Not You Typical Business Opportunity

A brand new online community is about to launch which will allow you to make money by performing simple online tasks. And the best part is you don’t have to spend a dime to be part of this community

The first thing you need to know and understand is that THIS IS NOT AN MLM!

What if you got paid a few cents to even a few dollars for doing simple online tasks like:

Joining an email list

Liking a Facebook fan page

Sharing a Facebook post

Liking a Facebook post

Visiting a website

Providing feedback about a website or a video

Providing feedback about a logo

Answering a few short questions

(Just to name a few) Well now you can!

Join Here: http://hive.pe/a4

This is also NOT a "traditional online biz opp" where the only way you make money is by "sponsoring" others or selling a product or service. NEITHER one of those things are REQUIRED here to earn! And that's NOT just some marketing scheme and a "line" we use to "get you in". It's 100% true.

HOWEVER…as you will understand shortly…the more people you personally refer to the system, the more potential earnings you will make!

Just imagine this…let's say on any given day there are say 100 tasks available for you and other members to complete to get paid on.

Let's say the average reward for those tasks is just $.25! (25 cents!)

That would mean that on any given day, if you completed those tasks you would earn roughly $25. For every task you complete there is a 10% fee taken from the potential reward. HOWEVER, we (the company) do not KEEP all 10% of that fee. Instead, we share it with YOU (Those who are helping our community grow) and this is how we do it.

Out of the $25 in rewards you earned by completing those 100 tasks…there would be $2.50 held back in referral fees. GetPaidSocial shares 40% of those referral fees with the DIRECT referrer who brought that person into the system, which in this case would be $1. The company then keeps $1.50 (and this is how the company makes money, in case you were wondering)

Let's say you have just 10 people directly referred to you, and let's say that each of those 10 people completed the 100 tasks available that day just like you did.

This means that you would be paid a $1 referral bonus for each of those 10 people, which would mean an ADDITIONAL $10 in earnings for that day ON TOP of the $22.50 YOU MADE by completing the tasks as well!

That's a total of $32.50 you made in a single day!

Simply do that every day and BOOM…

You've earned $975 for the month!

What would an additional $975 a month mean to you in your life?

Here's the best part…

You haven't spent a single penny and you didn't have to "sponsor" or "recruit" your friends and family into some "biz opp" or MLM opportunity that they have to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars in before you can make anything.

We have over 1,000 members in our community right now…if only just 10% of them post tasks for others to complete every single day at an average reward of just $.25…you're enabling every member here, including yourself to make the kind of money I just explained…PLUS you're growing your list, you're building your social following, you're getting leads and you're making more money in your primary business.

Talk about a HUGE WIN/WIN right? smiley

When you join us I'm encouraging you to go out there and share this with EVERYONE you possible can…because I'll leave you with this thought…

What if you personally referred not 10 people, but 100, 200, 300 or MORE?

The more you personally refer…the more bonuses you will earn!

AND I will tell you…the average reward will more than likely be MORE than $.25! What if the average reward was $.50 or $1 or even $5?

Join us and help our community grow.  Join Here: http://hive.pe/a4

Do You Have A Website? Make Sure Users Can Find It

Search engine optimization (also known as SEO) is a critical part of running any website that is looking to generate more traffic. It is also considered an art that is difficult to master because there are so many different search engines using different search algorithms that you have to account for. However, there are tips and tricks that can help make search engine optimization easier to understand and use. This article aims to share some of these.

Do not go with a shady search engine optimization company. If you were to do so and the internet search engines found out, it would be very bad for your page. Many internet search engines have internal filters that denote any illegal activity. This means one should play by the rules and make sure they employ a company that does the same thing.

The links you are posting now should obviously be keyword-specific with the intention of catering to your market, but you also need to refresh these links at least once a month. Make sure you're linking new keywords in order to cater to others within your market that are also searching related terms.

Before you start your search engine optimization project, be sure to spend some time doing keyword research. There are free versions of a keyword checker on the internet that you can use if you are on a tight budget. If you are not, you can purchase some really great options on the internet as well.

If you have good content and you've written about several different topics, you might as well even create a separate domain for each of those topics. The biggest problem with search engines is that they only list one link per domain or maybe two if you're lucky. Having more domains means you get more exposure on search engine results.

Once you understand the technique for searching the web with specific words, you may want to find specific peer-reviewed journals or purely academic results. There are multiple search engines that allow this scholarly feature. With this feature you will not have to waste your time looking through everything that is not scholarly.

To increase the search engine rankings of products on a commerce website, take advantage of the newly released Schema protocol. This protocol, which was developed by major search engines Google, Bing, and Yahoo, helps search engines to better understand the products you are selling. All three search engines have stated that they will give greater weight to sites that make use of this protocol.

Interact with other websites and other people to get the best inbound links to your site. Inbound links are like references or testimonials. The fact that other, reputable sites in your niche are willing to provide you with a link speaks well for you, gives your site credibility, and encourages targeted users to trust you.

While effective use of search engine optimization can be difficult and at times seem elusive, it does not mean it is completely out of your reach. Hopefully, this article has proven that it is something that you can master and use effectively. When search engine optimization is properly employed, your website will start to see unbelievable amounts of traffic!

Why is blogging an important tool for Internet Marketers?

Those who are new to Internet Marketing, may wonder, "Do I need to blog?" or "If I need to blog, how often should I post?" The reasons may vary greatly from person to person, as well as the frequency of blog posts.

It could be a simple desire to sell stuff online, or maybe just a need to express yourself and communicate with others. For me, I think it is much more than that. I would have to call on a Latin phrase to describe why I write, and why I blog. I have a condition called cacoethes scribendi. It is not medical, but loosely translated it means "an insatiable desire to write."

I have done technical writing for nearly 20 years. I love to describe technical subjects in layman's terms that anyone can understand. For an example, see an article I wrote quite a while ago here, VoIP Demystified. I have been a regular blogger since 2007, and I have been using WordPress for much of that time.

To see the first blog I set-up see NJ Writer's Group on blogger. When I look back over the past 8 years, it is really quite amazing how the Internet and especially content writing for the web has changed over that time. It is equally amazing that despite massive changes in Internet technology, some things remain the same.  

My desire to write and to blog have only increased with each passing year. I love to write about Internet Marketing subjects, and if I can simplify or make someone's journey on that path a little easier, I am very happy to do that.

I am a founding member of MarketHive, a one-of-a-kind social network for entrepreneurs.

I have experience in digital publishing, and can help authors to self-publish.

I run a local Internet marketing agency called Goldfinch Digital Publishing.  I help local businesses take advantage of online marketing methods to increase sales by effectively finding and converting prospects into customers.  Services include everything from website design, to local SEO, social media, branding, and reputation management.

I can also create an entire automated marketing system similar those used by big businesses for a fraction of the cost of large-scale automation systems.

It is really not even an issue anymore that most all businesses need some sort of website.  Even if it just a one-page basic informational site, it is a given that even very small businesses should have a web presence.  If you are marketing any kind of product or service on the Internet, a website is a practical necessity.

I would recommend a WordPress blog that is hosted on a hosting service independent from WordPress, in other words, a website called a "self-hosted" website, that uses an independent hosting provider, separate from your domain name registrar.

There are probably hundreds of hosting providers to count on the Internet.  Prices and options vary widely.  I personally use a hosting company that offers a Virtual Private Server, but that is kind of an advanced web hosting system that beginning marketers would not need.  If you are interested in a VPS, visit this link.  Advantages of a VPS

Perhaps one of the strongest reasons to post on a blog on a regular basis is so that your website can be found on Google.  Regular posts on your blog help your blog to rank on Google and the other search engines.  This is too big a topic to cover here, but fresh content on your blog not only can satisfy the needs of readers, and subscribers to your blog, but it is an important factor in SEO, or Search Engine Optimization.  

For more information on these and other related topics, visit Goldfinch Digital Publishing.

A landing page will cost from $20-200 per month using the likes of Instapage or Unbounce, to around $1250 or upwards for a custom design and don't forget that you will also need a hosting company to host the page, together with a domain name to host your website.

Business Investigation

Quite often when people suggest you look at "XYZ Business" these items are not mentioned, however as you can see they can be a costly overhead.

Other Marketing Tools you need to consider when running your business

  • Keyword Research Tools
  • Campaign Management — This is often forgotten when you first start a business
  • URL short codes
  • WYSIWYG editor
  • WordPress Plugin — The Plugin, so to speak “moves” your blog posts in Market Hive to the outside world to your domain and delivers more power and control to your posts.

The Market Hive WordPress Plugins then offer custom functions and features so that each user can tailor their site to their specific needs. Note that the WordPress Plugin acts as an additional content system to your main site.

This is powerful because your domain containing the posts is now been put into the traditional “Search Engine Arena” whereas — prior to the WordPress Plugin your content was maybe just in the social arena.

Knowledge Forums

Most people are quite adapt at typing a question into their browsers and then surfing the web for answers, this is quick and easy, however how much are you willing to put your trust in answers supplied by strangers.

Normally it’s better to do your own research, but it can help to get to gather the thoughts of other marketers on forum sites like "Warrior Forum" or "WHAM," who willing share their experience with those just entering the market place.

Using Social Media for your business

There are hundreds of social media sites covering every subject under the sun, however you are best to concentrate in the beginning on the big four, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, LinkedIn and YouTube.

Now Facebook for me is a more about family but it does provide a huge marketing potential which cannot be ignored. LinkedIn on the other hand is more serious and business orientated. Video is certainly on the rise and is becoming an essential element in marketing your business a short 3 minute video being the equivalent of a short 500-600 word blog post.

Question: How does Google find and rank your website?

searching pages on the internetQuestion: How does Google find and rank your website?

Answer: A crawler follows links on the web, when it finds new or revised links in anyone’s web site it will put the link into an index. The Google algorithm investigates this index and decides which links in the index match best with any given search query.

The web crawler is a piece of software, complicated in structure and best considered as an “information gatherer” often called a spider. This spider software searches a website following every string, otherwise called links. When the crawler finds new or revised strings ( or links), it saves this information in its memory (the index).

The index is best considered as a massive database in which every spider (crawler) saves its information. When a user wants to find a link in this massive database (index), the user gets help from an algorithm that decides which link in the index best fits the given search query. This is called ranking.

How does Google rankings affect MarketHive?

The internet has provided alternative methods for locating, purchasing and researching products, brands and services.

An Internet Search Engine is the number one way of finding your website. This method accounts for over 70% of all the traffic your web site receives and tools in the Market Hive Software Suite will assist you in the possibility of a person's search landing on your website real estate.

One of the best ways is to build up traffic is to build link popularity and link reputation. Make as many keyword relevant links as you can using the Market Hive Blogging System and constructing press releases alerting people about your products and services.

Brief summary of the Market Hive Marketing System.

No matter how you plan to market your business on the Internet, here are a couple of essential Market Hive tools you need to know about.

A landing or capture page on which you can place video and or text to explain about your product and capture a potential customers contact details, so that you can communicate with them further.

An Autoresponder which you can use to send out a series of email designed to build a relationship with your customers and answer questions they may have about you product in order that they can make a decision to purchase or provide guidance on how to get the best out of using the product.

A blog which can be used to share your knowledge of the niche market that your business is positioned in. This is your showcase if you like and is used more to write about subjects which your product resolves rather than a sales page.

The Great Blogging System in Market Hive.

Market Hive blogging systemThe Great Blogging System in Market Hive.

The Market Hive Blogging System is a fantastic suite of software aimed to make the blogging experience a rewarding outcome for anyone.

A blog is a great place to start. As a matter of fact, a Blog is probably the most powerful tool the internet can provide for anyone.

Now is the time for a brief article and some history on blogging.  

Mario’s Blog is operated by Perez Hilton — So why did he start Blogging:

Mario has always loved intrigue and who better to showcase this than well-known Hollywood celebrities. So his blogs started all about celebrity gossip. After graduation from New York University in 2000, Mario attempted to be an actor, but he ended up working as a very well learned blogger because he thinks setting up a website like this “seems easy” unlike being an actor.

He found his talent in riling up gossip and controversies about Hollywood figures and is one of the most infamous bloggers in the United States. There are actually two sides to it since he is hated by many Hollywood stars but is loved by millions of web patrons.

When Perez Hilton started blogging about celebrities it was for fun and now has one of the most viewed blogs in the world. And, Perez is very wealthy now because he wrote with passion.

I have been asked before what I was passionate about. Looking back — it was when I was working as a customer engineer with IBM and teaching electronics in higher education, Both these times I really had a true idea of what passion was.

There were always things that I liked and enjoyed. Passion was a different story. My passion has emerged itself after working and coming to terms with what I knew and what I was good at. My Passion now is to help other people achieve success in their life. Success does not always have to do with money. In fact, earning money is a direct result of being successful. Money does not create success. Success provides a “working vehicle” to earn money.

So how do we become successful?

Success is 80% mentality and 20% action. Set a goal for yourself. Ask the question; What is it that enjoy doing in my heart! Once you know what that heart felt objective is then you can then start working towards getting results.

If you pass this system up, you are missing the mark big-time! This platform is going to be huge on the internet. I have been working with the owners of this system for the past decade.

Throughout the history of the Internet it has been inevitable that as time passes online systems needed updating and MarketHive although relatively new is no exception and already being enhanced.

For example the rapid growth in mobile products and apps make it essential that all sites are mobile friendly and this omission is now being rectified.

The powerful Blogging systems of Market Hive are one of the centerpieces of MarketHive and it is not surprising that changes are being made in this area. WordPress is another world wide phenomenon and a WordPress plugin made so much sense. This a0pplication allows members of MarketHive to share their blogs and also have them posted into WordPress domains of fellow subscribers and groups.

Market Hive WordPress 1.3 Plugin

A new WYSIWYG editor has also been implemented into parts of the Market Hive sections that need it. This editor is inbuilt into Markethive in the blog section and the autoresponder section. This is powerful because you need not switch from MS word and Notepad in order to post content.

Our editing system allows for HTML entry and source code input, a paste area that allows you to paste from Word or Notepad and includes a spell checker. Your posts can now be written with the new editor.

One thing you can also do is set the spell checker to check word as you write. People who have an understanding of HTML can enter the source code from html editors simply by pasting into the Blog System as an alternative by using the source button.

For me this is real handy as I can make a document with embed code in Microsoft Expression 4 (a free program) and paste it into my Market Hive Blog post. You can enter images and YouTube frames.

The use of social media encompasses a broad range of online media types. While some might only think of a social network like Facebook there are actually several social media formats that contain significant marketing potential for online business.

Those who visit any social media site see through posts that are overtly geared toward marketing. In many cases social media consumers view this as spam even if the social network owners do not. In the end, you can lose credibility of you don't work as a meaningful contributor in a social media environment.

Social media can be presented in many different forms. Let's take a peek at a few of them.

YouTube and other similar video sites — These videos can be funny, serious, off the cuff and sometimes political in nature. You can show your business in a humorous light and allow individuals to be curious about you and your business.

Facebook and other social networks — This form of social media is popular because it draws together multiple elements of social marketing and makes them accessible to the masses of individuals that may view social networking as an online version of reality television.

Blogs — This is a form of social media if only because it does allow interactive exchanges between the blogger and the reader.

Niche Marketing — Why It Is So Important

If your website is not producing as much revenue as you would like, chances are you are guilty of not targeting your audience correctly.

Today's business environment is so competitive that a small business best bet is to focus on developing niche products where there is less competition from large firms.

Take the online book market. Amazon.com dominates the field, so smaller start-ups are wise to focus on books in specific niches. There are sites for best sellers, out of print books, used books, Oprah's Books, teen books and so on and on. Imagine a small company trying to compete with Amazon's huge inventory and variety. Then imagine that same company aiming for more depth in a much smaller field.

Another reason for niche websites is because you want to get listed in the top 100 sites on any particular search engine. By making a website based around a highly focused niche you reduce considerably the number of competitors that you have. This makes it easier to rank well in the search engines (the first 3 pages, or top 100 sites). Without a high Website ranking it is not possible to attract free search engine traffic and hence free visitors.

If you are an affiliate that thinks big and joins dozens of programs, you are in for a bit of a shock. Your site is indistinguishable from a myriad of others, no one knows it exists, and you are very lonely. Am I right?

You need to promote what you join, and it is impossible to promote that many programs effectively. You won't succeed at any of them, you will lose interest, and your business will disappear.

Instead, you need to focus on one thing that you love and create a lot of good content.

Everyone who has a website is constantly trying to improve their search engine rankings by optimizing their websites and getting inbound links etc. However one of the easiest ways is to create content that no one else has — unique content. Unique content written for an extremely focused niche market is a sure ticket to promotional success.

If your website contains your main keywords as well as a variety of related ones, used in a natural way throughout your pages, you will out perform your competition with fewer, less targeted pages. Using all these keywords throughout your pages also makes your content more interesting, rational, and satisfying. Imagine that…the question is not whether you simply occupy a niche, but how much obscure secret stuff you know about it, how much of an expert you are about it, how passionate you are about it, and if your site is interactive and fresh.

Yet another example of "build it and they will come."
