A Note from Mal Keenan
===================================

Greetings friends,
As always a warm welcome to those of you who have joined us since our last issue of HBT Newsletter.

I got a complaint from spam cop this week via my website host. Apparently someone took exception to receiving my newsletter and reported me.

Now all my subscribers are opt-in, meaning an email address has to be added manually to be added to my newsletter list, so either this person forgot that they subscribed or someone else added their address because they'd nothing better to do. So I'm innocent, but spam cop never takes this into consideration and followup on the whim of every headcase having a bad day.

The thing that gets me is that the easiest thing to do is click the link in any emails that I send to remove yourself yet people feel the need to go to the trouble to cause trouble. Is this just human nature?

Oh yeah and also the idiots who send me email after email to remove them when the link is sitting in front of their face. Sorry I lost it there:-)

Anyway, how's your week been? Any maniacs spoiling your fun?

Til next time

Your friend in success

FEATURE Article - 10 Things You Can Do TODAY to Boost Traffic to Your Website
===================================

By Michael Hopkins

Are you twiddling your thumbs and wondering what you might do today to bring more visitors to your website? If so, then twiddle no more!

Here's the challenge: over the next ten days, carry out ONE of the following strategies EACH (working) day. Just one a day over ten days. It doesn't matter which order you do them in, just do them. I guarantee you, it will give your website a terrific boost.

 1) Go to Google.com and run a few searches for keywords related to your business. Find those websites that target the same market as you, but that don't directly compete with you. Contact them and propose a joint venture. You could, for example, exchange advertising with them, offer them a free ebook that they can give to their visitors or invite them to promote your product in exchange for a commission on sales. This free ebook will give you some good ideas:
http://www.bizzydays.com/downloads/ebook/jointventures.zip

 2) Visit forums related to your product/service and get involved in discussions there. Aim to answer people's questions in a competent manner so as to establish yourself as someone 'in the know'. Don't blatantly plug your website  or product. Instead,place a signature at the end of your  message with a link to your website. Be sure to check the  forum rules (and look at other people's messages) to avoid  getting into trouble with other users.

 3) Download my free ebook "Over 178,000 Targeted Hits for Free!" and follow the instructions. Get your free copy here: http://freetraffic.bizzydays.com/

 4) Find at least 10 websites to exchange links with. REAL links on proper content-filled pages are best, but even links in links pages can be okay (not FFAs, just proper permanent links pages). Again, find websites targeting the same market and suggest  an exchange of links. Try signing up with sites like  LinkPartners:
http://www.linkpartners.com.

 5) Create a free ebook that is useful to your target market  and start giving it away. You'll find some guidelines on  this in this article:
http://bizzydays.com/reprint_rights/free.htm.

 6) Follow the instructions in this article:
http://bizzydays.com/reprint_rights/startpage_exchanges.htm.

 7) Write an article of interest to your target market and get it published across the web. By placing a short bio at the bottom of the article (with a little info about you or your product), together with a link to your website, you'll establish credibility as well as generate traffic. If you think you won't be able to write an article, try a  simple list of tips (just like this article). When it's  ready, submit your article to ezine publishers that target  the same market as you and also to article directories like GoArticles.com or IdeaMarketers.com.

 8) Download the InstantBoost system and follow the instructions: http://www.bizzydays.com/instantboost.html

 9) Download this free ebook: http://www.bizzydays.com/free/ezyads.exe and start taking advantage of free ezine advertising. In it you'll find a list of over 70 ezines that will let you place ads for free. Read this article before you start:
http://bizzydays.com/reprint_rights/free_ezine_ads.htm

 10) Follow the steps in this article and get free banner displays across the Internet:
http://bizzydays.com/reprint_rights/free_banner_displays.htm

 And there you have it! Ten ways to build traffic quickly. Now, get busy and start putting each step in place. In 10 days time you'll be glad you did!

Good luck!

SUCCESS ARTICLE - Leading L's in Life
===================================

By Joan Marques

Leading is the one skill that we should practice toward ourselves first, and then to others: There is no good leadership possible without proper self-leadership. If you don't know how to carry yourself, you will never be able to show others the right way. It is only when people respect how you present yourself over time, that they will really accept your leadership, whether you are their official superintendent or not. However, in order to be a great self-leader and an accepted leader for others, there are some priceless facts of life that you should continuously practice. Listed below are these 10 vital facts and the way they should be perceived:

Learning is the only thing we do from day one after birth: every new experience, every disappointment or victory, is a lesson that we should use in our decisions later.

Listening is not just a polite activity, but it can be the determining factor in being accepted or not. When people know that you lend them an empathetic ear, that you also listen to the unsaid, and that you listen with more than just your ears and your mind, you will earn their timeless respect and loyalty.

Loving is the single emotion that will weed out all negativity that is presented to us in the course of time. It will lead us to the realization that the world will be a much better place if we all start practicing it just a little bit more intense.

Laughing is the one act that we should practice more often: not only when we hear something funny or when we experience a great progress, but also when we catch ourselves making silly mistakes: for if you cannot laugh about yourself, you are in big trouble.

Looking is one of the most misinterpreted words in the alphabet. Most of the time we consider it as an act to be executed with the eyes only. But looking with the mind, heart, and soul into other people's character and their spirit can guide you to the right decisions.more than anything else.

Leaping may be considered the most daring act in life: It comes after looking, but it requires much more than insight. It also demands bravery and decisiveness. Some leaps may have a life-changing effect.

Legacy is what every self-respecting person would like to leave for others. What a wonderful idea that people will continue to think of us, quote us, use our wisdom or our strategies, long after our physical presence has faded away. Leaving a legacy begins with living in an exemplary way.

Loyalty toward friends, co-workers, subordinates, and not in the least to your own principles, will be recognized by the ones who follow your acts. They will learn from your behavior, and carry forth this skill toward others.

Luck cannot be bought or ordered. But it can be found in the most unexpected corners of life. It will manifest itself when least expected: as a result of a good deed done to someone, somewhere, somehow. Luck is the karma that some people mention when they encourage you to do well unto others. Luck is the positive reward we get for the unknown blessings we brought unto others.

Living, finally, is the one requirement without which none of the above would be possible. If you want to be a good leader for yourself and others, you should realize that the art of living lies in a good balance in everything you do: enough hard work, enough exercise, enough fun, and enough rest. You just perform better when you are in balance. Remember: you exude what you are, whether you are aware of it or not.
