You may have been seeing the word BLOG or WEBLOG around lately and wondered "what in the world?" - well here's what it means "a weblog" or "blog" for short - is a place where (usually a website owner - but anyone who has something to say) somebody writes down their thoughts on a (usually) regular basis. Business blogs are hugely popular and some are becoming big money makers. Various clubs and organizations have blogs, as do movie stars and celebrities. The blogs are free and anyone can create their own. People who read them are also able to leave comments on them.
I've started one of my own - why you may ask? These same reasons will be important to ANY business owner so take note:
A few important reasons:
1) I don't want to flood your mailbox with newsletters all the time - you may want to find out what's going on in my business world more often - maybe I'm going to be doing a seminar, or my book will be launched and you'd like to find out if I'm doing a signing in your area - the BLOG will have it first!
2) Every time I write something in the BLOG it will be "crawled" by the search engine spiders - this gives me a better chance of popping up in the search engines - something ALL businesses online want.
3) It's an opportunity for me to communicate back and forth with my site visitors - and know what you're thinking!
If someone who turned $15,000 into more than a $1,000,000 in 3 years said to you:
"Do you want your website to contribute more to your bottom line?"
"Do you want to turn this business expense into a valuable business tool?"
....would you listen? I sure would!
That's what Colin Sprake has done....he came to Canada less than 3 years ago with $15,000 and now he's a millionaire! I'm listening!
My associate, Colin Sprake, has created a fantastic program that anyone considering doing business on the Internet needs to know about!
If you answered yes, to either or both of these questions, you NEED to know about Colin's Make Your Mark seminar on Friday, February 25, 2005.

Networking - Internet Style!
Are you looking for a way to REALLY expand your business network around the globe? I have recently joined a new network that began in the UK - it's called ecademy! I can honestly say this is one of the BEST networking groups I've ever belonged to! In the short time I've been a member I have made connections with people in over 10 countries, and am in talks for deals with two of those people.
You can try e-cademy FREE for 10 days as a GUEST. After that you can join as a GUEST and still receive the same services, but you can also join as a standard member for only $25 US a year, or 2 other higher levels that provide more benefits. Here's the link http://www.ecademy.com?xref=76849
You'll benefit from membership as it will give you new contacts, fresh ideas and valuable connections to the market, creating a wealth of opportunities within Ecademy's trusted business network. Please do take a look at Ecademy here: http://www.ecademy.com?xref=76849
If you're not yet a member of Ecademy, you can join here:-
I really have found this to be a great place to meet new people, and start discussing deals around the world!
But my business is JUST LOCAL
Often people who have businesses that are "just local" will say things like "my clients are all within 50 miles so why would I join an international list?" - here's something to think about:
1) What if someone on that list has an idea that hasn't been used in your area yet - but is being used elsewhere and is NEW and MONEY MAKING - don't YOU want to be the FIRST one in YOUR AREA to know about it and USE IT and MAKE MONEY from it?
2) What if YOU come up with a great way to streamline your business? You're saving an hour a day by doing this new "thing" and you realize that EVERYONE else in your industry could do the same. Now if you're on a list with thousands of other people in your industry - don't you think that's an ideal place to sell your idea and make some MONEY???
I'd say those are just two ideas that make it worthwhile to be on international lists - EVEN IF YOU HAVE A BUSINESS THAT IS 'JUST LOCAL'. I bet if you thought about it you could probably come up with a few more.
