Should Making Money Be Your Primary Objective in Online Marketing?

I have had the very rare opportunity to meet and discuss search engine optimization with all kinds of people. People from every income level, every walk of life, every age and every ethnic background. It seems like one top that people are more interested in that anything else is making money. I hear the "I can't make any money or I have to make money" scenario almost daily. Desperation sometimes rears its ugly head in the form of not having enough to make ends meet. You know what? I have been there many times.

The lack of money is one of the problems that people face daily. For some it may mean the difference between them eating that day and for others it could be something like not having enough money to buy that new car or home. Same problem with different circumstances involved.

Psychologically when people become snared in the money trap, it is devastating. They depend on that fix to be able to buy what they desire. It is an occurrence that I believe happens daily to people in real life and on the internet as well.

Let's look at the internet. Nowhere on this planet are there more possibilities to obtain money. I know that you have the same emails touting programs that will make you rich in a week or month and other, more subtle hints like software programs designed to automate your marketing and give you ultimate online success with absolutely no effort at all. Just plug in your $197 and get ready for success.

The funny thing about these programs is that they are absolutely not needed. There are no magic carpets that will whisk you away to ultimate success ville. There are none! There are no software programs that will ultimately lead to your success. I repeat none. You have right in front of your face the very elements and systems that you need to have success online. The process of search engine optimization is not difficult at all. You must have clear and bold ideas on how to promote your program and that can be done very inexpensively and very effectively as well. Imagine for a moment that you could build a website for almost no money with all the elements that the search engine spiders of Google require for zero dollars! I will say that again, you can build a website for nothing and set about the promotions process for absolutely nothing invested but your time. Imagine the possibilities in this. You could take any website that you can build and promote that site to the spiders for no money. All you need is what you have before you. Those elements would be time, a computer, and the burning desire to place information live on the internet.

It really is that simple and that complex as well. Article submission websites are a great place to promote your product and services. The trick with ezine articles is that the content of your article must not be an advertisement. It must be good relevant information about the program or service that you are promoting. In other words you are going to have to know exactly what your program is really all about without the hype and fanfare of "making you rich in a week."

This process is amazing to watch as most people do not have a clue as to what their program really is. Most times they will find out that there is nothing to the program at all. Its just smoke and mirrors pretending to be real and having the capability of making money from absolutely no substance at all. We see these types of programs running rampant on the net all the time.

If you have found a good program with a product that you believe in that is great. Your job from that point is to set about the internet marketing journey of promoting that site.

The key element in any successful seo campaign for a website is consistency. You must be diligent in your desire to drive that site to top positions on Google. Dogged determination and calluses on your fingertips will be the end result of your efforts. This is nothing easy to accomplish. There are no shortcuts. It requires tremendous effort on your part.

I personally find great satisfaction in this process. I will build a very simple search engine friendly website and go about my way placing information through press releases and ezine articles. After a period of time, I research the keyword phrase I am attempting to land in. Magically the website appears on page one of Google. My efforts have paid off. I am getting visitors to that site and possibly, if they like the content of my site, they will contact me for more information. Its called internet marketing. The objective of the seo campaign is not the money that you will make from the project, but the wonderful information you have gathered along the way that will lead to your ultimate online success!

So, is money the main objective? I think not. I see this whole arena as the possibility to have success that far outweighs any amount of money made. If only money is the chief objective of online marketing, perhaps it would be better to get a "real" job. The process of visualizing what you wish to accomplish and staying focused until your goal is achieved is paramount in the success online adventure.

Make Money Fast Without Spending Money

This method is know as bum marketing which essentially means not spending any money on your marketing efforts. Although this does not require an investment of money it does require an investment of time. Bum marketing as its known requires a certain degree of patience as the fruits of your labor may not be realized immediately. However you can speed up this process by implementing the right techniques.

Beyond the requirement of patience you need focus, determination and diligence. Let's begin with diligence. The first phase of bum marketing requires research. If you do a half assed job here your results will be poor. The key aspect of bum marketing is to find a niche that has low competition and a high volume of searches. Once you have identified this niche you need to find keywords that fit the above criteria.

When you have those keywords compiled in a list you are then going to write some articles with those keywords in your title and spread throughout the body of your article. Then in the bio box you will have a link back to your web page that will contain that keyword in the anchor text. Your web page will also have that keyword in the title and throughout the body. This indicates a high level of relevance for that keyword to the search engines..

With a number of links pointing back to your web page with this keyword you will find that the web page containing that keyword will rise in the search engines, eventually getting to the top ten giving you lots of free traffic. However not only that. The actual article itself can also show up on the first page of the search results for that keyword sometimes within a month of writing depending on the keyword competition.

So this is why the initial research phase requires due diligence. You need to take the time to research it properly. Determination is required so that you stick with it and even when it feels like you are getting nowhere you push on and constantly improve and integrate new ideas.

Then finally focus on the job on hand. Do not spread yourself thin doing multiple marketing methods. Take it one step at a time and get it right.

Comments on Aga Khan Board

Examination is one of the core focused parts of assessing students capability, which helps them to know that what they have learned during their academic year. If the examinations are not conducted in a proper flow, then there might be a chance of loosing some brilliant stars of the future ahead. In the recent years, we have seen that the problems such as lack of transparency in examination, unexpected marks, wrong assessment system, bribery, rote learning based curriculum, inefficient books, etc., have become a routine of all the boards in our country, which made people to think about the revival of the education system in Pakistan.

Many initiatives are being taken by our government to increase the literacy rate of our country, but no body is clearly changing the wrong-implemented education and examination system policies, which needs to be focused vividly. Although, there are around 27 boards, which are catering examination in Pakistan, e.g. Sindh Board, Federal Board, etc., but despite of all their efforts, students are not satisfied yet with the assessment and education system.

After analyzing all these problems, The Aga Khan University took this initiatives and after the approval, formed a board, and claimed that the students will be given chance to show their capability without having any unfair with them. The AKU-EB was created in response to a group of schools in Karachi , who appealed to Aga Khan University for an alternate examination board that encouraged the development of reasoning in the students. On the encouragement of the Government of Pakistan, AKU-EB was granted the approval through an Ordinance in November 2002. The AKU-EB also claimed and emphasized that their examination system will be free from all the flaws. When the Parents and students heard of this board, they gradually took interest and entered their children to the schools, which catered The Aga Khan Board Examination System. Finally, all the students and parents were happy to see the bright future of their children. The schools started teaching the AKU-EB curriculum from 2005.

The board gave certain guidelines to the schools and teachers about the course books and how it was to be taught; but the proper explanation of the curriculum was not given to the teachers professionally, due to which they failed to deliver that to the students. Most of the schools even not recommended the standard books to the students to practice from, and thus based the curriculum on rote learning as same as of other boards. Few of the schools even forced their students to learn Sindh Board Books for the examination.

This all happened because the proper guidance of books was not given to all the schools offering AKU-EB. Only few schools such as Habib Girls, Nasra School, etc., teachers were planned and knew every thing about the curriculum; but what was the fault of the other teachers, who were not given the proper guidance by the AKU-EB.

The course teaching methodology and the books of all the schools are different from each other. Although the curriculum is approved by the Ministry of Education, but the books, according to the new examination pattern is not yet developed. The Aga Khan Board just developed their approved Urdu Book, which is out of the minds of students due to irrelevant selected chapters. Even the methodology of learning and its objectives and evaluating exercises at the end of the chapter are not given at all. Due to inappropriate knowledge about the subject books, students worries what to learn and from where.

In the year, 2006, the first Mock Practice examination took place, in which around all the Aga Khan Board approved schools participated. This examination was held to prepare the students for the future burdened composite examination. The results were announced and seeing the worst ever results never expected, students got shock. One of the brilliant students of Hampton School answered the question that despite of maintaining the highest score in his school examinations, he got the least percentage in the mock examination. Another student of the Progressive Public School answered that he failed in all the subjects, although he was pre- planned and mentally prepared to give the mock papers. It is truly said that whenever a professional work is to be done, it is to be done with the pre-planning. But The Aga Khan Board lacks the professional curriculum development. AKU-EB does not understand the requirement of the students and teachers yet.

The new evaluation system was although encouraged in Pakistan, but the miserable course outline is burdening the students and teachers. Although the curriculum is approved, but The Aga Khan Board failed to developed teacher resource books. AKU-EB is just giving the names of the topics, knowing the facts, that the teachers in Pakistan require vigorous trainings in education before teaching. Most of the schools are hiring the teachers to teach the Aga Khan Board curriculum, who are just a Graduate. Moreover, the workbooks developed by the Aga Khan Board are not very interesting due to which, the schools such as The Aga Khan school teachers gave the workbooks to the students to fill it from home in just a one day, despite of knowing the fact, that this work book needs to be completed along with the chapters. Especially the English Workbook is a burden for students, because even the teachers of most of the schools don't know how to fill it. This year, the composite examination of the Aga Khan Board also took place in which at least 21% students are declared as fail.

The curriculum was too heavy to meet the mind level of the students. Plus the composite examination system is considered as one of the burdens on Pakistani students. The brilliant students, whose phenomenal works were once appreciated by the schools, got the least percentage in their composite examination this year. Few of the students also complained that many irrelevant questions came in their examination from the chapters, which were not even explained in the academic year by the schools. When we interviewed some schools teachers, they told us that they were not aware about the irrelevant topics that came in the paper. One of the brilliant students, Hussain did not get admission in the Aga Khan College, because he was told that his marks are not competitive. But the teachers of his schools told us, that he was the best student of the school throughout the academic year. Another student ABC torn his mark sheet and left the AKU-EB forever. Most of the private colleges have not taken AKU-EB students in their colleges due to low mark scores. The second mock papers were also held this year for the second batch students of the AKU-EB. The results shocked most of the students, because most of the students are declared as fail in at-least one of the subject. One student XYZ told me that she is good at Mathematics and she had also given the O-levels examinations 2 years back, but joined the Aga Khan Board to compete the Pakistani students. But knowing, that she failed in her Mathematic paper, distressed her. Another student Zehra told us, that most of the questions in Chemistry, Mathematics and specially Islamiat were given that were not included in their school curriculum and were not taught to them. One more revealing truth, which unveiled was the lack of transparency in the examination board. Due to certain city circumstances, few of the mock papers were delayed in most of the schools. But it was taken in few of the schools on the commenced day, due to which the paper leaked out. I personally saw three Mock Papers theft by the students of some schools, where the mock papers were held on the same commenced day.

They sold that paper to the students, whose paper was postponed. This view alarmed me. One of the student, Munawwar, who bought that paper got the highest marks in his mock papers, although failed in those subjects in his school examination.

Half of the population of the students is now planning to shift towards the Matric examination board again, because their wishes to get good marks ended in smoke after seeing the results. The new students, who set their mind to join AKU-EB, are still thinking whether to join this board or not. I personally believe that the Aga Khan board is one of the best future boards of our country, but it requires proper flow to move on. The books are not planned. The teachers of the AKU-EB are not pre-planned. Students are not well informed how to move on for their examination practice. The course book has not yet developed by the AKU-EB for the students. The course is unexpected in the examination. The workbooks are not being implemented properly and even teachers feels burden to make students fill that. The mock papers 2007 leaked out, is also an issue of concern. The board is charging the highest re-checking fees from the Pakistani students, although claiming that this board is for every class of students in Pakistan. The marking system in examination is not customary in the conceptual questions. Student's opinions are not given priority at all.

Few of the school students decided to leave the Aga Khan Board and joined the Sindh Board, despite of knowing the fact that the Sindh Board has the lack of transparent system of examination. But they are assured that at least they can get their expected marks in that board.

At present the Secondary School Certificates of the public sector examination boards is not accepted overseas, but at least, their mark schemes are not very embarrassed.

Most of the private colleges are not accepting AKU-EB students due to their low scores, but the Sindh board students got approval in most of the private colleges due to their good grades. One of the brilliant students XYZ got 90% in her Sindh Board Examination this year. She told me that if she would have appeared in the AKU-EB paper, she might have failed to get such good percentage. This expression of one of the students shows that the AKU-EB needs to re-evaluate their policies according to the expectations of the future leaders of our country. The AKU-EB is the only hope in the eyes of the future students. They want this board to function properly so that they could also enter this board. Although this board has brought many changes in our examination system and has developed a challenging task for other boards to compete, but if they amend certain policies, then, doubtless, this board would be the best board of Pakistan in the future ahead.
