Felix Dennis - The $800 Million Man Tells The Truth About Getting Rich

Felix Dennis went from being a high school drop-out, failed blues musician and arts student living in a crummy bedsit without the price of a pint of beer in his pocket, let alone the money to pay the rent... to being a publishing magnate and one of the richest men in Britain.

Outsourcing Weekly - Product Review

Name Of The Product: Outsource Weekly

Where You Can Buy It: www.outsourceweekly.com

Product Description: 52 week subscription based email course covering everything you need to know about how to get more done in your business without doing it all yourself. You’ll learn what you can outsource, when is the right time and how to do it.

Members receive a new lesson every week for an entire year that will show them how to get more done in their business without sacrificing every second of their day to it.

Who This Product is Intended for: Anyone who runs an online business and is ready to spend more time doing things in their life they love AND grow their business to profitable heights.

This course is especially for you if you:

• want to save time.
• want to have more free time (away from your business to do other things).
• want to save money in your business and still get things done.
• think you can’t afford to hire help, so you continue slaving away at it all yourself.

Uses: Outsource Weekly provides the information and tools to teach you how to successfully use outsourcing to help you spend less time on your business yet still make money.

Pros: Outsource Weekly is for anyone with a business. The self-paced lessons and assignments are intended for both the beginner and the more experienced business owner. The entire course is designed to help you in several parts of your business. With each topic broken down into individual weekly modules, outsourcing won’t be overwhelming.

Cons: If you become a member and then unsubscribe and re-join the program at a later date you will start from the beginning. There is no picking up from where you left off.

Personal Opinion: As a virtual assistant, my workload was getting to be more than I alone could handle. I also have a few Internet marketing related sites that are growing daily and finding the time I need to devote to them, along with my client work was not happening.

I knew outsourcing would help me get it all done. As a matter of fact I have outsourced things in my business in the past, but knew I could be doing it more effectively so that I could not only focus on my clients and my own websites, but other things in my life outside of business as well.

When I heard about Outsource Weekly I thought “Ooh that sounds good.” When I found out it was put together by Jimmy D. Brown and Nicole Dean, I knew it would be just what I was looking for.

So far I’m on week 7 and I couldn’t be more pleased in the things I’ve learned. Getting help in my business is something I should have done more of a long time ago. In a way, I’m kind of glad I waited because I think I would have created a bigger mess for myself if I had done it the way I have in the past. Now, I can do it the right way.

Manifesting Your Desires

I could make it very easy from the start and say that you are already manifesting your desires everyday, but you just don't realize it. Most people are unconscious creators.

I could make it very easy from the start and say that you are already manifesting your desires everyday, but you just don't realize it. Most people are unconscious creators. They go about their daily lives not knowing that the thoughts they are thinking have an impact on their outside world.

The Law Of Attraction, probably the most important law governing creation states that all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of like vibration. What this means is that the thoughts we hold in our minds begin to attract similar thoughts and become larger masses of thoughts we call thought forms. So what are the implications of this for you? Stated simply, you get what you focus on. "But I'm always thinking about money and i never have any," you say. And that is because you never stay focused on the abundance in your life, but are always looking at the lack of what you do have.

So that is what you attract into your life. If you could stay focused on one thing and imagined the excitement you would feel if you already had it, it would show up in your life in a relatively short time.

The world you see is only a mirror of all the thoughts you have inside of you. Change your thoughts and you change the perception of your world.

Quantum physics teaches us that nothing exists independently of your perception of it. In actuality you get to choose what you see. That is why several people observing the same thing each have different opinions as to what really happened.

If you want to manifest your desires there are a few steps you need to follow.

Number one in importance is knowing what you really want. The more definitive you can be, the easier it will be to reach your goal.

Number two in importance is the more enthused, excited and emotionally charged you are about something, the faster you will see it show up in your life.

Next, you have to allow it to come into your life. What i mean by this is not to expect it to come in a certain way, the when, where or how. Just let it flow into your life.

And lastly, you should have a feeling of gratitude, or thankfulness in advance, to be grateful before and for the thing that you want. Good luck in your manifesting and thanks for reading.

Your Affiliate Marketing Guide

Affiliate marketing is something that many webmasters know how to do. They know what it is about, and what it takes to be successful. However, if you are new to the webmaster world, you may just be wondering how you can get into affiliate marketing and making an income on the side for yourself. Doing so is not that complicated, and we have created this guide to get you started.

First of all, lets cover just exactly what affiliate marketing is. Affiliate marketing is when you sell or get leads for someone else’s service or product. You are going to find that there are so many people that do this. When a company needs some help making sales, and they allow people to sign up as affiliates, they are willing to pay a commission or a flat rate per lead or sale. Depending on the company, this percentage or flat rate will vary.

Affiliate marketing can be used to make a decent income several ways. You can use a website, a blog, newsletter, email, ads etc. The list goes on and on. However, the most popular form of affiliate marketing is done with a website. When you choose the market that you want to promote, be sure that you choose one that you are some what familiar with. This way you can become an expert on the topic, and everyone will know that you are the king of that market. Once that is done, it is time for a URL. There are many places that you can get your own domain from. Once you have decided where you will purchase that from, choose a URL that has the topic you are selling in the URL for the best results. For example, if you are wanting to market cat food, you wont use a URL that has dog in it. Make sure that everything is all relevant.

Now that you have your market and your URL chosen, you will want to determine the hosting that you will use for your website. You need dependable hosting for the best results. A hosting company that has more up time than down time is best because during the down time, your website will not be accessible. So, get some recommendations from others that have tried a few and use the best that you can find. It is worth it to pay for good hosting.

Once that is done, you are ready to get your affiliate links and website set up so that you can market the most effectively. Determine the amount of money that you want to make, and set up an outline of how you are going to make it. There are so many ways that you can get a website out there to be seen, and you will want to make the best decisions. So, finding out the best ways for you to do this is that is cost effective is a good start.

Learning SEO which is also known as search engine optimization is a great idea. Using SEO to get your site higher in the search engine rankings with keywords will pay off in the end. You can learn it yourself, or you can pay someone to do this part for you. It is up to you. However, you should know that learning and using SEO yourself is time consuming. Hiring an SEO guru might be better for you.

Write articles about the market that you are promoting from your website and submit them to all of the article directories. When you include a back link to the site that you are optimizing that will help you as well with the search engines.

Affiliate marketing is not anything that you can make money with over night. You need to be able to build up and keep adding to your website daily or weekly, and keep it going. You can do it, just don’t give up.

Timing

You've asked; the Universe is doing its work; it is answering. Your work is to get into this place where you joyfully receive it.

"The attitude that we would have is: 'The universe is lining it up just right, and the timing will be just exactly right. And I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm doing everything just exactly right. And in the perfect timing, a timing that I cannot even quite see yet, this is going to happen. And meanwhile there isn't anything else for me to do.'

How is it that you all get so involved in things that have nothing to do with you? The Law of Attraction is a huge Law. So next time you find yourself thinking: 'Well, I should write one more affirmation, or I should do one more Virtual Reality. I need to do something. I must be doing something wrong, or what I'm wanting would be,' we say, what you need to do is chill out. What you need to do is relax and accept that you've done your work. You've asked; the Universe is doing its work; it is answering. Your work is to get into this place where you joyfully receive it.

You can't take score about when it's coming or where it's coming, or how it's coming. In other words, you accept, in this faith-based attitude, it is coming and all is well. And as you do that, ahh.

Then, when you really get there, then it doesn't matter how long it takes--but it doesn't take any time, then. If you could say, 'I don't care how long it takes,' you're there! And then it takes no time. But as long as it matters how long it takes, you're not there--and it's going to take a long time.

You’re Desire Power And The 3 Keys of All Great People

Learn how Desire is the motive-power behind all action, processes and events.

Desire is a very strong Key towards your mind power.

You must not only know “what you want”, but you must also “want it hard enough” and be willing to make an effort towards attaining it…

And in order to do this you simply need to create a strong and intense desire towards whatever it is you want to accomplish or attain.

You need to develop a desire so strong it will cause you to use every ounce of your power and energy, toward the accomplishment of your object or goal.

Desire is said to be like a goal-striving energy, a sort of built-in magnet which has the means to pull whatever is needed to you… now this can work two ways for you, both as a “success magnet” or a “failure magnet,” it all depends on how you, the controller, controls it and also the goals you set for it.

Very few people know how to create and hold a strong dedicated desire, they satisfy themselves with simply “wishing” or even a mild “wanting”, and fail to put into action a strong, intense and continuing desire.

If you take a look at the progress of any person, who has accomplished both famous and wonderful things you will find there was, and is a strong and continuing desire for success, within them all…

You see most of the time, people who are successful - only become successful at what they do after trying many, many times and after never giving up!

All great people have the 3 Keys…

1. Know just what they want = (Belief, Enthusiasm )

2. Want it hard enough = ( Desire )

3. Are determined to get it = ( Will )

It is these 3 things only, which separate the men and women who have a strong sense of purpose, determination and desire, from the rest of us who merely “wish for things”

A strong desire can have a tremendous influence on all of your mental faculties, causing them to put all of their power and energies to work for you.

In fact, without desire you would not do much thinking at all, because there would be very little motive to do so... you would also perform no actions, as there would be no reason for such. Desire is the “mover of action” - both mental as well as physical action.

The strength of your work, whether it is mental or physical, will be determined by the amount of desire that you have for the goal, object or end result of such work.

The more you desire a thing… the more you want something, the harder you will work for it, and the easier this work will seem to you.

You see any task you perform under the influence or incentive of a strong desire will seem much easier - than the very same task performed without such influence, incentive or encouragement. Desire and affection are the two main reasons we are influenced or compelled to “do things”

If our desire or affection was somehow absent or missing, then there would be no action - because there would be no motive, reason or cause for such action or to do anything…

So most of the time we act solely because we “want” or “like” to.

Without desire or affection we would be unable to make any choices or decisions - this means we would perform no actions. Now we see that desire is the motive-power behind action.

Take away this motive-power and there will be no activity or movement. Without this “want” and “want to” there would be no “will to do” and this would lead to “not doing” anything.

Everything we do is prompted by desire in some shape or form. It would be impossible for us to remain without desire, and still act in one way or another - or in any way at all.

Desire is the motive-power behind all action; it is the breathing force behind all natural activities, processes and events. We can easily learn how to become masters of our own desire, instead of being mastered by it...

But before we do so, we must first desire to do so – we must desire to start, desire to achieve, and desire to finish what ever it is we want to accomplish in our life

The Law Of Attraction Doesn't Understand 'Don't, Not or No'

The Law of Attraction doesn't hear the words 'don't, not or no' - it only responds to your feelings (your vibes) about that subject.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes we get something that we really didn't want in our lives? People often tell me, "I didn't ask for THAT!"

In fact, some people think that the Law of Attraction 'isn't working for me' when they attract something they didn't want into their life--but it is. You see, the Law of Attraction doesn't hear the words 'don't, not or no' (as in,

'I don't want that.' 'That's not what I want.' 'No more of this!') it only responds to your feelings (your vibes) about that subject. If thinking about a certain situation causes you to feel upset, the Law of Attraction sends you MORE upsetting situations.

Here's a story sent to me by a reader, that demonstrates what I mean:

I went to a charity event last night (for which I paid $50) and then I donated another $20 for raffle tickets for various prizes. The idea was to put your ticket into the bowl that represented the prize you wanted. Well, none of the prizes were exciting to me. I put my ticket into the bowl that seemed the best of the three. And as I did so, I said to myself, 'I' really hope I don't win this silly haircut.' Then I realized there were more than three prizes and I felt disappointed that I had put my ticket into that bowl, but it was too late to take it back.

So, as they were calling the prize winners I again said 'I' don't want that haircut.' When they read out my number I was so disbelieving that I had to ask them to repeat the number because I could not believe that I had won it - especially because I had said so clearly, 'I don't want it!' - well you know the ending of this story. I focused on it, said "don't" and focused on it again. DUH!! Now the fact is, it is a nice prize and I will use it - what was I thinking?

Sometimes I use the illustration of the Internet Search Engines--if you go to www.goolge.ca and type in the words 'no porn'--what will you get? That's right--PORN. The Search Engines don't understand Don't give me--they just understand porn.

So, if I don't want something, how do I avoid attracting it into my life?

By answering this simple question: 'If I don't want this . . . what do I want?'

Sometimes it takes a while to formulate a positive answer to that question, but taking the time to do so is the ONLY way to stop attracting what you don't want.

If I don't want clients who are late for our sessions, what do I want? I want clients who are on time or early.

If I don't want to chase after clients to be paid for my services, what do I want? I want clients who joyfully pay by credit card or E-check for my services--on time or early.

If I fail to get clear about what I DO want, according to the Law of Attraction, I will attract that which I don't want into my life again and again--for until I place my focus on something else, what I don't want IS (by default) my focus.

Can you think of something that has been occurring in your life, over and over again? If so, take a few minutes--just 5 or 10 minutes and do this exercise:

1. Write down on paper what this reoccurring event is. State what happens and how it makes you feel.

2. Then ask the question: If I don't want that to happen again, what DO I want to happen? or If I don't want to feel like that again, what DO I want to feel like?

Get a picture in your mind, an idea or a feeling for how you would like it to be. Find the words that most accurately express what you want and write them down on paper. Doing this will engage all your senses to such a degree that you will automatically begin to attract events and situations that are more enjoyable.

Why Don’t Any Of These Internet Marketing Courses Work?

I recently heard a comment from one of my online subscribers that went something like this…’I just bought another course last week and it doesn’t work, that’s about the tenth one if bought, none of them produced any money, but they cost me a small fortune’

I asked her what the names of some of them were and she told me. Some I had heard about, some I hadn’t, and some I had even purchased myself. So I started to ask myself this…if all these so called can’t miss systems, guaranteed to make you money, were actually true, then there would be no need to keep on launching the next big thing and so on.

I understand that the Internet is always growing and changing, just look at Web 2.0, as well as the way people market online. But after talking with my subscriber, the one that purchased all the courses, and questioning her about some of the ones that I had purchased and used, I realized that she wasn’t following through on very much of what she had learned.

So I finally figured out why all these gurus can keep on coming out with the next best money making course. Don’t get me wrong, I subscribe, and have purchased several products from some well known marketers, and for the most part, I learned a lot. But not only do you have to learn, you have to implement what you learn. Not just once, but you have to take daily consistent action in order to start making some real money online.

Like I said, I’ve purchased several marketing courses and ebooks over the years, and have found that most have provided me some very valuable information, ideas, concepts and just new ways to look at marketing itself. And by the way, I’ve also purchased some crap…one was a coaching program that promised the world in 6 months, and was a big waste of money…about 5k worth. I’m pretty sure I could have taught the things that my mentor was trying to teach me.

So you’re always going to hear from those people that did not see any results, just more wasted money, because for the most part, the majority of the people that buy those programs and courses do not follow through when it come to implementing and taking daily consistent action.

So that’s why the gurus keep on producing more courses and programs because they know that the large majority of the people who buy them will never complete it, and will only implement a very small portion of what they’ve learned. Believe me, most of these courses are rock solid, but you have to implement what they’re trying to teach you to see any positive results. Don’t give up…just start taking daily action, and you will find success.

How To Keep The Entrepreneurial Edge

Some would say that big business has it made; I on the other hand believe that there will always be a special place for the little business guy. Entrepreneurs have an edge over their bigger competitors. So while the Amazon’s of the world are struggling to break even from their multi billion-dollar overheads, the smaller Dot coms are already realizing profits. What advantages do the “little” guys have in the marketplace? Below is how to “think like a startup” and realize greater success.

HOW TO KEEP THE ENTREPRENEURIAL EDGE

1) STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS

Ever heard of the 80/20 rule? The old adage says that 80% of your business will come from 20% of your customers. In business, the customer is king. It’s far easier to sell to an existing customer than to find a new one. So, once you get a customer, you need to service the heck out of them.

So how do you make your customers feel like they are number one? By letting them know that they are top priority. This means answering your own phone, replying quickly to email requests. It means staying in regular communication with your customers. Keep up a good rapport. Send an occasional email asking them what’s new. Mail birthday cards or a customer anniversary card. Gestures like these can build close, long lasting customer relations and goes a long way to building customer loyalty.

In addition to building stronger customer relationships, keeping in touch with your customer base can enable dot coms to offer one to one marketing. By identifying your customers needs and buying habits, you can personalize product packages and service offerings to meet your customer’s individual needs.

2) LISTEN TO THE BEAT OF THE STREET

If small business owners want to keep their head above water, they need to closely monitor their environments. By “listening” to the pulse, you can think proactively rather than reactively. This means spotting things when they are coming so you can act quickly and take advantage.

Web stats - Do you look at your web stats regularly? Or are you guilty of being too “busy” to make time? Unless you regularly look at your web traffic reports, they probably will read like a foreign language to you. By looking at your web reports regularly, you’ll be able to spot trends. What pages are your visitors going to? What is the hits-to-sales ratio? What can you do to improve that number?

Feedback - Another way to “listen to the beat” is to get feedback from your customers. Try to be on a first name basis with your customers. Ask them how they are doing and if there is anything you could assist them with. The answers you’ll receive will be worth their weight in gold.

Industry news - Keep up with the industry by reading everything you can get your hands on. When you work in “living room central” it’s easy to let yourself be isolated from the world. You can’t rely on your favorite soap operas to keep you informed about the current trends in business. So put down your munchies and flavored coffee and make a concerted effort to stay “in the know” by subscribing to print magazines and online newsletters

3) FLEXIBILITY

When I think about flexibility, the childhood rhyme “Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick” comes to mind. In order to keep from being burned, small businesses need to be nimble and quick. This means having the flexibility to act quickly in response to changes in the marketplace. Like a surfer riding a wave, you have to be in just the right place at the right time to ride the crest of the wave and get the best ride. Likewise, if small businesses monitor closely what’s going on in the marketplace, they can act quickly to take advantage of current events and trends in the marketplace.

They say what gets measured, gets managed. Keep a close eye on your monthly financials. Listen to your customers. Measure the effectiveness of your advertising. Then when you see a difference ask yourself, “was that good or bad” and ACT!

4) TAP INTO THE FIRE AND LET IT FUEL YOU

Simply said, small business owners want it more. Because of this, they will try harder and go the extra mile. That’s why big companies like Wal-Mart and Saturn have made their employees part owners in the company. They have seen that people will work harder for themselves than for anyone else.

The best secret to success as an entrepreneur is to find something you are passionate about and create a business around that. When you do something you love you’ll never “work” a day in your life. Entrepreneurs have that fire in their belly. Find a way to tap into that internal fire and let it fuel you to success.

5) VALUE

While big companies will often be able to offer the lower prices, small businesses will always be able to pile on the value. By offering better service, adding bonuses, giving and discounts on related products, the entrepreneurs can add more bang for the buck.

6) CREATIVE SPARK

What’s great about the entrepreneurs is that they aren’t afraid to try something new. When I think of “creative spark”, I think of my son, when he was three years old, eying a package of cookies up on top of the refrigerator. He doesn’t know that it is up really high and that climbing up there is dangerous. He only sees the cookies and starts stacking chairs and climbing until I find him sitting on top of the fridge with a big smile and a mushy cookie face. Similarly, entrepreneurs don’t “know” if something will work or not and fearlessly forge forward with their eyes on the prize. This innovation helps them to tap into new products, techniques, and processes.

SUMMARY

They say, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. When the market starts putting the heat on your business, ask yourself, are you staying “sharp”? Do you still have the entrepreneurial edge? By thinking like a start up, you will find that you will have the staying power to compete with the big boys on the block. And you’ll find that kind of hard-earned success is “oh” so sweet!

5 Ways to Manage Your Time While Working Online

There are many ways to manage time while working online. The computer, Internet, and various other types of activities that can be pursued while working may prove to be quite overwhelming when it comes to time restraints or deadlines. If your income is dependent upon the financial success that you achieve online, it is absolutely imperative that you take the time to ensure that you are maximizing each and every minute of your working time.

Productivity is an extremely important element to the overall success of an online business. In order to reach a high level of productivity, time management skills are a must for every home business owner. Here are five ways to help manage your time while working online in turn boosting your productivity and hopefully income.

1) One of the first methods you can implement to manage your time is reducing the amount of time spent on the telephone. One of the biggest time restraints that individuals experience are telephone calls. It is quite easy to experience a severe time lapse while working due to unexpected calls, long conversations, and even calls that are necessary for the overall functionality of your business.

One way to manage this aspect of your time is to turn off the ringer and purchase an answering machine or subscribe to voice mail. Then, you should set aside a time each day to check your messages and return calls as appropriate.

2) The next way that you can manage online work time is to avoid the act of constantly checking email. Just like the phone, this can take up a lot of your time. You should set aside small chunks of time on a daily basis where you can go through your email and respond when needed.

For the average eight hour work day, I recommend setting aside up to four intervals of fifteen minutes a day to handle the task of dealing directly with email. While this may seem like an awful lot of time at first, you will find that it actually saves you time in the end.

3) Do you work at home? Do you have children? If so, you may consider setting up a schedule in a way that works well with the schedule of your partner. This way, your partner can contend with the kids and you can focus on your work instead of sitting down to work and getting interrupted after 5 or 10 minutes. If this is not possible, you may consider implementing the services of a babysitter, daycare or mommy’s helper a few days a week. This way, you aren’t neglecting your business or your family.

4) If you want to learn ways to manage your time while working online from home, it is important to express to family members, friends, and neighbors that you work at certain times and it is important that you are able to maintain a sound level of productivity while working. Come up with times that these individuals may call you to chat or come by for a visit.

Just like you would set your office hours, so to should you set time aside to spend with your family and friends. You have to have a happy medium for all to benefit from.

Although not always intentional, these friends and family will end up testing you initially and drop by and call anytime. However, if you let them know it is not acceptable and set up appropriate times for these activities, you will find yourself getting more accomplished during these times.

5) The last way for you to better manage your working time is to take breaks. Yes, I said it! You may not believe that by taking a break you can actually increase your overall productivity, but it is quite true! Why do you think employers allow their employees to take small breaks?

It allows the employee to experience a short time of relaxation and also provides them with the opportunity to refresh! You can experience this too, so be sure to work in those breaks and take them – you can always finish what you started when you get back!

One of the best ways for some is to incorporate a daily planner or organizer into your toolkit. When you can put your daily plan down in ‘black & white’ you’ll follow it closer, and maximize your daily production.

As you can see, there are a number of ways to successfully manage your time while working online. Sometimes, all it takes is a little creativity and persistence to come up with successful time management techniques. Here’s to a better organized and more profitable online working environment.

A Comparison of Free Versus Paid Traffic

Every Internet marketer knows that in order to be a success, you’ll have to have a high amount of traffic driven to your website. Traffic volume means more income potential, but when you’re just starting out, ad campaigns may not have a place in your budget.

When trying to drive more traffic to your site, you’re faced with whether to go the free traffic route or use paid traffic programs like Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing. Free traffic routes deliver the best ROI (Return On Investment) because there’s no out of pocket cost, just your time and effort. But the traffic you bring in may not be as targeted as a PPC campaign.

You can choose from free traffic-generating methods such as article marketing, social networking, free classifieds, blogging or forum marketing on niche-related message boards using a link-driven signature file, branded ebook or software with give away rights, plus many many more. Like I said above, the only costs are your time and effort.

The problem with free traffic is that it’s a work-heavy advertising technique. In order to gain high amounts of traffic, a marketer needs to constantly advertise their site to get their link exposed to prospective customers. If time is in short supply, free marketing isn’t an option that will benefit you. The beauty of say, article marketing, which is totally free, is that once the article is written, you could literally get traffic for years to come. But as good as that sounds, it takes time.

Paid traffic avenues cost you money to gain traffic, but if executed properly, the ROI will be much higher and the maintenance much lower. If you’re using article directories, you may have to wait 10 days for approval, but a Google AdWords campaign can be live in minutes.

While costs are considerably higher, so is the potential for profits. If you don’t know how to conduct a savvy PPC campaign, you will risk losing money. There are barriers in place to prevent anything bad from happening, such as daily limits to your spending. Unfortunately, many marketers put limits far beyond what they can actually afford, not knowing Google will find a way to tap into your coffers.

The best way to use paid and free traffic is to implement a strategy that combines both methods. You might run a PPC campaign and at the same create a lens on Squidoo – both for the same keywords.

Days later, you notice your lens is #1 in the Google SERPs. Do you need to continue the PPC campaign? That’s what testing and tracking of conversions will tell you. You might find that the PPC ad linking visitors directly to your sales page has a higher conversion than those who click through to the lens and then have to take an additional step to get to your sales page.

What most successful marketers do is implement a combination of free and paid traffic methods. You might use articles or your blog, as well as advertising in targeted ezines and a PPC campaign.

One of the most popular ways today to gain exposure for your site or product is to give something away, then market backend products to those that have opted in to receive your free give away. The people that opted in to get your branded ebook, report or software, are more likely to purchase from you in the future because they are already involved in that specific niche market. So by paying to acquire these
customers, you ROI will be much higher, much sooner and much longer then any free method available.

Don't worry if you can't or don't want to develop your own product, such an ebook or software, you can search online for 'plr' or 'master resell rights' and finds all sorts of sites that offer ready made products that you can pay a very small amount for, and gain the rights to. Then you can rebrand them with your links and give them away. Make sure you read the PLR resell rights agreement before you purchase.

Savvy marketers understand the inherent need to continually test, track and tweak their marketing efforts. Implement new strategies. See what works best for your niche audience. Then wash, rinse, and repeat your success!

Success: 3 Key Things You Must Know

Like everything we do in life, whether it's riding a bike, learning to sail, or starting a business, there are things you must know, things you must learn.

After studying some of the most successful people around, in all walks of life and business, I’ve put together the 3 keys that were most common to everyone I studied.

1) Change your mental programming...if you are not achieving what you want in your life, it could be your past conditioning to certain events. Your brain atomically conjures up the feelings of a past memory, and based on how that past memory made you feel, this is how you deal the current situation. You must decide at that point, do you let the past control you or....do you choose to form a different mental note from that day forward.

Choose now to begin again, to start new. Your thoughts are where everything starts, change them and change your future.

Here's a little thing you can try to get your brain trained to change. Step outside your comfort zone, do something that's 'out of the norm' for you. This can be a little as going to the movies by yourself, or something as much as skydiving....I've done the skydiving, but not the movie thing yet....but that will change 'your norm' forever, and now you have an expanded comfort zone.

Please note...you don't change in a day, week, month or even a year, but remember this, that you must improve only a small percentage everyday in order to succeed. If you improve 1% everyday…in only one year you would have improved 365%. It’s easy to fail…you just do nothing!


2) Never stop Learning....to be educated is key #2...you must continue to learn everyday, and don't be scared to ask for help or assistance, this is how we learn. I don't know everything, and neither do all the gurus...they all continue to learn everyday.....because if you’re not learning (or growing as person) your dying.

You have to develop yourself into the type of person that others seek out. Commonly called an ‘Alpha’

By constantly learning and improving YOU everyday, you are placing yourself a head of everyone else…as an ‘Alpha Leader’ in that particular field.

Even if you only gain one piece of new knowledge from an eBook or course, that’s OK. That one little piece could make you 1000’s of $$ in the future.

You’ll find that the most successful people in your industry also spend the most on new learning materials…eBooks, seminars, courses, etc…

3) Take action…not only do you have to continue to educate yourself, everyday, but you have to do something with that knew found knowledge.

The knowledge you gain is ONLY useful when you act upon it. If all your doing is learning, without taking action, you may as well stop right there…knowledge without action is useless.

The biggest mistake I see happening today is that people think they have to KNOW everything before they act. That is the wrong way to think. Gain some knowledge, then act…gain some more, and act again. If you’re waiting to have all the answers, to every question, you will NEVER start anything.

3) Do onto others....one of the oldest saying around, you've heard it before, and I truly believe that this alone can change a person so dramatically! If you've never done this, try it. Start treating those that surround you as though they are all a part of you...just because someone has treated you bad, do not pay that forward, which so often happens.

It's like a husband has a really bad day at work and comes home and kicks the dog, and yells at the kids, because he feels a need to release the anger that has created itself from others towards him.

This is one of the hardest keys to change, but one that is a must!

We must hear a lot of no’s to get closer to the success we desire.

Col. Sanders was refused by more then 65 restaurants before his chicken recipe was accepted…and he was like 64 years old when he started! Each ‘no’ brings us closer to our dreams. What would have happened if he would have given up after one, two, three of fifty ‘no’s’

No KFC restaurants…

How to Avoid the Failure of Your Solo Advertising Campaign

by Adrian Jock

Despite what your guru may tell you about how easy is to get a nice profit by simply copying and pasting a pre-written solo ad found in the members area of the program you just joined, the reality is totally different.

No one ever became wealthy by doing almost nothing (copying & pasting some solo ads).
Not even your guru! Except for the heirs of the wealthy people ...

Before you start any new solo advertising campaign, be sure that you follow some simple principles:

1. Tell the truth in your solo ads and don't mislead the readers. People don't like the deceivers.

2. Write an attention grabbing subject line for your solo ad. No one will open a solo ad that has a subject line that says nothing. Like "Check this out".

3. Don't copy and paste a pre-written solo ad that you don't know whether is good or not or whether people are already bored to see it again and again. You're not the only one who is told to copy that solo ad. Every new member is given the same wrong advice.

4. Double check your spelling. Grammatical errors are not your friends. If your credibility is affected, what result do you think you'll get?

5. Don't hide yourself by not adding a signature to your solo ad. If no one is signing that ad where a certain thing is recommended, why do you think that the reader will trust such recommendation?

6. Learn what words to avoid in your ad copy so that your solo ad not to be blocked by spam filters. Don't assume that many publishers are willing and able to help you.

7. Test different solo ads so that to see which one is better. Then start your actual solo advertising campaign using the ad that got the better results. Never forget to use an ad tracker.

8. Choose carefully who will publish your solo ad. There is a jungle out there. There are professionals, but also amateurs and even scammers. An amateur or a scammer may simply destroy your advertising campaign.

Free Solo Ads - Stop Lying to Yourself!

by Adrian Jock

A few days ago I got an inquiry from a potential customer who was asking me about the ezine ad space available in one of my newsletters. The final remark from that inquiry made me curious: the prospect pointed very clear that she was interested in any type of ezine ad space, but not in solo ads. You don't have to be an expert in ezine advertising to know that solo adverts are the best ezine ads, so I asked that lady what was the mystery behind her strange approach. When I read the answer I couldn't believe it: "There are a lot of places where my solo ad is published for free, so why should I pay for it?"

So I decided to write this article in order to help a lot of newbies who think the same.

Please forget for the moment what we are talking about here and think of YOUR assets. Pick some of them. Your TV, your car, your home, whatever you want. Now please respond quickly: will you give your assets for free to some strangers? Right, you won't give them unless they are so old that you don't need them anymore. Even in such case you won't give some of your assets for free, will you?

So ... why do you think that there are stupid people out there who will give YOU something of value for free? I have to disappoint you: what you think is free ... 1) is not free at all or 2) it has almost no value. That's how real life is, no matter whether you like it or not.

Let's analyze what I have just said.

Free solo ads that are not free at all. You probably ask yourself what I'm talking about. There are solo ads so called "free" that you earn the right to send only after you click, click, and click again on tens or hundreds of other people's links. Here is the point: if you don't value your time & your work, yes, they are free. When you work in order to get something, it doesn't mean that you get that "thing" for free. That's only misleading advertising. It's like a boss who tells you that if you work this week from 9 to 5 each day, on Friday evening you'll get a ... FREE PAYMENT. Huh?

Another type of "free" solo adverts are the advertisements sent via safelists.

One type of safelist membership is the paid one where you pay a monthly, yearly or one-time fee. If you pay, then are the ads free? Are you joking?

The other type of safelist membership is the free one. This indeed looks like you're sending free ads but let's see what a safelist is. Briefly, a safelist is a place joined by people who send ads one another. It's like a marketplace closed for customers, where the sellers are trying to sell one another their products. Did you see such place in real life? Why do you think that you didn't see? ... because it simply doesn't work. Well, as a matter of fact you may get some peanuts, but that's all. That is not a business model. You can call it whatever you want, but not business.

That's it, folks! If you thought like that lady that "free" solo ads is the way to go, then I suggest you to think twice before wasting your time. Once wasted, you'll never get it back.

To Your Success!

Ezine Advertising Sins Revealed

by Adrian Jock

Ezine advertising is a powerful advertising tool that has been used by
internet marketers since the early days of the Internet. Unfortunately, in their money rush some ezine publishers and ezine ad co-ops owners forgot essential words such as honesty and professionalism and gave a bad name to this popular form of advertising. The purpose of this article is to reveal the biggest sins, in order to help you identify and avoid the sinners.

==================================
Fake Subscribers Counts
==================================

The price of an ezine ad is based on the type of ad and the number of subscribers an ezine has. The biggest the number of subscribers, the higher the price.

Due to privacy policies, an advertiser is never supposed to have direct access to an ezine subscribers base. Since the advertiser cannot directly check the number of subscribers, some publishers are faced with a big temptation ... "What if I claim that I have more subscribers in order to charge more and get higher profits? Nobody will know the truth ..."

If you cannot check the subscribers base, then how can you detect such a sinner? By making some simple tests that I will reveal below.

First of all, let's make an assumption: we don't waste our time by testing ezines showing a small number of subscribers, right? Even if the number of subscribers is artificially increased let's say from 500 to 700, the difference in price will be insignificant. We have to look for the big sharks ...

Next assumption: if an ezine has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of subscribers, then that means it is a popular ezine and there have to be a lot of traces on the Internet.

Action: Go to Google and type the ezine's name in inverted commas. If you get only a few results for that "popular" ezine, a couple of sites mentioning the ezine's name and some unhappy customers complaining on forums, then there is a big question mark. A popular ezine that almost no one talks about? To get a lot of subscribers you NEED to have a consistent online presence ...

Last assumption: if an ezine is popular, then it means that the publisher provides great content.

Action: subscribe to the ezine and read it. If the content is poor, if there are tons of ads, if you never see anything written by the publisher himself/herself, then there is another big question mark: why did so many people subscribe and then stayed subscribed? To get nothing? Come on ...

==================================
Ezines Not Published Anymore
==================================

This second sin belongs exclusively to ezine ad co-ops. Ad Co-ops are groups of ezine publishers gathered under the umbrella of an ad co-op owner who sells to her/his customers ad space in all the ezines from the co-op. The ad co-op owner is a kind of ezine ad space broker.

From time to time, some ezines cease to be published, while other ezines just start to be published. Normal life. When an ezine having a big number of subscribers is not published anymore, the broker faces this temptation: "If I remove the ezine from my ad co-op, then the total number of subscribers is significantly decreased and I will have to reduce the prices. What if I don't remove the ezine?"

If you subscribe to all the ezines from that ad co-op, after a period of time you'll find out the truth. What if you're not required to subscribe and you don't subscribe to the ezines because you don't have time to read so many ezines as listed by that ad co-op? Well, that's the catch: this is what the broker hopes!

There is also a simpler way to catch the sinners without wasting too much time: you need inside information from this ezines world. The way is very simple but the information is hard to get.

Let me help you and offer you some information. Here are two really popular ezines, with responsive subscribers, that unfortunately are no longer published since 2008 because their publishers had serious problems in their life: BestNews Marketing Gazette and Boaze Publishing Ezine. Every time when you see someone trying to sell you ad space in these ezines (there are people out there doing it!), just run away. It's really a shame that these sinners profit like this from the hard work done by the publishers of these two ezines. [By the way, if you ever knew Cor, the publisher of BestNews Marketing Gazette, don't forget him in your prayers.]

How to Get the Most Out of Your Solo Ads

By Adrian Jock

Solo ads advertising is the king of ezine advertising but very few advertisers know how to get the most out of it. Warning: sitting there, doing almost nothing and expecting the results to come will never ever make anyone successful. If you're willing to understand this basic principle and you're willing to forget all hype used to grab newbies' attention (and their money), then keep reading this article.

Let me get straight to the point and tell you a simple truth overlooked by the largest part of the ezine advertisers: if you want to make money right now, on the spot, you'll never ever get the most out of your solo ads. In plain English, every time you sell something in your adverts, you leave money on the table, which means that you lose money.

Are you confused? Keep reading ...

Let's pretend that you or your copywriter wrote a perfect advertisement whose goal is to make readers visit a great landing page where you sell a very good ebook. It looks like an ideal situation, right? Well, even if everything is perfect on your side (it will never be perfect, but let's pretend that it is so), on the other side there is a complex world which is far from being perfect in the way YOU like (That's the world of human beings!). That's why let me tell you what the advertising campaign result will be:

1. Some people will not be interested in the topic of your ebook. They will never ever buy your ebook, and you've wasted your money promoting your ebook to them.

2. Other people will be interested in your ebook and let's see what they will do:

* some people will buy your ebook
* for some reason (in the real world, there are plenty of such reasons) some people will save the idea of buying for later. And then most of them will forget about it.
* some people will be undecided (Again, there are a lot of reasons. For example, they don't know you and they are afraid of not being scammed.)
* other people will decide not to buy it (not everyone buys everything she or he is interested in).

As you can see, and most of you already knew it, many readers of your solo ad will not buy your ebook. You can analyze the possible reasons for not buying your ebook and improve the situation, but a lot of people still won't buy it, no matter what you'll do. The main problem is this: you SELL something.

If you want to get the most out of your solo ads, then stop selling. Give something of value for free in exchange of people signing for your own mailing list. Giving away something will remove a lot of blocks. Yes, that's the key: use the solo ads to build your own mailing list. Then, instead of your one time mailing (the solo advert), you will be able to send multiple mailings, people will know you better, and you will have more chances of selling your stuff.

Of course, this method involves work and won't make you money on the spot. But in the long run you'll get much more money than a simple one time solo mailing. It's simple math and this is the path all successful internet marketers are following. Think about it ...

Now it's your turn to decide the way it's gonna be for you.

To Your Success!

Tips for Solo Ads Advertisers: a Reader's View

Solo ads advertising is a great marketing tool for promoting a business or a product online or for building your own mailing list. The same like for any other marketing tool, one of the keys to a successful advertising campaign is to find out how the prospects think and what they are looking for, and then to meet their expectations.

The purpose of this article is to give you an idea on how a solo ads reader thinks and what he doesn't like to see. Of course that what follows is only my own view and you don't have to limit your research only at what one person likes or doesn't like.

Fact # 1 - The more solo adverts I receive daily, the less I read.

Tip # 1 - If you plan to use safelists, forget about it. If you plan to advertise in an ezine, subscribe to that ezine and see how many solo advertisements are sent daily to subscribers. If they are flooded, they are bored. You may not want to promote your business to such a market. Look for ezines that distribute maximum one solo ad per day.

Fact # 2 - My first name in the subject line doesn't make me open that email. The spammers did their marketing homework and I receive many spam emails that contain my first name in the subject line.

Tip # 2 - Forget about first names in email subject lines and use wisely that space. The subject line is very important and if it doesn't grab the reader's attention, your solo ads advertising campaign will be a failure. Recent email marketing reports issued by professional email marketing companies revealed that first names in subject lines are no longer an incentive for opening an email.

Fact # 3 - I don't trust what an advertiser recommends or what she/he guarantees if that advertisement is not signed. [Don't get me wrong: it doesn't mean that I trust any piece of text that is signed.]

Tip # 3 - At the bottom of your solo advertisements always insert your signature that includes a name (your name, a pen name, a business name).

Fact # 4 - Even if I like what you want to sell, if for whatever reason I don't have funds in my account then I won't buy your stuff. Or if I have funds but I'm not convinced that I really need what you sell, I still don't buy your stuff. And then I will forget about it.

Tip # 4 - Instead of trying to sell something, offer an incentive so that the reader to signup for your mailing list. Then you'll have the chance to send me more emails, on different days, and finally you may get me having money in my account and being in a buying mood.

To Your Success!

What Makes A Great Person?

What makes a ‘great’ person great? Is it there money, fame, leadership, personality, IQ, drive and determination.

Well there are many reasons why people consider other people to be ‘great’ but it really can only start in one place…with the individual.

To be considered by others, to be a great person, one must over come many obstacles along the way. It's no different no matter what we strive for, be it in business, relationships, sport, or anything else we try to achieve greatness.

Every person that was, or is considered to be great, started there journey at the beginning!--by great I include attributes such as: a leader of people-successful in business- influential and strong mentally-solves problems for the masses...those who solve problems for few people get paid as such, those who solve problems for the masses get paid a heck of a lot more!

So what level of greatness do you wish to achieve? That is the million dollar question that you may want to ask yourself. Remember...it is much easier to be a failure at something then it is to be a success. To be a failure at something, you really don’t have to do anything…or do very little. To become a success at anything, you will have to work on your plan, work very hard everyday…some parts will be harder then others.

What makes the path to greatness so rewarding is not the end result…it’s the growth that you experience along the way. It’s the person you become, the leader that others seem to be magically attracted to.

Some things to make it easier in your journey...

1) Start at the beginning...I know that sounds like common sense but believe it or not, there are so many people that want to start at the CEO level...with the CEO type pay as well. We would all like to start there, but that’s not the reality…unless you plan on winning the lottery. You have to start at the beginning so you can become the best you can be. How can you lead others if you have never gone through it yourself?

2) Have a clear and concise game plan, a system that will take you where you want to be...and follow it every step of the way. You will have to deviate from it from time to time, but this is only because you will be gaining more knowledge as you go. You’ll be making some mistakes along the way, but as long as you’re learning from those mistakes, and don’t repeat them, you’re on the right path

.

3) Stay on task...one thing at a time. When you try to work on to many projects, or you just get caught up in the 'Next Best Thing'...you will lose focus! Put 100% into one thing, then when you have that working with minimal up keep, then you can move on to your next project. Master one, then move on to the next.

4) Ask for help...keep in mind that when starting out you can not be expected to know everything. No matter what you are trying to achieve, there is someone who has succeeded already. Search people who are experts in the field you are pursuing and ask for help. Most times they are more then happy to share the trials and tribulations they experienced along the way.

You can dramatically cut down your learning curve. You’ve all heard the old saying…’If it aint broke, don’t try and fix it’…pardon the bad grammar…but it’s the absolute truth. If a system works for several highly successful people in your industry, then just copy it.

5) I realize that your budget when you first start out may not be large...sometimes it seems like all everyone is after is your money. That may be true in some cases, but there are lot's of advantages to spending a few dollars to gain an advantage...your budget is limited, so do your research well so you maximize every penny you spend.

So important to do your research, find out what’s working. Focus on one task at a time, and master it, then move on. Follow a proven leader in your field, their system, their mindset, their attitude and such. It’s OK to ask for help, but don’t expect to have all the work done for you…that’s not how you become a great leader and person.

Energize Your eBook Sales – Simple Strategies to Increase Your Profits Today!

You worked so hard to prepare an eBook that’s right on trend in your niche. After the initial burst of sales, all that remains is a trickle of buyers. Even your returns are rising. So what just happened?

The information is solid and unique. Do you have to change the content to pump up the sales? No, but you may need to make simple adjustments to get those sales back on the rise and prevent more refund requests.

Give away free samples. You know how that draws people in the grocery store or at the coffee shop. Everybody wants to try something that’s free. Let prospective buyers have a sample of your eBook.

Provide a link on your website that allows viewers to read a sample chapter. Then circulate that link to every site, forum and discussion group in your niche. The more people who sample your work, the more potential buyers you attract.

The free sample is another way to reduce requests for refunds. The buyer has a chance to see if this is the kind of information and presentation that’s worth buying. You can also add a free look at the table of contents. An informed buyer is more likely to be a satisfied buyer.

Don’t be afraid to highlight the money back guarantee. Rather than prompt refunds, a strong guarantee of satisfaction actually reduces refunds. Add a gold seal or other icon that shows a guarantee symbol.

Buyers want to know that their purchase information is safe. Instead of saying, “ Your order is secure” add to your link “Order Now on our Secure SSL Server” (or other appropriate security message).

Speaking of the Order Now link, apply this several times in your sales letter and in several locations on the sales page. Each time you add more reasons to purchase or add a bonus offer, put in the Order Now link.

Don’t make your prospect search for how to buy. You want to grab them while they’re still overwhelmed by the urge to have what you’re selling. Inside your eBook is another place for the Check New Titles link.

You can add it in the copy a few times as long as you don’t interrupt the flow of the content. Have that link in the opening page with your welcome, in the signature line of your “about the author” page and on the last page of the copy.

If you already have a title for the next eBook, use that in the link. While the reader is enjoying your work, it’s a great time to promote another eBook. Make it easy for a satisfied reader to find and buy more eBooks from you.

Add a bonus survey at the end of the eBook. Ask your reader to “review” this eBook by answering a few questions for a Special Free Bonus Gift. Add the link for the review. When the reader finishes, the review goes into your autoresponder and the Bonus Gift is sent immediately with a note from you.

The Bonus Gift is the incentive to complete the survey. You can get useful information from your readers that will help in targeting your next product. But even if the survey information isn’t that important, it’s a way to build a relationship with your buyers. Let them know what you have to offer and give past buyers the first chance to get your newest information products.

Do You Ever Wonder Why Some Attract and Some Repel Success?

Do you ever wonder why some people seem to attract success...and some seem to attract failure?

Well T Harv Eker once said, 'You not only have to be in the right place at the right time...you have to be the right person, in the right place at the right time.'

So true are those words, you see it's all about having the proper mindset to move further on things, and take advantage of the great opportunities when they present themselves.

Developing the proper mindset is the one big key that all successful people have in common. It doesn't matter that you don't know every single thing about the opportunity, if you have developed the proper mindset, you spot potential opportunities at light speed, and you'll have the ability to act upon them.

By realizing that you have the most powerful computing system, your own brain, and learning how to use it to it's fullest capacity, only then will you be on your way to having the proper necessary tools to be successful.

Here are some great teachers that have helped me immensely, and can do the same for you. If you don't start with the MOST IMPORTANT element of success...yourself...you will forever struggle to find the successes you desire in every aspect of you life!

T. Harv Eker
Tony Robbins
Zig Ziglar
Joe Vitale...just to name a few.

If you want to build a house, find someone that has already built several, and follow their system to reach your end goal, a new house. If you want to find success in your business, and gain the financial freedom you desire, find someone who has already attained what you desire, and follow the system they have used to attain their success.

Don't make things more complicated then they really are. Don't be fooled by those that tell you that your dreams and goals are unreachable. Don't be fooled by those that tell you that their is little or no work involved in becoming successful.

Heck, it's easy to be a failure at things...just do nothing...but to be a success at anything, you'll have to work at it every single day.

Success: 4 Things you Must Know

Like everything we do in life, whether it's riding a bike, learning to sail, or starting a business, there are things you must be aware of, things you must learn. In this article you will learn the 4 most crucial steps to gain control in every area of your life.

1) Change your mental programming...if you are not achieving what you want in your
life, it could be your past conditioning to certain events. Your brain automatically congers up the feelings of a past memory, and based on how that past memory made you feel, this is how you deal the current situation**You must decide at that point, do you let that control you or....do you choose to form a different mental note from this day forward....this is the right path!

Choose now to begin again, to start new. When was the last time you tried something new and different. I just recently started up a brand new business, with very little knowledge in that industry, but I saw the tremendous opportunity and acted immediately...only 1 month in and my partner and I are already realizing the profits.

Here's a little thing you can try to get your brain trained to change. Step outside your comfort zone, do something that's 'out of the norm' for you. This can be a little as going to the movies by yourself, or something as much as skydiving....I've done the skydiving, but not the movie thing yet....but that will change 'your norm' forever, and now you have an expanded comfort zone.

Please note...you don't change in a day, week, month or even a year, but remember this, that you must improve only a small percentage everyday in order to succeed. If you improve 1% everyday…in only one year you would have improved 365%.

It’s easy to fail…you just do nothing!

2) Never stop Learning....to be educated is key #2...you must continue to learn everyday, and don't be scared to ask for help or assistance, this is how we learn. I don't know everything, and neither do all the gurus...they all continue to learn everyday.....because if you're not learning(or growing as person) you're dying. Even if you only gain one piece of new knowledge from an eBook or course, that’s OK. That one little piece could make you, or save you, 1000’s of $$ in the future.

You’ll find that the most successful people in your industry also spend the most on new learning materials…eBooks, seminars, courses, etc…

3) Take action…not only do you have to continue to educate yourself, everyday, but you have to do something with that knew found knowledge.

The knowledge you gain is ONLY useful when you act upon it. If all your doing is learning, without taking action, you may as well stop right there…knowledge without action is useless.

The biggest mistake I see happening today is that people think they have to KNOW everything about everything in their field, before they act. That is the wrong way to think. Gain some knowledge, then act…gain some more, and act again. If you’re waiting to have all the answers, to every question, you will NEVER start anything.

4) Do onto others....one of the oldest saying around, you've heard it before, and I truly believe that this alone can change a person so dramatically! If you've never done this, try it. Start treating those that surround you as though they are all a part of you...just because someone has treated you bad, do not pay that forward, which so often happens. It's like a husband has a really bad day at work and comes home and kicks the dog, and yells at the kids, because he feels a need to release the anger that has created itself from others towards him.

This is one of the hardest keys to change, but one that must! We must hear a lot of no’s to get closer to the success we desire…Col. Sanders was refused by more then 65 restaurants before his chicken recipe was accepted…and he was like 64 years old
when he started! Each ‘no’ brings us closer to our dreams. What would have happened if he would have given up after one, two, three of fifty ‘no’s’

Never let the path of others determine which road you'll travel down. Never give in...and never give up!

6 Reasons Why Home Based Business Will BOOM in 2009

In spite of one of the worst recessions / depressions in history going on, many different home based businesses will actual flourish and grow.

With over 3 million people losing their jobs in the U.S. in 2008, and that number
predicted to increase in 2009, and the fact that larger companies are feeling the crunch, and drastically cutting their work forces, the low start up costs and tax benefits, opens up the opportunity for home based businesses to thrive. 1000's of home based businesses start up everyday, with the number expecting to increase in 2009.

I've listed 6 reasons why home based businesses will remain very solid, and even
increase their numbers across the board.

1) Outsourcing - With the downsizing of the larger corporations, shedding jobs and
and services that use to be handled 'in-house', and not able to hire back these full time employees, ultimately leads to gaps in knowledge and abilities of the company. More and more larger companies, that still need to carry out these vital functions, will be looking to outsource many of them.

Rather then hiring a full time employee, and paying their salary, benefits and such, they will be looking outside their corporate walls to fill these duties with contract type work.

2) Telecommuting - For the same reasons as mentioned above, with regards to companies
cutting their expenses, more are moving towards having their employees do the same work, but from their own home. This dramatically cuts their overhead of maintaining their offices, leasing, supplies etc, while still having the job function taken care of.

3) Lay Offs - With 3 million losing their jobs in 2008, and more in 2009, more and morepeople will be attracted to home based businesses because of low start up costs and overhead. Small business is a driving force in the economy, with more people searching for alternative options, and realizing the great tax benefits of starting a home based business, they will continue to grow in numbers and be very important part of the overall economy.

4) New Opportunities - With any change in the economy, good or bad, always bring new
opportunities. It's always true, but only those willing to seek them out, and take the plunge will succeed. You see, you not only have to be in the RIGHT place at the RIGHT time, you have to be the RIGHT person, in the RIGHT place, at the RIGHT time.
When markets are down, be it real estate or stocks, people are able to buy at substantial savings as high as 50-75% of the former value. There is more wealth created in down times then an other time, no matter what the market is.

5) Consulting - Many high level, knowledge based people losing their jobs, have specific knowledge and information in their field of expertise. This knowledge can be turned into a consulting business very easily and quickly. If you have the expert knowledge in your field such as; cutting costs by turning a company into a cost effective 'green' operation, then companies will be willing to pay you for this information.

Even if you're not an expert now, you can always educate yourself in what ever area you choose. Knowledge is powerful, and companies will gladly pay for it, so long as they can realize the benefits.

6) Need for High Tech - Because of company downsizing, more people telecommuting, companies outsourcing and more people starting home based businesses, the need for high tech data and voice communications, broadband and wireless solutions are higher then ever before. But unlike the usual scenario - when demand is high, so to is price - high tech is the one thing that actually decreases in price as demand goes up.

Are You a 'Tigger' or an 'Eeyore' The Last Lecture. Dr. Pausch Passed on the Oprah Winfrey show

This is the last lecture that Dr. Randy Pausch gave before he passed away July 25 2008. He gave it on the Oprah Winfrey show. He talks not about death, but rather on life and how to live it, and also about never forgetting your childhood dreams.

You better decide early on in your life if you're a 'Tigger' or an 'Eeyore'

Why do we lose that ability to dream like we did when we were children. When we're kids, anything is possible. Unfortunately, when we grow up into adulthood, we are surrounded by those who constantly tell us...what is, and what isn't possible in our lives.

If you knew when your last day on this planet would be, what would you want to tell the world? This is an absolutely incredible talk, remembering it's the last one that Dr. Randy Pausch ever gave.

Born Without Eyes...And You Got It Bad?

Next time you're feeling sorry for yourself, or feeling like you just want it pack it in...think of Patrick Henry Hughes. Watch this video...and don't ever feel that self pity again. You can overcome anything you set your mind to...no matter what your circumstances are!!

7 Places to Find Niche Market Ideas

Most people will tell you to find a niche market that you have interest in or a hobby of yours…well, I’m here to tell where my interests lie…making money. You can find so many different possible niche markets that will cost little $$ to enter, and have so much up side, that you would never find…or never even think of, without doing some searching around…in all sorts of different places.

They may not be one of your major interests or hobbies, but I guarantee that you’ll develop an interest when you discover how much money is available in a specific market.

Expand your range of niche topics to research. I think I’m like most out there, if there’s money to made in any market, I can get interested in it pretty quick…without to much trouble.

If you’re having trouble trying to find some ideas, or where to find some ideas, I’ve put together this report in hopes that it will show you some different places and ways to find lucrative niche markets.

1) Read the newspaper – either online or offline, scan through local and national newspapers to gather some ideas. Look for common questions or topics being reported on. Find one that seems to have a lot of interest, and questions being asked, and away you go.

2) Look on forums – Google any topic like ‘your topic + forums’ and see what pops up. Visit the different forums and see what people are talking about. See what questions they’re asking…and if they’re getting any answers, and what answers they’re getting. Give them the answers they’re seeking, or provide them with better answers, and you’ve found a possible niche market.

3) Look on YouTube – search around the video site and see what is being viewed. The beauty is, you can see exactly how many times each video has been watched. You can instantly gauge how popular that particular topic is. YouTube is great because videos can become so viral, with people sharing them around the world at light speed. There are a ton of great ideas you can get using YouTube.

4) Visit Amazon.com – you can search the books, software, magazines etc. You can find tons of different ideas, on all sorts of subjects that you may not have ever thought of. You can instantly see how popular different books and software products are on Amazon, simply by looking at their ‘Amazon sales rating.’

5) Look in ClickBank Market Place – You can search around ClickBank to find hot niche markets. You can see how popular a particular item is by the ‘gravity’ ranking. The higher the ‘gravity’ the more popular the item. You can even find products to sell in almost any niche market out there. Be sure to research your market before jumping right in. For instance…if you see a product with and incredible ‘gravity’ 300-400, there may be to many people promoting, and it may cost you a fortune to enter that market. Besides that, you’ll find hundreds of different ideas to investigate further.

6) Look on eBay – you can easily see thousands of products and services that people are selling, and people are willing to pay for. Do some targeted searches, and focus in on some targeted areas.

7) Google it – use the biggest market research viability tool out there. Type in some common questions, or just type portions of questions, like the examples below. Your results will turn up thousands of potential topics, in a wide variety of areas

When doing your niche market research, always do it as though you were looking for the answers yourself. Some examples that you can just fill in the blanks……………

- How to…………….
- Save time…………….
- Save money…………
- Find…………..
- Review on………..
- Unique or rare…………..
- Proven methods to……………….
- Step by step system for……………….
- Build a …………………..

These are just a small sample of different ways that you find some ideas for your very own niche market. Always keep an open mind when doing you research because you never know where that, crazy, previously unthinkable little niche market may come from.

Once you’ve decided to open your mind, and start looking for a niche market to enter, you’ll be amazed at how many your mind will come up with. Like any training or exercise, the more times you repeat this process, the easier, faster, and more focused it will become.

Anytime you research any possible niche market, be sure to do your best research on the: keyword search counts, the competitors in that market, possible products or services to offer (that may not be offered today). Even if there are products or services in your chosen market, one easy way is to make improvements to them. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel…just offer better solutions to their problems.
