Web Directories - You'll Get Nowhere Without Them

More Traffic From Web Directories

The chances are that you are a blogger reading this and if that is the case you will know about and have probably used web directories. You will also know how important they are in terms of getting your own blog out to a waiting public looking for just the type of information and writing you produce. Well this being the case there is another web directory that you may well want to consider to add to your marketing armour to move up in the search rankings, increase Google and Alexa PR ranking and of course back links that are the life and soul of being seen and bring in more traffic.

The beauty is that most web directories are free. Just a couple of minutes going through the signing up and entering your blog into a web directory gives you a lifetime of public view if accepted. By the way it is good that there is a vetting on web directories taking on just decent blogs, this give more credibility to the blog community that sits there of course.

Where you have a blog that is personal, for business or even and AdSense based bog for earning, submission to web directories is an essential part of successful blogging. I can’t say I know any blog that doesn’t use them. If you haven’t already submitted to directories now is the best time to start. Put your efforts in this direction and the results will be put in the pipeline. Set yourself a target of one directory a day and after 3 months you will have a much bigger following on the web on a passive basis!

The most important directories to start off with are Google of course, DMOZ, Yahoo and BOTW (for businesses.) Just spend 15 minutes submitting to these and you are on your way.

Don’t forget that you heard it here on Doshforu.com first and of course!

Carrots Or Gold - Potentially, Which Is The Best Investment?

Potentially, what is worth more, $10 worth of carrots or $10 worth of gold? It is a question that will almost certain draw most people into answering gold. Why is this? Gold has a history of being sought after and owning it gives a prestige. Gold is everything to many people hence the answers geared toward this.

How many of you answered carrots? If you did, what are your reasons? I initially thought that carrots are worth more, especially to a hungry person. They are a food full goodness and primed with healthy vitamin A. Then the thought of once they had been eaten that is the end of it.

Potentially you could sell the carrots one at a time walking the streets and make a profit and buy more carrots and do the same, this is the start of a carrot selling business that has potential. Buying a carrot for a few cents for a healthy snack certainly has a good feel about it.

Gold on the other hand is not use to anyone other than its value. I suppose you could wear it as jewellery, but that will not make you money. With just having $10 of gold it won’t make any difference in the value of a year or so, so you are at a dead end here. So although gold is worth more than carrots to the majority of people who the question is put to it is not the case as far as earning potential goes. And the reason for choosing the carrot for some is I guess more reasoned towards being ‘green’ rather than a business choice.

A carrot-snack selling business! Now there’s a good idea!

Lost Your Job? - Start An Income Safety Net By Writing

Lost your job? Can’t find another, do something useful with your time. Article writing is a way where you can eventually not have to rely on working for someone. It is of course elf-employed and a new set of rules will have to be learnt on hoe to run your own business. Even if you are in work it is a good idea to run a safety net income just in case this unfortunate situation of unemployment hits you.

The perfect way to start is actually while you are still in gainful employment this way you can build up your article writing business on the side, but this does not detract from doing it from scratch if you find yourself out of work. It is a vocation that you will have to learn as you go along. Writing for a living doesn’t happen overnight even though you can still quickly earn reasonable money if you have a flair for this skill. There are many tutorials that you can refer to online that are free to help you to improve your writing skills and gain more contracts from sponsors.

Writing for a living isn’t for everyone of course, but most people can learn the ropes if they have a little sense and organisation skills. There is enough material in the WWW world to draw upon and write about to infinity so that is not an issue. The big one is whether you have the dedication and staying power to get to the bigger money assignments. This is where the many people do actually make a living.

Even if you are not a natural writer, with a little work you can still earn enough to supplement your income or unemployment benefit. (You will have to check how much you can earn without affecting your benefit of course.)
