Update on Things in My Noggin !
Hey everyone, I really appreciate that you have given me the time to take some personal time off and to spend some time dealing with some personal and family issues for the past few months. I had to take some time off and I also have watched as some major changes have taken place in our market place. More and more Info Market Niche products are moving to WP Blogs as well as Mobile Marketing.
FaceBook has become a major player or the player in online communication. Social Networks are moving forward in many ways we had not expected. Most of all, mobile smart phone APPS have become incredible income streams for many people.
Twitter is still out there and it is being used by a number of specific users. Blogs with WordPress are also busting loose.
MySpace was sold and purchased by a group of investors that is trying to re-create the social site.
Webinar services and live Webinars are growing and for training, they are great. Or just to pass on information to a membership.
For me my family comes before any online business I try to do. I have had some very real issues going on (without getting into details) that are taking up the majority of my time. As many of you know I live with Chronic Pain and it is dealt with on a day to day basis because each day is different. I will continue to work as I can and begin to be more active online for a while right now but if you notice a drop off then, understand it is because my personal situation calls me to pay more attention to that.
Make no mistake about it. I am in the business of Internet Marketing. I do have other business online, that may or may not be discussed or linked to The Master Noggin Site.
I will also be putting and paying more attention to some of the other Niche Sites that I have. Pain Management, Music, and PLR are a few of these.
So for now, I hope you and your family are able to get started in the new school year (if you have kids in school) or that you are just ready to go to new levels “One Day At A Time ! ”
Continue to check back because in the next week I will be putting links on this site that will be direct download links to some great no charge PLR content as well as some Blog themes, PlugIns, Software, etc.
Look for more personal content. Look for more links to other online activity and Online training material.
I’ll be looking to share some of my personal experiences but I’ll do it through a Niche Blog devoted to a specific
physical issue. That way I will not be sharing with others that which they do not want to know about…
But look for new opportunities through Master Noggin. This business takes along time to get rolling. My business
is finally rolling along, But I want to add value to your life and your business in anyway I can.
Business is business and niche markets are niche markets ! But ideas are those things that cause a light bulb to go off in your head

Cell phones, do you really want to be available all the time?
Do you really want to be available for anyone and everyone on a 24/7 basis? What do I mean? A famous person once said that the more available you make yourself; the more available everyone will expect you to be. People will actually be annoyed if you are not instantly and constantly available rather than being pleased when you do call. People expecting you to be available all the time may be annoying. Cell phone calls follow you everywhere you are including your bathroom. Even during nighttime when you want to rest, cell phones continue to ring and annoy you. If it is important, no problem but if it is very menial, why you need to be bothered so late.
Today in this modern society, we live in and the proliferation of cell phones we see people talking anywhere and everywhere. If used for business, this may prove to be very effective and worthy. However, for very menial issues being bothered in your sleep and even during your bathroom time may be quite annoying if not outright disgusting. However, if you make yourself available all the time, you created your own nightmare.
Cell phone etiquette is getting to be a forgotten concept. You will see people talking on the phone loudly and disturbs people nearby in restaurants and even in offices. I am sure by now, once or twice in a meeting you will notice that when a cell phone rings, almost everyone around will immediately look for their cell phones. If you were the one talking, and then the person in front of you talks on his phone, how would you feel? I am sure you will feel belittled and ignored. Rude practice, and should be changed.
It may help people who use cell phones to follow certain degree of etiquette with respect to the use of cell phones specially in places where you may seem rude if you use or even when your cell phone rings.
When you are in a place of worship, it may be necessary to leave your cell phone in the house or at least turn it off if you do not want to be away with it. This is because ringing cell phone will not just disturb you while you pray it will also disturb others. You do not need to show off your expensive gadget in a place of worship.
During meetings, please turn off your cell phone; it is rude to have your phone ringing while somebody speaks. Disruption may cause problems especially when the meeting tackles extremely important issues. However, if you are waiting for terribly important call, you may use the vibrate mode of your cell phone to alert you when a call is in-coming and leave the meeting if you need to answer the call. You may also inform the possible caller that you are in a meeting and that you cannot be disturbed.
When traveling and if you are on-board an aircraft, you will be required to turn off your phone. This is because electronics devices may interfere with the aircraft’s avionics. Thus, it is a requirement to turn of your phone for safety reasons. However, for extremely long flights, airline companies allow cell phone usage at a certain time, if you really need to make a phone call, use this time allotted if necessary.
Cell phone have become to be a necessity nowadays, that is why most people use it and cell phone manufacturers have continuously develop different usage and functions for this very small gadget. Be globally competitive, but you should understand that being rude is not part of modernity. Follow certain degree of etiquette; this will be very helpful to you and your business.
Where Are You In 2011 ? What Drives You ?
Hello everyone,
I am hopeful that you have spent some time the past month or so looking at your Internet Business (or other business), your personal life and what it is that you are going to do moving forward into the 2nd quarter of 2011. As many of you know I do not make entries daily or weekly to this blog. I spend time researching other products and marketers as well as try to find out what causes some ideas to work for one marketer but not another.
I have come up with a few things that seem to be different.
1. Some have brand new products that they have JV’d with launching with another marketer.
2. Some have a large list, some do not !
3. Some just flat out bug you to death about a product and that drives me crazy.
4. Some marketers, have multiple autoresponder services that they use and so you end up getting the same emails from various AR’s if you purchased or signed up on one of those. This is another thing that drives me crazy.
5. Some Marketers feel they have to brag and make sure you know they have the expensive cars and big houses and travel the world. And they suggest you can too if you buy their products.
Question ; What is the motive behind those types to sales pages or emails ? Is it to grow their pocketbook, or is it to help you go to the next level as a marketer ? I for one would like to make some extra money online. But just because I buy their product does not make me any richer or happier. Having money is nice but it is not what drives me.
6. So this leads me to “WHAT DRIVES YOU ?” Is it Money, Fame, A sense of accomplishment from the challenge of online marketing and or sales ? Is it a hobby or a business?
These are few things I have thought about and looked at as I move forward. I have put family and health ahead of my online business. That means, I’ll make a post daily or release a new product every week or so, but then I may not do anything for another month because of other priorities I have set. I may outsource some work, etc.
Long story short.. As I have time to research and surf I decide what and when to do something. If I miss a window, from what I have seen, it will open again…
So, if you don’t see anything here for a while, just check back every now and again. I’ll also be changing my OptIn Forms to go to one list..That way, if you purchase or sign up with a Master Noggin
site, you will have replies only from the main Master Noggin site. No reason for me to have multiple lists. in my opinion. You always have the option to opt out. I will also integrate many different Niche Markets into my sites so you will never know when something hits that you have an interest in. We all have many interests don’t we. Why complicate matters with Niche lists only…It may backfire but
I try to think and work outside the box. The other things are what JV’s and AKA’s are for 
……
So have fun, surf, come back and check on things. I WILL BE offering some new and old products at low prices and a number of PLR/Giveaway products for you to check out over the next month.
And as I have said before, ” It will all start here !” MASTER NOGGIN will be the place that will link you to my other Noggin product sites or Niche Sites. And they may also be offered on
this site as well. And I will be putting up a video soon but I have to get a hair cut first my wife tells me..(but I don’t know if I want to cut it off)…
Take Care and as always, Strive each day to reach a new level of growth in your personal, spiritual and business life,
To New Levels,

PPC Search Engine Advertising
Affordable PPC search engine advertising
PPC search engine advertising is by far the most affordable form of advertising available. PPC search engine advertising is a flourishing business that by 2008 is expected to reach $ 8 billion. PPC search engine advertising is about producing leads. Creating leads will help potential buyers find the specific website that will provide them with the product or service they need.
However, PPC search engine advertising does not end there. It is important to understand that although PPC search engine advertising generates leads, it is also important for users to find relevant information at the website they are directed to. Information is a valuable asset in PPC search engine advertising that is often left unchecked by many websites. Keep in mind that users are more likely to purchase products or services from a company that provided them with the necessary information they needed in the first place.
Qualified traffic with PPC search engine advertising
One of the benefits of PPC search engine advertising is that it provides qualified traffic to a specific website. Users that click on a PPC ad are those in search of a particular product or service. This helps eliminate unnecessary clicks from non-prospective buyers that only produce expenditures not profits. PPC search engine advertising is also the fastest way to get a reasonable return on investment.
A bidding process is used to establish the price of a specific keyword. In general, the budget for PPC search engine advertising may be a $100 to $100,000 depending on the number of keywords used. These prices can skyrocket in just minutes as more and more sites bid for the same keyword thus causing the prices to jack up.
PPC ads are placed alongside search engine results to which they are relevant. The highest bids for a specific keyword or phrase gets top billing on the search engine results page. Getting top placement provides greater odds for a PPC ad to get clicked by a qualified searcher.
Elements of PPC search engine advertising
PPC search engine advertising involves three basic elements; constant monitoring, response analysis and refinement as the essential factors involved in PPC search engine advertising. Proper management of PPC search engine advertising can result in big profits for a website.
PPC search engine advertising makes it possible for sites to monitor the productivity of each PPC ad they place. This gives a site the opportunity to turn off any PPC ad that is not performing at its best. PPC search engine advertising provides the most economical way for a site to advertise on the World Wide Web.
The cost entailed in PPC search engine advertising is dictated by the clicks made on a particular PPC ad. The number of clicks made on a PPC ad is subtracted from the initial amount paid by the business to a search engine company. To minimize cost and maximize return on investment, a business will have to regularly monitor its PPC search engine advertising campaign.
How to use PPC search engine advertising
Many businesses are unable to get the most out of their PPC search engine advertising campaign. PPC search engine advertising involves a lot more than just bidding on the highest keywords. Information is a main concern of many online users.
Providing online users with relevant information they need will help bring about a more long-term relationship with an online user that will more likely result in a sale. Information provided to online users may be in the form of a newsletter or e-zine that online users would likely sign up for. Sign-ups may be enough to cover the expenses of a PPC search engine advertising campaign.
Sign-ups also help generate leads for websites as they build opt in list from qualified online searchers who clicked their PPC ad. Getting personal information from qualified online searchers can be done in a variety of ways such as offering freebies for surveys or signing up for newsletters.
PPC search engine advertising is a continuous process that requires hands on supervision and a thorough understanding of PPC search engines. Businesses may opt to hire the services of a professional or do PPC search engine advertising with in-house experts. Whatever course of action is selected, a business is sure to get a huge return on investment with PPC search engine advertising.
PPC Marketing
PPC marketing – Popular method of advertisement on the Web
PPC marketing or pay per click marketing is the most popular method of advertisement employed by various websites on the Internet. PPC marketing may often be referred to as pay for position, cost per click or pay for performance. But regardless of the term used, PPC marketing is the online advertiser’s medium of choice for promoting products and services to online consumers.
PPC marketing is beneficial to both the advertiser and the consumer. Advertisers using PPC marketing only need to pay for the actual click throughs linked to their sites from search engines. At the same time as consumers are relieved of having to get annoying emails or pop-up ads for products and services.
When an online consumer searches for a specific product or service on the Internet, corresponding PPC marketing ads are also displayed alongside the results generated by the search engine. This forms a highly targeted consumer group that is more likely to purchase a specific product or service. In addition, websites get to limit their advertisement costs with the use of PPC marketing. PPC marketing is truly a winning solution for both parties.
Possible drawbacks of PPC marketing
Despite the obvious advantages of PPC marketing, there are possible drawbacks that can cancel out its benefits. One of the most common problems associated with PPC marketing is the inexperience of many people attempting to use this profitable advertisement method. Simply submitting PPC marketing ads to a search engine such as google, does not make up the entire campaign.
PPC marketing requires a calculated and systematic approach to setting up ads. PPC marketing involves the use of keywords and biddings in order to get top placement on a search engine. Getting top search engine placement helps boost traffic to a website that can easily translate into profit.
Without the necessary experience and knowledge to carry out a typical PPC marketing ad, may turn into an expensive campaign that does not convert into profit. PPC marketing ads also require continuous funding, as discontinued payments will also result in discontinued ads. This can be unfavorable for a website that has already built high rankings with their PPC marketing ads.
Bidding on keywords can also be quite costly, as the growing number of websites on the web struggle against each other to bid on the most popular keyword for their PPC marketing ad. Obviously small business websites are at a disadvantage here since big business websites are able to pay more for popular keywords related to their site. This is because most small businesses only set aside a small portion of their capital for advertisement, putting them at a disadvantage.
Running an effective PPC marketing campaign
There are a number of things that a website should consider when running an effective PPC marketing campaign. It is important to develop a marketing plan in order to get the most return on investment from PPC marketing. Selecting the most appropriate keywords that relate to the site’s business is essential in PPC marketing.
However, simply choosing the most popular keywords does not necessarily translate into profit. Selecting more specific keywords that will put a site within the first ten results of a search also gets greater awareness from online consumers. In addition, it doesn’t cost as much as getting the top spot for PPC marketing.
It is also important that a website constantly monitors the performance of their PPC marketing campaign. This will help the site modify any existing PPC marketing ad to make it more productive. At the same time any PPC marketing ad that has not proven effective can be immediately discontinued. Altering PPC marketing ads is a continuous process that many websites do in order to increase their return on investment.
Getting professional help with PPC marketing
The popularity of PPC marketing has given rise to professionals offering PPC marketing services for small and big businesses. Hiring a professional PPC marketing company is advisable for a small business without experience in PPC marketing. Most PPC marketing companies offer reasonable rates for their services and at the same time produce acceptable results.
A PPC marketing professional can attend to all the details commonly involved in a PPC marketing campaign. Handling a PPC marketing campaign is a time consuming process that can be overwhelming for a small business. A PPC marketing professional can help set up a PPC marketing campaign and later on train someone from within the business to handle it to ensure its continued success.
The Right Blogging Platform For Your Needs
The Right Blogging Platform For Your Needs
Choosing which blogging platform to use is one of the most important decisions that you can make as a blogger. The right platform can make blogging a breeze, and the wrong platform can make blogging a chore. Because the program that you use to blog with is such a powerful part of your blogging experience, it is well worth putting in the time to find a platform that provides your ideal balance between a user-friendly interface and a flexible framework that allows you to make your blog look and feel unique. Finding the right platform isn’t always easy, but with a little bit of contemplation and a little bit of research, you will be on your way to finding the perfect blogging platform.
Deciding what your priorities are in terms of ease of use versus customization. Most highly customizable blogging platforms, like moveable type, are a bit more difficult to use than very automated platforms like wordpress. If you are new to blogs and to internet technology, you might want to sacrifice the ability to create a custom background design or to integrate a unique font into your template in order to find a program that will be easy for you to use. On the other hand, if you are a veteran web designer with knowledge of html or javascript, you will probably find the limitations of a user-friendly platform to be frustrating.
There is no such thing as a blogging platform that is objectively the best platform, because every blogger has unique needs. The blogging movement is very much about individuality, so it makes plenty of sense that there would be many different platforms available that are designed to meet the needs of different kinds of individuals undertaking different kinds of projects. This diversity is a good thing, because it means that you will almost certainly be able to find a program that suits your level of technical aptitude.
However, the fact that no two bloggers need the same thing from a blogging platform can make your search for the right platform a bit tricky. When you are reading reviews of different platforms, try to keep your priorities in mind and do your best to take into account the position that the reviewer is coming from. For example, a negative review written by an accomplished software designer who complains that a popular platform is too limited may tell you that the platform in question is ideal for a beginning blogger. There is no such thing as the perfect platform for everybody, so instead of looking for the “best” platform, look for the best platform for your specific criteria.

The Pros and Cons of Video Blogging
The Pros and Cons of Video Blogging
Video blogging has a lot of advantages over text-based blogging, and it is little wonder that this new technology is catching on all over the globe. Video blogs very effectively grab the attention of web surfers, and people are much more likely to become excited about the dynamic content of a video blog than they are likely to find a written posting very thrilling. The more enthusiastic viewers are about a site, the quicker the word of mouth spreads, and the more traffic the site will get.
Of course, there are plenty of disadvantages to video blogging as well. Hosting a v-blog requires quite a bit of server space, which can make it difficult to get started. It takes more time to process and upload a video file than it does to dash off a quick bit of text, which means that running and updating a video blog can be quite a bit of work. In addition, web surfers sometimes grow frustrated with the slow loading times of the files on many video blogs. Whether you opt for a video blog or not depends on what kind of subject matter you want to cover, and how much time you can devote to video blogging. Before you decide to pursue a video blog, consider if there is an easier way for you to get your message across.
