Mental Block

Here’s why you are stuck and feeling mentally blocked…

Your brain is in learning mode…

This happens when you decide to learn as much as you can on a new fascinating field …

When you have been downloading, saving, and storing information as much as you can, it would be just normal for your brain to go on submissive mode… Your brain has to be submissive for it to receive as much incoming new information…

Thinking might also feel exhaustive when your brain gets tired of all that information barrage…

So, once you feel you’ve had enough stored knowledge whether sitting in your brain or in your hard disk –take action!

Give your brain a few days to relax then start implementing your new knowledge…

Remember you can only learn so much, and you don’t have to learn everything about the subject matter… Not even those who have a PhD can claim they’ve learned enough of their chosen field…

You only need to learn a few basics and a few advanced stuff on your subject matter, and then you should take action! You can learn more, as you move along…

You will become an expert on your field as you start using and implementing your knowledge while learning more and making mistakes along the way…

On-Page and Off-Page Site Optimization (Basic Google SEO)

On-Page Optimization may appear sneaky to some site owners and those who overdo this on their website will look spammy to Google‘s crawlers. In fact, continually overdoing on-page optimization, will actually lead to some sites being dropped of Google’s indexing.

On-page optimization includes the following SEO elements:

(Note: These may look techy, but you can always just use or install one of the many SEO plugins available in WordPress like the “SEO by Yoast” or the “all in one SEO pack”, and you can just write the content of your blog freely, and let the plugins do the on-page SEO automatically for you)

a. Page URL – Use the page’s keyword as the actual URL like “http://myblog.com/sample-title”, not some random URL like “http://myblog.com/page?vVxy”

b. Title tag – Use your page’s targeted keyword in the title. If you’re not comfortable writing your blog posts in the html view, you can just let a plugin do this for you automatically.

c. H1 tag – Always use your targeted keyword in the headline tag.

d. Meta description – This is no longer generally used for SEO, but is still considered important by some SEO experts. Just make sure your keyword is reflected in the description.

e. Keyword usage – Just use your keyword at least once in your content –be it an article or a page. Always strive to make it look natural.

f. Images – Use your keyword as the image name.

g. Site Structure – Be sure your website is easy to navigate. Do not create duplicate articles within your site. Don’t add too many flashy moving graphics in your site.

h. Internal linking – Make sure you include links within your articles that point to your other contents.

i. Site Map – You can easily use a plug in for this, called “Google xml sitemaps” or use the plug in “SEO by Yoast” as it already has a built-in site map builder.

j. Fast Page Load Time – Be sure not to put “apps” on your site that slow it down.

k. Original and Fresh Content – Original and Fresh content is an all time google’s favorite, when ranking websites.

Off-Page Optimization is generally considered, more important than on-page optimization. Most website owners find that off-page optimization contribute up to 80% of your website’s page ranking.

Off-Page Optimization is basically about building links for your site, or in layman’s terms –if your site has valuable content, other websites would like to mention your website’s page or post by showing a link on their website that points back to your website.

But since most website owners want fast results, they resort to asking other website owners to post a link in their website for a fee –this is called link buying and this is now labelled as unethical for Google, and this could result to your site being penalized and not showing in Google results.

So if you want to get quality back links to your site from other websites, you want to make sure that you always provide quality content in your site. Or you can go around ask other websites if they could post a link to your site in their content without having to pay them a fee. The best websites you can approach to ask for back links are government and educational websites since these sites are generally considered by Google as authority websites and links coming from them are considered high quality links and will greatly contribute in your SEO. Make sure too that you provide added content to their website through your link.

Here are other ways of generating links to your site:

a. Blog commenting

b. Posting in Directories

c. Posts in Social Media networks

d. Q&A sites and wikis such as Yahoo Answers, Google Groups, Wikipedia, etc.

e. Forums (Be sure to mention your site in your signature)

f. Free classified ad sites such as Craigslist and others

g. RSS feeds

Finally, people will always like to link back to your site or mention your website in their websites if you have the following content in your website:

a. Free downloadable tools and other useful software and applications

b. Free Games

c. Very controversial content

d. Original images

e. Free original e-book or reports

f. Contests (if you can afford it)

g. Word Press themes (if you can create one)

h. Fun Quizzes

i. Browser extensions (if you can build one)

The Law of Attraction (“The Secret”)

“The Secret”

(Watch full Movie and Book Slide Show below)

What if you knew you can have anything you want? What would you ask for?

To get anything you want, you have to know the secret of how to get it. The secret is the “Law of Attraction”. This Law of Attraction thing, was introduced to me by a manager of AXA Insurance –Bernard Cagasan when he lent me his CD of “The Secret”.

According to Wikipedia, the law of attraction is a metaphysical belief that “like attracts like”, that positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative physical results, respectively. According to the law of attraction, the phrase “I need more money” allows the subject to continue to “need more money”. If the subject wants to change this they would focus their thoughts on the goal (having more money) rather than the problem (needing more money). This might take the form of phrases such as “I have more money now” or “I have more money than I need.”

The law of attraction is part of the new thought movement that started in 1904 and peaked in 1928 when Napoleon Hill published The Law of Success in 16 Lessons where he repeatedly referenced The Law of Attraction. From then on, numerous “success coaches” have been referencing the law of attraction as the basis for their teachings and philosophies.

One basic premise of the law of attraction is that the mind is like a radio transmitter. Each of our thoughts generates some form of vibration that goes out to the universe and that the source of all energy in this universe, the creator, somehow responds back to this vibration. Key to this idea is gratitude. If you are thankful every day for what you have, somehow the supreme source of energy responds back by giving more. If you keep thinking of negative thoughts, somehow you attract more negative things. Therefore, based on the law of attraction, the secret to success is to keep thinking of positive things and be thankful for all these positive things everyday.

Acres of Diamonds

Pastor Russell Conwell had a vision of creating a college for the poor but deserving youngsters. He started thinking about this when some young men approached him asking he’d teach them some college courses since they can’t afford to go to college. In the next few months, Russell Conwell gave 6,000 speeches all over America, wrote the book “Acres of Diamonds”, and raised $7M to build the Temple University in 1881–The College for poor but deserving students…

The main idea of Acres of Diamonds is that one does not look elsewhere for opportunity, achievement, or fortune. The resources to achieve good things are in one’s own backyard –in one’s own brain. This idea is developed in an introductory story, told to Conwell by an Arab guide, about a man who wanted to find diamonds so badly that he sold his property and went to faraway lands in search for diamonds; the new owner of his home discovered that a rich diamond mine was located right there on the property. Conwell repeatedly said “dig in your own back-yard!”.

Historian Howard Zinn commented that the message was that anyone could be rich if he tried hard enough to dig his own greatness…
