Announcing Plans May Kill Motivation, Productivity

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 11:56 AM PST

Does talking about plans undermine productivity? Research says yes, sometimes — that when you talk about intentions you run the risk of creating a "premature sense of completeness."

Personal Approach Not Always Best in Viral Marketing

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 06:55 AM PST

Yes, recommendations from friends are effective at creating viral campaigns. But research by Sinan Aral and Dylan Walker shows that automated messages are surprisingly effective, too.

I own a lot of different websites and I don’t really have time to focus on SEO and traffic generation, so I’ve tried all kinds of search engine submission programs. I can tell you from personal experience that Search Engine Submitter is one of the best services that I have found. With most search engine submission services, you give them your website URL and then nothing ever happens. You don’t get any more traffic to your website, you don’t see your site starting to appear in the search engine results pages, and then when you try to contact customer service you either don’t get a response of they keep telling you to give it more time. Well, the point of services like these is supposed to be to help you start generating traffic quickly and appearing in the search engine results fast. If it’s going to take these other submission services months and months to start working, it’s not worth it! With Search Engine Submitter, though, I started to see a real increase in my traffic within a couple days, and I started to see my website appearing in search engine results within the first week. And it wasn’t just the smaller search engines either – my site started to appear in big search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. And the longer I used Search Engine Submission, the more traffic I got! And the more traffic I get to my site the more sales I make, so the service paid for itself within the first week. What I really liked about Search Engine Submitter is that you only pay a one-time fee for the service instead of a recurring fee, even if you get the Platinum Plan, which gives you monthly submission services. You can continue to see increases in traffic and better search engine rankings for a long, long time, but you don’t have to keep paying for it! Search Engine Submitter has great customer service too. They only offer email support, but they’ve always responded to my questions quickly and courteously and have given me all kinds of tips that have really helped me to get the most out of my websites. It would be nice if they offered telephone support as well, but I don’t have anything to complain about as far as the quality of their customer support. Overall I would highly recommend Search Engine Submitter to anyone who wants to really increase their website traffic and get their site seen on the search engines. I’ve tried just about every search engine submission site out there, and I haven’t found one better than Search Engine Submitter for price or quality. Highly recommend! >>> http://ping.fm/HPrNP

The Secrets to Manifesting Your Dreams and Creating Real Abundance in Your Life

You yearn to move beyond a vanilla life that is working “fine” to a life that is filled with passion and greater meaning. You want to touch people and be the brightest light you can be. And you’re willing to die to an old way of being so that something new and much more soul aligned can be born. But you’re hesitant, maybe even afraid, to venture into this unknown territory. You don’t know how to move beyond your comfort zone – especially since you haven’t been taught how to navigate the terrain, and you haven’t been given a map for where you’re going. We truly understand. We were once there ourselves. A new community of amazing women was born. And now we are filled to the brim with opportunities to give our gifts and support others to do the same. We are both deeply blessed to be living into the potential of our greater than imagined. ! >>> http://ping.fm/uJGy0

You sense even greater possibilities for your life

The reality of life is inescapable: You feel and you feel deeply. It’s an integral part of being human. It’s defines who you are and touches every part of your business and your life. Your emotions are a profoundly powerful force. How you understand, harness and tap into your feelings influences, impacts and shapes everything in your world, personally and professionally. Whether you feel strung out or deeply satisfied, depressed or happy, second best or super successful, you probably know this has more to do with your internal emotional reality than any external circumstances or events. So, why is it so hard for us to fully master our internal world when we know that our feelings, thoughts and beliefs directly relate to our success in work and life? One reason... You Probably Weren’t Issued a Toolkit for Understanding and Constructively Mastering Your Inner World for Success... Over a decade and a half ago, psychologist and writer Daniel Goleman demonstrated that one’s emotional intelligence (EQ), not IQ or experience, was the leading factor in determining the success or failure of an individual in business. So, does it make any sense why - when we know how valuable EQ is for success - so few leaders, entrepreneurs and business people are taught how to be more emotionally fluent or even competent? When you learn how to unlock and manage your emotions, you become an unstoppable force in business and in life. When you learn how to recognize and understand the emotions of others, you become a magnetic and inspirational leader whose positivity can cascade into the lives of others. When you find out how to combine the right “emotional ingredients” for success, you can experience unsurpassed creativity, innovation and authenticity. It’s Time to Let Your Emotions Represent the Best in You, as Opposed to Getting the Best of You. It’s Time for Them to Work for You Rather than against You. >>> http://ping.fm/wlPXf
