This is a very interesting and important topic.  What does your business depend on?  A lot of people think that a new business depends upon the owner or the creator.  Well, it does at the very begining but for a business to achieve real long term success, the business needs to depend upon systems. 

I put together a short video to explain this more.

I hope that you see the importance of having systems for your business.  Now, if you want to have a small business, you know, just a couple of hundred dollars every month, you might not need to do anything.  But if you want to really create success, you will need to have systems. 

If you have a bookkeeper, you will need a system to manage that person plus how you get all the financial stuff to them.  That is a system. 

If you have someone that does some of your marketing, you will need to generate a system to get the content to them that you want them to market.  You will also need to have a system to communicate with that person or company.

If you hire an employee, you will need many systems around them in the way of communicating with them and having them stay productive.  If they don’t work at the same location as you do, how will you manage the time that they work? 

These are all things that you will need to create systems for if you want real long term business success. 

I hope that you have found this usefull.  If you have, please share this by hitting the “retweet” button below and leave me a comment below.  I always enjoy reading what you have to say. 

Talk to you soon.

I wanted to share something with you that has made a major difference on the resulst that I have gotten for my busienss.  It’s called Website Optimizer.  I am not sure if you have heard of this before but it is soemthing that is very useful and powerful for any sort of online marketing. 

Think of it this way.  You have a website on the net and your goal with the site is to sell some sort of a product.  So you have your sales page all set up and you feel that it’s perfect.  So you go out ther and you are marketing that site to sell the product for you.  Low and behold, you sell some of your product from the site.  (That is what normally happens, right???)

But if we sit back and say, I am spending this much time and/or money to get people to come to my site, how can I maximize the traffic that the page gets.

This is were Website Optimizer is perfect. 

What this tool lets you do is split test your site.  Any site.  It does not matter what kind of site or the purpose of the site.  All you need to do is create a alternate version of your sales page.  Then you set up Website Optimizer to do the work for you. 

I grabed a tutorial from Google about Website Optimizer so take a look.  This tutorial is all about how to do a basic A/B test.  Check it out.

Do you now understand the power of Website Optimizer.  You can spit test any single page that you have on the net so that you are getting the best possible results that you can. 

I have used this to take one of my landing pages from converting at 2.78% to 14.29%.  That is a huge increase.  That ment that for every 100 people that came to that page, I was getting 11.51 more people to become a lead.  That is crazy. 

Needless to say you need to check this tool out if you are not already using it.  And the best part of all of this is that it is FREE.  Does not cost a penny to use. 

This is the link if you want to go and check it out.  http://www.Google.com/WebsiteOptimizer.  it is really worth your time to take a look.  It c=can really make a big difference on your business. 

To Your Success.

Setting up your WordPress.org blog is so easy with Fantastico.  That is what we will be doing today in part 3 of this WordPress.org training as well as a bit of a walkthrough of your WordPress.org back office. 

If you are just coming into this now, here it is from the start of the blog training so that you can go through it all and not miss any steps.  http://stevendownward.com/wordpress-blog-domain-hosting/

So check out the video and follow along as we get your blog up and running using the wonderful tool called Fantastico.

This is truly where the real fun begins.  Now that we have our blog set up we can start to customize it and turn it into something that is your own.  In the next training we will be getting into the layout and the design of your wordpress.org blog. 

We are very close to having it completely up and running so that you can start marketing it, branding yourself, and generating an income from it.  So important in building a successful online business. 

Talk to you later.

PS: Blogs can truly be a powerful tool on the internet.  Once we have one set up, there is no end to what we can do with it.  I would love to hear what you are going to be using your blog for.  Is a branding blog, a sales blog, or just a way of sharing your life?  I would love to hear about it.  Just let me know in the comment section below.

PSS: Here is Part 4 of this WordPress.org blog training series. http://stevendownward.com/wordpress-org-theme/

This is the second part in this series for walking you through how to set up your own wordpress.org blog.  If you have not seen the first part yet you can check it out here:  http://stevendownward.com/wordpress-blog-domain-hosting/

In this part we are going to be disussing something called Nameservers.  So click the play button and see this training.

So like I said, this is a bit of a depature from setting up the blog because when you get your hosting from Host Gator they get you to set up your primary domain.  But I do feel that this is something that is very important because you still need to know some of the steps that we talked about.  Also, if you want to do anything else online, understanding how to move a nameserver is totally important. 

So in the next part, we will get into how to put the blog on to your hosted domain.  This is so cool because very shortly, you are going to have your own central hub when all of your branding will originate.  So much fun.

Talk to you later.
