I just installed a WordPress application to my mobile phone and I’m testing it now how it is and how it works

It’s 15th of April. Which means I’m half way in the Ultimate Blog Challenge.

It’s the 2nd time I take part in it. This time I haven’t been as nervous about keeping the pace to post than I was the 1st time. I’m 3 posts behind after this one.

When I look at my goals for April:

1. Alexa has gone down by 32K ( 124K to go)

2. I will get ca 1000 pageviews this month with the current pace (my goal was 1500).

3. I have received 10 new likes to my facebook page (my goal for this month is 20 new likes so this one is half way there).

4. I have received 17 new backlinks (my goal for the month is 75 new backlinks). This one is a bit frustrating. I commented 30 blogs in the first week and got only 8 new backlinks during that week. Hopefully those links show at some point.

5. I have received 2 new subscribers (my goal is 20 new this month).

6. I’m 3 posts behind from the daily postings.

7. I have 18 new followers at Google+ (my goal for the month is 20 new so this one looks quite good).

8. I have 20 new followers at Pnterest (my goal for this month is 50 new)

9. I have 7 new members in the Armiexpress community (my goal for the month is 50 new members so I’m way behind with that one).

10. Daily walking: I managed to do 30 min a day for the first week but then the 2nd week I got distracted with gardening and simply forgot to go for a walk

My general feeling is that 10 different goals is too many to focus on properly. In the 2nd half of the month I will  better in those things I’m behind in goals.

Most people will admit that wealth brings in more happiness and so there is no surprise that people want to attract more success.

The problem however is that people tend to try and force success into their lives and this leads to more problems.

In order to really attract more success, there are actually three secrets that can utilize to be able to see more success in life.

Here are a few things to consider when it comes to attracting more success.

Visualize Success

In order to have success, you must see it before it comes. This is something that a lot of people do not understand. When you visualize success in your life, you will be able to “control” the things that happen to you.

Accept Failure

However, though you can visualize success, things just might not go the way you want. This will happen to everyone and you simply can’t expect to succeed on your first try.

No matter what you do in life, you will need to realize that you just might fail but this should not stop you from trying again.

Never Quit

As cliche as this may sound, you simply can not quit. Life will have a lot of ups and downs and the trick is to have steady emotions.

If you stop yourself from enjoying the highs too much and sulking in the bad, then you will be able to really feel happier on a consistent basis.

These three secrets are really just things that people forget.

In order to truly attract more success, you simply need to change your mentality and to always see the good in every situation, no matter how bad it can be.

With just a little patience and hard work, you will be able to live a happier and more successful life.

Essentially Google Plus is a social networking site. It was designed to compete with sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

Several reviews have recognized that Google Plus offers many of the social media benefits all rolled into one package.

Additionally, Google Plus has the added benefit of being able to integrate many of the Google services that we are already dependent on with added personalization and flexibility.

You can set your Google Plus profile as public or private, you can post blogs, share links, videos and photos with the contacts you have on your list as well with those in your circle.

Google Plus also allows you to censor the materials that you share if you don’t wish your coworkers to see you in photos from the party you were at on Saturday night.

In answer to the question What is Google+ and what are the benefits for businesses? Google is the number one used search engine in the world, if you have a well designed Google Plus profile your business will benefit in page rankings, making it possibly the best social outlet for brand promotion.

Similar to Facebook, Google Plus has a like button called +1 which you can integrate onto your business website allowing consumers to share your business on their profile pages.

Google also has the added benefit of being able to link pages with places, through the use of Google Maps. Users can freely interact by providing reviews about your business.

There are a number of business circles that you can create enabling you to target and tailor the information that is sent out to your connections.

For example you can have a circle for present clients, as well as a circle for past clients. You can target new product and service information that may be of benefit to them.

You can have as many circles as you wish, allowing you to target specific information to specific people.

It is essential for businesses no matter what size to implement a strategy for social media. The strategy that you choose to implement should include Google Plus.

The way businesses market and communicate with their clients is continuously changing, in order for your business to gain a competitive advantage, it is vital that it stays up to date in the world of social media.

There are numerous aspects involved in developing an Internet marketing plan. From budget to end goal, website marketing is a long-term process.

It is also detailed process, which is the reason many site owners hire a marketing specialist to help them plan.

To start, you must think about the major goal of the marketing campaign. Do you want to increase customer loyalty, boost brand awareness or sell products?

A correctly executed Internet marketing strategy can take an e-commerce business to new levels if all steps are geared toward reaching that final goal.

Your campaign will be limited by your marketing budget. Many website owners start with a small amount of money, gradually increasing the budget to the highest, yet still comfortable level.

An Internet marketing budget can be unlimited, and you may never reach your entire customer base. Stick with what you can afford, and work within your budget’s confines.

Learn about the direct competitors in your niche by searching for your website’s keywords.

You will realize that some businesses are more competitive than others. And potential customers who are searching for services or products offered by your company will usually choose highly ranked websites.

Therefore, any site listed above your site is a competitor. Thoroughly research their services and products, and learn their strengths and weaknesses.

Make any necessary improvements to your website. Remember, a site is similar to a storefront. The more enticing the website’s design, the more traffic and sales the business will garner.

Your services and products should not be carbon copies of your competitors, even if you must increase the quality of your items or include extras in your service packages.

Finally, identify the customer base you want to target, and advertise in places where they frequent. There are even some sites, particularly social networks, that will place business advertisements in front of a certain audiences to which the ads are targeted.

Today I watched an episode of Oprah’s Lifeclass with Tony Robbins. I hadn’t heard Mr. Robbins speak before. I must say I was impressed!

“You become who you spend time with.” – Tony Robbins.

The Lifeclass with Tony Robbins is about living fearlessly.

Fear is energy. You can turn it into power.

In order to have a breakthrough in your life you need someone to tell you the truth. Not someone who will feel for you but who will wake you up! But the only person who can change your life is YOU!

In order to have a breakthrough in your life you need to stop telling yourself limiting beliefs. Your belief system is moldable, shapeable and malleable.

If you have a moment go take a look at him speaking. It will be worth it!

Here is the link to Oprah’s Lifeclass’ Full Episode with Tony Robbins: Living Fearlessly.

Getting people to your website is a very important skill. It’s not just about writing content and generating a buzz around it, although those are important skills too.

The work begins way before you start writing on your site, as you need to find the perfect niche – the subject of your website. Niche research is about finding profitable subjects that are broad enough to write enough content about, yet narrow enough for you to become an authority on the topic.

A great way to establish the popularity of a niche market is to use the Google AdWords keyword tool. Simply type in the name of the niche and you will see the number of searches performed each month, along with lots of related keywords.

If you sign in to the tool, you will also see the average price you would expect to pay to advertise on the front page of Google for each term. This should give you a feel for how much money there is to be made in the niche you have chosen to research.

There are a number of ways to find out how much competition you will face if you launch a site in a particular niche market. For a very quick and broad estimation, simply search for the niche name in speech marks in Google.

The higher the number of results returned, the more competition is out there. Of course, this doesn’t give you much insight into the quality of the competition, just the quantity.

To get a more reliable indication of how tough a keyword will be to rank for in search results, there are free tools to download, popular ones include Market Samurai and Traffic Travis. These will analyze things like how many inbound links are pointing to sites already ranking for the niche terms.

This gives a far more accurate picture of competition, but can take a while to fully research.

By doing your niche research properly, you will save time and effort. Focusing on the wrong markets will usually result in poor results, namely profit. When you find a niche market with plenty of search volume, good advertiser spend and relatively low competition, you have truly found your niche.

In nearly every aspect of life, there is a fear of failure. Even the greatest of all time have had the fear of failure. The trick is to learn how to use that energy to turn it into something positive.

It’s human to have some kind of fear. This is because humans are programmed to have fear. Once you are able to turn this fear into energy towards succeeding, you will start to see the amazing changes in your life.

The fear of failure usually comes from lack of confidence.

If you are confident in your craft, then you will have less fear of failure. The goal is to have very little fear and to basically try to get as close to “fearless” as possible.

The closer you get to the state of fearless the easier you see your life. If you get into the habit of always fearing failure, you will never open yourself up to ever feeling what success feels like.

Every problem has a solution and only time will reveal the answer. If for some reason you do “fail,” remember that this is only to test your patience because things happen for a reason, no matter how bad they seem.

Be thankful for every moment of your life and remember that success and failure should be greeted with open arms. When you have this in mind, you will inevitably lose the fear of failure because you know that everything happens for a reason.

Having seen many people do these Random Things About Me -posts I thought I’d make one myself. Here is 7 random things about me:

1. English was my favorite subject at school. I was an average pupil in pretty much everything else than languages. In English I was the best in my class.

2. When I was 19 I wanted to become a translator when I grow-up. That didn’t happen. Instead I went to a business school.

3. I’ve done most of my traveling before I turned 22. That’s when I graduated and got my first job.

4. I bought my first own apartment when I was 26. Which turned out to be the best investment I’ve ever made.

5. When I’ve grown older I’ve focused on purpose in things I’ve disliked when I was younger. Because I think the dislike to things comes from not being good at those things. By getting better at them you’ll start liking them.

6. I’m actually already retired. Which gives me a great deal of freedom without having the “must” to make a living with what I do. (This is both good and bad. If I’d have the “have-to” I’d be more serious about making money. Then again, when I don’t have the “have-to” I’m totally stress-free

7. The happiest day of my life was when I got married. I still remember the feeling.
