If you have or are Starting a Business, there’s a new social network, Sta.rtUp.biz, that recently launched. Rather than trying to promote your business on a social network geared towards teens and celebrities, small businesses can have a page and network with other like-minded small businesses.

Not only can you network with other small business owners, the site is jam packed with resources for the small business owner, such as Motivational Video Clips and Free Search Engine Optimization. The forum also has three experts to provide you with assistance in each major area of small business. A corporate lawyer will answer your legal questions, the “Search Guru” helps you with Google rankings and provides Free Search Engine Optimization, and there’s a veteran serial entrepreneur to mentor you on business management and strategy.  Check out the page I just started … mind you, I just started it, so it’s not very active yet.

In addition to the resources above, Sta.rtUp.biz provides daily articles from the most popular business magazines, including Inc, BusinessWeek, FSB, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Forbes, and Fortune.  There’s also the the “Video Hall of Fame”, a comprehensive video library, with videos from Zig Ziglar to Tony Robbins.

You can get 10 friends or have five of your invitees join to become a featured member.

• Start by adding content to your profile page.
• Use it to keep a blog, and display your profile answers.
• Start contributing: Add photos • Upload videos • Contribute to discussions • Join groups

If you’re interested in networking with other small business owners and learning the skills necessary to launch and operate a small business, sign up now.

I’ve been business online for quite a few years now and have tried many types of advertising online. I’ve lost my shirt and a bundle of money using Google Adwords and other PPC services. There’s one little known paid advertising service I’ve used with amazing results … and without going broke. I submitted several campaigns to StumbleUpon Ads and the results are nothing short of fantastic. Of course, your results will depend on the type of content you submit to SU.

Actually Contracts for Difference (CFD) is a new terminalogy related to stock trading:

“an agreement between two persons, the buyer and the seller, which says that the selling party will pay to the buying party the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at the time that the contact was entered into.

I’ve talked about a lot of ways to make money online, but haven’t broached the Forex business thus far. Actually, the task seemed a little daunting to me. I’ve read much about Forex scams and ripoffs and didn’t have enough information to get into Forex with any confidence. The best defense against getting ripped off or losing money when getting into Forex Trading is education and research.

The Internet is full of Forex Trading sites that rely on the fact that most people do not know what they are doing when investing in Forex. You’ll find everything from “free forex training and seminars, free forex signals, get rich quick forex software schemes and more. So how do you choose the right information so you don’t get ripped off? Read the rest of this entry »

Hey … there’s a new cow in town. It might look like the same old cow, but I recently read that the John Cow website is under new ownership. Funny … I drop on over there occasionally to check up on what they’re up to and lately I noticed a huge improvement in content, but I wasn’t aware that there had been a sale.

I have to admit, I was no big fan of the previous cow. I wrote about it here - John Cow article. Arrogance really ticks me off. So I just wanted to say … welcome … from one cow to another and I’ll be checking out this big cowpetition you’re having.

Technorati Authority and Technorati Blog Ranking is a popular measure of a blog’s performance. Blogs with high Technorati Authority and Ranking are often considered the top blogs of the blogosphere and, as a result, have a better chance of being featured at Technorati. Being recognized on Technorati will certainly increase your traffic and recognition. Here are a few tips on how to increase your Technorati Authority and Technorati Blog Rank quickly.

Inbound Links

To increase your blog’s Technorati Authority and improve your blog’s Technorati blog rank, all you need to do is to increase the number of inbound links (links from other blogs pointing to your blog) to your blog. Here are several ways to increase your blog’s inbound links.

Claim Your Blog

The first and obvious step is to register an account with Technorati and Claim Your Blog. The Technorati Authority of a blog won’t increase until your blog has been claimed in Technorati.

Now Start Building Links

Your Technorati Authority and Rank will begin to improve as the links back to your blog increase. One common way that bloggers increase the number of links to their blog is to leave comments on ‘DOFOLLOW’ blogs. To help prevent comment spam, many bloggers implement a ‘NoFollow’ on the links in their comments, so if increasing your Technorati Authority is your goal, leaving comments on ‘NoFollow’ blogs will not help to accomplish that. It’s also important to choose blogs that have PageRank. The following is a list of blogs with Pagerank from 3-5 that implement ‘DOFOLLOW’ on their comments. Read the rest of this entry »
