Blogging contest from DNXpert

We recently stumbled upon DNXpert.com and found that they are offering up a contest that contains up to $4800 in cash and prizes and we thought we would join in to see how this pans out. There are two of the prizes that we would love to win the first being the $500 PayPal and the second being the 10 LLLL.com names from Domainmagnate.com. We have been dabbling in site acquistion and promotion over the last few years and have started having some great success in acquiring domains and then shaping into a market niche and selling them off. So this is why the $500 would be nice to add to our funds to go out and aggressively pursue some of the top level domains that become available.

We know that are competing against seasoned pro’s that know every little advantage there is to know but with some luck and ambition we can build a small little empire that can help build our brand awareness while increasing a nice income through online domains. If you are looking to jump in on the contest that ends November 30th then head on over to DNXpert.com and enter today. And be sure to check out their forum which has some great posts and lists about expiring domains and how to acquire these valuable internet properties. They are adding various ways to enhance your chances so make sure that you subscribe to their feed and best of luck.

Small business will help this economy

I have heard the same theory over the past few weeks that Entrepreneurship will be the key to helping this economy getting back on its feet. The thought is that small business will help to create jobs and growth in the private sector thus creating the forward momentum that we need. The idea that we need to grow government and government run programs is only a short term fix and will not sustain long term growth. That is why I was excited to read about an initiative from the Kauffman Foundation called Fast Trac that will fund local initiatives in communities that have hardest hit by the down turn to help Young Entrepreneurship grow and thrive.

Through a partnership of the Kauffman Foundation and Deluxe Corporation Foundation that will invest $1million to help support the Entrepreneur spirit through a program called FastTrac LaunchPad where job loss have been the greatest. The main focus behind the FastTrac launch is to help local people with the drive to start their own business by giving them the essential tools and training to create their vision.This present the opportunity for those that unemployed to possibly make their own future out of sound business models rather than settling for the next available job. This can help instill passion and ownership on making things better and providing a stronger economy through small business.

The FastTrac NewVenture program includes ten modules:

  • Exploring Entrepreneurship
  • dentifying and Meeting Market Needs
  • Setting Financial Goal
  • Planning the Product/Service
  • Researching and Analyzing the Market
  • Reaching the Market
  • Building the Organization and Team
  • Planning for a Profitable Business
  • Monitoring Cash Flow and Seeking Funds
  • Implementing Next Steps

Building your brand

Companies like GY8.net provide great access to many users and they are actually white listed in services like AOL. White listed basically means that the emails sent with this newsletter won’t get bounced back.

There are many ways to increase your rankings and customers, but if you do not provide a compelling story or reason for them to explore your blog or blogs or webpage then you have missed the opportunity to make the most out of your marketing dollars.

Getting Google to noitce your blog

Here’s are some ideas that we came across to help you get your blog noticed by the Search engines:

  1. if you get your site’s link in the path of the search engine spider or robot of your choice, in this case Googlebot, if may follow it.
  2. the way to get it to follow the link is to make sure it can “see” your link
  3. if your content fills a need that the search engine’s database of links has, it will include your link, and,
  4. if your link fills a deficit better than any other site, in accordance with Google’s secret formula or algorithm, it will rank your page well.
  5. Keep your blog content fresh on your blogs

So now, the only missing component necessary to our success is now finding out how to be the best site Google finds for a category that has a deficit.
One of the strengths of Google, as perceived by people who like it, is the vast amount of fresh content it contains that is relevant to almost any topic, or keyword, typed into it, no matter how narrow or broad.
