Using Google Alerts as a Sales Propecting Tool Don't turn your blog into a pure sales pitch. A Blog is an online journal. A Blog is best known and accepted as a source of information - a FREE information.As some of you know, I'm the highly introverted (INFP) who is also a Sales and Marketing director for a company that sells both nationally and internationally.So, this tells us that I really, really, really dislike sales prospecting -- at least in the stereotypical 'pick up the phone and cold call' 'sales hunter' way. I'm always looking for ways to find prospects in unorthodox ways.One of these is spelled out in my article Cold Calling for Introverts (http://halwarfield.com/articles/cold-calling-for-introverts/) where I detail a means of using the phone that won't cause an introvert to want to lie down and die.I found another one yesterday -- it's called Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) and, as with most Google tools, it's simple to understand and use.In a nutshell ("look, I'm in a nutshell!"), you add some relevant search terms, tell it how often you'd want to be alerted and enter your email address. Poof! A Google-formatted email appears in your inbox full of relevant goodness!Now, you may be saying, "Thank God Almighty! I see the light!" and others may be saying "So?".Let's give so If you're just promoting the hack out of your latest affiliate/MLM programs and such, you won't get much sympathy, if at all. As I already mentioned, I learned this lesson the hard way. Be open and share information with the visitors of your blog, just as I am sharing this information with you. More and more you show to other bloggers that you just want to share your thoughts and comments with others, more and more of them will accept you as a source and perhaps even link to you. If just one, I mean just one blogger links to your blog, do you realize what you've done? You have just gained access to a major highway. Other bloggers are linked to that one blogger, who are linked to other bloggers, who are linked to other bloggers, and other bloggers, and other bloggers, and even more bloggers, and ... You get the picture. You'll get bloggers visiting your blog that are coming from maybe “20 blogs away” who somehow worked their way through the links into your blog. That means you'll be getting traffic from who knows wher The Project Manager's Job Title And Role In An Organization Let's start at the beginning. What is a 'Blog' and why would you care?When a company organization is searched to find a project manager, the first results may be fruitless because no one with that job title can be found. The project manager's identity is often hidden behind some other organizational role. This is particularly true for specialized in-house project where, for example, a person with the title 'facilities manager' might act as project manager during a major reorganization of accommodation. Another example is where a personal styled 'senior engineer' is made responsible for managing a costly new product design and development project.Even where project management is accredited with the important of a full-time appointment, the situation can be made less clear by the variety of titles used to describe the job. Contract manager, scheduling and estimating manager, project coordinator, project coordination engineer, program engineer, project leader, and project manager are but a few of the titles which have been used. The trend in recent years has been encouraging, and project management is now widely recognized as a profession that deserves reasonable status and rewards with its own profession Plain and simple. A blog (short for web-log), is nothing more than an electronic journal or a diary to enter your thoughts or ideas by using web-based programs. However, a blog can be so much more than just plain opinion columns or diary entries. It can quickly become a valuable news source in which bloggers (people who blog) link to a number of other news sources and other blogging sites. Bloggers are the *construction workers* of the Internet. They literally build "Internet highways" that lead readers from one website (or one blog) to the next, offering an extensive variety of information. Journalists and publishers haunt blog sites in search of trends or emerging stories. Others just search blogs for gossip and tidbits to share with their friends. A blog can also be used to enhance your online business or even your personal site. It can be used to offer tutorials or free content you may not want to include on your regular website. In fact, a blog can be a website in and of itself! Blogs are designed to be whatever it is you want them to be, giving you complete and creative control over every aspect of it. Using a blog can be very beneficial to you whether you have an online business or you simply need some sort of *emotional expressive outlet.* And, blogs are extremely easy to create, use and profit from, even if you have never made a blog in your life! Express Yourself. Let's not talk about a profit for a minute. How would you like to express your thoughts, opinion, point of view, comments, or simply tell the world what you think of e certain topic or issue, or what you stand for? And how about, … simply sharing your thoughts with other people? People are starting to spend more and more time browsing through blogs and communicating through their blogs rather than with any other forms of online communication. And that's because a blog is something you personally own. It's your own blog. You identify with it. Even if you've never designed your own website, this IS your website. This IS your web presence. Let's say you're a teacher, or work at the office, or a mechanic, or whatever you do for a living. You can share your thoughts only with the few people that you work with or hang out with. But by having your own blog, you can tell the world. Simply, express yourself and be heard by the world. This is how you do it. How To Express Yourself With a Blog At the time of writing this article, I created a blog at http://www.blogger.com in literally 2 minutes. I called it, "Blogging For Fun." It's located here: http://blogging-for-fun.blogspot.com/ It's going to be my blog for fun (as the name implies), non business related - just having fun sharing everyday information with other bloggers. Then I went to http://pingomatic.com/, and I submitted my blog to all of the "blogging services." And now, all I'm going to do is wait until my blog gets picked up and read by other bloggers. Meantime, as I'm browsing through other blogs, I'm going to link to some of them that catch my interest. Later when I post more of my thoughts and comments, I'll check these blogs that I had previously linked to, just to see if there was new information posted by those bloggers. And I'll even give them my comments in response to their thoughts or comments. Well, that also goes for other people too. As they read my blog, they can submit their comments to me too. And that's all there's to it. A simple online communication. But, ......... you're communicating with the world. There are so many blogs today that they have their own search engine. And the engine tracks millions of bloggers worldwide that add millions of blogs each and every day. O.K. How Would You Profit With a Blog? To put it in the simplest way possible ... same as mentioned above. Share information with the world - with one slight difference. "Profit in Mind!" When you go back to my blog "Blogging For Fun," you'll find two links back to my website. Oooops! I shouldn've told you that. :-) If you have a website of your own, use your blog to simply send traffic back to your website where you have your products displayed. Post your articles in your blog, overview of your product or service, comments, announcements, your newsletter and whatever else you want to post or however you want to reroute the visitors back to your website. Or ... If you don't have a website, the blog IS your website. Use it just like your website. Post product reviews with your affiliate links, banners, Google AdSense and everything else that you would use your website for. But ...

Just imagine this, being able to spontaneously take that Caribbean cruise you’ve always wanted, or putting your kids through college without undo financial strain. Or possibly, you want to put into motion that plan you’ve had of owning a home of your own.Most times, it’s hard enough making ends meet with the nine to five daily grind, let alone living happily ever after on the income your day job generates. Most regular employment can’t afford spur of the moment vacations, lofty castles in the sky, or maintaining a home of your very own.This is where it’s important for you to seize control of your finances. Implement a stream of money that your regular budget hasn’t already consumed. Creating residual income in alternative ways is a great way to start this.Residual income is revenue generated from somewhere other than your primary source of income. Creating residual income is great because it is passive and is gained after the effort to generate the income has already occurred (ie purchasing real estate for rental properties).

A Blog is best known and accepted as a source of information - a FREE information.GeneralSome directories are very general in scope and list websites across a wide range of categories, regions and languages. But there is a wide range, and many focus on restricted regions and single languages. Some are restricted to specialist fields.Examples of well known, general, web directories are Yahoo! Directory and the Open Directory Project (DMOZ). DMOZ is significant due to its extensive categorization and large number of listings and its free availability for use by other directories and search engines (many sites violate its terms of use by using its content without acknowledgement).A debate over the quality of directories and databases continues, as search engines use ODP's content without real integration, and some experiment using clustering. There have been many attempts to make directory development easier, whether using a "links for all" type link submission site using a script, or any number of available PHP portals and programs. Recently, social software techniques have spawned new efforts of categorization, with Amazon.com adding tagging to their product pages.Directories have various types If you're just promoting the hack out of your latest affiliate/MLM programs and such, you won't get much sympathy, if at all.

That means you'll be getting traffic from who knows where and from who knows who. And how do you make that traffic a highly targeted traffic? Be very specific about your subject, and post comments, reviews, articles and such - only on that subject. Link to other bloggers who are following the same subject. They will link to you too and that's how the story goes. Let me give you a few profit blogging tips Tip 1: Don't worry that you might be sending some traffic away to other blogs. You will want the same treatment in return. Your chances for other bloggers to link to you are bigger when you're providing other resources. Your blog is not a dead-end street. Tip 2: Spread your overview in many blogs. Shortly cover only one feature of your product in each blog. Tell them what you're going to talk about in your next blog. Of course, put a link on some keywords back to your website. Or, at the end of each overview, put your URL and say something like: "If you don't want to wait until my next blog, you can get complete information at my site" - or somewhere along those lines. Tip 3: Tip 4: Tip 5: When you open your favorite magazine or a news paper, what do you read and where do you spend most of your time? The section with the content and all the stories, or the advertisements? Why do you keep on buying that same news paper or a magazine? Because of the information presented in there or because of the advertisements? You get it? Your blog is your "news paper" or your "online journal" that other people will want to visit over and over. They will want to come back and link to your blog because of the FREE information you're providing and not because of your advertisements. Of course, while your visitors are reading your blog, think of ways how to sell them something or make them click on the link back to your sales page.
