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