It’s a very frustrating place to be. You can’t see where you’re going, your lost, confused and not making any headway.How do we navigate through this fog?The worst offender of Internet fog is our email box.

For those who don't know what back linking is, back linking is having other sites link to your site, and it is probably the best way to get high in the Google ranking. Back linking is part of SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, and it's considered essential, by most experts, to build your site’s reputation. In other words having other sites linking to your site is like having people shouting about your site, saying go there, because there you will find what you are looking for.Back linking seems to be considered very important by the search engines especially Google, but from my experience I can say that the others do as well. Google seems to give PR according to the amount and

These customer service tips will save you thousands of dollars and create a lasting bond with your customers. I was thinking recently about one of my worse home based business nightmares and how it turned out to be a very valuable lesson for creating excellent customer service.It started out like a great dream. We just started our toner and ink-jet business and our first business customer was a medical firm of about 20 offices. I had known the purchasing agent for sometime and before long we got the contract to supply these offices with printer products.We were so excited to get the order that we did not question when the purchasing agent placed a huge order for hundreds

No one really knows how many television stations there are in China. Best estimates put the number at 5,000. Yet, just over ten years ago there were no more than 40. The number of newspapers has increased from around 200 to more than 2,500, radio stations have blossomed from a 100 to 1,200 and TV and radio penetration is now over 85 percent.In just, 10 years, the media in has exploded. But it is still heavily regulated and owned and controlled by the state run Communist Party. Most local media is pro-China in its content and style and is used as a tool for control and influence over the country's huge population.There are also limits on foreign journalists - where they ca

The best salespeople in the world are also the best organisers. The true sales champions keep them selves organised with effective time management and an efficient filing system. Did I say filing? Yes, filing. To earn the big money in selling you have to make the most of your time and that means being organised. To keep yourself organised, productive and stress free you need an effective filing system either on your laptop or at your office or both.I personally like to keep four files to keep myself organised. You can keep more if you like, but I like to keep it simple. The first file I keep is my ‘client’ file. This is obviously the file for my prospects and I subdivide it into

3. When you receive the welcome email the competition begins. I received mine about three weeks after the acceptance email. You're encouraged to take a few days to become familiar with their guide prep site. Take the time to look over their lounge and pay attention to their tools. They have preferences for the kind of content that goes in each. Their site building interface has some bugs in it. When you publish make sure that it posted.
4. Plan your site before you enter categories and content. You are required to have 10-15 categories with a piece of original content or a link to websites in each.
5. Glossary tool - Each definition is typed in separately on a form. What you type in first is at the bottom and each additional entry is above the first. If you type in your glossary starting at "A" - the content will publish with "Z" being at the top of the list. Anything added later will be out of alphabetical order because it will publish on top. There is no way to insert items.
Compile a complete glossary before you begin and start typing from the bottom of your glossary. It will then be in alphabetical order.
6. Read the information in the lounge, the Q & A in the orientation forums and the guide prep before you start. Pay attention the the description of the content that goes in each tool. There is a lot of information in the lounge if you look for it.
7. Don't expect much help nor ask for it. You'll just be frustrated waiting for an answer. Use your judgement based on what you've read and the site description they emailed you.
8. Make sure what you publish is ready for prime time before the site is live. When you hit "publish" make sure it is ready for viewing by the public. You can't delete content later. Only support can do that.
9. Plan your schedule to reduce commitments during the competition. You'll spend quite a few hours planning the site, writing articles and finding the best links. Learning to use their tools is one of the most important functions of guide prep.
10. Make sure the content is in the correct tool. Thoroughly read through each tool before entering content because the instructions can be confusing.
Write a bio of your qualifications, education and a message to the public. Look at a few About.com guide sites to get ideas. While you're at it, read as many sites as you can to become familiar with the content.
