Article Body: In the past year, Google Adsense has become the "It" way to make money on the Internet.

But even if you already use Google Adsense on your site, you are probably leaving money on the table. Let me explain why...

Most people create a site, slap some content and then wait for people to click on their ads.

But once people click on an ad, they are gone....probably forever!

One method that smart Internet marketers use to maximize their Google Adsense is to harness the power of their email list. By getting people to subscribe to their list, website owners can continue to make money from their readers.

By utilizing the power of their email list, website owners can dramatically increase their Adsense income.

Here is how you can do the same. In the following article, there is a step-by-step list of how you can harness the power of your list to create a steady stream of Adsense revenue.

The first step is to create a topic that is in high demand. A good topic would be something that people have an interest in, or information that can help your readers personally or financially.

Your next action would be to create content for your site. The idea is to write or use information that would provide value to the reader. All your articles should help improve their life in some manner. You can create content for your site in a large numbers of ways. This can include:

· Your own web articles · Guides, product evaluations, and "How To's" · Blogs and RSS Feeds · Public domain works · Private label rights · Hiring a freelancer to write your content

Obviously creating content for your site is an ongoing process, so once you've created at least 10 pages of quality information for your readers, you should create your web pages and optimize them for Google Adsense.

As you are designing your pages for Adsense, you should keep one thing in mind- Your primary goal is to get people to click on your Adsense ads.

So don't give your readers too many options. As a result, it is important to keep your web page simple. To do this, you should include do the following:

"What Really Makes You Tick?" 10 questions you should ask to yourself: a preparation to self-improvement

2010-05-05T11:17:00.003-06:00

Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it's hard to think of anything else when where are real issues to be discussed.

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

So we're all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn't even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?

The problem is that the invincibility we feel as kids, and the dreams we have seem to get squashed by those we are closest too as we reach adulthood. This is one of the biggest reasons that most never attain what they truly desire in life. Why would you let others tell you that you can't attain something you're striving for, when in reality, they have never even tried to do what you're reaching for.

1. What do I really want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

2. Should I really change?
Today's generation has taken another level of redefining 'self', or at least that's what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?

If history has taught us one thing, it's the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.

3. What's the bright side in all of this?
With so much happening around us there seems to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it's a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!

4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?
There's always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.

5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you'll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.

6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It's an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life! Don't just be the best you can be...be MORE then you can be, give more then you can give and your returns will come flowing back, 10, 20 100 fold.

7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don't have an answer to that, but that doesn't mean I can't try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit. Changing the way in which you think about yourself will inevitably change the way in which others look at you.

8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such things on having things too much or too little, but it's more on how badly you really need it. I'd like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it? The more you give of yourself to others...the more others will give onto you...it's one of the laws of the Universe...you can't change it.

9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the hardest part. It's not like you can't have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just try it piece by piece. If your 'WHY' is biggest enough, then you will overcome any and all obstacles in your path to get what you want.

10. What Really Makes You Tick?
So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it's something that you really want. Most people never start their journey to attain what they truly desire...therefore, if you just get started on your journey then you'll be miles ahead of the majority of people out there.

If you simply start to change the way in which you look at things, the things you look at will change. Changing your mindset is something that every single one of us has the power to do. It's a choice that we can all make, no matter who we are, or where we are in our lives.

It takes some hard work to be successful in anything, and if someone tells you that it doesn't, their lying to you. It's much easier to be a failure in life, you simply don't have to do anything...but if you only improve yourself 1% per day, then you'll see a 365% improvement in only 1 year.

"Who's the Boss?" 10 ways to start taking control - Time Management, Goal Setting, Record Tracking

At first glance, it would seem that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many of us with ADD develop negative thinking patterns because we become frustrated by our challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage those challenges and move forward.

Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on our strengths and accomplishments, which increases happiness and motivation. This, in turn, allows us to spend more time making progress, and less time feeling down and stuck. The following tips provide practical suggestions that you can use to help you shift into more positive thinking patterns:

1. Take Good Care of Yourself

It's much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest. A healthy body means a healthy mind...they absolutely go hand-in-hand.

2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For

Stresses and challenges don't seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference. Everyone has something in their lives to be greatful for.

3. Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions

A fear of not being liked or accepted sometimes leads us to assume that we know what others are thinking, but our fears are usually not reality. If you have a fear that a friend or family member's bad mood is due to something you did, or that your co-workers are secretly gossiping about you when you turn your back, speak up and ask them. Don't waste time worrying that you did something wrong unless you have proof that there is something to worry about. 99% of the time, the things we worry about never come to pass.

4. Refrain from Using Absolutes

Have you ever told a partner "You're ALWAYS late!" or complained to a friend "You NEVER call me!"? Thinking and speaking in absolutes like 'always' and 'never' makes the situation seem worse than it is, and programs your brain into believing that certain people are incapable of delivering.

5. Detach From Negative Thoughts

Your thoughts can't hold any power over you if you don't judge them. If you notice yourself having a negative thought, detach from it, witness it, and don't follow it. Make a concious decision to change that thought pattern immediately, then, and only then, will you start to make positive changes in you life.

6. Squash the "ANTs"

In his book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life," Dr. Daniel Amen talks about "ANTs" - Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are the bad thoughts that are usually reactionary, like "Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me," or "The boss wants to see me? It must be bad!" When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than ANTs and squash them!

7. Practice Lovin', Touchin' & Squeezin' (Your Friends and Family)

You don't have to be an expert to know the benefits of a good hug. Positive physical contact with friends, loved ones, and even pets, is an instant pick-me-up. One research study on this subject had a waitress touch some of her customers on the arm as she handed them their checks. She received higher tips from these customers than from the ones she didn't touch!

8. Increase Your Social Activity

By increasing social activity, you decrease loneliness. Surround yourself with healthy, happy people, and their positive energy will affect you in a positive way! Surround yourself with "Like Minded People" and watch as it WILL transform you and your beliefs.

9. Volunteer for an Organization, or Help another Person

Everyone feels good after helping. You can volunteer your time, your money, or your resources. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return. You must give without want, before you can receive.

10. Use Pattern Interrupts to Combat Rumination

If you find yourself ruminating, a great way to stop it is to interrupt the pattern and force yourself to do something completely different. Rumination is like hyper-focus on something negative. It's never productive, because it's not rational or solution-oriented, it's just excessive worry. Try changing your physical environment - go for a walk or run or sit outside. You could also call a friend, pick up a book, or turn on some music.

When it comes to the corporate world, protocol is pretty much the religion. To know the things needed to do are the basics of productivity, but interaction and having a steady mind makes up the entire thing to true productivity. There are those who seem to work well even under pressure, but they're uncommon ones and we are human and imperfect.

To get these little things like stress under our skins won't solve our problems. Sometimes it takes a bit of courage to admit that we're turning to be workaholics than tell ourselves that we're not doing our best. Don't every worry about what others may think of you...after all, 99.9% of them will NEVER even cry at your funeral!

The Easiest Way To Outsell Other Affiliates

2010-03-17T10:50:00.003-06:00

Below you will find a guest article from Jimmy D. Brown, developer of the Mutiple Streams Theme wordpress blog theme.

For more information on turning on ten "built-in" ways to make money from your blog, visit InfoProfitSaher.com

---------------------------------------------------------

If you’re an affiliate marketer, then you’re always looking over your shoulder to see if the competition – your fellow affiliates – are catching up to you. Or, worse than that, you’re looking up ahead trying to catch up with them!

At times any market can be crowded, so selling the same thing to the same group of people means you’re lucky to get just a small share of the market. Imagine having thirty-five Wal-Mart stores in one small town, all competing with each other to get the local business. You get the idea.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. The easiest way to outsell other affiliates is this…

Turn your AFFILIATE offer into a UNIQUE offer!

You see, most affiliates try to sell the product as is. If your prospects are shopping around, they’re going to skip all the “buy from me” offers.

Instead, they’re going to focus on those offers that give them an incentive to buy. And that means you can outsell the other affiliates simply by offering a bonus product to anyone who buys through your affiliate link.

I’ve been teaching this concept since 2001 and, all things being equal, those affiliates who put this into practice will outsell those who don’t virtually 100% of the time.

It’s a very simple strategy. Let’s break it down into three steps…

Step 1: CHOOSE Your Incentive

Your goal is to make your offer stand out from the crowd by offering an incentive to buy from your link, thereby boosting your conversion rate. And that means you need to offer a bonus that enhances or otherwise complements the affiliate product.

Did you catch that? Your bonus should “enhance” or “complement” the product you are promoting as an affiliate. That’s what makes for the best incentive.

------------- Case Study -----------

Let me give you a “real” case study (not made up … actually done by one of my customers).

A customer – who is also one of my affiliates – recently purchased my Multiple Streams Theme wordpress blog theme. He loaded it to his site. Then, he invested a little time writing a small report that teaches how to customize and tweak the theme. He offered this small report, filled with insider shortcuts and tips for enhancing the theme, as an incentive to anyone who ordered the Multiple Streams Theme through his affiliate link.

Brilliant.

I’m just guessing, but I bet the report didn’t take him half an hour to write. He just logged his own personal experiences. And yet it has high value to anyone who has plans to order the theme.

That’s how you outsell other affiliates. You turn your AFFILIATE offer into a UNIQUE OFFER.

------------- Case Study -----------

One way to do this is by reading the sales letter for the product and choosing one particularly enticing bullet point.

Example #1: If the sales letter tells prospects they can learn how to get traffic from social media sites, then you can create a report called “27 Ways to Use Social Media to Drive Traffic to Any Website!”

Example #2: If the sales page for a diet book promises a month of low calorie recipes to customers, you can create a supplementary low calorie recipe book and give it away to those who buy from your link.

Example #3: If you’re promoting a dog training book and you see a bullet point about eliminating bad behaviors such as jumping, incessant barking, digging in the gardening, etc. You can create a report or even a video called, “The Secrets of Training the Perfect Dog: How to Keep Your Dog’s Paws Off Your Guests, Off Your Counters and Out of Your Garden!”

The point is, your freebie should be directly related to the affiliate offer. You want your prospects to buy through your link just because the incentive is so enticing.

What kind of incentive? You can do videos, software, coaching, advertising, installations, services, etc.

But, “pound for pound”, the best and easiest incentive to create is a small report.

Step 2: CREATE Your Incentive

Once you decide on the topic, your next step is to create the bonus product. If you’re creating a short report or video, you can probably finish it in one day. Otherwise, you can hire a trusted freelancer to do it, which frees your time to focus on marketing the offer!

Tip: You find ghostwriters on sites like WarriorForum.com, Elance.com, and GetAFreelancer.com. You can also ask for recommendations from your colleagues via your social networks or on business forums.

Step 3: CIRCULATE Your Incentive.

Finally, your last step is to promote your offer by letting prospects know that anyone who buys the affiliate product using your link will get the bonus product.

Let your list know. Tell your blog readers. Tweet about it. Purchase advertising. Distribute free marketing materials such as ezine articles. Mention it in sig files at forums. You know the drill.

Now, there are a few ways to deliver the product:

1. On the download page. If you’ve developed a relationship with the product vendor, he may agree to set up a special sales page that promotes the bonus plus a special download page so that customers can download it instantly after purchasing.

2. Manually. You can have customers forward their receipts and then you send them the link to the bonus.

3. Automatically. You can also set up a special email address with an autoresponder, so that anyone who sends you a receipt gets the download link automatically. (Naturally, some people will try to “cheat” this system.)

And there you have it – the simple three-step strategy you can use to outsell your competitors and put more money in your pocket.

It’s so easy you could be making more money by tomorrow… if you get started today!

Earning from Private Label Rights

2010-03-12T12:04:00.000-07:00

'Private label rights' (PLR) are demonstrated in a license or an authorization which comes with information products, such as e-books and articles that you can buy. These rights allow you to modify, alter, rearrange and enhance the products' contents to fit your requirements. PLR is the fastest and easiest way to start to brand yourself and your business as an expert in your field.

You may split e-book or article chapters and then sell them not as one whole e-book, but as a 'series' or sequence of articles. You can also do the reverse; when you have purchased a collection of PLR articles you can bring them all together into one well-designed special report or novel e-Book or.

Likewise, you can add any relevant information on a certain PLR content without the need of asking the original author's permission.

The best feature, however, when purchasing PLR information products is that, generally, after you have completely revised the article you can display your own name as being content's author, without the need to pay for royalties or the services of a ghostwriter.

Benefits of private label rights:

1. Permits you create or produce up with an assortment of new articles from one original source. Because you are licensed to alter and modify the contents so to match your requirements, you then have the freedom to repackage certain information products as novel or e-book offers for several different markets.

2. Gives you consent so that you can improve, by way of adding information on a content that you find lacking, or delete irrelevant information. Some products may disappoint you if they do not measure up with your standards; however PLR products gives you the right to adjust the article's content when are not contented with how it was formatted and written.

3. PLR articles are the right choice when it comes to branding yourself as well as your online business. There is a need for you to let the world know that a business like yours exists. With PLR modified and revised products and labeling them as your work, you will impress prospects as well as establish yourself as an expert in your field, gaining the trust of online users and you will be remembered when they will need your service or products.

However, note that purchasers of PLR products are not only the ones who earn, but also the PLR product's creator and can consider this path, to offer his books at a higher price knowing all the benefits it offers to the buyers.

Where to use private label content?

1. Links. Rewrite some articles and submit them to free article directories. Do remember that you need to revise your articles first, before submitting them, as the directories can penalize you.

2. Enhance your list. You can offer e-Books or eCourses as free incentive for visitors to enroll in your opt-in mailing list or offer report as bonuses when they sign up.

3. Improve online sales. Your revised articles can be used to update online prospects about a certain subject then incorporate links to associated product pages or links to affiliate programs.

4. Become an expert in your field. You can rewrite and reconstruct a 'private label rights' articles for use in several articles so to construct an originally created e-Book.

'5. Improve website income. Use keyword-rich articles in your website to earn additional income with 'Google Adsense'.

Guidelines to modifying private label content:

1. Keep in mind that 'private label content' is the expression of someone's personality and ideas. Begin by transforming the title as well as the tone of the article.

2. Rewrite totally your opening paragraph. Search your vocabulary so that you can state the same things in a different way. You can make use of your Thesaurus tool and look for alternative words.

3. Go through your entire article. Add or remove sentences when you distinguish mistakes. Add also new ideas to spread out your article or split a very lengthy content into two articles.

4. Rewriting the ending. Be certain that your article entices the readers to perform what you need them to perform, be it buying a certain product, enrolling for a newsletter or going through your site.

5. Check for grammatical or spelling errors and be certain to compose a keyword rich article.

'Private label rights' can enhance your online business in so many ways. When you come across a good quality information product that gives you the freedom to change its substance and then acknowledge as your own, then it will be worth to investigate the profitability of buying it.

Since more and more people are finding out about the joys of working as a freelance outsourcer, here's a quick blast of the top seven benefits of being a freelance worker.

1. You don't work for one boss. You are free from the slavery of having to get up at a certain time, travel to an office, take your launch at a certain time and be dependent on a company whose financial future may not be that secure. As a freelance worker, you can come and go as you please, choose your own hours and do whatever type of work you want.

2. There's always work there when you want it. As a freelancer, the amount of jobs is literally unlimited. As more and more people move online to try and generate income, the demand for freelancers is exploding all over the world. Any time you want work, there's more than enough to around.

3. You can work from anywhere you like. All you need to be a freelancer is an Internet connection and a computer. The rest is detail. Working from anywhere you like is liberating since it puts no limits on the amount and number of holidays you can take every year. You fancy a two months vacation in Florida, it is there where you want it. Bring your laptop and work for a few hours every day.

4. You save a fortune on work related expenses. No longer do you have to buy expensive suits, train tickets, travel expenses, lunches or any of the other frivolous expenditures we must endure when we're working. Since you’re at home all day, you can work in your pyjamas or eat straight from your own refrigerator. You don't do any commuting so you save a fortune on gas or bus and rail fares.

5. The work is varied and interesting. The freelancing you do is almost completely on limited by its direction. If you fancy working in graphic design, all you have to do is spend a little while to learn photoshop, buy a few template packages and away you go. Want to work as a writer? Learn what website owners want and before you know it, you’ll have more work that will be able to handle.

6. You are free from the economic slump. Freelancers don't feel economic slump anywhere nearly as badly as other workers in society. This is because, as company profits come under pressure, the companies outsource more and more of the functions of the business. This outsourced work is picked up by freelancers. This ensures that the volume of work is never-ending.

In addition to this, the environment in outsourcing is so fluid that doesn't matter what the economy is doing, there are always going to be niches in a boom. This is especially true in writing. Webmasters respond to the economic environment and so does the volume of writing they require in specific niches. Right now, writing about debt is a big area. Most people could master the key elements of managing debt in a few days.

7. You don't need any skills or experience. Anyone can work as an outsourcer without any skills or previous experience. In order to generate an income online, all you need to know would be how to write a simple article. If you studied English in high school, you can write an article better than many of the people who are currently charging for their work.

Barry Walls trains people with no previous skills or experience to become a high performing freelance writers and earn over $1,000 per day at Strategic Outsourcers His students are replacing full time incomes with in a couple of weeks doing some of the simplest tasks which website owners require. Check it out for yourself. Go to Strategic Outsourcers.com today.

Timing

2010-02-01T17:42:00.000-07:00

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.

Outsourcing Weekly - Product Review

2009-12-07T21:21:00.002-07:00

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

2009-12-02T12:44:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-13T15:49:00.001-06:00

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.

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

2009-08-30T17:30:00.001-06:00

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'

2009-08-29T15:16:00.002-06:00

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?

2009-08-27T13:27:00.001-06:00

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

2009-08-25T12:00:00.000-06:00

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!

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

2009-07-05T19:39:00.003-06:00

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

2009-06-22T14:24:00.002-06:00

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

2009-06-08T12:15:00.002-06:00

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.

To Your Success!

Free Solo Ads - Stop Lying to Yourself!

2009-06-07T12:30:00.002-06:00

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

2009-06-05T12:28:00.005-06:00

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

2009-06-01T14:55:00.003-06:00

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

2009-05-30T13:20:00.008-06:00

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?

2009-05-15T13:49:00.000-06:00

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!

2009-04-30T10:37:00.000-06:00

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?

2009-04-20T13:47:00.004-06:00

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

2009-04-07T11:52:00.007-06:00

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

2009-02-27T11:42:00.004-07:00

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

2009-02-11T11:58:00.006-07:00

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.

7 Places to Find Niche Market Ideas

2009-02-01T16:10:00.000-07:00

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.

How Deep are Your Roots?

2009-01-18T12:49:00.006-07:00

It's the biggest question that most Internet marketers, and business owners are asking...'How can I be successful and make money with my business?...or 'Why can't I make money with my business?

Those are two of the questions that I get asked all the time. A lot of people would answer those in different ways. Some would say it's your program, it's your product, it's your lack of advertising etc...they would try and breakdown your marketing efforts and pin the failures on just that, your marketing.

To me there's only one answer...are you ready? More than 90% of the time there is only one answer to that question...it's YOU! Look, if others are making money and being successful promoting the same products and services within your company, or similar companies, then the reason your not is; not the company, it's not the product or service you sell, it's not the compensation plan, because those that are successful are using those same basic resources that you are.

So...if your not succeeding and you know others are, then the only answer would have to be YOU...wouldn't it?

I love to use pro sports analogy to get my point across. Most of the time with pro athletes, those that perform the best get paid the best. And to perform the best you must first work on YOU...so you can be the best you can be in your chosen field.

I know this may be hard for you to swallow but the fact remains, if you want to be a success in your business, you first have to work on 'being the best you can be' period.

When you look at a tree, you see the trunk, the branches and leaves. What you don't see is the most important part of any tree...the roots. The roots go deep in the earth to give the tree the stability to withstand the elements of nature that would otherwise topple the tree over.

Where I live, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, we are famous for our 'Chinook Winds' that blow. A Chinook is a warm, westerly wind that blow throughout the year. They can change the temperature form -20c to + 10c in a matter of hours. They can reach speeds of 60 to 80 miles per hour. With winds like that, the trees here must have better root systems then most other places in the world...and they do. Nature has realized that the only way the tree will remain standing, flourish and grow, is to have a deep rooted system in place...right from the beginning.

Once you work on building a solid root system or base for your business, only then will you have the stability to withstand everything that will be thrown at, tearing down your successes. Only then will you have the ability to focus on exactly what you need to be doing to continue to build, expand and grow your business.

Start at the roots, then build upwards. When you take this advice, and use it, there will be no stopping your march to the top.

She Never Let Anyone See Her Teeth...Why?

2009-01-13T16:59:00.006-07:00

A while back, when I was working in the retail grocery business, there was a cashier that I'll never forget. She was very attractive and yet every time she would start to talk to someone, her hand would cover her mouth. I finally asked an associate about this odd situation, and this is what he said.

Apparently when she was younger, she would get teased about her teeth. I found out that not only would her classmates tease her, but that her parents would actually make remarks about her teeth as well. I know kids can be cruel, but her own parents?

Well I did happen to catch a glimpse of her teeth one day, and they really weren't that bad, I mean I've seen much worse. But the fact of the matter was this...she had been programmed, at an early age, that her teeth were hideous looking. So she choose to believe that for the rest of her life and cover them up every time she opened her mouth.

Much in the same way, we get programmed at a very early age about many things that can last a life time. One of the most damming things is what we were taught, or not taught about money...making it, spending it, saving it, investing it and so on. We usually learn most of that by watching the way in which our parents handled their money issues.

In order to dramatically increase your chances for success, in anything, you have to reprogram your brain in order for you to move forward. Until you change your inner thoughts and beliefs, the way in which you view things, your results will never be as you want them. It doesn't matter how hard you work, how smart you think you are, how many successful friends you have.

"Once you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." That's a quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer, and it's dead on.

It all starts and ends with you...period. There's no one who can force you to change your inner thoughts, which directly result in your current actions, and are also the results of your current situation.

Some things you can do if you want to change...find a good mentor, read a good book, attend a seminar, listen to a good audio or watch a video on the subject.

Change your mind...change your life!

Thats a Pyramid Scheme!

2009-01-11T19:28:00.004-07:00

The next time someone asks you if your network marketing business is a 'pyramid scheme' you can use the Bernard Madoff story to show them what a pyramid scheme really is. The biggest con in history, Madoff bilked his investors out of a reported 50 Billion dollars. And some of the investors were big named Wallstreet businesses as well as high profile Hollywood personalities.

Next time you see the next big, can't miss opportunity, you'll do your due diligence and research and investigate it properly, so you don't get duped. When so many people are looking for that easy payday, with little or no work involved, it's easy to see how these scams can get so big.

With the anonymity of the Internet, now more then ever before, you have to be careful where you invest you time and money. There are tons of shady business dealings promising fantastic returns on your money and time investments.

I used to think' how can people be so naive' and not just a couple, but literally thousands upon thousands of people...and then, well here's my story...

I almost got involved with a scheme dealing in the Forex money markets. Guaranteeing 25-30% returns in as little as 14 days. One of my subscribers was investing their money for a few months, and they were getting back the big returns. Well I half heartedly researched it, then I started to fill out the necessary forms in order to join. I was going to start with a small investment, then reinvest the returns...well I'm glad the confirmation process for the money transferring company took a few days because 2 days later I got an email from my subscriber that recommended it saying - that her returns were not coming in anymore - wow...that was close.

Now I wasn't going to invest my life savings or anything like that, which a lot of people do, but even losing a few hundred bucks in a scam like that would have driven me crazy!

The problem is that most of the people that get involved with these types of ponzi schemes do so on the advice of family and friends. So they really just trust the fact that it's all above board because of who introduced them to it. If a friend or family member wants you to put your time and money into a can't miss opportunity, you should really investigate as if your life depended on it...because it just may.

It Doesn't Matter if You Promote Web Prosperity - The Key is Focus

2009-01-08T20:23:00.005-07:00

Boy...Web Prosperity is all everyone's talking about these days. It's the next 'big' launch that's going on right now. Some are so against it, saying things like it's a scam, another money grab etc...while others are in support of it, stating that it offers some useful tools and resources that are a lot cheaper then if you went out and bought separately.

I'm neither for, nor am I against Web Prosperity. What I am against is the fact that there will be thousands that jump on board. They jump on board because of the promise to be the next big thing. Plug in and let our system do the work for you. We've all heard that before.

The fact of the matter is this: it doesn't matter what you're promoting on the 'net...it only matters that 1) It's a quality product or program 2) It delivers great value to it's users. Of course you must do your own investigation into the comapany, founders, comp plan etc...

Once you have done your own research into the program, product, company etc... then you must focus on 'it' and only 'it' until it is producing the profits that you desire. Don't go and jump on the next 'big' thing that comes out. If you just keep jumping on the next one, I promise you that you'll never make a cent, in fact it will cost you money.

When I first started out in Internet marketing, about 9 years ago, I did the same thing. Saw a new program or system that promised the world, jumped on, saw the next one, jumped on, saw the next one, jumped on...and before I knew it, I was forking over money month after month.

The only way to be successful (making money) is to focus on one thing at a time. Once you have one business up and making money, then, and ONLY then can you choose to move on to the next income stream. And the best part is this...once you have your initial business, getting traffic, producing leads and making money, the next one you set up will be easier, faster and even more profitable then the previous.

By now you've all heard and seen the prelaunch of Web Prosperity. Are you going to join? Well let me tell you that thousands already have, and I'm sure some will make a little money, some will make a lot of money...but most will not make a cent, in fact they'll probably lose money!

If you're like a lot of people struggling to make a dollar online, then chances are you'll join another program like Web Prosperity, and start all over again, refocusing on something different.

I'm not saying that Web Prosperity is good or bad, right or wrong. What I am saying is that if you continually join and promote the 'next big thing' you'll struggle for the rest of your life trying to make money online.

If you don't focus on getting one project up and running, and making you money, then don't even bother trying because you'll end up wasting more money then you'll make.

I had a subscriber email me the other day, begging for my help and assistance. He was promoting a MLM company. When I started to map out what he needed to start doing everyday, just as quickly as he had come, he was gone. That was about 3 weeks ago, and I haven't heard from him since.

You see, most people don't want to do the actual work necessary to get an online business going. They'd rather believe that some over hyped new program is going to be the ticket. Well it could be, but you'll soon learn that you still have to do the work and gain the knowledge to succeed.

I'm sure you see all the gurus out there that promote their programs and services, as well as other peoples, and make a ton of money. But they didn't start off making a ton of money, in fact I've talked to several and they all started at the same place...the beginning!

They all had long term goals set forth, they had a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly plan of action for attaining those goals, they had drive and determination, they gained the education and knowledge they needed along the way, either on their own or through a coach or a mentor...and they ALL STAYED FOCUSED on ONE THING AT A TIME until it was working and making money!

Once you have your business running and bringing in a steady flow of cash, you can choose to start a new project, or you can stay focused on making your original business bigger and better.

Take a look below at the video interview of Yanik Silver, one of the most successful Internet marketers ever. The topic...focusing on one task at a time.

How to Get More than 500 Friends in 30 Days

2009-01-02T17:07:00.000-07:00

If you don’t have friends added to your friends list, being a part of a social networking site is rather pointless. On FaceBook, you can be average or you can be a super star. Obviously, since you are using FaceBook for marketing or business purposes, you want to be a superstar. You can achieve that status in as little as 30 days, but it does take a time commitment on your part.

First you should note that if you have fewer than 200 friends on FaceBook, this isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s an average thing. However, again, you want superstar status, so this won’t do for you.

Once you have 500 friends, you are considered to be popular, and people will gravitate to you, and when you have between 800 and 1000 friends, you’re essentially a FaceBook celebrity. Eventually, that’s what you should be working towards, but for now, let’s concentrate on becoming popular, with 500 friends.

Do not use automated software that adds friends to your FaceBook friends list. This defeats the purpose of social networking. Instead, do it the ‘hard way’. You will come to realize that the hard way really isn’t hard at all.

The first thing to do is to join all of the Internet Marketing groups that you can find. There are plenty of them out there. Each time you join a group, send a friend request to all members of that group.

Not all members will accept the request, but the majority of them will. This can be a little time consuming, but it is well worth the effort in the end. This should easily net you 200 to 300 friends. Try to add at least 30 new friends each day, for the full 30 days.

Once you’ve exhausted the IM groups, find other groups that are related to your business. For example, if you are in the personal development group, find those personal development groups, and start adding members as friends.

Use your existing website to get more friends, as well as your blog. Post your FaceBook badge on your website and blog. Make a blog post and invite your readers to add you as a friend on Facebook. If you twitter, tell your followers to add you on FaceBook. If you have a mailing list, send out a note and invite them to join you on FaceBook.

Again, it does take a concentrated effort on your part, but it is well worth it in the end, and if you are dedicated, you absolutely will have more than 500 friends in less than 30 days, and if you want that superstar celebrity status at FaceBook, you can continue to add new friends for an additional 30 days to reach that goal.

The Cooling World?

2009-01-02T16:25:00.003-07:00

I found an article from 1975 stating that the world s actually getting colder! Whether you believe that the earth is cooling, warming, or what ever, that fact of the matter is that it is changing...and not for the better. The link is at the end of this blog post.

Like anything, in order to make significant change, we must change our own habits...each and everyone of us. We must stay educated, focused, and take the daily actions that propel us towards a better planet.

Same holds true in your own business. The online/homebased biz world is always changing. In order to continue to grow and prosper, you to must stay educated, focused and doing the daily action steps necessary.

Ever Had a Bad Experience With...

2008-12-31T13:20:00.003-07:00

Everyone has had a bad experience with a car brand, restaurant, home builder, retail store, grocery store etc...and what did you do about it?

A few years back I was out at an Earls restaurant having super with my son and 'then' father-in-law. We all ordered coffee to start, then ordered our meals. Our coffee came and we all started to enjoy it, we were all big coffee drinkers. No sooner had I finished my first cup, and I could feel that tingling sensation of an oncoming cold sore...anyone who has had one, or gets cold sores knows that feeling...

By the time we finished our meals, and payed our bill, not only did I have a cold sore, my son had one...and my 'then' father-in-law had one as well. There was something very disturbing about that fact.

We knew that it was likely from the coffee, most likely the cup. Not cleaned properly, or maybe from someone in the kitchen that had the virus, touched our cups.

A couple days later I went back to the restaurant and had a talk with the manager. He was somewhat taken aback when I explained the situation. Basically telling me that 'it was not possible that we encountered the virus at his establishment'...wouldn't bend a bit on that conclusion. I left even more distraught and disappointed then when I arrived.

Needless to say, I have NEVER been back to that Earls restaurant again, or any Earls for that matter...and NEVER will.

How many people do you think I told about that crazy ordeal? Yep, everyone I knew! How much business do you think they lost? Well, unfortunately, probably not enough for them to notice...but they did lose some for sure.

If you treated your online customers like they don't really matter, or discredit an issue they have, with no reasonable explanation, how long would you be in business?

The answer shouldn't really surprise you. With the speed of the Internet and the modern technology out their today, it would take mere minutes to spread the word of the sour taste left by you and your business. With email, blogs, instant messaging, text messaging, cell phones etc...your name would be MUD before you knew what hit you.

Treat every customer, no matter how big or small, with the respect and courtesy that you, yourself, would want. And remember, 1 or 2 disgruntled customers in the online biz world could seriously damage or flat out ruin your name and your business with a few strokes of the keyboard in a matter of minutes!

Leave me a comment and share your own bad encounter, how you felt and were dealt with, and what the end results were.

=======================================
Sales Letter Secrets From The Man
Who Sold Coal By The Train Carload

By Yanik Silver
=======================================

If you were to ask any of the top copywriting pros who they've
learned from - one name is sure to be repeated over and over
again -- Robert Collier.

In the 1930s, Robert Collier was able to sell just about
everything from train carloads of coal to men's clothing
simply by using the power of his pen. And right now I'm going
to share with you 2 of the most powerful letter concepts he
repeatedly used to sell millions!

One of Collier's most successful letters was his "will you do
me a favor?" letter. It was based on a story he read about
how a manager of a company asked a competing business for a
favor, which started a relationship that blossomed into the
two companies joining together.

Collier thought this same idea might work in print...and
boy did it ever!

Here's how he used this concept to sell 20,000 raincoats at
a time (and over a dozen other products). This letter is
really universal in its application, so study it carefully:

* * *
Dear Customer,

Will you do me a favor?

For twelve years now, you know, we have been selling the
famous "Keepdry" Coat direct to the consumer, at a savings
of many dollars from the usual retail price.

This year I want to vary our line a bit, so I have changed
the fabric to one that looks like a smart topcoat -- but
will still shed rain. And instead of the usual double-breasted
raincoat model, I'm using a single-breasted topcoat model
that appeals to men because it has style, and yet retains
that loose, comfortable look of the well-tailored light
overcoat.

I believe that anyone who ever gets out in stormy or wet
weather will like this "Any Weather" Coat better than any
raincoat or topcoat he can buy, but you know how it is in
merchandising -- you can never be sure of such things until
after you have sunk a lot of money in them.

Which brings me to the favor:

I want to make sure of the demand -- or lack of demand --
before we sink too much money in this new coat. So I've come
to you as a customer of the house:

Will you try out one of these new "Any Weather" Topcoats
for me for a week -- WEAR IT -- see how it feels, how it
looks, how it compares with topcoats you have bought at $25
or $30? Above all, how it keeps out wind and rain? And then
write me?

---sidebar---
Letter goes on to explain features and benefits of the
new coat with a special introductory price for
customers only.
-------------

Naturally, I am not making offers like this to everyone, so
whether you accept it or not, I should feel obliged if you
would return the card so as to insure against its falling
into other hands.

Naturally, too, your opinion will be of value to me only if
I get it n.o.w. -- before the Fall season has really opened --
before we are definitely committed for any great quantity of
these new all-weather coats.

Won't you, therefore, fill in the three simple measurements
on the card TONIGHT if you can, and mail it? On second
thought, better mail it right away -- while you have it in
your hand -- so there will be no chance of forgetting it.

* * *

You should notice the subtle psychology used here. People love
giving opinions and helping, so by asking, you make people
feel important.

Boardroom reports, one of the top direct marketing companies
in the country, (the people who write Bottom Line Business,
Bottom Line Personal, and Bottom Line Health) are using this
technique for two different offers (which means it's working
very well). Here's the opening to a recent letter I received:

* * *

Our records show that you're one of our best customers, and
that's why I'm writing.

Frankly, I need you help.

I'm asking you to take part in a little marketing trial I've
put together. Our company has a lot riding on the outcome,
so I'm really hoping you'll participate.

If you do, I'll send you one of the most valuable gifts we've
ever given away. It's our giant new, 51,000-word book, the
"DOCTOR'S LITTLE BLACK BAG OF REMEDIES AND CURES, Vol. I."

I'll explain our marketing trial in a moment...and why your
"verdict" is so important to us. But first, let me tell you
about the special free gift you'll receive just for taking
part.

---sidebar---
Letter continues by explaining the free gift and goes on to
explain how the fairest, most honest way to introduce new
products is through sampling.
-------------

* * *

That's pretty powerful stuff, eh?

Moving on to the second letter opening Collier found to be
magical. Here are a few examples:

==========================================================
"With your permission, I am going to send you FREE a new,
self-filling black beauty fountain pen-pencil, with your
name stamped upon it in 24 carat solid gold leaf."
==========================================================

Or...

==========================================================
"With your permission I am going to make an analysis of
the soil of your lawn to determine -- at my own risk and
expense -- what elements are lacking in it, what you need
for stronger, healthier, more closely grown turf." ==========================================================

These openings were used over and over again by Collier
because they worked. And they still work just as well today
-- here's how a recent mailing from Rodale press started
(mind you this is the control for the last 3 years -- not
an easy task when you mail millions):

* * *
Hot new book reveals...
The Astonishing Sex Secrets Of The Most Satisfied...Most
Knowledgeable...And Most Respected Lovers in the World!

Learn to enjoy the best sex of your life, at any age...
with the amazing secrets and discoveries in this
just-released "For Men Only" book that is dramatically
changing men's (and women's) lives literally overnight...

With your permission (and with strict precautions for privacy),
I am going to send you one of the most important and exciting
books every released by an American publisher.

---Cut---
> letter continues.

* * *

Now both these letter concepts are incredibly powerful and
they've been proven to work for the last 70 years. (And my
bet is they'll continue working for at least 70 more!) So
what are you waiting for? Start putting these techniques to
work right away in your business.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir?

2008-12-29T15:38:00.000-07:00

WOW...I'm sitting here, flipping through the channels, and I come across Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir special (not my normal programs I usually watch) and what a production. There must be over 500 members of the choir, the orchestra and the rest. I wondering how long it would have taken to set that whole production up?

But it really doesn't matter if it took 6 months to set it all up, which it could of, because the fact is that the end result is simply amazing. I'm also thinking that they didn't just drop all the stuff off, the instruments, chairs, stands, audio and the rest...then just start setting it up anywhere.

In order to get the same result,near perfection every time, they would have the set up and the running of the entire production, from start to finish, blueprinted in a carefully organized plan of action. If it took 6 months to get to their end result, then they knew exactly how much work had to be done each...and everyday!

But the beauty is that once they had their blueprint, the system set up and running, it probably seemed like it just ran itself. And of course over time they would have tweaked things here and there, all for a better end result.

Same holds true for most things including your business. But the nice thing is that once you've built one successful online business, it gets easier and faster to build your next one, and next one and so on....And the nice thing with the online business, once you build one, they can run on virtual autopilot, 24/7/365.

Find someone who is where you want to be, and copy what they did to get there. Then do it over and over and over. Work from a proven system and take consistent daily actions.

Don't over complicate things when you don't have to. Anything worth building is worth doing right the first time...and there's no better or easier way then to follow someone who has done it before.

Four Easy Ways to Get Free Marketing for Your Information Products

2008-12-19T11:56:00.004-07:00

Some people considering how to profit from selling information products online may be intimidated at the thought of spending hundreds, or even thousands of dollars on an advertising budget to garner high doses of traffic to their domain.

But selling information products doesn’t mean you have to spend a penny on promotions, if you don’t want to. There are four fast and easy ways to market your wares on the ‘net for absolutely nothing.

Traditionally, in the offline world, whenever a company or business needs to get the word out about their product launch, they use a press release to distribute to the media. You can do the same thing for your information product by going to a site like http://www.free-press-release.com/, where you can submit free press releases that online media outlets will be able to view and publish.

Make sure that your press release is newsworthy and not similar to your online hyped-up sales copy. You can get more traffic delivered to your information product site by genuinely conveying the benefits of the item without it sounding like it was written by a used car salesman.

Another free option for you traffic needs is to utilize the article directories on the ‘net. There are two big ones: www.EzineArticles.com and www.GoArticles.com and both allow you to submit free articles that other site owners and publishers can pick up and use as their own. The only catch is, they have to keep your hyperlinks and Bio Box intact, so your readers can click through and land on your information product pages

One of the best ways to leverage the power of the World Wide Web is to immerse yourself in what web 2.0 is all about – social networking. You can participate in online forums and groups and with every post you make, drive customers to your site using a hyperlink in your signature file.

DO NOT use these social sites to direct sell your products or services. Treat them like you’re at a party, making friends and developing relationships. Only then will you be using social sites properly, and getting the best return on time invested.

You can even cloak your links to see which forums are generating more visitors to your domain and even which threads within each forum got a better response! Cloaking software is generally inexpensive but can help you profit from your information products because it eliminates the guesswork.

A powerful method to get free traffic to your information product is by creating a viral freebie that others can pass along over the ‘net. You can write a short five-page report for your niche, fill it with hyperlinks back to your information product site, and set it loose with free distribution rights to it. Although you’re giving something away for nothing, chances are you’ll see many visitors flooding to your site if your freebie is able to piqué their curiosity.

Those are some of the best ways to promote your business with little or no cost to you. And when you start using articles, blogs, social site etc…you will develop your reputation as an expert in your field. Then the never ending supply of quality leads and traffic will be coming in for ever…and you didn’t spend a dime doing it.

How To Find Your Entrepreneur Opportunities

2008-12-18T18:37:00.004-07:00

Money is really hard to find these days especially if you're lazy. Entrepreneurs on the other hand are hard working and dedicated individuals. Once they set their minds to a certain business endeavor, they will surely find ways to make it successful. There are so many entrepreneur opportunities that you can find. All it takes is some research.

Many people think that putting up a business requires huge capital. When making a business investment, it is very important to have an ample amount of funds. Businesses starting from scratch will definitely need huge financial investments. But did you know that you can find entrepreneur business opportunities that require smaller amounts of investments?

Yes, that's true. If you search diligently, you can find low cost entrepreneur opportunities that yield high returns. You will not find it hard to conduct your research because you can do it online. The internet provides a lot of resources that you can make use. In fact, by devoting your time to research, you can find several great low cost entrepreneur opportunities.

While doing your research, take note of the ones that caught your interest. You can make a comprehensive list so that when it's time to choose, you will be able to choose the best opportunity that can work for you and meet your needs.

Thorough research is required especially on the onset of your search. This is needed so that you will not miss out any opportunity that may turn out to be a good business venture.

Once you have the list, it's now time to ask some questions to yourself. Here are some of the questions that you should look into:

1. Which do you prefer – an online business or a business that you can deal with customers personally?

2. Where are you going to concentrate – services or products?

3. Where will you get the capital funds? How much do you need?

4. Will you look for venture capitalists?

5. What problems are people searching for in your niche market/?

6. Can you solve those problems & how many people are searching for answers?

These are just some of the important questions that you need to answer. After you've answered the questions, you may now be able to choose one particular business venture. Even if the business opportunity is simply low cost, with hard work and dedication, you can earn high returns in the near future especially if the business proves to be a success and it is extremely in-demand in the market.

With the right knowledge and proper motivation, you can achieve financial success as soon as possible. Focus on your goals and objectives. Don’t hesitate to learn more knowledge about being an entrepreneur. You should handle your responsibilities well, from planning, organizing, staffing, to controlling.

**Don't think you have to wait until you know everything about everything about your business. Take action ASAP...after the proper research is done**

You must also have the right attitude towards the business. Most entrepreneurs are thinkers, risk-takers, confident, and full of self determination. The business arena is full of challenges and problems. Don’t get easily discouraged when you're facing a certain dilemma. You should always remain focused in all your actions and decisions.

Start looking for the perfect low cost entrepreneur opportunities. Simply log on to the internet and you can find all the needed information resources, more than you can ever imagine. Dare to take risks especially for your business venture especially if the risk involved will help in making your business a success.

Have the right attitude and outlook in life and you will always stay in the peak of success.

Great video from Tellman Knudson

Don't Make This Mistake on Social Networking Sites

2008-12-10T11:23:00.004-07:00

Most people have no idea about the proper way to use all the social networks out there. Facebook, MySpace, YouTube etc...are not the places to go to try and sell your products or services.

In this video,Perry Belcher tells you what the social networks are all about. He explains things in a very simple way for you to understand.

Social networks allow you to connect with thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, not all will be interested in what you do or sell, but chances are they will come across some of their friends who are. By building a friendship with these people, they will recommend you to their friends who are looking for what you have to offer.

Check out the short video...if you understand how to use social networks, the way they were designed, you're way ahead of the rest of the people that are just trying to sell, sell, sell.

Think You've Got It Bad?

2008-12-08T13:26:00.005-07:00

You think you got it bad? Take a look at this video, and you may change your tune a little. I've seen other clips and programs involving this gentlemen, and all very inspiring... to the 10th degree!

It all goes back to your will, desire and determination to accomplish your goals, whatever they might be. When you realize that every time you think you've failed..you've just taken another step towards achieving anything you want.

You have to fall down, learn, get up and keep trucking ahead. Now don't get me wrong...there are proven systems and processes to get what you want, but even the best systems in the world will come with setbacks. And the setbacks are usually not caused by the system, more so, it's caused by the user.

It's those that continue forward, regardless of the setbacks.

Enjoy the video...

Creating Web Videos

Web videos are the hottest thing on the 'net today. But outsourcing the process can be extremely costly. As well, taking a course at you local community or business college is both time consuming and costly.

Well now you can learn, with easy video tutorials, in the comfort of your home anytime you choose, with out having to spend a fortune. Also with email access, it's like having your very own personal teacher, their when you need them.

Web Video University is a 4 week course created and taught by Dave Kiminski. Dave is a true professional, generating millions of dollars in sales for himself, as well as his customers. So he not only knows how to create web videos, he also knows how to create web videos that produce sales...over and over.

Dave explains things in plain, simple English, that anyone can understand...and more importantly, anyone can implement right away. Teaching everything from your lighting, cameras, to scene length, editing, adding sound and special effects...just like the pros.

I have taken the course, and produced my first video...a little crude, but having never made a video, it's not bad.

You don't need a video camera or experience...I didn't have either when I made my video.

You can scroll down to my review post of Web Video University in this blog to watch it.

I also know that Dave has knocked off about half the price for both levels of his course. This thing is worth thousands of dollars by itself, but Daves also giving you something 600 bucks of free resources to use.

Now's the time to take advantage of the huge saving being offered. Not only will you save on the course, you'll make ten times...or a hundred your invest back in profits.

Perry Marshalls Greed?

2008-11-26T16:24:00.000-07:00

Perry's Greed

An email from Perry Marshall...

Recently I spoke at an event where numerous people asked me to meet with them, have lunch, etc. I responded: Sorry, no free lunch meetings - if you want to meet with me you need to pay my hourly fee.

I mentioned this in an email and got this reply from Dennis:
=====================================================================================

Perry

I love your stuff, you are obviously a very talented online marketer. In addition I bet your a good person, I don't know but I get the feeling you are. However one thing really bothered me that you said in your newsletter dated Tuesday October 28th.

As far as I can deduct you where part of a program that went late into the night that people paid for and after it was over several people wanted to take you to lunch etc, to pick your brain. You response was sure, just pay me my hourly rate. Now I'm all for people getting paid for there time, God knows if you say high to a lawyer your going to get a bill. Wlth that in mind there is such a thing as going to far. It's called GREED. It's what the me generation did to this countries economy today. It's the reason our economy is in such a mess.

I have been here for 58 years and have met many successful people, everyone of these people that I have asked to take to lunch and chat never charged me a dime. And myself being a very successful sales person earning over $100 K per year since 1974 have always given freely to others who asked. My opinion regaring your reponse to a request to do lunch was not being a smart business person, it was greed with a capital G. Come on, lets get real here if this kind of greed does not stop this country is headed for the dumpster.

Can you imagagine having to pay everyone who you asked for advice ? Why not put a hold on the greed and give a little back without getting paid for it. Even the blood sucking lawyers do probono work, even high priced doctors volunteer there skill to help people who can't afford medical care. Even old John D Rockefeller realised his greed and started giving his money away. Then theres Perry Marshall he won't go to lunch with eager students and share his knowledge without getting paid. You can rationalize all you want, but your response was arrogant and greedy. Let me summarise, what you did was Bull Shit.

Dennis
=====================================================================================

This was my reply to Dennis:

Dennis,

Thanks for your note and I can appreciate how my comment made you feel. Yes if someone told me 20 years ago I'd be charging people $700 for lunch and turning away people asking for help, I might have felt the same way as you. As you wrote your email I think you felt more and more angry about it all the time.

My wife read your email and said, "Perry, this guy apparently doesn't know how many people want to take you to lunch."

Dennis, I have over 100,000 people on my email list. You have no idea how many people email my office and ask questions - hundreds and hundreds every month. I could EASILY spend all day dispensing free advice. The demand for it it ENDLESS. I could spend every single breakfast, lunch and dinner time slot dispensing free advice and the line would never stop.

At the meeting, had I responded to all those requests I would've been out to lunch every day this week dispensing free advice. Remember: I'm not a salesman. I'm a consultant. Advice, not widgets, is what I sell. When you were a salesman you didn't give away your goods for free and you didn't feel guilty if they expected you to and you wouldn't feel guilty for saying no.

There are several reasons why I don't dispense free advice:

-It would be unfair to those who pay for it, and there are many who do

-People almost NEVER act on free advice, especially if it requires them to do something uncomfortable - so what's the point in dispensing it?

-If people want free information there are hundreds of pages of free articles and MP3's on my website and it's good stuff

-If I gave away my knowledge I would not be able to be generous to those who truly are in need.

You accuse me of being greedy and not being generous. You do not know that. You do not know me at all. You have no business making such judgments. You do not know how many people and/or organizations I DO give free advice to. You do not know who or what I give my money to and it's none of your business anyway.

Just know this: If I gave away free advice I would have no money to give to AIDS orphans in Africa.

So given that I have people lined up to pay me money (for example if you want a 1 day consultation it has to be booked 1-3 months in advance; phone consults are booked 2-4 weeks in advance) why should I allow people to cut in line and pay nothing?

Would that be right?

Finally, most of the questions people would ask me are already answered on my website or in my products. Most of the business ideas people pitch me with are a waste of time. People who have not read my books or website first usually wouldn't understand the answer if I gave it to them.

I am known all around the world for my expertise and my time is valuable. I am a STEWARD of my time and I am responsible before God for how I use it. To give it away indiscriminately would be irresponsible and wasteful.

I will give my time to people who earn it and that is why I am then able to be generous with people who need it. Hungry children in Africa need help more than well-fed Americans who are trying to solve their business problems. If they want free advice, they can ask someone else.

When people pay for my time, they get value. In life you usually get what you pay for, and when you pay me $725 an hour you get your money's worth. My job is to deliver that value and make sure that knowledge is put to use for maximal effect to ALL involved - my customers, myself, and the causes that are dear to my heart.

Sincerely,

Perry Marshall

Get Rich Fast?...or Get Rich Slow?

2008-11-23T13:57:00.000-07:00

One of the biggest complaints I hear today is about all the 'get rich fast' scams on the Internet. Now I'm sure you've heard about them, or read about them, or maybe you've even laid out your hard earned cash to claim your riches. And you try it for a short while, with little or no results, you stop doing it, and now it has just become a 'scam' in your mind. Of course you'll share these thoughts with anyone that will listen.

With the incredible speed in which everything happens in today's world, I'm here to tell you that, you can get rich faster then ever before, ethically and honestly. Let's look at a couple of examples...

Mark Zuckerberg: launched Facebook from his Harvard dorm room on February 4, 2004. He then dropped out of Harvard and at the age of 23, his net worth is 1.5 Billion. That's FAST!

Mark Cuban: In 1995, Cuban and fellow Indiana University alumnus Todd Wagner started Audionet. It eventually became Broadcast.com in 1998. In 1999 they sold it to Yahoo for $5.9 billion in Yahoo! stock. That's FAST!

And of course that's just a couple of examples, I'm sure you've heard of many more as well.

So just because an opportunity claims that you can 'get rich quick' don't immediately discount its validity. I'm not saying for you to just join in blind faith, you have be comfortable with what ever you are marketing, so you have to do your due diligence in your research, before you join or associate yourself with any company.

So why do so many get labeled as 'scams'? While some are, there are many legitimate opportunities out there that are not...so let's take an honest look at why they seemingly fail and get labeled as 'scams'.

Well...let's look at the real reasons why the program you joined didn't work. For most of the opportunities out there, there are people making a lot of money working with the same company, and using the exact same program, products, strategies and the step by step process laid out. So we can honestly say that...the reason you are failing is not because of the company, it's not the product, it's not the compensation plan, it's not the system. So the only thing it can be...if you're being honest with yourself...is YOU.

***Most people will join because of YOU, the person or leader you are, your reputation, and how you can help them... not because of your company or product***

The fact of the matter is really very simple and straight forward. The main reason you fail to make a lot of money fast is YOU...period. It all starts and end with YOU.

One of the most life changing moments I had was when I heard T. Harv Ecker say '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!'

Think about that for a minute. You have to develop, educate, learn and grow as a person and a leader, and become the best you can be, before you can ever hope to start making money, and building yourself a successful business.

Once you realize this concept, and this concept alone, you will never struggle in any area of you life again.

Follow the Problems for Online Success

2008-11-22T16:35:00.000-07:00

A well known catch phrase from a popular movie is “follow the money.” For Internet marketing, the best advice is “follow the problem.” The most effective online products are those that address problems.

How to break into Internet marketing. How to lose weight. How to avoid foreclosure in a down market. These are problems that drive people to search engines desperately looking for answers. How do you know what people want and need to know?

You have to research and listen into the online conversations in your niche. Start with keyword research for your topic. Check in with Google Labs and find out what the trend of online interest is based on up to the minute searches. Over days or weeks, you can see when the trend shifts and a new hot topic rises.

Another expanded Google tool, the Google Talk Labs, lets you get involved in conversations about trend topics. You have a chance to interact and possibly influence the conversation. At the same time, you want to drop into several discussion forums that focus on your niche.

Don’t be a lurker, be involved. You can use a different name - just make sure that you contribute to the conversation. Nothing will get you barred from a forum faster than showing up with a sales pitch instead of being a participant.

Once you make several posts and join the conversation, then you earn the right to offer suggestions or recommendations. That’s another reason why you want to use a name other than your own name so that you aren’t obviously recommending your own site. Become an expert in your chosen niche market and you will have people eager to follow you, and get their wallets out to purchase the products and services that you recommend.

When you get a hint of a problem from comments in the forum, be bold and ask, “Does anybody have a good resource for how to . . . ” If no one has a suggestion, there’s a product waiting for you to develop or find in places like ClickBank or Commission Junction.

Remember, you don’t have to develop you own products once you find a problem that needs solving. You can find affiliate programs from the above mentioned. You can also find and purchase re-sell rights to products that allow you to re-sell them and keep 100% of the profits.

You can also get a feel for problems by scanning major blogs like Technorati and Boing Boing. Subscribe to blogs that are popular with followers of your niche interest. Chances are they will comment on those blogs.

If you find that there’s a product to address the problem, take a look at it. What can you do to improve, simplify, expand or add a new twist to that answer? Is it a high priced product? Then you need to develop something at a slightly lower price point.

Is it too cheap and vague? That’s your cue to add more substance, get endorsements from reviewers and position your product as the premium solution. Millions are made online by solving simple problems where the public is using the ‘net to find a solution.

Web Video University Course Review

2008-11-06T11:56:00.000-07:00

The course, Web Video University by Dave Kaminski claims to have you creating professional web videos, that produce more sales, in 4 weeks or less, with no experience required. Even if you don't own a video camera! Well I'd like to share my results with you...and remember this when your reading, I have absolutely Zero experience in creating videos online.

Dave teaches everything in video tutorials, which is just like getting 1 on 1 professional, personalized training. The great thing, there are no class rooms, no traveling...you can learn from the comfort of your own home, anytime you want...day or night. Dave also gives you email access to answer any questions along the way.

Only 2 weeks through the course and I have already made my first video, without my own camera, without previous experience. Just following along, step by step with Dave. I would watch Dave explain a lesson, I would pause it, then I'd go to my video project and implement what I just learned, it was very easy and rewarding!

It's my 1st one, but it's not to bad I must say. You can view it at the end of this post

I found that Dave really puts some crazy technical terms,(terms I've never heard of before) in a way that anyone, and I mean anyone, can understand. He also has a great resource section at the end of each unit, where you can go get the tools required to practice and carry out what was just taught.

No only does Dave show you how to create a web video, but he also teaches you the techniques that make a web video a sales machine. He shares the insider tips and secrets of successful videos. From the lighting, backgrounds, special effects, length of scenes and so much more I can't possibly tell you all of it in this review.

I know I've looked into pricing to have someone create a video for my sites, ranging from $2000 - $6000...for a single video! There's no way everyone can afford that, so I went looking for an alternative. Dave offers 2 courses, the Basic & the Premium. With both you'll also receive...the following bonus items: 13 animated video backgrounds from MotionLoops.com, 75 royalty-free music tracks and 2,500 royalty-free sound effects. Together, these bonus items are worth $438.55. Prices for the Basic and Premium are listed at the end of this post.

I don't write reviews or endorse every product I come across or even use everyday, but I can honestly tell you that the Web Video University Course is worth several thousands of dollars, just for the material and tools, not to mention the thousands in added sales you'll be getting when you put them into practice on your own website or blog.

I really can't believe how inexpensive it is for the value Dave gives you. I would highly recommend this course, without hesitation or regrets.

I know that web videos are the hottest thing on the Internet right now, and will only increase in the future. Check out some of these stats:

- An estimated 1 billion dollars will be spent on video ads in this year. By 2011, that number will climb to at least 4.3 billion dollars.

- 65% of online surfers will view video advertisements to their completion (less than 20% read "text only" sites to completion).

- 68% of people who watch online videos, will in turn, pass links for these videos onto their friends...turning them into viral traffic machines.

- the cost to have a web commercial professionally created for your site now averages between $2,000-$3000…per minute! No kidding.

If I had to tell you about any cons with the course...it would be this. I wish there was a text copy or PDF copy for easy and quick reference. The video tutorials are great, but I found that if I just wanted to go directly to a section, a text version would be the easiest and quickest way to do this. I'm sure it could be included as an add on feature to original course, at a slight upcharge.

In my search for a course designed to teach anyone, regardless of experience, how to make their own, profit producing web videos, I found Web Video University is first on my list. Thanks Dave for a great product, at an affordable price.
Basic Course $199
Premium Course $397

Review on 'Clic Website Sales Leads System' by Gerry Black

2008-11-04T12:04:00.000-07:00

Reviewed by Ron Richardson - Editor - Business Opportunity Newsletter

I have finished reading Gerry Black's eBook, 'CLIC Website Sales Leads System' Gerry Black is a field proven American Writers and Artists trained copywriter and also has a successful 20-year sales and marketing career.

A report he wrote called “The #1 Website Mistake That Could be Costing You Clients” will be featured in an upcoming book by best-selling author Bob Bly – the man McGraw-Hill calls "America's top copywriter."

I have read 100's of eBooks over the years, and not always, but usually learn something from each and every one...including this one. Gerry show's you, in 4 easy steps, how to attract more website visitors, and convert more of them to paying lifetime customers.

I found that Gerry's writing style, and explanation of strategies, very easy to understand, and more importantly, easy to implement. Starting off with the essential basics for a successful site, and offering answers to the common mistakes that people make.

In chapter 3, 'What Your Web Visitors Want' Gerry tells you the 7 questions your web visitors need answers to when they visit your site. I found that I can build a successful converting site, or squeeze page using only this chapter. From my headline to the rest of my sales copy just by answering those 7 questions.

The eBook also digs into some SEO, creating headlines that will grab you readers attention and ad copies that hold their attention. Also why your company, product or service is not as important as what benefits it will produce for your readers, and how to convey them to your readers.

I found this a very easy and enjoyable read. Although some of what I read, I already practice, I still learned some great strategies that I'm implementing now.

Gerry puts it in simple terms that are easy to understand, even for a newbie, and easy to implement. But no matter where you are in your online marketing career, 'newbie' to 'expert,' you will learn some valuable tips and strategies that will help.

Even if your promoting an affiliate program, you can use these strategies to build a loyal list of future life time customers.

In short, I would highly recommend this system to anyone wishing to build a high converting customer focused website, or those that wish to improve their current site.

It really is a proven 4 step system, that anyone can read in about an hour, and start implementing as soon as their done reading.

If you're tired of your website sucking money out of your pockets, and want to turn it into a automated sales person that produces results, then 'Clic Website Sales Leads System' is a must read. It should be in every serious online marketers resource tool box.

5 Deadly Ad Copy Mistakes

2008-10-22T16:54:00.000-06:00

Are you making any of these blunders in your ad copy? If you are, then that is probably why you're getting, no traffic, no leads, no sales & no success!

There are plenty more mistakes that people are making, but I think that if you only tweak these 5, you'll have a higher converting site, that makes money.

1) Poor Headline - You only have about 8-10 seconds to grab, and keep your viewer. Let your headline solve potential customers biggest problem. Give them the biggest benefit they'll receive if they purchase your product or service. ie...'Knock 5 strokes off you golf score in 7 days'

2) No Video or Audio - Video and audio are all the rage on the Internet today, and growing. Most people would rather listen or watch as you tell them how your product or service is going to help them. You don't have know all the technical stuff to get it done. With all the shortcuts available, you could have a professional web video up and running in hours...even if you don't own a video camera and don't know the first thing about putting a video together.

This is one that I'm currently reviewing at the time of this post...and I think it's one of the best I've ever seen. Web Video University

3) No Guarantees - With all the crap that's out there today, people are unsure who to trust. Take all the pressure off by offering an 'unconditional no questions asked money back guarantee' You could also offer your product or service as a 15 or 30 day trial, then after that time period, they will get billed.

4) No Urgent Call to Action - Make sure they know that there is a time limit on the current pricing. Or that the bonuses included will only be available for the next 7 days. You can also offer limited quantities to a membership type site, or for your personal coaching. Make sure that you tell them exactly where to click and sign up, as well, keep it simple. Don't make them jump through hoops or they will click away.

5) The Bonuses - Any offer you find today is usually accompanied with a ton of bonuses, worth 100's or 1000's of dollars. If someone is in the market for your product, they will shop around for the most attractive offers. Make your bonuses stand out, make them very high quality and of great value for you customer. This can also be called your USP - Unique Selling Proposition - It's telling your customer 'why' they should buy from you, and why your different form your competition.

Like I said, these are only 5, but a very important 5 mistakes being made all the time. If your ad copy is lacking in any of these areas, fix them, then test them, and fix them again if need be.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to write a good compelling ad copy...but you do have to take the time to learn what makes a good ad copy.

I'll be posting a review on an eBook that I'm reviewing called 'CLIC Website Sales Leads System' which claims to have a proven 4 step system, that anyone can do, to convert lookers into buyers. More on that to come.

Ron,

I had a great call on Thursday night with John Paul Mendocha.

We talked about all the delusions that entrepreneurs - and wanna-be entrepreneurs - fall into, the snake oil salesmen we fall for, the rose colored sunglasses that we willingly put on, the pink koolaid we drink.

On this call we kill a bunch of sacred cows. A fun jam session, and I got some raves about it via email the next day. Here's where you can download the MP3:

Limited Knowledge - Budget - Resources - Sound Familiar?

2008-10-18T12:17:00.000-06:00

When I first started out, trying to make money online, like a lot of people I'm sure, I had a limited budget, limited resources and limited knowledge. This is where just about everyone starts out...but it's only the start.

I was once at a T Harv Ecker, Millionaire Mind Intensive Weekend, and he said it this way...'Every master was once a disaster.' He went on to describe that everyone starts out, making mistakes, failing, lacking the proper knowledge, limited budgets and so on.

Why is it then the some go on to become everything they dreamed they would be, and some never make an inch of progress? It really all comes down to the desire and drive to learn all the things necessary to reach their end goal...and NEVER stop learning. Because each new goal you set will be bigger and better then the previous.

When I started, I spent 8-10 hours a day using all the free methods I could find to promote my business...with zero success. zero traffic, zero leads, zero sales...no business.

After finally studying people like T Harv and others, after 5 years of struggle, what I realized was that I needed to be spending that time on growing me as a person, a leader, an expert in my field.

If every new person, and their are millions, that were trying to replace, or supplement their income with their own online/MLM home business, started out by gaining the knowledge first, their chances of success would increase dramatically!

When you realize that not only do you create a life of abundance, you also create a better 'you.' When you see that creating a better 'you' is just as important as creating a bigger bank account...I'd even say that it's MORE important...then you're on your way.

When I realized and acted upon this concept, that's when my entire life changed. As most know, I know make my full time income online, and have been for about 3 years now. Learn first, then take action with the knowledge and repeat.

Twitter Your Way to Instant Traffic

2008-10-14T12:34:00.000-06:00

To answer this, you have to make the most of every word. You have to capture attention quickly in each 'tweet' (the Twitter name for a post). Sign up for Twitter and send out notices to your friends and subscribers.

The more people who follow your 'tweets,' the more your following grows as their friends see your profile thumbnail on other people's profile pages and click through to follow you as well. Every time you post a new tweet, each of your followers receives it instantly on their computers or cell phones if they've set it up like that.

Sending regular tweets can help build loyalty among your followers. Don't just send anything, make it count. If you write reviews on electronic games or develop accessories for Avatars, then you want to let your followers know when you have something new for them.

You can develop an almost fanatical group who are so intent on knowing what you have to offer that they hang on your every tweet. For info marketers, this intensity can develop into a loyal group of buyers who respond to your new offerings.

Friends who want to set up a meeting can use tweets to inform everyone of the time and place. You can also send a tweet to direct attention to your latest blog update or lens creation. Remember to save room to add the URL for your site.

This is important for creating interest in your site and developing your brand. Even with a short post, you can set up your identity in a way that draws more followers to your niche. Twitter is a delight to some and baffling to others.

You have to get into it to really get what's happening. Look at other Twitterers and see how many ways they're using tweets to set their brand, establish a persona, show expertise or drive traffic to their sites.

The instant gratification of Twitter is part of its addictive potential. When you choose to Twitter within your field, profession, hobby, sport or business, then you'll see how to dispense an enormous amount of new information rapidly, one Tweet at a time.

Traffic Conversion by Doing the Unexpected

2008-10-11T13:10:00.000-06:00

Techniques for traffic conversion are well known in the Internet marketing community, but most that are used are basic. They work well, but not spectacularly. What you need is to find a new twist on traffic conversion.

Perhaps what you need isn’t something different, but a different approach. You might find that taking an unexpected route is just what your site needs to increase buyer response.

Replace “want” with “fear.” Sure it’s great that a viewer wants your product, but desire isn’t as strong as fear. Make your sales copy emphasize the scarcity of the product and how terrible it would be to miss out.

“You can spend hours trying to make those purchased templates look like a custom website but you’re stuck with a few colors and choices. Meanwhile, marketers with XYZ Web Page Super Package are up and running in an hour with the look of expensive graphics.”

Now the reader pictures the competition making money while he’s still fighting with fonts. That’s fear – fear of being left out.

Long sales copy works only if it’s not boring. In an effort to create the typical long sales letter, inexperienced writers just repeat the same information with little variation. This isn’t the time to “do it yourself.”

Professional writers know how to get that same information across in fresh ways so that each section of the sales letter is familiar, yet not repetitious. If you don’t have the skill do to that, then hire a professional copywriter. What you pay for a good sales letter is a direct investment in traffic conversion. Consider it a one-time expense for endless traffic conversion opportunities.

Raise the price. But wait, if sales are falling, why would charging more be better? You may have under-priced your product, which gives it a lower value in the viewer’s perspective. Add another section or package with a second information product.

Change the cover design. Add new delivery options so that a buyer can choose eBook, CD or MP3 audio product formats. These small changes give you a reason to bump up the price. And don’t get chicken by going from $9.95 to $12.95. Take the price up to $17 or $27 and hype the promotion. You can do a limited time discount - “Order now to get the product for $12.95 because in 48 hours, the price goes to $17!”

Make a Limited Time Offer. Create urgency by offering a one time purchase to a limited number of buyers for a short time. This plays to fear (“what if I miss it”) and scarcity (“I want it before someone else gets it”).

Then take it off the market at the end of the offer. Nothing discredits you more than repeated “limited time” runs. Remove the product, make a few changes or updates and add something else to the package. Then - and only then - can you bring back the product without losing face and buyers.

Would You Buy From Him?

2008-10-07T15:17:00.000-06:00

I had a gentlemen named Jason call me the first time about 2 weeks ago. He was pitching me on what his company could do for me and my business. Well being the open minded person I am, I said I would take a look when I got home...I was driving at the time. He gave me the site, and we agreed we would talk in 2 days.

I got home and I did review his site. It was an all in one marketing tool box that you could use with affiliate marketing, Ebay, Amazon, Google adwords etc...sort of a step by step guide for learning, and it looked pretty good.

After reviewing it further, and learning what the costs would be every month, I decided against it at the present time. I already had all the tools I needed in place and I didn't see it providing me additional value or income.

He did phone back, and I told him my thoughts, and said I wouldn't be signing up. He proceeded to start and quote me statistics about his company. This went on for about 10-15 minutes. I finally said that I wasn't interested at this time...his last words...'take care' then he just hung up.

Now I ask you, would you go back to this company in the future and sign up for their services? Not me!

Instead of trying to build anything long term, and instead of offering me any value at all, all he was after was the sale...period!

I only thought that he must be calling hundreds or thousands of people a day in order to drive a few dollars into his pocket.

Now if he would have said something like, 'would be alright to call you in 3 months or 6 months, and send you some info via email'...which I would have agreed upon...then maybe I would think about signing up for their services to test them out in the future.

In order to receive, you must first give without any want in return. That is the only way to have people seeking you out, and to continue to have new people going through you sales funnel, eventually turning them into paying, loyal customers for life.

The Lemonade Stand

2008-10-04T11:40:00.000-06:00

It's the 4th of October in western Canada...the beginning of fall. Although it's still pretty nice as far as the temperature goes, the leaves are turning, and starting to fall.

I notice that my neighbors kids have set up a lemonade stand next door, something we've all done I'm sure, in our own childhood. I'm sitting on my deck and hear their parents saying that they won't sell anything because it's not hot enough, not enough traffic, not this, not that and so on. The kids simply ignored them and continued setting things up.

Low and behold, they get a customer, then another, then another customer.

In a matter of 15 minutes there must have been 8-10 customers there. They made money that day, and served the needs of their customers.

How you ask? Two girls standing on the corner with signs that offered lemonade at 5 cents a glass, then they sold them cookies at a $1 per...needless to say, with a bag containing about 24 cookies, they did OK.

It's very similar to one of the most successful business models ever, McDonalds. Get them in with the cheap burgers, then upsell with the drinks and stuff that have a huge profit margin. Crazy that some 9 and 10 year olds are using the same model.

People like Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Ray Croc, etc...have the mindset of 'anything is possible' and only listen to those that they gain knowledge and strength from.

Why is it then, when we, as adults, try and start our own home based/internet business, we tend to listen more to those around us...family and friends...that say we can't do it, we can't make money doing that, won't work etc...

Develop the 'knowledge' of an adult mind, and the 'anything's possible and creativity' mindset that we had when we were kids, we would never listen to anyone tell us that 'we can't do that' ever again.

Online Marketing Is Customer Centered

2008-10-03T12:14:00.000-06:00

An old adage in sales is that “the customer is always right.” Over the years as retailer grew large, profit margins faded and experienced salespeople grew scarce, there seemed to be less interest in the customer.

People grudgingly accepted the lack of customer service as the price they paid for cheap products. They complained, but they bought anyway because that’s just the way it was. Online shopping, while distant, is more customer centered than many local retailers.

To develop a rapport with customers in a virtual environment, online marketers had to establish trust and expertise, and they did it with relationship building, money back guarantees plus fast delivery. This customer-centered approach not only created trust as planned, but also caused a surprising number of customers to ignore the local stores and shop at major retailers’ online sites.

As a developing Internet marketer, you can learn from this brief history. You want to position your product as user friendly, beneficial and open for refund. Granted, this is easier with downloads and information products than with shipped products.

But even shipped products that offer guaranteed, no questions asked refunds actually have fewer refunds because the consumer feels free to try to return it if they’re not satisfied. Before the sale, you want to provide ample information about the product and the benefits that your customer will receive from it…ie. save time, money and effort etc - including several photo or video views if appropriate.

Think about the questions a buyer might ask and have the answers ready before the question arrives. An easy way to provide this information is with an expanded FAQ (frequently asked questions) page. Make sure there’s a link to the FAQ page from each product page.

If your product requires assembly after delivery, post an extra copy of how to assemble it. Even better is to post a video showing and telling how to do the assembly. Another great idea is to post videos showing alternative ways to use the product. This gives buyers options that they might not have considered.

To be consumer-centered means that you can be reached easily. Post your email (or that of your customer service center) and a phone number or SKPYE name. If you are the “Customer service center,” send those emails to a designated email box and answer them promptly.

If you can’t, at least set up an autoresponder saying that you received the customer’s email and are working on the solution. The more ways you can be contacted, the more the customer feels at ease that you aren’t hiding in some unreachable corner of cyberspace. You can’t shake hands with your online customer, but you can create an ongoing buying relationship by demonstrating that you’re a customer-centered and an expert in your field online marketer.

Rich Dad / Poor Dad Event

2008-09-29T17:57:00.000-06:00

I just spent the afternoon, along with a good friend of mine, at a Fast Track to Cash Flow event. It's facilitator is a guy by the name of Darren Weeks from Edmonton, AB. Canada, who does a fantastic job.

I love these events and attend as many as I can. The way I see it, even if I only learn one or two new things that I can use in my own business, it's well worth it.

He teaches the philosophies of Robert Kiyosaki of the Rich Dad / Poor Dad fame...and his recent book written with Donald Trump, 'We Want You To BE Rich'

Their mission - ‘To Elevate the Financial Well-Being of Humanity’

They teach the way rich people think, invest, take action etc, as opposed to poor or middle class.

The majority of us (me included) were told to get a good education, get a good job, and retire with that company. That investing and getting a high ROI (return on investment)was risky.

The fact of the matter at this present time is that the risk is having a job, what with all the closures, downsizing, the China factor, etc...

So I pose this question to you all and let you ponder it for a while...why do you continue to listen to people who are not successful investors or business people.

Why do let your family, friends and others determine whats right, whats wrong, what's a risk, what works, what doesn't.

If you want what the wealthy have, if you want to be where they are, then find a successful mentor, one that's been down the road, and follow what he did, and does on a daily basis.

If you want something bad enough, and you take daily action towards your goal, then NOTHING & NO ONE will get in your way...period!

Here's the links for Fast Track To Cash and Rich Dad websites.

Social Bookmarking to Grab Attention Online

2008-09-27T16:57:00.000-06:00

Social bookmarking is the electronic version of leaving a breadcrumb trail. After all, you can have a great product, but without enough traffic, it’s just another nice site. Even if you have a faithful marketing list, you constantly want to reach new online viewers.

The options for connecting with social bookmarkers are exploding. That’s why you need to surf around and see what’s out there, then set up a series of “regular” social bookmarking accounts to use.

StumbleUpon is one of the leading social bookmarking sites that’s both easy to use and powerful. Once you create an account, you can add the toolbar interface. Then all you do is click the Thumbs Up icon to recommend a site. You can do this for your own sites, or ask your friends to submit a Thumbs Up rating for you. Besides the rating, you can add comments about the site.

Can you Digg it? That’s not just a line from a 70s movie - it’s a widely used social bookmarking site. Digg functions much like Stumble Upon with raters given the chance push the ratings of a site to the front page. Making it to the front page of Digg gets your information in front of thousands of viewers and it helps traffic flood in to read your newsworthy submission.

Clipmarks describes itself as “scissors for web pages.” As with other social bookmarking sites, you can submit items that are sent to the web - including to Facebook or to an iPhone. As a one stop service and huge time saver, sign up with OnlyWire.

You begin by installing a plugin for your browsers, and then you only need a single click to submit your item to multiple sites. To make this work, you still need to sign up at bookmarking sites that you plan to use. After that, you can use OnlyWire to handle the multiple submissions.

Make sure your site viewers know how to rate your site. You can’t reward or bribe them for bookmarking your site. That’s the social bookmarking version of stuffing the ballot box at voting time.

You can put links to the bookmarking sites on your sites as a gentle reminder. And don’t be shy about submitting your new information to the networks yourself – just make sure you also submit other sites so that you don’t appear spammy. Let people know what you’ve got and where to find your site and they’ll share that information with others.

What Does ‘Financially Free’ Mean to You?

2008-09-23T16:24:00.000-06:00

We have all heard the term, ‘Financially Free’ but what does it actually mean to you. You see, everyone is in a different stage in their life, and business and therefore, every answer would be different.

I attended a seminar put on by T. Harv Eker, called ‘The Millionaire Mind Intensive’…and it was just that, Intensive! I heard the best definition about what it really means to be ‘Financially Free’

T. Harv, who by the way, went from 0 to a millionaire in 2.5 years, said it like this…

’To be ‘Financially Free’ you need to be able to live the lifestyle you desire, without having to rely on anyone else (welfare, unemployment, hand outs or charity)’

But the key is that the income must be passive. What ever business system you set up, it must be able to run without you. That’s why the Internet and the technology is so appealing to most, because you can have a system run on autopilot for the most part, and bring in passive income every month.

To be financially free means that there is enough, or more then enough, passive money coming in every month, then what is going out (being paid).

If you add up your out going payments every month and they total $3000, and that amount allows you to live the life style you desire, then that’s all you need to be ‘Financially Free’

Being ‘Financially Free’ also allows you to have the time freedom that is lacking for the vast majority of peoples lives around the world today. If you ask most that have achieved ‘Financial Freedom’ they may tell you that the time freedom, that comes with, is just as important as the money.

Think about your own situation right now...how much would need? Once you have a dollar amount to get you to your desired life style, work back and map out what you have to do every, hour, day, week, month and year. Find money making systems - work smarter, not harder -

What you have to realize is that you can start to build your ‘Financial Freedom,’ day by day, week by week and so on, even if you have a regular 9-5 job right now.

What if you only worked on your 'Financial Freeedom' for 1 hour per night, 5 days a week, and it took you 2 years to succeed...would that be worth it?

2 years is not a long time, and will go by regardless of what you do or don't do! So you can take action starting today...or not.

It won’t happen over night…unless you win the lottery…so be patient and consistent and keep building those passive money making machines.

Please leave a comment and let me know what your definition of being ‘Financially Free’ is.

"3 Easy Ways to Attract Love Like A Magnet" by Cucan Pemo

2008-09-23T13:12:00.000-06:00

This an article written by Cucan Pemo about atracting love in your life. It's funny how this method is responsible for everything you attract in your life, health, wealth and happiness!

If you are still single and yearning for that someone special to come into your life, to share your life, and to share all the laughter and joy of being together, there is something you could do to attract your true love like a magnet!

(1)You must believe you are able to attract true love.

This is important! In order to attract your true love, not just any type of lovers, to come into your life, you have to believe you are able to attract the right person into your life. True love comes to you not because of chance. Instead, it comes to you because of who you are. It comes 'through' you, it does not come to you. You attract the people in your life because of who you are.

If you are someone who is always cheery, generous, kind, and hardworking, then it is very likely you will attract people who have one or more of your positive attributes. Whoever you attract into your lives is a reflection of who you are at that moment. Thus if you are someone who is always doubtful of your own ability and capability to meet the right person, then it is very likely you will attract the wrong person into your life!

(2)Love others who come into your life at this moment.

Being loving to others is perfect love, not just wanting love. Open up your heart and give your love to others as well while you are waiting for your someone special to enter your life. When you open up and give more love, more love will return and be given you too. This is the law of give and receive. When you go outside and socialize, do not go with the intention of only wanting to find love, or to find your Mr/Mrs Right. Instead, take an interest in all those that you encounter, be aware of their welfare and needs as well.

If you start to take an interest in other people's welfare and needs instead of only your own, more people will be attracted to you. So, detach yourself from the feeling that you want to find that someone special. The right person will definitely come to you one day and be attracted to you because of who you are. He or she might must be around in a corner thinking : "Hey, I want to get to know this person who has so much magnetism and optimism. How can I approach him/her?"

(3)Expect less from other people and give more instead.

As you give more and more love to others, be careful not to become too much focused on your own wants and needs. In wanting or expecting to experience the love we want, we suffer. We crave, and we cling to what we do not have and we even refuse to let go what we have clung to. Your giving should not come with any conditions.

Instead, the love you give should want less and less. As your love wants less and less, ironically you will find more love coming your way, even without you asking for it.

Give true love, so that it opens up and embrace the world. Very soon, you will find that someone special entering your life. It is not by chance that this person has entered your life, but you have cultivated the 'seeds' to bring him/her to you, not just any type of person, but the right and true one for you. And after he/she has entered your life, continue to cultivate even more 'seeds' of love for everyone around you, and you will find that you can easily create the 'magical' relationship that you desire effortlessly.

Secrets of a Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker - Book Review

2008-09-22T16:42:00.000-06:00

T. Harv Ekers best selling book, 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth' digs down deep to the root cause of your money problems...or lack of money problems.

Just their are 'outer' laws of money,(business knowledge, money management, investment strategies, etc...) their also must be 'inner' laws. He gets you to look inside your own thoughts about money, and teaches you how to change them, calling this 'your money blueprint'

Your results will only start to change when 'your money blueprint' changes.

Not only did this book change the way I looked at money, but also improved every aspect of my life. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

If you've ever struggled with money issues, T. Harv gives you the opportunity to change it once and for all!

I also attended T. Harvs Millionaire Mind Intensive Weekend in Vancouver, and it's just that, Intensive! The cost to attend is $2590 per person, but the best thing is that if you purchase the book, he'll throw in 2 tickets for FREE. When you attend be prepared for a life changing weekend!

Here's an editorial...

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly

Eker's claim to fame is that he took a $2,000 credit card loan, opened "one of the first fitness stores in North America," turned it into a chain of 10 within two and a half years and sold it in 1987 for a cool (but somewhat modest-seeming) $1.6 million.

Now the Vancouver-based entrepreneur traverses the continent with his "Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar," on which this debut motivational business manual is based.

What sets it apart is Eker's focus on the way people think and feel about money and his canny, class-based analysis of broad differences among groups. In rat-a-tat, "Let me explain" seminar-speak, Eker asks readers to think back to their childhoods and pick apart the lessons they passively absorbed from parents and others about money.

With such psychological nuggets as "Rich people focus on opportunities/ Poor people focus on obstacles," Eker puts a positive spin on stereotypes, arguing that poverty begins, or rather, is allowed to continue, in one's imagination first, with actual material life becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

To that end, Eker counsels for admiration and against resentment, for positivity, self-promotion and thinking big and against wallowing, self-abnegation and small-mindedness.

While much of the advice is self-evident, Eker's contribution is permission to think of one's financial foibles as a kind of mental illness—one, he says, that has a ready set of cures.

And here's what -Brian Tracy, author of ‘Getting Rich Your Own Way’
had to say:

“This is the most powerful, persuasive, and practical
seminar on becoming wealthy you will ever attend. It
is loaded with ideas, insights, and strategies that will change
you thinking and your results forever.”

Does This Sound Familiar?

2008-09-20T13:48:00.000-06:00

Well I found out that I'm having some company stay over for the night this weekend...a friend from Calgary, AB. and my brother from Salmon Arm, BC.

So I figured I should give my place a good cleaning...being single it doesn't always get done on a regular basis, I'm getting better though.

But after I finished I felt great, like I really accomplished something. I'm just wondering why it takes people staying over to get it done?

It's kind of the same when people get into their own business. They do a few things here and there, enough to get by. But if you have someone that will be looking over your work, and forming an impression, it motivates you to get things done, and done correctly.

This brings me to the point of having a personal business coach or mentor. If you need someone to be evaluating, looking at your work, and giving the push you need, then a personal coach will be a wise investment.

Heck, now a days you can find some experienced, successful marketers that are willing to mentor and coach you for free. They do this by giving you great value for free, in hopes that in the future you will become a paying customer. And hey, if they know what they're doing, and it's working for you, then why wouldn't you become a customer?

Have You Found Your Purpose Life?

2008-09-18T16:16:00.000-06:00

A friend and I were talking the other day about ‘Our purpose in life.’ We both had opposite views on the subject, his being that we do not have a purpose, and me, well I believe that we all have a purpose on this planet.

Do you believe that you are put on the planet for a reason?

What's your purpose...have you found it yet? Maybe your purpose is to be just where you are right now...but are you happy?... if your not then how can it be that be true.

Maybe our purpose in life is to keep looking for a purpose, and therefore creating a perpetual cycle that never ends.

Keep in mind, continuous learning is essential for growth,maturity and success.

There is an endless supply of great information out there, and with the internet, it is so easy to access. There is an endless supply of people out there willing to share their beliefs…some very well respected people.

The one key ingredient that I discovered with every one of the motivational / educational speakers I’ve heard and seen is simply their ability to enrich or improve the lives of others, with out holding their hand out for something in return.

I love the way Mike Dillard put it ‘You must give - without want – before you can have’

That is the core element in achieving great success, not only financially, but in every single area of your life.

For the most part, we are more intelligent now then ever before...and ten years from now we’ll have surpassed our present. We can use it for good, or bad...or not at all! We can improve every aspect of our lives, if we choose, or simply to ignore it.

It’s much easier being a failure in life, for that you really don’t have to do anything at all!

What if you could improve just 1% every day? Better yet, what if you could improve someone else’s life by just 1%? Or 1000’s of other peoples lives by just 1%?

The more lives you improve – starting with you – the greater reward and satisfaction you will receive. But it all starts with you!

If you get nothing else from this…get this 'if we are not improving...we are declining, if we are not growing...we are dying' and when I say we, I mean every single one of us on planet Earth!

Tired Of The Old School Network Marketing Techniques?

2008-09-17T13:24:00.000-06:00

I had written a short review last week about Magnetic Sponsoring. I am having great results using the system, and I feel I must share it again.

It really is life changing in the way you'll look at building your business, and more importantly, the way you will make money in your business.

Well here's the way my, and I'm sure most of you are trying to build your business currently...If your struggling in getting more leads, sponsoring distributors and getting more sales...please read.

Are you tired of the old school network marketing techniques? You know the 3 foot rule, hanging fliers, bugging your family and friends, and holding hotel meetings.

I know that when I first joined my first network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques. I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they would be interested in making some extra money.

I was only faced with questions I wasn't able to answer, getting hung up on, and faced with nothing but rejection.

When I was officially shunned by everyone that I knew, all my upline told me to do was to go out and buy some opportunity leads.

This only led me to some more rejection and spending a bunch of money.

Now I was out of money, and had nothing to show for it.

Then just as I was going to give up, I found what I consider to be the "life saver" for my business.

This life saver I speak of was Mike Dillard's 7 Day Free Video Boot Camp.

In these 7 free videos Mike explained how I could attract an endless stream of prospects to me ready to join and actually get paid to prospect.

These videos have really changed the way I do my business, and I think they can help you too.

The Main Determining Factor Between Success and Failure

2008-09-15T12:27:00.000-06:00

It always amazes me when people who are struggling, and living from paycheck to paycheck, in a job they hate, unhappy and complaining constantly, aren't willing to change their daily actions, but expect that somehow their results or circumstances will change.

Your current situation is a direct result of your past actions...or lack there of.

Your past actions are a direct result of your past thoughts and mindset. Until that changes, there will be no positive changes in your present reality.

Don't think you're going to change it all in a day or a week. What you need to realize is that nothing changes until you change your mind!

You also have to realize is that you only have to improve ever so slightly, every single day, in order to improve your results. If only improve 1% per day...you've improved 365% in only one year...that would change your results!

Remember this: 'Every master was once a disaster'. That's a quote from T. Harv Ecker, author of the No 1 national bestselling book, 'Secrets of a Millionaire Mind'.

He says this not to discourage or intimidate you, but rather to tell you that even the best of the best, in any any field, had to start at the beginning.

Back when Donald Trump was going through his tough times, and eventually lost everything, his entire fortune, he could have given up. He didn't! He fell down and got back up and continued forward. He had the mindset of a Billionaire, and therefore, anything less would not be good enough. He soon had his fortune back, plus much more.

Even after he had made millions of dollars and had great success, Donald Trump had to start at the beginning. But because he had the mindset and thoughts he did, which led to the daily action, he was soon on top again.

When you change your mindset and your thoughts, and focus on your end goal, your daily actions will change as well, guiding you down the right path. This and this alone is the first step and main determining factor between success and failure.

Increasing Your Wealth

2008-09-09T16:56:00.000-06:00

While we are all looking for increased wealth…we ultimately need to increase the wealth of others first, before we can attain our own. And by doing so in this order, and only this order, will you build a self sustaining, perpetual machine.

I remember a network marketing company I was with in the late 90’s. A coworker and friend, that I had helped in the past, approached me. I told him about it, and he signed up that day, and paid his membership for a year.

I ended up signing up 2 others that day, which I had not approached. It was a good day for me back then.

Now that I look back, that was my first connection with attraction marketing. I had not approached any of them with my business or its products. I built relationships with them over a period of time, and had assisted each of them in various ways in the past…not expecting anything in return.

You have to enrich the lives of others, without want, before you can have. And the only way to do that, is to invest in yourself first.

Convince Your Mind...and the Rest Is Easy

2008-09-06T14:53:00.000-06:00

Your mind (conscious, subconscious, thoughts) is the single biggest factor in determining whether you will struggle through life, or live a life full of abundance.

When you have convinced your mind 'what' the outcome 'will be' then it has no other choice but to take you down the right path every time. Once your mind is convinced, the proper actions will follow...there is no other option.

In our universe there are things we don't, and maybe never understand...and maybe we don't need to understand.

Let me ask you this: when you get into your car, you turn the key and it starts, 100% of the time (on a sound vehicle). Do you think to yourself before turning the key...I hope there's power from the battery, to turn the starter, to crank the engine over, and hope the sparkplugs fire to drive the pistons and on and on...No, because you know that, when you turn the key, you will get to your destination 100% of the time. You don't have to understand how every single thing works.

Think of your mind as the key, when you turn it on, focus on where you want to go, you get there 100% of the time...there is no other option.

Just like wanting to run in a marathon, first you must convince your mind that it can be done, then you start the training and necessary action so you can reach your end goal of running in a marathon.

For some it may take a week, a month, 6 months, or even years. Same goes with your business, some succeed faster then others. Just because one person takes a month, and another takes a year, it doesn't mean that the person that took a year is any less of a success then the person that only took a month...they both ended up reaching their goals.

When you finally decide to start with you, and changing your mind thoughts, then you will not only change your world, but also the world of all those around you.

Your Burning Desires - It All Starts with You!

2008-09-05T17:06:00.001-06:00

No matter what you want to do in your life, what you want to accomplish, you would agree, that it all starts with you…period!

Sure there are other factors and influences involved, but if you decide you want something bad enough, you will always find a way to get it.

I was 12 and wanted a new ball glove. I didn’t have the money, but even back then I didn’t say ‘I can’t afford that’ instead I said ‘HOW can I afford that’ and within a few days I collected enough pop bottles to buy my glove.

When your burning desire is so great that it is literally embedded in your mind, then there are no other options, you will find a way to succeed.

I’ll share with you another experience that I had a few years back when I was an adult.

A friend approached me, he had just gone through one of those ‘no money down’ real estate courses, and he wanted to partner up and start flipping houses. I wasn’t happy in my job as a dairy manager in a grocery store, so I thought yea, lets do it.

We had no extra money, no experience, couldn’t get a mortgage for another house, so we started with Zero…Well I started placing ads in Real Estate networks on the web and low and behold I received a call the next day. After faxing back and forth, within an hour we had both signed a simple one page contract of the terms and conditions.

The next week we found, and purchased a house…a fixer upper for sure. Our investor, whom we’d never met, sent down a cheque – in trust to our lawyer – for the full purchase price.

Well it ended up that my partner was not willing to follow through to the end, so we parted ways. I finished renovating the house, sold it, split the profits with my investor and made about $20,000 in 3 months…not bad seeing as how I started with Zero, just a burning desire!

I tell you this, not to impress you, but to impress upon you, that once you set your mind to something, once you have a burning desire, and once you just get started, things seem to magically happen that get you to your end goal…but it’s not really magic, that’s just how powerful your brain is. I believe more powerful then any computer on the entire planet.

It won’t all be roses and glory along the way, but that’s part of the learning and growing that you’ll have to go through if you wish to reach your goal.

Attempting and failing at something is not failure. Continuing to attempt the same things, and expect different results, that’s failure.

It all starts with you and your desire, and the value you bring to the table. The more value, the easier success will be.

My investor was attracted to me because I was able to give him a good Return on Investment (ROI) which is what every investor is looking for. I was attracted to him because he was able to supply the capital needed for me to reach my goal.

Understand that it all starts with you…period! By adding value to you, and then those around you, you can achieve any goal that you set for yourself.

I've Just Read Magnetic Sponsoring...

2008-09-03T13:13:00.001-06:00

Well I received and read Magnetic Sponsoring yesterday (Sept 2/08) ...and what an interesting, eye opening great read. It starts from of a point that really makes so much sense, if we look at the other aspects in life.

Those athletes that get paid the most, well they are generally the best in their field. Tiger Woods, A-Rod, Kobe Bryant, Sydney Crosby (soon will) and I could go on.

Those that are the best in the business world...Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, the founders of Goggle, Yahoo, Walmart, Amazon and so on get paid the most because their the best in their field period.

If you look at it from that perspective, then those in their chosen business or industry that perform the best, probably get paid the best. They have the knowledge and training system that they follow on a daily basis.

So from a network marketing point of view, we really should not be surprised when we bring people into the business, and 95-97% fail and spend more then they make.They lack the proper knowledge and training system to succeed.

The only way to change it is first:

-- increase your own knowledge and value that you can bring to the table to help them in their marketing and building a successful business...people want someone to lead them.

-- Educate and introduce them to a system that solves their biggest problems in Network Marketing...cold calling, bugging family and friends, hotel meetings, the 3 foot rule and I could go on.

It's a mandatory read for anyone that I work with...I had a feeling it would be just from the videos.

Finding Affiliate Partners to Joint Venture With

2008-06-20T13:10:00.000-06:00

You can always position your product in third party marketplaces like ClickBank and Commission Junction. They’re the most well-known markets for selling your products, but you also want to secure joint ventures directly with marketers who promote your niche topic, not wait for them to find your item on ClickBank.

Start by listing as many sites as you can where there’s strong interest in your niche topic. That includes discussion forums, chat groups, membership sites, and Google groups. Don’t forget the social networking sites like Squidoo, Facebook and MySpace just to name a few very popular sites.

Listen to the social conversation going on. Ask a relevant questions and pay attention to the answers. Do you get comments and ideas or recommendations for an information product and website with more details?

From that information, go to the suggested sites. These are potential affiliate partners. Even if you don’t see any affiliate products on their sites, contact them and propose an affiliation. It may be that the site owner is so focused on his or her niche that product affiliation wasn’t even considered.

Or they may not know how this can work to their advantage for new business. You never know until you ask. When you discover another start-up site related to your niche, propose an affiliate JV opportunity.

When approaching a potential JV or affiliate partner, be sure that their cut or commission is enough to warrant their effort. Make it worth their while to promote to their list. You should offer no less then a 50% profit margin for your partner. Remember, you can take less profit because you will have hundreds promoting for you.

They may not have much traffic in the beginning, but you’ll grow with them. You can also propose a shared email campaign - agree to recommend their site to your list if they do the same for you with their list.

If using this strategy be sure to approach those with a similar list size. If your list is 4000 and you want to approach someone with 10,000 in their list, you could maybe offer a 2 for 1 deal. They send your offer out once to their list, and you send their offer out twice to yours.

Now, here’s one source that new marketers tend to avoid: highly successful sites. As soon as you see the big site with powerful affiliate partners, don’t think there’s no room for you. An established site has a large following and repeat visitors and the owner is always looking for ways to provide value and insight to his or her community. You can offer a special bonus or discount for the site owner.

Identify the top 5 most influential people in your niche and study their websites. Look at their products and promotion methods. After a thorough analysis, contact their centers of influence and propose your product as an affiliate.

Send your product for a review. Most new Internet marketers avoid the big guys thinking that people so well established in the niche wouldn’t bother with a newcomer. You might be surprised at the result of simply asking.

Some of the biggest names in Internet marketing are great people who believe strongly in the “pay it forward” philosophy. Don’t hype yourself, tell it straight and ask for an opportunity.

All these methods are free of cost from you. They will require you to put in the time and effort, but the pay offs can be enormous! Just think about it, you have your product and instead of you promoting all by yourself, you could realistically have hundreds of people promoting for you.

When you get the open door, you need to present your best quality product with excellent customer service so they feel comfortable sending their traffic to your site.

The Advantages of PPC Marketing

2008-06-05T14:39:00.000-06:00

Many Internet marketers have steered clear of pay per click (PPC) marketing campaigns because they've heard horror stories of how people have lost money. Instead of focusing on the advantages PPC marketing has to offer, they focus solely on the risks involved.

What they don't realize that the PPC marketing can bring them more success than failure if they know how to properly execute an ad campaign. There are many benefits pay per click marketing offers that other forms of 'net marketing can't compete with.

PPC advertising is one of the easiest campaigns you can set up. Setting up a new account is easy and usually costs no more than $4.95 if you're using Google AdWords. After that, you just have to enter your campaign specifications and monitor your success rate.

Make sure when you first start out, set your daily budget low enough so you won't be part of your own horror story. You can start at something like $10 per day, or what ever is within your budget. You can even start out at some of the smaller search engines, just to get the hang of it. These will have lower search counts, but they also have less competition for the keywords you're bidding on.

No special changes to your website will be needed if the site has a perfect landing page already. If you're seeing a lot of traffic, but the conversion rate isn't as high as you'd like it, then you might consider revamping your landing page. You must continually test and tweak your PPC ad campaigns, but once you find one that is converting well, stick with it until you start to see a decline in conversions.

The successful search engines are used by millions of Internet users each day. They use search engines to find information and products. If your site isn't already on page one of the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages), then PPC marketing offers you a way to get there without enduring months of SEO optimization.

By having the ad appear on the first page of search results, the chances of driving tons of targeted traffic to your website increases. The ads begin showing the same day you set up your campaign - no waiting for your site to get indexed or found by search engine spiders. Make sure your ad is relavent, since you pay for every click, you only want targeted traffic.

If you create the right kind of ad campaign for PPC marketing, you'll be able to find people who are ready to buy. Using long-tail keywords help tremendously. For instance, competing for the term 'golf' might cause people to click through who are looking for golf jokes, golf vacations, or golf books.

The more competition they is for a keyword or keyword phrase, the higher you will have to bid to get them. So being specific, or using long-tail keywords is one of the most important aspects of PPC. When you're specific, you will have laser targeted traffic to drive to your site. The more targeted your traffic, the more sales you will make.

If your site sells golf clubs, you've just paid for those searchers to click through on your ad when they're not interested in what you're selling. A better keyword phrase to target would be 'Taylor Made Burner TP Fairway,' because then you know you're targeting a potential golf club buyer. There are no excess costs to worry about. You only pay when people click on your ads. If those ads bring paying customers, then your profits will more than pay for the PPC ads. Long-tail keyword phrases cost less to bid on than broad keywords do.

PPC allows you to maintain control of what an ad says on the results pages. If the ad isn't as successful as it needs to be, it can easily changed at any time. The changes can take place quickly. Some other forms of online advertisements don't allow you to alter the ad once it's running.

With the control you have over your PPC ads, you can also control your budget for this advertising technique. You can choose the bid amount for each keyword, control how much is spent each day, and pause or halt a campaign with the click of your mouse. With this much power over the cost of it, marketers shouldn't fear PPC marketing, but welcome it into their online strategy.
