Homebased business - Generation Gap

Feb 18, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: Business

I’m hearing a lot about the generation gap in business; that young people are not working well with their elders, and there may very well be a lot of truth in this. Following World War II, the “Greatest Generation” took over and dominated business like never before. The 50’s and 60’s were the go-go years that propelled the American economy. During the 1960s’ the “Baby Boomers” started to rebel and attacked the taboos of the day. Nonetheless, they eventually acclimated into the corporate cultures and learned from their elders. But a generational split occurred during the 1980’s and 90’s, and I attribute it to two reasons:

First, when the PC was introduced in the 1980’s a new generation of younger workers were introduced to program and maintain them, A split then occurred in the Information Technology field whereby the “old guys” took care of the mainframes and the “young guys” stood in the opposing camp. Both thought they were right and wouldn’t cooperate, hence the split. Ironically, both groups were right as we needed both technologies. But management didn’t see this and allowed the division to grow and fester. This carried over into other parts of the work force where new attitudes challenged older and more established ones. In other words, technology played a significant role in the split.

Second, during the cost-cutting and downsizing years of the 1980’s and 1990’s companies abandoned the mentoring system, whereby older employees worked with younger people to teach them the business. Without such mentoring, the younger generation pushed the envelope over how business was conducted. Hence, the rise of individualism and changes in the workplace such as dress and social attitudes.

Interestingly, mentoring is starting to experience a resurgence as companies find it to be an effective approach for developing employees and promoting teamwork. Mentoring is a good approach for helping the younger people make the transition into the corporate culture and ultimately take over the business. It’s natural and should be encouraged. Actually, we have had progressive classes of workers for literally thousands of years, e.g.; apprentices, intermediaries, and master craftsmen.

The one good thing resulting from the latest talk of generation gaps in business is that it is forcing companies to rethink social attitudes in the workplace. Such discussion is inevitable as companies have to learn to work as a team as opposed to a group of individuals.

Search engine market share - Topic 3 Keyword Research

Feb 2, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: seo

Well let’s discuss the videos for Topic 3 of the upcoming SEO CodeBreaker. If people want to get search engine traffic and excellent SEO rankings then this section is the way to truly start it off. Topic 3 is, in my opinion, one of the most important facets of this program. Why? Because Keywords make or break a website. Google and every search engine uses them to generate website traffic by indexing relevant information based on the keyword used on said engine. Thus this part is essential. If you did your Market Research then you will know that this part is tightly knit to it. They go hand in hand because you will need to do first your Market Research immediately followed by Keyword Research and even use the first to leverage the second.

1. Keyword research. The importance of keyword text matching and how it can determine what your page is about.

- This is an explanation of how search engines use keywords to look up relevant information. If you put car insurance in Google the pages displayed will be about car insurance. This is fundamental to understand in order to use long tail keywords. It is also imperative to get a feel of how ones competitors uses the keywords in the market you have previously researched.

2. Keyword research tools. Using the right tool to build your keyword list is critical.

- This section is very useful. Most people would recommend using a keyword tool to build the keyword list. Charles approach is similar but with a different ideology behind it. He includes all of the best keyword tool options out there both paid and free ones.

3. The short and long tail of keywords. Understanding how you can leverage your keyword list to find high ROI keywords with the long tail.

- Another important part. If you intend to generate free website traffic then you need to understand the subtle difference between short tail and long tail keywords. Long tail keywords are much more profitable in the long run and Charles points out all the reasons why. So if you want those SEO ratings in earnest then master building long tail as well as using short tail keywords.

4. Picking the best keywords. How to find some overlooked gems by combining keywords and using misspellings.

- This is very important. Most people get their keywords on Adwords, settle down for a general term and then loose money instead of making money as they bid higher and higher. Charles teaches how to set up your keywords and create a database. But more importantly he teaches how to use misspellings to leverage your free website traffic.

5. How to use keywords in your sales copy and how to determine the best keywords in 24 hours or less. Learn how to weave your keywords into your sales copy for maximum exposure . Plus how to determine the absolute best keywords to use in 24 hours with a simple technique.

- You want to know about this section. Its the sales letter that makes the conversions most of the time. So this is where you need your most optimal keywords from your previous research. Charles teaches how to, in a natural way, weave keywords without over spamming them and still getting the effect you need.

6. Relevant keywords to use and how to use the keyword in your domain. Understanding how to use keywords that are relevant to your web site is critical. How to include your keywords into your domain name for maximum exposure.

- Make sure you have relevant keywords for your site but moreover understand how to use the keywords with the goals of your site. For example don’t use the keyword free if you are trying to go for a sales. Learn how to weave your keywords with your domain. Adding this to the next Topic and the previous Market Research is fundamental.

Business news - Taco Stand Entrepreneurs Cook Up A Fortune

Feb 2, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: Business

Many people think starting your own business is only afforded by the well educated or that it takes a lot of money and that’s it’s so complicated only an Ive Leaguer could handle it. The most often phrase heard when discussing entrepreneurship is, “I can’t do it” or ” I don’t have any idea what to do.” or how about, “I just don’t think I’m cut out for it.” Most people are intimidated by the very idea of striking out on their own, being their own boss or taking on the responsibility of ownership. They have the false belief they aren’t smart enough or worthy to be a business owner.

For most people starting out on their own is to simply answer the question: “How can I take what I already know and do it better than anyone else?” The very first thing they should consider is to do something they truly love. Involve themselves in something they already have a passion for.

I know sometimes it is not possible to peruse your true passion because perhaps your passion is not shared by many. It that case find a niche, a need, and simply fill it to the best of your ability. There are many valuable services that do not require years of apprenticeship before qualifying to be a provider.

Get Your Brain In Gear.

What do you do to get the creative process going? First, take a sheet of paper and write down five to seven things you like to do or that you are really good at. Example: I am really good with plants, I love working with growing things, I love dogs, I really like cooking, I’m good at presenting myself before people. Just put down whatever you think of; it doesn’t have to make sense.

Now make a list of the things you don’t like and think you would be good at. Maybe you are a really good truck driver, but you don’t want to travel. Or, you like selling at the Flea Market but you don’t like retail sales. When you have finished with both lists, ask yourself: Are there three to five products or services that benefit me and my family and if there are, what are they?

Don’t be afraid to dig into your personal life, whatever your situation may be and determine what products or services make your life better, easier or happier, make you more productive or efficient, or simply give you more time. From that, what service could you be providing for others to help them enjoy life more? Sometimes it’s the simplest of things that make people happy. It doesn’t have to be complicated or hard to figure out, it just has to be functional.

Now, turn the paper over and write the same question about your working life. Look at what you do and don’t like about the work you have been doing as well as what others do and don’t like about you. Finally, ask yourself why you want to go into business for yourself in the first place. Then, when all is said and done, look for a reasoning to emerge (i.e., is there a need for a business doing one of the things you like or are good at?).

They Filled The Need With Roberto’s Tacos To Go

Let me give you an example.

I live in San Diego, California in an area containing a College. Within five blocks of my home there is any type of cuisine a person could desire. The College students and people who work in the small businesses have to go out because there are not many easily accessible places to go during lunch hour.

Several years ago, two brothers found this lunch situation very frustrating and realized the potential in starting a quick take-out service. There just weren’t many affordable choices where a person could get a fast lunch. Even though restaurants were plentiful the parking and waiting lines made lunch impossible.

They opened a taco stand near the college, where people could grab a quick lunch and get back to class or work. They gave their customers an extra amount on the tacos and friendly service to boot. They were the first to come up with the fish taco which became a big hit. Today their taco stands are found in five western states. They saw the opportunity and with very little cash, provided a product and service that was well received. While these brothers initially thought they were filling a local need, they actually struck a universal demand. Their situation was not unique to their area, it was, in fact, common to many areas.
