Here is a great tip for getting more traffic for your business related videos. Here is how. Run some searches in youtube for related products, themes or niches. Check the top 5 videos and copy the keywords into a word doc. Strip out the duplicates and add the compressed keyword list to your videos with minor adjustments for your particular videos. Result of doing this? Your videos will get picked up in the related searches and you will be given free traffic. So far the best I have done using this tactic was to drive over 10,000 unique views to 2 videos in less than 48 hours. I regularly get over a 1000 views in less than a day. Try it, its a no brainer.

I spent all my waking hours studying and conditioning myself to take the series 3 exam. I failed it the first time, not due to lack of knowledge, but by rushing when I started running out of time. While I have traded Forex and stocks and know that market cold, the exam is overseen by the Commodities and Futures Board. It is reported to be the 6th hardest test in the United States. Changing my strategy for taking the test, I passed the second time with a 91%. Am I any smarter? No. I was however, much clearer on what I needed to do to save time and reduce pressure.
Here are the three concrete strategies that will help you pass
1. Go all the way through the test, select B for any answer you don’t know. Skipping all hard questions. Do not waste any time yet, on these. I’ll show you why. On the blank paper provided in the test, draw two columns.
2. As you go along, record each of the questions you skipped in the two columns. One marked quick, the other marked detailed. Go through the test and quickly answer all of the questions that you know. Easy ones, gimmies, quick ones.
3. It should take you 1 hour to complete the test. Now you can take the next 2 hours to complete the detailed time consuming math problems. Also note: If the question is long and full of smoke, select B and move on. 90% chance it will be B and it was there to waste time and trap you.
I wish you success on your test.
