Packaging Yourself
I have been fired/let go three times in the past. None of these transitions were easy at the time, but they all aided in my personal development. Now I'm famous and those who fired me are not. I grew, they did not. How did I go from anonymous to world-renowned leader, entrepreneur and packaging expert extraordinaire? Let me show you my method for packaging myself.Promote yourself. The old adage your mother told you about working hard and be good at what you do is a nice idea. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work when no one knows what it is you do. We

Directories are websites listing hand-picked collections of links, sorted by categories.

Unlike search engines who use programs and scripts to scan the Internet for all public websites, directories use human editors and user contributions to build a quality index.

Submitting your website to top directories is a very important step in improving your search engine rankings and winning free organic traffic. Why? Because directories often carry a high PageRank (search engine's way of identifying the importance of a site) and having a link to your website from a top directory, will carry-over a portion of the PageRank to your site.

The task of submitting your site to directories is often a manual labor-intensive process, requiring you to go through several steps per each directory you are submitting to. Click an email verification link, provide more information about your website etc. For this reason, a misconception was created that it is sufficient to submit to the top 5 or 10 directories and be done with it.

Not true!

Submitting your site to 2,000 quality directories is a much better approach. While some links will be discounted (not counted in the eyes of the search engines) a lot of links will be counted and your site is going to enjoy better rankings, more back-links and overall more organic free traffic.

When submitting to directories, make sure you use a qualified Internet Marketing company, such as SoftwareProjects, to ensure your links are not being submitted to "link farms", black-listed directories or directories with a PageRank of zero. Make sure you receive a full report outlining all submissions as well as the PageRank of the directory page where your link lives.

The fact is, the number of customers realizing that are on the rise. Customers now tend to pay for the service offered by the company, and not the software. This pardigm shift, could be hard
