The main post regarding the above (VIDEO Seo) is at  Life Skills Training and Curriculum .

Breaking News on Keyword Research: 4 Lessons Learned from a Keyword Expert

Hi all.

Jan Ashby here.

If you're new to keyword research, you should pay attention as I have a few Golden Nuggets of information:
Today I share with you 4 mentoring lessons I gleaned from an SEO and keyword research master. Just who am I talking about?

I'm referring to John Jarvis, an ex-construction worker turned internet marketer - he truly knows his stuff.  This Canadian gentleman has many top ten listings - one of them is "how to be first on Google".

(Click link above, for proof of his Top 10 result - use control "F" on your keyboard to do a Search for John Jarvis).

*Note: When you see his youtube video, it will say Henry Jarvis - that is him !  As of today (April 10, 2013) he is in position 7 )

The Meaningful Lessons Learned: Keyword Research

Since I was somewhat of a newbie on keyword research, I wanted to learn a lot MORE about the topic.  I found that John Jarvis was not a braggart - he truly knew many meaningful lessons, and I decided I could get a great education from him.

   

I learned about stuff like "related keywords", longtail keywords, and how to use video appropriately in my wordpress blog posts. If you are a Wordpress beginner (and especially if you're wanting to learn about video blogging and video SEO), then you too can become illuminated.

If you have a thirst for blogging and want to get started, you should visit my Free Internet Marketing training post.  It will show you how to design your blog, set up your plugins and permalink structure, how to design your Home Page, how to add video and "widgets" to your blog, and also how to get a Facebook fan page set up (plus info on Facebook groups).

Back to keyword research - I 've got some free video lessons on keyword research to share with you - here is an excellent tutorial on Related keywords .

Additionally I'd like you to check a post I made over at my Life Skills wordpress blog - it specifically DETAILS some of the best things I learned from my mentor John Jarvis, regarding keyword research - this includes doing Video seo on one's Youtube channel.

So.. this wraps it up - head over to the Life skills blog and get your great free training .

Oh, one more thing - I did a video re: How to Make money Blogging 

Until next time,

To Your Success

Using Twitter 101: Detailed Video Instruction

Today I have a new post about using Twitter in a more advanced way - creating Twitter lists, attending "Twitter Chats", and how to message people. Yes, there is a RIGHT way to do this (you have to be careful when messaging and the video instruction in my Life Skills post details this).

As you may know, you can browse different topics by inputting a keyword phrase.  If you will use the hashtag (#), then you can find all conversations that are targeting that particular keyword phrase. So you simply type the keyword (s) and place a "#" (pound sign) in front of it.

What does the hashtag do? Well, it ties the conversations of different users into one stream for you. You may start your SEARCH at search.twitter.com

To see a really GOOD Video instructional about Twitter - you can view this vid:
  

           

**Note:  At the Life Skills training page, where you'll go to FIND the video instruction, the last video on the page says "How to Use Twitter for Businesss Part 1".  Just wanted to let you know that if you want, you can find the other parts of that series on Youtube .

This article is about “social skill activities”.  So what am I going to tell you about?  Basically, the following:

• fun team building activities
• social skills games
• social skills ideas
• free social skills activities
• social skills lessons and activities

 

As a team leader, there are certain things you can do to encourage better communication and greater involvement – for example, there are SOCIAL SKILLS GAMES you can use to both lift spirits and enable improved communication.

I found a great one at Amazon called The Big Book of Team Motivating Games.  What’s nice about this instructional is that it serves as a communication tool + problem solver -  and its exercises are quick (this keeps players from getting bored !) 

 

The Solutions Focus:  A Book to Aid in Conflict Resolution

And if you’re looking for a sort of game that can

HELP with Conflict Resolution, you might look at The Solutions Focus (One reviewer said: “it makes so much sense to identify, and then DO what works“).

You can find this book @ Amazon.

Then too, there is an awe-inspiring book called “Improvisational Negotiation: A Mediator’s Stories of Conflict About Love, Money, Anger & the Strategies That Resolved Them“. It not only has wonderful stories you’ll enjoy, but it gets to .. READ MORE

Blog Monetization: What You Should Do First

Hello beginners to Wordpress..    

I created a video, with the breakdown of what a newcomer to Wordpress should do first (Step by step coverage of blog development).

There are 8 key steps covered, and the Final Step you take is the monetization of your blog.  It is very important to leave that until the end.

Dont be in a rush.  

You want to develop your blog readership, and offer plenty of things of value so that you'll BUILD up a loyal readership..

You can offer free ebooks, links to valuable blogs within your niche, and podcasts to enrich your audience. If you create a video (and you should), script it first; write it out and include bullet points 
so you'll hit the highlights and won't sound like you're just talking from a script.

Also, before you begin speaking - have a SMILE on your face.   Your video will come across much better that way.

College Preparation: Healthy Kids Articles

I certainly would think that going off to college is a heady occasion-- a possibility to know brand-new things and meet brand-new individuals. And bear in mind that (if you're a guy) you'll wish to make a great first impression on the girls! However if you're women and are reading this, well, ladies like to be organized with their storage rooms, storage bins and their apparel-- it makes it easier to "accessorize"!


In the end, whether you are a guy or a lady, it will be ultimately valuable to your studies and grades to have all these things arranged and organized. So take it to heart, and get a head start !

Also, if you have certain needs taken care of in advance, your study time won't be interrupted. So why not put a bit of time into these considerations - things like having a drink machine (or two) right in your room - a mini-frig may help ..  

Tea is fundamental to helping you wind down from hours of intense study - something along the lines of chamomille tea, or lavender tea

Fundamentally, if you take some time to become acclimated to your university's rules before you attend you'll be better off -- and why not watch some of the videos online with advice, and points of interest. You'll find out things that are required of you for College, and also the layout of the college grounds and parking lots - so you'll find out things such as whether there's a cafeteria, vending machines, and whether or not microwaves or tea kettles and coffee makers are permitted in one's dorm room.

Just pack as light as you can, as the majority of college graduates will tell you this was the main mistake they made as a freshman; if at all possible, contact your roommate to be so you can discuss the floor plan of your room, and what will be alloted to whom.  Also, try to find out rules regarding visitors, as you undoubtedly will have some at holiday breaks.

For more thoughts on Things You Need for College. visit my Healthy Kids website - which has many articles for teens, as well as kids and their families.

Good fortune be with you -

Sincerely,

Jan Ashby
