Mike Dillard Screwed Up My Last Blog Post…

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On January - 29 - 2010

So yesterday I posted The Difference Between Those That Succeed, and Those That Fail. In the post, I mentioned how Mike Dillard went and screwed things all up for me.

Dang you Mike Dillard!

But really it wasn’t that bad, and here’s why…

Yesterday, I had my post all planned out and almost ready to submit when I took a break.  I came back and checked my e-mail to see a new message from Mike and his new launch of  “Alpha Networker.”

So I looked at it closer (knowing where he was leading because of all the talk about “Alpha’s” in Magnetic Sponsoring) and I knew this was something I DEFINITELY wanted to let you all know about because JUST like the Magnetic Sponsoring course, this is one of those “musts” you need to have in your library.

Then I realized “wait a second,  I was just writing a blog post about mindset – now I need to add a blurb about Mike’s new video training since the two topics coincide.”   So I added it in, took a look at it, and well…it was WAY too long of a post.  Like WAAAAAAAAAY too long.

So I split the post into two, rewrote yesterdays post to *hint* about todays post, and now, here I am writing todays post as a follow-up to yesterday.

Great googily-moogily!  Thanks Mike ;)

Anyways, the basics of “Alpha Networker” goes like this:  Remember Mike talking about Beta and Alpha networkers in Magnetic Sponsoring?  Well in Alpha Networker, he goes into WAY more detail, psychology, training, and development.

See, when we’re born, we’re all  Betas, but somewhere along the way, some of us decide and learn to become alphas.

As we move through this industry, there is an inner shift that occurs.  A difference in Mindset that switches us from being a Beta and turns us into an Alpha.

As Mike says on the main page – “Unleash the Alpha within you.  Only leaders make money in network marketing…Here’s how to become one.”

So, after all of that, thanks for Screwing up yesterdays blog post Mike.  I’m off to go become an Alpha Networker now because this industry needs some more of them.

If you’re looking at becoming part of that Exclusive 3% of Successful network marketers that I discussed in yesterdays blog post, I suggest you go take a look at Mike Dillards “Alpha Networker Blog” today.

The Difference Between Those That Succeed, and Those That Fail…

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On January - 28 - 2010

I had this blog post all planned out – perfect and ready to publish – and then Mike Dillard comes by and screws thingsall up for me.

Jeez, the nerve!

Well, before I go off on Mike in tomorrow’s post (actually I LOVE how he came and screwed things up because it ads some more value to what I am about to tell you), let me explain what I was going to write about before Mike came by.

When you take a look at network marketers as a group, there are two obvious groups that appear – those that succeed and those that fail.

The sad thing is that the percentage of those that fail is HUGE compared to those that succeed.  Depending on the figures you refer to, anywhere from 95%-97% of network markers are failing in their business.

This leaves a mere 3-4% of network marketers that succeed in their businesses.

I know – a stark difference!

Further, you can take a look at any one MLM company, and see the same thing – those that fail and those that succeed.  And the percentages are roughly the same.

How can that be?  If you have the same company, the same products, the same training, the same resources, and the same leadership at your fingertips, what is the reason for the difference?

Well it comes down to a simple 1 word answer and 1 answer only…

…Mindset.  And more specifically Mindset for Success.

Mindset is the foundation that your business is built on.  You can’t go out and build a house without a foundation, so why would you want to do the same with your business?

Mindset is the power in your mind that separates those that succeed from those that fail.

Mindset is simply doing the things that others won’t do – making decisions, creating habits, and sticking to your decisions.

Mindset is creating a list of goals.  Actually writing them down on a piece of paper and posting it where it’s visible for you to read all the time – not placing them in a binder on your book shelf.

Mindset is creating a vision board with clippings of all of the visualizations you want in life – your house, your car, your backyard, your home office, your hobbies, your dream vacations, the lake house in the woods, the school you want your kids to go to, etc.

Mindset is already living in a mindset of prosperity and wealth.  Emitting those feelings of gratitude and thankfulness for what you will be achieving.

Mindset is making decisions in your life based NOT on where you are…but where you WANT to be in your life

Tomorrow, I’m going to breakdown how it is that Mike Dillard screwed this post all up for me.

But in the mean time, here is the recording of the exact Mindset for Success in 2010 webinar I did for my own team with our Personal Mastermind back at the beginning of January.  If it doesn’t show up for you, you can visit here: http://www.linusruzicka.com/mindset-for-success-in-2010

At first I kept the recording just to my Private team, but I decided it’s value is far to important to keep it under wraps. So I am making it available to you here on my blog.

Onlywire Plugin Review

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On January - 26 - 2010

O.k. – the reason for this post is two fold.  I know that some people have no idea what Onlywire.com is and how it should be used.  So, to have a much easier place to send my team and other readers to, I decided that creating a post and quick tutorial on it’s specific use would come in handy for the future.

So here’s the plan guys:

  1. First off, I’m going to break you off a little Onlywire review, but the real proof is going to be in the tutorial video above here.
  2. I have people coming to me wanting to know about the Onlywire.com plugin and asking how to set-up the Onlywire WordPress plugin, so I am going to go into that also!

Seat belts buckled?

Why?  This isn’t going to be a bumpy ride, jeez…..  ;)

O.k., so if you have absolutely NO idea what Onlywire.com is, it is an all-in-one social bookmarker that will get all of your social bookmarking done in one press of the button – literally.  It will send your content link to 31 different social bookmarking sites.   All ofthe big ones like Digg, Delicious, Mixx, Twitter, Facebook and the smaller ones as well.

Now, there are 2 ways to use it – both of which I use RELIGIOUSLY.

You can download the Onlywire Firefox plugin which will sit in the upper right hand corner of your browser next to the Google search bar.  So when you are on your blog post and want to upload it to Onlywire.com, you would just hit the Onlywire button to sign-in and then bookmark the site you are visiting.

Next is the Onlywire WordPress plug-in for your WordPress blog.  I will be talking about this in the video above as well, but basically you Search for the “Onlywire” plug-in from your Plug-in tab in the WordPress back office, and just click install once it comes up.

This will simply give you a shortcut to the Onlywire plug-in directly on your blog post not only for you, but for your readers as well.  So if they don’t have the Onlywire Firefox plugin, you just provided one for them on your blog post directly.  Easy pleasy right?

Now, if you’ve been paying attention to any of my posts in the last few weeks, you’ll remember how I have been emphasizing backlinks and how important they are to your ranking on the search engines.

Well guess what…you just got 31 different backlinks my friend.  It’s all thanks to this automated social bookmarking we now know as Onlywire.

Make sure to check out the Onlywire Firefox plugin and Onlywire WordPress plugin AFTER you watch my video at the top.

Afterwards, tell me what successes you’ve had with the Onlywire wordpress plugin or the Onlywire Firefox plugin.  I’ll be sure to comment back as well.  have you noticed that I reply to all of my blog comments?  If not, come back for a visit and check them out!  You may be suprised at what other tid-bits you get from my readers.

Blog Syndication – “thatMLMbeat” Review

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On January - 19 - 2010

If you’ve been following my last few posts, you know I’ve focused on blog marketing strategies. Commenting To Generate More Traffic, Backlinking, Research/Tracking Your Competition, etc.

Well I have a new one for you you today. And it’s one that you may not have even thought of.

It’s sort of like watching “Three’s Company” or “The Love Boat” from the 1980′s here in 2010 on “T.V. Land” or one of the 1000′s of cable channels. It’s all about syndication baby!

No, I’m not telling you to sit in front of the “automatic income reducer” aka – television. My focus here is blog syndication.

Blog syndication works like this: Your blog content is made available to one or multiple other sites. Most commonly, it refers to making your blog feeds available from your site to another in order to provide other people with your recently added and valuable content.

Why does syndication work?

It benefits both your blog,(thats providing the content), and the website that displays it. See, for the receiving site, content syndication is an effective way of adding more content to its pages, making it more attractive to users. For your blog site, syndication drives exposure across numerous online social platforms. This generates you more traffic — making syndication a free and easy way to advertise your blog, your content, and therefore – YOU!

And yes, I have a brand new site that allows you automate you blog syndication.

If you’re not aware of this site yet…let me expose you now.

thatMLMbeat.com – “Add Your Existing Blog and get More Traffic, Create a new Custom Blog in seconds or simply Get Social!

I was introduced to this site actually by it’s creator George Fourie.

He notified me that I had been nominated for one of the “Top 50 Blogs to watch out for in 2010″ (how this actually occurred yet is still beyond me – I may need to hire a private investigator).

Anyways, I’m not promoting it because of that. (well, maybe just a little).

The main reason I’m actually writing about it is because it is of course a blog syndication site.

Here’s what you do…

Go to thatMLMbeat.com and register for a free membership.

Once there, there is a training video to show you how to connect thatMLMBeat to your current blog site. The reason you want to do that is that when you submit a post on your own blog, that content will also be sent to thatMLMbeat and show up there – content, graphics, video, links, etc. – just like on your original blog post.

Your content will then go live and on the front page of thatMLMbeat content.

Now, everyone that is already a member of thatMLMbeat will see your content and can post comments to your blog or on the syndicated blog inside the site.

Now, one thing I want to point out is thatMLMbeat will only work with WordPress blogs for WordPress syndication. The reason for that is that you will have a very similar wordpress.com backoffice to work with – so blogger.com, blogspot, etc will not work with thatMLMbeat.

One of the other elements is that if you don’t have a wordpress blog, you can easily set one up with these guys and let them host it for you. So if you already have Blogger, Blogspot, etc. type blog, you can just copy and paste over your content and have your very own WordPress blog site.

Cool huh?

So go check them out, or any other of the blog syndication sites you can get your dirty little SEO hands on.

Honestly though, I have NOT tried out any of the other sites, so I am shamelessly telling you about this one.

If you guys have any other quality blog syndication sites out there, be sure to let me know about them. You can rest assured that the rest of my readers will find out about them if you leave a comment.

As Promised – More on How To Create Quality Backlinks

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On January - 13 - 2010

O.k., when I last posted on Saturday, I was talking about how to create backlinks to your blog -  how to create them, and where to put them, and how you should use them.  If you don’t remember, here is the link to my last post:  Backlinks -What Are They and How DoYou Use Them?

Then I remembered I was writing a blog post, and not a novel (some of you were kind enough to remind me of that as well in my comments).  So I stopped and promised you a second post on how to create quality backlinks and more SPECIFICALLY, a tool I like to use to post them inside of comments on other blogs.

Anyways, at the end of that last post, I was explaining Google page rank, and that you should be posting comments on blogs with a higher page rank than pages with a lower page rank.  The higher the rank, the more favorable they are in the eyes of the search engines.  And that is how you begin this goal of creating backlinks to your blog.

Remember?

Good!

Well, if you were to head out on your merry way back out into the great world wide web with an aim of trying to identify blogs with a  high page ranking, it would LITERALLY take you forever.  And that’s just the identifying part.

As you get to know me, I like to use tools to make my job easier.  So that is what I’ve done here.  I found myself, and now you, a cool online tool to get this job done A LOT faster.

If you haven’t heard of it before, it is called Comment Hut.

To see what Comment Hut is and what it will do for you, click the link above.

Just so you know, Comment Hut is NOT blog spamming software.  It WILL NOT leave comments or backlinks for you automatically.

BUT, Comment Hut DOES search for the blogs you want to leave comments on.  It is done by keyword and then it spits back out at you the Google page rank of that blog.

You also get to set which Google page rank you want to do a search in, say, 4-7.  All you have to do is go read the post (because you want to do that so that you sound like you know what you’re talking about in the comments), and then simply include your backlink HTML code in the comment.

Talk about a huge time saver!

It’s a great piece of software that is FREE!   SO not only will it save you time and generate some more traffic to find your blog on the search engines faster, but you pay NOTHING for it.

Of course, the guys that created Comment Hut (Paul Forcey & Stewart Alexander) created only the “Lite” version for free.

You can get access to all of the WordPress.com blogs on the free version.

If you want more options,  you can upgrade (I think it’s a one time payment of $97) and get blogs from just about every other blogging source you want to lay your hands on.  But believe me, the WordPress.com blogs will keep you busy for quite some time.

So there it is, my special tool to help you to create backlinks to your blog.  The question now is, how many of you are going to go and create quality backlinks to your blog?

In fact, I’m inviting you to come back and give me your results.  Tell me how you did with your comments and how you were able to improve your blog ranking.   The one with the most impressive results, I will dedicate an entire blog post just to them and their results!

Creating BackLinks – What Are Backlinks and How Do You Get Them?

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On January - 9 - 2010

Thou Shalt Backlink To The Ends of The Earth”

When I first started blogging and creating content (keep it noted, I have not begun MASS blogging/article creation yet) I kept seeing this term “BACKLINK” popping up.

I heard it in webinars on SEO.

I kept seeing it in text.

I had other people preaching “Backlinks” left and right – “You need backlinks for your content”

It all seemed so vague and ambiguous. I had NO CLUE to what a backlink actually was, or how they worked, or what you should do with them.

I was generating enough traffic that in a month period of time to take my blog from an Alexa ranking of #1,081,000 to #394,208 at the time of this post, but I know that to REALLY be “seen”, I needed to step up my game and look at some strategies that I hadn’t been using yet.

So I decided one afternoon that I better investigate more of these backlinks, that frankly I had just blown off all this time. I needed to know what is a backlink, why backlinks are needed, how to create backlinks, and how to get backlinks for you.

So I set off on another wild adventure on the world wide web looking for backlinks (really, it wasn’t that exciting and it didn’t take that long – I didn’t even need to have my wife pack me a lunch).

Want to know what I found?

O.K., you twisted my arm.

When you look at the concept of generating traffic to your site, obviously you want your site to do well in the eyes of the “Almighty Google” and have a great Google ranking.

Well, how do you create a great Google ranking?

You can look at some of my other posts here for some ideas Blog Marketing Strategy – How To
Track Your Competition
and this one: Blog Marketing Strategy – Generate More Traffic with a Comment Parade!

But, the point of this post is to Create Backlinks to your blog.

Simply put, backlinks are  links to your website from another website.  Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. love these.  When their web-crawlers see the link on someone else’s site, the crawler goes over to your site, and then indexes your site which  places it on a search engine organically instead of you going over and entering it.  This activity is preferred by the search engines.

Pretty sweet huh?

But wait, it gets better…

…here is how you actually create the backlink to use on another site:

First,  you need to actually create the main link itself.  Don’t worry, it only takes a few steps:

1. If you want your link to send people to your home page, or to a specific article or blog post, make sure you have the specific URL for that.  Look at this for example:  http://www.LinusRuzicka.com which is the main page of my blog or this: http://www.linusruzicka.com/blog-marketing-strategy-generate-more-traffic-with-a-comment-parade which is a specific post.

2. Now you need a little HTML magic. You can open up a free HTML editor (I use NVu) and create a hyperlink.  But the basic idea is that you will need to use this HTML code to make a link:

<a href=”http://www.yoursite.com” target=”_blank”>Put Your Keywords Here</a>

3. You will need a keyword for your link.  Don’t use keywords from the title of your blog, because the search engines will already see it in your URL.  Choose something else that is relevant to where you are sending people.  For example, using the above post I might use the key word “Learn To Generate More Blog Comments”.

Using the example from my blog I’ll show you what it looks like, in code and then the way it appears in code as if I were placing it in someone else’s blog comment box.

<a href=”http://www.linusruzicka.com/blog-marketing-strategy-generate-more-traffic-with-a-comment-parade” target=”_blank”>Learn To Generate More Blog Comments</a>

Here’s what it will look like in their comment box: Learn To Generate More Blog Comments

SO, now all that you need to do is go and leave your backlinks around the web.  I plan on creating a blog post on this topic in the future, but in the interest of time, you could use any of these:

  • Blogs (WordPress.com & WordPress.org, Blogger, Drupal, etc.)
  • Social Media (Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc)
  • Articles that allow comments
  • Video sites (Youtube, Viddler, Daily Motion, etc.)
  • Wiki sites
  • Hub pages or Squidoo pages

My favorite place to leave backlinks is on other blogs.  Blogs are great, but one thing to think about before leaving a backlink is the page rank of that blog.  The general rule of thumb (what is a rule of thumb anyways?)  is  you want to be back linking from a blog with a higher page rank than others.  It is typically recommended 4 – 5, or higher.

You’re probably asking what the *#%$ is a Page Rank and how do I find it?

Google came up some insane formula to determine their ranking of ANY website and they can rank it from 1-10.  Basically it is how important that website is in relation to its content and its importance on the web.

Looking for blogs and figuring out their page rank could take you forever – oh AND a day.

I stumbled on some great piece of software to use to help get this job done fast.  But I will save that for my next post.

The main point I wanted to get across here is creating backlinks and their importance.  I think that I have done that for you here.  If I haven’t, let me know.

If you have any brighter ideas, leave a comment post as I actually RESPOND to each post.  Crazy I know!  Imagine that, interacting with my readers.  Who would have fathomed?

Keep an eye out for my next post in the coming days on the cool tool I use for looking for those elusive Google rankings.  The easiest route would to be actually subscribing to my blog over here on the right of the screen and get the blog posts live as I make them.
