Note: This is a reworking of a previous article I wrote back in 2003 for the independent musicians and songwriters that dropped by my songwriting resource, The Muse’s Muse. Here’s a completely revamped version specifically for voice actors that I hope will help you all out.
Before I began doing voice overs full time, I was in the Internet Marketing business. I started that back in 1995 when the web was a MUCH smaller place. But there are some concepts that really haven’t changed much, even from back then – and a lot of them have to do with making your website as accessible to the search engines as possible. You’d be really surprised how many folks miss out on this particularly important concept.
Here’s the thing: unless you’re a household name, no one’s going to be searching for your unique voice over services by your name alone. They’ll use keywords. Those keywords might be things like, “professional voice over” or “male voice actor” or “female voice actor” – or any host of other ones that might apply. You want to make sure that you choose keyword phrases that are two or three words so that you’re specific enough not to be competing with millions for the same keyword, but with enough people searching for them to drive traffic to your site. Choosing the proper keywords to market yourself over the Internet – and where to place those keywords (hint: not just in your keyword meta tag!!) – is an article in and of itself though, so I’ll merely say that building a website so full of doodads and whatsits that the search engines can’t “see” half of it, is a *bad idea*.

Goodmorning folks,
It’s a special day today because that project I told you I was working on just got finished.

The project is taking up a bit more time than expected ... I actually wanted to have it ready by today and available for download but after getting the advice of some of my fellow bloggers I've decided to spend a little more time fixing it up and making it look pretty. Also, yes I'm trying to be as ambiguous as possible so as to keep

So a couple of weeks have passed since I posted part one of this article which is:
Tips for Becoming Self-Employed & Staying That Way. but the fact remains that this is a pretty big subject and allot of good can be distilled from the Internet-Collective of thinkers and those-who-have-taken-that-path before us.
I’ll start where we left off last time which is leaving the house at least once a day … and that was tip #6.

As promised the following are images of my trip to the Holy cities of Makkah and Madina. During this visit I made a Minor Pilgrimage (Umrah in arabic).
I’m sure some of these images will seem quite exotic to you so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
