As more people are exiting the traditional “job” market – through their choice or the economy more are turning to the Internet as a source of income.  No matter the way in which others are encouraged to give you their cash – the one thing ALL Internet presences need is traffic.  What I mean by that is, an Internet presence with the best “product” in the world is no good if no one is buying it … AND even MORE important is that your product be good enough that your “customers” recommend to others about it.

When I say “product” what do I mean?  By “product” (This paragraph is the last one parens will be used to discuss products or customers) anything that you make, create, give of, do, {fill in the blank} of yourself that others (your “customers”) feel worth value enough to trade something for which YOU value (and that something does not necessarily mean cash – i.e. barter ROCKS IS “product”

So – how does one get that almighty traffic from the best targeted customers in the most efficient manner?

1 Focus –  2 Goal Setting – 3 Action Steps – 4 Follow Thru – 5 Follow Up – 6 Lessons Learned –  7 Rinse and Repeat.

… and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 … Starting at one we will build it, then work backwards if needs be:

1)    Focus:  Would you rather have some random surgery done with a machete or a precision surgical procedure done with best tool that would mend you completely once the surgery was complete?

2)    Goal Setting:  Another name for this is Mile Stones – what are the things that need to happen to reach the precision surgical procedure?  All things are possible – what is it that is the #1 Focus of this Procedure?  What needs to happen to make it so?

3)    Action Steps:  To meet the mile stones that have been set – what are the action steps that need to occur?  If you do not know the order – no problem.  Write each of the steps of 3×5 cards and they can be reordered as needed – PLUS the cards can be used for further break down of BIG jobs.   (-: This can be used for any *Focus* no matter how tiny or huge

4)    Follow Thru:  The action steps must actually be done.  When are each of the steps needing to be completed by to get the final *Count Down*?  This is a way you will be able to come up with what needs to happen when.  For each focus one will complete the time table of follow thru to the completion of that focus – BUT – that does not mean we are done …

5)    Follow Up:  Once the *Focus* has been completed – it is time to measure how it is doing.  All those best products in the world are doing no one any good if they are not doing what you had intended for them to do.  Measure – Measure – Measure … we cannot improve upon what we do not measure and one way or another everything can be measured.

6)    Lessons Learned:  This is where the measurements come to play.  If you move this dial what happens?  If I flip that switch what happens?  In the virtual world of web 2.0 it means things such as:  Sending a Tweet on Twitter, or updating your status on Facebook, are your Facebook and Twitter connected to your MySpace?  And if so what did what, where? How long did it take?  How about Forums?  Does your focus have any forums dedicated to that niche?

7)    Rinse and Repeat: Using the lessons learned we have no matter where we are or what we’ve done … you are where you are and that is a fact. Even if you do not like where you are at this time, enjoy each moment as it is and the fact you ARE in total control and can change everything … In An Instant. No Matter What.  What is your focus?  What do you want?  Decide.  Repeat is then not a rehashing of the same old same old – but rather returning to step 1 with what my focus is then.

It is ALL so very easy and I feel that is why we have made it so very hard.

You can focus and be all over the board. Let’s take me as an example oh boy … I have been on the Internet over 10 years – but I haven’t *done* anything of note (other than branding myself ~ some say as a nutcase ~ but that is fine … I love who I am and I am thankful to be so blessed … but we all are – and I digress … because I did not focus … BUT … using my lessons learned I can Rinse (make my corrections) and Repeat.  I know I have the focus factor of fairy dust … so how can I use that to my advantage?  Start at the bottom and work around to the top. {{{rinse, rinse, rinse}}}

… and …

Step One Focus:

As the world turns more into cyber space, who we are is beginning to be called our “brand” … and with this knowledge – Bad ads can bust your brand.

I was so excited this morning, I received a request to post some text based links on one of my sites.  This sounded like such a great thing   YAY!!!  My empire is awakening … but not so fast Evie … do some due diligence.  This wonder called the Internet makes it far more easier than was dare dreamed just 20 years ago.  By copy and pasting the phrase “We would be interested in purchasing advertising in the form of a text-based advert on your site.” into Google, I got MANY returns.

One of which was this blog.  Bloggers beware: Bad ads can come back to bite you – Computerworld Blogs – Mozilla Firefox.

I very much agree with Dan, when he wrote:  “My advice? Don’t do it. This is about more than getting on Google’s bad side. It’s about protecting your brand, which as we move fully into a Web-based economy will quickly become your most valuable — and most vulnerable — asset.”

As Evie the evil Evelyn and 2emc, and even just plain ol’ Evelyn Conner, my goals are simple; win-win-win+1 … because everyone CAN be a winner.  We are NOT all meant to be world class runners, pole vaulters, bike riders, etc.  We are all to be the BEST #1 WE can each as individuals be, so together we achieve EVEN more ~ We ARE all winners.  Being who I am, when I am, I am where I am to be … but … always do your due diligence, and then using the mind as an adviser ONLY … listen to your emotion Love, Gratitude, Happy … really get into it and FEEL it … Love your emotions ~ they are the human GPS.

Now the sad part in all of this though is the discovery that LinkStar apparently targets websites with little traffic … hmmm, maybe this is not sad at all … maybe this is a wondrous “line in the sand” for awesome wow wonderfilled progress to start being made ~ FAST

Being a lover of the Internet, who works on the Internet, who has the focus factor of Alice as she tries to keep up with the Rabbit I am always looking for ways to help raise my focus factor.

I discovered Brainwave Entrainment, or should I say Brainwave Entrainment discovered ME

So what is Entrainment?  Entrainment is the synchronization or bringing together of …

Brainwave Entrainments refers to the brains electrical response to rhythmic sensory stimulation, be it pulses of light or sounds. The electrical responses travel through-out the brain and these become what we see and hear. After several minutes (from what I am reading it is a MINIMUM of six minutes) of listening to the beat, the brain begins to synchronize with the sound. This synchronization is commonly referred to as the Frequency Follow Response (FFR).

Brainwaves and the mental state are extremely connected (example a 4Hz brainwave is associated with sleep, listening to 4Hz sound patterns would therefore assist in reproducing the sleep state in the brain).

By using Brainwave Entrainment sounds one can apply the same concept to nearly ALL mental states, be it creativity to focus to meditation to lucid dreaming to even weight-loss.

Check out Brainwave Entrainments here and let me know what you think. Gratitude for finding this site ~ it has helped immensely

Doing some research, and I must say I don’t do a lot on any one topic during any given sitting. I am very much like Alice in Wonderland and am forever going in many different directions at once.

… any way … I ran across an article for MoneyTree about a soft launch for their Young Entrepreneur Startup (YES) Challenge.  It sounds rather cool   YAY!!!

You can read more about it at MoneyTree Young Entrepreneur Startup (YES) Challenge

So what is so ah-ha LOA (Law of Attraction) about that? Well, if you scroll to the bottom of the article?

1. the contact person is Ms Evelyn at 03 – 7954 4514
2. I am Ms Evelyn … not this Ms Evelyn though
3. *my* number is 3
4. I love money trees
5. Money trees love warmth
6. AlphaStartUp loves Money Tree’s too (I was working on my site AlphaStartUp.com when I found this

I guess that means that the MoneyTree and the  MoneyTree Young Entrepreneur Startup (YES) Challenge get links from me

What a great post for the day

There is a book written by Ken Keyes Jr years and years and years ago.  The book was written as an illustration of a phenomenon called the 100th monkey.  The 100th Monkey a Story about Social Change. I am a firm believer (by firm believer I mean I don’t need to defend my truth ~ it is what it is, the thing speaks for it Self, don’t like your perspective? LOL!!! well, then move my dear friend )

… any way … it is my firm belief we (humanity we) stand on a precipice of evolution (we can be a part of it ~or not~ that is (y)(o)(u)(r) choice as I said before ~ it is what it is the new awareness of we being an us that is all connected is shocking to many as they become aware of it, but luckily humanity has been waking up slowly but surely over the years …

My belief … planetary awakening happens big time no later than 2012 (yea, yea, yea … December) but if we wait that long to start breathing correctly (think mother labors to bring her child into the world) we may perish as we give life to the new reality.  To those who that is their *mission* well YAY!!! but to the VAST majority it is NOT.

We were born into this reality at this time to be ready to reap abundance What … you don’t believe me just because of this economy … LOL!!! You should believe me BECAUSE of this economy … any way … it IS what it is ~ don’t like how things look from where you are, then you must move until you see what it is differently (and the *different* you are looking for contains GRAT*I*TUDE )
