OK, so how can we get more time out of our 24 hour days?  Please someone tell me why time goes by so fast since I started doing my business on the computer.  There are days that I sit and ponder, how in the world I was a "stay-at-home...24 hour on demand...mom" for 25 years and I did everything I needed and had to to raise and take care of my family. 

As I look back at the end of my days now with all of this computer time, I just can't help but wonder where time is going.  I have been told that it goes even faster as we grow older...YIKES, at 51 it is already going at the speed of light!

A friend sent me this information, so that I can read, learn and do more!!!!  It is so valuable that I would like to pass it on to you.  I am not sure where it came from or who wrote it, as I would like to give credit where credit is due.
Although I am sure it was meant as info to be passed along. 

I did check out the sites and they all look very interesting and I believe can be of vlaue to your business or if you are in need of researching for a project for school.  At any rate, make sure you take a look yourself.

If you have any marketing materials like brochures, presentations, a special report or white paper that you give to prospects, then you must check out the following three websites – they could very well be a goldmine of quality traffic for your business!

The 3 sites are:

- scribd.com
- docstoc.com
- slideshare.com

So what’s so exciting about these sites you ask?

#1. They’re free to use. Which is great for those who have a tight marketing budget.

#2. Hardly any networkers know or use these sites – so that gives you a huge leg up on your competition.

#3. You can upload just about any document you want and it will be automatically converted into a PDF file and instantly available for viewing and downloading.

This is VERY EXCITING because not only will people read your article, they’ll also download your documents and share them with their friends – thereby helping you spread the word about your business, and before you know it, you’ll start getting people who have never heard of you or seen any of your ads start visiting your site in droves!

In case you still don’t “get it” – these sites give you the ability to create a viral marketing monster and explode your business practically overnight!

And finally …

#4. All of these sites allow you to track the downloads and see which documents are the most popular!

Now do you see why I’m so excited to share these sites with you?

But before you go off and start posting just anything, let me share with you two simple tips to help you get the maximum value from these sites:

Tip #1. Don’t post rehashed or poor quality content.

People go to these sites for quality information. So post quality information. Remember, whatever you put online is a direct reflection of you and your business philosophies whether you realize it or not.

Do you want to project a successful and professional image or a sloppy and unprofessional image? Post accordingly to your answer.

Tip #2. Keep it short, sweet, simple and to the point. Your post and “freebie” shouldn’t be the next War and Peace.

You want to give people the meat and potatoes quickly. But you also want to tease them a little in order to get them to visit your website.

It’s a fine line to walk because on one hand, you want to give away great information, but on the other, you want to hold back a little in order to encourage and entice them to visit your website and opt-in.

A great “trick” is to offer an extra bonus secret or gift at the end of the report, all they have to do to get it is visit your website and opt-in.

Hope this helps.
