| It's almost a given that at any time in the United States | | | | recently began thinking of what I could do next. I'll be |
| and around the world some form of Law and Order | | | | honest here. I read all the same articles, websites and |
| can be seen on television. The show's creators have | | | | all the hype of building site after site just disgustingly |
| done a tremendous job of franchising this brand. So | | | | loaded with keywords to generate Adsense income. I |
| what can we, as entrepreneurs and small business | | | | seriously considered these options. Now, I am not an |
| owners, learn from this example? Once we establish | | | | expert on these matters, so that very well may work |
| ourselves in the marketplace for our first line of | | | | for some people. It's just not something that I could get |
| business, we should not be afraid of branching out.Just | | | | excited about. I felt like I needed to find something that I |
| look at the Law and Order model. The creators | | | | really enjoyed.I did go ahead and use Wordtracker and |
| waited until they were a mainstay in viewers' weekly | | | | other keyword research tools. I started brainstorming. |
| television fix. Once they were established they brought | | | | What do I want to do? What do I like doing? And |
| out SVU. Then of course came Criminal Intent, the | | | | wouldn't you know that one of the top keywords on all |
| now defunct Trial By Jury and the latest installment | | | | those lists fit the bill! Horses. I was so excited to see |
| Conviction.Let's see how this could apply in the real | | | | that word there. I have been riding horses since the |
| world. I'll use my business as an example because I'm | | | | time I could walk and am constantly reading anything |
| very familiar with it! My main focus is on my virtual | | | | new about riding, showing, training, horse care, etc.Enter |
| assistant business. I have spent a lot of time promoting | | | | my new horse information site or in keeping with my |
| it, tweaking my website, writing articles such as this | | | | premise, my Criminal Intent. Now I know this doesn't |
| one, joining virtual assistant associations and hanging | | | | exactly follow the Law and Order doctrine but bear |
| out in various small business forums. Now, I have had | | | | with me. The success of most online business is |
| very excellent results and seen nice profits and | | | | based on ability, talent, salesmanship, promotion AND |
| growth.However, I am now at a point where promotion | | | | passion. In any business, we must be passionate about |
| of that site is not a full time endeavor. So having the | | | | what we're doing, or we will quickly burn out. In my |
| type A personality, being a bit obsessed with work like | | | | case, I've taken my hobby and put it to work for me. |
| most small business owners I know, I was looking for | | | | And although the site is young, it's quickly proving to be |
| additional places to invest my time and effort. The first | | | | another nice supplemental income.All of us need to be |
| step for me was to think of ways to use what I'm | | | | prepared for some of our ventures to fail, case in |
| already doing to further grow my empire(well, maybe | | | | point, Trial By Jury. Although I've yet to have my own |
| not quite, but I like to think big!)My first new venture or | | | | Trial By Jury, I have many ideas of future projects and |
| as I like to call it my SVU, was starting my own article | | | | am realistic. I know that not everything will work, but |
| directory. It was a very natural lateral move for me as | | | | the main thing is to keep going.I really believe that in |
| article marketing is one of my main marketing tools. I | | | | business we must look at those who have been |
| understand how important article marketing is to many | | | | successful, in any field, and learn and apply what we |
| online entrepreneurs. After all it's a free way to get | | | | can from their technique. There is a lot to learn from |
| your name out there, highlight your talent and build | | | | simply being observant of our environment, even |
| incoming links. So, I did a lot of research and decided | | | | watching TV! So thank you very much to Dick Wolf |
