You have heard it many times: To rank higher in the search engines, you have to increase the quality of links pointing to your website. This is known as backlink building and when done effectively, can take your website from obscurity to first and second page ranking.

However, you have to do this just right as doing it the wrong way will more than hurt your search engine rankings. In actual fact, it will get your website banned from the search engines. So, the question is how do you do it just right? There are actually many ways to do this including the buying of text links, directory submission and all that. But the three ways you can do that without spending a fortune is by doing the following:

- Write articles and get them submitted to article directories. Mind you that article directories with a PR –Page Rank- that is less than 3 is not worth submitting to. The very few you should go for are those with PR 5,6 and 7. These ones have high authority to the search engines and are deemed reliable. So links coming from them simply means that your website is highly reliable and can be trusted for relevant information.

- Post in forums. I do not mean that you should spam the forums. Create a signature link with your website as the link in your profile in any high traffic forum. Do not go for forums that are less than PR5.

- Use Social Bookmarking websites. Any website that is bookmarked by these websites are indexed and ranked favorably in a very short while as they are deemed reliable websites; also known as authority websites. Backlinks from these websites are extremely valuable and will help your website ranking.

So, if you want to build your backlinks, start doing all these now and you’ll start seeing tangible results in as little as one month.

Going public, the ultimate in the evolution of companies who are seeking access to powerful global finance options for rapid expansion, deepening corporate roots and gaining industry prominence as a true powerhouse and player. The process of going public is technical yet pretty straight forward: business plan, Private Placement Memorandum, Direct Public Offering, Financial Audit, S-1 filing, SEC comments phase, SEC approval, FINRA approval, symbol and then you’re public.

Never price shop for consultants that take companies public and be weary of consultants that will start off a conversation by answering questions geared toward price and giving you quotes without understanding your business first; without the proper information a realistic quote can’t be given anyway.

When you’ve found a consultant that you’re comfortable with you’ll need to get a solid understanding of their full range of services. Of course you’ll want a consulting firm that will handle all of the above for your company but you’ll also need to consider the post IPO services. What happens after you’re public? The reality is, selling off stock in a rapid fashion to raise capital is the last thing you want to do, instead you need to approach your consultant and market maker on how to cross collateralize your securities to raise equity loan capital.

This can be done easily and quickly if you’ve brought on the right group of advisers to expand your company to the global public. When considering the idea of taking your company public it’s important to note that there are many ways to raise capital after you are public without selling off chunks of your company (consult your financial advisers for more information).

Next, when deciding on a consultant they should also have solid investor relationships to assist your company in raising the capital necessary to go public. A true turn-key consultant will have a database of investors seasoned in the process of pre-IPO finance and will often times jump at the chance of investing in the PPM and DPO phase at a discount for companies that are in the process of going public as this almost guarantees that the investor will double or triple their initial investment when the company achieves public status.

Out of the hundreds of consulting firms that offer the ‘take your company public’ service, there are only a dozen or so that actually offer the complete full range of services needed to successfully accomplish public status in a way that maintains investor confidence and corporate longevity. Do your research and find a firm that is well seasoned in the turbulent waters of this industry.

If you are a sole proprietor–a person who runs a business that has not been incorporated—the IRS is targeting you.

You are a sole proprietor if you operate your business without forming a corporation or an LLC.

IRS form Schedule C is used by sole proprietors to deduct business expenses against business income. The two biggest problems for the IRS are fears that income will be under reported and personal expenses will be written off as business deductions.

Many fraudulent businesses have been discovered by the IRS, since business losses can be used to reduce tax liability, enabling the taxpayer to claim the earned income credit, i.e. free money.

That’s why schedule C is the IRS’ most audited form. Simply having a schedule C in your return results in more scrutiny by the IRS.

Isn’t that reason enough to stay away from schedule C?

The IRS targets services businesses–hair stylists,home services and repair persons in addition to professional careers like doctors, lawyers, computer networking people and insurance agents.

The best strategy for service businesses and professionals is to change the way their business is reported.

In other words, AVOID SCHEDULE C!

The solution is to incorporate or form an LLC.

An S-corporation is an excellent alternative to the taboo schedule C. There are many benefits to forming an S-Corp, mainly the fact that S-Corporations don’t pay self employment tax—the additional 15.3% tax due on the profit from a sole proprietorship or partnership.

If you form an LLC to get away from schedule C, you must have other members (partners) in the organization. A single member LLC must file a schedule C, so you would be back in the same boat. Or you could elect to file as an S-corporation, or a partnership by filing a form 8832 (Entity Classification Election) to be classified as another entity.

Please consult a tax professional to help you make the right decision regarding your entity choice. You may have extenuating circumstances which may call for a different plan of action.

ACCELERATION THROUGH PACING:

Hand movements can cause improvement of reading speed. Now I’ll introduce to you the well-known pacing movement. It uses your index finger of your dominant hand, i.e. right handed use right hand, to scan a line by running your finger under the type you are reading. Always turn the page with the unused, non-dominant hand. Don’t move your head, keep it still.

It’s simple. Just replace all your bad reading habits with one easily learned one: You’ll use your pacing hand. It breaks each of these habits automatically while it increases your reading speed.

To understand this concept, you must understand that your nemesis “The Babbler” is reading to you in silent speech and then it goes into your brain. We did experiments in Hawaii, New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere. It appears that those with the slowest speaking rates have naturally slow reading rates. With this method, your speaking rate will no longer limit your reading speed. You can read as fast as you can think. What I am saying is you can read as fast as your mind can work.

Here’s the method to begin pacing across a line faster than you can form the sounds in your throat:

Extend your index finger, close all others.

As the economy worsens and banks continue to crash and the US dollar is losing its place as the world currency American entrepreneurs need alternative funding solutions that cater to ongoing capital needs that take advantage of the international finance stage as opposed to domestic institutional lenders.

Many companies, for the first time, are considering going public as a viable option but where does one start on this trek? How much does it cost? What type of lawyer and consultants do I need? Who sells my stock? Etc.

The reality is, going public is fairly straight forward if you have a product or service that lends itself to an invest-able option to global financiers. The process of a start-up or small/medium size business going public usually begins with the basic business plan (50 to 100+ pages in length) and a Private Placement Memorandum (Regulation D Rule Exemptions 504, 505 or 506).

The company would then do an initial round of funding with accredited investors with a mini/maxi built into the offering circular that makes it possible to reach a simple benchmark that would allow the company to start using the investment cash for growth via public offering using OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards); this is the quickest and cheapest way to go public being that 99.9% of companies don’t have the liquidity and time in business to qualify for an IPO. There are several things that a company can do to make your capital raise a pleasure and not a nightmare. Start with a solid market maker that will commit to putting forth a dominating effort to sell your shares. The next thing you need to do is put a face and a voice to the company. Hire a publicist and pick an executive, usually the CEO or CFO, set up, daily interviews on radio and TV to promote the company and as you do this you will begin to see instant results. Another thing is to send out articles and press releases focusing on every single positive point, contract and strategic partners, feed that publicity machine. Branding is another powerful aspect to raising capital. Make your brand and image something that people see on online and in magazines. A solid publicist will do wonders for you. Get your press releases going on the wire to broker dealers and market makers and other stock promoters.

Fund raising has been complicated by unethical companies that are looking to create capitalization angles for themselves whether they are the business raising capital or the broker dealer buying and selling their stock. Done honestly, there is no reason a company with a viable business concept can’t be successful in raising capital quickly and easily being sold on the public market.
