What our Rock Stars have accomplished after taking this 3-part powerful blogging series blew me away (& I think surprised a few of them too at what they were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time!) They have new customers, are making sales from their blog, have a new level of interaction with their customers that they never had before, AND they are ranked on the 1^st page of Google – which is driving even MORE traffic to their businesses!

Here are just a few of the amazing blogs that our Rock Stars own:

Here are just a few of reviews that are coming in about this 3-cd set…

“J - Listened to your part two of the blog broadcast last night. While listening I worked on improving a few things on my new blog. You’re right that the ‘about’ page is important and will continue to put good keywords on the page. I need to go to wordtracker and find out the best keywords to include and make sure I have my linking set up properly. My new look for the blog www.photowalkstoday.com - thanks for the tips!

Every time I listen to one of your podcasts I learn something new. And last night was no different - loved that tip about keeping ‘live links’ into your eBay store. It was an ‘ah ha’ moment!

Thanks!”

“Janelle is an amazing teacher. No matter how long (or short) a time you’ve been blogging, you are guaranteed to learn something from these classes. Her focus on promoting your business stays laser sharp, so you won’t find yourself buried under technical trivia. But you will learn the right words to use as links in your posts (as always - think like a customer!), the right destination for your links, and the secret way to keep eBay links fresh even after auctions close and listings expire. Like her previous series on Profitable Keywords, this blogging series is a gold mine for anyone who owns an online business.” Dany of Ghost Leg Media

“Wow! Wonderful information, simple and easy to understand …. and it really points out the wonderful advantages to blogging. Janelle, your teaching method is VERY easy to understand….thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.”

eBay Linking Policy updated today

You talked, they listened…

***A Message from John McDonald – Links Policy News for Sellers***

Hello everyone…Back in May, I announced a number of important policy changes for sellers. One of the policies I mentioned was an update to our Links Policy which governs the types of links that can be included in a listing. Our Links Policy is intended to increase safety and preserve the buying experience.

After my announcement, we received questions and concerns from sellers about this change. At eBay Live!, our staff made it clear we would be going back to reconsider some aspects of the policy around how third-party links would be treated.

As promised, we’ve been reviewing all the different types of situations that our sellers have brought to our attention, and we’ve been meeting with additional stakeholders to understand how our policy update would impact them. After this additional research and discussion, we’ve decided to leave our Links Policy as it was before my May announcement. There will be no Links Policy updates at this time. (Please read the Links Policy for more information.)

I want to thank our sellers for your support and patience around this matter.

Sincerely,

John McDonald

Senior Director, Trust & Safety

This message was updated to clarify that the existing Links Policy published in Help prior to May will remain unchanged.

Ask them TODAY…

· Starbucks cutting 180 Seattle jobs as it trims 1,000 non-store positions nationwide

· Latest job cuts, store closures may be last jolt for Starbucks

· Starbucks posts first quarterly loss as a public company

· Starbucks chokes on its latte

· Taste of defeat for the mugs from Starbucks

Gee…and Howard still hasn’t asked me (or his other ex-customers) why we don’t spend our money there anymore. (See the previous article I wrote about this customer service/marketing issue - http://osirockstars.com/?p=479 – “Howard could have had me for $7000”).

Ask your customers today what they want, don’t want, like, don’t like, how you could do things better for THEM. It’s all about them – not you. It’s all about the people who are choosing where they spend their money, not what you want. Ask in a newsletter, post a Tweet, write a blog post and ask for comments. Don’t assume anything…your business success is at stake. ASK THEM TODAY. Go…I’m off to sit by the phone to wait for Howard’s call…

Identical items, unique listings and the new eBay search

This information was also just updated on eBay. Some interesting new policy changes. You can read the details here: http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200807.shtml#2008-07-31155905

Need Niche Marketing ideas?

Everyone always asks me how to come up with niche marketing ideas for their online business. Oh My Gosh…just look around – there are SO many!!

Here is one I found online the other day: http://www.creativecoffins.com/ - LOVE that one…would be a great idea paired with a Squidoo lens on the popular TV show Pushing Daisies.

And a video I shot last weekend of some other great niche ideas I found at the local mall - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9hbsuEW1fU

Niche ideas are everywhere. The key to finding them is to NOT look for things you like or, but to take off the box that has been created in your mind with what you are comfortable with and open up the possibilities to EVERYTHING!

“You see things and say Why? But I dream things that never were and I say Why Not?” - George Bernard Shaw
