are also spending a lot of time in blogs and social networking sites.

Now you should be looking to get your presence in all of these areas in order to have the best chance at getting in front of the specific people you want to see what you have for them. You can, if you haven’t already, set up your own blog with proper SEO practices and get involved in many of the social networking sites in order to get your message out there. And if you are trying to do all this you know how much work it is. And if you are not yet doing these things, you have realized how ineffective old-style article marketing has become.

There is a new system that has popped up that combines all the newest aspects of the web that the masses are flocking to with article marketing, and has shown phenomenal results particularly for being so new. This new article marketing system is in its infancy and just as the overall web, is growing and developing all the time. The great thing about this new system is that on top of integrating the nets currently most powerful aspects, it is designed to continuously change with the overall Internet environment, helping to keep your efforts producing the results you want.

Many new articles are showing up on the first page of search results and many at number one, just days after posting. When was the last time you had your article show up on the first page of a search? The way they do it is to offer much more than a traditional article directory.

Did you know that the reason article directories really want your content is so they can place ads on those pages from which they generate income. Now that in itself is not so sinister as we all realize that the directory operator needs to generate income somehow when they don’t charge us anything to post an article. But on the other hand we really don’t get much from the post, just a page online with little to no linking or socializing power. Plus, when there are ads all over the page your article is on many of the readers take off through an ad link without clicking on your link at the bottom of the article. So you gave the reader a little information and they went elsewhere to get more, not to your site.

In this new system, they allow you to have full control over the adspace on your articles page. You can put your own ads on it, your chosen affiliate products ads, you can sell the adspace or you can set it up with no ads, so your site link is all that is there. So, you get control of the revenue generated the page and the outgoing links.

Another aspect of this new system is that the article directory is a blog, not a static site. You know that blogs are getting a huge amount of reader attention plus they get much favorable attention from the search engines. On the net today, a blog page has become more powerful than a standard web page. So without even having your own blog you can now realize the power of a blog where readers can interact easily with comments, and you can comment back. Interaction with your readers has proven to be extremely valuable because as they get to know you they are far more likely to take you up on your offers.

And to add the icing on top, this new system does social networking for your articles. They help to gather viewers through various social networking sites to come to read your articles. If you can just get your arms around how powerful this is you will soon realize how even the traffic they bring in for another authors article also benefits yours in the same topic.

Of course if you add your own social networking efforts your articles will do even better, and in this system they show you how to do this as well, because it benefits the whole system. This is the closest thing I have found that is truly a win-win-win for everyone involved in the area of article marketing. If you understand how getting the most from your time and your money is of utmost importance in business and have been wondering how to get fantastic results in today’s online environment, this new generation advanced article marketing system may just be the answer for you. Have you been using article marketing as part of your Internet marketing business? Have your efforts evolved along with the Web? Have you notices how more complex it has become to get really good results? Article marketing can be very effective when done right. The question is how are you doing it? I want to tell you about something that seems to be working very well.

As you know many people tout article marketing as one of the best and cheapest ways to get your name out there, get known and get links to your websites. This is true, however, over the last couple of years the results have diminished for the standard methods. Once upon a time, just 2 or 3 years ago internet time, you could post articles that got syndicated to many article directories and you would just get traffic to your website. But now there are so many articles out there that your article is just another ad page for directory owners in the vast sea of pages on the Internet.

And, as you also know, the Internet is constantly changing and so must you if you want the best results for your marketing efforts. What once worked very well in not working so well now. With the increased popularity in blogs and in social networking it is evident where the attention is going. If you want to get under the noses of potential customers and clients, you need to be where they are. Sure, many people still find what they are looking for through search engines, but they are also spending a lot of time in blogs and social networking sites.
