Roadmap to Online Success - One Hour a Day, Five Days a Week

2006-08-11T00:38:00.000-07:00

All great journeys begin with a single step. If you stand on the sideline and mutter to yourself about the distance, then you will never start your journey, let alone complete it.

As youngsters, we did not worry about time or distance. We only knew that we wanted to go, and we could not understand our parents' insistence that something was too far away. Now, as adults, we sometimes let our adult sensibilities stand in the way of what we want.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever thought to yourself that you would like to start your own online business and cash in on the success that others are experiencing on the Internet? If so, what is stopping you?

Many people tell me that they do not have the time to start or run an online business.

Other people tell me that they do not have the resources to start and run an online business.

Some people tell me that they do not have the requisite knowledge.

Does any of this sound familiar to you?

STOP! THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

How much television do you watch each week?

How much money do you squander on fountain soft drinks or snacks?

Have you ever watched an educational television program or asked a friend about something you wanted to learn about?

My point is this...

The sociologists tell us that the average American watches 15 hours of television each week. If you could bring yourself to give up one program each day --- you decide which ones --- then you would have all of the time that you require to start and operate a successful online business.

If you buy your soft drinks in two-liter bottles, you will pay as much or less for your soft drink habit as you currently spend on one 32-ounce fountain drink. The money you save on frivolous spending could more than pay for your web hosting and a bit of advertising.

It you have taken 15 minutes out of your day in the last year to learn something new, then you have the skills necessary to learn what you need to learn, to be successful in an online business. It doesn't take much time or effort to learn what you need to learn, if you can find yourself a good mentor to help you get up to speed about this medium.

I have a full-time job, and yet, I have managed to successfully start two online businesses.

IT IS ALL ABOUT COMMITMENT

Commit yourself to one hour a day, $20-$30 per month, and one hour's worth of education in a workweek. If you can meet these bare minimum requirements, then you too can find the success you desire and crave.

The definition of success varies from person-to-person.

Maybe success for you would be to earn an extra $100 per month, so that you can take the family to an extra movie a month or give your wife a "mom's night off", where she does not have to cook at all one day a month.

Maybe success for you would be to find an extra $250 per month so that you can afford to take those classes at the local University Extension, so that you can get that big promotion and big raise at your job.

Maybe success for you would be the extra $500 per month so that you can afford to pay for a new used car for you and your family.

Perhaps, your idea of success is much bigger. Maybe you want to earn enough from an online business so that you can quit your job. Maybe you hope to earn enough that you could leave that 60-hour a week job and have more time to spend with your family. That is definitely a goal worth aiming to achieve. Your kids will only grow up once.

HERE IS THE ROADMAP TO GET YOU STARTED

1. You do not have to have your own product or service to make money online. You can sell other people's products and services, and you can earn a commission on those transactions. There are two types of programs available that can help you to sell other people's products and services. They are called Network Marketing/MLM programs and Affiliate Programs. The Network Marketing/MLM variety tends to offer a more comprehensive system for making money.

2. Find a program that offers a variety of products and services so that you can extend your own product and service offerings and reach out to a wider marketplace.

3. Find a program that offers more tutorials and resources to help you to become successful.

4. Find a program that offers mentoring through their systems. Network Marketing/MLM type companies rely on the mentor structure to grow their businesses. With Affiliate Programs, you are often on your own. Mentor's are individuals who are in the same business as you are, who are willing to guide you and help you to become successful in the business.

5. Commit yourself to one hour per day, five days per week, for learning about the business, and growing your online business.

6. Don't give up on your business. Don't give up on yourself. This should actually be the first item on my list. The Network Marketing model will not fail, if you put your mind and energy to following through with your plan. If anyone was to tell you that Network Marketing/MLM is a dead-end road, don't listen to him or her. People who fail in Network Marketing/MLM are those who fail to make a commitment and fail to follow-through.

7. Don't rely on the free website that the Network Marketing/MLM company provides to you. You can use this website to sell the companies products and services, but you do need to display it inside of your OWN domain. These days, you can register your domain for a year for much less than $20 per year, and you can get a good web hosting account for less than $30 per month. Your mentor can teach you how to set up your domain to host your web interface from your chosen Network Marketing/MLM program.

8. Try a couple of the products you sell through your Network Marketing/MLM program. In most cases, this is not a requirement, but it is a strong recommendation. Once you have used the product or service, you will understand much more about it, which will help you to tell other people about it and why they would want to purchase it.

If you use the resources that the company makes available to you, and you commit yourself to your $20-$30 per month and one hour a day, five days a week, you will soon find yourself basking in the success that you have desired for so long.

Don't be afraid to contact your upline mentors. If you need help, ask for it. Your upline mentors are more successful, when you are more successful. It is in their best interest to help you find the success you so richly deserve.

If you are a marketing guru, that will work as well. But the one thing that holds a lot of people back when they are looking for a home business opportunity is money.

Even though this is true in some aspects, there are also many free business opportunities that you can try out. Think about it, why do you need to spend a lot of money on start up costs? You more than likely have everything that you need right in front of you?

Generally speaking, the first thing that people do when they are searching for a home based business opportunity is search the internet. There are hundreds of sites that will promise you the world for no money at all; and the bad thing about these sites is that they actually sound like good opportunities. The problem is that the majority of these sites are simply scams that are meant to dupe you out of your money. To take this even further, these scams ruin it for the legitimate companies that are available.

So obviously, the best way to find a home business opportunity is to do your homework. One of the best opportunities available is affiliate marketing programs. This is a great way for anybody to start their own home business with no start up costs at all. This involves getting paid by affiliates for driving traffic to their site. Eventually you may need to start putting money into your business to be more successful, but you can get started without any problems at all.

Another free business opportunity that many people take advantage of is filling out online surveys. This is a legitimate way to make money from home, but you must be aware of all of the scams that are out there. The only way to do this is by searching through all of the available companies, and then choosing the ones that are most reputable. Finding ratings for survey sites is not difficult because there are a lot of people that are interested in this home business opportunity.

Finding a free home based business is not impossible. In order to be successful, you will want to watch out for scam artists so you do not end up losing valuable time and money

Top 10 Marketing Tips for New Network Marketers

2006-07-24T23:39:00.000-07:00

Marketing is the life-blood of most successful businesses so you must commit to learning the basics if you are serious about generating profits.

Can you think of any one thing that you purchased in the last year that did not involve some type of marketing? It doesn't matter if it was word of mouth, a television ad, business card, or a t-shirt that you saw at the mall, somebody succeeded in getting you to pay attention to what they were selling.

So, here are 10 simple tips to remember when you are ready to start promoting and building your home business.

1. Marketing Starts With You. How aggressive you are with your marketing efforts is up to you. However, you must take some kind of action. What you can't do is throw up a web page and wait for people to come. They won't. So, develop a marketer's mentality and constantly look for new and creative ways to promote your offer. Part of that mentality is being professional as you market your business. For example, you don't want your kids answering your business line or flyers circulating with lots of spelling mistakes on them. These things could cause your potential customer to turn away. Again, it all starts with you and your basic attitude towards your business. 2. Don't Run Off to Create Brand New Materials. If you are a newbie, there is a good chance that your team or company already has some marketing tools in place. You might even find someone who is making great money by using one of them. Before you run off and start making new brochures, flyers, etc., check to see if something is already available. If it is, use that until you are making a profit. I've personally seen people make six figures with one of the ugliest black and white flyers ever created. However, it did the job in relaying the required information.

3. Learn How to Target Your Market. You probably would not sell a weight loss product to your local high school or college athletes. Why? Because there is a good chance they will not need to lose any weight and will not be interested in your product. In other words, they are not your "target" market. We won't go into great detail here on how to identify your target market but some quick ways would be to find out who is already buying the product. Secondly, ask other people via formal or informal surveys. Outside third parties, like family and friends, can often provide valuable info on which target group might pay for what you are promoting.

4. Make a Plan. Now that you have developed the right mindset about marketing and pinpointed your target market, the next step is to make a plan. You can write out a formal marketing plan (can be found for free online) or you can whip up something that is more simple. Either way, you want to know specifically how you will go about reaching your target market. Are you going to use flyers, newspaper ads, business cards, car signs, cable television ads, or a combination of the above. Keep in mind that your plan must be flexible and ever changing. You just need a basic one to get started.

5. Take Action. Have you ever heard the phrase "getting ready to get ready?" These are people looking to make money from home but they never actually get going. Yes, they read tons of things online, organize their offices, sharpen pencils, etc. but they never really take the action required to acquire new customers or business partners. Once you have your plan in place, set a firm date to take action. If possible, make it sooner rather than later. Ask yourself what is really stopping you from taking action today-right now.

6. Be Consistent. What this means in a nutshell is that you can't market your business this week, skip 30 days, and then start marketing again. It's very important to be consistent and persistent until you are making the money that you desire. If you have a limited budget, break it down into smaller amounts to allow for a longer run of your ad or other marketing campaign.

7.Evaluate and Adjust. You would not keep running the same marketing campaign if it was not bringing you results. Therefore, you must be ready to constantly evaluate and adjust. Professional sports teams do this on a regular basis. They might sit around for weeks creating a plan of attack to defeat the other team. However, two minutes into the game, they are evaluating the plan and adjusting. Sometimes, the plan is thrown out completely, regardless of how much time they spent on it previously. In marketing, you might be forced to do the same thing. Use what works and drop what doesn't. With that said, you must give your plan a fair amount of time, effort, and adjustments before making major changes or ending it completely. 8. Respond Timely. Now that you have your marketing plan in motion and your phone or email box is busy with inquiries, you need to also have a plan to respond timely. People are very impatient these days. We know that Americans in particular seem to expect instant everything. You don't want to lose a potential client or customer because you can't answer their request timely. Some of the things you might consider is making your available hours well known and sticking to them, automating your process whenever possible, or hiring part-time help to assist with your business or your family.

9. Follow Up With Your Customers. This is a very important part of marketing whether that person is a potential customer or a paid customer. Potential customers often slip through the cracks because the business owner failed to follow up properly with them. Remember this, just because a person does not call you back it does not mean they aren't interested in what you have to offer. Here's a true story...I had been calling a guy for nearly a week that wanted to meet about advertising. He would not return my calls. Finally, I left a "goodbye message" that he didn't really like. The message was not rude in any way but he did not like being dismissed. However, he said something to me that forever changed the way I think about following up with people. He said, "Listen, I have my business to run and you have your business to run." In other words, he was telling me to make the effort to reach him because he was a busy man. I probably would have ignored this advice but that night he ordered my most expensive product times two. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised that the deal went through but happy just the same. It was a good lesson learned. In the end, proper follow up is critical.

10. Never Stop Learning About Marketing. Did you know that McDonald's will put up their sign in a dirt covered lot before anything else is under construction? Did you know that "red" headlines on web sites tend to pull more prospects than black ones? Did you know that lumpy things inside envelopes will get yours opened versus thrown in the trash? I'm sure you get the point. Take the time to learn new things whenever possible and never forget that marketing is the life-blood for your business-nothing really happens without it. Some way, some how, my marketing got you to this article. Now, if you would kindly send it on to one other person, that would be "viral" marketing. Maybe we will talk about that some other time. Thanks for reading.

Evaluate Every New Business Opportunity Before You Leap

2006-07-21T19:32:00.000-07:00

Every business opportunity that comes along for your consideration should be reviewed from several different perspectives before you decide to invest both your time and money. This review should be considered regardless of whether the idea is a large or a small opportunity. Corporations do this every day with every new business they look at to satisfy themselves that they are investing their resources the most efficiently. This article will review some of the criteria you may want to consider before taking the leap into your new business opportunity.

The evaluation of a new endeavor regardless of what it is should consider the following criteria. Economic, strategic fit with your company, resources required, payback compared to other opportunities and in the case of small businesses, does your family support your initiatives. We will examine each of these in a bit more detail.

Every business opportunity should be evaluated from return on investment perspective. Business owners will invest both their time and their money into the business. The question you want to answer is whether you will receive net profit after all expenses are paid that will amount to more than you could get from other types of investments. This involves estimating sales revenues, the cost to generate sales, operations expenses to run the company, produce your product and support your product to your customers. Depending on your business opportunity this can be a complex analysis, but certainly worth it in the long run. If there are other opportunities that will be more profitable, perhaps you will want to invest in those instead.

Next, owners should evaluate the strategic fit of this opportunity with their existing business and with themselves. If you have an existing operation, will the new addition compliment existing products and services or will it effectively be a totally new operation. Does it take your business in the direction that you want your company to go in? If this is a new idea for you to consider, does it fit with what you the business owner like to do? These are important questions, since there is no sense investing in something that in a year or two you wished that you had not invested because you dislike the work.

Resources are always a large part of the decision to proceed with a new business opportunity. Resources consist of people you need to run the business, money to operate your business, buy supplies and pay salaries. In addition you have to be able to find skilled people and either raw materials or finished goods that fit your business profile. Sometimes these resources are just not available.

Lastly, every good management team is supported by family members or by a board of directors or by mentors that will assist in the new venture. It is important that you have the support of these people. They must understand the business concept and potential and be willing to support you in your endeavors. Sometimes even detractors should be listened to, since they may have thought of something that you did not consider.

After you have completed your evaluation, it is always a good idea to step back and look at the big picture to consider all aspects of your business opportunity. Once you are satisfied, you can make an informed decision regarding proceeding with investment or looking for another opportunity.

Getting Your Online Business Up And Running

2006-07-21T19:29:00.000-07:00

Here is a common sense, easy to follow guide that will benefit you because you will be doing ALL the things you need to do and in the BEST order.

1 YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE.
You need to know what you will be selling. I know this may sound very basic but it’s the first thing you need to get clear on.
You may wish to add other products as you go along but you need to start with one product or service Will you be promoting your own physical product that you need to personally package up and send off to your buyers? Have you joined a network-marketing group and decided to sell their products on the Internet? You may decide to join an affiliate program to avoid all the hassles of having your own product and dealing with money transactions directly.
What ever you choose make sure there is a market for your product or service.
If there’s no market then you will have a hard time making your business successful. If the market is massive there will be huge competition.

The best way to look at your future market is to do a keyword search.
Write down a few ideas and enter in the terms you think someone might type into a search engine to find that product or service. You can use the FREE tool Good Key Words to do this. This soft ware will show you how many people typed in a particular set of words looking for information on a particular thing over the last month.

What ever it is that you’ve decided on I suggest that you will do much better in the long run if you have some type of connection with your product or service. If you are passionate about something you will be more informed about it. You will be able to put your heart and soul into making your business.

2 YOUR DOMAIN NAME
Domain NameYou may already have a domain name. If so then you will want to check that it is a great domain name. If it isn’t then consider changing it. Domain names are cheap but they are also very important. Don’t just choose one out of the blue. They should be highly reflective of your business Your domain name will work better for you if it includes your keywords.

I recommend getting your domain name and hosting from the same place. It will save you a lot of trouble. I didn’t do this when I started so I hope you will. It took me a whole week to get this small problem sorted. You really don’t need this when you’re excited about getting your new site on line.

3 GET A HOST FOR YOUR WEBSITE
You want to do this BEFORE you get a website. As you are constructing your website you will be putting it online the whole time. Yes it will be under construction but you need the host at the start. Don’t worry about how unfinished your site may look. No one is going to come across it on the Internet until you start advertising it.

4 GET YOUR WEBSITE
You must have a website of your own. You will run into all sorts of dead ends with out one. It’s great to question other people’s advice but this isn’t one of those situations.
How do you get your own website?
You can make one yourself. Nvu offers FREE software and instruction. If you follow them step-by-step you will have your own site in no time.
You can use the template method. There are sites that will give you free templates and some will ask money for their templates.
If you really feel you are not up to it then you could pay someone else to do it for you.
Choose an option you are comfortable with.

I strongly advise you to consider learning about organic search engine optimisation (SEO) at the same time. I know it’s a lot of new information all at once but it will save you countless hours and days, maybe even weeks if you have a basic understanding of SEO BEFORE constructing your website. Otherwise you may find that when you do get around to learning about organic SEO you will have to redo your whole site.

5 WORK OUT YOUR ADVERTISING PLAN
Now you have a fabulous domain name and a helpful efficient Host.
You’ve been learning many new things and you are excited about how fabulous your website is looking.
Now you need to start advertising. There are two types of advertising. There is the free kind and the paid kind. I won’t be going into paid advertising in this article. When your first starting you probably don’t want to be spending a lot of money on paid advertising. There are lots of free things you can do to advertise your new business.I love freebies

If you have read about organic Search Engine Optimisation you will understand the benefits of taking this approach. You will also understand that it is not to your advantage to submit your site to the search engines. You know it is better and quicker to get them to come to you. You now need to set up your Links campaign.

6 LINKS AND HOW TO GET THEM
The idea with links is to get as many appropriate links out into the Internet community as you can. There are many ways to do this. Getting your links campaign going is easy and fun but it is an ongoing thing. Don’t run your self into the ground trying to do it all at once. Set yourself a daily schedule and keep to it. Over time your site will benefit hugely and your links will take on a life of their own.

Two important points about your links is to make sure they are appropriate and variable.
I’m so happy to be able to share this with you. It may sound obvious and very simple BUT I didn’t realise it when I first started. As a consequence I had sent out heaps of articles and made heaps of entries into forums with very unhelpful links in my signature boxes. It was very time consuming going back into all these forums to change my signature boxes. It was interesting though as while I was doing this I noticed that some sites had changed my signature box for me. WHY? Because I had affiliate links in there and a moderator had kindly removed them for me. Being new I hadn’t realised that this was a no no.
Now I do and so do you.
Some forums and places that accept articles don’t seem to mind. You have your own domain now so cover all bases and don’t use your affiliate domain here. You’ve got more important things to do than worry and keep track of who does and who does not allow affiliate links. So don’t waste your time. Use your own domain name and put great links out there. They will serve you well.

The best types of links include your keywords. For example if one of your keywords is “running shoes” you would not choose “click here” to go to my website. Your links also need to have a bit of variety. To make them look more natural to the search engines The anchor text in our example might be
shoes for running
varieties of running shoes
comparisons of running shoes
advice about running shoes.

7 WHERE DO I PUT MY LINKS?
You now know about links so where do you put them? The best places to put them are in the signature box of your articles, blogs and forums. Previously we mentioned that the links campaign will be on going and that you shouldn’t try to do it all at once. You need to set up a routine that fits into your life. For example I suggest you write one article per week, make one blog entry every day and make one entry or comment in one forum every day. This is an absolute bare minimum but the important thing is to choose a schedule that you can keep to and to do it everyday.

I suggest that you start with article writing. You will find that once you have the article writing bit under wraps you will have plenty of material for your blogs and you will have lots to say in the forums. Also once you have written your first article and distributed it you will have put many links out to all sorts of places.

When I started I went with the free article distribution method. There are heaps of places to send your articles to. I thought this would be the best way to go.
One thought I had at the time was, what if I can’t do this? If I commit to a paid service or buy soft ware to do it and I find out I just can’t write articles then I’ll have wasted my money. I’m happy that I took this route in the sense that I soon realised that I could write articles.
Distributing the articles myself one by one was exhausting. I was getting really tired and making submission errors, which I would then have to go back and correct. I was spending hours submitting them and this was starting to have a negative effect on my creativity. I decided for my own sanity that the free article submission route wasn’t for me. It was better to spend my time writing more articles and getting more links out there to as many places as I could.

I looked at submission soft ware and decided it wasn’t for me. It looked too complicated and I would still have to spend far too much time involved in submitting them. Also when I wanted to head off for a holiday I couldn’t just log in on any old computer to use the service I had to use my original ISP server address

For me it was an easy choice to pay an article distribution service to do this for me.
I went from submitting to 50 free places each week to reaching over 42,000 people on over 500 article announcement forums, groups and website with the click of a button and I can do this anywhere in the world so long as I have access to a computer of course.

In today's economy, more people than ever before are looking for a way to earn extra money without having to work a 2nd or 3rd job. For many, starting a home based business is the answer to earning an additional income.

There are a number of various home-based businesses to choose from. One online home business that has recently launched, and is creating a lot of attention, is Easy Daily Cash. This home business claims to offer an income opportunity along with a product that is in demand today. Let's take a closer look at Easy Daily Cash and what they offer.

For most people who are looking to start a home business on the Internet today, the biggest problem they face is knowing what to do. They simply don't know what to do, or they don't have the right tools to build a business online. Easy Daily Cash is helping to solve these problems by providing a packaged collection of Internet software. Their package includes everything that anyone will ever need for their computer, or to start their own online home business. In fact, the package is so large that it could literally take you days to download all of the software included.

The collection is said to be valued at over $115,000. Something most people don't realize is that the demand for computer and Internet software is a 600 Billion dollar a year industry. That's important, because one of the things to look for prior to starting any home-based business is that you have a product that is in demand. Everyone can use software for his or her computer, or his or her Internet business.

Easy Daily Cash is also a home business opportunity. With their system a person will earn a 100% commission on every sale. This money is paid to that person directly, not the company.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE USING GOOGLE ADWORDS

2006-07-14T00:05:00.000-07:00

Have you been searching the web for a way to make money online using Google Adwords? I'm sure you have found book after book, program after program telling you how to make hundreds of dollars per day with only an hour or two of work. You could literally spend hundreds of dollars on books and websites telling you how to become an internet marketer and quit your day job without ever making a dime. Probably the most important factor that stops most people from ever making money on the internet is commitment and dedication. I'm here to tell you and give you living proof, that with the right amount of commitment and the right tools, you can make money using Google Adwords and quit your day job.

I started internet marketing about 3 years ago, amidst just having a baby, moving across the country and starting a new job. I literally was only able to spend 15 minutes a night learning this business. I just kept reading, learning and never giving up and by the end of my first year I was making about $3000 per month. Now that is not great, but I kept at it and now 3 years later I am making approximately $12,000 per month, work about 3-4 hours a day at home and absolutely love what I do.

Google has a wonderful way to help you with this business and it is called Adwords. In short, Adwords are the little ads that appear to the right of your screen when you do a search. The advertiser pays Google every time someone clicks on their ad and in return that advertiser gets someone to visit their website or their affiliate's website. It really works well, but I don't recommend just slapping up an ad and expect to make money. If you aren't careful you can lose a lot of money very quick.

If you are serious about wanting to change your life and start your own business, then there is a wonderful book you should read called Beating Adwords which can help steer you in the right direction using Google Adwords to make money online. You can get more information and actually purchase and download the book at BeatingAdwords.com, or you can read my review of Beating Adwords and other great resources that can help guide you and actually show you step by step how to get started making money online using Google Adwords at http://www.official-reviews.net.

Remember, the best book or the best program will only help you if you are committed to yourself and never give up. Even if you only have 15 minutes a day to read and learn, you can make this work.

Good luck on your journey.

How do you plan on making your money?

2006-07-06T23:13:00.000-07:00

How do you make money? How do you not let money use you? Well let's take the first question? How do you make money? Here are some easy ways: * Job * Start a business * Inherit money * Lottery / Gamble * Crime

As odd as it sounds, all above are viable ways to make money. Most of the population makes money via a job. We work for others. This is a familiar, respectable and time honored approach to supporting yourself. The only problem is sometimes you end up jobless, defeated, and angry. Welcome to the rat race!

Starting a business sounds nice. Become the boss with all the neat stuff like suits, executive offices, and lavish lifestyle. This sounds great as long as you are successful, and you assume ALL the risk. We touched on this before. Mentally you need to prepare to go through the fire of being an entrepreneur if you have never done this before.

Inheritance is great. You just need someone rich to die and leave it to us. This is not likely and nonrenewable. The money is always running out if you don't make more.

The lottery is simply NOT going to happen. Gambling is just plain stupid. Casinos don't build 75 million dollar fountains with the money they lost to patrons.

The constants in making money are preparation, preservation and perspiration. The preparation is what we'll call the money trap. Preparation centers around the business make up, the marketing action and the follow-through. Efficiency is of the utmost importance. Preservation means that your business must preserve its value. Value embedded as hard assets, or financial instruments have long been used for value preservation. Preservation of value is re-investment. Re-investment is business building.

Perspiration is the undeniable cost of owning and running a business. Most of the fantasies about running and owning your own business fade when the self-employed realize that when they don't work, they don't eat. This is the hard work that nobody likes to talk about. Successful owners are diligent, disciplined and focused people. They work weekends, holidays, and virtually everyday.

Most businesses have barriers to entry, the minimum cost of investment. With the age of computers new businesses like internet marketing, desktop businesses and other digital businesses have evolved. It is critical that entrepreneurs take advantage of automation. Few business forms don't involve interaction, high entry barriers (big investments to start) and other difficulties. MOST traditional brick-and-mortar businesses involve the investment of thousands of dollars, often with no business training or mentoring in the field of business.

An excellent business is one that fits the following description: * Low or no investment * Requires little/low time investment * Requires few/no employees * Provides a RENEWABLE source of income * Services are FAVORED over goods, as services are infinitely renewable, products reach a sales maturity level and decline

Below are some examples of desktop businesses you can use at home to make money: * Resume writing * E-bay * Internet Information Marketing * Permanent Tourists....

There are a lot of benefits to living and working outside your daily environment. It is very difficult to increase your risk tolerance while you are "trapped" by your current lifestyle. Often businesspeople "find" themselves when laid off. You may need to step outside your life to go the next level.

Most people can't envision themselves stepping outside their lifestyles because we are so well conditioned to go to a job. Think about it, you are trained to get up and go "somewhere" on a schedule your entire life. In kindergarten, kids are conditioned to get up and live on a schedule from that point on. True businesspeople don't have a rigid schedule. They earn their way by balancing risk with reward, one of which is personal freedom. What is your freedom worth? Often times we ask what the successful know that we don't. The answer is nothing. The difference between the successful businessman and us is that he will accept the risk or tough way to eke out a living and we will not. I urge you to summon your courage.

How to Hit the Big League and Create Those Massive Paychecks

2006-07-06T23:09:00.000-07:00

Don't you agree that it's about time you see some return on your investment? It can be either time or money which you've invested, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you should finally start making money online instead of chasing those impossible dreams.

The main issue you need to deal with to become successful is focus on your target and goals. In the online money making world there are simply too many different options and offers available for you to choose from.

Choose only one opportunity and promise yourself to stick with it till you've explored its full potential. Don't allow yourself to get distracted with every so called quick rich scheme or opportunity which ends up in your mailbox.

First you need to have a clear sight on what sort of money making opportunities you want to start and what the pro's and cons of each one of them are.

I've listed two of them in this article to get you started. There are other options available but we will discuss those in another article.

- Affiliate Products:

This perhaps is a simple but effective way of hitting it big online.

In a nutshell, all you need to do is go to www.clickbank.com, find yourself a program which you would like to promote and start selling the program through a PPC program like Google adwords. Write a few ads, fill in your maximum cost per click and of you go.

The money is yours right? Wrong!!

Even though a lot of people would like you to believe that that's the way it goes but, it just doesn't work that way.

Here is why.

You will have to do a lot of research to come up with the right keywords to use for your advertising campaign.

You will have to find affiliate products which have proven themselves to convert well. If you make $25 for every sold product and the product only has a 1% conversion rate (selling one on every 100 visitors). You better make sure your advertisement clicks cost you less than $0.25 to at least break even.

- Your Own Web Site:

That's it, you should create your own web site!!

To be honest with you, I think you should. But there will be several major issues you will have to deal with. For example: How will you create a web site that not only sells products like crazy but will also attract visitors.

Owning a web site is one thing, owning a web site that makes you a lot of money is a totally different matter. You will need to find a subject for your web site, products which you would like to sell, information to place on your web site, and most important you will have to find ways to attract those visitors.

So, before you start your own web site, make sure to find all sorts of information either free or paid. You will have to do a lot of studying before you'll have what it takes to build a money making web site.

When you are willing to do the necessary work needed to become successful online then the options mentioned previously are both very successful ways to create those massive paychecks. Keep in mind though, you will have to learn the tricks of the trade and pay your dues like all of us. Otherwise you might just as well fall for another one of those quick rich schemes.

How To Make Money With Dropshipping Business

2006-07-06T23:06:00.000-07:00

Dropshipping has become one of the easiest and quickest ways to make money. People from all over the world are creating home based businesses by using dropshippers to make money. This sales method allows you to begin your own profitable business without any investment in inventory, shipping, equipment, office space or employees.

In this business, you act as the middleman between the dropshipper and your buyer. You advertise the product, sell and collect payment, forward the order to the supplier and, in turn, the supplier ships the product to your customer (buyer).

The supplier (dropshipper) does not use their own return address but instead uses your return address on the package. Thus your customer (buyer) assumes the package came from you and is not even aware of the supplier.

Having products dropshipped by suppliers, allows you to concentrate on advertising, sales and promotion. You are not directly involved in packaging the product nor in making the shipment transactions. In a nutshell, this means you can offer a wide variety of products without carrying any inventory.

There really is no limit to your earning or the level of success you can achieve when you start a dropshipping business. There are several thousand men and women who have started their own dropshipping business and been successful at it. Some have even created online courses and programs for those who would like to learn about their successes and failures, and gain some insight into the dropshipping business world.

Dropshipping makes it easy for you to start making money instantly without any cash outlay. There are lots of companies out there that claim to be dropshippers. Do some research, and find legitimate dropshippers who have the products you want to sell.

Which Type of eBay Seller are You

2006-06-27T21:50:00.000-07:00

I believe there are four types of sellers operating on eBay.

The distinction between each of these types is quite marked. And the type of seller you are to a large extent determines how successful you're going to be and therefore has an impact on the amount of money you can potentially earn from eBay.

eBay Seller Type 1

Type one's are basically eBay amateurs, or newbies. They run a few auctions and sell a few items. They may operate in a specialist niche, but they aren't interested in replicating their sales in other niches. They may well be happy at this level of eBay activity as they have no aspirations to develop their eBay involvement into a business, whether part or full-time.

eBay Seller Type 2

These eBayers are apparently successful. Many PowerSellers are Type two's. What they do is buy lots of different physical products to sell on eBay. Their time is taken in purchasing products, receiving and storing goods, managing auctions, packaging items and shipping products.

They may be doing well financially, but they work long hours, are tied to their eBay and find it difficult to take a holiday.

eBay Seller Type 3

These are sellers who have found a way to be highly successful in a single category or niche, and they deal in volume. For example, they might sell DVDs or computer memory. They beat off competition from other sellers who offer similar or identical products, normally by aggressive pricing. Such sellers are often held out as the best examples of people making money out of eBay. They have significant turnover, and thousands or even hundreds of thousands of feedback. They can also have employees on their books.

Although successful financially, the truth is they are totally tied to eBay and, like type two's, find it difficult to fit in a vacation.

eBay Seller Type 4

Type 4 sellers use eBay for what it is - an amazingly powerful marketing tool. For Type fours, eBay is a means to an end, and that end isn't running thousands of auctions concurrently. The end is to create an internet business of which eBay is one element.

Type fours are information sellers. But they are different to most information sellers out there in that what they offer is usually unique and often self-created.

Type fours know that eBay is great place to sell, but realise that it's an even better source of leads for other sales. They treat each visitor to their eBay auctions as prospects. These sellers will try and encourage each prospect to buy from their eBay auction, to visit their website where other items are for sale and to encourage the visitor to leave their email address so that more offers can be made to them in future.

Type four sellers see eBay as a building block, not the end of the line.

Nine Reasons Why Your eBay Auction Won't Work

2006-06-27T21:48:00.000-07:00

If you're not having the success you hoped in eBay selling, this list might be helpful to you.

Take a look at these "sales prevention" issues, and see if you are preventing your auctions from working as best as they can.

High Start Price Many eBayers will simply avoid auctions with a high start price. Most people bidding on eBay are turned on by the thought of getting a bargain, and a high starting price rules this out. If you can bear the risk, you are far better having a low start price so as to encourage a bidding activity.

High Buy it Now Price As we've seen, eBayers are looking for bargains. If your fixed price is to high, your item probably won't sell. One strategy you can try after the item fails to sell, is to reduce the price by a small amount and try again. Repeat this until you find the optimum Buy it Now price for your item.

Lack of Pictures If you think about it, you're asking a buyer to pay you money for something they can't see or touch. The best way around this is to place quality images of your item on the auction page. Conversely, if you have no pictures on your auction, prepare for a failed auction.

You Use a Reserve Price A Reserve Price will cause many eBay members to avoid your auction. Reserves are a real deterrent for many people. I would advise you never to us a Reserve Price. Interestingly, on eBay Australia, the Reserve Price option has been removed and is not available for use by sellers. Maybe other eBay countries should follow suit.

Thoughtless Use of Words Bad spelling or poor grammar in your auction will cause a proportion of eBayers not to bid on your item. Indeed, if your auction title contains incorrect spelling, then your item may not even be returned in searches. It is highly recommended that you have your auction text checked for spelling and for grammar. And make sure your auction title does not contain incorrect spellings.

Greedy Shipping The spirit of eBay is that you charge your buyers the cost price for shipping. It is perfectly acceptable to charge a reasonable amount which covers your time, packaging materials costs and the actual cost of shipment, but don't be tempted to overdo it. Some eBayers will move on very quickly if they feel you're being unfair on shipping costs. You could try giving your buyers shipment options. They may be prepared to wait for their delivery via a cheaper service.

Negative Feedback If you have negative feedback which pulls your percentage rating down to below 90%, you can expect some eBayers to avoid your auctions. There are two actions you can take. First, you can try buying and selling low cost items with a view to improving your percentage rating. Also, you could create a new eBay account, and build up a good feedback rating on this account using the low cost buy and sell technique.

Unreasonable Terms Its' amazing how often sellers seem to go out of their way to insult prospective buyers. The classic such term is "Serious bidders only, no time wasters!" If I see this or similarly unreasonable words on an auction, I will move on. These kind of statements are entirely unnecessary, and indeed they make the seller appear to be the one who could be difficult to deal with. Don't use them in your auctions.

PayPal Free Zone Not everyone likes PayPal. I understand this. However, if you want to succeed on eBay, it is essential that you accept PayPal on your auctions. You only have to look at the figures relating to the proportion of eBay business which is paid for via PayPal. It is now running at over 70%. It is a fact that some eBay buyers will ignore auctions which don't offer PayPal as a method to pay. So, even if you're not a fan of PayPal, you need to offer it on your eBay auctions.

Check your auctions and see if you're guilty of any of the above.

Correct some of these and you may find your auctions start to produce the results you're looking for.

Work From Home Data Entry in the 21st Century

2006-06-27T21:45:00.000-07:00

Secondly, the equipment in most cases use by the work from home date entry personnel if provided by themselves and generally is main prerequisite by the company.

Since the emergence of the Internet over the past 5 years work from home data entry has become a fast growing enterprise which has been able to process a rapidly growing amount of information for hundreds of companies world wide. Online data entry jobs and information processing workers help ensure the smooth and efficient handling of information especially when it's in a data entry work at home environment. By keying in text, entering data into a computer, operating a variety of office machines, and performing other clerical duties, these workers help organizations keep up with the rapid changes that are characteristic of today's "Information Age all from the comforts of their home."

In addition to the Data entry jobs titles discussed below--such as word processors, typists, and data entry keyers--data entry, Work from home data entry and information processing workers are known by various other titles, including electronic data processors, keypunch technicians, and transcribers.

Data Entry work at home usually involves setting up and prepare reports, letters, mailing labels, and other text material. As entry-level workers (like most of them are) work from home data entry, word processors may begin by keying headings on form letters, addressing envelopes, or preparing standard forms on computers.

Senior word processors or High Level Data Entry Clerks may work with highly technical material, plan and key complicated statistical tables, combine and rearrange materials from different sources, or prepare master copies.

Most keyboarding is now done on computers by work from home data entry clerks that normally are connected to a monitor, keyboard, and printer and may have "add-on" capabilities, such as optical character recognition readers. Word processors with data entry jobs use this equipment to record, edit, store, and revise letters, memos, reports, statistical tables, forms, and other printed materials.

Although it is becoming less common, some data entry work at home workers are employed on centralized word processing teams that handle transcription and keying for several departments with the company that assigns them. In addition to fulfilling the duties mentioned above, work from home data entry workers often perform other tasks, such as answering telephones, filing, and operating copiers or other office machines while working from home.

Job titles of these data entry jobs workers frequently vary to reflect these duties. For example, administrative clerks combine word processing with filing, sorting mail, answering telephones, and other general office work. Note readers transcribe stenotype notes of court proceedings into standard formats.

Data entry keyers usually input lists of items, numbers, or other data into computers or complete forms that appear on a computer screen. Some work from home data entry workers also may manipulate existing data, edit current information, or proofread new entries into a database for accuracy. Some examples of data sources include customers' personal information, medical records, and membership lists. Usually, this information is used internally by a company and may be reformatted before other departments or customers utilize it as part of their data entry jobs.

Keyers (work from home data entry) use various types of equipment to enter data. Many use a machine that converts the information they type to magnetic impulses on tapes or disks for entry into a computer system. Others prepare materials for printing or publication by using data entry composing machines. Some keyers operate online terminals or personal computers.

Increasingly, data entry keyers are working with nonkeyboard forms of data entry, such as scanners and electronically transmitted files. When using the new character recognition systems, data entry keyers often enter only those data which cannot be recognized by machines. In some home offices, keyers also operate computer peripheral equipment such as printers and tape readers, act as tape librarians, and perform other clerical duties.

Remember everything that you see in life is some form of Data Entry and in the 21 Century it's more than likely being done by a work from home data entry specialist.

Starting An Internet Business

2006-06-27T21:43:00.000-07:00

The opportunity of internet business is at its best and is just passing by, if you do not make use of it today. Uncertainty and being afraid will not get you anywhere if you are scared of repeating your mistakes or go by examples of people who got burnt. All businesses have an element of risk and failures are imminent. Take them as a part of your professional life and learn from them. The following tips may be useful to answer the million dollar question of how to start an internet business.

The objective of these tips is to enhance your confidence, knowledge and help you to lay a firm foundation to build a solid and sustainable online business.

1. Perfect Business Idea: Most online businessmen may have already thought, planned and perfected the business idea they would like to pursue. Making it a reality is however, an entirely different ball game. If you are not already one of them, the best place to start would be to begin with the subject that you are an expert in or in love with. Choosing a marketable niche is the first answer to "How to start an internet business".

2. Market: While starting or embarking upon an internet business, make sure the market is vast and wide, the more wide the market, the more chances of making money. Limited markets would ensure a tough going. Market research plays an important role here and would go a long way in saving time and resources in conducting the internet business.

3. Business Name: What's in a name? Going against the Shakespearean definition, the name has a lot to do with descriptions, memories, retention and marketability. Researching the name is important and it could make or break your internet business. Make sure the name gels well with the business and the domain name registered. The impact of the name is very important for the future of your internet business.

4. Business Plan: Putting a plan on paper is very important. Keeping it all in the head is good but failing to remember a point or two could cost dear. Failing to plan is akin to planning to fail. The stimulus that comes with putting thoughts on paper would further help refine your plans and would help measure the success of your internet business on a time line. Planning strategy, financials and future policies would be a great way to begin.

5. Funding: Along with planning, funding your internet business is of prime importance. Most businesses are known to have come down due to shortage of funds on a growth path. Adequate funding is important to incorporate and take advantage of evolving technologies and ever growing opportunities to keep ahead of competition.

Apart from many other aspects that are involved in developing a successful internet business, the above tips are a key to your internet business and should be followed to the "T" to maximize its profitability and longevity.
