In the hopes of increasing the terrific momentum that MyWebResource has gained, I'm posting this announcement offering free advertisement to all webmasters who publish their content on MyWebResource. It's free, it's easy to do, and the natural links back to your site will more than make up for the five minutes it takes to post your content.
MyWebResource is a site that was initially published to list all my favorite webmaster resources. At first, it was more of a personal site where I kept all my bookmarks and projects I've worked on. Surprisingly, the site started getting a ton of hits. I found that people actually enjoyed browsing a site that had usable information about web design that is not loaded down with a million ads and is not a "free for all" link directory.
Seeing this trend inspired me to develop MyWebResource further. Several months later, MyWebResource has become a terrific resource for any webmaster where they can read articles about web design, search engine optimization, web hosting, or any other topic related to web design. Our directory of links has grown leaps and bounds. There are now over 300 reputable links in our directory that are actually useful! Our downloads section is growing too! There are now several free website templates, XOOPS themes and XOOPS modules that all are welcome to download, free of charge.

What we are looking for
We have opened up submission of quality web design related articles, links, and downloads. All you have to do is click on the appropriate link under "Add A Resource", fill out the form and submit it. One of our moderators will review your contribution to ensure that it is of good quality and will publish it as soon as possible.
How you benefit
By including a link to your website when publishing articles, links and/or downloads on MyWebResource, you receive natural links to your website with no reciprocal link required! As we all know, relevant, natural, one-way links are what feeds search engine spiders and boosts page rank and SERPs (search engine results pages). TIP: To improve the benefit of listing your content on MyWebResource, include a natural link to your site in the text. For maximum benefit, turn a primary keyword into a text link!
How MyWebResource Benefits
By contributing your content, MyWebResource will continue to grow as a noted webmaster resource. A personal benefit to me is that I don't have to spend hours looking for good information on web design, it comes to the site. This helps everyone by centralizing information and making it easier to research your design projects.
Another issue that effects page rank and SERPs is content; fresh, relevant content to be exact. By keeping the content on MyWebResource fresh, it helps boost our standings in search engines, which in turn helps increase the value of the link back to your site. As you can see, this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. ;-)
What is the catch?
There is none! MyWebResource doesn't require membership. There are no fees associated with publishing anything on MyWebResource. There are no pop-up advertisements. In fact, we have intentionally limited the number of advertisements on the site so as not to distract from the content too much. We only have enough advertisements to cover the cost of keeping MyWebResource online!
So, why are you doing this?
Pure and simple, I love web design! I want to learn as much as I possibly can about all aspects of web design and development and I want to share that knowledge with like minded people.
So what are you waiting for?! You can start getting free advertisement for your site, while contributing to a rapidly growing resource of web design knowledge right now!
I look forward to sharing knowledge with you.

3 Ways Coaches Can Use Their Site To Get More Clients
Trying to get clients can seem like a catch-22. In order to hire you, they need a strong sense of what you do. But to get that sense they need to work with you first! It's because of this hurdle that direct selling or direct response methods like cold calling or placing ads don't work. Those channels don't get you clients directly. So how can coaches deal with selling the unknown? Make it known and use your web site to do it!
Coaches have a big challenge when seeking clients. They are selling the unknown.
By unknown, I mean that most people who can benefit from coaching, whether it be business coaching or personal coaching, either never heard of it or don't really understand how it works.
When people work with a coach for the first time, there usually comes a point when they say “a ha!” and are better able understand the value they can get.
So trying to get clients can seem like a catch-22. In order to hire you, they need a strong sense of what you do. But to get that sense they need to work with you first!
It's because of this hurdle that direct selling or direct response methods like cold calling or placing ads don't work. Those channels don't get you clients directly.
Dealing with this challenge can be frustrating for many new coaches. They really want to help their clients succeed in their business or in their life, but getting the prospect to sign on the dotted line doesn't happen as often as they would like.
So how can coaches deal with selling the unknown? Make it known and use your web site to do it!
Here are 3 ways:
1 – Write web site copy in terms of “what they do know.”
Prospective clients can relate to their pains and troubles. Their pains and troubles might include not having enough time in a day, trouble sleeping at night, or not making enough money.
They can also relate to where they want to be in the future. Some examples could be having lots of income, having peace of mind and having a happier life.
So when you are writing about your services, be sure to start with things your prospect already knows about, such as their pains and their desires.
Additionally, case studies and testimonials of others you have helped would further your prospect's understanding of what you do. These examples are most effective if they are written in terms of initial problems and end results.
By explaining what you do in terms they know directly, you better communicate what you do. When prospects clearly see what they can get from working with you they are more excited and more interested in working with you.
2 – Give away free information.
Compile an article or report that is helpful to your target prospects. Choose a topic that is directly related to their problems or situations. Then make that report available on your web site for download.
This strategy has a lot of value:
• Everyone likes free helpful stuff, so they will take action to get it.
• Once created, giving it out takes almost no time to do.
• It tells the the prospect that you know their about their business, thus making you a good choice for helping them.
• Sending people to your web site creates another relationship building “touch.”
• People can refer this report to other people, increasing your visibility.
3 - Give away a free online assessment.
Create a series of questions on your web site. Then invite your visitor to answer them in return for a score and an interpretation of that score. This gives them helpful information about themselves and gives them a sample of what you do.
This technique has a lot of value similar to the report idea. It's free, doesn't take a lot of time or money to implement, it is automated, it gives value, and it can be referred to others.
Additionally, you can determine which prospects have stronger needs based on their responses. With that information, you can target your sales efforts towards them and increase your closing rate.
In conclusion, use your web site as a tool for educating your prospects. Doing this will gain more trust and grow the relationship until they eventually become your paying client.
