Tips For The Week Beginning February, 8th
This week I am going to talk about a way of getting free exposure for your web site.
One way is Reciprocal Linking: That is when you exchange links with other web sites. The
link can be in the form of a text link or a banner exchange.
Money-At-Home.Com currently employs the text link exchange version. Check out my program.
Exchanging links with other web sites can be a great way of getting extra traffic for your web site. Many people surfing the Internet link on to other web sites from the site they were just on. When your link is on other web sites, the chance of someone being interested enough in your link subject and clicking on to your site increases.
To start a reciprocal link program, first you must set up a link on your home page that could say something like: "Click Here To Exchange Links" or "Exchange Links With Us". Your link should than lead to a page that explains how folks can sign up and join your reciprocal links program. Make up a name for your program, something like: "Join Our Friends List". Than you set up a separate page where your reciprocal links will be listed. Your title on your page may say something like: "Our Friends". Make sure to put a link to your reciprocal links page on your home page.
Make it a point to join reciprocal link programs that carry a link to their reciprocal
links page from their home page. Otherwise, it may be hard for surfers to find your link.
Go to the sites that have reciprocal link programs and see how easy it is to get to their
reciprocal links page. If it takes more than 3 clicks, it may not be worth exchanging
links with them, except of course if the company is comparable to Dell or Microsoft!!
Remember, the more links you have on other web sites the higher your traffic.
Linking=Traffic!!
To find web sites to exchange links with:
1.Put an "Exchange Links With Us" link on your home page!
2.Be on the look out for web sites that are offering Reciprocal Links Programs on their
site as you surf the Internet.
3.If you find a site that you think compliments yours, request to exchange links with the
site's administrator or webmaster. Find their contact information, than drop them an
e-mail.
Be sure to check out my reciprocal links page at:
http://www.money-at-home.com/exchange.htm, go to some of the web sites their and
request to exchange links with the owners.
You may exchange links with web sites relating to your site, or even sites unrelated,
because as I see it, you never know who may want to surf on to your site for more
information.
Starting your own reciprocal links program is easy, and it is a terrific way for surfers
to find out about your web site. And most of all, it is free.
Working at home can be more challenging than most people think. Take it from me, I work
at home, and boy is it challenging.
All the temptations at home: snacking while you work, the T.V., radio, friends calling,
plus more. All that independence and temptation can make it easy for some people to lose
productivity. People like me!
But reality sinks in and you realize you are in business and you need to get down
to business.
Here are some ways to stay focused during your day of working at home:
1. Organize your tasks on a Daily To-Do List Organizer.
2. Do each daily task on the list for that day. (Taking into account that some tasks may
not be completely finished: Like a phone call you need to make where so-in-so is out of
the office all day, you will have to put that call off until tomorrow of course.)
3. Make it a habit to do all your most dreaded tasks first. Like if you need to write a
sales letter, and you hate writing sales letters, write it anyway, otherwise you may not
get it done on time, or you may never do it at all!
4. Vision in your mind the benefits you will attain getting all your home business goals
and tasks done for the day. Like: increased sales, more customers, a nice summer vacation!
5. After you are done with your basic daily business tasks, than you can treat yourself to
say maybe some chocolate ice cream, cake, hum, let's see, I'll go for chocolate candy, a
bag of chips, pizza.....
Now, if I can only follow my own advice!!
