I did some checking at Google Maps and found out that although it is easy submit to Google Maps, there are no guarantees that you’re going to achieve the goal of dominance in your niche.  So I checked into a couple companies that provide this as a service.

Some of them seemed like they had their ducks in a row, but they costs $500 a month and they only got you on Google!

Then I had a break through; I found MapTraffic.net.

Map Traffic guarantees you the front page on Google Maps, but they also help you get listed in other directories and websites too. They also have their system down to a science. If Google decides to shake up the internet with an algorithm change, their programming adapts to the changes to get you back to the front page faster.

After talking with MapTraffic’s owner about what I needed for my customers and hearing about what they were able to do, I asked him if I could partner with him to market and manage his affiliate sales.

Here is our first video talking about the Map Traffic system:

Is your business struggling to get on the Map? Would you like to get on the first page faster and stay there when your competition gets aggressive or Google starts messing with their settings?

I’d encourage you to check out www.MapTraffic.net and see if we can help your business get on the Map. If you’re still relying on the Yellow Pages to sell your product or service, you missing out on a lot of customers.

Oh, since I’m the affiliate manager for Map Traffic, I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you that you can make a lot of extra money by telling your friends and business partners about our services. If you would like to find out more about our affiliate program, shoot me an email. It is by invitation only ~ so you’ll need to knock on the door to get let in…or just email me.

Good Luck with your Business!

Hey everyone, Kirk here with an important reminder and Marketing Quick Tip.

Yes, I posted on this before, but if you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen me posting about my computer crashing and dying!

Apart from me sending my hard drive to a specialist, I have totally lost all the data on it, period.  I don’t know if you’ve look into a data recovery center and how much they cost, but you’re talking about $1,000 – 2,000 just for them to look at it.

Luckily, this was only my back up computer and nothing important was lost, but imagine that you have just completed your big project and you head off to bed. Satisfied after hours of hard work, but when you go to your computer to send it off all you hear is the loud click of a broken hard drive; now what?

Ever year, 43% of computer users lose irreplaceable emails, documents, photos and other files.

I recommend a great product that is so affordable and easy to use, that you would be foolish not to use it. Here is how it works:

Carbonite installs a small application on your computer that works quietly in the background looking for new and changed files that need to be backed up. It looks and feels just like part of your computer, and is integrated with your desktop — there’s no new interface for you to learn.

When your computer is idle, Carbonite automatically backs up your new and changed files. You don’t have to do anything! When you’re using your computer, Carbonite goes to sleep so it will never slow you down or interfere with your Internet connection.

Carbonite takes data privacy and security very seriously. All your files are encrypted twice before leaving your PC. Files remain encrypted at our secure data centers, so only you can see your files.

If you accidentally delete or otherwise lose files, it takes just a few clicks on your desktop to get them back. If your computer is damaged, stolen or “just dies” and you lose all your files, just visit Carbonite’s website from a new computer. Within minutes you’ll be able to begin restoring all your files.

I met with my Internet Marketing Mindset Group on Tuesday and we discussed the importance of video content when marketing, SEO techniques and tools, and strategies for more traffic and more profit through blogging and social media.  I gave a demonstration of http://www.tubemogul.com ~ which allows you to submit a video to multiple video sites at once.

Currently there are 6 Internet Marketers who meet every other Tuesday.  There different levels of knowledge and experience, but everyone is open to sharing and learning from each other.  We are building the foundation for each member to have a money generating internet site using the techniques I am teaching.

I can’t express the importance of having a Master Mind Group to help you discover the Internet Marketing Mindset within you.  Everyone can make money online, but only a few figure out how.

If you would like more information about our Mastermind Group or would like information on Internet Marketing or developing your business online, give me a call today.

Maybe you’ve tried to make some money with Adsense, but consistently are disappointed with the few cents you pull in each day.  Seriously, it is really easy to get caught up in the hottest idea and miss the big picture.

But, everyone has to start someplace and I want to help you get started on making real money online using a proven system that really does work.

Look, I’m not going to tell you that it won’t cost you some time and money or that you will make $10,000 in one day, because that is all the hype others are selling on the internet, but if you are serious about creating a business online, creating a residual income every month, and setting your self up to enjoy some extra income each month, I have something you may be interested in taking a look at.

Visit: http://www.instantadsensesites.com. You’ll find all the information you will need to get started building a business today.  This is an out of the box system that will give you all the tools you will need to get started right away.

By-the-way, let me know what you are doing after you get started!  I will feature your success story here once you get started.

At the end of 2008, everyone was talking about how hard of a year it was and wondering what their next quarter would look like; well, your next quarter is about to end…how did you do?  Unfortunately, 2009 is probably going to be a much tougher year that 2008 for your business.  The economy is in a tail spin and each day brings new “changes” that make having a successful business more and more difficult.  It is almost like Washington is purposely trying to make things worse by adding more taxes and fees to just about everything.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to be successful, even in a tough economy! This is not the time to lay down and quit ~ rather, it is the time to work SMARTER and not HARDER.

As a Business Coach and Marketing Consultant, I typically see businesses at their worst and am asked to help revive them.  In my practice, there a few things that set the winners apart from the rest.

1. Surround your self with success! Find a Mastermind of people who are successfully doing what you want to do and join them.
2. Do a SWOT Analysis. Take a couple hours and evaluate your businesses Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.  Once you have completed a SWOT Analysis ~ build a Blue Print for Success.
3. Get some Coaching! Everyone needs a coach and most successful business men and women have them and use them often.  Coaches offer a new perspective and often the positive encouragement you need do the things that create success.
4. Be Positive! Yes, this is a tough economy, but you are able to be successful in any situation, despite the economy.  Don’t let negative people hold you back.  Set a goal and accomplish it.

I want to help you with your business success.  If you are ready to take your business to the next level and you want to move forward despite the economy, let me know.  The first step is to sign up for my free newsletter and get the 3 principles to successful business delivered right to your email.  I look forward to connecting with you soon!
