Do you remember this song?

'Where have all the flowers gone' was written by Pete Seeger in the 50s, made popular in the 1960s by The Kingston trio, who allegedly recorded it after hearing Peter, Paul and Mary perform the song in concert (songfacts.com).

I dont know if I can tie that in, as it was a fleeting moment when the song floated by.

Yet, it is relative.

The song was written about the calameties of war, the loss of innocence, really, as the lives are changed, the beauty scarred, never to be seen again until the next bloom, generation, etc.

Here's the tie-in.

A few days ago I was perusing my documents folder and came upon a bunch of PDF docs from 2011.

(As you may or may not recall, these are the same files I spoke of in my recrnt post about free Images).

These pdfs were related to my initial attempt at digitsl marketing, back when the sales page ruled...

Granted, a lot has changed in the past 11 years, digitally speaking, in 2013 I learned how to code websites to make them responsive to mobile use. Today, very few themes are not mobile ready.

Same goes for the SEO.

Someone figured out how to make money by selecting a few choice methods on how to rank websites. SEO was born.

But, in reality, the same aspects of 2011 and 2022 are the same:

Write what you know, and IF the topic is interesting enough, people will find you...

Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

The main goal is to find the people who need your help, and show them better than anyone else how to ease their pain.

And how do you do this?

You follow the cookie crumb trail left by those who walk the talk.. our own ParthaB sears his own trail in the internet world and has provided us with tips on how to find the right keywords, and has also given us instruction on how to find these precious keywords.

Now its up to us to do the work! The trail has been provided, gather the crumbs that work best for you.

SEO is a tool. A suggestion.

Do an A/B test. Create a free one-page website using the seo tool/plugin of your own choosing, and create the same without using an SEO plugin. Which one ranks better?

Be carefule not to use the same content or you could get hit for plagerism/duplicate content.

I don't know about you, but I got tired of trying to conform to the everchanging SEO standards, just to satisfy google. If your websites get noticed on ANY search engine, thats great!

We get most disappointed when our gratification is not instantly fufilled.

An online business is like any other business. You must work countless hours learning and configuring your business before it starts to make a profit...or at least until it starts to bring in any sort of income, the profits will come.

Sure, some people hit the mark and score a 10, and some of us try and try and try and try and....try again before something finally takes shape.

And some people realize that making money in a quick minute isn't as possible as we were told by online gurus who swear its possible. They neglect to tell you how much work and effort they had to do before they became successful!

Do yourself a favor...be honest with yourself about creating a business online.

How much time are you willing to spend to make an online business a reality?

Creating an Online business is not for everyone, some folks will succeed, and some folks will not. And that is okay. Cut your losses, take the information youve learned and apply it to something else in your life.

As far as the opening sentence, Where have all the flowers gone, I'll leave that up to you whether or not I was able to tie it into this post...
