I’m going to share with you a tip to writing articles. I’m going to share with you a four step sequence that gets me in such a state almost every time. Here it is:

1. Clarity
2. Leverage
3. Confusion
4. Power

Clarity

First, I ask myself “What do I really want to get out of this, and whats stopping me right now from getting it?”. Almost every time I tell myself that I just want to write productively for six hours and enjoy doing it. Usually I find whats stopping me is I am focusing on the negatives of article writing instead of the positives. I realize that if I want to enjoy the process, I need to think of all the benefits I get from writing articles. This gets me pumped up. This means I’m ready for the next step.

Leverage

It’s not enough to realize what I want, and how to get it. I have to actually feel compelled to take action on this information. Here’s how I do it. First, I think of how painful it would be if everyday I did something I didn’t enjoy doing. I imagine how poor of a quality of life I would have if I never broke through resistance, and had a weak will. Scary! Then, I imagine how great it would be if I could work all day while having a smile on my face and feeling good about myself. I also think about how cultivating this habit will improve other areas of my life.

What I have essentially done is changed how I feel about the task at hand. I’ve deliberately thought about how bad it would be to not change my state, and how good it will be to change my state to get what I want. It’s the old pain/pleasure principle. Just doing these two steps alone will make the article writing process much easier. But let’s not just stop there.

Confusion

Obviously, I linked negative feelings to writing for 6 hours. I realized I wanted to enjoy the process instead. I realized how much pleasure I would gain from it, and how much pain I would avoid if I made it happen. But wouldn’t it be great if I completely removed the negative feelings from my mind? Yes it would. Here’s how I do it instantly. You can do the same, and you’ll find you automatically start laughing and have a smile on your face when you sit down to write your article. First, I picture myself sitting at my desk, writing my articles. Then I picture myself with clown makeup on, writing the articles. Then I create a picture of me writing the articles upside down, on the ceiling. In my mind I imagine doing cartwheels at breakneck speed, shouting out the words to an article, birds flying in the window whispering research into my ear, and any other crazy scenarios I can come up with.

Every time I do this, it makes me chuckle. I have now changed my association of sitting down and writing an article from dread to comedy. When I actually go to sit down and write the article, I am no longer thinking it will be tedious – because the silly pictures pop into my head, and makes me laugh. I have created a whole new feeling to associate with writing articles. Now there’s only one thing left to do.

Power

It’s sufficient to create confusion to laugh at the process instead of dread it. But wouldn’t it be even better if, when you sit down to write your articles, you felt powerful? Imagine what it would be like if every time you wrote an article you increased your sense of fulfillment in life?

The trick is after you have created confusion about the pain and pleasure you link to the task at hand, you can now replace it with a new, empowering alternative. I use a metaphor. I imagine that every word I write is a brick, which is building a golden pyramid. Each article presents another story on this pyramid. At the top of the pyramid I see my ideal self. Each article helps bring me closer to my ideal self. Each article is a way for me to strengthen my discipline, commitment, will power and focus. Each article also generates me money, which I can use to invest in other business opportunities, to invest in my own personal development, or just to spend on things that bring me joy in life.

Review of the Technique

First, I decide what I want to get out of writing my articles. The ability to work all day and feel happy. Next, I motivate myself to actually want to strive to achieve this, by thinking about how pleasurable it would be to do so, and how painful it would be to not do so. Then I interrupt the feelings I currently link to the process at hand, by thinking of a ridiculous and silly picture. This “unlinks” any negative feelings I would have about setting down and writing. What is left is for me to “relink” my feelings to something extremely positive, and empowering, so I feel with each article I write, I fulfill my sense of purpose.

I want you to know something. The first few times I tried doing this, it didn’t really work. That was because it was a new process I wasn’t used to. I didn’t have a “golden triangle” metaphor yet created, I wasn’t sure how to create confusion (by thinking of a funny picture), and part of me was skeptical that it would even work. But whenever I try something new, I always make a 7 day commitment. I just say, “For the next seven days, I am going to try this. I don’t care if it works or not. I am just going to do it whole heartedly for the next 7 days, and then evaluate its usefulness.” After trying this process for three days, I started getting good at it. By the end of the week, It would work for me almost every time.

eBay Sellers have available tools which can block some potential buyers from their listings. The effectiveness of each of these tools varies and it is always possible for blocked buyers to create a new eBay ID and buy from a seller and help to prevent just a few potential troublesome buyers. Sounds crazy to block away bidders from your eBay auctions? Blocking bad buyers is not a must, but it helps to smoothen your eBay transactions.

METHOD 1

Here’s how to block a bidder / buyer from bidding on your auction:

1. Login into your eBay and go to your “My eBay” page.

2. Go to My Account, then select “Site Preferences”.

3. You can see Selling Preferences option, then Buyers Requirement, click Edit.

4. In the Buyer Requirements, you can see “buyer requirements exemption list” otion and click it.

5. To set up a list of bidders/buyers who will no longer be able to bid on, or purchase, your listings you can click “Add an eBay member to my Blocked Bidder/Buyer List”.

6. You can block up to 5000 User IDs. To block a member, enter the member’s user ID and click Submit and to remove a bidder/buyer from your blocked list, just delete the User ID in the text box and click the Submit button.

METHOD 2

1. Login into your eBay and go to your “My eBay” page.

2. Go to My Account, then select “Site Preferences”.

3. You can see Selling Preferences option, then Buyers Requirement and click to edit you. Select buyer requirements Preferences.

Buyers without a PayPal account

Block buyers who don’t have a PayPal account from bidding or buying your items. And if you are willing to consider checks or money orders from bidders with good feedback, you can always exempt buyers on a case-by-case basis.

Buyers with Unpaid Item strikes

A seller can block a potential bidder who has too many unpaid item strikes. Sellers can choose the number of strikes and the number of months. This requirement can help you avoid bidders and buyers with a history of not paying for the items they have agreed to purchase.

Buyers in countries to which I don’t ship

Using this buyer requirement block is especially important if you ship domestically only. Block buyers who are registered in countries to which you don’t ship. This requirement can help you avoid buyers who agree to purchase your items without realizing you don’t ship to their location.

Buyers with policy violation reports

Sellers can block potential bidders who have violated too many of eBay’s policies such as feedback extortion. This requirement can help you block buyers who have been reported to have violated eBay policies.

Buyers with a negative feedback score

This requirement can help you avoid buyers who have received more negative than positive feedback from other eBay members bidding on your item.

Buyers who may bid on several of my items and not pay for them

Consider selecting this requirement if you are selling expensive items and don’t want to sell over a certain number to any single buyer. Learn here.

RentACoder is a place where software buyers and software coders meet to do business. RentACoder was founded and is owned by Ian Ippolito. He is the Chief Executive Officer and holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Central Florida. The offices are located in Tampa, Florida, USA.

Doing business in RentACoder is sheer simplicity. Buyers simply post their requirements on the site and coders (programmers and writers) make a bid for these requirements. The buyer hires the coder who they feel is best qualified and pays them when the job is completed. Think of RentACoder as a giant online marketplace where people with software needs find coders to meet those needs. It provides excellent opportunities for software programmers and freelance writers to put their hard-earned skills to use and earn cash. One of the marvelous things, writers can actually find work and get paid without ever leaving the comfort of their home.

How much can a coder make?

Fees vary depending on the nature and scope of the particular project. The smaller jobs can cost $20 or less while the larger jobs can pay you thousands of dollars. The sky is the limit in RentACoder. You get paid according to your skill level and your capacity and readiness to work hard and deliver the goods on time.

How do I get paid?

One of the best things about RentACoder is that they take care of the money side of your business transactions with buyers. They have a marvelous instrument called “Safe Project Escrow” which assures coders that they will be paid. Here is how it works: Let’s say a buyer selects your bid from the dozens of bids received. After approving your bid, the buyer puts the agreed upon amount in escrow, meaning the funds are automatically forwarded to the RentACoder website. Once your work is complete and the buyer approves and accepts it, the funds are released to you. Payment is usually sent a few days (two or three) after your selected payment period. There are three payment options on RentACoder:

(1) Snail Mail Check
(2) Western Union
(3) Pay Pal

How can I improve my chances of getting future work?

Put your best foot forward

When you sign up to RentACoder, there is a portion in the sign-up procedure that asks for your resume. Unfortunately, a lot of newcomers do not give enough attention to their resume. This is a major mistake. At the beginning and with no track record on the site whatsoever, your resume is one of the few things that buyers can study to assess your capability to do their job. When writing your resume, you should remember to be clear and concise. After all, you are a writer and clarity and brevity should be two of your strongest points. Don’t simply put down a laundry list of past positions and tasks you have handled in your career. Give brief descriptions to each of them, particularly about the writing aspect of that particular job.

Prepare an intriguing bid letter

Every time you make a bid for a project, you will have to write a bid letter. Make sure the first line in the bid letter catches the attention of the buyer. Make it lucrative and interesting. Another thing that buyers look for is speed and efficiency. Let the buyer know that you can tackle their particular job efficiently and quickly. Give them a firm commitment about meeting the deadline and assure them that you will be communicating with them regularly in the course of the job, if only to give them updates.

Send buyers your best samples

Although not every buyer requires coders to send samples when they bid for a project, it is always best to send them samples anyway. Your samples will give buyers an idea of how you write and whether your particular style fits their project.

At the beginning, aim low and sacrifice income

The most difficult time to get jobs on RentACoder is at the beginning when you are new to the site. That is because you are an unknown entity, with no track record on RentACoder whatsoever. You may have a glowing resume and impressive samples, but many coders want to know how you work given the parameters and conditions of RentACoder. For this reason your first priority should be getting a few jobs under your belt. Don’t disregard the small projects (small pay, small deliverables, etc.). You may also bid for the major projects but, as a newbie, your chances of getting the smaller jobs are better. Initially, your objective will be to establish a track record. Start with some simple projects that you can do easily. Don’t make the size of the payment a priority. In fact, you will be much better off if you don’t pay any attention to the payment at all. Once you have a number of projects under your belt – and potential buyers will take note of that – they are more likely to regard you favorably because you have a history of delivering the goods.

Deliver quality work

In every job you do always give the buyer your best work. There are two reasons for this. First, you make the buyer happy and increase the likelihood that they will use you again for future projects. Second, the buyer will give you a good rating after completing the job. On RentACoder, a coder’s rating is one of the main factors that buyers consider when handing out jobs.

Establish a good reputation

Aside from ratings, buyers also post comments on their coder’s work after they have completed the job. These comments are another thing that buyers look at since they convey much more than what a numerical rating can say. For instance, getting a 10 rating will tell prospective clients that you have satisfied your previous customers but the comments portion is where they will learn about your professionalism, attitude and working style.

Exhibit versatility

Since the projects on RentACoder run the gamut of practically any subject imaginable, it always pays to exhibit versatility to prospective buyers. Show them you can successfully write about a wide range of topics and that you can adapt different writing styles, be it serious, humorous, or provocative.

Meet all your deadlines

Most of the buyers on RentACoder have deadlines and they expect the coders they hire to deliver the work within the agreed-on deadline. This is a basic requirement for any professional writer. Deadlines have to be regarded as almost sacred. No one wants to hire an undependable writer. If you want to be regarded as a professional and paid like a professional, you have to act like a professional and meeting your deadlines is part of that package.

Give regular updates

In line with being a professional, freelance writers must also give their clients regular updates about how the work is progressing. Buyers will always want to know where their project stands. Most of the time, they just need to know that the writing is going smoothly and that you, the writer, will have no trouble meeting the deadline. However, they also want to know about any problems you may encounter, especially if these problems will hamper you from meeting the deadline or delivering quality work.

Be honest

As a professional writer, never assume to know what the buyer wants if you are unsure about it. If you are not clear about something, ask. Don’t go ahead and write about something if you are not absolutely sure about what your buyer expects. If you do and you are wrong, the buyer may ask you to rewrite the project all over again.

Make suggestions

Making suggestions tells the buyer that you have given their work some serious thought and they will appreciate the gesture.

Go the extra mile

This is a general rule for success in virtually every human endeavor. Go the extra mile and deliver more than what is expected. This does not mean writing more articles than the buyer wants. What it does mean is proofreading your work and putting in the extra time it takes to make necessary revisions. Do everything you can to insure that the work you submit is impeccable and represents your best work.

The best way to look at your business blog is to see it as both a marketing tool and a relationship building activity, which a decided preference given to relationships first and marketing second. You can promote your business on your blog and your readers will be responsive to your offers when they believe that you have approached them as a compatriot, a fellow member of their community. If you set out to be a guru, you probably won’t be received as one. But if you set out to share top notch resources and opinions naturally and consistently, you may soon be received as a thought leader. Let it come naturally. Some ideas you can post on your blog look like this:

• Share industry news.
• Professional accolades.
• Answer frequently asked pre-sales questions.
• Your products and services.
• Brag about a client’s accomplishments.
• Share articles and statistics.
• Comment on business trends.
• Display your knowledge of industry history
• Share text or audio interviews with experts your market is interested in.

Some very successful bloggers post several times a day and some post just a few times a week. The more you blog, the more you’ll bring yourself back to reader’s minds so be sensitive to that. Don’t come back to the forefront of their thoughts with a boring post or they’ll think you’re boring! If youre blogging about your products and services and inviting readers to subscribe to your mailing list, your blog will consistently add to your bottom line. It can also be used to build a second stream of income through the promotion of affiliate programs. Unless you have a very diverse business, it isn’t possible to provide everything your market needs directly. There will be opportunities to recommend other products and services. If you can find an appropriate vendor who offers a percentage or flat fee commission for referrals, go for it!

Post recommendations when you discover them and also create a page on your blog where you update a list of common recommendations. Blog experts encourage you be transparent about your affiliate links and let your readers know that you will earn a commission if they act on your recommendation. You can mention this with every recommend or you can create a blanket disclosure policy statement, post it on a page and link to it on your side bar. If the recommendation is targeted your readers won’t mind and they will appreciate your honesty. Keep your ‘second stream’ posts in an appropriate ratio with your other posts or your readers will grow weary of them.

In order to be a great blogger, you have to leave your blog on a regular basis and go out to visit other people’s blogs. Search for blogs on similar topics and read recent posts. If you have something useful to add or you want to give them a quick kudos, leave a comment. In most cases you’ll be given space to share your own blog URL when you leave your remarks. Add your favorite blogs to your blog roll which is a list of links on your sidebar. Some of these bloggers will return the favor. You should take every opportunity to share the link to your blog. Add a link to your main page and include the URL in your email signature. If you’re active on Social Networking sites, many of them ask for your blog URL. If you find a blogger that you find really interesting you could invite them to be a guest blogger on your blog.

This means that they write a full post that you share in their name on your blog. They may invite you to be a guest blogger on their blog in return, but if they do not – be patient. The blog love will come back to you. Another way to share readers is to initiate a cross blog conversation where you carry on a one on one conversation, almost as if you were emailing each other privately, only you post the letters on your blogs so that readers have to follow both blogs in order to catch both sides of the story. Depending on your market and surrounding online community there are some other fun ways to cooperate with other bloggers through blog carnivals and cooperatives but there are many types of businesses that would not be served well through participation in these projects so use your best judgment.

The key to understanding how to make Yahoo! Answers work for you lies in creating a profitable set of answers for people to review. Making sure every contribution stays within the Community Guidelines will always be a part of the process, and it’s important that you learn how to work within each niche community that you participate in. It will be useless, for example, to post in groups and provide feedback on items that are not relevant to your business.

The objective is to provide a valuable response to the person asking the question that will not only encourage them to listen to you and possibly visit your site, but also give other users a chance to see what you are promoting. For the best results, keep in mind the following key steps:

• Read other responses and prompts carefully; look for details that you can elaborate on
• Provide supportive arguments and references, not just your opinion. Make sure you are including references and sources as you need them
• Quote other blogs or websites accurately and appropriately; give credit to the right party! • Search for balanced replies
• Refrain from attacking people, and always provide quality, positive messages and posts Earning a respectable position on Yahoo! Answers takes time, and you won’t get ahead by posting unrelated items and topics on a subject. You’ll want to spend a significant amount of time narrowing down your niche, and find relevant topics to work within. After creating some valuable responses and posting them to the site, just wait for other users to find you. When they see your active and valuable participation, they will be more likely to review your information themselves. As a Yahoo! Answers participant, you will start to earn respect from other community members which in turn will give you more freedom to answer questions on an ongoing basis.

Do you know what design issues can hurt a websites profitability now you just need to know what features increase conversions and sales, as well as favor with the search engines. Heres what well built highly profitable websites all have in common:

Contact Us Page – The webpage will need to have a contact us page. This isnt just an email address at the bottom of the webpage. A contact us page is a page that has an actual email form that you can quickly use to contact the support. Its also a bonus if the website offers a telephone number, fax number, or a mailing address, but dont expect this because many websites dont offer telephone numbers for privacy issues.

Website Security – Everyone wants to be certain that they are not going to fall into an online scam or become a victim of identity theft. Websites that go out of their way to ensure online security sell a lot better than websites that dont have certificates that display their protection. Please note that if youre a website owner and you want one of these certificates, you can’t simply take a picture of it and display it on your website, these security images cost an upwards of $1,000 per year apiece. All websites with valid security certificates have a picture showing that their site is secure with a valid link that gives more information about their sites security.

Money Back Guarantee – Websites with money back guarantees sell many times better than websites that dont offer money back guarantees. All ClickBank products have money back guarantee and ClickBank websites that dont display this are missing out on a lot of sales.

First, let me just say that Smart Pricing was a pretty smart move, especial for advertisers. The principle is simple: before Smart Pricing, advertisers paid the price they had bid for each click their ad received on a website, regardless of whether that click resulted in a sale. The result was that some advertisers were receiving large numbers of clicks for which they were paying large sums of money but were seeing only a low return on that investment (ROI). Not surprisingly, they were drifting away to other ad distributors, particularly Yahoo!, in the search for visitors who wouldnt just click but buy too.

To improve advertisers ROI (and win them back from Yahoo!), Google lowered the price of ads on sites that tend to give advertisers few sales, even if they give them large numbers of clicks. To put it another way, the same ad can now cost different amounts when it appears on different sites. And of course, that same ad will pay publishers different amounts too. Before Smart Pricing, publishers had focused solely on attracting as many clicks as possible. With Smart Pricing, a site with a high CTR can still earn less than a site with a low CTR.

So how does Google measure an advertisers conversion rate and what can publishers do to increase their conversion rates to ensure their ad rates remain high?

This is where things get tricky. Google is playing its cards pretty close to its chest when it comes to the methods it uses to calculate Smart Pricing and even measure ROI.

What Google Has Said About Smart Pricing:

- The price of an ad is influenced by a number of different factors. Those factors can include: the bid price; the quality of the ad; competition from other ads in the same field; the location of the ad as part of a marketing campaign; “and other advertiser fluctuations.”

- The ad price is not affected by the clickthrough rate. Sending advertisers large numbers of clicks will not increase the bid price. (That doesnt mean that CTR isnt important at all for your revenues; its just not important in determining the amount you receive for the click.)

- Content Is King. Google makes it pretty clear that sites that will benefit most from AdSense are those that create compelling content for interested users. They also emphasize the importance of bringing targeted traffic to look at that content. Those are two different factors which together create a site with loyal, appreciative users. Just the sort of thing that every serious webmaster wants.

How does Google judge the quality of an ad?

- Smart Pricing is calculated across an AdSense account. So if you have a number of different sites covering a range of different topics and one of them delivers a low ROI, all of your ad prices may be lowered.

- Smart Pricing is evaluated weekly. If you believe that an ad is delivering a low ROI, you can remove it from your site and you should see higher ad prices within a week.

- Smart pricing is tracked with a 30-day cookie. Users dont have to convert immediately into a sale (or whatever will count as a conversion) for you to benefit. They can think about it for a month and youll still get the benefit.

- Image ads are affected by smart pricing. Few serious publishers use image ads except when theyre receiving CPM campaigns. Was this a reference to ads in low locations receiving lower rates?

- Prices may be reduced even below an advertisers minimum bid. So looking up the bid prices for targeted keywords wont help you very much; if your ROI is low, your rates could be lower than the minimum quoted.

- Conversions accounts are tracked by advertisers opting into AdWords Conversion Tracking. But we still dont know what Google is tracking or how its making calculations with its results.

Strategies To Benefit From Smart Pricing

The challenge for publishers trying to keep their ad rates high is that there no way to know exactly how many of your clicks are converting into sales for your advertisers. You cant even tell what would count as a sale for the different advertisers youre promoting. The best you can do is keep track of your clicks and your revenues, and make sure that they rise and fall at the same rates. If following your stats was always important, Smart Pricing has made it absolutely vital. Theres little point in spending hours trying to increase your CTR if the value of your clicks is dropping like a rock. So what should you do if you notice that your income is dropping but your

CTR rate remains the same?

The first thing you should do is protect yourself. Because one site with a low ROI can affect all the sites in your account, dividing your sites between different accounts would prevent all of your revenues falling if one site underperforms. Officially, thats a breach of TOS, so you cant really do it But I dont see why two different sites cant be owned by two spouses. If you own more than two sites though.

Next, if you suspect that one page has a low ROI, try removing the AdSense code from that page, wait a week and see if you can spot an improvement in your ad prices. If theres no improvement, replace the code and try taking the code from a different page. You want to find the page thats poisoning your earnings and keep AdSense ads off it until you can bring in the kind of traffic that suits your advertisers.

And thats where youre most likely to find the underperforming pages. The pages that are most likely to have the greatest conversion rates for advertisers are those that have the most loyal following. The closer the connection between your site and the interests of your visitors the more likely they are to click on your ads and buy when they click.

So its also a good idea to create niche sites that appeal to niche audiences, rather than general sites that bring in audiences interested in a bunch of different things. Those sorts of users will also only have a vague interest in some of the things on your site and could lower your conversion rate.

You might have a blog, for example, in which you discussed your interests in… oh, cats, computer, games and the movies of celebrities. That would bring in users with three different kinds of interests and three different kinds of ads. But a cat-loving user who clicks on an ad for celebrities DVDs is less likely to actually buy than a celebrity fan. Your conversion rate would drop and the value of every ad you promote would fall too.

But if you created three separate blogs, one for each of your interests, you would receive fewer false clicks, and a higher rate of conversion. Ultimately then, the ideal strategy is as always to create good content that attracts genuinely interested users.
