RSS STANDS FOR REALLY SIMPLE SYNDICATION
You have probably noticed the above icon on websites, and on peoples blogs. RSS is a feed, a URL; Simply put, a website address that provides a list of updated content to a website. You can add a RSS feed to your favorites menu on your computer, or subscribe to a RSS Feed by clicking on the RSS image on the sites of your choice.
A RSS Reader keeps track of all of the feeds you subscribe to and displays them for easy viewing on a single webpage. I use Google Reader to keep track of updated content to my favorite websites. This is handy for staying update to news of your choice. Want to know when concerts are going to be availible in your area? Then subscribe to the RSS Feeds of venues, ticket agencies, and the entertainers you want to see. Everytime these sites update with new information it will show up on your RSS Reader page.
With so much information being thrown at us on the internet, it is easy to become overwhelmed, or at least disctracted from the task at hand. It is the information age, and we need the skills to deal with the massive amounts of information we face on a daily basis. Everything we do takes up our time. This time is valuable. You will want to make the most of the time you have and put it maximum use.
Being organized will save you from searching around looking for paperwork, or trying to find a username or password you have forgotten. File folders, and lists can help you with this.
Because it is so easy to become distracted online you might find it helpful to write down what you are going to do before you even turn your computer on. Put a post it note on your screen. Then do what you have planned. I know how what can happen, you need to check a email from a client, and then finish off a graphic design you are working on. Next thing you know you have wasted a hour reading emails, and then somehow ended up a youtube watching videos. Then the day is shot, and you have accomplished nothing.
You must consciously focus, and make a effort to ignore the many distractions that you will be faced with. If you have outlined what your going to do in point form on your post it note, it will help keep you on track. For example you need to get the information on what your client wants, and then complete the project, and email it to them. Your sticky note might look like this:
-Check for clients email
-Goto stock photo site and choose appropriate graphics
-Put together graphic images in photoshop
-Email finished project to client
Thats simple. When you have many complicated tasks to complete a outline of what you must to is vital, as you can forget a step, or spend to much time on one task.
As a internet marketer I have endless work to do. I need to operate efficiently. With experience I have discover tools to make my work easier, and more effective. A typical morning for myself is action packed. I have eliminated any surfing on the internet. I don’t even read my emails, unless I am expecting a important work related one. Yup, it is all work and no play, and I still do not have enough time to get done what I need to. Then I still need to balance sitting in front of the computer working all day with having a life; Spending time with my wife, family, and the pets. Being in front of a computer all of time is not a physical activity either, so if I expect to maintain my health I need to take time out and go to the gym, a walk, or ride my bike. Here is my sticky note for the first couple hours of my day (give or take).
45 min. - Write Article with variations
15 min. - Submit articles to article directories
15 min. - Blog, and create pdf of post
20 min. - Forum marketing
15 min. - Comment on blogs
The idea is to focus your efforts and avoid distractions. Get it? Got it? Good!
A friend of me asked why people blog. My response was that blogging is a creative outlet for people who enjoy writing. Now I am sure that is true for many of us bloggers but that is not the only, or even the main reason why most people blog.
When I first discovered blogging I thought of it as a online journal. Once I began blogging I did make posts about my life, but found that blogs are to public for me to share my world, and feelings like I would in a journal. I also found journal type entries on other peoples blogs to be boring. It might of been a eventful, exciting day for them, but really everyone in the world is experiencing a similar existence.
So why blog? Well blogging is big business. Some people are able to earn six figures as professional bloggers. I can’t tell your how long it has taken these people to reach these levels of success, or even what you have to do to rake in that kind of cash, but here is a list of why they blog, and where these successful bloggers income comes from.
Why Blog?
1) To please the search engines with fresh content, and be rewarded with traffic.
2) To earn a living doing what you enjoy.
3) To showcase websites, and products.
Blogs earn money primarily from selling advertising space. These advertisments may be in the form of adsense ads, or through paid advertisers.
Affiliate marketing is the second most common way of earning money a blog. The blog may link to products that other websites are offering. The blog owner is not paid to display these links or banners, but they do receive a commission on sales through their affiliate link.
Paid reviews
There are companies that will pay you to provide a favorable review of their product. Because you are being paid you do have to include a disclaimer stating that yes, you where paid to do this review. In the
Things that make you go hmm blog you can see a example of a paid review, and learn more about how they work.

Spammers, why do they bother? I delete comments on my various blogs every day. They usually link to either online pharmacys or porn sites. Don’t they realize that their comments are not going to be approved? They don’t even try to hide the fact that it is spam by leaving a normal comment.
It doesn’t take much effort it takes to leave a worthwile comment that contributes to a post. Have some class when working on your back linking strategies. If your posts are not being approved it is probably due to one of the following reasons:
1) Using your keyword in the name field. I personally won’t delete a comment because of this but many people will.
2) Short, useless comment. Hey I am easy going, and I don’t delete these ones either, but you should make a effort. Ask a question, offer a tip, a “nice post: comment doesn’t make the grade.
3) Multiple comments using different user names. Ummm we can see what ip address your using. This trick does not work.
4) Linking to a questionable site. Yup, if you do this your comment is going to be reported as spam.
Spammers get a life. Make the effort to build your online business through legitimate methods; It pays off in the long run.
