Business in China #1 - Relaxing The Grip of Bureaucracy
Picture Beijing in the early 1990’s – a strong visual presence of communism in the typical courtyard-style housing (12 families housed in a block built around a central yard), grey Mao suits everywhere, almost no neon advertising signs and only occasional cars and mini-vans on the streets. In those days there were two currencies: Yuan and FEC(Foreign Exchange Currency) available only to foreigners, with a lower exchange rate than Yuan (1$=8.9yuan, 1$=7.4FEC). Strong government control, exacerbated by the recent happenings on Tiananmen Square, meant that getting to know Chinese people was almost impossib

Search Engines

For a start, it takes months to rank well at the major search engines for competitive keywords. Google, Yahoo and MSN are currently the ‘big three’. You may rank well for MSN in a matter of three months but it may take up to a year to rank well for Google and Yahoo. You may not receive traffic from the major search engines for quite a while.

There was a time where webmasters could employ html tricks, meta tag spamming, special doorway pages to rank high at the search engines. The scenario has changed. The major search engines have tightened their algorithms to prevent exploitation and their Search Engine Result Page (SERP) from being spammed by webmasters.

So, beware of any SEO company that promises high ranking in a matter of days or weeks. There is a difference between having your web pages indexed and ranking well. Your web pages may be indexed within 24 hours but it may months before they rank well for your keywords. Ranking well at the major search engines can turn out to a long, drawn process without guidance.

Listening Is The Key To Selling
How well do you listen?Nobody thinks that they are bad listeners. In fact, most people think that they are great listeners. But most people would be wrong, because in most cases, people tend to over-rate themselves on their listening abilities.We have six senses (that right, six) and if you aren’t using three of them to listen with, then you aren’t really trying.“Listen first with your eyes, then with your ears.” If you have wandering eyes, you aren’t really listening. Many people (I included) have the habit of looking beyond the speaker. Have you ever found yourself engaged in

Content Distribution and Ezine Advertising

For a budget conscious online business the best ways of web promotion are distributing content and ezine advertising. Write articles that are specific to your business and distribute them through article directories.

No sales pitch and affiliate links at this stage please. Just include what is called a ‘resource box’ with your website address, email link and a short description (3 to 5 lines) about yourself and your business.

Article directories readily make available your articles for others to use in their ezines. This becomes free publicity for your business.

Better still if your articles address the situations of your readers and provide solutions to their problems. This will established you as a credible source of information. In turn, you will have people who are predisposed to do business with you coming to your website via your articles’ resource box link.

Ezine advertising is another cost effective way of promoting a newly start up low budget online business. It puts your ads into contact with targeted, potential customers for your product or service. Conversion rates tend to be higher, because the people who clicked on the ad link are interested in what you have to offer.

Do the necessary - search engines and directories submission, gather inbound links, but spend the greater part of your time to researching, writing quality content, and developing a quality ezine to promote your site. Without systematic planning and clear directions, you will go in circles and ultimately give up altogether.

Making good money on the Internet may not be easy nowadays, but not impossible.

One of the biggest problems for many salespeople is not understanding that selling is a process not a staticevent. Effective selling is not just closing the sale, better prospecting or more effective sales presentations. Although, all of these are important in their own way, effective selling today is blending each of these together in such a way that the prospect trusts, believes, respects you and your organization and wants and or needs your product or service to help them improve the quality of their life or business enterprise.
