How to Avoid Giving Away Free Consulting
After spending 30 minutes in a coffee shop with a potential client, I realized that the sheet of paper they were writing on was almost full; full of ideas that I had just given away for free. If you consult, coach, or are in the advice-giving field, you may have had a similar experience. Here are some valuable techniques to practice that will prevent you from giving away free consulting.In most cases, arrange to meet with your potential clients for about 30 minutes, to see if you are a match; that is, can you offer a service to them and do they need it? Try to give something free to each potential client so they get a sample of your services. Giving one or two pieces of information away for free is okay, however, 30 minutes worth is not.Client Interviews (Get-To-Know Session)When meeting with a potential client, your goal is to uncover a need they may have that matches a service you provide. How can you do this? Ask open-ended questions, that is, ask questions that will evoke a conversation. For example, an open-ended question may

Link Building Software

Returnable Packaging Alert -- The Top 10 Ways To Save Money
If you have been using returnable packaging for years, or even if you are brand new to the market, then you have probably heard of the many cost-saving benefits that returnable packaging can provide. But many more cost-saving opportunities can be realized when using returnable packaging, if you follow some of these tips:1. Use thinner plastic. Regardless of what type of returnable packaging you are using (plastic corrugated, heavy gauge thermoformed trays and pallets, custom dunnage, etc.) chances are you will probably be able to save money if you ask your supplier to make the product using a thinner gauge of plastic. Just make sure your product can still be supported properly by testing actual samples in real time conditions.2. Plan ahead. Nothing will save you more money on your returnable packaging than giving your supplier ample time to complete your order. Rush orders always cost more money.3. Forecast your needs. If you can, order in advance. If you order an extra month’s supply of product, not only will it be there for you
Success in life comes through building and sustaining both personal and
professional relationships. As human beings, we strive to be at the right place
at the right time in order to make the right connection. We quickly learn that
each right connection links to another and before we know it, we are part of a

Do you wonder why your site does not receive the traffic you believe it deserves? The only people visiting your website are current customers. Where are the new customers the web designer promised you? One of the most overlooked steps in creation of a website is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We like to think that search engines will crawl our website and shazaam, like magic, we appear at the top of the results for our keywords. Unfortunately, it rarely works that way. We need to build relationships or "links" to our sites. While this can be a daunting endeavor, it can be very rewarding.
We are going to look at link building theory and practice. How do you let the world, more accurately the web, know you are open for business? Where do you begin building links? What about link building software? What are directories? Who are your top competitors? Who links to them? How do you ask for a link? Do you want reciprocal links? How many links do you need? These are the questions all website owners and link builders need to answer.
Search engines look at links as votes. The more links your website has, the more votes it has to be number 1, or the "authority" on your subject matter. Not all links are created equal. Links from more popular websites are weighted heavier then links from less popular sites. Search engines are now smart enough to know that content is related, so, links from relevant sites are more important then links from sites which are irrelevant.
The link text will help you rank better for your keywords. If possible get into the major directories. Avoid FFA's or "Free For All" link farms.
How Do You Let The World Know You Are Open For Business?
PR or public relations. The way most link builders will approach this is to create a press release that is disseminated to the right people. How do we know we reach the right people? In a recent talk with Eric Ward, the father of link building, I learned that most of the press release web services allow a person to subscribe to items that interest them. If a person runs a widget website and is interested in widgets, they will receive any press release that is related to widgets. Often, they may list the new widget information on their own website. That's an easy link. The press release itself is another link. Yes, it may cost a bit of money to draft and the service may not be free, but you have built several links with a simple press release.

Home Business Leads
If you are operating a home-based business, you probably already know that your site should be filled with useful content, be optimized for the search engines, and listed in the various online directories. You may, however, be forgetting about business leads – another important part of your online venture.The main problem in attempting to grow your business will be the lack of a solid customer base. All start-up ventures have to deal with this sort of obstacle; it is not an easy obstacle to overcome. You already know that the competition on the Internet is quite tough. In addition to this, it is probable that your potential customers just do not know where to find your business. In all likelihood, they do not even know that your venture exists.The solution, of course, is two-pronged. If you have been optimizing for the search engines and submitting your site to online directories, what you are really doing is helping your customers find you.

The Entrepreneur and a Sense of Adventure
I have been thinking recently about the correlation between the type of vacation people choose and the type of lifestyle they live.It's easier nowadays than ever before to jump on a plane and travel to any part of the world we wish. Some people are constrained in the type of vacation they can take, either because of commitments of some kind or simply the cost. However many people are now in a position where they can take any kind of vacation they choose.If we take away the limitations imposed by budget and commitments and assume people can take any kind of vacation they wish, is there a correlation between the type of vacation they take and the type of lifestyle they live? I think there is.I am not just talking about rich people going on more expensive vacations because that's too obvious and doesn't teach us anything. I am talking about the tendency for the average person to take relaxing vacations in the sun (and there's nothing wrong with that) and the tendency for entrepreneurs to take more adventurous and challenging vacation

Many of the available software packages include an automatic contact manager that allows you to contact sites with very little effort. It is generally excepted that you should not use the automatic contact features. Instead use the software to identify sites and contact them manually. Many webmasters feel the automated emails to be spam and will reject, with prejudice, any site that asks for a link using them. Software should be used in addition to other link building strategies.
The Directories
The major pay for inclusion directories include Yahoo and Business.com. These directories charge to be included in their database of websites. They are often used by major search engines to help determine rank. Don't forget the free directories such as the ODP and joeant.com. The ODP (Open Directory Project) is at http://dmoz.org. They are selective on the sites they include. Not all websites will be able to obtain a link at the ODP. joeant.com on the other hand is very easy to get into. You will have to join to enter your site into their database, it's very easy to do, and is a super easy link to obtain.
Who Are Your Top Competitors?
It is important to seek out your top competitors, the websites that are ranking on the first page of search results for your keywords. Knowing who is at the top, and who links to them is the first and foremost part of link building.
Who Links To Them?
Returning to our link building is like life analogy, imagine you operate a linen laundry. As a linen laundry owner, you wouldn't want to network with people who are involved in high technology or manufacturing. You would want to network with people who are in the hospitality or closely related industries. Restaurants, hotels or people who interact with them on a frequent basis. That is if we have a website that deals with the latest widgets and widget reviews, we wouldn't want to waste time seeking links from automobile manufacturers (unless the widgets are automobile related). We want links from other widget and widget related websites.
The easiest way to determine who is linking to your top competitors is to use the link: command in your search engine of choice. The Google link command seems to be broken, so use a search engine other then Google. For an example we will use a fictional company URLProject, with the URL of http://www.URLProject.com. URLProject is at the top of the search engines for your search term "widget reviews". Because of this, we want to see who links to URLProject. Just enter "link: www.URLProject.com" (without quotation marks) into your favorite SE, other then Google of course.
(Editor's Note: The Google link command was working when checked by SiteProNews.)
Follow this procedure for the top 5 or 6 sites
