I sometimes say my cell phone save my life because it babysit for me [My cell phone babysitter], I can update my facebook, twitter, check email, watch videos, text… all the cool stuff a cool phone can do. But when Dan Woolley says my iPhone saves my life boy did he really mean it. Dan Woolley is one of the many people who were trap under the rubble after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hits Haiti last week. He was able to use a medical app saved on his iPhone to treat a broken foot. Then, he used the instructions from the app to treat the bleeding from cuts on his legs and the back of his head. He used his camera to take pictures of way out – I never knew the iPhone could take pictures in the dark. That was a great option for him since he couldn’t really see anything, he was looking for refuge following the pictures. He eventually ended up in an elevator shaft were he waited for 65 hours before the rescue crews found him. In his own word “I kind of had some time to do some self-diagnosis down there,” Woolley said. “God was with me.” He also used the notepad app to write his family a note in case he didn’t make it but like he said God was with him in the mist of the darkness. Not that God wasn’t with the rest of them that died… What can I say God works in mysterious ways and His plan differ from person to person. Praise be to God Mr Woollley is alive and receiving care at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. On a lighter note if he could do all that why didn’t he just call? ummh.. let me think he didn’t have the map! LOL no ATT bashing! bad bad bad Roodlyne

Since I started my online businesses some years ago I have encounter many challenges. I have learned so much through my trials and errors. This past year was the first time I have caught a break in all my ventures. I have been blessed with success in my businesses, it wasn’t easy but I’m getting there. I feel like God had put in my heart to share a few pointers with my fellow mom entrepreneurs and working mom once in while, kind of soothe the learning curve for them. Because I can tell you it is rough! You might quit before you even started. If you are just getting started here are a few guidelines to build user loyalty to you site and keep them coming back for more hence drive high traffic to your website.
1 – Content is key
First of all what do you have to offer? If you are blogging, selling a product, selling a service or whatever mean you are offering on your website is it valuable? Would you read your own blog? Would you use your own product or service? Chances are if you provide valuable content to your users they not only will keep coming back, they will refer you to their friends and their friends to their friends and so on. That is how you expand through word of mouth. How many times you go to the mall and find that they are having a good sale, do you not call your girlfriends and tell them about? I bought a Combi double stroller for my daughters just because a lady at the store had one and she told me that if was the best double stroller around. I later find out that I could have shop around some more, but that is not the point. They got my business because they were valuable to somebody so she testify in their favor. This is true for a website good content=high traffic.

2 – Scratch that.. Original content is key
Last time in [How to make money from your website]
I talk about niche, is your content, product, service original? You can’t go sell burgers in front of a McDonald. That is just plain stupid, unless your burgers are some finger licking, slap your mama kind of burger that people just can’t pass. I’m not saying to run away from the competition, because there’s nothing new under the sun what ever you can come up with someone else somewhere had probably already done it. I’m saying to make sure that your version has something original. In one of my breastfeeding classes I used to go to, I once met a mom who makes bibs. Are bibs a new concept? No but her bibs had these all around feel to it that would caught the baby’s slabs even if the baby was lying down. I thought that was very clever and all the moms agree that regular bibs don’t give you that feature. All the moms bought it including me. My point is although bibs are sold in almost every baby store around, hers was original. That goes also for a website although there are millions of websites out there; yours can still be something that people need and attract high traffic to your website.
3 – Have a heart for people
Be mindful of people, if you care about people they will care about you. It’s the golden rule Do to others as you would have them do to you. Would you keep going back to your site if it wasn’t yours? Umh.. That’s all I’m going to say.

Why do you want high traffic to your website anyway? What does more traffic mean to you? Does more traffic just mean more money or does it mean you get to serve more people? What is your primary motive? Focus on the people.

4 – Keep money in its proper place.
Don’t be greedy. Just focus on genuinely helping people and the rest will take care of itself.
Anyway Building a high-traffic website can be very challenging ugh! I know. These words of advice just sort of get your foot wet – keep learning. Most the of the time you will learn through your trial and errors, if you lucky you get to learn from someone else’s mistakes.
I guess you are lucky
