How to Start Blogging the Right Way



Once you have decided to start a blog, the first decision to make is what it's going to be about. Starting with something you are passionate about will make it easier to get blogging and stay with it.

Have an idea of a destination, without every really planning to get there. It's all about the journey...sort of like life. And don't feel like you have to get it perfect the first time out.

Before you actually get started sit down and give some thought to the topics you would like to cover. Create an outline of your thoughts that will help create a cohesive picture, like building a story; action upon action, thought upon thought, that brings your reader back for more.

Plan to post to your blog every day for at least 7 days. More if you have it in you. That's where your outline comes in handy, because you can keep building on the outline. This continual posting will get the attention of the search engines.

Plan keywords for your blog that can be used for anchor text. Anchor text is an active link that when clicked on takes you somewhere else. This is going to be determined by why you are blogging. Are you driving traffic to your website or promoting an affiliate link? The anchor text needs to be the words you are using as keywords for your website and will help your website by giving you back links with your keywords.

Make sure that as you post to your blog you are bookmarking it on social bookmarking sites such as Digg.com, StumbleUpon.com, and Reddit.com. These will help get you traffic from people who use these sites looking for content.

Always incorporate a call to action in the side bar of your blog and within the individual posts when ever possible. Inviting people to look at your website draws their attention and lets them know you have something you feel is worth their time. People will almost always come and take a look. Then it's up to you to give them what they may be looking for.

So, here it is again in short:

4 basic steps to start your blogging right are:

  • to blog once a day for at least a week
  • anchor text in your blog
  • bookmark every new blog post
  • include a call to action on your blog and with individual blog posts

These 4 things will help you be successful with getting traffic to your main site from your blogging site.

What Do You Believe In?


TO BELIEVE IS TO MOTIVATE!


Have you invested in a business because you caught the vision of how it could set you free financially and then you did nothing with it?


You thought everything sounded good, but you've heard it before and so you're just going to see how it goes?


Hello...then nothing happens, no one wants to join your business and you end up telling yourself it was the business opportunity.


Wake-up people!! There are a lot of truly great business opportunities out there, but every single one requires effort, planning, and a strategy for success. It's not going to just magically happen.


Even an opportunity as incredible as Changing the World 2gether requires effort, planning and strategy from every member. However, this opportunity will build your business easier than any other opportunity out there.


If you don't believe in your business, nobody else is going to either. Even Changing the World 2gether requires adding new members to grow the business. And each person has to take responsibility for their own. I you are going to bring in that one person you have to believe your business model can work. And if you truly understand how the business model works you couldn't help but believe in it.


How are you planning to get the word out about your business. You will need more than one method for success.


Social media is real hot right now, and a lot of fun. Blogging is very personal and an easy, free way to share your expertise. Newsletters are read if they have good information and they can really reveal the essence of your opportunity and the people involved in it. Ezines are a long lasting method of sharing knowledge as are new releases.


Joining a team like Changing the World 2gether allows you to choose a method you truly enjoy and can excell at and focus on that.


You don't have to do it all, because you aren't left to build your business alone.

Where Would You Go Without a Destination?


Every journey begins with a single step, but without a destination each step leads you nowhere. You are responsible for your journey and where it leads. People in your life can make suggestions, provide examples, attempt to lead you, but you must take those steps and decide for yourself where they will lead.

Bottom line you are the only one responsible for you and if you don't take the initiative to create a pathway to success you are doomed to fail.

Even when you are involved in a team like CTWT, where you are guaranteed a downline by locking in your place on the team, you still have a responsibility to take action.

You may have gotten involved because it didn't cost much...we made it that way because there are so many people truly hurting right now that need an opportunity for success. But we haven't provided it so you didn't have to work for it.

Each person must make the effort to discover where they want to go and how they plan on getting there.

You will not get anywhere without a destination.

At CTWT we have a destination and we have a plan to get there.

The Power of One...add just one person a month to your business and as part of the team you will have a business built for you.

Here is how it works:

We began building this team earnestly in September, and when we ended the month of December, we roughly had around 350 people with Changing the World 2gether, and what I would like to do now, is show you what can happen when everyone on our team FOCUS’S on bringing one new person onto our team every 30 days.

By August 19th, if everyone on our team will bring in just ONE person each, we will grow our team to 89,600 members. What that does is it builds the front line 5 for 8,960 team members, the 2nd level of 25 for 1,792 team members, the 3rd level of 125 for 358.4 team members, the 4th level of 625 143.3 team members, the 5th level of 3,125 for 28.6 team members, the 6th level of 15,625 for 5.7 team members, and the 7th level of 78, 125 for 1 team member.

By Oct 19th, if everyone on our team will bring in just ONE person each, we will grow our team to 358,400 team members. What that does is it builds the front line 5 for 35,840 team members, the 2nd level of 25 for 7,168 team members, the 3rd level of 125 for 1,433.6 team members, the 4th level of 625 for 573.4 team members, the 5th level of 3,125 for 114.7 team members, the 6th level of 15,625 for 22.9 team members and the 7th level of 78,125 for 4.6 team members.

By Nov 19th, if everyone on our team will bring in just ONE person each, we will grow our team to 716,800 team members. What that does is it builds the front line 5 for 71,680 team members, the 2nd level of 25 for 14,336 team members, the 3rd level of 125 for 2,867.2 team members, the 4th level of 625 for 1,147 team members, the 5th level of 3,125 for 229.3 team members, the 6th level of 15,625 for 45.8 team members, and the 7th level of 78,125 for 9.1 team members.

By Dec 19th, if everyone on our team will bring in just ONE person each, we will grow our team to 1,433,600 team members. What that does is it builds the front line 5 for 143,360 team members, the 2nd level of 25 for 28,672 team members, the 3rd level of 125 for 5,734.4 team members, the 4th level of 625 for 2,293.7 team members, the 5th level of 3,125 for 458.7 team members, the 6th level of 15,625 for 89 team members, and the 7th level of 78,125 for 18.3 team members.

So what this means is that by Christmas of next year, every one of our team members would have their first 5 levels completed and half would have their 6th level completed. What can that mean in income? Let’s break it down.

Level 1 pays 5% so that would pay out $25. Level 2 would pay out 5% so that’s $125. Level 3 would pay out 10% so that’s 1,250. Level 4 would pay out 5% so that’s $3,125 and level 5 would pay out 5% so that’s $15,625. So every one of our team members on board right now, could be earning a monthly income of $20,150 but here’s where it gets even better.

The structure and volume for each team member will be in place for everyone to reach 200K Premier Select. So what that means is that everyone now would be on 3 cases of product, so take the $20,150 a month and triple that number. That’s $60,450 minimum because a number of you will have the next level done as well. This doesn’t factor in the global bonus pool, or the Premier trip to Thailand, the Hawaiian retreat, or the 200K Premier trip to Italy.

Now I want each person reading this post to seriously answer these questions. Is there any reason why any of you couldn’t find one person to add to your business each month in 2009, knowing this is what will be waiting on you come Dec of 09? Is there anything out there, that could possibly be paying you six figure monthly income by Dec of 09 on a residual basis?

These are not hypothetical figures. This is a growing company that is paying their distributors every month for drinking juice, taking vitamins, using a fabulous skincare product and improving every aspect of their lives, including their financial status.

Can you do this by shopping at your local grocery, or health food store. No! You have to buy from yourself, by becoming a Pro-sumer instead of a Con-sumer.

If you are depending on your job, trading your time for money, working for someone else you need to take another look around. No matter how secure you feel, all it takes is one pink slip and you are in the unemployment line.

What I have noticed is that companies that are set up as a MLM model are the ones that are growing. Traditional business, even large corporations (look at the automobile industry) are letting people go, closing their doors, quitting business or asking for a bailout.

CTWT is an opportunity you can't afford to pass-up. Take a close look, ask questions, and then join our team and bring just one person a month to the table to join us and have a fabulous business built for you with the Power of One and the CTWT team!

Are You Looking for a Job or a Business


Anyone that is alive and breathing knows what is happening in our economy.

Major companies downsizing and many closing the doors on all of their stores.

Billion dollar bailouts requested for the automobile industry.

588,000 jobs lost in the month of November alone, in the US.

Traditional businesses are loosing ground fast and the ordinary "Joe" is the one on the loosing end of the stick.

Now this is what I'm seeing, because I am involved in a few different businesses and they are all growing and expanding. Developing new products, moving into new corporate headquarters, offering million dollar incentives. These businesses are heading in the opposite direction of the traditional businesses. These businesses are gaining ground and taking their distributors with them.

The New Year will see many ordinary "Joes" looking for alternatives. Trying to feed their families, pay their mortgage, keep the car paid for...forget about saving money right now. This is called survival mode.

Who are the richest people and what are they doing? What do the richest people in the country promote and what do they recommend for the rest of us to help pull us from the poverty cycle?

I can't say it here because believe it or not it is still a dirty word. I can't believe it, when a business that has been around for over 50 years, successfully building and paying its' distributors using this business model, and it is still a dirty word.

This is actually one business model that is thriving, and from the looks of it will continue to do so.

So the alternatives are there if you look in the right places. The opportunity for success, the option of turning your life around and realize every dream, is all right there if you have the vision to see past the ordinary.

By this time next year you could be amoung the wealthy instead of impoverished. You could be helping others realize their dreams, helping family step up their lifestyle, showing ex-coworkers how to walk away from their jobs. You could hold the answer because you had perserverence and recognized the business model that the wealthy recommend.

You need to get to know me. You need to email me or call me and talk to me about where you're at and how I can help you.

Stuff your fear. Stuff your wariness. Stuff your attitude that says, I've heard that all before and take another look. I have something to share with you that is different than anything you have ever seen before.

Get rid of all that junk you have been promoting. All that cr*p that's sucking up your time and getting you nowhere. Be honest with yourself, that only fools fall for any of that junk anyway and you'll never be able to build a sustaining, profitable business with a bunch of fools. Walk away and refuse to be the fool too. You know what I mean.

Anyone who is successful in this business is not promoting the junk. They are involved in legitimate, secure, viable businesses that are actively growing, with new product, new incentives, and unprecedented expansion. And they are doing it now, while the rest of the country is quickly drowning, and tossing people aside like they are dead weight.

Come connect with me and I will show you.

Absolutely the Best Gift



We have heard how it is better to teach a man to fish than to simply fill his plate and let him eat. For if a man is not taught how to meet his own needs he will forever be dependent on someone else to do it for him.

It is human nature, I think, to want others to do for us. After all, that is the way we come into this world. We need our mother to feed and care for us. We need our father to go to work so he can provide for our food, lodging, and clothing. All our basic needs are met from the time we take our first breath. At least this is how it is supposed to be.

We all know that this is not always the way it works. But ideally it does.

Once we reach adolecence we begin to learn how to take care of ourselves. And depending on how good a job our parents have done down through the ages, we each learn that we reap what we sow and no one is deserving of a free ride. The work must be done for the harvest to be plentiful.

You can sit around and complain about the weather, be negative about your yield, and feel sorry for yourself with the outcome. But none of that will produce better results the next time around.

Better to spend your time improving the soil, so it will have more nutrients, hold more moisture and present a higher yield your next time around.

I am involved with a team that teaches men to fish. A team that sees the cup half full. A team that feeds the soil with dreams and tends the crops with hope and expects the highest yield of success.


No matter what you are doing,
success depends on a solid structure.

My gift to you is this link:

Blessings,
Christy

"Forecast of Doom and Gloom Got You Wondering"



The holidays are upon us and the economic outlook is bleaker than ever.


I work retail and the store is like deader than it has ever been. My managers are nervously working to help the sales staff with tools on how to improve the few sales we are getting.


And it looks like things will be getting worse before they start getting any better. But for many of us there is hope. And for any who have an open heart and vision this will go beyond hope to reality.


Robert Kiyosaki has tagged MLM as the best business model for entreprenuers. Many of the wealthiest men in the world have an MLM business somewhere in their dosier.


It's time to wake up and stop listening to all the loosers around you and pay attention to the successful.


While there are many in MLM who are struggling and not even making enough to cover the cost of their products, with Changing the World we have a team strategy that works for everyone.


After you read the predictions below you just might want to click through to Changing the World and see just what we are all about. It would be a smart move on your part.

Gerald Celente

The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions - all within four years, while cautioning that putting food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by 2012.

Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute, is renowned for his accuracy in predicting future world and economic events, which will send a chill down your spine considering what he told Fox News this week.

Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.

"We're going to see the end of the retail Christmas….we're going to see a fundamental shift take place….putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree," said Celente, adding that the situation would be "worse than the great depression".

"America's going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for," said Celente, noting that people's refusal to acknowledge that America was even in a recession highlights how big a problem denial is in being ready for the true scale of the crisis.

Celente, who successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive devaluation of the U.S. dollar, told UPI in November last year that the following year would be known as "The Panic of 2008," adding that "giants (would) tumble to their deaths," which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others. He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent.

The consequence of what we have seen unfold this year would lead to a lowering in living standards, Celente predicted a year ago, which is also being borne out by plummeting retail sales figures.

The prospect of revolution was a concept echoed by a British Ministry of Defence report last year, which predicted that within 30 years, the growing gap between the super rich and the middle class, along with an urban underclass threatening social order would mean, "The world's middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest," and that, "The middle classes could become a revolutionary class."

In a separate recent interview, Celente went further on the subject of revolution in America.

"There will be a revolution in this country," he said. "It's not going to come yet, but it's going to come down the line and we're going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen."

"The first thing to do is organize with tax revolts. That's going to be the big one because people can't afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You're going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop."

"It's going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we're going to see many more."

"We're going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. It's going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be used to. It's going to come as a shock and with it, there's going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, people's minds weren't wrecked on all these modern drugs - over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody's comprehension."

The George Washington blog has compiled a list of quotes attesting to Celente's accuracy as a trend forecaster.

"When CNN wants to know about the Top Trends, we ask Gerald Celente."

- CNN Headline News

"A network of 25 experts whose range of specialties would rival many university faculties."

- The Economist

"Gerald Celente has a knack for getting the zeitgeist right."

- USA Today

"There's not a better trend forecaster than Gerald Celente. The man knows what he's talking about."

- CNBC

"Those who take their predictions seriously … consider the Trends Research Institute."

- The Wall Street Journal

"Gerald Celente is always ahead of the curve on trends and uncannily on the mark … he's one of the most accurate forecasters around."

- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Mr. Celente tracks the world's social, economic and business trends for corporate clients."

- The New York Times

"Mr. Celente is a very intelligent guy. We are able to learn about trends from an authority."

- 48 Hours, CBS News

"Gerald Celente has a solid track record. He has predicted everything from the 1987 stock market crash and the demise of the Soviet Union to green marketing and corporate downsizing."

- The Detroit News

"Gerald Celente forecast the 1987 stock market crash, 'green marketing,' and the boom in gourmet coffees."

- Chicago Tribune

"The Trends Research Institute is the Standard and Poors of Popular Culture."

- The Los Angeles Times

"If Nostradamus were alive today, he'd have a hard time keeping up with Gerald Celente."

- New York Post

So there you have it - hardly a nutjob conspiracy theorist blowhard now is he? The price of not heeding his warnings will be far greater than the cost of preparing for the future now. Storable food and gold are two good places to make a start.
