Make Everyday A Masterpiece Because . . .

Make everyday a masterpiece because you don't know how many days you have left. Two things happened during the past week that rattled my cage and got me thinking about things.

The first was the sudden death of an acquaintance here in Florida.

His name was Bob. He was 64 and retired and had a massive heart attack late Sunday night.

I just saw him the night before at a party. He was a prince of a man. He was very soft-spoken and always smiling.

In an instant he was gone forever.

His son Alex was on his way to Las Vegas for work. As soon as he learned what happened he got the first redeye flight back to Tampa.

Bob's daughter Jenny flew from Boston to be with her mother.

Friends were bringing in lunches and dinners for Sue and her kids.

It was a steady stream of friends visiting to pay their condolences.

Of course people die every day and the evidence is in the obituary column in all newspapers.

I scan these obituaries several times a week. The big difference is I don't know any of these people.

When someone you know dies that's different.

I don't know about you, but it makes me stop and think.

I start thinking about the things I take for granted.

Then I start thinking about the people I'm taking for granted.

It makes me think about what I think is important.

Of course this makes me think about what really is important.

Something else got me thinking about things this week.

It was a book that could be a life changer for you.

The title is, "The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea" written by Bob Burg and John David Mann.

The book described the five laws of stratospheric success.

If you're in sales you spend much of your time chasing new business.

The secret to selling more is to give more and serve more. Sorry, you'll have to read the book to learn the five laws of stratospheric success.

It's an excellent book with an extraordinary message waiting for you.

Bob's death and this extraordinary book got me thinking about a lot of things.

And remember it's never too late to make changes in your life - before it ends.

Make everyday a masterpiece because you don't know how many days you have left and neither do I.

Re: 10 Tips to Start an Online Business - [quote="Anya101":1y6il6zm] 5. Make it very easy for people to order your products. The easier the order process, the more orders you will get. Make sure your payment pages are secured. If you accept payment online, it is [/quote:1y6il6zm] *This* is very good advice. I went to a site a couple of weeks ago to order a DVD, an independent movie, and instead of having Paypal, I had to jump through hoops to sign up for their payment system. It would have taken me more minutes than I cared to spend, so I just didn't bother!
Re: May Traffic Drop Off from Google's Update - I feel that the best way to make your website click is to target both SEO and other marketing channels. In case it is not possible for website owners or webmasters to invest into other marketing channels, then they must make sure that they are following guidelines laid down by search engines. Whenever there is an update in algorithm, it is only done to filter out artificial websites from the search results. However , it is observed that on several occasions innocent people fall victim to the update in algorithm. If you have an article website and your member copy pasted article from some other website, there is very little you can do to avoid duplicate penalty. The latest tips to avoid your rankings going into roller coaster ride is to make sure :- a) That your website is having genuine and unique content b) Make sure you do not use any automated SEO tools. c) Make sure that your back linking pattern is not a pre-defined targeting same set of keywords again and again. d) Add useful content to your website every single week or fortnight ( if possible) e) Abstain from artificial keyword density f) Abstain from empty pages on your website or doorway pages with empty or duplicate content. g) Make sure you to not have HTML errors in your coding ( If your H1 tag is left open, then it can trigger SPAM ALERT on Google.)
