And many of these webmasters realize the importance of targeting the highest paying keywords. They research high paying keywords by using lists which identify the search terms which pay the most per click.

A: Develop that powerful sphere of influence starting now! When you meet someone with whom you feel a mutually beneficial, give and take, win/win relationship would be appropriate, then go ahead and begin to cultivate it. Remember, there is an entire system and methodology behind doing this; it’s not a matter of simply getting their business card and putting it in your Rolodex or contact management file. Another thing that the young entrepreneur or professional can do is to make it a point to meet already-successful people and learn from them. Yes, you can cultivate relationships with these people. Just remember, it’s up to you to creatively find ways to “add value” to their lives as your part of cultivating the relationship. The key . . . begin now!

Seeking Those Affordable Real Estate
Real estate prices have sky rocketed in recent years all over the country, and in most states the average home price is higher than the median income in some areas. Every buyer wants to find affordable real estate, whether it is a new or used home, a foreclosed property, or an estate being sold through probate. No one wants to be house poor, which is why now more than ever, there is a great demand for properties that won’t break the bank for the buyers. Interest rates are higher now than last summer for instance, which is also a contributing factor facing sellers and buyers alike.Higher interest rates raise the total amount of the loan, and variable rate mortgages can be risky for some consumers. It is always beneficial to consult the professionals at lending institutions, as well as real estate agents,

Q: How did you get started in business?

A: My background was as a radio sportscaster, which was my dream growing up. I very quickly moved into doing television news, which probably was not a good move because the passion for news wasn’t there, nor was the skill. Never had that “nose for news” nor did I care to. Today, at the age of 48 and as involved politically as I am things would probably be different but, at the time, it just wasn’t there.

I “graduated” into sales and, realizing I was also not particularly good at that, began reading and studying all I could about it. It was a fascinating study and, following the system of the successful people I learned from at the time, such as Tom Hopkins and Zig Ziglar, my sales career really took off. Eventually I became Sales Manager of a company, which I found to be very rewarding, as well.

Regarding speaking and writing, it evolved, at first, just because other people were asking what I did that resulted in my sales success. Then, I began selling the tapes (back then, there were no such thing as CDs and DVDs) for another speaker, who was very well established. Eventually, I devised my own program with a focus on Networking and referrals, which were two strengths of mine, once I had learned how to go about it correctly. I wrote the book on Endless Referrals simply as a way of “positioning” myself more effectively and profitably as a speaker. The first edition of ER was written back in 1993 and I’ve updated it twice since then.

Now, with several books and more audio programs and other informational products, and having joined in business a couple of years ago with a man by the name of Thom Scott, who is an expert on all forms of Direct Response and other forms of marketing, we are shifting our business model from a speaker who writes, to marketers of information products . . . who also happen to speak.

Q: What have been the most significant developments in networking and referral based businesses in the last few years?

A: Well, I certainly believe the principles of networking and referral-based business will always remain the same, and that is, “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.” We always need to first keep in mind that “Networking” is far different from what most people think it is. It’s not glad-handing people while shoving a business card in their face and fast-talking about why they should be doing business with you. Instead, it is simply the cultivating of mutually beneficial, give and take, win/win relationships.

Of course, with technology being as prolific as it has become, there are certainly more ways to enter into these types of relationships. It’s important – very important, however, to always realize that people do business with, and refer business to, those PEOPLE they know, like and trust, not those COMPUTERS they know, like and trust. It’s always about the relationship first, about adding value first, about – what Wallace Wattles, author of the 1915 classic, “The Science of Getting Rich” called – “adding increase” to the lives of others.

What technology has done is provided so many more outlets, ways and means of accomplishing this. There are people with whom I’ve had successful joint ventures while never having met them personally . . . and hardly even speaking with them on the phone. That couldn’t have happened “back in the day.”

Q: What do you see as the future trends in networking and referral based businesses?

A: While I believe the relationship will remain king, I believe that technology will continue to provide us with more ways of networking effectively, efficiently and profitably.

Q: Should I set up one of these ‘blogs’ I keep hearing about?

A: Yes, by all means, yes! And, the good news is that there is plenty of good information from knowledgeable sources on how to set up and operate a successful blog.
