This isn’t arrogance… it’s just FACT.  This single blog post could drastically improve the success rate of the entire industry.  It could turn current and past failures into superstars in record time.  If you pay attention… it almost certainly WILL change what you are promoting online.

If you take this next sentence to heart and take the right action… your business WILL change for the better.  I promise you that…

“Your business is YOU and the VALUE that you provide.”

It is NOT the company you joined, or the opportunity that you are a part of, or the products that you are promoting.  Your business online is YOU and the VALUE that you can provide to people!

In fact… NOBODY is going to join a company, opportunity, etc. with you just because they like the company.  If you are making the company your priority in your promotions, you are only doing the company any favors.  People will only decide to partner with you when they see VALUE in YOU and what you offer them.

The high lack of success rate in this industry (reportedly as high as 98-99%) is in large part due to the fact that most people in this industry think it’s all about joining the right company and then promoting that company.  Those that ARE successful, know that success is directly proportional to the amount of VALUE that YOU are providing people.   

Ok… so now you know that YOU are your business, it’s time to learn how to plaster YOU all over the internet and look like an expert in the next 14 days or less.  By following the instructions in this post… you will OWN the search engines for your name.  When people come searching for you, they will see an expert who provides tremendous value.

And what do you think this means for you?  I’ll tell you… more leads, more signups, more sales, and more SUCCESS!

Here is your 14 day action plan to plaster yourself all over the internet and own the search engines for your name.  You will need only 5 things:

1. A blog
2. A Facebook FAN account
3. A Twitter account
4. A Youtube account
5. A little elbow grease

Step 1:  Get a Blog Set Up ASAP!

If you don’t have a blog yet, you absolutely need one.  Your blog will serve as YOU central.  It will be your main source of providing FREE value to people.  Here are the steps to getting your blog set up…

1. Register the domain www.YOURNAME.com – You want it to be your name for a couple of reasons.  First, it’s great branding.  Second, and very important, is that the search engines will love it and rank it higher.  Remember, the entire purpose here is to dominate the search engines for your name.  The more you make the search engines love you, the easier that will be.  You can register a domain name at www.godaddy.com
2. Get hosting - You absolutely want to host your blog on your own servers.  You can get hosting for less than $8 a month at Hostgator.  The cool thing about Hostgator is that you can install a blog on your server in just one step that’s as easy as clicking your mouse.
3. Install Blog – After you have your domain name and your hosting, log into www.YOURNAME.com/cpanel.  When you log in, scroll down to the “software/services” tab and click on the Fantastico option:

    

4. On the left navigation menu, you will see “Wordpress.”  Simply click that and follow the simple instructions to install your blog.  It is push button easy.

Ok… so now that you have a blog installed, you need to add VALUEABLE content to it.  Because this is a new blog… you want to add content to it for a minimum of 7-10 straight days.  The more days, the better.  After the initial 10 days, you should post 2 to 3 times per week… minimum.

Where to get content.  If you are new and saying “I am new… what do I post…”  here are some of my favorite spots for FREE, valueable content.  Learn something new at these resources EVERY DAY,and then blog about what you learned.  In addition to giving you some amazing content to post on your blog, learning from these sites daily will contribute to your success and help you to become a real expert in the industry.

Favorite spots for awesome content:

www.betternetworker.com (my all time favorite)

www.warriorforum.com

www.ezinearticles.com

Important note:  Do not copy and paste from these sites.  LEARN something new every day, put it into your own words and post it on your blog.  Remember to post VALUEABLE content that will help others to be successful.  Try and over deliver on value as much as possible.  You can link out to your company or opportunity from your posts AFTER you have provided some value.  People will be more open to clicking on them when you are coming off as somebody who is providing value and tying to help as opposed to somebody who is force feeding their opportunity.

Tips for optimizing content (posts) for the search engines:  Be sure to include your name in the post and if you can, in the title of the post.  Be natural about it.  an easy way to do this is to always sign off at the end of each post.  For example, I write things like:

Yours in Abundance,
Nick Bramble

Final Note:  You can install some really cool FREE themes to make your blog look unique.  Simply google “Free Wordpress Themes” and a ton of really cool sites will come up.  Do not spend days or hours trying to find the perfect theme.  For now, just get something that is clean and professional.  You can always change it later.  The object here is to get your name plastered all over the internet as quickly as possible.

If you want to look ultra-professional and have a killer blog design done at rock bottom prices, I recommend this blog design service.

Step 2:  Get a Facebook FAN Page

Notice I said “FAN” page.  Fan pages are cool for a few reasons.  Most importantly.. they rank in the search engines.  Plus, they have no limit to the number of fans.  Regular facebook accounts have a 5000 “friend” limit.   You don’t want to limit the number of people who can learn from and follow you.  A fan page allows you to be a little more business focused.  Your facebook fan page is NOT to be a place where you post a bunch of junk that nobody really cares about.  It’s not a place where you are joining games and other “waste of time” activities.

Your fanpage is going to be a place where you interact with your “fans” on a personal and professional level.  Allow them to get to know you while you continue to provide them with amazing value and content.  The focus of your fan page is to build relationships with people and provide value.  You want to establish yourself as a person that people WANT to follow.  Check out and become a fan of my fanpage to see what I mean.

So… here’s what to do:

1. Get a facebook fanpage here – Be sure to make your username YOUR NAME.  This will help with search engines.
2. Post Valueable content DAILY

NOTE:  Be sure to become a fan of my page to get training, mentoring, success tips and to get a free look at how to run a successful Facebook fan page.  Click here and become a fan right now.  I love to give free recognition and interact with my fans, so it’s a great chance to interact directly with someone highly successful and get some recognition that will help build your business.

Step 3:  Get a Twitter Account

Twitter is another excellent spot to continue to build your brand while providing valueable content.  Just like your fan page, your Twitter account should be used to build your brand and provide value to those who are choosing to follow you.  Remember, you want people to WANT to follow you.  If you are posting about what you had for lunch on a daily basis, or other useless stuff… who is really going to look forward to your posts?

Steps to getting Twitter account:

1. Goto www.Twitter.com
2. Register an account with the username being YOUR NAME.  This is important for the search engine recognition.  For example, mine is www.twitter.com/nickbramble.  If you have a Twitter account already that does not utilize your name, get a new one.
3. Post VALUEABLE content on a daily basis (especially in the first 14 days) that makes people look forward to hearing from you.

Step 4:  Get a Youtube Account

If you aren’t doing videos yet on a regular basis… what the heck are you thinking!  If you are afraid, or uncomfortable for some reason about getting into the video world, here’s 3 words for you… GET OVER IT!

Video is an absolute MUST in today’s age.  There is NO better, more personal way to interact with lots and lots of people at a single time.  Video allows you to ”connect” with people in a way that text, and audio just don’t allow.  You can look into the camera and when somebody is watching the video from the other end, it’s like you are talking to them directly.  It’s very powerful.  Plus… the search engines still LOVE Youtube!  So, it’s a great way to rank not only for your own name, but as you get more into video marketing, you can use it to help you rank for any term that you want to.

Bottom line… if you want to be successful in this industry, video is a MUST.

Steps for getting a Youtube account and using it to get your name all over the search engines:

1. Get a youtube account here
2. Make sure that your username includes YOUR NAME.  for example, my youtube account is www.youtube.com/nickbramblevideo
3. Post content driven videos as often as possible.  Especially in this first 14 days while you are trying to get as much content into the search engines as possible.

Here’s a tip for you for content.  Use the content you are already posting and “read” it into your camera to make a video.  This way, you can get two uses out of a single source of content.

Some tips to optimize your videos correctly:

• When you upload a video, it will give you an option to put a title, description, and keywords.  During this first 14 days when you are trying to get your name all over the search engines, make sure that the title includes YOUR NAME.  In the description, make sure that the first thing you type is your blog address (making sure to include the http://)  For example, if I made a video and wanted to link to my blog in the description, the first thing I would type is:  http://www.nickbramble.com.  I would then include my name in the description as well.  Finally, for keywords, be sure to use your name.

Ok… so now we have FOUR different resources that google loves and that if you are posting daily will start to rank in the search engines really quickly.  You can now own nearly half of the first page of google.  So when somebody types your name into the search engines, you are already DOMINATING the results!  But, I am going to show you how to take it to the next level and have content showing across MULTIPLE pages.

Step 5:  A Little Extra Elbow Grease

If you take this next step, along with posting daily at the resources above, you can dominate multiple pages in the search engines and look like a total expert.  This next step you should be doing IN ADDITION to the above.

Post an article a day EVERY DAY for 14 days at www.ezinearticles.com

The search engines, google especially,  LOVES this article site.  The articles that you write there can show up within 24 hours in the search engines.  So, if you write a content driven, value based article every day for 14 days and submit it to EzineArticles, you will have multiple pieces of content flying all over the internet.  If you are providing valueable content, you are looking like an expert that people will want to know more about.  An expert that people will trust when looking to start and join a business online.

Steps to posting articles and dominating the search engines for you name:

1. Get an account at www.ezinearticles.com
2. It allows you to set up a profile with multiple links.  Be sure to write a little blurb about yourself and include all of the links from above in the links section (your blog, facebook, twitter, and youtube)
3. Write an valueable, content driven article EVERY DAY for 14 days.  (See content links above for places to learn new info and skills to write about.)
4. To best optimize for your name, include your name in the title AND body of the article.  The title is most important.  Make sure that each article has your name in the title.
5. Each article you post will include an author box.  Include info about you, your name, and your lnks in the author box.  You can include multiple links in the author box, or… vary the links you put there.  For example, in one article include your blog link, in another, your facebook link, etc.

HOT TIP:  Link to the post pages of your blog as well as the main blog page.  This will get MULTIPLE pages of your blog indexed and showing up in the search engines.

If you do this final step, you will not only have content across multiple pages in the search engines, but when people search for you, they will see that you are an expert in the industry.  An expert that is worth learning from, following, and eventually partnering with (joining whatever company you are a part of, buying your products, etc.).

Ok… so you now have a 14 day action plan to totally dominate the search engines for your name.  This is a super simple action plan that ANYONE can do and that can, and should, be started TODAY.

If you are not promoting YOU online, you are setting yourself up for failure.  I am not joking when I say that this blog post can change this industry.   Too many people are failing because they join a company and do nothing but talk about how great the company is, how great the products are, how unique the compensation plan is etc.  Guess what… there are literally thousands of companies out there all offering basically the same thing.

What will really set you apart is becoming a person that offers extraordinary VALUE.  Remember this… whenever a person gets started in an online business.. they are joining the PERSON, not the business.  Knowing that, it makes no sense to be company focused… right?

I’ll end this post with this…

“The Amount of Success That You Create in This Industry is Directly Proportional to the Amount of VALUE That YOU Are Providing.” 

Yours in Success,
Nick Bramble
