[shelli4018] 1:04 pm: Nice to meet you, Kim.
[KimEmerson] 1:05 pm: who is godslovingladyoffaith...phew that is one long handle! took me ten minutes to type it
[shelli4018] 1:05 pm: Any of you still affected by rejection? I'm slowly getting over the fear of being told no.
[KimEmerson] 1:05 pm: :D
[Ginger Marks] 1:05 pm: What types of marketing does everybody do on the net?
[Ginger Marks] 1:05 pm: No's are wonderful! Bring them on!!1
[claudia] 1:05 pm: i don't think you ever really get over hearing "no", but dolearn to press on in time
[Ginger Marks] 1:05 pm: The more no's you get the closer you are to a YES!
[claudia] 1:05 pm: good one ginger
[KimEmerson] 1:06 pm: I think people are affected by rejection always. but you have to remember prospects are not rejecting YOU. what you have is just something they are not interested in at that moment.
[shelli4018] 1:06 pm: Sometimes it stops me cold! It's been an learning experience.
[Ginger Marks] 1:06 pm: right Kim
[claudia] 1:06 pm: i remember someone sharing that you purposely go out to see how many no's you will get...trick your mind
[Eula] 1:06 pm: Sometimes a no today becomes a yes tomorrow
[Ginger Marks] 1:06 pm: right Eula
[KimEmerson] 1:06 pm: Ginger is right. it takes 7 times on average for someone to finally say yes, even if the WANT what you have
[claudia] 1:07 pm: sounds negative to do that, but is kinda fun
[Ginger Marks] 1:07 pm: the trick is not to quit before you get a yes
[KimEmerson] 1:07 pm: Claudia, I love that one.!
[Ginger Marks] 1:07 pm: good advice Claudia
[Eula] 1:07 pm: Never give up, Never surrender! LOL
[shelli4018] 1:07 pm: Knowing when to push, back off or give up takes some skill. I've been talking to a prospect for weeks and he still hasn't pulled the trigger!
[Ginger Marks] 1:07 pm: :D Eula
[shelli4018] 1:08 pm: But he will.
[KimEmerson] 1:08 pm: Shelli, in Think and grow rich he talks about a guy that quit digging 3 feet from gold. it taught the guy to never quit again
[Eula] 1:08 pm: its from a movie, but its so appropriate at times
[Ginger Marks] 1:08 pm: try not to be obnoxious. Be friendly and listen to what he is saying.
[KimEmerson] 1:08 pm: Shelli, it's all about them. you are just getting to know them, making a new friend
[Ginger Marks] 1:09 pm: usually they will tell you what will make them buy if you just listen
[Eula] 1:09 pm: The worse thing you can ever do is push too hard
[shelli4018] 1:09 pm: I have the book! I'm trying to put it's priciples into practice.
[Ginger Marks] 1:09 pm: that is a good book.
[KimEmerson] 1:09 pm: Shelli! woo hoo! you will never regret it, one of the best LOA books out there
[claudia] 1:09 pm: like that ginger, listening so important
[shelli4018] 1:09 pm: I pushed initially. Now we're becoming friends.
[Ginger Marks] 1:09 pm: I also like the Littlest Angel
[KimEmerson] 1:10 pm: yes, I agree listening is what it's ALL about.
[Ginger Marks] 1:10 pm: remember, it is all about relationship building.
[shelli4018] 1:10 pm: Just finished Og Mandino's Greatest Salesman On Earth. It's great too.
[KimEmerson] 1:10 pm: I always look at talking with a prospect as if I am just making a new friend.
[Ginger Marks] 1:10 pm: They must know, like and trust you before they will buy.
[Eula] 1:10 pm: yes
[Ginger Marks] 1:10 pm: Yes, that is another of Ogs
[Ginger Marks] 1:11 pm: he is a great model
[claudia] 1:11 pm: that is good, kim, and in reality you could be/are!
[shelli4018] 1:11 pm: Really? I'll look for that book next time I'm at the bookstore.
[Ginger Marks] 1:11 pm: Shelli, you were asking about the LOA. Kim is the Queen of LOA
[KimEmerson] 1:12 pm: YES Claudia! it works and I make new friends daily
[Ginger Marks] 1:12 pm: You won't be sorry Shelli

[Ginger Marks] 1:33 pm: i hope
[Ginger Marks] 1:33 pm: lol
[KimEmerson] 1:33 pm: did I go somewhere? LWOL!
[claudia] 1:33 pm: sign up with plugboards, link under my plugboard at the page above
[Betty Lynch] 1:34 pm: Why do you want to have a plugboard on your website?
[claudia] 1:34 pm: I watch and see who puts "plugs" on mine, then visit theirs and add mine
[Under the Waterfall]: Sandy Morgan has entered at 1:34 pm
[KimEmerson] 1:34 pm: so you have somewhere to hang your extra little papers
[claudia] 1:34 pm: It's just another way to bring visitors...not necessary, but some really like them.
[KimEmerson] 1:34 pm: hi Sandy!
[Ginger Marks] 1:34 pm: Sandy! Welcome
[KimEmerson] 1:34 pm: where did Eula go?
[Eula] 1:35 pm: I'm lurking in the shadows lol
[Ginger Marks] 1:35 pm: Ok, are you ready for a reason to plug?
[Betty Lynch] 1:35 pm: yes
[claudia] 1:35 pm: yeh, help ginger
[Sandy Morgan] 1:35 pm: hi kim
[Ginger Marks] 1:35 pm: it increases traffic which gives you higher SEO ranking. And sometimes people actually CLICK your button
[Sandy Morgan] 1:35 pm: ty
[Betty Lynch] 1:36 pm: But I've heard they are difficult to set up
[claudia] 1:36 pm: yes, they do, i can see that through the service I use for my counters...where the clicks come from
[Ginger Marks] 1:36 pm: you should check back with places you put your button up on often to be sure it is still there.
[KimEmerson] 1:37 pm: LOL Eula!
[claudia] 1:37 pm: i haven't been as good about keeping up with my buttons, this is a VERY good reminder, thanks
[Ginger Marks] 1:37 pm: Also, if they don't have a reciprocal link on your site you are deemed an expert. Which also gives you higher ranking
[KimEmerson] 1:37 pm: yes ready
[Ginger Marks] 1:37 pm: verrry easy, Betty
[Amanda Hamm] 1:37 pm: not difficult , there are many easy to use scripts at http://www.plugboard.org
[Sandy Morgan] 1:37 pm: what r we talking about
[Ginger Marks] 1:37 pm: yw, claudia
[Eula] 1:37 pm: lol Hiya Kim
[Ginger Marks] 1:37 pm: Sandy, plugboard advertising and marketing in general
[claudia] 1:38 pm: hmmmmm, i don't geth that last one, Kim
[claudia] 1:38 pm: i mean ginger
[Sandy Morgan] 1:38 pm: ty
[claudia] 1:38 pm: it's good if they don't have a reciprical link?
[Betty Lynch] 1:38 pm: I don't either Ginger
[KimEmerson] 1:39 pm: Ginger, some of us are not internet potty trained, you should know that after working with me. LWOL!
[Amanda Hamm] 1:39 pm: Plugging isn't like standard link exchanges
[claudia] 1:39 pm: hahaha Kim
[Ginger Marks] 1:39 pm: ok, look at it this way, you go put your link on someones site. The Search Engine doesn't find their link on your site, sooo they think you are more important than the site you are listed on.
[Betty Lynch] 1:39 pm: Oh Kim, I've missed your humor this week!
[Ginger Marks] 1:39 pm: lolol
[Sandy Morgan] 1:39 pm: and me
[claudia] 1:39 pm: oh wow, so reciprical links are not a good thing?
[KimEmerson] 1:40 pm: Betty! hehe You need to read my topic of the week on WIN and get some positive energy flowing back to you
[Ginger Marks] 1:40 pm: right Amanda, but even still if you have a lot of plugs out there they are links. The Robots can't tell the difference between image links and text links, all they see are links
[Betty Lynch] 1:41 pm: I need lots of positive energy Kim!
[Ginger Marks] 1:41 pm: and be sure to name your images that are linking images with your keywords.
[claudia] 1:41 pm: wow ginger, thank you so much, i'm going to get plugging again.
[KimEmerson] 1:41 pm: oh gadfreeeeeeeeee. Luke, go back, it's a trap!
[Ginger Marks] 1:41 pm: :D
[claudia] 1:41 pm: i don't know a lot about how those Robots work :-)
[Betty Lynch] 1:41 pm: Ginger, I thought text links were better than image links
[Amanda Hamm] 1:41 pm: right, but the key thing is that you don't exchange links, you want them to put your link on their site so the search engines say ok this is a really important site and raise your rankings
[Ginger Marks] 1:41 pm: right
[Ginger Marks] 1:42 pm: that is the expert status I was talking about, Amanda
[claudia] 1:42 pm: so i should take my note off about not posting a link unless they post one to mine? or no?
[Ginger Marks] 1:42 pm: Kim, you are on a roll!!!!
[claudia] 1:43 pm: or whatever it is i said, that made no sense..haha
[Amanda Hamm] 1:43 pm: rofl
[Ginger Marks] 1:43 pm: for you it is better if they do a reciprocal
[Sandy Morgan] 1:43 pm: rolling kim
[KimEmerson] 1:44 pm: :roll:
[Ginger Marks] 1:44 pm: ok any more questions about plugboards?
[KimEmerson] 1:44 pm: yes
[Ginger Marks] 1:44 pm: ?
[Betty Lynch] 1:44 pm: How do you make those tiny buttons?
[Sandy Morgan] 1:44 pm: ur referring to self made sites
[KimEmerson] 1:44 pm: will the one on the wall in my office convert to a url easily, or do i need software?
[claudia] 1:44 pm: got it, i just checked my own page and what is said is okay..haha! really must revisit the plugboard
[Amanda Hamm] 1:44 pm: you can do them on your own or hire someone to do them
[claudia] 1:44 pm: wendy made mine
[claudia] 1:45 pm: ginger does them too i think?
[Amanda Hamm] 1:45 pm: The most common button size that is used for plugboards is 88x31
[Ginger Marks] 1:45 pm: I make them too
[Amanda Hamm] 1:45 pm: I do too:)
[Betty Lynch] 1:45 pm: Amanda, what? haha
[claudia] 1:45 pm: oh my so many talented people!
[Betty Lynch] 1:45 pm: 88x31 means nothing to me. haha
[Ginger Marks] 1:45 pm: very tiny, be sure they are readable
[claudia] 1:46 pm: size, pixels i think
[Ginger Marks] 1:46 pm: also, flat is better than rotating, REALLY!
[Amanda Hamm] 1:46 pm: itsie bitsie tinie wenie
[Betty Lynch] 1:46 pm: That I understand. haha
[KimEmerson] 1:46 pm: Betty, don't worry, I am with you
[Ginger Marks] 1:46 pm: Amanda! :D
[claudia] 1:46 pm: haha amanda.
[claudia] 1:46 pm: yellow polka dot bikini
[Betty Lynch] 1:47 pm: Thank you Kim! I technical challenged person!
[Sandy Morgan] 1:47 pm: yellow pokadot bikini
[Amanda Hamm] 1:47 pm: it's about the size of a piece of Dentine gum
[KimEmerson] 1:47 pm: :sail: I just sail away when it goes over my head
[Ginger Marks] 1:47 pm: any other questions?
[Sandy Morgan] 1:47 pm: lol
[KimEmerson] 1:47 pm: YES!
[claudia] 1:47 pm: wow, great minds think alike haha
[KimEmerson] 1:47 pm: I have one!
[Betty Lynch] 1:47 pm: Kim, stop and pick me up!
[Ginger Marks] 1:47 pm: ?
[KimEmerson] 1:47 pm: can the plugboard on my wall become a url or do I need software?
[Betty Lynch] 1:48 pm: :clap:
[Eula] 1:48 pm: lol
[KimEmerson] 1:48 pm: <-grabbing Betty by the foot
[Amanda Hamm] 1:48 pm: you are too funny!:roll:
[KimEmerson] 1:48 pm: sailing over the room
[claudia] 1:48 pm: it's html they give you, plugboard does, kim...is that what you're asking?
[Ginger Marks] 1:48 pm: lol, it is just a matter of grabbing some code and adding it to your site.
[Sandy Morgan] 1:48 pm: ditto
[Betty Lynch] 1:48 pm: Easy for you Ginger! I love it!!
[Ginger Marks] 1:48 pm: Your website designer or maintance person can do it for you if you don't know how.
[claudia] 1:48 pm: so easy it's unbewevabew
[KimEmerson] 1:49 pm: Claudia, I am just being an idiot cuz I have no clue. When that happens I put on my tap shoes and make people laugh. Then I don't feel stupid or left out
[Ginger Marks] 1:49 pm: That'd be me Betty, for you. LOL
[claudia] 1:49 pm: hahahahahah kim!!!
[KimEmerson] 1:49 pm: :D
[Ginger Marks] 1:49 pm: Kim, you are anything but STUPID!
[Amanda Hamm] 1:49 pm: and you can add plugboards to blogs, mySpace, yahoo 360, your ryze page and tons more places if you don't want it on your website
[claudia] 1:49 pm: you have a great "web desiger" at your service there, so you're set!
[Ginger Marks] 1:50 pm: :D TY Claudia
[claudia] 1:50 pm: wow amanda, good thought!
[Ginger Marks] 1:50 pm: Good Amanda
[Betty Lynch] 1:50 pm: Oh on Ryze pages? Do the robots catch that?
[KimEmerson] 1:50 pm: I didn't say I WAS stupid, I siad then I don't FEEL stupid. hehehehe
[Sandy Morgan] 1:50 pm: lol
[Amanda Hamm] 1:50 pm: just make sure that somewhere on the page you have the plugboard you link to your own website, so you can draw in traffic
[Ginger Marks] 1:50 pm: Ryze is a different animal all together. They don't allow the necessary code.
[Betty Lynch] 1:51 pm: What about Blogger?
[Amanda Hamm] 1:51 pm: Gigner I thought they did?
[claudia] 1:51 pm: oh my amanda, you are just a fountain of knowledge!!
[Under the Waterfall]: Godslovingladyoffaith has left at 1:51 pm
[KimEmerson] 1:51 pm: they do, i have seen plugboards there
[Ginger Marks] 1:51 pm: depends on if you use JavaScript or not
[Amanda Hamm] 1:51 pm: I don't use Blogger so couldn't say definitely but I am sure you can
[Ginger Marks] 1:51 pm: didn't want to go there Amanda since there are those that have no clue.
[Amanda Hamm] 1:52 pm: roflmbo
[KimEmerson] 1:52 pm: how did they get a plugboard on RYZE? I have seen them on there
[Betty Lynch] 1:52 pm: Okay Ginger I heard that. haha
[KimEmerson] 1:52 pm: Betty, come on over here under the table and we will play by ourselves. LOL
[Ginger Marks] 1:52 pm: :D
[Amanda Hamm] 1:52 pm: it's a matter of what source you use, long drawn out explanation that Ginger didn't want to do, but I mentioned it, lol
[Ginger Marks] 1:52 pm: careful ladies!
[Betty Lynch] 1:53 pm: I'm on my way Kimmeee!
[KimEmerson] 1:53 pm: HARDY HAR
[Ginger Marks] 1:53 pm: ok so on to other marketing ways.
[Ginger Marks] 1:53 pm: any other suggestions?
[claudia] 1:53 pm: we'll ask you on WIN and you can give your drawn out explanation :-)
[Ginger Marks] 1:53 pm: Who is writing articles?
[KimEmerson] 1:53 pm: LOL Claudia!
[Amanda Hamm] 1:53 pm: I do:)
[Betty Lynch] 1:53 pm: Me!Me!Me!

[Ginger Marks] 1:53 pm: no one will understand, Claudie
[Amanda Hamm] 1:54 pm: they aren't the bestest in the world but they are articles

[KimEmerson] 1:54 pm: Ginger, I am so laughing at the way you have been typing Claudia today!
[KimEmerson] 1:54 pm: Eula! LWOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[claudia] 1:54 pm: i've heard worse...hahaha
[KimEmerson] 1:55 pm: because I know how to write
[Betty Lynch] 1:55 pm: :roll:
[Amanda Hamm] 1:55 pm: to spotlight our products or services?
[Ginger Marks] 1:55 pm: my new nickname for her. I hope she doesn't mind
[Sandy Morgan] 1:55 pm: lol kim
[Amanda Hamm] 1:55 pm: to tell people that we have brains?
[Betty Lynch] 1:55 pm: Bring people to out websites?
[KimEmerson] 1:55 pm: to position us as EXPERTS that stand out in a field. I mean in OUR field
[Amanda Hamm] 1:55 pm: because we are bored to death?
[Ginger Marks] 1:55 pm: lolol, Kim
[Amanda Hamm] 1:56 pm: ok, someone answer, lol
[Betty Lynch] 1:56 pm: haha Amanda!
[KimEmerson] 1:56 pm: Amanda! LOL
[claudia] 1:56 pm: are you "allowed" to write about specific products in articles, or better to just write about something, and get attention, then have link to product or services?
[Ginger Marks] 1:56 pm: Amanda!
[Sandy Morgan] 1:56 pm: to get known
[KimEmerson] 1:56 pm: I answered, and it was a good answer too! lol
[Amanda Hamm] 1:56 pm: whoooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooo
[Sandy Morgan] 1:56 pm: rah
[claudia] 1:57 pm: haha
[KimEmerson] 1:57 pm: to position ourselves as experts that people want to do biz with. they want to walk with writers. being an author makes you an expert
[Amanda Hamm] 1:57 pm: does it really make you an expert?
[KimEmerson] 1:57 pm: amanda, nope, but humans think that.
[Sandy Morgan] 1:57 pm: or somethin....
[Ginger Marks] 1:58 pm: positions yourself as one
[KimEmerson] 1:58 pm: Personally I think that if you want to write about something you better become an expert first
[Ginger Marks] 1:58 pm: also, as your artice gets picked up and used your link goes out along with it...and we all know the benefit of that
[KimEmerson] 1:58 pm: cus people will want you to be
[claudia] 1:58 pm: my question is going away...i really want to know:-)
[KimEmerson] 1:59 pm: and Ginger is correct,
[Ginger Marks] 1:59 pm: ?
[KimEmerson] 1:59 pm: when you post articles on the web it helps your page ranking
[claudia] 1:59 pm: are you "allowed" to write about specific
products in articles, or better to just write about something, and
get attention, then have link to product or services?
[KimEmerson] 1:59 pm: claudia, yes, in an article you can, in a press release you must be more careful
[Betty Lynch] 2:00 pm: Is it a good idea to have all your articles on your website?
[KimEmerson] 2:00 pm: betty, no
[claudia] 2:00 pm: oh wow, thanks kim, i almost would have thought the opposite.
[Ginger Marks] 2:00 pm: you can do it either way Claudie, you just have to choose what subject it will go under wherever you post it
[Betty Lynch] 2:00 pm: Why not?
[claudia] 2:00 pm: okay, thank you!
[Ginger Marks] 2:00 pm: Kim, tell why not.
[Ginger Marks] 2:00 pm: please
[Sandy Morgan] 2:01 pm: where do u post
[KimEmerson] 2:01 pm: something about search engines and the robots don't like it, you have to be careful and i don't know why exactly.
[Amanda Hamm] 2:01 pm: I don't use any of my articles on my website
[Amanda Hamm] 2:01 pm: I use other peoples
[Ginger Marks] 2:01 pm: and why is that Amanda?
[KimEmerson] 2:01 pm: Claudia, press release MUST be news worthy. articles can be on whatever the heck yyou want them to be on
[Amanda Hamm] 2:01 pm: duplicate content is what I was told
[KimEmerson] 2:02 pm: amanda, yes, that is what they call it
[Amanda Hamm] 2:02 pm: sorta like advertising, you don't put your banner on your own site
[Ginger Marks] 2:02 pm: thank you ladies
[Betty Lynch] 2:02 pm: How can it be duplicate content when it is on your website once?
[KimEmerson] 2:02 pm: i just know it is not a good practice and don't know why, but i don't want to do it and don't care why. LOL
[KimEmerson] 2:02 pm: betty, cuz it's out on the web other places
[claudia] 2:03 pm: okay, kim..great!
[Amanda Hamm] 2:03 pm: duplicate content is when you have something on your site and someone else has it on theirs, the search engines say you aren't original
[Ginger Marks] 2:03 pm: Guess who is presenting the topic next week?
[Ginger Marks] 2:03 pm: Anyone know?
[KimEmerson] 2:03 pm: wow, I can't change gears that fast. LOL
