WHY I WRITE ABOUT PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT TOPICS

Posted on by Alastair Walton

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time…

…you may have noticed I write a LOT about personal development.

But why is this…

Am I some kind of self-help guru?

(A Tony Robbins wannabe).

No, the reason why is much simpler.

You see, in order to have any type of success, you basically have to become a better person.

This is unavoidable.

And it’s especially true if you’re trying to launch some type of internet business.

It’s not enough to simply learn the ins and outs of entrepreneurship.

No, if you’re going to be more successful, then you often have to change yourself on a fundamental level. You have to learn how to manage your time, set and achieve goals, become more disciplined, and smash through the mental barriers which are holding you back.

Unless you do this it’s impossible to get anywhere.

Instead, you’ll waste time, make excuses for your failures, and procrastinate.

To a lot of people this might sound simple, redundant and even corny.

That’s understandable.

Self-help is a dorky subject.

But if you continue to think this way, it’s unlikely you’ll ever achieve anything.

On the other hand, if you’re a person who truly wants to get somewhere in life…

…then personal development is an absolute prerequisite.

A SNEAKY SEO TIP FOR PRODUCT OWNERS

Posted on by Alastair Walton

When buying something online what’s the first thing that people do?

This is simple:

They look for reviews.

For every product under the sun there are dozens and dozens of reviews sites.

Some of these focus on hundreds of products.

Others are highly specific.

For example, let’s say you’re thinking about buying something called, “One Minute Abs.”

In this case you’ll Google One Minute Abs Review.

What happens then is that a bunch of sites pop up.

And the first on this list will probably be oneminuteabsreview.com

These sites are built to take advantage of these types of searches.

That’s why the URL is always an exact match keyword.

(Anyone who has done affiliate marketing probably knows about this technique).

As a product owner you can also take advantage of this.

How?

When getting ready to launch your product (and once you’ve settled on a final name) buy the URL of that name plus the word review. Setup a blog and write your review. Add more pages related to the product and a sign up page for your list. Finally, write an about page and start building backlinks to the site. The idea is that when you launch your product and people start looking for reviews…

…your site will be the first search result.

If you do this right you’ll get dozens of additional sales, maybe even hundreds.

Remember, most of the people who buy your product will first look for reviews…

…and this is a great way to take advantage of that.

Something to think about.
