If You Use Twitter Check Out Topsy
What kind of search engine is topsy?
Topsy is a new kind of search engine, with a new way of looking at the Internet. Topsy doesn’t think the Internet is a collection of documents. Or even a web of documents. Topsy sees the Internet as a stream of conversations. Topsy treats people differently from the webpages they create and the things they say. And Topsy sees that people in every community are connected in a web of relationships, where each person influences other people to read, talk and think about things.
When you search for something on Topsy, such as “free music“, it finds snippets of conversations that match what you’re looking for. Topsy results are the things people link to, when they’re talking about your search terms. Topsy ranks results based on how well they match your search terms, and the influence of the people talking about them.
Why should you care?
Because of how Topsy works, Topsy can do things other search engines don’t usually do. Topsy results are fresh, because they’re based on what you’re talking about right now. Or this week. Or the past month. Topsy has “trackback” pages for everything in its index, showing what everyone is saying about that thing. Conversations are about people, and Topsy has pages for every person it listens to – listing the things you’ve been talking about.
The first index is based exclusively on Twitter statuses and the wonderful people who write them.

Teaching vs. Selling an Internet Marketer Can Only Choose One
OK, so it's been a little while now and my exposure and following are both growing daily. I try to understand how being transparent and open really makes this happen. I mean are this many people really that interested in what I have to say? Certainly not. Is my website or name just that intriguing?
Maybe it's some form of the animal instinct we all have, transformed into an ability to detect BS online that frightens me. I don't want people to visit me online and take me for some sort of hype man or callous salesperson who uses scare tactics and mind games. That was my previous life. My effort is to remain as transparent and honest as I can while I teach everything I know to my online associates.
Now it goes without saying that compensation is important BUT how do you let people who can't look you in the eyes know that you are truly just like them? I mean there are tons of stories out there about the unemployed, MBA who was ousted from his corner office and now owns the building, or the soccer mom who started out looking for uniform money and now takes a limo to her kids soccer game OR (my personal favorite) the guy who had no clue about feeding his family UNTIL......... I think you understand where I'm going. How do you keep it real without sounding like an infomercial?
I often find that I will flee from a page that is touted as being a resource as soon as I feel like I am being sold something. SO, my challenge is to not become "that guy". All of the gurus that I follow constantly harp on the importance of "quality content". Maybe that's it. Maybe by giving away tons of information that is useful and immediately effective one becomes a teacher and not a salesperson. I mean everybody holds teachers in high regards don't they?
Maybe the secret is teaching everyone who inquires, everything I know about it all. The whole ball of wax right out there on the table. But what happens when I've shared it all? Maybe by giving it all away as soon I learn, I guarantee that there's always room for me to grow.
Hmm.....

Leaps and Bounds in Six Weeks
It has been 60 days since my last post. When I first got started, I vowed to post 2 or 3 times weekly but that soon fell through. Just one of the realities a new guy had to deal with I guess. Even though I was active in growing my business I just didn't have the discipline to keep at it as strictly as I would have liked to. I WILL do better. I mean what is a true diary without regular entries?
In those 60 days I have added another component to my online presence that has proven to be phenomenal. Not sure if you are familiar with Network Marketing or not BUT the power of the internet makes the concept a very exciting venture.
I personally joined an opportunity that provides a service that everyone needs. Well that is the pitch of all Network Marketers but I wanted to make sure that I didn't get stuck with thousands of dollars in inventory or have tons of friends and family angry with me the next month. For me it had to be something a stranger would seek me out to buy. Helping the people I have brought on as teammates reach some of their initial goals in network marketing has been fulfilling in more ways than I can describe.
Well the first 2 weeks brought $587 in income and the following 3 weeks grew to $2100. This has dwarfed my income from my existing internet marketing efforts but I think of it as another component of the total machine. It excites me to think of what is going to be my reality 12 to 18 months from now.

Stay positive and stay productive.

My First Online Paycheck!!! Not Bad for A Rookie Internet Marketer
O.K. now we are talking!!
You read about the millionaires online,the products that they move and the automated systems they use and you think yourself, could this really be true? You buy into the possibility that this could be something that you would like to pursue and you put a toe in the water by choosing your own product or affiliate campaign to promote. Then you write. You write articles online, you blog, you email, you write, you write, you write...... You wait, you wait , you wait.......
That seems to be the process described by many that I speak with. Well guys, my belief in an online career has been strengthened even further. I have read all of the testimonials about how people vacation, devote time to family or simply proceed with their daily lives and then start to see money deposited into their bank accounts.
This time it happened to me!! The Mrs. and I traveled to meet up with some family for about 4 days and while I did Tweet a few times http://twitter.com/tatumcap and briefly checked my email, I didn't have time to labor or toil over network marketing efforts at http://www.tatumcapital.com/ or my affiliate campaign at http://tinyurl.com/qbnc5f . In an effort to make a budget for the week ahead, I decided to log in to my online banking and check my balances. What was there waiting for me? My first ACH from my online efforts as an internet marketer.
Now don't get me wrong, I won't be buying that Ferrari I have on my vision board or paying off the mortgage just yet. BUT, this online rookie has strengthened faith and vision in becoming totally free from the daily grind.

FOCUS.......The Days of an Internet Marketer Can Be Full of Distraction
Man, the word for today is FOCUS.
The whirlwind I have been in lately has really put me in an awkward place. I have full immersed myself in the world of internet marketing and affiliate marketing by joining a few forums and researching as many sites as I can lately. It seems that the more I learn the more I get distracted. Information is abundant out there.
My goal when I started was to put together a way to supplement and then replace my day to day grind. It is becoming hard to form a plan and stick with it though. The more I read, the more I get distracted. Sometimes you don't have enough time to measure results before wanting to implement a new method.
The one beacon that keeps me headed where I want to go still seems to be Jonathan Budd. The support structure that he provides is invaluable. Sometimes it just helps to hear that you are not the only one that is hungry and struggling. www.tatumcapital.com is coming along nicely.
So as I move forward, I must focus. My focus needs to be on the end result not the challenges. I have a relative that is an Olympian and his constant reminder to me is always that "a hurdler concentrates on the finish line not the hurdles". My focus will be on helping others and making the finish line. My earnest goal is to become a network marketer that creates true wealth for my associates in every manner.

Internet Marketing Courses Have My Head Spinning! This is Challenging but Fun
Whew! What a morning. I've spent the past 4hrs fully immersed in the curriculum developed by some the guys that I have taken on as mentors and my head is spinning. This whole world of Internet marketing is new to me.
I have always been the guy who would cold-call from lead lists or go to networking events and "bug" my prospects to death until they surrendered. Long gone are those days though. The old-school techniques taught by the 3 foot closers are obsolete nowadays. In order to survive, I must adapt. AND I WILL!!
SEO techniques, Social Media Magic, Twitter, Facebook! I need an ice-cold adult beverage. Just kidding. Each day is filled with more and more exciting possibilities and I can't help being excited.
Until tomorrow.

Getting Started in the World of Internet Marketing
As a budding Internet marketer the first thing I have found out is that it’s not as easy as you think it is. Everywhere you look online you are bombarded with stories of how to make millions while surfing, watching TV, playing with your kids, or otherwise goofing off. Chalk that up to effective Internet Marketing. I mean that’s what you are trying to learn how to do isn’t it?
In order to be successful at this business (and that’s what it is) you must identify how to quickly learn basic techniques that help you identify and build a market as well as captivate and keep loyal followers. There are tons of “Easy as 1-2-3” courses out there that you can weed through for weeks. There are also “Plug and Play” courses that sell you a business in a box that can make you money immediately. The downfall of most of these is that once you get your prospect to buy from you or one of your affiliates you have nothing more to offer.
You MUST practice ongoing education for your followers. This is the only way to build rapport and maintain a relationship based upon trust. Often times, your prospect will follow you for weeks before they buy. This is the simplest way of testing the integrity and value of your content. Offer free articles or advice that your prospect can derive immediate benefit from to build rapport. You may even direct them to people who are instrumental in your growth as a professional.
I ask you one simple question. Are you truly interested in learning the business and being able to make money at whatever you promote or do you want to sell templates that potentially millions of others have? Set yourself apart as a professional who cares early and you will reap the rewards for a long, long time.
Take this simple bit of advice. Identify a mentor or a professional that you trust to teach you what they know and hold you by the hand. If you are trying to identify a mentor, choose someone who is at the top of the industry and see if they have a program you can join. I follow the top 10 Internet Marketers and have found that taking advice from more than one makes my efforts more diverse. Have a look at my progress so far at http://www.tatumcapital.com As you have done here, search E-zines or other online resources such as blogs and forums to see what other successful marketers are doing.
Happy hunting and much success!
