Life is a continuous journey of cycles and events.  When we’re on our way to achieving success things can easily get away from us.  And quickly!

How many times have you found yourself sitting there, knowing that you have a bunch of stuff that you need to do, but not having a clue what?

I’ll tell you right now who this happens to and you may not like it, but I’m a straight shooter.  This happens to the people who have no discipline and have not developed the habits in their life in order to get the things that need to get done…done.

When you are able to prioritize things and delay your gratification…which means doing the things that need done, before doing the things that are fun to do, you’ve began the process of building self-discipline.

The key to carrying out self-discipline are habits.  You must get into the habit of doing the tasks that get you closer to a successful life every single day like clockwork.  When this happens great things begin to happen in what seems a very short period of time.  This is because your discipline is having an accumulative effect, and each task, each day, builds onto the next…and eventually you end up one day as having a successful life.

Those people who don’t take the time to build self-discipline and good habits are the people that you see in life who flounder along.  They’re the people who always jump from one next great thing to the other, because they don’t have the discipline to stick with one thing long enough to see it through to fruition.

You must have a goal, or better yet, a plan, and you must do the things each and everyday to reach that goal to the end.  If not, then instead of going from A to Z with your goal, you’ll get stuck somewhere in the middle…perhaps at around P or worse H, and start something over again.

What happens then?

That’s right; you have to start again at A!  If you’re always starting at A, and never making your way to Z… that is a life begging for failure.  What’s it take to get from A to Z?

You guess it.  It takes discipline, and the habits to carry out that discipline.

Your life is a series of events and tasks.  Letting the events go by, without performing the needed tasks is the quickest way there is to flounder around through life never getting anywhere.

Take the time to develop your self-discipline and good habits and you’ll very soon find yourself at that coveted Z, with a goal that’s been reached, and another success under your belt.

In an earlier post I talked about Passive Income as being one of the most profound aspects of building wealth.  This is the truth, but the fact of the matter is that there is one aspect which is paramount over any other when it comes to wealth building, especially wealth building in a hurry, and that is Relationships.

Here’s the thing that few people mention when they talk about building wealth and becoming rich.  No matter what happens in this world, there’s always a linkage of people who actually make it happen.  No man or woman can becomes wealthy on their own effots without dealing with people in one way or the other.

Let’s face it, people are the ones who are going to give you their money for your services right?  For people to feel comfortable giving you their usually hard earned money they have to perceive what you have for them as having intricate value for them, and they have to feel comfortable and trust you.

That comfort and trust is built on your relationship with them.

This is why building relationships is the key to building wealth.  There are various types of relationships that you’ll have to build and cultivate to truly see major success.

In essence, one of the things that you should get into the habit of, which is rare and will put you in a small percentage of the population, is to learn to see the good in everyone you meet.  Dan Kennedy, the business and marketing consultant that the business and marketing consultants go to for advice says that “everyone on Earth is here for a purpose even if only to serve as poor example.”

This is true, but the fact is that if you learn to see the good in people then you have something to go on to build a relationship with them.  The majority of people in this world like to see the bad in everyone they meet.  They would rather gossip and talk about that person – to the other people that they gossip and talk about – than to actually form a friendship or bond with them and get to know them.  Getting to know just one right person can change your whole life forever, and often times it’s the people that we think will mostly likely have nothing to offer for us that have the most to offer.

This is not to say that you should form relationships just for your benefit.  You see that’s where people will often make a huge mistake.

If you read the post on self-value, you’ll remember I advised that you need to serve people and therefore become valuable to that person.  Then and only then will you ever get anything from any relationship, and rightly so.  It’s a cause and effect action and that’s one of the laws of the universe.  You can never truly expect anything when you haven’t created a cause for the outcome…the effect.

By building relationships on the foundation of your value, you’ll begin to see that people are attracted to you and will be standing in line to build relationships with you.

The types of relationships that you’ll need to build are:

• With the everyday people in you life (remember, you never know which person will have the most immense effect on your life)…

• The people who you work with who are your peers…these are the people who you can expect to partner with and increase the value of both parties.

• Your prospects and customers (this is a biggie)…no business is complete or even possible to succeed or thrive without customers and prospective customers…

• Mentors…these are people who can help you grow to new heights in your life and your business…but the fact is that you need to show them value before they’ll truly care to share their knowledge and expertise with you…

• Those that you can mentor.  It’s important that you give back to the world and the universe and one of the best ways to do that, if not the best way, is to mentor someone yourself.

If you’re not building relationships then you’re not actively building your life. It’s time you took stock in your life right now and the relationships that you have built, and begin to truly become of service to people and watch your relationship base grow in leaps and bounds.  You’ll thank yourself very soon for doing so.

There’s a bit of a new buzz phrase online right now that everyone seems to be talking about. The phrase is Social Networking or sometimes called Web 2.0.  This refers to sites that let users correspond almost directly with one another through various methods online, and through different applications.  It sort of involves instant messaging, forums, etc. all in one place.

Of course you’ve heard about Myspace and that would be what most people know about social networking, but that’s only touches on a very small percentage of the scope.  It expands very broadly beyond that.

The important thing is that though social networking does get hyped up a bit, it can be extremely effective in getting your marketing message out there, and also helping you get your website into the search engines.  It’s a bit of a two-fold benefit and I’ll explain why.

First of all, the online world has moved in this direction basically in response to all the crap that was crowding the online world.  Stagnant websites were basically clogging up the internet and nobody was getting much use out of them.  People were being bombarded with highly irrelevant messages and never being able to find what they needed, when they needed it.

It was quite tragic because we had this great tool in our hands and it was starting to get ruined.

The answer to that was Web 2.0 sites, which let people – internet users – help each other decide what was actually useful online and what wasn’t.  It also gave people a platform of their own to display their value, and project their opinions freely.

All sorts of information can be and is shared through social networking… from re-connecting with friends, recommending new music, new movies, great books, political news that’s up to the minute, and all sorts of other things.

Granted, the whole Web 2.0 phenomenon was created to get rid of useless advertising but when done correctly it’s very effective to put your advertising in front of people in a way that doesn’t insult or annoy, but is deemed as highly useful.

In a separate post I explain why content is king online and how to most effectively advertise online by being more discreet, and providing information that people want rather than try to shove your marketing message down their throat.  This is one of the great reasons that Social Networking is great for exactly this use.

But there’s another important reason as well…

You see, since Google’s main purpose to exist is to be relevant for people searching for information, and they’re constantly trying to give them the exact information that they’re looking for right now… they actually LOVE the social networking sites for that very reason.

They love up-to-date highly relevant information and that’s precisely what web 2.0 sites offer, and therefore will reward these sites rather quickly with high search engine placements.

Now like everything in life, Social Networking and Web 2.0 aren’t limited to one single aspect. There are many different types of sites that qualify as being apart of the Web 2.0 phenomenon.  These include sites for actually networking like Myspace, Facebook,  Flickr, and even dating sites like Adult Friend Finder.

Then there are different bookmarking sites which allow users to post intriguing web pages and articles and rate them online at certain sites like Digg, Technorati, Zimbio, etc.

There are also blogging sites that allow you to post articles as well as a profile of yourself like Squidoo, Hubpages, Gather, Blogger, etc.

There are many forms of social networking and the key to taking advantage of them is to learn how to inter-connect them all to one another so that you control your own network of information, and therefore direct the user/reader from what site of yours to the next.

When you’ve mastered this…or even gotten pretty good at it…you’ll begin to see your messages taking on lives of their own and creating a stir across the internet!

Don’t be fooled into thinking that Social Networking is for the kids.  Use it to your advantage while still respecting the other internet users and it’s a win/win situation.

The term internet marketing is thrown around very loosely these days.  I guess it can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people in a sense, depending on the business that you’re in.  But essentially, internet marketing is simply using the new and vast media…the internet…to market your products or services.

Pretty simple right?

You get online and you start marketing. Well, it’s not as simple as that unfortunately.

Here’s what most people will do…they’ll get online and put up what they think to be a nice looking website full of fancy graphics, and silly animations, put a little bit of info about their product, and a ton of info about themselves, stumble through the hosting and getting it up online…and then sit and wait.  And wait…and wait…and wait some more!

But the problem is that this is closer to a train wreck than it is internet marketing.

If someone does happen to stumble upon your website…which they very likely will unless you’ve actually told them the URL, they might stay at your site, but only in amazement, much in the way that people will sit and stare at a train wreck.

This my friend, is not internet marketing.  This is simply having a website (a bad one) up on the internet. There’s a huge difference.

How Internet Marketing Should Look in the Beginning at Least…

So first of all, you should know that just building a website doesn’t mean anybody will ever come to it.  The building of the website is just a step in the process.  The good part is that that’s where most of your competition stops so just knowing this puts you far ahead of the curve.

Even more importantly is how you build your website.

Before you even begin you need to really have a very specific idea in mind of what you want to accomplish with that site.   You need to know exactly who you’re targeting to come to that site…who your customers are, who your prospects are, etc.  The more you know about this the more success you can expect, and that’s before you even write a single word on your site.  I’m simply talking about the structure and navigation of your site.

When you do put your message on your site, the content… please don’t make the mistake that millions of people who are clogging up the internet have done.  Don’t talk obsessively about yourself.  You need to always show people the benefits that THEY will receive for doing business, or teaming up with you.  It’s not about you, it’s about the prospect.  It’s about the READER.  ALWAYS!

There’s much more to the sales message than I could possibly get into here, but that’s a good start…focusing on the target audience.

If I Build It, Will They Come?

We all wish it were that easy.  The internet is a vast, vast place. There are billions and billions of web pages online all vying for attention.  Luckily most people all do it the hope and pray method, and we all know that hope is not a strategy so you luck out there.

There are things that you MUST do to get visitors to your website…it’s called website traffic, and you want as much of it as humanly possible.  But…you want targeted traffic, from the exact people who WANT to read your message.  You want to get yourself right in front of them.  Once you’ve done that, you increase your chances of success drastically.

I will continue to post more material about internet marketing on this blog, but it’s important that you take note of what I’ve said here, because these are the make or break mistakes that people make before they even get a good chance to start.

Oh, and by the way, stay away from the crazy graphics, bright backgrounds, and animations on your site, unless they serve a very, very useful purpose.  You’ll thank me for that advice later.

How many times have you heard that you need goals in order to achieve huge success, wealth and all of that good stuff?  Probably a ton I’m sure, but guess what?  You haven’t been giving the full story on goals.  And if you have, you probably didn’t follow through with the full story.

You see, your goals don’t mean nothing when they’re just listed out on a piece of paper one after the other randomly.  The problem is that these aren’t goals; these are just wishes and aspirations.  Wishes and aspirations are good in their own sense, and are the predecessors to true goals, but they’re not goals.

What you’ve been told a million times is that goals must be written down for you to achieve them.  But like I stated above, a written goal is just a wish of something that you want on a piece of paper.

So when does a goal become a true goal?

A written goal should be accompanied by some very crucial information for it to mean squat. Here’s what you need for your goals to actually be more than just a fancy written wish:

1)    Written…Yes it does HAVE to be written.  This is true because if not written it’s just a fancy thought, which is even less effective than a fancy written wish. ?

2)     Specific… Lofty general goals are better than no goal at all, but a goal like “I want to make more money” compared to… “I want to have $550,000 in savings and a spendable income of $30,000 a month” is much more specific and gives your mind a laser fine target to shoot for.

3)    Deadline… If you don’t set a deadline for your goal to be achieved by you’ll never commit on reaching it. You’ll flounder around it, with it hanging over your head, but never really coming to fruition.

4)    Plan of Action… Here’s where the proverbial rubber meets the road my friend.  So far the fancy wish has matured into a goal, and now it’s time for the goal to turn into a true PLAN!  This is your blue-print, your map, your personal instructions…you get the picture.   Now the best way to do this is to figure out what you want and work backwards from there.  Let’s say you want $30,000 a month income.  Well, that’s $1000 a day, so how are you going to start making $1000 a day.

To make your goal even more achievable you’ll want to break this down into a timeline and break the big goal into smaller goals.  Let’s face it, to make $30,000 a month from zero a month isn’t going to likely happen the first month.  So you need to figure out a reasonable deadline as stated above, and then create smaller milestone goals to reach on your way there.  Maybe get to $1000 a month, then $5000, next $10,000 etc.  You get the idea.  Now you’ve got the basis of a plan, but now you need to include into your plan…

5)    Probable obstacles and solutions for them.  You’re definitely going to hit obstacles on your journey so you want to try to foresee those obstacles as much as possible and develop strategies to overcome them along the way.  One way you’ll be able to do that is by…

6)    Figuring Out the People that Will Help You Reach Your Goals…as stated in my post about relationships, this is what makes the world go round.  You’ll need people in your life who can help you reach your goals, so you may as well strategically seek them out, and begin to build and cultivate those relationships with them in the way that I spell it out in the article I refer to above regarding relationships.

So as you can see, just writing down a laundry list of things that you want in life on a piece of paper doesn’t necessarily qualify them as goals.  And if you’ve done that, and have been wondering why your goals are becoming reality, then you may want to reassess and turn your wishes into true goals, and your goals into a true plan of action.

With nearly everything in life there are two ways to do something… the easier way or the harder way.

More often than not the easier way pretty much correlates to the most efficient and effective way.  I suppose this isn’t the absolute 100% truth and that sometimes the easier way isn’t the most effective — but the lazier way — but for the most part the easier way usually wins the game.

Network marketing is no exception and therefore there is an easier way and a harder way to market for prospects.  These are made up of either chasing or attracting prospects.  Which would you say would be the easiest?

Let’s just start with the harder way.  Chasing!  Chasing anything anytime is never easy or very much fun.

Tell me this…is it easier to go out and chase your food and kill it or is it easier to just go to the store and buy it.  It might be a bit of a stretch but you could almost say that the delivery drivers are bringing the food to you.  Sure, you still have to drive to the store and pick it up, but essentially it’s brought to your store, that you like, and that’s easiest for you to get to.

How about in the dating world?  Clearly we’d all rather have members of the opposite sex, hopefully intriguing ones, approach us rather than having to go out and try to pick them up.  Wouldn’t you say that’s true?

Well, in network marketing, the best and most effective way to market for prospects is clearly to have them come to you instead of you having to chase them around.  Now this may seem a bit impossible at this point in your career, but let me assure you that it’s totally and completely possible.

You see there are tons of people out there in the world at this very minute actively looking for an opportunity to make more money and/or start their own business.  In fact, there are tons of people actively looking to start a network marketing business.

You may not think that because the common model of talking to family, friends, and neighbors requires that you chase prospects that haven’t shown an inkling of interest in your business.

This can be a great way to build your business, and my wife and Ann and I have built two entirely separate fortunes this exact way, but if you’re not careful it can lead you to believe that these are the only choices you have, and there aren’t any people actually looking.  But there are, each and every single day.

So the key of attraction marketing is to get these people to come to you instead of you coming to them right?  So how do you do that?

It’s important to know what your prospect is looking for.

Sure… they want more money and you do have a way for them to make that, but that’s only a small piece of the puzzle. Think of yourself when you’ve looked for an opportunity to make more money.

What did you look for?

You probably looked for information on how to earn more money right?  You may have looked for information on how to start your own business.  What you were ultimately looking for was a teacher.

You were looking for the teacher by first searching for the message.  You wanted information, but when you find that information… high quality content driven information – NOT a SALES PITCH – you then want to learn more from the person who provides that information.  You wanted more of that person.

You were attracted to that person right?

So then, if you want to attract prospect through attraction marketing you simply need to learn to reverse that system.  You know that people are looking for information so you simply must be the conduit to that information, and build trust within that person that you hold what they need right now…the knowledge to make more money.

Once you’ve done that, you’ve become highly attractive and valuable to that individual.  That’s attraction marketing and it’s pretty darn simple.

What is your Self-Value?  Do you know?  Do you have a clue?

Though they do go a hand-in-hand in many ways, and though one gives a clue to the other, Self-Esteem and Self-Value are actually two different things and should not be confused.

Self-Esteem has more to do with your feelings of yourself and how much pride you have in yourself.

Self Value however has more to do with what your value is to not only yourself but in other areas as well.  There are actually three main levels that you should concern yourself with when it comes to self value and I’m going to cover them now.

The First Level of Self-Value is just that…how valuable you are to yourself.  This is the level in which self-esteem actually plays the biggest part.  This level covers how you think of yourself in regards to your own ideals.  How you meet up to those ideals and principals.

It regards how you live up to your own expectation of life.  Do you conduct your life, and treat yourself in the same manner of respect that you require other people to treat you?  This can become a cycle in a way, because your perception of your self-value and self-worth determines how you actually expect people to treat you and respect.

In other words if you don’t feel that you have a high self-value or self-worth, then you’re not going to expect other people…or hold other people to treating you as if you do.  So it’s important that we give ourselves a fair valuation and not sell our selves short, but just as well not try to fool ourselves so much that we don’t aim for improvement.

The Second Level of Self-Value is your actual value to others.  This is how others see you and perceive you in their eyes.  The way to raise the bar on this level is by service to others.

Now some people hear this word “service” and run the other way because they feel as though “serve” means to bow down to and/or essentially become dependant upon or answer to someone.  This is far from the case.

You see, the only way that you can actually build any sort of value for yourself is by actually serving people and showing people first that you are valuable.  You see this in every area of your life.  Let’s say you own a business.  Well, in order to attract business you have to prove to people that you are worthy of their business.  If people are going to pay you for your service, they want to know that what they are paying for is worth it.

If you show them that this is true then they will not only be happy with your service and not ask for a refund, but they’ll also show their appreciation in continuing to do business with you, plus spread the word that you’re worthy of doing business with.

In order for this to happen you have to perform your service extremely well and create value.  You also need to maintain that value by constantly and consistently performing the same service.

Let’s take my business network marketing for instance.  In network marketing you’re essentially wealth coach…someone who teaches people how to grow their business to new heights.  My job is to bring people into the business, and teach them how I grow my business.  Well, in order for that to happen, people need to see that I’m able to teach them exactly that.  How to grow their business in leaps and bounds!

My wife and I have actually done this thousands of times over, and now have a massive self-value because of it.  People want to work with us because they see that we have value.  That’s why it’s very important to build your self-value up extremely high.

If you do this then you’ll never be in want of money.

The Third Stage of Self-Value is value to the world.  Many people don’t ever consider this stage but frankly it’s the most important of all.  You see, this doesn’t have to be monetary at all.  Your value to the world can be determined on very simple things.  Your service to others, how you treat people, your attitude toward people, how you motivate others, how you help others build their own self-esteem and self-value, how you give back to the community, etc.

It’s you, making the world an overall better place.  This is self-value that you can feel directly every single day.

All of these stages are completely essential and make up the triangle of self-value.  What you should be doing now is everything in your power to continually and consistently build yours.  As you do this, your wealth will follow and work its self out.

“Our attitude tells the world what we expect in return.  If it’s a cheerful, expectant attitude, it says to everyone with whom we come in contact that we expect the best in our dealings with our world.”  ~ Earl Nightingale

Let me start with a question.  Out of a seven day week, how many of those days would you say that you wake up with a positive, “ready to take on the world” attitude?

I’m willing to predict that your answer is probably either 1 or 2 if you’re being honest…especially if you work outside the home 5 days a week.  To be really honest, I know some people who never wake up with a positive attitude so the answer for them is a big fat zero.

Have you ever considered the effect that waking up and starting your day like this, with a negative outlook, has on your entire life?  Would you say that it’s held you back a bit?  If you’re saying “no” then you’re lying to yourself.

Your attitude holds the key to your level of success in life, hands-down before anything else.

Nightingale goes on to state: “It is then our attitude toward life that determines life’s attitude toward us”.  What he means by this is really pretty simple…the attitude that you reflect outwards is reflected right back toward you.

Now this might just seem like some crazy “Secret” type motivational speech talk…but the fact is that until you take a good hard look at your attitude toward life, toward yourself, and toward all the people around you, your results in any endeavor are going to be and remain dismal.

On any one of those days that you’ve woken up “on the wrong side of bed” so to speak, with a less than desirable attitude… have you noticed that nothing else seemed to go your way on those days?  If you felt like the world was against you it’s because you were against the world, and it was just reflecting back what you were putting out.

Your attitude sets the tone for everything in YOUR life…for your, and only your reality.

You see, your reality is the only reality that you can ever be aware of at anytime.  Everything that you see and do comes through your perceptions, through your eyes, and your mind, and therefore what you see…and how you perceive anything at all, is totally unique to how anybody else sees it.

But the great thing is that with a change in attitude, you can actually change the way you see and perceive something.  Depending on your attitude you can change whether or not it becomes a negative or positive.  Some call this a paradigm shift.  You shift your paradigm of perception.

So now what does this have to do with your chances of success?

Well basically it goes like this.  Your quality of life – or lack of – is directly shaped by your attitude toward life.  You then are like the sculptor of your life, and your attitude is your number one sculpting tool.  This is because, since everything that you put out…attitude wise…is reflected back to you, then if you’re putting out a positive attitude that looks for the good in everything and everyone; that sees life as a winning game where there’s an abundance of prizes at the end; and as a life of vast opportunity then all of that will be reflected right back toward you.

It has to because that’s the perception and the reality that you’re creating for yourself.

Your attitude will shape your future…and frankly it’s one of the few things in this world that you actually have control over, so why not take control and mold it into exactly what you want it to be?

It’s pretty startling to me when I hear about someone who is trying to increase their wealth, but trying to do so by getting a raise at work, or a better position at their job.  I feel bad because I know that even if they were to get the raise or promotion, they’ll likely still never get wealthy trying to do so using the type of income that a JOB provides.

In actuality, what they should be trying to do is find a way out of that job, and open their own business.

But even then, there’s a certain type of income that they should be after with their own business, that is the leading way to create wealth in life.  It’s actually the type of income I discovered at a very early age.  In fact, I was only a 12 year old boy living in the Bronx when I discovered the beauty of passive income.

How does a 12 year old kid in the Bronx learn so young about Passive Income?

When I was 12 years old I had my very own newspaper route.  I enjoyed delivering newspapers and all that a route entails, but I also wanted to be able to cover a larger area than I was able to all by myself.  Heck, I had to be at school so there was no way I could cover my area plus some, and still make it to school.  So I hired two other kids, and therefore became an employer and passive income earner.

See having employees meant that I had two other kids doing the work in 2 other areas, and I was able to make money from their efforts.  I took on the routes, did the hiring of the two boys, and then simply let them cover the area for me…hence the word passive.  I didn’t have to be there for the money to come in.

Now, there are many types of passive income to be had, but the mere concept fascinated me to no end and I fell completely in love with it.

My next exposure to passive income in a large and profound way came when I began to work with very high profile clients in the entertainment field.  I procured some of the biggest rock stars in the world as accounting and business management clients (that’s a great story for another time in itself), and was reminded once again of the beauty of passive income.

You see, these guys and gals got paid over and over again for songs that they wrote just one time.  It didn’t matter if it only took them a day to write that song either.  They wrote it, recorded it, and everytime after that when it was bought, or used in anyway they were paid a royalty, over and over again.  Didn’t matter what they were doing, even sleeping or onstage doing what they really loved, or harassing me in their private jets, they kept getting paid over and over.  And again, I saw this first hand…I was their business manager.

To watch this was a little torturous I must admit.  Sure they paid me well, and hooked me up with some of the best amenities in the world, but I still had to be there working to get paid, while they were raking it in no matter what they were doing.

Luckily my wife Ann discovered Network Marketing and it didn’t take me long at all to see right along with her that this was the passive income that I was looking for, and I dove in head first with and never looked back for even a single second.

Passive income is responsible for creating the wealthiest people in the world, and few people get there without it.

Take Bill Gates.  Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, but why?  Because he created a stream of passive income that acted as a gateway to the internet!  He doesn’t have to install Windows on every PC that is sold himself, the factories do it automatically, and each and every time they do so, Microsoft (Bill Gates) gets paid.  And when someone upgrades, guess what, Bill Gates gets paid no matter what the heck he’s doing, over and over again to infinity.

So that is why you should actively be seeking a way to create passive income.  Real Estate, software, licensing (music, movies, and books), and the greatest business in the world for the regular man or woman – Network Marketing – are all forms of the tremendous potential of passive income. .

If you’re marketing online at all then you’ve probably heard about Squidoo.  Squidoo is one of the fastest growing communities online, and in fact it was the 7th fastest growing site online in 2007.  That’s out of billions of websites online today, so that’s no easy task.

But what the heck is Squidoo, besides a site with a funny name.  Squidoo.com is in essence a combination of social networking a blogging, that when combined creates a very powerful concept for promoting your products, services, and even more importantly… your websites.

You see, because of its massive size, Squidoo is seen by Google (the number one search engine in the world) as being an authority site. In other words, Google looks very highly on Squidoo…and a fact that proves that even further is the page rank 7 that Google gives it. It takes a lot of authority to get that high a page rank in Google…7 out of 10.

So basically, with Squidoo… you’re able to create your own page with them, on the topic of your choice. These web pages very often will rank in Google very quickly on their first page if things are done right.

In all honesty, Squidoo does make it pretty simple for the average person to come in and create a site with them.  There’s no doubt that you could go right now, and pretty much have something up within an hour.  The problem though is that if you want all of the benefits that Squidoo can give you…which is huge authority for your sites, and the potential of a ton of traffic, there are a lot of certain steps that you must take to do so.

This is the part that isn’t easy.  This is the part that very few people know all of the in’s and out’s, nuts and bolts about.  There’s keyword research, tags, content that needs to be added correctly, different modules, pinging, bookmarking, linking, etc. etc.  Yes, you can easily create a Squidoo Lens (what they call their sites) but doing so without all of the other things is almost like creating a website and not doing the things that it takes to get traffic to it.

What I’ve done in the very recent past to solve this problem is hired two of the leading authorities on building Squidoo Lenses to just go ahead and build my lenses for me, and I reap all of the benefits of the traffic and the extra branding that they give me.  They even have taught me how to keep up with my Lenses after they were made.

Tiffany Dow is one of the leading authorities on internet marketing today.  Her name might be new to you, but to most of the big shot millionaire internet marketers she’s an old friend, and colleague.  Tiffany was once THE most prominent ghostwriters to the internet marketing guru’s for a very long time until she decided to use her knowledge and venture out on her own.  And venture out she’s done very successfully.

In fact Tiffany wrote the book on Squidoo, with her first big break out product “Social Networking on Squidoo”.  In her book she shows the average person how to create Squidoo lenses that work like crazy to get traffic and customers.

She’s teamed up with another genius marketer and master Squidoo Lens builder named Lewis Smile…here’s just a little bit of Lewis’ Squidoo background…

“Lewis’ Squidoo Stats

Lewis is the author of the fast-growing SquidooCool.com blog. He’s a Citizen Squid Alumni (one of the 6 original lensmasters chosen by Squidoo HQ to work on secret Squidoo projects). He is also a retired SquidAngel (one of the 12 human elements of the Squidoo algorithm).

He has achieved Lens of the Day THREE TIMES, which is more than anyone else, so he knows exactly what it takes to make a great lens. In total, his lenses have spent over 600+ days in the Top 100 LensRank list, and he has achieved the elusive Lensrank 1.

And he has created over 500 lenses and groups across various Squidoo accounts, so he’s no stranger to the ‘Create a Lens’ button! Lewis is also a Giant Squid. Oh, and he recently won the ‘I Love Squidoo’ competition.
