<p>Okay, enough of this sappy stuff, Well, I will like to take the time to let you know about those that have inspired me online. I guess you can say I am who I am partly because of those I read about and what I watch. Feel free to visit any of these sites below, and I’d be happy to hear what you think, or have you come across these people as well?</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Blogs That Inspire Me</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li> <a href="http://www.AliBrown.com" target="_blank">AliBrown.com</a>: This go-to-gal to creating a business from starch and building an empire. She is one on the hottest ladies online right now that is creating a movement of successful women entrepreneurs online. She is one of the greatest marketing gurus I’ve ever none. The ways Ali brings people together to learn from her in a kind and living way is so awesome. My goal is to be in her Million Dollar Protégé clubs to mingle with those that are making million.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.mashable.com" target="_blank">Mashable.com</a>: Pete Cahmore is a huge inspiration to me when it comes to making money online. He has a ton of interesting and useful information on his blog, he has loads fans. He runs an open web award on his site on a regular bases and this alone brings him tons of traffic. I hope someday I will be nominated to get an award on his site, that will be so awesome.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.problogger.net/" target="_blank">Problogger.net</a>: Darren Rowse is one of the best blogging guru I&#8217;ve ever known, I’m a regular reader of his blog. All of his articles are well written and I can’t stress how important the information he provides is for those of us who do any type of writing online. He just created a fantastic eBook entitled &#8220;<a href="&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=258839&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=93249&amp;cl=11220&quot; target=&quot;ejejcsingle&quot;&gt;Click here to view more details&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">31 Days to Build a Better Blog’</a>&#8220;. It&#8217;s the exact eBook I&#8217;ve been using to grow my blog. You need to check it. It&#8217;s a short read and very informative.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.strategicprofits.com/" target="_blank">StrategicProfits.com</a>: I remember first hearing about Rich Scheren through his manifesto entitled &#8220;<a href="http://www.strategicprofits.com/manifesto/" target="_blank">Internet Business Manifesto</a>&#8220;, it was the best eBook I&#8217;ve ever read. Still date I still using the information I&#8217;ve learnt in my business. I&#8217;ve been reading his blog post for almost a year now, and every time I read them, I get so inspired to start my own online venture and design my own lifestyle. I joined their online community and learned even more about creating an online business, and without them, I would not be as successful as I am today.</li>
<li><a href="http://zenhabits.net/" target="_blank">Zenhabits.net</a>: I actually found this personal development  blog when Zen Habits. had about 4,500 readers, and now his got over 144,000 readers. He writes great content, but it’s been a true inspiration to me to see how much his blog has grown so much over a short period of time. He has recently quit his job to start blogging full-time. Awesome…frikin awesome.</li>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">I used to write down my goals each year, but it never really worked for me. I just didn&#8217;t feel really excited about my new goals. They didn&#8217;t seem to propel me in motion and so I kind of viewed them as being useless. I never really looked at them, probably because they seemed like &#8220;should&#8221; rather than &#8220;really-meaningful-wants.&#8221;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When I first started my business I started with a blog. I couldn’t believe how fast it was to have a web presence. My first blog was set up with <a href="http://www.blogger.com-/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">www.blogger.com-</span></a> it’s on <a href="http://www.joyceoladipo.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">www.JoyceOladipo.com</span></a>. It’s is so simple to setup even if you don’t know anything about technology. <a class="zem_slink" title="WordPress" rel="homepage" href="http://wordpress.org/">Wordpress</a> is also another blog that is easy to use. You can have it installed on your web server if you already have a website. By having this install on your website you can have visitors that like what you’re writing about visiting your main business website.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It Helps Build an Authoritative Status</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When you have a blog full of relevant content it helps establish you as an expert in your field, and this is important if you want prospects to do business with you. Prospects are much more likely to use your service or purchase your products if they see you as an expert in a particular topic. Give your views on the latest events in your industry, offer reviews of related items and comparisons of several items. You will be surprised about how the information you giving them can help business you authoritative status. The next time they need to buy a certain product or need help with something in that area, they will think of you first.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It Builds Your Brand</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When people link to your blog they spread the news about you. The more people hear about you, the more they will remember you and what you do. It takes an average of seven times to communicate with a prospect before they buy from you. A blog with hundreds of posts gives you the opportunity to mention your business name and ensure that your readers think of you the next time they&#8217;re looking for a particular product or service.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It Helps Build Relationship with Your Audience</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Nowadays, it could be quite difficult to build relationships with prospects because they are too many spamming out there that sometimes your email can be lost in the pile. A blog enables you to speak more freely and in a more informal and personable style than an email or web site. The more they know, like and trust you the more likely they are to visit your main site, click your links and purchase your product. When you get comments on your post it then that you know you’ve got some attention.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It Helps You Gain an Insight into Your Visitors</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is, by far, the best benefit you can obtain from a blog. When you get visitors to leave comments on your posts, you get an inside look at how they react to what you say. You can also get to know what your clients wants and needs without spending lots of money on marketing surveys and advertisements. You can also track which posts are being read more often and which one generates a greater number of clicks, emails, and much more. These are important information to help improve your marketing tactics</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It brings people “behind the scenes” of your business, making them feel connected</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You can tell your audience about what you are up too, holidays, birthday, launches, etc. One huge benefit is the ability to inform your visitors of any changes, new products, latest offers and much more. This, in turn, can lead to direct sales.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It Can Get Your Site Greater SEO (Search Engine Optimization)</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Search engine optimization is a good form of marketing online. When you make a post you can gain search engine traffic for a given keywords or search terms. Your blog offers the opportunity to promote your products and services with hundreds or even thousands of different keywords. Search engines particularly like promoting blogs because they offer a large amount of content that is updated and added to on a regular basis.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It Can Be Used As A Research Marketing Tools</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You can use a blog to pre-empt questions that clients might have. By sending clients to your blog you can gain all of the above benefits and you may reduce the amount of niggling questions that you get asked by customers. I have a session in my blog “<a href="http://beawealthyentrepreneur.com/blog/?page_id=198" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Interview with Joyce</span></a>” that helps solve any objection a prospect might have for working with me Of course.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You need to post regularly to make to have a successful blog. This content needs to be informative, accurate, and written in a way that will appeal to your readers. Every blog demands different content and by producing the right content on a regular basis will lead to great profits.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You need to fine the right time to link to at least one page on your main web site. Make sure you don’t get carried away by placing too many links or linking on your posts but if you mention a particular product, link the name of that product to the corresponding page on your site.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 9.5pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Alternatively include a paragraph at the bottom of the page that includes a link to a related resource (on your own page, or an affiliate link). If you&#8217;re using a blog to make money through affiliate links then you should be careful to only use affiliate links in a relatively small proportion of your posts.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m deeply grateful for my family and the life I live. To be honest there is nothing short of a phenomenal year for me, both personally and professionally. So many of my BIG dreams have come true, way beyond my expectations. For that, I am grateful beyond words.&nbsp; Now am living life like i mean so should you.</p>
<p>Most of the time i wonder if one can rellay have a business tht they love and acutally have a life. I guess it&#8217;s possible.</p>
<p>My life is full of gratude. Thanks for being in my life and supporting what&nbsp;I do. It&#8217;s because of you &#8216;am living my purpose.<br />
