JO-ANNE VANDERMEULEN “Conquer All Obstacles”

Today you will learn how to *Conquer All Obstacles*. I’m going to share a HUGE tip that will allow you to Hit Over A Hundred Social Bookmarks With Just One Click (okay…make that 3 clicks). But first, there are some VERY IMPORTANT techniques that must be in place to ensure optimized search engine success.

Have you updated your profile lately?

Search engines gobble key words or tags. The webcrawlers will snag your name and the specific topic you’re promoting as long as you’ve completed the following:

1.)    Completely filled in your profile on search engines – such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

-         Do a search at:

Google – https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount

Yahoo – http://profiles.yahoo.com/

MSN – http://cid-1beac0362174c6a6.profile.live.com/?sa=239740376

It is time others can search for you easily. Your followers can enter your name into these 3 popular search engines and discover where you are/your site location and updated content you’ve posted on your blog. Optimize the search engines. You must do the foot-work. After this, you can sit back and let the ‘feelers’ do their job.

2.)    Updated your profile in your social media networks (example: Facebook/Myspace/Linkedin/Goodreads/etc). This may seem like a lot of work, but it is well worth it. Usually, the first place your curious viewers will investigate more about you is in your profile. Take the time to post a picture, share your interests, and make sure you include links back to your main blog/website. This is the perfect place to display your book cover and short synopsis. Be inviting and encourage your viewer’s feedback.

3.)    Announce your new content – Twitter and Facebook are simple social media networks to submit a short announcement about your new post. Include the specific link so your viewers can have direct access back to your blog/website. This will be attractive on their homepage as they will be able to view the picture of yourself and the illustration you’ve chosen to publish with your article.

On other social media networks such as NING, make sure you click the RSS feed on the side widget and type in your site address. Automatically, your completed published posts will appear right on your profile page.

4.)    Social Bookmark your new published posts. First, ping/bookmark/tab/ your original published page on your blog/website. Second, go back into your social media networks and social bookmark the page again. The webcrawlers will go crazy with excitement and feature you even higher on the search engines.

Here are the 2 social bookmarks I use that saves me tons of time and energy:

1.)    http://www.pingmyblog.com/ – Copy and paste your new page into the “Blog URL box”, give your page a title, click on the bottom box that says, “Check All”, and boom…you’ve now hit over 70 social bookmark sites with just one click.

2.)    http://feedshark.brainbliss.com/ – Again go through the same procedure as above, click the “Enable Submit Button”, and then click “Submit Now – Chomp, Chomp, Chomp”, and whoala …you’ve now hit another 36 social bookmarks with basically a couple of clicks in one shot.

The more consistently you post, the more excited the webcrawlers become. Realistically, I cannot afford to dedicate all my time to blogging so I post 2 new articles with solid content per week. So where do I spend most of my time?

Do I social book mark every article on every page?

Yes. This is where I do spend my time, and it’s worth it. Going out and setting the crawlers in motion creates immediate results. My name and topic soar to the top of most search engines. (Just type in “Jo-Anne Vandermeulen” or “Conquer All Obstacles” into the search engines – Google/Yahoo/MSN – and see where I am. Am I on the first page? You bet! Heck, I may even be #1…:)).

So what’s my secret? No secret really…here’s the procedure:

1.) Create a deadly post with awesome content

2.) Send out bursts of short announcements to my friends/followers who are now fans on Facebook and Twitter.

3.) Encourage any visitors that come to the site to sign up for a FREE subscription. Automatically, new articles will show-up in their email.

My followers love it!

And you know what this mean…they will share their wealth of knowledge with others; just as I have done. They’ll tell 2 friends, and then the 2 friends will tell 2 friends, and so on, and so on, and so on.

Good luck and remember…YOU can *Conquer All Obstacles*.
