RSS stands for “really simple syndication”, and as the name
suggests, it is relatively easy to take advantage of RSS to
make money.

There are many ways you can profit from RSS data feeds. To
begin with, since this is a new technology, most people are
afraid to jump in and learn how to take advantage of it.
This makes it a great opportunity for you because there is
less competition.

In the same way you generate traffic, subscribers and
money by writing and submitting articles to article
directories, you can do the same thing with RSS feeds.

You simply create your RSS feed and then submit it to the
various RSS feed directories.

The links within your feeds need to point back to your
websites, affiliate links and opt-in list pages so that you
can make money.

On the Internet content is king and webmasters are always
on the lookout for free content. Especially nowadays, with
the Google Adsense craze, a lot of Internet marketers are
creating tons of websites constantly with page generators
and free content.

This is why an RSS feed will be picked up and used on lots
of different websites, and the smart marketers that use RSS
feeds stand to profit wildly from this situation.

Since you will be submitting the RSS feed to directories,
it is important to use an attractive title, including
related keywords. This way, people looking for content will
find it when doing a search in RSS feed directories.

Now that you have a fair understanding of what RSS is, and
how you can create your own feed, here are some creative
ways to put the power of RSS to work and bring in profits:

1. Syndicate your RSS feed in RSS directories to be picked
up by webmasters looking for free content.

2. Insert relevant affiliate links in your RSS feed.

3. Insert links to your websites and opt-in list pages.
This way you build up your link popularity and attract
traffic to your websites.

4. Sell a product directly using RSS by including your
sales letter in the feed.

5. Use RSS data feed content from other authors to create
a content site using a page generator. Once the content
site is done you can add Adsense and related affiliate
links.

These are just a few ideas to get you started with
profiting from RSS feeds. With application of this
technology you will come up with various other ideas, and
profit even more. The key is to take action and
differentiate yourself from the majority of Internet
marketers, many of whom are afraid to deal with technology
at all.

Have a great week :-)

Networking Your Way to Success!

Networking is obviously an essential part of network
marketing. Every successful network marketer knows this to
be true. Although networking is such an intricate part of
network marketing, the two terms are not synonymous.

However there are many similarities. Both rely heavily on
people skills. Both require people to confront their fear
of talking to other people. Both carry with them the risk
of rejection. Both also carry with them enormous
opportunity. And to some people, both are considered dirty
words.

Of course people that consider networking as something
that is ‘not done’ don’t understand what networking is
really about. The same can be said of people that think
network marketing is something that is beneath them. Many
people think of networking as a way to get connected solely
for their own advancement in life.

In that respect a person might feel that it is unethical
or not noble to network. This line of thinking stems from
the idea that advancement will always come at the expense
of someone else, that success in life is a zero-sum game.

These people often look at network marketing from the same
perspective. They think of profiting from other people’s
efforts as something that is negative and not fair to them.
In reality, successful networkers will tell you that it
doesn’t work that way at all.

Networking doesn’t have to be at anybody’s expense and the
business of network marketing doesn’t reward anyone for
taking advantage of others. It actually rewards people for
helping other people to succeed. In that respect it may
very well be the most ethical business model in the world
today.

A lot of the negativity around networking can be explained
by the different types of networkers. Some can be
considered ‘hunters’, moving in for a quick kill, after
which they move out again. They often operate without
regard of the other persons interest and because of this
they will enjoy the fruits of success for only a limited
period of time.

Often it will not take long before people find out what’s
really driving the hunter. Once they see that he or she is
only looking after his or her own interests, their
willingness to interact with this person will quickly
evaporate.

By contrast, truly successful networkers are often
‘farmers’ who spend a lot of time sowing and nourishing
their relationships, instead of just focusing on reaping.
They invest in their network, they energize their network.
They use their network, but they never ever abuse their
network! And their network knows this.

A true networker will always keep the interests of others
in mind. That’s why working with a true networker is so
enjoyable. Networkers are often very likeable and as such
people like to interact with them.

Networking is a skill that is essential to all businesses
not just network marketing. Although network marketing
differs in many ways from the more traditional forms of
doing business, the importance of networking is just as
prevalent. If not more so. A network marketer that doesn’t
know how to network will be out of business in no time.

Network marketing is first and foremost a people’s
business and this implies that the ability to effectively
work with people is absolutely critical. This is why
successful network marketers are extremely adept at
networking.

Many have found out over time that developing this skill
can pay off in many areas outside their network marketing
business as well. Business owners who have started a home
based business on the side often apply their enhanced
networking and people’s skills in their traditional
business with great success.

For some network marketers this spin-off has earned them
more money than the income from their network marketing
business itself. So whether you are in network marketing or
in a more traditional type of business, don’t underestimate
the importance of becoming an effective networker.

And if you really want to master this skill you may find
there is a lot to learn from good network marketers. So if
you happen to know anybody that fits that description, try
and benefit from their knowledge on the topic. It will
surely help you network your way to success!

This Week’s Trivia Answer
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Here’s the answer to the trivia question I asked earlier…

How old was the oldest man ever recorded?

The greatest age to which any man has ever lived is 120
years 237 days in the case of Shigechiyo Izumi (Japan) of
Isen on Tokunoshima, an island 1,320 km (820 miles) south-
west of Tokyo, Japan.

He was born at Isen on 29 June 1865 and was recorded as a
6-year-old in Japan’s first census of 1871. He died at
12:15 GMT on 21 February 1986 after developing pneumonia.

Get Gack Your Time… and Eliminate Stress!

Work, meetings, deadlines, appointments, telephone calls,
shopping, taking the dogs out etc. - all these are things
most people have to accomplish daily.

Most of the time on the waiting list there are other
things like: family, friends and even ourselves. Sometimes
we discover too late that the points mentioned on the
waiting lists are, in fact, the most important and,
unfortunately, sometimes, we don’t realize this at all, so
find ourselves wondering for what reason we are so unhappy.

There are different books and seminars that help us find
out what the best option for managing our time is. All
these sources are against enemies and they intend to offer
you the best solutions to eliminate it for good, or at
least to reduce it drastically.

All this people know that time is more than money - time
means, first of all, life and, more than that, it means our
lives. That is way we have the obligation not to surrender
in stressful situations and to go fighting for the joy of
living.

Let’s not forget also that deficient management of time
can produce tremendous health problems, both at the
physical and mental level.

But there is good news! Time can be domesticated - we can
make it, in certain manner, obey us. First step in
implementing this process is to identify the elements that
robe your time. Normally, they are divided into two groups

- The external factors (unexpected phone calls, very long
phone conversations, unplanned visits, the policy of open
doors, not sufficiently trained personnel, frequent
meetings, interruptions caused by colleagues, friends and
family etc.)

- The internal factors - related strictly to our own
persons (priorities and objectives that change, the lack of
a daily working plan, lack of self imposed deadlines, the
tendency to take care of too many things at the same time,
disorder, lateness in resolving the conflicts, incapacity
of saying no, lack of decision, tiredness).

By reading the above enumeration, you probably pictured
recalled all the similar situations that you went through.
Now, all you have to do is to find a way to defeat and
eliminate them, so that you can be the mater of your own
time again. Here are three possible ways in which you can
do that:

- Get used to write everything down. It is useful,
especially if you have a bad memory. Otherwise you might
fail to remember to go to important meetings, to make
important phone calls, to answer messages you promised you
would answer. You can also write down great ideas and
inspirations that occur to you in the most unexpected
moments.

- Take a list of priorities. It takes you very little time
to draw it and you can even do it while you’re having your
morning coffee. Write down, the things you need to do that
day, in the order of their importance and urgency.

- Learn to say no. One big mistake that a lot of us make
is that we put other people’s problems in front of ours.
Nevertheless, by helping them in a bad moment for us, we
give rise to frustration, stress and we find ourselves
unable to respect previous engagements.

All these advices are also present in Jean-Louis Servan-
Schreiber’s book New art of time against stress and they
invite us to meditate that more than a weapon against
stress, time management is also a philosophy of life.
