Cars help kids: Chevy donates $1million with your help
2008-03-31T19:48:00.001-07:00Chevrolet will donate up to $1 million to Autism Speaks when consumers take virtual test drives of the all-new Chevy Malibu during Autism Awareness Month: Make a Difference today! Click here http://www.chevrolet.com/autismspeaks/2008-03-26, DETROIT “Autism Speaks and Chevrolet today announced a month-long promotion to help generate up to $1 million for the non-profit organization and create greater awareness of autism, a disorder that is now diagnosed in one in every 150 children.
During April Autism Awareness Month people who go to the Autism Speaks website (autismspeaks.org), can click on the Help Chevy Help Autism icon and take a free virtual test drive of the 2008 North American Car of the Year the new Chevy Malibu. Chevrolet has committed to a minimum contribution of $500, 000, but e very virtual test drive taken gets Chevrolet closer to its goal of donating up to $1 million to Autism Speaks to support its mission of increasing awareness of autism and raising money to fund autism research. Those who participate in the virtual test drive will be offered a free 30-day online trial of XM Satellite Radio.
http://www.chevrolet.com/autismspeaks/
Chevrolet is making a remarkable commitment to helping the millions of families across America affected by autism, said Mark Roithmayr, Autism Speaks president. The money raised during this campaign will fund important research focused on finding the answers our families desperately seek. In addition, by bringing our message of autism awareness to a new and expanded audience, Chevrolet and General Motors are contributing to a greater sense of understanding and compassion about this disorder.
Autism, a complex neurobiological disorder that is more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined, impairs a persons ability to communicate and relate to others. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike in boys than girls. A new case of autism is diagnosed every 20 minutes.
The Chevrolet and General Motors families have a long history of giving back to the communities in which we live and work, said Mark LaNeve, North America vice president of vehicle sales, service and marketing. We are proud to join with Autism Speaks, the largest national organization dedicated to awareness, advocacy and finding effective treatments for autism. This is a great opportunity for us to provide consumers the opportunity to engage in the Chevy Malibu, and at the same time, help Chevy help autism.
http://www.chevrolet.com/autismspeaks/
In addition to accessing the virtual test drive through autismspeaks.org, consumers may access the Help Chevy Help Autism icon to take a virtual test drive during April via the General Motors website (gm.com), the Chevrolet website (chevy.com), the XM Satellite Radio website (xmradio.com), the OnStar website (onstar.com) and nearly 4, 000 Chevrolet dealer websites.

http://www.mystreetrace.com/YolandaTeach me how to do this, Internet stuff
2008-03-24T21:07:00.000-07:00As usual, I was up poking around on the internet. I stumbled upon this site that teaches the basics of internet marketing without all of the cost. This is the site we are all looking for. The creator is in the United Kingdom. The site is like a big classroom. It charges a one time fee of $77. This is the best money I have ever spent. It includes 12 private label review websites already set up for you to use. Yesterday, I told you about Search Engine Blaster. I was planning to promote these websites so I went to the site just to get the free stuff. Then I started reading. It is really a quality site. I like it so much because it teaches you from start to finish in an easy way. This course is all about giving you a thorough working knowledge of how to make money from the Internet. A lot of focus is given to practical implementation. Most people fail to get anywhere, despite having the correct knowledge and many great ideas because they fail to take action. The goal of this website is to teach you how to make money over and over again. This site teaches you how to market via:1. Pay Per Click2. Article Marketing3. Blogging4. Press Releases5. Forum Participation6. Social Bookmarking7. MySpace8. Viral Marketing9. Video Marketing
Since I am learning too, I can admit that this site has been very influential. I am going to use Google Adwords today. I will let you all know how it turns out. In the meantime, I suggest you at least consider this site. It is worth the one-time fee.These are sample 2 sites that are offered through this site for free. Let me know how you like it if you choose to sign up. I would love to hear how things turn out for you.

http://www.hotshuz.com/YolandaGet your Website Noticed with Easy Search Engine Submission
2008-03-24T08:56:00.001-07:00I've been testing an exciting new URL submission tool which is going to make my life and yours a whole lot easier. After searching for a company to submit my links and affiliates I stumbled upon the search engine blaster. It is by far the absolute best tool I can offer you as a Plug in profits subscriber. IT IS THE BEST!!! I have looked at several but they all make you pay for submitting only 1-5 URL's or web addresses. Search Engine Blaster lets you submit up to 20! This is a must have for affiliate marketers.
URL submissions to search engines always seem to take far too long, no matter how organized you are. If you're like me, you probably aren't keen to put your trust in some of the free online services which claim they'll submit your URL to thousands of sites.After all, do they ever show you a report, or confirm that you have actually been added?
When it comes to URL submissions, it's the main search engines which I care about most. However, even submitting to just the top 10 is tiresome and time-consuming if you have many pages on your site or if your own several other sites.
Better yet, search engines won't object to it, It's pre-programmed to automatically submit your web pages, in a responsible and effective manner. What's important here is that the software does NOT spam the search engines. It posts URLs in a responsible fashion, so the search engines won't see any objectionable behavior.
I found it very simple to use. Since it is an online based service, there's no complicated software to learn and nothing to download. Once you tell it what to submit, it will automatically re-submit as often as you'de like. You don't even have to log in to do it--It's all on auto-pilot!
There's another tool included with this service called the doorway page builder. Again, they made this one very easy to use. You type in some keywords and phrases about your web site, click on create, and the software will instantly generate up to 50 key word optimized doorway pages just for you (This allows search engines to list even more sites on your domain, as well as earning you a higher rank in the engines)It will even upload them directly to your website, and submit those new pages directly to the search engines as well.
All in all, I found this service to be first class. I've never seen anything else like it.Additionally, they offer a generous two-tier affiliate program, offering a 30% recurring commission on all of your sales, plus an ongoing 10% commission on anyone who signs up to be an affiliate using one of your links.
Make YOUR life a whole lot easier. Take a closer look at Search Engine Blaster now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is another site that can help you if you have gotten to the level where you are starting to build your customer list. This site is Blast Four Traffic. They will send out bulk email advertising for you. I have a small list so it is inexpensive for me to use but I like it. And it is used by large companies like Ebay and Petsmart. There is one other item that I am looking into. They offer a reseller program. So if you think you can promote a site like this you may want to go to their site and take a look. I haven't made any money here but I have used their services.
You can email millions at the click of a button.

http://www.hotshuz.com/YolandaBoost Internet Traffic With These Easy tips
2008-03-10T20:20:00.000-07:00Traffic is the most valuable tool to people who have websites. People always look to traffic, by doing so, you increase your opportunity to gain more customers. Search Engine Optimization companies like http://www.submitcomfort.com/?ref=942provide article submission in order to expose your website and get links which drive traffic. They also provide Social networking this is a creative way to advertise and to get to know your customers. For example you can submit your information to Facebook, MySpace, Linked, Twitter and other similar sites to drive traffic to your website.
There are other methods available on the internet to increase traffic to your website. Pay-Per-Click (PPC ) is one method. I recommend you use this option as a last resort because it can be very costly. Using pay per click search engines gives you access to highly targeted ad words from search engines. Click Here!
Google allows you to place an advertisement which will be displayed in their search results. The amount you pay per click will determine how often and where you are ranked. Similarly, you can improve your page rank by paid text advertising.
Writing Articles is FANTASTIC way to gain FREE traffic. When other sites use your article back links are created and Google will increase your page rank which will boost your traffic. is a company that provides SEO services for an extremely reasonable price. I will warn you that their article writing is not very strong because they are in india. They do a great job submitting to blogs and to Social Networking sites. They charge a very affordable fee. You will be satisfied with their services. They also offer a service for article submission which will expose your site and get incoming links to boost traffic. Here are few other places where you can submit articles for free: http://www.submityourarticle.com/ and http://www.ezinearticles.com/. One of the best ways to get links and massive visitors to your site is through Press Releases. PRWEBDIRECT.COM. Link your press releases to your Squeeze page if you have one.
When compared to pay per click advertising which is extremely expensive but very effective, social networking is a cheap method to use content sharing with other social sites such as Wikipedia to submit your articles. Social network marketing is getting popular and growing fast. Social networking is an excellent method to boost websites traffic. Click Here!

http://www.helpfromyoga.com/YolandaHave you ever wondered who watches the online marketers?
2008-03-06T06:40:00.000-08:00Last night I was up all night long working on developing my business. I got to bed at about 4am. As I worked on my marketing campaigns I wondered who polices all of the marketers out there. I wrote an article yesterday about blogging for dollars and another about being paid to do surveys. There are so many programs and get rich quick websites out there how do you know who to go to and who to stay away from. I found a site that does just this. http://www.wahwatchdog.org/go/14952Everyone you know must read this if they are thinking about getting into the affiliate earning cycle or doing paid surveys.
What about those "work at home" companies? Or are you afraid of purchasing a "money making system" that doesn't live up to its claims? On the other hand, maybe you've found a great product or system that deserves to be recognized.
Either way, this site houses all of the juicy details. Unlike other sites that are usually biased, these rankings are based solely on users' votes, and user reviews are authenticated and displayed unedited.http://www.wahwatchdog.org/go/14952 is THE "work at home" product and "money making system" review site. People like me and you vote on things They've tried, share feedback, post reviews, and most of all get help resolving disputes with merchants. This is one of the best sites I have found so far. It is very helpful and you can help someone else succeed. Go here to find out the REAL scoop about products or programs you may be interested in.
http://www.wahwatchdog.org/go/14952
If you find another site out there that offers this kind of service please let me know. This is the real deal. I am using it myself.

www.Buildabigbankaccount.com/optin.htmlYolandaGet Paid to write blogs and take surveys?
2008-03-05T16:23:00.000-08:00Can I get paid to write blogs and take surveys? It is the question which is asked by almost all the online surfers. A blog is a special type of website wherein one can write and post in it daily. A blog is a regularly updated journal which anyone can use to share your thoughts. The first thing you need to do is select your blogging platform. There are two kinds one is blogger and the other is Wordpress. The latter one has more scope to get more search engine traffic and in the process build a quality website. You can access this via blogger.com. There are some companies that will pay you to write a blog about a topic that offers a wide scope of interests. Click Here! To find out more about earning money through blogs.
Surveys offer those who work from home or have extra time to make a substantial income. Keep in mind that businesses spend over $7 billion a year in advertising to sell products and services to the customers. A certain portion of this budget is allotted to research and development. From time to time, these companies hire people to take surveys or participate in focus study groups to gather information about new products that they have launched or items that they want to launch in the future. If these businesses hire professional research firms to do the work it will cost significantly more than paying $1 - $25 to complete an online survey. Click Here!
A high quality paid survey program will usually offer survey opportunities that pay up to $75, and focus group companies that pay up to $250. It will also have a large database of current paid survey opportunities that is regularly updated, this allows the programs members to maximize their earnings consistently over a long period of time. Unfortunately we found that over 85% of all paid online survey programs failed to meet these requirements, and were graded poor quality as a result. Some of the main problems we came across during our research were:
• Many free survey programs aren't really free and you don't find out until you've spent 10 minutes filling out all of their information.
• Survey programs that give you a free membership, then ask you to pay for an UPGRADED membership, or threaten to cancel your membership.
• Outdated information, this is the most common problem we found.
• Links leading you to other survey sites that then ask you for more money. Usually asking you to join other programs.
• No user help section, no FAQ database, no refund policy, and no customer support. There are many online websites who have already got lists of good companies, where one can take survey and earn money. So these reputable online agencies are reliable and you will not be scammed.
Sign in as many research companies as possible by filling out your profile. Surveys have a wide range of products. The survey will have many questions on the particular product, the completion time, the estimated salary for finishing the same and contact information, mailing address and then click on the submit button and send the survey. There are certain websites who provide software to speed up the process. For getting these surveys one has to pay a price for the program which is decent and affordable.
There are many online websites who have already have lists of good companies, where you can take surveys and blog to earn money. When you blog for cash there will be requirements and they will ask you to fill out some basic information. You can earn up to about $400 per month blogging. There is no fee associated with blogging.
Paid Surveys will require that you sign in by filling out your profile. Surveys have a wide range of products. The survey will have many questions on the particular product, the completion time, the estimated salary for finishing the survey, contact information, mailing address and then click on the submit button and send the survey. There are certain websites who provide software to speed up the process. To get these surveys one has to pay a price for the program which is normally affordable.

2008-02-24T20:24:00.000-08:00The awesome thing about the internet is that it is a wealth of money waiting to be made by people like me and you.

It seems like a hard concept to understand but the first thing you need is content. You don't want to write all of this stuff yourself. You do want to be able to make $1000 per day. I met Anik and Matt Bacak at an internet conference and the rest is history. You can grow your own business. All you need to do is take the same class I took. I advise in every blog that you research BEFORE you buy. Anik is great. There are some out there that I think are pretty darn awful. I will talk more about those tomorrow. This is the class that taught me how a 20 year old made $10, 000 in 60 days. http://www.amclassroom.com/cmd.php?af=732901

There are many websites out there that will tell you that they will set up a website for free and most of them WILL NOT! They will set up a site for you for free AT FIRST! Then they will suck you in and get you to buy a lot of stuff. DON'T DO IT. Okay, I did it already and some of them do work. I have tried Rich Jerk, Affiliate X and Plug In Profits. I currently like Plug In Profits the best. You will spend a ton of money if you follow the day by day instructions. I did it.

Let SBI! turn you into a high-earning affiliate champion.
These sites will help you build an affiliate marketing business. Affiliate marketing is the newest craze in internet marketing. Many popular businesses will pay you a nice commission for sending people to their website and if someone purchases you receive a small commission. The commissions can range from $1.00-$80.00 per purchase. This can be dangerous because you will often want to advertise EVERYTHING and you just can't if you do then you will do your readers or customers a disservice and no one will buy a thing on your website. There is another way to get into business online and this is by selling actual products. You can create an EBAY store or you can be a reseller on Godaddy.
Start selling online today! Open a storefront on eBay!
Wild Wild West Domains s the GoDaddy Domain Reseller site.
Once you create your website you want to start advertising products like on your Ebay Store or affiliates as with your advertising site. One of the best things to do which is FREE. Is to create your blog. We talked about this a bit before but I didn't go into detail. Go to Blogger.com and create your blog. A blog is a place where you share your thoughts about a subject that has meaning to you. The blog will offer a forum for people who share your interests. You should develop a blog about something that really interests you. Then you want to find advertisers. The easiest way to find a large group of companies that will pay you is to go to www.CJ.COM You are an advertiser. An advertiser, also known as a merchant or retailer, is a Web site or company that sells a product or service online, accepts payments and fulfills orders. Advertisers partner with publishers to help promote their products and services. Publishers place advertisers' ads, text links, or product links on their Web sites or include them in e-mail campaigns and search listings in exchange for commissions on leads or sales. Here you should CLICK the orange arrow and scroll down to the bottom of the page. The last paragraph says If you are interested in applying for a Commission Junction advertiser account, please click here to view the Application Process page.
Click there and then you will go to another page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page again and go to the last paragraph and you will see a line that says CLICK HERE. This will begin your enrollment process. Commission Junction is one of the largest companies out now that manage affiliate programs for businesses. They payout $$$Millions yearly to people like you and me. So make sure you get started today with your free blog. You can place these links right on your blog and begin earning money immediately.
So in summary. How to make money online:
1. Have an Affiliate Website Created For You
2. Develop an E-commerce Site Via Ebay or as a Reseller
3. Create a FREE Blog and place advertisements on it from places like Commission Junction.
In my next blog we will talk about how to get people to increase traffic so that many people are reading your blog. You want people to read your blog so you need to do a bit of advertising.

Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"
These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you are cut out for this kind of work.
The fact is, building a home-based business isn't
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they are nuts.
More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They are not sure its worth the
investment of time and money, and they are scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.
I'm sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21140
For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn't
happen without effort. It didn't happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn't happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.
I'm my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you're prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

This blog offers you a review of a few of the services I used in the past. I hope you find success in your endeavors. Here are a few Web-Hosts that offer reasonable hosting prices and cheap domain names.
Web Hosts offer a service where their "server" stores your web site's HTML files, and graphics (generally for a monthly fee). Their server allows your web site to be accessed / viewed over the Internet. They may or may not offer web name registration. The sites I have listed offer both and are extremely easy to use. Remember your website needs a name. This is called the "domain name or the web address" For example my web address is www.buildabigbankaccount.com.
Here are a few Web Hosting Companies that I have used and really liked. There is one being promote by the "Rich Jerk". I have found that the items referenced on that site have not been reliable. So be careful not to spend your dollars on this site.
There are a lot of Web Hosting companies to choose from so you should do your homework.There is a link below for a company called SITE SELL. They offer you a complete course along with hosting and domain registration. They are a one stop shop. I bought there $300.00 development package and was so excited at first. Then they made me do some work and I got tired very fast so I canceled my subscription. They were sooooo nice to me. They gave me a complete refund immediately for all of my money. As you can see I spend a lot of time and money doing this. I kept the domain and the program for about 20 days before I changed my mind. I highly recommend them for the do-it-yourself-er. Their link is below.
Then there is my absolute favorite. GODADDY There link is below as well. They have this cool system call CASH PARKING and they have a ton of sales with great discounts and coupons all of the time. Cash parking is for those of us who have to buy more than one domain names because we can't decide which is best. If and when people somehow find there way to your domain. Godaddy offers those lucky customers tons of products advertised there AND if someone buys something you get a commission check. I got one for $50.00 last month and to get cash parking it costs you around $36 for the year not included the cost of the domain name. They also offer a turnkey web program where you can start selling items immediately. Did I mention that they are y favorite. They also have representatives that will walk you through everything you need to know. I have 37 domain names registered through their site.
I have also used Midphase once. They didn't overwhelm me with customer service. They were direct clear and to the point. They would be my number 5 pick.
I have never used Blue host personally but several friends swear that they are the best.
I know its a short list but I can't and won't endorse everybody. Now that you have your domain name and your website host let's keep going so we can get you to earn you "MBA" MASSIVE BANK ACCOUNT!
Here is one thought that I want to offer you. When you find a really great domain name BUY IT IMMEDIATELY. Believe me there is another person out there who thinks like you do and if they get to your name first then you are out of luck. A catchy Domain name can be worth a lot of money to you. On godaddy's site you can see a list of premiere sellers. Imagine that popular domain name could have been yours. So when you develop that million dollar domain name remember me and BUY IT IMMEDIATELY. Did I say you should not hesitate one second? You should buy the domain name now. When you make your first million dollars remember me too. I accept tips (smile)
Here are some other places you may want to research. There are many opportunities to choose from my list is not all inclusive but it gives you a place to start. Feel free to leave comments and let me know what you found out!
Develop your website with care and great content,
Yolanda SpearmanYolandaHow to Create a Domain Name (Web Address)
2008-02-19T15:02:00.000-08:00Many people have asked me, "How did you come up with your website name." This is not an easy answer. Creating a web address can be your key to success or failure. The reason you want an excellent name is MARKETING. Your name is what people will remember and the easier it is the more traffic you will receive and more traffic equals more money. In regular life this would be foot traffic. You need people to physically come past your store and you can calculate that if 100 people walk past your store you may get 3-4% of those people to come in and buy. Imagine this with your website. You have to get visitors. So you need to get your name out there. Think of a popular site that you remember because its so easy. I go to ABOUT.COM often because they have such good reference information. Look how easy it is to remember. These are the keys to creating a good domain name.1. You want it to be easy to remember
2. It should have simple spelling
3. Choose popular words to increase your SEO. (Search Engine Optimization) This is how search engines find your website. See my next blog for a detail definition of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) You want a name that has key words in it so that you will have a better ranking on search engines like yahoo or google.
4. Don't make it too long. ( I need to take my own advice on that one) The longer the name is the more likely you are to have spelling errors and people may end up on someone else's site while looking for yours which could equal lost sales.
On my last blog, I gave you a few places to go to register your domain names and get web site hosting. Here I will post the top links for domain name registration.
World's Largest Registrar - GoDaddy.com
Free Domain With $6.95 Hosting Package

I like to choose more than one name when I am looking to build a website. First you may be thinking. I want to build a website but I have no idea what I want it to be about. For those of you at the very very beginning "the brain storming point", I would suggest to you that you start with a blog. Blogging is free and you can make money doing it. I highly recommend blogger.com. It is through google and it is easy to link to YouTube and Gmail (google mail which is also free). As you can see on my site I have links to advertisements. If you buy something from those ads then I make a commission. You can do the same thing with an account on blogger.com. Just sign up and off you go.
Back to the Domain names.....so if you are like my cousin Cynthia Dunbar, she designs beautiful jewelry. She may want to try to register a name like customjewelry.com or gemsbydesign.com or maybe cuteandclassy.com. I know another young lady who sells candles, soaps and other personal products that smell really awesome. She chose her website name to be http://www.divinedivafragrance.com/
This is also the name of her business. I am in the process of developing a site for ladies that wear large size shoes. So I have a site called www.ladieswithbigfeet.com you can go see it while it is being developed. I hope you are understanding how this works. You can be more particular about your domain name by doing a key word search first to see which words are most popular on the web. If you are not sure what search terms to bid on? Enter a term related to your site and the keyword selector will show you:
Related searches that include your term
Estimated number of times that term was searched on last month If you want to do this then go here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
.
Picking your domain name is fun. I suggest you start off with about 6-10 names that you really like then search to see if they are available. Have your credit card ready.
GET YOUR OWN NAME WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE. My husbands name is Mark Spearman and he could not buy his own name because someone else has it. BUY YOUR DOMAIN NAME TODAY. At the very least buy your own name. DON'T WAIT. There are people all over the world who are out there thinking just like you and your perfect name could be gone in a blink of an eye if you wait.
I will be back tomorrow with a discussion on creating your blog. I suggest you buy your domain name for 1 year even if you don't have the site yet. If you are serious this will help you get going. Create your blog for free to start building content for your website. Remember information is just as important as products. We will talk more about all of this later in the week.
All you need is God's Favor and Purpose and you will succeed.
