How Do You Get Your Traffic?
I have a fantastic find for you to look at today….
But first let me ask you a question…
Have you ever wondered how some people seem to get swarms of traffic to their sites for free?
You may have been told it’s all about ranking high on search engines such as Google and that in turn depends on getting backlinks.
Yeah, right! How’s the ordinary person supposed to understand any of this?
Haven’t you ever wished someone would simplify all this for you so that you just have a to click a few buttons?
Well today I want to recommend a script to you that does just that.
Yes, it’s true you can just install the script, paste in your website address and press some buttons. That’s it.
Oh, and there’s also two upgraded versions available so watch out for the customise your order page!
These give you massive additional benefits:
You can add your own name and website link to the script and give it away or sell it. When people install the script on their sites you then get additional backlinks to your site and also traffic. There’s one more benefit as well – your
Affiliate ID is also stored in the script so you get commission on any sales of the upgraded scripts made when someone clicks on your links (including
links in the scripts you gave away!)
This is a very viral system and once you start it the links, traffic and commissions grow almost by themselves. (Actually via other people doing the work for you but you get the idea.)
I can highly recommend you grab a copy of this script while it’s FREE.
Do You Squidoo?
I recently read an ebook on Squidoo Lens and signed up for a free account and started working on my first Lens. Of course the subject I choose was Marketing after the death of your spouse, since that is what I know right now. It is still a work in progress and it is another important skill that I believe Marketer’s need to have since the more way you can get traffic to your website and/or your name out there the better.
Here is the link to my Lens, leave me a suggestion or comment please.

Wouldn’t you like it if you could tap into that same huge traffic funnel and send it to your site instead? What if I told you that not only could you, but I’m going to show you 21 proven techniques to send a flood of viral traffic to your site!
Focus is the Key to Success
Owning your own business is a dream for many people. Being able to
call your own shots and set your own hours is certainly an
appealing idea. However, often people realize their dream only to
discover that working on their own and running their own business
is much more difficult than they ever expected.
There is a lot more to running your own business than simply
working day by day. There are distractions at every turn and often
people find it difficult to actually get anything accomplished. For
all these people who are struggling, what they need to do is focus.
Usually when you’re trying to run your own business, you have more
than one project going at once. So the first thing you need to make
sure you focus on is one project at a time. Beyond the projects,
you also want to make sure you have a very clear focus of what you
want to accomplish and how much money you want to make.
Before you can even begin to get focused you first need to make
sure you’re organized. If you’re one of those people who cringes
when the word “organization” is mentioned then don’t worry. You
just need to get organized enough so that you know what needs to
get done. This means you need to make a schedule that includes both
what you need to complete long-term and what you need to do for
that day.
Once you know what you need to get done on a specific day then you
need to focus on just those tasks. So break the tasks down even
further. How long will each of them take you? When exactly will you
work on them? Once you know these things then you just need to
focus on each task when you’re supposed to be doing it. In other
words, don’t worry about anything else except what you’ve planned
to focus on.
You want to be able to focus on each project and you also want to
keep track of how long each project takes you to complete. Then you
need to keep track of how much money you make from each project.
That way you can tell how productive you’re being. You can even
chart exactly how much money you’re making each hour and each day. This way you’ll be able to focus on the projects that are most profitable for you.
When you go into business for yourself, you can quickly lose
yourself in the avalanche of everyday tasks and your long-term
goals. That’s why it’s so important to focus on exactly what you
want to do.
Becoming focused and staying that way will help you know exactly
what needs to be done each day so that you are productive each day.
Focus will also help you complete your long-term goals faster and
focus will allow you to know how much money you are making per day, per week, and per project.
Focus will help you be more successful daily and with your entire
business.
I Made It
Well I made to California yesterday. Wyoming was an experience as I was going from Laramie to Rawlins, through some mountains and storm was brewing. As I was coming down the it started to rain and there is no place to turn off or stop. We I finally got down the rain got really bad but finally passed and was clear for a little while but as I got closer to Rawlins it started to rain again and was getting close to evening so I pulled off for the night.
The next morning I left at 7am, crossed the Continetal Divide and drove roughly 12 hours until I finally reach Reno where my boyfriend was working a baseball game. There are a lot of mountains between Missouri and Nevada and I’m not crazy about mountain driving but the U-Haul handled very well and I eventually got use to driving next to semis and passing them when necessary. It took me 3 days to finally get to Reno and I’m glad that drive is over.
Now I will need to settle in and start my new routine here in California and continue to grow in my knowledge of being an IM’er.
Trip Update
Well I wasn’t able to leave on the 8th as I had planned, there was complications thanks to my son being difficult. So I left Columbia, MO around 1:30pm on the 9th and made it to Lincoln, Nebraska that night around 9pm. The I-29 interchange to I-80 in Nebraska was just nuts but I got through it.
This morning I left Lincoln around 8am got through the rest of Nebraska and into Wyoming today. But the weather in Wyoming was not very cooperative today. I went through Medicine Bow National Park and in the distance I could see the clouds were getting darker and not very friendly looking but after you pass Laramie, WY there is nothing around until Rawlings so there was no choice but to keep going. It had started to rain as I was coming down out of Medicine Bow National Park and when I got down it really got bad. The radio kept giving out National Services Advisory which was Sever Thunder Storms Warnings and Tornado Watch and I’m thinking great I spent 10 years in Missouri without seeing a tornado and now I will probably see on in Wyoming out in the middle of nowhere lol. But at least I didn’t see one of those today but the storm was bad enough, I could barely see the tail lights of the car in front of me.
After that storm passed and I was able to pick up speed again I could make up some time as I wanted to get as close to Utah as possible but Mother Nature had other plans as the closer I got to Rawlings, WY another storm was brewing and it was after 6pm and I thought this is a good place to stop for the night. So tomorrow I will have a lot of driving to do as I really need to get to Reno tomorrow.
Update On Move
Son found a new place to live so he will start moving out on Tues.
I’m Leaving Tomorrow…
I just wanted to let you all know that I’ve got the uhaul truck to day and will finish loading it up tomorrow morning. I meet with the middleman at 2pm to go through the house and if every looks good I give him the keys and he gives me the money agreed upon for me clearing out in 21 days. Then I will be heading on my journey to meet my boyfriend in Reno.
I will be going through Nebraska, Wyoming, down through Utah then Nevada. I’m hoping to get at least through Nebraska tomorrow before I stop for the night. I will post again tomorrow night to let you all know where I”m at in my journey.
