Carl Hoffman, self-appointed historian with a solid knowledge of the 60s era says: “This month I am looking back at the month and year of May 1968. Do you recall what was going on in your life during that month and year? It is very difficult to pinpoint exactly unless there was an event that was very memorable and you stored it away in your memory bank to be recalled whenever you like. I do recall...

When you choose a niche and set up a website, you want to use every means available to generate profit. Often overlooked, keywords are a major player in the arena of making money.
The concept of using keywords is a simple one. Those are words that identify your website and bring it to the attention of search engines. Without the right keywords, your batting average for getting customers and sales will be pretty dismal.
Many online entrepreneurs and would be entrepreneurs grasp that keywords are vitally important for traffic, but what they often don’t get is that broad keywords and long tail keywords can be used to bring in the money.
How are these different from just using any keywords? Broad keywords are words that don’t narrow down the topic – think short, one word versus phrases – for example, car versus buying a Honda Odyssey, or tree versus how to plant an Oak tree.
When you look up long tail keywords, you might see that there aren’t as many results for those words as there are for broad keywords. But there are more of those types of phrases, so the actual traffic volume can exceed what you’d get with a broad search ranking.
You want to bring in people who know what they want. Someone who types in the word cars may be looking for the animated cartoon called cars, the history of cars, used cars, new cars, and more.
People type in long tail phrases are telling you what it is they want. For instance, here’s a good one – “How to buy cars without getting ripped off.” You could sell someone a guide on buying a new car because you’d know exactly what their needs are compared to someone just typing in ‘cars.’
If you were in the business of selling self-help products for depression, you could use depression as a broad keyword, but to get more specific you’d use long tail keywords such as ‘post partum depression symptoms’ or ‘signs of depression in men.’
Not only will you pull in people searching for information on depression in general by using broad keywords, but you’ll also get people searching for depression as it pertains to their situation.
When you do a search to find broad keywords, you’ll see that there are a lot of searches per month for that word or words. But the more focused your keywords, the better your site performs when the search engine spiders come crawling. You want the people who find your site to be the ones that are looking for what you have to offer.

The news is full of stories about the thousands of boomers who will be retiring every day beginning this year and much of the political discourse seems to be centered on the viability of Social Security and Medicare entitlements, causing concern among many middle-aged citizens
Before Social Security was enacted in 1935, men and women who became physically handicapped or too old to work depended on relatives who often didn’t have much to share; children who lost their father were often treated as a burden to others or sent to an orphanage.
There are some big lifestyle differences between those first generations of Social Security beneficiaries and the present generation of retiring boomers.
Well into the third quarter of this past century, workers avoided accumulating debt and aspired to pay off their mortgage before they reached retirement age. It wasn’t until sometime in the 1970′s that the banks started
stepping up the promotion of credit cards and home mortgage refinancing.
Offsetting this dreary financial situation is this generation of baby boomers’ attitude… they generally believe in staying fit and keeping their mind and social life active. Many of them are thinking about producing an extra income to supplement their Social Security check.
In earlier days, producing some extra income wasn’t easy; it meant getting a part-time job in a company or the local hardware store, teaching a skill or providing a needed service, such as small house repairs, gardening or cleaning services. Starting a small business could be an option, but that required some capital and a big time commitment. Any of those endeavors required some commuting!
Today, the Internet is providing practically unlimited means of communications with no geographical limitations, making it fairly easy to start a successful home business. A boomer facing retirement could be looking for answers to the following questions:
* How does my view of retirement differ from my parents’?
* How could I get some kind of home business up and running?
* How does knowing that I’m probably going to live longer than previous generations change my outlook on life?
With plenty of time to do research answers to those questions and many more can be found on the Internet;there are many dependable websites and blogs offering free or low cost step-by-step instructions for planning a home business and making it work.
Here at Apprentice Marketer Gazette, I share information I’ve learned over the past four years and continue to get through daily contact with other bloggers and marketers.
What are your thoughts about extra income possibilities? Do you have some
suggestions other readers would like to read about? Please share!
