Tuesday, October 24, 2006JapanTrip Day 1
We got to our hotel room after about 30 hours of travelling. Devin met us at the train station in Nagaoka and we went out to dinner at a ramen shop. Everybody freaked out at the size of the ramen bowls. I was full from gyoza and other stuff, but I still pounded most of the noodles. Our flight over was pretty boring, there was no turbulance. The worst part of it was when they played the movie "Garfield." Sitting in one spot for twelve hours is already mentally challanging enough, but then to have to sit through what seems like 20 hours of "Odie is stupid" is enough to drive a televangelist insane.

Clerks II...
Clerks II is one of Kevin Smiths funniest movies ever. I have never seen an audience in a theater laugh so hard. Ever.
Lumberjack Days...
Me and my brothers went to Lumberjack days in Stillwater yesterday. My favorite event was the log race. They had some smokin hot babes racing across a line of floating logs in the water. Wetness ensued.
Friday, July 21, 2006Writing Articles - 3 Steps To Help You Get Started
Do you have trouble getting started writing an article? One of the toughest obstacles in article writing is actually starting the article writing process. No matter how many articles we write, it is something we want to avoid because we sometimes don’t know where to start. Since article writing has become a form of marketing that almost anyone can do and afford, now is the time to take on this challenge head on.
Creating an outline is one of the best methods to use when writing an article. Having an outline provides a foundation of your article. In other words and outline gives you a starting point from which you can build into a story. An outline will make the article writing process easier and faster. Brainstorm To start off your outline, brainstorm and jot down your ideas. Set up about a 15 minute time frame and write freely. Try not to over think when you are writing down your ideas. This process does not have to be formal so write freely. Think of some ideas you would like to cover and supporting points for that idea. Review your notes and now organize your outline. Organize the Outline When you organize your outline, identify and ensure the purpose of the article. The purpose of the article should help you figure out the introduction of your article. Then identify key points of your article. Now that you have a frame for that article, you need to come up with ideas supporting those key points. As you come up with more supporting material your outline will build and you’ll have an expectation of the length of the article. After this process you should have an outline of all of your paragraphs (i.e. the body of the article). You now need to outline a conclusion. The conclusion outline should be similar to the introduction of the outline and supportive of all the main points of the outline. Create the First Draft Now you should have enough material for a first draft of the article. Your draft should be a similar process to your brainstorm. Just write. Don’t worry about being perfect. Think of it this way, no one will read your first draft. Plus, you will be refining the draft into an article. As you move through this process, you will see the article form. Always refer to your outline and let it serve as the central point to your article. From my experience it is very easy to move away from the purpose of your article. Your outline will keep you on track to the purpose of the article (is you use it). An outline does not only provide a plan for your article it serves as a way to get started with writing the article. Your outline skills will be something you will refine with practice. You’ll build momentum to creating the first draft of your article. You will eventually trust your self and become a very productive tool in writing articles quickly and effectively.

When people start a website they feel they need to make changes to increase their website traffic when in reality it is their targeted website traffic they need to focus on. Having hundreds of thousands of people come to your website a day means nothing if what you offer isn’t what they’re looking for. You have to find out what people want to know and what they need to help gear your website towards your targeted website traffic. So how do you do this?
The first thing you must do to reach your targeted website traffic is find one niche and focus on that. Too many times people try to promote more products than they need to which hurts their traffic. If you focus on one product or service as your main item, you will gain knowledge on the product and be able to promote it the correct way. People want to know that you know what you’re talking about and that isn’t always as easy as it sounds when you have multiple niches. While you need to focus on one niche, you need to also offer items that are closely related to your niche. For example, if you sell shoes on your website then you need to offer shoe laces and waterproof protector and so on. This will make your site more appealing and increase your targeted website traffic. Try not to offer more than needed; stick to items that will be of interest to your guests. In order to increase your targeted website traffic you have to determine what your targeted website traffic consists of. Figure out who you are targeting and experiment with your site to see what types of visitors are coming more than others. After you have determined who you are targeting, begin adjusting your site to make it more appealing for the targeted crowd. Go to forums and peoples blogs to see what questions they have that you can answer on your website. The more your website focuses on your targeted crowd, the more people you will get. Lastly, remember to continuously add free content. If you give the readers new content every day they will return to your website to see what you’ve added. Give the readers information that they want to know but have not heard of yet. To increase your targeted website traffic you must make a post or two a day to keep people entertained with your site. Also, try to build up an email database so that you can drop people a quick email notifying them of changes to your website from time to time. It is important that you stay focused on increasing your targeted website traffic over your website traffic in general. Focusing on a particular niche will drive in your targeted website traffic because your niche is specific. Just remember, the more targeted website traffic you receive, the more productive your site is.

About Me
- Mike
- Scandia, Minnesota, United States
- I was raised just just like any other kid. There was the usual: school, friends, and mac n cheese. We got my dog, Spike, when I was in third grade. Around 4th grade I started gaining weight. Alot of it. I didn't help that I was eating Burger King every other day. Middle school seemed like it was over just as it began. The days flew by. I went to high school for two days, decided that it was lame and dropped out. One of the first things that I did after I dropped out of highschool was a diet. I lost around 60 to 70 pounds in only a couple years. After that, my family and I moved to a farm and started my own buisness. I also adopted my other dog, Cali, from a neighbor that was moving away.
