Google is the number 1 search engine and if your business is not listed on Google it’s like NOT being in the largest online phonebook in the world. It’s vitally important to claim your Google business listing since more people are doing a local search when looking for a product or service close to their home. Google Places for business is a way to get your business found in the Google local search results. This includes both Google Search and Google Maps and it’s shocking but most business owners don’t even have a Google business listing.

All you need to do is open a free Google gmail account and you’ll have instant access to all of Google’s free services along with being in the Google business directory.

Once you’ve done this very simple task go to Google Places and claim your business listing. If your business doesn’t show up initially simply type in some basic information and list your business in the Google local listings. To activate your Google local listing type in your business phone number and Google’s automated system will call you immediately with a pin number for you to plug in to verify your new Google business listing.

This will also prevent someone else or your competition from claiming your local Google listing and filling in bogus information about your business.

Having a fully optimized Google places listing is vital in today’s economy and should be the foundation for every business on and off line! Here’s a few tips on how you can optimize your Google business listing:

• Name of your business,
• address,
• phone number,
• website address,
• hours of operation,
• description,
• categories,
• payment options such as Visa, MasterCard etc.,
• 10 photo’s of your business,
• 1 video of your business and any additional details.

I’ve found that there are basically 3 different kind’s of people: some folks like to learn how to do certain tasks, some like to learn how and apply what they’ve learned and some people don’t want to learn or they may not have the time or patience but they want someone to do the task for them.

What are YOUR most Precious Possessions?

 

The National Sex Offender Database Is Free To Check

Are Your Children Safe?

Although most parents don’t check the National Sex Offender Database it’s a free service that informs you of how many sex offenders live in your area. Click here to find sex offenders in your zip code.

First of all there needs to be an awareness to this growing challenge in our society.

Second we need to educate YOU the parent so you can teach your children and teens so they will NOT become victims.

Third we will prevent most of the tragic crimes these sex offenders are commiting to our children.

When you were in school as a child and your teacher taught you what to do when you had a fire drill they didn’t scare you, they taught you to stay calm and never panic, look for the exit sign and leave the school building in an orderly manor.

Children are smart,  if we teach them what to do when they’re in certain situations 84% will be able to deflect these child predators but they must be taught on a regular basis just like the fire drills we practiced at school.

Remember to teach your children on a daily basis and do some role playing, if you don’t, when they’re in their rebellion years they won’t believe anything you say.

Get your free copy of my Child Safety Information e-book with 25 tips that could help save your children and teens life, simply fill in your first name and email address in the form on my blog and I’ll send that over to you. 

There’s a service available that has an amazing track record thats been around for more than 20 years that most parents don’t even know exists. This service gives you a choice and benefits like no other child safety company which includes education for both parents and children, an emergency response system that even Law Enforcement doesn’t provide. Find out why Law Enforcement can’t provide these benefits! This service also includes Run-Aways. For more info click here.

There’s also a small device that plugs into your usb port on your computer that allows you to control and monitor your child or teens computer activity, on and offline including emails. You can even watch every key stroke and what website they were on just like a movie. It helps make your kids more responsible when they know you could check behind them. For more info click here.

Not only should you be aware and concerned about sex offenders in your area you should be aware about the one’s that haven’t been caught too.

Don’t forget that over 95% of all cases the offender is someone that you or your child knows. The moment you let your guard down is when it happens!

I would love to hear from you and get your input of what you’re doing to ensure your child or teens safety. Feel free to share with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Please comment too!

Thank you

Honey and cinnamon are found in most homes but did you know the health benefits it has when taken daily?

 

I’ve been suffering from gout (a type of arthritis) for the past six months until I started eating cinnamon and honey on a daily basis.

I had tried almost everything to get relief from gout.

Whithin two days I could get a shoe on again and within two weeks after taking honey and cinnamon twice per day, I don’t have any pain or swelling and I’m able to do everything I use to do.

Honey and cinnamon has other healing properties as well:

• Lowers colesterol
• Helps build your immune system
• Strengthens your arteries
• eliminates pain and swelling associated with arthritis and gout
• Helps your skin look younger and more supple etc…

Missing 12 Year Old Found Dead, body badly decomposed in Colorado.

Most parents don’t think it’s possible for their child or teen to go missing (Think again). That is what a parent said when her daughter went missing 2 months ago that was just found dead. 

The few blocks this girl would have crossed to get to the party is well-populated and safe, according to officials.

Her mother said that she had no concern about letting her daughter walk alone and that the neighborhood is not dangerous.

Everyone around here walks everywhere, It’s not a bad neighborhood.

Could you imagine the hurt that this mother and all of her relatives are going through today?

This should be a wake up call to every parent in America!

There’s a 1 in 40 chance of it happening to your child or teen!

Human trafficking  or otherwise called child prostitution is an American problem most people don’t even know exist. Most people think this only happens in other countries when in fact early statistics show more than 400,000 child prostitutes are in the U.S. alone, over 800,000 in the world.

According to the FBI the money in child prostitution is much higher than adult prostitution and this problem is getting worse.

The FBI also says that pimps are advertising more on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and My Space, to attract and recruit the children.

The average age for a child prostitute in the United States is 12 years old and anywhere between the ages of 11 to 17.    I remember reading about one girl that was rescued in an FBI raid that was only 9 years old.

Many people can’t believe that human trafficking is such a huge problem in the United States. Thousands of children are bought and sold for sex every day across America.

Some of these children are taken to truck stops and made to do thirty sex acts per day and if they try to escape their pimps beat them so badly that they don’t try to leave a second time for fear of getting beaten to death.

Every now and then, the public will hear about human trafficking in the United States, when in fact if the news media reported child prostitution every time it happened, there wouldn’t be any time left to tell other stories.

The internet is vastly being used for child prostitution! The pimps have taken it off of the streets where it can be seen and have now hidden it on the internet.

Statistics will only grow exponentially unless we’re proactive and protect our children and teens against this terrible crime.

If you would like to get involved and greatly reduce these statistics, contact me for some proven solutions at 336 926 1492

I would love to hear your thoughts on this sensitive subject and the measures you’re taking to ensure your childs’ safety.

While the masses are doing SEO, PPC, Ezine articles, and Video’s and trying to make it to the top of the first page on Google in their niche, there’s a new sleeping Giant that most people haven’t even considered advertising on…

That sleeping Giant is Facebook.

With 400 million people on Facebook in the world, thats about the same amount of men, women, and children in the USA.

Over 350 thousand new users per day and no sign of slowing down either.

Facebook also gets 39 billion page views per month, more than any website in the world including Google.

Wouldn’t it be great to only target customers most likely to purchase your service or product?

Hold on a moment before you start putting your ads on Facebook…

You’ll want to read and understand Facebooks Terms of Service. Remember this is not Google.

If you would like a new challenge without creating backlinks through articles, video’s etc…then you will want to do your homework and learn how to laser target your audience with Facebook ads.

Then you may want to ask yourself: Is Facebook the new Google?

Do You Have An Interview Process?

When you add people to your organization do you sign up anyone or do you put them through an interview process first?

Here are a few questions you may want to consider asking before you add someone you know nothing about to your team!

• Their Name, address, phone number, email address.
• Place of employment now.
• Their background.
• What’s more valueable:  Time or money?
• Why are you looking for a business?
• Do you know what an entrepreneur is?
• Do you have at least 10 hours per week to dedicate to your business?
• Is there any reason why I couldn’t do a background check on you?
• What’s causing you to look for a business?
• How much money do you want to generate in a business of your own?
• Can you see yourself making $5000 to $10,000 per month?
• Other than money, what are you wanting to accomplish from your business?
• Are you content with your life or do you want something more?
• Are you willing to work for what you want out of life and in your business?

Just remember, you’re going to have to work with this person so you’ll want to find out as much information as you can to see if they will be a great fit for your business and your time.

Do you know the four different personalities?

You may want to do a little research of your own to help you add the right people to your business. None of the different types are the wrong types. This just lets you know which one’s you’re willing to spend your precious time and energy on and that makes a perfect match for your business.

I would rather have 10 people that I could work with than 100 people I had to baby-sit and wipe their noses.

I remember years ago I would sign up anybody that was breathing. Now I put them through an interview process first. If they answer the questions right I will let them know if we’re right for each other or not. Don’t feel bad if you have to let a few go sometime’s because your time is much more valuable than just signing up anyone.

One of the best ways to find out what personality a person has is to ask questions and listen to their answers. Remember God gave you one mouth and two ears, so listen more than you talk.

Here’s a brief example of the four main personalities:

1. Phlegmatic: (Flat) Makes up 35% of the population. They’re givers, they don’t like conflict or change, not easily excited, laid back and easy going. They don’t like to rock the boat.  They like to talk about family, kids and vacation. They don’t like aggressive sales people.
2. Choleric: (Commander) Makes up 15% of the population. They’re the bossy type, stubborn, money motivated, arrogant, non coachable. They’re focused on getting things done. Don’t tell them about your family or vacation because they don’t care. They don’t like anyone telling them what to do either.
3. Sanguine: (Social) Makes up 15% of the population. They enjoy having fun all of the time and talking about fun activities. They like telling stories and they jump from opportunity to opportunity all of the time looking for more fun things to do. They already have a good idea of the details without you explaining everything to them. They love interaction and are the most creative.
4. Melancholy: (Mental) Makes up 35% of the population. They love to research and analyze everything to death. They hardly ever make a decision because they never stop analyzing and researching. They want to know all of the details before getting started. They believe they’re the smartest people on earth.

Just remember the next time you interview someone for your business, ask questions and listen. You just might find out what personality they have and if you think they will become a great fit for you and your business.

My next blog post will be about some questions that you’ll want to ask your potential business partners.
