Social Networking IT
Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 in Computers
Owing to the enormous success of such social networking sites as Friends Reunited, MySpace and Facebook, Xorianous.com is the latest entry into the world of online communication. Yet, while the big players in this field take a generic approach of building communities of people who share interests and activities, Xorianous.com is specific in its aim: to unite and reunite Cypriot villagers around the world. This innovative scheme belongs to Tas Georgopoulos, Director of Xorianous Limited and Swift Digital Solutions Limited. Georgopoulos, 33, wants to reunite first-generation Cypriots, as well as enlighten the second and third generation about their origins and family. He explains where the concept for the project came from. When you meet somebody of Cypriot origin, the same old questions arise: Where are you from? What village are your parents from? Whilst in my local delicatessen, I got talking to the owner and naturally, we began talking about our parents villages. It just so happened that he was from the village next to my mothers. This planted the seed for the website, and since Cypriots continually try to find associations amongst themselves, I thought an accessible and user-friendly database is the most efficient way of connecting people. Indeed, the site is straightforward and getting registered could not be simpler. Registration is free, where each members profile page lists the villages of both their parents, as well as providing a direct match with other users from the same village. Each member can register up to four villages. In order to post a message to, or receive a message from another user requires a minimal, annual payment of 12.50. In nearly two weeks of the website going live, Xioranous.com has received over 16,000 hits from Cypriots from all over the globe, including the UK, Canada, Australia and Cyprus to name but a few. Since Late November 2007 the site has reached over 60,000 hits and is still growing. Moreover, it has gained newspaper exposure in a Cypriot tabloid, a UK Greek Newspaper as well as continued media interest. The site is constantly developing, with plans to include photo libraries for each individual village, along with a brief history and current events happening in and around the areas. If ever there was a way to unite and reunite Cypriots, Xorianous.com is it. As a community, we can learn more about our origins and history, as well as maintain the Cypriot culture amongst the younger generations for years to come.

If You Want To Start A Coaching Business Use Articles To Market It
Posted on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 in Internet
If you are looking to start a coaching business, one of the best ways to get clients is to write articles around your keyword phrases. Within these articles, you want to provide links at the conclusion of the article where you promote yourself and send them back to your website. This promotion is referred to as the resource box and this is where you put your website link. If possible, make sure the link is clickable for your keyword. For example: ?John Smith specializes in performance based coaching for individuals looking to get the most out of their business or life. He is currently offering a personal coaching consultation complementary that you can sign up for on his website.? (?Personal coaching? is the keyword that would be a link your readers would click on to go to your website as this is one of the words you may want to target for a coaching business.) Once your reader visits your website from your link, you need to provide him or her with a clear action step. Many people who start a coaching business offer complementary coaching sessions, which you can offer on your website. When they sign up for their complementary coaching session, if you offer a product like an ebook or physical book, you should offer them your product for sale. Once you have written a number of articles, the next step is to start promoting them to all of the major article and ezine directories. There is a major reason why you want to do this. Website owners love to use free articles to share with their website visitors. They do not care if you promote your website in your resource box because they get to use your article. By doing this, it creates a one way backward link to your website for your keyword. The number of links like this that you have is one factor search engines use to determine your ranking. So here is an overview of this strategy in a nutshell. To start a coaching business you provide great article content and allow other website owners to use it. The only requirement is that they have to credit you as the author. This is where the resource box comes in, because it has your name as well as a link back to your website. As you continue to submit articles over the internet, you will have more and more links coming back to your website. For example, if one of your articles is used by 200 websites, that gives you 200 links that are going back to your website. Keep in mind article marketing is one of the best strategies for you to use to generate potential clients for your business. It does this through exposure as well as through helping your search engine positioning. As a result, you should be able to attract new clients as you start a coaching business.
