Many people don’t realize that only 2 out of 10 people actually read a normal article, after they read the title. Writing a clear concise title is key to drawing the interest of your visitors to get them interested enough to read the entire article. Understanding your audience is very important and takes a good understanding of your industry and the product that you are selling. Weather it be a tangible product or a virtual product.

Online marketing requires catchy titles, engaging subtitles, and subheaders that make your readers pay attention. Without these catchy, engaging titles, you could have the best information or needed product around, but 80% of your visitors would never even know.

Titles that grab the readers attention

Keyword specific titles will grab a visitors attention when they are looking for what you have to sell, or what you are writing about. These will initially get the traffic to your site. If your ad title is not keyword specific enough, the visitors will not be interested enough to click the ad and visit your site.

SubTitles make readers understand what they will find in the rest of the article

If your title is engaging enough to get a visitor to your site, your subtitle should then explain in a capturing way, what the user will accomplish from reading the rest of your article. Most users need to be engaged in the first subtitle to want to venture further. Generally a good subtitle is only one or two sentences that get your visitors interested further, and bring them into your article.

Keyword specific links in your article for visitors

Clickable links throughout your article give the visitor more places to move through your content, with specific relevant keywords to promote their interests further. When you place these links in your content as keywords, make sure you link to material that might appeal to your readers on other pages of your site, your visitors will click and stay on your site longer, giving you a better chance of a sale. Generally I open the new link in a new window so that my visitors can go to the other pages of my site, and come back to the original page when they are done reading the other. I’ve also seen many people that use this concept but they link to other websites, and lose their visitors to the other website before they are done reading their article. Keep them on your site.

Keep your navigation simple and easy

Keep the navigation of your website simple to understand. Sometimes website owners like a style or design that makes a website uncomfortable and confusing to navigate. Especially when using the tip above for keyword specific links, you should always make it easy for your visitors to find their way back to the original article, homepage, and other key pages in your website.

Social Bookmarking tips
Simple tips on marketing your blog with social media sites. Make sure that you are adding value to the community, not just advertising on and spamming these types of sites. Set up a profile and become a useful resource on the social bookmarking sites. People will then trust you more and value your opinion. You are then positioning yourself as an authority in your industry.

Bakers and Chefs of the past knew how great cooking using stoneware could be, but modern society sort of moved away from using it. Stoneware has started making an appearance back onto the market recently and this wonderfully durable cookware will be here for a long time to come.

Microscopic pores inside the surface of stoneware, and the even heat distribution, make pampered chef stoneware great for baking. Your Crusts come out crisper and the interior of meats and casseroles will be much more moist, because of the way stoneware absorbs the moisture from the foods.

There isn’t a better nonstick surface than seasoned pampered chef stoneware. You don’t need additional oils in cooking with stoneware once seasoning has fully occurred. Food will not stick to the stoneware surface, which makes it much easier to clean.

Most pots and pans on the market that contain a nonstick surface, have the chance of scratching the nonstick surface, but because it is stone, you won’t disturb your nonstick surface using any kitchen utensils.

Pampered Chef Stoneware is better in my opinion than most brands on the market, because it is made from natural stoneware clay. Most other brands on the market are made of red clay. The red clay contains a larger pore surface. This makes the stoneware absorb odors, gives it an increased possibility of cracking, and the possibility of lead inclusion.

2. Remove and discard giblets and neck from the chicken cavity (I know it sounds gross but come on your cooking chicken). Rinse the chicken with some cold water and pat it dry with some paper towels. Trim the excess fat off of the chicken, if necessary. Place the lemon quarters and the remaining rosemary inside the cavity of the chicken. Tie the chicken’s legs together with a cotton string. Lift the wing tips up toward the neck, then tuck under the back of the chicken. Place the chicken breast side up into the Deep Covered Baker.
3. Brush the outside of the chicken with oil, and coat it completely with the seasoning mixture. Arrange the garlic around the chicken. Place it in the oven.
4. Bake covered for 60 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and continue roasting 25 to 35 more minutes or until the Pocket Thermometer registers 180°F in the thickest part of the thigh and the juices run clear.
5. Remove the chicken from the deep covered baker and let it cool for 10 minutes before carving. Remove the garlic from the drippings and serve it with the chicken.

I hope you enjoy this great pampered chef chicken recipe as much as I do.

Another fast recipe from Pampered Chef that takes less than 30 minutes.

Chocolate Raspberry Cookie Trifle

Chocolate-raspberry ganache, white chocolate mousse filling and vanilla wafers taste so delicious and create a festive look that makes this trifle great for any occasion.

You will need:

• 1 cup of milk
• 1 3.3 ounce package of white chocolate instant pudding and pie filling
• 1 16 ounce container of frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
• 1 12 ounce box of vanilla wafers, divided
• 1 cup of milk chocolate morsels
• 1 12 ounce jar of seedless raspberry jam, divided
• 1 12 ounce bag of frozen sweetened raspberries (not in syrup), thawed

1. For the filling, in Stainless (4-qt.) Pampered Chef Mixing Bowl, combine the milk and the pudding mix, then whisk it until the pudding mixture begins to thicken. Reserve ½ cup of the whipped topping in the Measure All Cup. Gently fold the remaining whipped topping into the pudding mixture. Cover it and refrigerate.
2. For the ganache, combine the chocolate morsels, and the 1/2 cup of reserved whipped topping and half of the jam in the Small Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 40 to 60 seconds or until it is melted, stir after each 20-second interval. Stir until it is smooth. Reserve ¼ cup in the Prep Bowl to be used as garnish later.
3. Place the remaining jam into another Prep Bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30-60 seconds or until it is melted. Place the raspberries into Classic Batter Bowl. Pour the jam over the raspberries and stir gently. Set aside 16 cookies for garnish, then break the remaining cookies in halves.
4. To assemble the trifle, place 1/3 of the broken cookies into the bottom of the Trifle Bowl. Then layer 1/3 of the raspberry mixture evenly over the cookies. Top it off with 1/3 of the pudding mixture and 1/3 of the ganache. (See Kristen’s Tip.) Repeat this process for the remaining layers two more times, finishing with a smooth layer of ganache.
5. Dip the reserved whole cookies halfway into the reserved ganache and place into the top of the trifle.

Kristen’s Tip: To easily top cream layers with ganache, place large resealable plastic bag into the 2 cup Easy Read Measuring Cup. Pour the ganache into the corner of the bag. Twist the top of the bag and secure with Twixit! Clip. Then cut the tip off of the corner of the bag to allow ganache to flow through.

Here is another Real Food Real Fast recipe from pampered chef. I’ve tried these and they are fantastic.

Pampered Chef Brunch Squares

You will need:

• 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
• 2 cups of grated Colby & Monterey Jack cheese blend (keep them divided into 2 cups)
• 1 22.5 ounce package of 10 thawed frozen toaster hash brown patties
• 8 ounces of softened cream cheese
• 12 eggs
• ½ of a teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper
• 8 ounces of thickly sliced deli ham
• 5 green onions with the tops, divided (1 cup sliced)
• 3 plum tomatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Lightly brush the Large Bar Pan with oil using the Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush. Then grate the cheese using the Ultimate Mandoline. Crumble the hash browns over the bar pan pressing it gently into an even layer. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the hash browns. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the crust starts to brown and the cheese is melted.
2. While the crust is cooking, use the Classic Batter Bowl to whisk the cream cheese until it is smooth using the Stainless Whisk. Gradually add the eggs and the black pepper and continue whisking until it is smooth. On the Cutting Board, coarsely chop ham using the Food Chopper. Slice the green onions, reserving ¼ cup of the tops for garnish. Place the ham and remaining green onions into the 8-in. Sauté Pan. Then cook and stir over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until hot. Stir the ham mixture into the egg mixture using the Small Mix ‘N Scraper.
3. Remove the bar pan from the oven and place it on the Stackable Cooling Rack. Pour the egg mixture over the crust. Return the bar pan to oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the center is set. Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise using the Utility Knife and scrape out the seeds. Garnish the squares with the sliced tomatoes and green onions. Cut into squares and serve using the Mini-Serving Spatula.

Kristen’s Tips: I generally soften the cream cheese by microwaving it on HIGH for 15-20 seconds or until it is softened. Then I Whisk it until it is smooth. I also like to use bacon instead of the deli ham sometimes. 1 pound of cooked, drained and crumbled bacon is generally enough.

I mentioned the Jerk Chicken Nachos in my article about how to make real food, real fast. Here is the recipe.

A simple yet fun and friendly meal for the family or hors d’oeurves for friends.

You will need

• 6 cups of tortilla chips
• 3 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken
• 2 cups of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
• 2 tablespoons of Jamaican Jerk Rub (keep them separated)
• 1 small yellow or red bell pepper (I like to us a combination of the two)
• 1 small lime
• 2 tablespoons of fresh snipped cilantro
• ¼ of a cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon additional Jamaican Jerk Rub

1. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Arrange the tortilla chips in a slightly overlapping layer on the Pampered Chef Large Round Stone.
2. Now in the Classic Batter Bowl, combine the chicken, the cheese and 1 tablespoon of the Jamaican jerk rub. Mix together gently using the Small Mix ‘N Scraper.
3. Sprinkle the chicken rub cheese mixture evenly over the 6 cups of tortilla chips. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Then remove it from the oven to the Stackable Cooling Rack.
4. While the chicken and chips are in the oven, dice the bell peppers with the Santoku Knife. Then slice the lime in half(across). You should now juice half of the lime, using the Citrus Press, into the Small Batter Bowl and add the remaining Jamaican jerk rub and bell pepper to it, then mix well.
5. Snip the cilantro in the mincing cup of the Herb Keeper using the Kitchen Shears.
6. Slice the remaining lime half using the Ultimate Mandoline fitted with the v-shaped blade. Cut the slices in half using Utility Knife.
7. Spoon the bell pepper mixture over the nachos and sprinkle evenly with cilantro. If desired, combine sour cream and additional jerk rub in a resealable plastic bag. Trim the corner of the bag to allow the sour cream to flow through. Spread the sour cream mixture over the chicken nachos and garnish it with lime slices.

Just becoming a Pampered Chef consultant or pampered chef hostess can be a fun and exciting time, but it can also be a confusing time. Although I just began pampered chef, I have many years of sales and marketing experience on and off the web. In this article, I will try to share a few tried and true methods of starting a successful network business.

Now that you have become a pampered chef consultant, what do you do now? You need to advertise and expose your business to as many people as possible! But not necessarily paid advertising. You can advertise your pampered chef website in many different ways. Here are some quick suggestions and things you can do to advertise your Pampered Chef business. A lot of them are FREE or very low cost!

1. Use Free email signature tags in all emails that you send out. Both on your personal emails and business emails. This way everyone knows about your pampered chef website or business without having to blatantly promote it to them.
2. Register your pampered chef website on Every free search engine that you can find.
3. Sign up and Register your pampered chef website with all the free Online Shopping Directories.
4. In your spare time, go to other peoples personal websites or my space pages and sign their guest books, make sure you include the info for the person that owns the guestbook or visitors to find your website. You don’t even have to know the person, just drop by their site and say hi.
5. Read your local newspaper and look for the bridal announcements. You can send a catalog, business card or include a flyer for the new bride announcing your bridal registry.
6. pampered chef open house flyers While browsing your local newspaper also look in the classified ads for Home Based Day Care Centers. You can send catalogs, flyers, and business cards to the home daycare owners. Point out how they can have a party and earn free items for their home based daycare.
7. Send out a monthly Email Newsletter after each show that you do. Send it to all previous guests and new guests of your shows. This is a good way to keep customers informed of new Products, Sales and Promotions, Hostess Specials, and more. This will entice your customers to purchase and/or hold their own Pampered Chef parties.
8. Hold a Mystery Hostess Open House party. Do this a few times per year. Send out invites to everyone that has ever attended your past parties and also post flyers everywhere that you can think of. It is good for these types of parties to be as large as possible to expand your network. Offer door prizes, refreshments, and do a demo of some of the Pampered Chef catalog products. Tell everyone who comes that for each product they order, they will get one entry, if they bring a friend they earn a bonus entry, and if they book a party at your party they get 3 more entries. At the end of the party, draw a name and the winner becomes the hostess and earns all the free stuff that you recieve for that party. Don’t think of it as giving away the free stuff you would have received, think of it more as a way to make your network 5 times larger.
9. Contact local bingo halls or organizations that have bingo. Tell them that you will donate a prize for their bingo games. Make sure you include a business flyer, a catalog, a business card with the prize you are donating.
10. Get 2 types of business cards, high quality cards to give out at parties and to friends, and a cheaper low cost version to pass out everywhere. This way you can leave stacks of the low cost ones anywhere.

These are just a few suggestions for you to try in your new adventure as a Pampered Chef Consultant. There are many more ways to advertise, and I will try to post a few more soon. pamperedchef.ocm

To make a good Pampered Chef Cake I recommend using Pampered chef products from the catalog.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1 cup of packed brown sugar
• 1 20 ounce can of undrained pineapple slices
• 5 drained maraschino cherries cut in half
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I like using pecans)
• 1 18.25 ounce package of yellow cake mix
• 3 raw eggs
• 1/3 cup of vegetable oil (canola works fine too)
• 1 cup thawed frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Melt butter in Executive 12-inch Skillet over low heat (don’t use stainless cookware). Remove from the skillet from the heat, then stir in some brown sugar until it is well blended.
2. Use the pampered chef can opener to open the can of sliced pineapples. Then drain the can of pineapple slices, but keep the juice and set it aside. Arrange the pineapple slices over the brown sugar mixture in the Skillet. Place a cherry half in the center of each pineapple slice. Sprinkle the nuts over the brown sugar mixture, pineapples slices, and cherry halves.
3. Add enough water to the pineapple juice so that it measures 1 1/3 cups liquid. In the Classic Batter Bowl, combine the cake mix, the pineapple juice, the 3 eggs and the oil. Use the Pampered Chef Whisk until well blended and smooth. Pour it over the fruit mixture that is in the skillet.
4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the pampered chef cake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges of the cake. Flip the cake over onto a large serving plate. Let it cool for about 5 minutes then garnish it with the whipped topping.

Pampered Chef Business Cards can be simple or extravagant. The business cards can contain a little information about contacting you, visiting your website, or contain a picture of you and all of the above information about your pampered chef website.

I just went through the process of getting new business cards for my Pampered Chef Consultant services. I searched the web for the best deals, called the local printing places to find some good deals on business cards, and decided to write this post to help others from having to search like I did.

The best deal that I found was Vista Print. I wasn’t too familiar with them, so I checked the web for reviews on the site and company. After all the checks they seemed to be a reputable company with a good reputation. I then found a link to get 30% off and Free shipping. I was impressed and decided to give them a try.

Judge for yourself. Here are my new pampered chef business cards, and I just love them.
