I know I never get personal on my blog, but it's about time I do.
According to my good friend, Jon Olson, being social is the best way to do your online business. Jon has been working for over 10 years now online and he is making a living doing it with Traffic Exchanges. Jon spent years getting his name and picture out there and getting to know other people in forums.
But just recently Jon Olson, Larry Dane, Justin Levinda and Tim Linden of TimTech.us came up with even a better idea. Click track Profit and Traffic Exchange Live. Click Track Profit teaches you how to use social traffic exchanges the correct way, build unique splash pages to get your name out there, learn how to be social and interact with people online. Traffic Exchange Live is a place to gather for training, support, questions and fun. Using your webcam in Traffic Exchange Live is one technique used to help get people to know you as well as the chat room.
The traffic exchange community is a group of some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They are caring, supportive and willing to help you all of the way. Traffic Exchange Live is not a suit and tie community with stuffy gurus. This is an awesome community of loving, caring and helping people that wear everyday clothes.
For more information go to Click Track Profit and Traffic Exchange Live 4PM EAST Monday - Friday. Monday 7PM is very important.

The 7 Most Common Veteran Scams
Veteran scams, targeting a group of people who provide such a
valuable and selfless service to their country, have to be one

Kelley Blue Book Escrow Scam Targets Online Auto Buyers
Websites that look almost identical to the famous Kelley Blue
Book auto pricing guide site are being used as a front for a
phony escrow scam.
Escrow is the system where a third party, independent of a buyer or seller, holds the money for a deal until a product is delivered.
The buyer pays the money to the escrow company, the seller sends the product to the buyer, and then once it's received, the escrow company hands the cash to the seller.
That's great, provided the escrow company is legit.

WHAT IF YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT MARKETING?
Lately, I've been playing the "what if you were wrong" game with my coaching clients. It goes like this:
Client: Jane at XYZ Company hasn't called me back. They must not want to hire me.
C.J.: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: Hmm, maybe I should call her and ask what's up?
In this example, a moment's consideration about the possibility that his thinking might be off base transformed my client's discouraged paralysis into productive action. Examining where you might be wrong about marketing can be an extremely useful exercise for any entrepreneur. Consider these examples:
Client: I don't want to limit myself by choosing a target market. I think I'll market my business to anyone who might need my services.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: I might be spreading myself too thin if I market to everybody. Maybe it would be a good idea to narrow it down a bit.
Client:: The economy is so bad right now, I'm never going to get any big-ticket business. I'd better concentrate on small contracts until things pick up again.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: I guess that could be a mistake. I'll never get any big-ticket business unless I ask for it, right?
Client: I introduced myself to all those prospects already. They'll call me if they need me.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: They could forget about me if they don't hear from me in a while. Maybe I should try to keep in touch.
Client: I heard that social networking is the best way for solopreneurs to market themselves. I'm going to stop my other marketing and put all my effort into Facebook.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: Maybe I should ask some other solopreneurs what their experience has been first.
Client: I don't like making follow-up calls. It should do just as well to send emails instead.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: I could lose out on a lot of sales if people don't read my emails. Maybe I should make a few calls, too.
Client: I got a great offer from my professional association to run a display ad in the conference program. I bet it will bring in lots of clients.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: Perhaps I should call my friend who advertised last year and see what results she had.
Client: Now that my website is up, I should start getting plenty of business online without having to do much about marketing.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: Well, I think pay-per-click ads would be a great way to attract more clients to my website.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that, too?
Client: Maybe I shouldn't let go my offline marketing until I see how well I do online.
As you can see, questioning your assumptions about marketing can lead to designing a much more solid strategy. You can try asking yourself what if you were wrong, but it can be even more powerful to have a friend, colleague, or coach ask you. And, as in the last example above, keep asking until you feel satisfied with your new conclusions.
There's one more type of assumption about marketing you might want to question – not what you're planning to do, but how you feel about doing it:
Client: Marketing is scary. It's uncomfortable, too. I'll never be any good at it.
Coach: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: I guess I can learn to do it better. Maybe then it won't be so scary or uncomfortable.
The next time you decide to do something about marketing – or not do it – take a moment and play the "what if you were wrong" game. You may discover an entirely new perspective, and ultimately, be right more often.
