Blog Hopping and Presence
About 30 years ago a mate named Stuie and I would get dressed up in our finest going out gear and hit the pubs and clubs on a Friday and Saturday night. Of course we told ourselves that we were out for a good time, in reality we were out to impress the fairer sex. To put it bluntly we were trying to “snag a chick” or more hopefully find the lady of our dreams.
Now the girls would tell me that Stuie was pretty easy on the eye so I thought I had chosen a pretty good wingman. We thought we had all the moves covered and we had no trouble convincing girls to let us buy them drinks all night long. This was however where it ended.
One Saturday night we were getting ready to hit the town when my sister who in her day had she not been my sister would have fit very nicely into our target market asked us how we had been going. So when I told her how fantastically we had been going and girls were falling over themselves to go out with us she new straight up that I was lying.
Life’s Little Challenges
I am sure I am like many of you out there, life can get pretty full on at times. I run a small internet based business from home and 2 weeks ago we were lucky enough to get a feature article in one of Australia’s largest newspapers which resulted in a flood of new work. Of course we wanted to maximise the benefit of this free promotion and not disappoint any of our new customers so I have been working 12 hour days 7 days a week for the last couple of weeks. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining about all this extra work, its fantastic, we are making great money but this combined with a new 9 week old son (no I’m not getting much sleep!) means that on a daily basis I have not been able to put a lot of time aside for my IM tasks. In fact just getting through the day has had to been a real battle.
Google Keywords – A Useful Free Tool
Google Keywords
How to Utilize the Free Google Keywords Tool
If you are new to internet marketing and in particular niche marketing, you will definitely want to use the free tool from Google – Google Keywords. The entire google system works around the use of keywords, i.e the specific words people type into the google search to find the particular service or product they are after. Google keeps a database of these searches and you can access this data for free. You will want to use keywords in the body of the articles, blog posts and descriptions of your youtube videos. It will help to rank both your videos and website.

Dare to Dream
G’day
Dave Jeffreys from Australia here. I am Married to Melanie and we have a 4 week old son named Will.
10 years ago I was in a well paid corporate job wishing 5 out of every 7 days of my life away. I knew things had to change!
But how? The answer was to take action.
Was this easy? No! I was bogged down with 2 questions. What else can I do? What if I fail?
The change came for me in realizing that the answer to those two questions were not really important and that the most important thing was to take action – any action.
I now live in a small sea side tourist village and work from home. We have a web based business printing other peoples images on to artists canvas. I enjoy my life and things would look pretty good from the out side. Trouble is having taken action to change my life in the past I now know that anything is possible.
Some years after leaving the corporate job Melanie and I found ourselves running a 47ft charter catamaran in the Caribbean. The dream job for us.
