Using Facebook To Increase Sales And Your List

Using Facebook To Increase Sales And Your List By: Sandi Krakowski I recently installed a plugin on my blog and was completely blown away at the results. Opt ins increased significantly, sales increased and the amount of new friend requests that came in on Facebook nearly tripled in less than a week. This plugin allows me to be exposed to be people all over Facebook that I might never have known existed. More importantly, it connects me to people that never even knew I existed..... or my blog. This plugin takes about 15 seconds to install and activate. It is easy to use, everyone enjoys using it and gets a psychological sense of fulfillment every time they do! What more could I ask for?

The Happy Family Of Google, Facebook And WordPress

Google Just Deleted Your Site...Now What? By: Sandi Krakowski Recent changes to Google and how searches are done could bring a horrific result for some business owners online. If the desired Google standards are not adhered to one could find themselves no longer appearing in the search engines. For the last 15 years I've worked online, with a 5 year sabbatical (serious health crisis!) mid-stream. But even during that time I was a ferocious student of what was going on in the Internet world. Google, the world's largest search engine has always played a key role in the success or failure of the online business owner. Only outpaced by Facebook(studies show that Facebook outpaced the search engine giant in May of 2010) it holds the key to traffic for anyone desiring to earn an income through [...]
