I discovered this little technique from another Internet marketer and I always wondered how they kept up to speed on what’s happening in the market. They watch videos, listen to audio in twice the speed – like Mickey Mouse and get through the content much much faster!
Here’s how to do it below:
Press play to begin streaming the audio or right click the text link and choose save as or save link.

Hey everyone, it’s Tyrone here from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s video tutorial, I want to share with you a really neat tip that I’ve discovered probably going back a few months ago and it’s really a fast way to be able to get through content that might take you 30 minutes in just 15 minutes. Basically you can cut down half of your time.
And this is how you can get through so much of the content that’s either video or audio or anything you want to listen to in a short span of time. The easiest way to do is you can download this really cool software called VLC Media Player and it’s available for both Windows and also Mac as well, too. So to get it just simply go to VLC media player and if you want to type in on Google, just type in VLC media player and it’ll come up as the first link. Simply click on it and it will take you straight to this page you see right in front of you. Just download it, install it and get up and running.
Now let me jump back straight into my own computer and I’ll show exactly what happens and how to speed up the process. All right, I’m on my computer now and I’ve loaded up just a simple 30-second media player that I want to go through and it shouldn’t take me like 15 seconds to get through this with this little method. So open up in VLC, and I’ll press play for you right now. Okay, so I’ll just pause it right there now and to increase the playback, just simply put on faster and I usually click it about twice and it’ll double time anything that gets played back. So let’s press it again.
And so forth, so as you can see it speed myself up twice the speed. Obviously you can adjust it to how fast you wanted to get through and for me, I like it probably double time because I can get through content much faster.
The reason why I recommend doing a method like this is because if you’ve got a whole course that might take you months to get through or weeks to get through and there’s hours and hours of content, a lot of times I don’t usually take on every single bit of detail so I double time it. And by double timing it and watching in double speed, I get through the content much faster and half the time. It saves you a lot of time have to sit there and wait for an hour to just get through material that might take you yeah, basically an hour taking you 30 minutes.
So this is just a little tip that I want to share with you today. You can use it an apply to anywhere you want and remember the little tip that you’ve got here or the player is called VLC media player. So go ahead, just download it give it a go, and give it a try.
Love to hear your comments and your feedback, just leave it down below on my blog and also I’ll probably hear you in the next video. So take care and see you soon. My name’s Tyrone!
The biggest challenge I have found in any Internet business is creating the right systems that will leverage your time and make money while you are not there. Our ultimate goal is establishing upfront a system that allows us to walk away from the business for at least six months and come back with more money in our bank account. This is the power of running a business online. If you can apply these systems that I show you, you will create a business you own rather than a business you run.
Where Do I Start? Let’s Help You Find Your Niche!
Many people who launched their Internet businesses successfully started with leveraging their industry experience or personal interests. You need to look at identifying market niches that are under served within those areas. Ask yourself what expertise have you gained from your life experiences that you can offer to potential clients? Or what personal interests can you look at turning into an Internet business? For me, I started the dragon boat niche business out of frustration that there was no company in Australia that offered the products I needed. As I was involved in the sport at an elite level I started hearing the same questions, “where can I buy dragonboat carbon fibre paddles?†Each time I heard that, I started to see there was a demand and took this opportunity to create an Internet business. For you, the idea would be different, but the search for an untapped niche market is an opportunity for you to create a successful Internet business.
I recommend doing some due diligence and research to find out if your idea is viable, and here are three major questions you need to ask:
Does your idea exist already?
Will it be easily identifiable?
How will I make it marketable and targeted?
A key point I want to make: looking for a profitable niche market is about finding the buyers first. From my experience, most people start off with the wrong idea and look for a product to sell first. Find out what the problems or needs are from people and provide a solution. (As I mentioned in my example, I saw a problem and offered a solution).

My last few advices to you
Today is the last day of our 21 Days SEO Mastery course. It’s now time to review all what you have learned during the past 3 weeks and see where each piece of the puzzle fits in your global SEO campaign.
Keep in mind that SEO is an art and not an exact science; we are dealing here with best guesses and probabilities to increase our chances of success.
Keyword Research
Even if you forget or want to skip most of the parts of this course for your own SEO work, there’s one element that you must focus on no matter what, and that’s proper keyword research.
Strangely, most of the people will tend to skip this step or try to expedite it as quickly as possible; that’s a huge mistake!
Your entire SEO campaign, and then to some extent your entire business online, depends on the keyword you are deciding to optimize for.
Optimize for the wrong keyword, and all your SEO effort and advertising budget will go to waste, so take your keyword research very seriously!
Plan Your Work and Strategy
There are so many things to do in SEO that it’s very easy to just waste your time, doing a bit of this and a bit of that, and failing to grasp the big picture of what you are supposed to do.
Plan your work carefully and stay focus by being accountable for your actions. Just consider steps like building 1 backlink per day, this may sounds like nothing, but if you are able to keep up this regiment, it’s worth 365 backlinks per year, and if you have been more genuine and build instead 10 links per day, you naturally add up 3,650 backlink within a year!
Let me tell you that this is no small achievement, sadly, it’s very easy to skip your schedule and start to engage into procrastination saying that you’ll catch up the building of these links the following week, and before you know it, 2-3 months have passed and you didn’t build any link while your competition is already 300 links ahead of you!

Link building is the hardest part of SEO
Today is the last real lesson of our 21 Days SEO Mastery course, as tomorrow will be used to review all what we have done.
You now almost know how to do everything regarding SEO, except one last point, and that’s link building.
In order for you to build backlinks for your site, you first need to find link partners; this is what we are going to review today.
Competitive Search
The best way is to start trying to get links from the sites your competition is getting their backlinks from.
Ideally, you are using SEO Elite and you can directly focus your work on the best links matching your SEO needs.
If not, another method is to look at the search engines backlinks results:
Type “link:competitor.com†in Google.
Type “linkdomain:competitor.com†in Yahoo.
It‘s definitely not as neat or refined as what you get with SEO Elite, but it’s better than nothing.

To be the best, you’ve to beat the bests
Top ranking sites all have something in common, and that’s the fact that they have better SEO work than all the other sites.
Not only did they do better with on-site optimization, they are dominating the search engines with their off-site optimization work.
Today I’m going to show you how to outrank those sites!
The Art of War
In order to get a top ranking in the search engines, you need not to have a perfect page, but instead, you need to have a page that is better than your competition.
This may sounds innocent, but it’s a very important concept for you to understand when it comes to SEO.
To outrank your competition, you need to be able to do better than them on 2 levels:
On-site optimization
Off-site optimization
Now, what I’m going to say may sounds over simplistic, but way to many of you overlook the importance of the following fact:
“If you don’t know what your competition is doing, how are you going to beat them?â€
You need information to be able to gauge their current level and where you stand in comparison.
In general, having a very well optimized site when it comes to onsite optimization alone, will get you all the way to the top 30 results and maybe even to the top 10 depending of the difficulty of your keyword.
That step was previously accomplished by following the recommendation we got from the IBP report yesterday. What is left for us to do now is off-site optimization.
When you make it to the top 30, outranking your competition is all about your inbound links.
The only way you can increase your ranking position is by building more and better quality inbound links than your competition.
Your very first goal should not be to compare yourself to the top ranking page yet, but rather the lowest ranking page of the top 10 results.
The reason is clear; this is the page you need to beat in order to make it to the first page of results. Being on the first page and being on the second page are worlds apart when it comes to SEO results!

Good links, bad links
Before going any further with our off-site optimization training, it’s important to fully comprehend our tools, here they are links.
Today, we are going to learn what links got to do with SEO, what we should expect out of our inbound links, and more importantly, what kind of links are wasting our time and efforts.
Linking and SEO
When people talk about SEO, they only think of inbound links. Some become even greedy and start to stop linking out, nofollowing their outbound links, and other dirty practices.
They are the kind of people who take it all and give nothing back.
Though it may seems like a good idea for short sighted people, I strongly believe that there’s much more to gain by being natural and honest.
An external link is like a testimonial that you appreciate and refer what’s on the other side.
Most of the people who don’t link out are afraid to lose their “link juiceâ€, what they fail to see is that there’s a lot more to benefits than it seems to link out.

You just need to be better than your competition
Today is the last lesson of our on-site mastery course and we are going to invest it in getting a final overview of our on-page optimization work based on keyword density, keyword proximity, and keyword prominence.
All those data could be a real hassle and extremely time consuming to compute and analyze but luckily for us, all those processes can be done very easily using a smart tool.
Getting Started with IBP
Ok, for those of you won’t don’t already have it or don’t know what it is, IBP stands for Internet Business Promoter.
This SEO software is available in 3 different versions, free (the one we are going to use today), and 2 paid versions.
This software is a full SEO toolbox by itself providing you everything you need for your SEO work, from keyword research, submission, link building, etc…; however the part we are particularly interested in today (and principally the main reason why I use this software) is the on-page analysis report it can generates for you.

More link juice and more pages viewed!
All too many people fail to leverage on the potential they have on their site alone. Remember that before off-site SEO became popular with Google, SEO was one entirely on-site.
If off-site SEO has become dominant, this doesn’t mean that on-site SEO doesn’t have value anymore! Today I’m going to review with you what you can do with your site links to enhance your on-site SEO.
What is an internal link?
An internal link is a link that point towards another page within your site, in opposition with the external links which points toward an external source.
We’ll talk more about the external links in the last part of our 21 Days SEO Mastery course. From this point on, when I talk about links, I’m only referring to internal links.
People like to talk about how off-site optimization is important for your search engine rankings, well I’m here to show you that it all starts with doing a good job on-site.
Why should you care about your internal links?
The links inside your site have 3 major purposes:
Facilitate the navigation for your visitors.
Facilitate the crawling of the search engine spiders.
Build custom inbound links to your different pages.
Links for Navigation and Crawling Purpose
The main purpose of SEO is to bring targeted visitors to your pages, and retain them on your site for as long as possible.
One easy way to do that starts by making navigation on your site simple to understand.
When somebody lands on one of your pages, what are his options from there, where can he go, what can he do?
Obviously based on our 3 Tier site structure, the following links are expected based on the Tier your visitor lands on.
Here’s Day 15 and this is continuing on from out guest post series on Search Engine Optimization. If you haven’t completed yesterday’s lesson, you can read it at: DAY 14: Optimizing Your Content.
“A picture is worth a thousand words.â€

Small trick, big difference
It’s a fact today that images are an integrand part of most of the pages designs and content. Having pictures make your site more vibrant, alive, and user friendly in many instances compare to a boring plain text site.
Today’s lesson is about helping you understand how search engines see your pictures and what you can do to influence what they see.
What you see is not what the search engine gets
What you see and what the search engines see when they crawl your page is not the same, but you already know that.
The reason is simple, many coding tricks, including the usage of CSS now allows us to make our site appearance much more user friendly, while maintaining a simple and easy to read page for the search engines without all the unnecessary clutter of layout junk.
The easiest way to get an idea of how the search engines see you page is simply by looking at it from a text browser. You can do that easily by looking at the cache version of your page.

Always write with your readers in mind
This statement is by far one of my favorite and one I abide to strongly. Now, because you should always write with your readers in mind, doesn’t mean that you can’t do something for the search engines too, right?
Today’s lesson is not focused on what you should do to write an article that is pleasing for your readers, but instead focuses on the small tweaks you can do to make your great post search engine friendly.
Why Should You Optimize Your Content?
I mean, if you have been reading any bit about SEO before, you may probably have heard things like:
On-page optimization doesn’t matter anymore; it’s all about off-page optimization.
Google doesn’t care about keyword density anymore.
Write for your visitors, not the search engines.
So why should you bother with optimizing your content?
The value of your off-page optimization is enhanced by matching on-page optimization. For an anchor text link to be really powerful, the same keyword should exist on the destination page.
Google new algorithm is based on concept relevancy, which includes synonyms and related search terms within your niche, not just the keyword itself. Unless you have those terms on page, you may fall down in the relevancy scale.
Write for your visitors to keep them on your pages, but don’t forget that it’s the search engines that bring you those visitors in the first place.
