Today, we are going to look at something that is still relatively new in the Internet Marketing arena: Social Bookmarking. Social Bookmarking is essentially using a social bookmarking service to bookmark your webpages or blog posts, so that other users of the bookmarking site can visit. When you bookmark a site, you tag it with keywords, and people can search for the keywords that reflect their interests at the social bookmarking site.

Does it work? Absolutely! In fact, this is a very fast way to generate really good traffic to your site – for free. Again, you will want to try to get them on your opt-in list, once they arrive at your site, so that you can bring them back again and again. Notice that I said ‘really good traffic.’ This is good traffic because the visitor finds your site by searching for the keywords that you’ve used when you bookmarked it. They are essentially looking for you. For this reason, it is important to use keyword tags, for each page, that are absolutely relevant to the content on that page. Don’t try to use unrelated keywords, this tactic simply won’t work.

There are numerous social bookmarking sites out there, and hitting them all, to bookmark each page of your website, could literally take days, if not weeks. Fortunately, there are social bookmarking services that will send your bookmarks and tags to numerous social bookmarking sites in one fell swoop.

You want a service that targets the best social bookmarking sites, and that service is Only Wire, at http://www.onlywire.com. Only Wire is free to use (another bonus). Getting set up with Only Wire takes a couple of hours, because you will need to go to each of the social bookmarking sites that it lists, register, and then put your username and password for each site into the list at Only Wire.

Once that is done, you will add the Only Wire icon to your browser toolbar (very easy to do – you just click, hold the mouse button down, and drag and drop it up there). Now, you are all set up. When you are ready to bookmark your pages, first go to the Only Wire site and login. Leave that window open. Open another window (tabbed browsers work great for this), go to your site, go to a page that you want to bookmark, and hit the icon.

You will be taken to the Only Wire add a bookmark page. Here, everything is filled in, except your keyword tags. List the keywords that are associated with the page you are bookmarking, and hit submit. You’re done with that page – move on to the next one. Nothing could be easier, and again, it is very effective.

Homework Assignment: Join Only Wire at http://www.onlywire.com . Register for each site on the list, and get Only Wire all set up. Add the bookmark icon to your browser toolbar, and go to each page of your website, click the icon, and add it to the social bookmarks and tag each page with keywords.

There is a big difference between wants and needs and when you are faced with excess debt then the only thing you really need to focus on are your needs and how you are going to pay for them.

You don’t need to own the latest wide screen television or an X-Box or PlayStation. If you’ve got overwhelming debt then one of the first things you need to do is start limiting luxuries. Now this doesn’t mean you are going to downgrade your lifestyle at all because along with all these luxuries that you’ve been purchasing your lifestyle has been downgraded considerably with the increased stress and financial burden you are faced with every day.

Now consider how much happier you would be if you didn’t have to pay back all that debt. Consider how much happier you would be if you didn’t have to think about how you are going to pay the food bill at the end of the week.

Once you start putting these factors into perspective you can see how the purchase of luxuries that might possibly give you a few moments of pleasure have added a whole lot more stress and strain to your lifestyle and have actually limited the things that you can do on a daily basis.

Wouldn’t you like to trade in some of those appliances that you never use for less stress and more time to get out and enjoy yourself? Wouldn’t you like to trade them in with a chance to take a short holiday away from the worry is that are constantly on your mind at the moment?

Now is the best time for you to start looking at these luxuries and consider the benefits they have given you and the downside that you are living with.

When in debt limit or eliminate your luxuries and those that you have and don’t need – cash up and use the money to pay off some of your debt. You will be a lot happier in the long-term.
