How Do I Get More People To See My Content Online?

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Merry

When you are just starting out, it is very easy to get discouraged and feel that nobody is looking at your stuff. And – I know – every Tom, Dick and Harry has their ideas of what you should do.

Why do the big guys – and ladies – get all the views? Hmmm. Let’s look at a couple of things:

1) The “gurus” have been at it longer and just have more content out there

2) They KNOW they are “THE Dude”

Circumstances are as circumstances are. That is all. There are things out there you can do nothing about.

Someone out on the internet with consistent content for a longer period of time than you is something you cannot go back and change. Now get over it.

You can, however, do something today! Start consistently putting out your content. Google likes consistency. Set a schedule, line it out on a calendar, and stick to it.

If your schedule does not allow you time on a certain day to post on your blog, go ahead and prepare your content, then use WordPress Editorial Calendar to keep you on task.

Just think! Daily writing – and publishing – a piece of content for 90 days puts 90 pieces of your content out on the internet. How many do you have today?

Now you start to stretch and multiply those pieces of content. Easy Peasy.

Once the content is originally written, you can then extend the life of the piece by refreshing it into other forms such as video, audio, blog post, twitter messages, etc. More on that later.

Now on to KNOWING you are THE DUDE!

Mindset comes before motivation in more than the dictionary.

What is your mission?

What is your cause?

Why are you even out there on the internet?

Who are you looking to help – and what are you able to help them with?

If you don’t know – convey that – send out the energy from the tips of your fingers in every word – your audience cannot possibly relate, respond, or will ever even look for you.

Remember, people don’t go looking for you because you have something to say.

People go looking for information – for answers to their questions.

Do you KNOW in your gut – down in the pit of your stomach – you have something that can release others from the shackles holding them hostage?

What kept you up at night, wondering how to solve your problem, crying when nobody else was looking (you hoped), that lead you to the answers you feel the need to share?

You HAVE to know you are THE DUDE with the answers!

Now! Go out there with your 90 Day Plan — Knowing your target audience is looking for your answers.

And on a consistent action plan, attract your target market and give them the answers they are looking for.

I’ve whopped you kinda hard this time. I hope you know that is how much I care.

I am here to help. Just call or drop me a line.

What’s In The Power of YOUR Dream?

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Merry

I dedicate this post to The Great Edward Elliott and his wife Julie and to Big Dog Paul Gaume and his wife Linda. Truly inspirational people.

Do you have a 100 year vision? Edward and Julie Elliott and Paul and Linda Gaume do.

This is a very uncomfortable question for some. Due to today’s economy many can’t see a future.

Dreams have been crushed.

Oh, I’m too old, young, broke, stupid, sick and tired, whatever, to think about those things.

All excuses. All in your mind!

We become what we focus on and think about. Period.

If this message gives you goose bumps, or at least intrigues you to follow further, snoop around my site a bit more. Check out my friends like Edward, Julie, Paul and Linda … Here.

Compensation Plan Worth Its Weight in Gold

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Merry

Are you looking for the BEST compensation plan?
Are you searching to find what will work for you?

Believe me . . . I have been down that road.

Do you feel like the money keeps eluding YOU?
In whatever plan you are in –
people are making boat loads of money!!
Whether on your job, in MLM, the industry you work in, where ever you are.

Why not you? You are worth it!

Then what is it that keeps eluding you?
What is it that makes the difference between you
not making what you are worth —

and the guys up the ladder
making boat loads of money?

Think with me for a minute.

When you look at a truly sustainable, long lasting, stable business,

the higher up in the organizational ladder you go,
what do you find?

• Compassion
• Emotional Intelligence
• Compassionate Capitalism

Look at: Rich DeVos, Amway; Bill Gates, Microsoft;
Henry Ford, Ford Foundation; and on and on.

This isn’t anything new.
We learn of these principles to live by in places
like a book I read called Proverbs

and demonstrated by people we all have read about
like Ben Franklin.

Are you living who you say you are?

I was on a mastermind conference call earlier today.
I heard the following:

Don’t let what you don’t got
dictate what you can’t get

Read that again.

Don’t let what you don’t got
dictate what you can’t get

Let’s think about that . . . Is what we don’t have in our pocket,

bank account, mattress,

unconsciously telling us what we can’t have?

Telling us we aren’t worth what another person is worth?

Whoa!! Hold on just a dog gone minute!!

To find the BEST compensation plan available to man
(note: here is the secret) look in the mirror.

To what degree do you demonstrate the above principles in your life?

Let’s be honest here. If we want to change
how the world (neighbor, friend) looks at us,

we have to change how we see our world.

It is as simple as that.
It isn’t about the compensation plan.
Or we would all be top income earners.

It is about the person we become that allows us to receive more because we become more to others.

Why AM I Such A Dork?

Posted on February 18, 2011 by Merry

Whoah!!!! What makes you think you are a dork?
If I called you a dork you would more than punch me through the wall!

Watch this video .. I know .. just go ahead .. take a peek .. and listen …

WE are the only ones that can make up our minds. We vote ourselves in or out of the “dork club”.

What we speak about in private ….. is what we will reveal in public. Hm…. Think about that (pause)

If we are telling ourselves – remember we have two ears and one mouth for a reason — If we are telling ourselves things about ourselves — we will come to reveal those things in public to others.

Go ahead poke around my site. Don’t forget to put in your name and email for more Great Tidbits!

Is Success Measured by the Amount of Money You Make?

Posted on February 11, 2011 by Merry

Many of us feel we have not been “successful” until we have amassed a pile of money. That may be true for some. No judgment. For many of us more money, financial stability, is our goal.

Maya Angelou writes, “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.”

Today’s economy is full of people out to make money. They hurry to be the first and the loudest to shove something in front of us and do their best to get us to buy. I ask you: How’s that working for you?
When money is the goal, there is no concern about how it is obtained. A person can be a robber, thief, extortionist, pick-pocket, and make a pile of money. Most of us do not want to go about paying for our lifestyle in that manner – so let’s take a little different look.

Follow me here with a little bit of mind shift. Let’s take our sights off the pile of money (dirty green pieces of paper) and look at what “success” really looks like in our life. What do you want to be remembered by? What would you imagine your last words to be before your last breathe? What do you want to be said about you at your memorial service? If you were to receive an award, what would that award be for?

This is what Maya Angelou is talking about. Finding that unique place inside you that is churning for a way out. Something you would love to do but not given yourself permission to explore. Perhaps you think you might fall on your face in front of people you care about. Perhaps you think people will laugh and scoff at you – think you crazy – all you friends would go away.

Now think – WHAT IF??? . . . Of course you are not accomplished at it to start. None of us are! You haven’t given yourself time. No one is a real “over-night” success.

Success has other measurements including accomplishing something you would love to do. When you find a way to become accomplished at what you love to do, share from your heart with others, and find those looking for you – KA BAM!!! They think you are successful. . . . . . Question: What do you think?
