Best selling products on the internet . . .

Make money on the Internet via Niche Marketing.

You won’t believe his manner. I hated it at first, but I don’t really believe soft-sell sales people any longer so I braced myself and got through his diatribe. He knows what he’s talking about.

Keep the search engines happy or “hide” on “their” Internet.

Feed search engines such as google fresh fodder daily or be ignored. They have more than 65% of the search traffic. You absolutely have to keep them happy or you will not have a presence on “their” Internet.

In the event you don’t believe one CAN Prosper in Pajamas, may we remind you of the infamous Hugh Hefner who built a multi-million dollar empire while clad in pajamas.

All prayers are welcome during this process; if we can do it, so can you.

I talk about affiliate programs in workshops each month, so it seemed worthwhile to post it here also. There’s a LOT of information and it can get overwhelming, but here are basics. If you are stuck finding full-time work, or if you just want additional income or a different path, then affiliate/vendor marketing may be for you. Just add items to your blog and/or eMails to family and friends.

Why not blog? Given this economy, it’s not like you’re going to get a job this month.

To get a job in today’s market, to keep your job, to stay in touch, and to learn and to keep moving forward, to support a cause, make a difference, exercise your voice, stay intellectually alive. And there’s always: I think, therefore I am.

Many positions advertised today require social media and blog skills, including much-desired positions in “green” companies and non-profits. Employers are finding employees through the Internet. A blog will give you visibility on the internet and, thus, in the job market. 

A recent scan of 1,000 jobs listed on craigslist in the San Francisco Bay Area indicated:

• 199 companies have social media as a requirement;
• 405 companies refer to Web 2.0 and a component of the job;
• 105 include the word “blog;”
• 44 include “blogging.”

Understanding social networking (including blogging) has landed me interviews resulting in part-time and consultative job offers. Little else in my substantial background is opening doors. The Internet IS the way the world is doing business.

WHAT TO WRITE ON YOUR BLOG?

Anyone researching today’s job market, thinking about career changes, reading about “green” companies or nonprofits is coming across new information daily . . . information that might help others or that is just worth storing somewhere in case you need to review it at another time.

As you come across valuable information, type it into your new blog. You will start sounding knowledgeable and this could lead to a job offer.

Or perhaps you have a cause you support; talk about that on your blog. You’ll be learning and helping at the same time.

Information herein is a quick overview. You might find it worthwhile to read just one book on Social Networking or Blogs.

This information may look like a lot, you probably will get frustrated, but just go step-by-step. It may take a couple of hours to set up, but it is worth it and it is fascinating once you get the mechanics out of the way.
