I spend most of my time working online and earning a living through writing, designing and doing SEO. When I’m not doing these things though often I’ll be working out and lifting weights down the gym which I have always found to be a great way to boost self-esteem, improve health and also just burn off some steam after a tough day. Interestingly though, more and more lately I find myself noticing similarities between these two activities. While the actual process may be very different (there is little that you need to lift doing SEO), the attitudes and the secrets to success are actually very similar. Let’s look at some of the lessons you can take from SEO and apply to getting into shape.
Constant Dedication
Many people trying to get into shape will come to me and ask and me to write training programs, which as a rule I will do happily. What frustrates me though is that over 50% of the time these people won’t bother to follow any of the advice I have carefully set out for them. Instead they’ll do it half-heartedly once or twice and then decide they’re too busy or too tired or some similar nonsense.
The point is, that succeeding in bodybuilding isn’t really about the minutiae of your training program – it’s just about doing one and sticking at it. Pretty much any routine that involves exertion is going to be good for you but you’re only going to see any results if you do it day in and day out for several months at least.
The same goes for SEO. So many people I know have attempted to create a successful website only to post two articles and get bored. Perhaps they come back to it every now and again, but never do they start to post regularly enough to build up any kind of readership or impress Google at all.

When it comes to SEO, one of the most straightforward and simple aspects to understand is building your link profile. It makes a lot of sense that the more links you have pointing to your site, the more easily Google will be able to find and index your pages, and likewise it’s only logical that building lots of links will help visitors to find your site too and make your pages look more popular and reliable.

All The Channels-All The Time
While some social media tools of dissemination are way better than others it is super important that you cover all your bases. Having a Twitter account without a website or a Facebook profile associated to it is a mistake that will kill you. If you are a musical artist you must go beyond websites and engage in Youtube and Vimeo. Delivering your essence is key to establishing a fan base. If you are a visual artist consider means such as Pinterest to share your art. Aside from presence across the web you must have continuity and engagement. You need to be around ALL the time. Peaks and valleys of engagement can impact your fan-base growth more than you can ever imagine.

If you have no previous experience, building a website can be a daunting task. There is a lot to consider but everyone starts at the same essential spot. First and foremost, you must decide what it is you want your website to be. Are you trying to help people find good recipes?
Maybe you’re a big automotive buff and want to design a website to help people all over the world get their cars going again. Whatever it is you want to do, you need to be passionate about it. With that first bit satisfied, the real work comes next. Here’s an easy way to build your first website, even if you have little to no idea what you’re doing.
Get on Google
Anyone building a website should be hoping to appear on Google search results pages. Getting your website to show up when people look for it will bring in more traffic and give your business a more professional look and feel. To accomplish this, you will need to do two things.
First, you’ll have to provide visitors some excellent content they just can’t find anywhere else. Make them laugh, make them cry, make them think and most importantly, make it memorable. If people see stuff they like on your website, nothing is really stopping them from sharing the news with their friends, family and co-workers. Everything on the internet starts out small and grows in a similar fashion.

What is the most important thing in the world when it comes to online business? Is it the amount of subscribers you have on your email list? What about the amount of sales you make every month?

All of these things come down to your bank balance, but maybe money shouldn’t be the thing you worry about the most if you know what is good for you.
It’s obviously important because without money you don’t have a business, but what about safety? Losing everything is the worst thing that could ever happen to you and when it comes to online businesses it’s easier to lose everything than you think. At the very least you should be taking the necessary steps every day to protect your biggest asset. Let’s take a look at some ways you can start protecting your business from harm right now.
<h3Save Your Website
Your website is the most important thing in the world and you might have spent years building it up. It would be tragic if it suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. You can’t rely on the hosting company to save you because there have been too many incidents where they have failed. You should have a script on the backend of your system that allows you to make a backup of your website every day. Only then can you be sure it’s safe when you go to sleep at night.
