The search engines of employment

by Richard Clocher

They are called jobs. Unfortunately most of us must have, and do not always turn out to be exactly what we wanted. Hmm, what can we do about this little dilemma? Well, it's not like we can write-off jobs in total. That would not be prudent to move ahead bearing in mind that we need to win capital. I assume that everything that needs to be done is to try and try again. Search here and there to find that race is really right for you. Or at least one that can be enough to meet about 40 hours a week. On the bright side, this process has been simplified. Currently living in a world where traditional jobs classified section of the newspaper is forgotten. Now it's all about job search engines to find online. Therefore, if you're not Jack on the Internet, the time has come.

After college I thought it would be difficult to find jobs of any kind. You see, at that time I lived in the Mass, and all I ever heard from anyone was that the labour market was atrocious and gloomy. I wondered how I ever find any workplace. However, things were not so gloomy. I climbed to the site and began to discover the search engines of employment. CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com are two of the most important. These two sites can do wonders. If you have not tested the search engines of employment, however, this is how it goes. You can simply select your area of expertise and education. You can then reduce it to a specific region or try a search at the national level. If you are interested only in electrical engineering positions in North Carolina, no problem. Another cool aspect of the job search engines is that you can punch in their actual degree. This will also present some results.
His resume is a crucial part of finding the right job. This is why you want to see pristine before placing it on the job search engines for businesses and talent scout to see. And if you're going to send your resume to a prospective employer, make sure you alter it slightly to suit the needs of the company. It is imperative to consider all the competition that is rival. You have to put their best foot forward to succeed and get where you want to be.

Finding addresses online

by Mary Rosenburg

Do you need to find a residential or business address, or would like to verify the address of a friend? Did you know that the discovery of this information can be as simple as connecting to the Internet, looking for a search service people and carry out a search with one or more brief details?
There are two major search services that can help people locate the information you need and they are as follows:
-- Direct Search
-- Investing phone search
A search forward, also known as a "people finder" search, is a service that can help you discover the right direction, general location and telephone number of an individual. All that is generally required to do is enter the person's name or the name of the company appointed in consultation table. But it can offer the city and / or who are in state, or zip code to search more precise.
A phone reverse search, sometimes called reverse phone search, backwards or a telephone number search, you may be able to provide you the mailing address you're looking for, and can be very useful if I do not remember the name of the person or company name you are looking for. To use this search facility to locate an address, you only need to enter the 10-digit phone number provided in the table for consultation.

You will always be seeking to address both of the above searches, provided that the number of the person or company you are looking belongs to a list (public) telephone number. Therefore, if the number you are trying to locate belongs to a cell phone, he was not provided with this information freely. However, you have a second option with a reverse trace phone that you will not have a search forward - a payment option.
Forward cell phone searches are illegal, since they are considered an invasion of privacy due to the fact that the number is considered private. Therefore, even with interest paid mobile search is prohibited. By contrast, wireless pay a reverse search was legal, because you already have the phone number you want to investigate. Therefore, you can still use a phone line payment invest track to try to find the direction.

Making Money Online - Tips And Strategies

by Fritz Lorenz

Trying To Make money online - although it is simple - is not easy. There is a learning curve. Successful online marketing definitely requires a few hours a day in the beginning of training. The right coaching and mentoring is critical - and the best possible type of program is one where the professional internet marketer (your sponsor) is substantially rewarded for helping the total beginner to make ongoing online sales.
Yes, making money quickly is possible for some new people - but not without taking action and effort in the learning & doing department. Getting rich overnight for a beginner is not a realistic goal with any program. If somebody tells you otherwise - Run for the hills because that person is likely trying to trick you into joining their program.
Having said that - a total beginner can really expect to generate a few thousand dollars every week or so while they are learning everything we teach (earn while you learn)...if they treat there business like a business and are diligent in their study of the tips, tactics and strategies we provide. The good news is that there is nothing special needed beyond the comprehension of an intelligent teenager for you to make this happen.

Some people simply aren't willing to invest a few hours a day for the first couple of weeks learning as much as they can. Of those who do, however, some really do have a realistic chance of generating up to 5 figures their first 4 - 6 weeks in the business (including the time they spend learning what we teach).
By the way, the training can somewhat overwhelmed you by all the information you see. Don't worry. Instead, feel secure in knowing that we can teach you a lot and that you are in the right place to make a future on the internet.
So - if you are ambitious, you have a positive attitude, and you are willing to be a teachable & coachable student - then YES, your dreams can come true ...perhaps not overnight - but how about within a few month's.

Is A Shopping Cart Right For You?

by Cynthia Morse

If you sell products online, chances are you use a shopping cart service, such as 1ShoppingCart or Practice Pay Solutions. Shopping carts help to automate the online purchasing process, making business owners' daily lives much easier. On the other hand, if you only sell services, you may or may not use a shopping cart service. How do you know whether or not you should invest in a shopping cart to help automate your business?
Start with your business, and what you are selling. If you are a coach for example, and you sell only your coaching services in terms of time, you probably don't need a shopping cart. You can still accept credit cards, as long as you have a merchant account.
If, however, you are a coach that also sells products, such as eBooks and audio programs, how much time do you spend processing orders for those products? A shopping cart can not only help you process orders 24/7, but is completely hands-off. You can sell products while you sleep! This saves you time to do what is more important to you, like coaching your clients.

If you sell products of any kind online, it makes total sense to automate the purchasing process with a shopping cart. The shopping cart interface can be customized for your business, so your customers never even know they are being taken away from your site to process their order.
Having recently completed a training course for setting up and maintaining shopping carts, I understand what is involved, and have already helped some of my clients with this time-consuming process. The setup process is somewhat technical, but there are usually helpful support personnel (or your Virtual Assistant) who can guide you, and help you get your shopping cart up and running in no time.

Should You Buy A Domain Name With Your Name?

by Fadzuli Wahab

Domain names used to be a huge business back before the bubble burst in the lates 90s. Even though it is still selling like hot cakes and there are even people who are profiting from it by reselling it today. With most of the single words found in the dictionary already taken, we need to move into a different set of domain particularly after people's name.
So now do you have your own domain name with your name on it? You would be asking why buy a domain name with your name? My name ain't famous nor has it any value. Well all of us know that our names are given by our parents and to some religious believers understand that their names are already predestine by God. Our names carries value and meaning which many would overlook. Such as my name Fadzuli, in Arabic it mean the special one in the family. There may be 20 to 30 others with the same name and spelling in the world. I did do a check on my name. So names like mine do carry uniqueness thus it allows me to brand myself even though I would not win the search engine war immediately.
Have you ever thought that your own name can be worth millions someday. Would you trade it for anything else? I doubt so right. Well if you are already doing Internet Business, you would understand that domain names carry value overtime. If you buy a domain today, it could be worth millions if the name is wanted by someone someday. So imagine if you bought www.billgates.com, if Bill gates might want to own that domain name and would buy it for what is worth millions or even billions because he is worth that much.

So you see, even if today its not worth anything but in the future it might. People might be Googling or Yahooing your name for certain reasons. Maybe because of your work or your achievements. So by having your own domain name under your own name can benefit you because you can attain free traffic all the time. Imagine telling your friend or new contact about your name. " Well if you happen to forget my company's name, just Google for my name and you can find my company too ". Wouldn't that be easy?
Sounds like a crazy idea right but its true. Here's an example. Recently my friend posted an article about "Alisson Stoke", it intrigued me to find out more about this person, so what else did I do right!!. I've Googled for it of course. Today I believe the pole vaulter has millions of hits worldwide. Perhaps the media had helped a lot to publicize her achievements. Whatever it is, it does help to have your own domain because other than Googling, some might even try to type "yourname.com". It has become a habit throughout the years since the Internet started and thus the branding is working very well.
Recently I have helped a friend to buy her own .com under her name, her name is actually quite common in our community but yet its not bought yet. We were actually surprised though and its one of those few one word domains that is still available in the market. So now once you have your domain already, you do need to do some work to get your rankings up.
How to get your name up to the first Google Page. Here's a little SEO tip.
1) Create a blog or site that has track backs or can be pinged easily.
2) Comment on forums or blogs and leave your links there to make sure you have as many back links as possible.
3) Attain a certain level of traffic..
In time to come if you do the above mention methods, your name if unique will be search widely from all over the world. All the best to trying this out. Do get your domain first before someone else buy it!

Do You Have The Internet IQ Needed For Online Business?

by Lee Roshan-Nahad

A big draw for may to online business is the seeming ease at which anyone can make money. It is true that anyone can make money but there is something that may not cross the mind of someone thinking about building an online business; Do You Have The Internet IQ? Or simply put; Do You Know What You Are Doing. I am referring here to the very basics, the fundamentals, the very first steps you need before you even start your potential business.
I'm going to keep this fairly simple and just list a couple of things which you really should know if you are going to build an online business.
-Basic HTML
Now if you're really new to this internet stuff then the mere sight of these few letters may bring horror to your mind. But it really isn't all that big a deal. You don't need to be any kind of "Super Genius" or anything, it would simply be a good idea to do some basic research on what html is, how it works, and how to do it yourself. Just the basics would be enough (unless you are planning to build major websites), you don't need to spend much time, just get the basic understanding.
-Sending Email
This is a very basic skill which you can learn in about thirty seconds if you really wanted to. It is so simple and yet it really is quite important. If you build an online business you will likely be wanting to keep in touch with a great many individuals and in fact there are many situations where you can't do much of anything unless you can send some basic information via email. So this is a real necessity to learn.

-Typing/Copy & Paste etc
Being literate doesn't mean that you are automatically computer literate. You will need to know basics like how to write a word document, how to copy & paste, how to save files etc. These are not difficult to do in fact you could simply type them into a search engine and be given detailed instructions on all of these things.
-Basic Computer Care
This is about taking care of the computer itself. Just some basic knowledge of how to maintain your computer can save you a lot of hassle and expense. Considering that your entire business will likely be run from your computer, it is a good idea to learn how to protect it against viruses, spy wear, trojans and alike, as well as taking care of the actual hardware of your computer. Think of your computer the same way that you would think about a brick and motor business, you would do all you could to protect and look after you premises so treat you computer the same way.
-Internet Literacy
I assume that if you are reading this in an article directory site that you are at least somewhat internet literate. This kind of literacy is quite simply your ability to surf around the internet. Not much to learn about this, just look around the internet and see what's out there. There are lots of viruses etc out there but as long as you know the basic computer care skills then you should be alright.
Learn these basics (if you don't already know them) and you will be setting a firm foundation for you to stand on in your efforts to build your very own online business
Good Luck!

3 Internet Businesses You Can Start For Free

by Huey Lee

As hard as it is to believe, it is possible to start an Internet business with little or no financial outlay. Of course like any other moneymaking endeavor, you will eventually have to invest some money in order for your Internet business to grow. But you will be surprised at how far you can get without spending a cent. Here are a few online businesses you can start for free.
Sell a product
This is by far one of the most profitable to make money on the Internet, which is why many small startup businesses take this route. Unfortunately this will involve a lot of hard work and time. If you are serious about taking your Internet business to successful heights however, you should probably be prepared to do what it takes to get there, so the hard work and time investment shouldn't be an issue.
As time consuming as this particular business is, the challenge becomes even more formidable if you are working without a budget. This is an important factor to consider before you get started in this line of work.
Sell someone else's product
Another way to make money online is by becoming an affiliate or a reseller for someone else's product. This business involves referring people to the web site of the product supplier and getting a percentage out of every customer who makes a purchase based on your referral.

Unlike selling your own product, this business is a lot easier to get started in without capital. Unfortunately the down side to this is that it is not nearly as profitable. However, it is possible to make some decent money from this business, provided you sign up with legitimate and reliable supplier who will keep track of sales and pay you on time.
Selling ad space
The first step in this type of business is to develop a web site that will attract a lot of traffic. You can simply sign up for web hosting with a free service and fill your web site with useful and relevant content that people will want to access. Once you get a good stream of steady visitors, you can then display ads on your site for which advertisers will pay you. Contextual advertising is one of the latest trends in this Internet business and it should be considered if you want to stay competitive.

Internet Business Tip Number 3 - Are You Greener Than You Thought?

by Ray H. Brock

Have you been working at home on your own internet business for a while?
The home has now become the UK's most popular start up location. More than 60% of businesses are started from home and over 1400 new home businesses are launched each week (source: Home Business Report, October 2007).
Apart from the more obvious benefits a home-based internet business brings such as more time with the family and friends and being part of the local community, one of the key benefits I can see myself is the slump in car maintenance and fuel costs. I now have a 30 second commute to my office (upstairs and turn left). Which means the car can sometimes be left in the garage for days because I've taken to walking to local amenities now that I have more time in the day.
Admittedly my home electricity bill has increased slightly but it's no where near the level of fuel savings I'm making with the car.
So, without even thinking this issue through, it seems I'm already a friend of the environment. How about you?

According to the RAC Foundation, an increase in home working contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions and could cut peak traffic by up to 10% within 5 years here in the UK. And it's surprising to know that new business owners can gain up to 20 extra days per year through giving up the daily commute.
I just wish I'd discovered this business opportunity before so that I could have spent so many more hours with my children as they were growing up. Not only that, but they would have grown up with a more entrepreneurial mindset and become involved themselves. Still, there's time yet.
But what I love most is the work/life blend. Starting and growing my business with my partner from home has meant we can work together and share the financial rewards.
An internet business has definitely provided a better work/life balance for the family.

Online Listings For Business Companies - Why And Where

by Andrei Ci

Why should you have your business listed on the web.
If you have a website or a blog for your business, you must make it known. It is no use if you have a website and no one visit it. You won't have any customers or just a few. Your business must be a presence all over the internet, you must be a voice among your competitors.
Let's say someone is looking to buy something you sell. If he searches the web with a search engine and your website is not in the first five results, you definitely loose, loose more. If he searches a web directory, or a set of web directories, and he don't find you there, he will find your competitors for sure, and you loose again.
As you understand, the more your website is spread on the internet, the best. Your site will have a great exposure to visitors on the web, and also in the search engines results; and so you will have a greater part of the full fruit.
Where should you list your business company
First of all go and submit your site to the search engines, generally to the major ones: Google, Yahoo and MSN. It will take some time until your site will get indexed by them. To accelerate this process, have other sites link to yours. In other words, continue the process of listing your business on the web.
Open a blog for your business website, describing your business and letting people now about anything it's new in your business. Don't forget to link it to your main website.

Another way to spread your business is to add your website to the business directories, and mainly to web directories. Almost all web directories have a subcategory about business where you can submit your website. There are lots and lots of web directories on the internet that you won't have time to submit to them all.
The start point should be DMOZ or ODP (Open Directory Project). Just go to dmoz.com and suggest your site to be included in their directory. They say that The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors. And it is so. To have your site listed in DMOZ will be very good for your business, and it's also free.
The business.com is a large directory related only to business. Business.com is the leading business search engine and directory and pay-per-click advertising network serving more than 40 million unique business users and thousands of advertisers every month. It is more like advertising and you have to pay, but it will bring you great exposure to your business.
Other notable directories are: Romow.com, Odp.in, Dirsnap.com, Authoritydirectory.com and many more. Another way to have your site listed is to write articles, or have them written by others you pay, and submit them with your business website to article directories, like articlemarketer.com, article-dashboard.com or ezinearticles.com
There are many more web directories where you can add your website. Some are just free, some require a reciprocal link, some must be paid. Just search google for web directory, or business directory and it will show you up an endless list. Try to submit your site to as many as possible; don't forget, the more your site is listed on the web, the greater is the risk to have many visitor to your business website and many customers.

Secrets Revealed - How To Build A $200 Per Day Passive Income Generator

by Fabian Tan

Imagine waking up everyday to a bunch of sales notifications in your email inbox. Is it a 'pipe dream'? It certainly isn't. Thousands of people just like you wake up to that wonderful feeling everyday. If you know it's possible to make $200 per day online, then this article is just for you.
Just what are the 'secrets' to making $200 per day? I believe it's down to three things - a quality product, massive traffic and massive action! Think about it - if you don't take massive action, it's not likely you will get massive traffic or even have a quality product to begin with.
Making an income online is not about going for a 'get rich quick' opportunity. It's about building a solid business. I always emphasize that making a consistent income online is possible once you start to think of Internet marketing as a business.
OK, so first off, you need a quality product. There are two ways to go about having this - an affiliate product, or your own product. Promoting a proven affiliate product almost assures you high conversions from the off, but the downside if you have to split your profits with the merchant. Having your own product allows to keep 100% of the profits.

How do you create your own product? The easiest way to create a product is to write an ebook. You can either write it on your own or hire a ghostwriter to do it.
Now that your product is created, let's move on to the serious business of generating traffic. Here are the best ways to generate traffic online: article marketing, pay per click marketing, press releases, forum marketing, classified ads and search engine traffic. All these methods are high quality traffic generators. If you master them all, you'll never be found wanting for money.
So what are you waiting for? Go and take massive action right now!

Are Membership Sites for You?

by Joyce C. Thorburn

There are basically two types of membership sites:
Free Sites
Paid for Sites
People on any membership Site have common goals and interests.
Free membership sites are often offered to a customer after they buy a product. In that way they will be sure to get any updates of the products, and/or support from the vendor. Also, a lot of Forums are in the form of free membership sites. In order to post threads you need to be registered, and have an ID and password.
There are free Forums for about any subject you can imagine. They are great places to go if you are trying to find a profitable niche market. Every Forum has its own special subject people have interest in. You listen to what people are talking about. The things they want, or need. The problems they want solved. This way you would be able to give them the solution to their problem, by selling them the information they need, or the physical product they're looking for. And, of course you could belong to a forum because you are just interested in the subject.

Paid for Sites come in all sorts of forms:
Sites where you pay a monthly fee in order to use certain software. You often need to be a member,
in order to have access to certain keyword tools.
Sites where you pay to use PLR documents, and where you might get new PLR packages every month.
Forums, connected with Websites that provide Internet Marketing training.
The Marketing Training Forums can be very beneficial. You can go there as a Newbie and ask questions. And there might be some more experienced marketers there that will give you the answer you were looking for.
Of course some of these forums are better than others. If you do find a "Newbie friendly" forum, the monthly fee you pay is well worth it. And, once you become an expert, you will stay and help others.
Setting up a membership site isn't all that complicated. And it gives you recurring income every month. But do your research and check on your competition. Make sure your site is unique and covers a not so well known subject, or approaches it in a novel way.
People that become members of a membership site, and then discover it wasn't what they expected, can always cancel their membership. Just make sure you do that before the next month's payment is due.
Overall, membership sites can be quite lucrative for the owners of one, and quite beneficial and/or educational for the members.

Using Google to Run a Reverse Phone Lookup

by Martin Verite

Google is by far the most popular search engine on the internet, and has been maintaining this status for years. One of the secrets to its success is the fact that it is easy to use, free, and extremely complete. Furthermore, it has many added features that allow you to search for specific kinds of results, such as images, videos, and phone numbers.
The phone number searches offered by Google aren't just forward searches, but also include reverse phone lookup options. Therefore, if you have a telephone number and you'd like to know who owns it, you simply need to plug it in to Google's service, and you'll be provided with the results page.
Though you can perform a lookup using the main searching page at Google, the best place to get the results you're looking for is within the Google people directory. To find that page, simply go to Google and type "Google people search" into the query box. You can also simply enter the number into the query box. Either way, the results that will appear when you click "search" will be headed by the Google directory.
Always make sure to include all ten digits of the telephone number when you're performing a search, because any reverse phone lookup site will require both the area code and phone number for accuracy.

If your search is successful, and you've looked for a number that is listed with Google, your results page will include the name associated with that telephone number, as well as the street address, city, state, and Zip code.
If your search to find out who owns a phone number is not successful, it could be for a number of reasons. Google lists only American numbers for residential and business landlines. This means that unlisted numbers, cell phone numbers, and international calls (including those from Canada and Mexico) are not among those listed in the Google directory.
For those kinds of numbers, you will need to find reverse phone lookup sites that are specific to them. Those sites are not hard to find using the Google search engine, but simply are not available within the Google phone directory itself.

Martin Verite is a freelance reporter and technologist who enjoys covering the telecommunications industry. Find out everything you need to know about reverse cell phone lookups at his site http://www.FreeCellPhoneLookups.com

5 Ideas for Increasing Multilevel Marketing Profit

by Daegan Smith

If you're looking for new ideas to increase your multilevel marketing profit, here are a few things you should consider.
Find More Recruits
Maybe you haven't noticed it yet, but the numbers of your downlines has been steadily decreasing. This could be due to various reasons, and you certainly should find out if it has something to do with the way you manage them, but in any case, one way of increasing your multilevel marketing profit is by injecting new blood to your team. Find more recruits because they immediately increase the number of sources of income you have. It may not immediately transform into profit, but at least the potential is there.
Offer Training Seminars and Workshops
Your downlines may be diligent and devoted, but they may not be as creative or as updated as you are with the latest tricks and techniques in multilevel marketing. If so, maybe it's time to ask your downlines to attend a training seminar and equip them with new knowledge, skills, and abilities to improve their performance.
In offering training, it's important to identify your people's strengths and weaknesses, teach them how to exploit their good points while overcoming their bad points. You should also learn how to determine when individual or group training is necessary. It's also important to offer it to the right person at the right time and place.

Change Your Target Market
Your target market may have reached its saturation point already, and that's why your profit margins either stay the same or decrease. If this is the case then it's time to look for a new target market.
Consider the demographics of your target market. If you're catering to teenagers now, do you think it would be possible to market your products to a younger or older age group? If your primary market is black people then maybe you should look for another state with a healthy black population?
Consider the untapped sectors of your target market as well. How can you make these people aware that they need your products?
Offer Extra Incentives and Motivation
You've got a healthy number of downlines and all of them are highly equipped to market your products effectively. The demand for your type of products is high so what could possibly be wrong? Have you considered looking inward? Maybe you've been so busy you've forgotten to motivate your team?
Reestablish communication lines between you and your team. Become more vocal about your support and in encouraging them to work hard and make sure to let them know there are financial rewards at stake for people who perform admirably.
Branch Out Online
Traditional network marketing may have been founded on in-person sessions, but there's certainly no rule that prevents you from exploring another avenue such as going online for instance.
By creating online access to your network marketing proposal, you get access to a more global audience. With the help of an affiliate marketing program, you can also have traffic coming from long established and highly reputed websites.
If none of these ideas for increasing multilevel marketing profit works then maybe it's time to ask the Big Question: could the products you're selling be no longer as valuable and attractive as they once were? If this turns out to be true, you don't need to start from scratch. You can keep your steam and use the same management style. You just have to look for a different network marketing company to work with.

Do You Want An Online Business?

by Tudor Ciurescu

Have you tried to start an Internet marketing business and failed? You certainly are not alone. There are many people who come online, expecting to carve out their success in a short period of time.
Many of these people are doing that because they follow unscrupulous marketers, that promise them high returns in little time. That can't be done. There is no shortcut to success. Internet business is like any business that you start except the fact, that you don't talk, see, watch the person that you are trying to sell or to buy, LIVE. This is the only difference.

Of course, in both world`s you have to...
- Do publicity to your business;
- You have to "rent" a space, from were your business sell her products;

- You have to stay up till next day, to figure out how you can make your business work;
- To convince people that they should buy from you and not from your competition;
- To have better prices than your competition;
- Etc.
This are just a few thinks that you must do in the "Business World", no matter if it is the Virtual or Real World.
Except...

Is It Possible To Get Rich On The Internet?

by Iyabo Oyawale

Now let me go straight to the point, is it possible to get rich quick on the Internet? I know you have seen and heard several get rich quick on the Internet claims.I am sure 'Make $100,000 in 3 hours Without Any Stress Whatsoever' is a phrase you have heard so many times.
But the truth is,a lot goes into building an Internet Business such that it would be improper to say it is a get rich quick process.While there are tremendous possibilities on the internet, you have to be patient. Far too many people go into a business expecting to get rich over night. There are some things you can do to speed up the process, but do not expect to go from rags to riches over night.
In many ways,building an internet business is not different from building a traditional business. It takes the same effort,time,energy and planning to run an offline business successfully.An offline business does not turn in profit from day one,same for an online business.And if you will permit my bluntness,it is virtually impossible to get rich quick on the Internet (I may be wrong,so,you can leave your views below).
The first thing to consider when you want to start an Internet Business is to ask yourself the 5Ws and H.If you are a 'retired journalist-turned-Internet Marketer'(laughs) like me,you already know what I'm talking about.In journalism,we have the 5Ws(what,who,where,when,why) and H(how) of a news story and if you are writing the report of an incident that has taken place,your report must contain all those elements or else,it won't be considered complete (gosh,this reminds me of my Journalistic days).As an intending Internet Business person,you must ask yourself the 5Ws and H,that is:
1.What-what am I going to sell online which people will gladly give me money in exchange for? Is it a product or service? This largely depends on your hobbies or personal experience as well as a market need.Locating a need in the market and deciding to fill that need.This way,you are assured that people already want what you want to produce,so,you don't need much convincing to sell.This is largely true for someone who wants to go into the Infoproducts creation and marketing business because anyone who has been online for sometime nows there are different business models on the Internet.

2.Who-who will buy what I am going to sell online? This involves being able to single out a market that you are going to serve on the Internet.On the Internet,success does not come from serving everybody.It comes from having a small market and really satisfying that market.To be able to single out a market to serve,it will help to read articles on finding a profitable niche market.
3.Where-This involves asking yourself where you are going to be selling what you intend to sell.Is it on a blog,website,etc.It also involves deciding where you are going to advertise your products or services.
4.When-This involves asking yourself when you are going to launch your product or service.Or when you're going to advertise.Is it everyday,every week or what? You decide that.Timing is very crucial to the success of any venture.For instance,you cannot make much money from a cold drinks business during the rainy season,so,launching such a business in the rainy season is disastrous as you will be frustrated,people drink cold drinks during the hot season.
5.Why-Why am I going into the business? Because I have a flair for it or there is a need for such a service online? You need to be able to come up with your why."Findyourwhy",so,says,John Di Lemme. What is the purpose behind your starting an internet business?
6.How-If it is a product business you want to run,you ask yourself,how am I going to create my product? Is it by writing myself or hiring a ghostwriter? Is it by interviewing an expert. If it is a service business,how do you want to deliver the service,via email,on your website or what? You have to determine your how at this point.
That is it: the 5Ws and H of starting an Internet Business.They will no doubt help you in streamlining your thoughts and plans.
Having said that,let me say having a plan is really the first step in starting a successful Internet business.Setting goals and stating how you want to achieve your goals will help a lot.Now,put everything on paper,don't just let your goals roam endlessly in your mind,concretize them,put them on paper.Give life to them and they will no doubt come to pass.
After developing an extensive plan,it is time to build the business. Depending on which internet business model you have decided to run with,you now have to create a web site, generate content, make it visually appealing and easy to get around. You will come to learn that your web site will never be completed. In order to stay ahead of the competition,you constantly have to be adding fresh content and new ideas.
Now that you have a web site up and running, it is time to promote the internet business. It is crucial you take the time to advertise every day for an hour or more. The only way you can earn any money is if you have traffic coming to your site. Therefore, your marketing campaign is one of the most important facets of the business.
While it is not going to happen over night, eventually you will begin to have a steady flow of visitors. However, getting traffic to your site is not enough. You have to turn these visitors into customers through your web site and customer service. And in order to have a successful online business,you have to learn how to turn one-time customers into loyal customers. This is a great way to become successful rather quickly.
So as you can see,a lot that goes into building an internet business. There are programs you can join to speed up the process, but even then there is extensive marketing needed to have success(eg.Affiliate Programs). If you are patient and determined,the internet offers possibilities you will find nowhere else around.
And as a concluding remark,always see all your efforts geared at making money online as sowing seeds.Seeds have to germinate,grow into a big tree before they start bringing out fruits,same with your Internet money-making efforts.They go through the same cycle but I tell you,if you are the patient type,you will reap a lot of money from the Internet because the Internet is a cash cow,I can tell you after 5 years of being online. That's the Law of Nature and nothing can be done to circumvent it.A seed has to germinate,grow into a tree before starting to bear fruits.I rest my case but not without asking you my earlier question,Is it possible to get rich quick on the Internet?

Why Stretching Will Kill Your Sales

by Barry Densa

I'm a tennis fanatic-my whole family is. I'm a 4.0, my wife is a 3.5, (those are USTA rankings) and my daughter plays on her HS tennis team.
If a tennis match is being broadcast on the Tennis Channel, ESPN or FSN, life comes to an immediate standstill in my house. The dishes are left in the sink, laundry doesn't get done, and the dog doesn't get walked (we just put him out in the backyard).
We play tennis (lessons, matches, tournaments) 3-5 times a week, and we'll rarely schedule a vacation during the "slams" (Australian, French, US Opens and Wimbledon).
And yes, I want to have Roger Federer's baby.
Okay, you get the point.
Now recently it's been promulgated by physical trainers that tennis players, and presumably all athletes and weekend warriors, should not stretch before exercising, playing, competing, etc.
I'm not going to get into all the reasons why, or when you should actually do your stretching. Suffice it to say, stretching is detrimental to your health if it's the first thing you do before exerting yourself in any physical endeavor.
And I find it so interesting that the same prohibition also applies to, yup, marketers!
Stretching before presenting an offer will hurt a marketer's back-end (sales, that is) and...
It'll kill cash flow
Here's why...
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). The entire developed world has it. And I'm not slighting those who are clinically diagnosed (though there seems to be some debate as to whether it really is a true medical disorder).
Nonetheless, because of technology, ambition, opportunity, cost-of-living and a myriad of other reasons-the most valuable, transitory, easily depleted, irreplaceable resource that can be neither seen, touched, smelled or heard-is time.
No one has a wealth of time, just a constantly growing deficit.

Therefore, as a marketer, if you don't grab your prospect's and customer's attention immediately with a compelling and captivating offer-the odds of making a sale is about the same as me turning off the TV when Roger Federer is playing.
And yet, if there is one affliction most marketers suffer from-it's Speed Deficit Disorder (SDD)
They don't get to the point-quick enough!
Every communication you have with your market, even if it's not sale-related-has to be clearly discernible and understandable, online and off, "above the fold". There's no time to warm-up and stretch.
And I'm not just talking about your headline-which is a whole 'nother topic. But even your headlines have to be clear and direct; they can't be cute or obtuse. A headline must possess all or most of the 4 U's: it has to be Useful, Urgent, Ultra-specific and Unique.
What I'm talking about here though, is your first sentence, your first paragraph-after your headline.
In every promotion, right from the get-go, you've got to tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, before you tell 'em anything else.
No one's dying to hear from you
So don't go strutting through cyberspace and customer's mailboxes like a peacock with no sense of purpose or direction.
After all, you're asking for someone's time. Many parents will give up their children before they'll sacrifice their time-that's why there's day care centers, latch-key kids, and sociopathic, homicidal, high-school gun-slingers (don't get me started on the lack of quality family time).
Waste your target market's time often enough, and your emails and direct mail will be deleted and discarded before they're opened-same goes for your website.
I don't know how many times I've arrived at a website and wasn't sure I was in the right place-'cause I couldn't immediately see what they do, what service they provide or what products they sell-and I didn't have the time to find out.
If you could sell time-you'd make a fortune. In the meantime, whatever you're selling will cost time-at the outset.
So don't beat about the bush. Don't build a warm and fuzzy nest in which to lay an egg-present the bird, already cooked and ready to be eaten.
Then, if you think it will help grease the slide, you can talk about the weather, where you went to college, the boil on your uncle's butt-or whatever you think will float your market's boat.
Learn from my mistake
If this article was a sales letter, I'll bet you a tennis bag and ten tennis racquets that I couldn't give away a Brinks truck filled with 24 karat gold bricks for $1-if that's what I was offering.
Why, because who in their right mind cares about, much less has time to consider, my tennis ranking, my tennis obsession or how I walk my dog. They'd stop reading after two or three sentences-they'd never get to the part where I offer to fill their living room with 10 tons of gold bricks for a measly buck!
But it's not a sales letter... and yet, it's still won't be read by many people-especially those not interested in tennis-because I took too long to make my point.
Sheesh! What a waste of my time!

Free Products On The Web

by George Monte

When surfing the net I often find sites that have free products offers. After thinking about it a bit, I guess those site got the idea from the offline industries, like supermarkets which offer the customers "1 + 1" deals: buy one product for full price and the second one for free.
On the web they offer you 100% free items! They do it hoping that you'll stop your browsing and stay there to take a second look at what is highlighted as a total free product and by the way your eyes will scroll over to other goods which cost full price. It's a kind of a sophisticated trap. Imagine a store keeper who hangs a big sign on one of the items he shows in the display window. He hopes too that you'll enter his shop and see many other goods and buy one of those who costs full price.
The innocent buyer, in the case of the selling site on the Internet, must stop for a moment and think before he is pushing the button and confirm his purchase: what is hiding behind those "free" deals. What is really happening behind the scene? How come a business proprietor can offer his clients "free" merchandise? A business is a business and it must gain profits in order to survive. There is an absurd here. What are the answers to solve this contradiction?
1. The customer is not going to pay for the product but he is going to pay for the shipment. For the shipment he'll pay a triple price and the total amount will cover the product regular cost.
1. The product quality will be very poor. On the computer screen it will appear as a big, massive, shining and worth a fortune! Just like they do it in the mail shopping catalogues. When you'll get it at home it will be small, fragile, dwindling and worth nothing.
1. When the customer starts the purchasing process he'll find it long and exhausting. It is done deliberately. He wouldn't be able to finish the procedure unless he is passing through several screens. In every screen he'll be offered full price accessories and will be asked to upgrade his original quest for extra money. The poor sucker is happy with the free main product he is considering to be the best bargain of his life and for some lousy extra bucks he is not going to give it up! But the naïve guy is forgetting the basics laws of economy: The proprietor can't loose! He sold the customer those accessories and upgrades for much more money than the regular cost of the product alone.

1. The one who invented the trick of "free" deals new very good the psychological mechanism of many of us. Some of us have this sense of guilt when we get a free gift. We have an urge to pay something in return. So we compensate the site owner by buying some other items, for which we are paying outrages prices.
1. Who really pay for the "free" products? The customers? The proprietor? No. The employees who are manufacturing those products - they pay the price. They earn less money comparing to what they could earn if products were sold for their full price, covering all production costs and leaving some margins for a nice profit. Living according to the true spirit of capitalism we would like to believe that fair and honest factory's owners would have paid their workers according to their marketing success. But if they give it for nothing - what is left for the workers?
So think twice when you see a "free" sign.
I'm working in an online print shop which is forced to give some of its products for free. We have to do it because other online print shops do it. If we want to compete and survive - we have to do it too. I am wondering around our working stations and see the look in our workers eyes when they are working for a job they know that is for "free". They fill as if someone is spitting on their work. You have to see their shinning eyes when they are working for a full price project when they know that someone else is appreciating their skills and capabilities.
Big business owners can reduce prices, in some cases to zero, absorbing it with profits from other areas of their vast range of businesses. On their way to success and dominate the market they run over small businesses. They take an advantage of the mass proffering quantity above quality.
As I've mentioned before, I work in an online print shop (called DCP-Print.com). I can tell you that we have decided not to give away quality. We decided not to deceive the customers with extremely high shipping costs. We do our best to play the game as fair as possible and I believe we're doing a pretty good job at it.

Open a Dollar Store - Is Craigslist a Resource for Selling?

by Bob Hamilton

One of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs who open a dollar store or a discount store is inventory management. One of the inventory management nightmares is finding methods to quickly liquidate excess, slow selling and outdated items. One potential method for handling this headache is using Craigslist to sell off that inventory in volume quantities.
If you are about to open a dollar store it is worth your time to become familiar with Craigslist and how it works. You might even attempt to make a few purchases. That experience will be helpful when the time comes to actually use the resource to sell off merchandise.
There are several potential advantages to using Craigslist. First, sales can be made in your local area. That reduces transportation costs. It also means that you are dealing with prospective buyers in your time zone; there won't be any middle of the night telephone inquiries about the items you have for sale!

Craigslist is free of charge. Your advertisement does need to be approved before it is posted, however. The entire approval process is easy and actually takes very little time. Since time is so valuable when you open a dollar store, this is a great advantage.
Craigslist can be a great place to start your excess inventory selling efforts. This is especially true for discount and dollar plus stores where pricing is over a dollar. When you are faced with quickly liquidating inventory, consider Craigslist as one of the options. You just might very impressed with the results.
To Your Dollar Store Success!

Direct Selling Online - An Insider's View

by Wesley Lynx

A Direct Selling online business, also called Direct Sales, is one of the most profitable ways to start an online business. One of the primary benefits is the freedom to decide what your paycheck will be. You are rewarded financially for how smart you work, not how hard.
There are a many misconceptions between direct selling online and MLM companies. Although they are both related to selling they are not the same. Most MLM affiliates are marketing products that are not high-ticket items, therefore providing smaller commissions. In MLM you are also required to build a very large downline in order to make the type of money people dream about. This can take anywhere from 2-10 years. However, in direct selling online, the compensation plans enable affiliates to beginning earning large commissions immediately. This enables affiliates to begin turning their annual income into their monthly income fairly quickly.
In order to be successful in direct selling online, there are several key components to look for when selecting which company to work with. First and foremost one should find a team that has experience, support and a proven system in place. Although many teams claim to have these components, it's essential to do your own research.
As a new entrepreneur, you will save yourself time and money by following the leaders on your team. Leaders have already spent their time and money discovering what works and what is not successful. Individuals who take this advice to heart, are able to propel themselves further along in their business, than those who insist on "doing it their own way."

World famous finance and business experts Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki recently released a book titled, Why We Want You To Be Rich. This book dedicates an entire chapter to direct sales and direct selling online. Both Trump and Kiyosaki state that beginning your entrepreneurial career in direct sales can be one of the best decisions a new entrepreneur can make. An individual can plug into a system and receive all the real-world business training they need to be successful, for a very reasonable cost. Once an individual has established himself or herself in direct selling online, they have the experience required to take their business enterprise to the next level where the sky is the limit!

Starting An Online Business - What You Need To Do To Get It Up And Running

by Diamonique Fortune

As you may have noticed, starting an online business is a little more complex than starting a "real world" business. That is because your business will be operated from cyberspace, and not from a physical location per se. This is the main reason for the confusion you and most beginners may have when attempting to start an online business.
Even if you know nothing about business, you know that with a "real world" business, there are certain "physical" steps you can take to get your business up and running quickly if you wanted to. For instance, with an offline business, you come up with your business concept and name, obtain a business license, choose your product or service, select the location where you will operate your business, establish telephone service, print business cards, flyers, catalogs, etc., and advertise your business. Voila, you're ready to do business.
With an online business however, you can do all these things if you want, but it's not necessary. But, since your business will be located on the Internet, in cyberspace, the steps are different from the ones you take with an offline or "real world" business. With an online business, you will need to have an Internet address or URL (Uniform Resource Locator) -- a business name that ends with .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, etc. This tells the world where your business information or website is located.
Your business will need to have web space for you to display your products and services in cyberspace for others around the world to do business with you. What that means is either you or someone else will have to design a website for you to get your business online.

If you are limited in your knowledge of computers and the Internet, and know absolutely nothing about html, web design, keywords, and search engines, this can delay you getting your online business started, and up and running.
The technical knowledge that's required to get your business online, are the obstacles you face when deciding to start an online business and make money. This can be very frustrating, if you have a great business idea that can make you a lot of money.
The three quickest ways to starting an online business and get it up and running is:
1. Hire a web designer to design your website for you.
2. Purchase or obtain a free WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) software and create your own website.
3. Purchase a website template, and using an html editor, edit the template to your liking. This will require some knowledge of html.
Using either one of these ways will get your business online, once you purchase web space, and upload your files to your host server. Once you have a website, then you need to begin to market your online business and drive traffic or visitors to it. There are many ways you can do this, but it will require ongoing study and learning.
Understanding how the search engines work in relation to keywords, and how this relates to people finding your online business and eventually buying from you, will determine whether your online business will be a success.
What it all boils down to is synergy -- effectively combining the use of the search engines, the right keywords, and the most cost effective and successful marketing strategy to drive targeted traffic to your website together at the same time, to make a lot of money with your online business.

Golden Rules To Starting An Online Business

by Kieran Philip

Naturally you will need some degree of knowledge about internet marketing in order for your business to be a success but by all means you do not need a PhD in marketing.
All you really need is a basic knowledge of how computers work and the determination to succeed.
I have written below some basic advice that you absolutely need to follow to even stand a chance of being successful.
1) write down what you hope to achieve from having an online business
Here Are Some questions you really need to ask yourself when doing this: Why do I want to start up an interactive business?
- What will my product or service is?
- How much knowledge do I have about my product or service
- what do I know about my competition
- Where I am going to find all of my customers / prospects
Remember to actually write these questions and answers down onto paper so that you can refer to them throughout the duration of your interactive business.
2) you need to choose a product or service that you intend to sell to your clients. By browsing the internet it is possible to find hundreds of products and services you can sell. The internet makes it possible for you to buy a product or service with resell rights, this means you can purchase a product and then have the legal rights to resell it at your own price and keep 100% of the profits. When selling your product or service do not put your personal financial gains first, put the customer first instead and make sure you deliver a good high quality product to your client, this will possibly create further business from that customer in the long run.
3) When you own an interactive business you will need a website (this will act as your "shop"). Every website has what's called a "domain name", this is what people will type into their internet browser to get to your "shop".
You really need to think carefully when choosing your domain name, its needs to be as short as possible i.e. Google.com or yahoo.com and it needs to be remember able.
4) Your website! Having a good website is absolutely essential; this is your very first impression to your customer. It has been proven that when a customer visits a website they make their mind up as to continue browsing in the first 4 seconds.
Some of the components of your website that you need to think about include:

-Products And Services
-Contact Information
-Pricing
-Testimonials
- Frequently Asked Questions
-Resources & Articles
-Refund Policy
-Privacy Policy
-About Us page
5) What website hosting company should I use? A Web host is a company that provides server space for your website. The web host provides space for your website just as a commercial building provides space for your shop or office.
Below is a few thinks you need to look at and take into consideration when deciding on a webhost,
- Web Space
- Bandwidth allotment
- Reliability and speed of access
6) When customers want to purchase your product or service from your website they need somewhere to go that is secure for them to enter their payment details. PayPal is the internet's Number 1 payment processor, it is internationally recognised, its 100% safe and traceable and it deposits money into your bank immediately. I strongly recommend using PayPal.
7) How do I promote my new interactive business?
Write An Article: the very first thing you want to do is brand your product or service and let as many people as possible know that it exists. An article is great for this.
Directories: List your site here too. Directories organize sites into categories. Good examples of Directories: Yahoo, Magellan.
Ezine Listings: If you have an e-zine to promote along with your site. Why not list it with one of the many e-zine services on the Internet. E-zine Library is a good one to start with.
Free Classifieds: You will have to submit to a ton of FREE classifieds to get any significant traffic. Why? You are competing with thousands of other Ads. Remember to work on your Ad copy and make it attention grabbing. Go to one of the popular search engines, type in Free Classifieds, and surf to the top 20 classified sites for beginners.
FFA Pages: Free For All's are worth a try. Be prepared for a avalanche of e-mails from FFA web site owners. If your title is attention grabbing you will get a few clicks. Good Attention grabbing headlines, FREE, Limited Time, Limited Offer, Proven, Secrets, and many more if you brainstorm.
Tell Friends and Family: If your friends, family, acquaintances, have an Internet Connection, e-mail them telling them about your new website, and ask them to visit often. Offer a FREE incentive if they tell a few friends to surf over.
8) You need to track how many visitors you are getting to your website, how many visitors opt in to my free newsletter of free gift, if you decide to email people, how many of them actually visit your website? These are all questions you need to ask yourself and find out, this way to are able to see where you should devote your marketing efforts too.
9) Final note. A strong word of advice, take your initial six months as a training period, i would be very surprised if you became a huge success in this short time, unless you had someone like me training you. Just remember, even people like me had to start some where, it took me at least one year to become successful so patience and strong determination are really required.
If you are really serious about becoming successful as an interactive marketer i really suggest find someone like me (i am not being bias you can choose anyone) to coach you. I hope this information helps, keep your eye out for more of my postings.

In business online, there are always setbacks.

There are even many people that actually discourage one, jealousy or other factors. But by remaining positive about your project and your goals, you accomplish several things, you keep yourself positive and continue to get things done that relate to your goals and avoid wasting a lot of time.

Stop doing the same things that not working to give you and your family enough weekly income to enjoy your lives. Until Next time...keep your online business in focus continue to grow continue to plan, also know your main objectives. Until next time just keep planning and planning to take your business to the next level.

Patience in Online Business - It is Virtue

by Sherrie Brownfield

Patience, some have more than others, but in business, it is a virtue we all must obtain.
Most of the time people start an online business to make money. Well, we know of course, that we have to spend some money in order to make some money. This can be tricky in knowing where to spend one's money (that is another article in itself). Perhaps even trickier at times can be having the patience to wait for that constant flow of traffic that we all long for. This is where patience becomes a true virtue.
It can take up to 90 days or longer for some to see consistent results. This is many times why there are those program hoppers out there. They don't see results quickly and they think, "this program doesn't work." So they move on to the next one. This becomes very costly in the long run. It is better to continue investing what you can into one business until it really gets off the ground.

As quoted from an article that was sent to me recently "...patience is an essential ingredient for online business success. Without it, you can give up too soon. Very few people achieve online success immediately so you need to be willing to wait until you get the results you want. This is why persistence and patience go hand in hand. Keep moving towards your goals and be willing to be patient until you reap the rewards you desire."
Patience Brings Prosperity
Demand Success! You Deserve It!

How to Use Wikipedia For Your Research

by Dario Borghino

"Welcome to Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that anyone can edit" recites the banner on the front page of the site. That doesn't sound like something a student looking for accurate information for his research wants to hear, but that surely doesn't mean Wikipedia is not a valuable site, with plenty of resources that can often help you find objective information.
It's true: any user, even anonymous, can potentially edit almost every article to add or delete information at his discretion and, whether intentionally or not, meaningfully decrease its quality. However, with just a little bit of attention on your side, you can easily work around this defect -- which, after all, didn't stop Wikipedia from rapidly becoming the largest repository of human knowledge on the Internet -- to extract valuable and unbiased information from almost every article.
How to recognize an unbiased article from one that may not be? Even in what seems a well-written piece, you usually can't be sure that each and every single sentence in it contains correct statements. As a rule of thumb, try looking at the number of references compared to the article length. A long article with few references is likely to have been written recently by very few users, which means the matter hasn't quite been discussed and reviewed properly yet, while one with many references is much more likely to contain correct statements.

The other main factor to take into consideration are the so called 'meta-data' associated to it. Wikipedia, just like many other wikis, offers a number of pages related to the article itself which very often help you decide on whether you should trust its content or not.
To sum up, the main factors to take into consideration are:
1) the article length;
2) {number of references} / {article length} ratio;
3) its protection policy;
4) the date of creation;
5) the article history;
6) the number of pictures, tables, etc.;
7) its quality rating.
Finally, you can still use Wikipedia for your research even if, all things considered, you are not too confident about the quality of the article. In cases like this, you can still use Wikipedia as a secondary source by looking at the References and External Links sections.

File Hosting - Benefits Of File Hosting Premium Account

by Shaheryar Saleem

The Internet is a jungle, you can't get enough of it. Many of us are very much addicted to movies, games, music, reading books etc, and that's why we are all in hunger of getting these stuffs. In this article I will tell you the benefits of having a premium account of major file-hosting websites.
A file-hosting company allows users to upload their stuffs and after that, files can be downloaded via a free account or a premium account. I will not be discussing about free accounts here as a premium account holds a lot of things which a free account cannot give to you. File-hosting websites have a large database of various files and contents like movies, songs, informational videos, ebooks and more which you won't be able imagine, they have tons of files which can be downloaded easily if you have a premium account.
Below are the most important benefits of having a premium account of File Hosting Website:

· Super-Fast servers, maximum speed while downloading.
· Ability of using downloading managers like IDM, Flashget, DAP for downloading files.
· No waiting, you'll be able to download files immediately.
· Direct download links available, just put the links and it will be automatically downloaded if you want to.
· Extra server-slots will be also available for premium users.
· Download as much as you want, no file-size limit.
· Back-up your files, when you upload a file as a premium user, your uploaded file will not delete until you delete it by yourself.
· Full-prior dedicated support, get instant reply from their staff.
Besides all these points, don't forget file-hosting websites are having the largest database of files all around the internet, so your downloading hunger would not vanish. Rapidshare premium account costs around $11 / month and $86 / year, I would personally prefer to have a full one-year premium account if you are very sticky to downloads.

The Mistakes I Made in My First Year Online

by Valerie Dansereau

My website is just over a year old, so I've been reflecting on my first year and the mistakes I made. I think at the top of the list would have to be the fact that I didn't ask this question of other marketers:
What would you do differently in your first year if you knew then what you know now?
Here are my own answers to that question:
1) Trying to go in too many directions at once. In my first year of internet marketing, I was like a kid in a candy store. I could see and smell success all around me and I knew I wanted some, so I tried a little of this and a little of that. End result - not a lot of progress. I switched lanes way too often. Sort of like following one car for several blocks, then choosing to follow a different car on a whim. Needless to say, you don't reach a destination that way.
2) Being a serial buyer. Along the same lines, I was intrigued with way too many products, many of which were useless. I wish I could have back some of the money that I spent foolishly so that I could spend it with forethought and planning.
3) Not sticking close enough my mentors. I have a couple of people that are at the core of any success I have achieved. At the top of the list is Ken Evoy, the brains behind Site Build It. If you purchase a site through Site Build It, one fringe benefit is an incredible forum full of very experienced and helpful people (many of whom have sites in the top 1% of all websites). In fact, the forum alone is probably worth the price of SBI.

Another example of sticking close to people that are willing to teach you, Napoleon Hill in "Think and Grow Rich" talks about needing a Master Mind group - in other words, putting your head together with others who have similar goals. Or in his words, he defines the Master Mind as "Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose."
An old friend of mine used to say, "A smart man learns from his mistakes. A smarter man learns from the mistakes of others." I probably didn't have to make all the mistakes I made, if I had only listened to those with more experience.
4) Not using a daily or weekly planner. I rely way too much on my brain. I expect myself to remember things, and often I let myself down. When I sit down to work, I find myself often wasting time "warming up" because I don't remember where I left off or what I was trying to accomplish. This is one big thing that I am working on in the coming year - making out a schedule for the coming week at the beginning of the week, so I remember exactly where I'm trying to go.
Mistakes aren't all bad - they always offer lessons. Or as John Powell said, "The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." I'm looking forward to a better year because of the mistakes I made last year.

The Secret To Getting Rich Online

by J. R. Thompson

What would you say if I told you that I am about to tell you the secret of getting rich online and not charge you one red cent? BS, right? Well, I am going to give you just that! There's nothing you have to buy to do it, there's no special talent you need to do it. All you need is an open mind, a willingness to learn, and a willingness to work towards your goals (and I'm not talking about 80 hours a week unless that's just what you want).
What Do You Want
Do you want to work from home? Do you want freedom from your job? Do you want to make enough to live the life that YOU want? All of these things are possible and I am going to show you how. You might be thinking to yourself now, well why aren't you selling this in an ebook or something? The answer is that I don't think people should be ripped off and have to pay for information that's freely available to anyone who seeks it. Zig Ziglar, one of the most successful sales trainers in the world said this best. He said "If you help enough people get what they want in life, you will get what you want in life". Remember that statement from Mr. Ziglar because this is the essence of how we make money in any endeavor.
So Who Am I
First of all, let me tell you that I am just a regular guy. I have no PHD, or special training. Everything I'm going to tell you I've learned by reading, learning, and taking action. I've also purchased my share of those amazing products that promise you $1000's per week, 6 figure incomes, etc. only to find out that you had to spam people, or invest $1000's of your own money. I am no different than you, and been had plenty of times myself.

What Is The Secret To Getting Rich Online
Before we go any further lets get make one thing completely clear, THIS IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME. If this is what you are looking for you might as well stop reading now, and surf the internet for another scam that claims to do that. On the other hand, if you are serious keep reading!
There are 4 basic steps to making money in any business and these are:
1. Learn and understand how we make money
2. Create a plan for making the money
3. Set goals
4. Take action
Seems pretty simple doesn't it? Let's go over these steps in a little detail (Note: My newsletter goes into much more detail on these topics, and takes you step by step through each process).
1. We make money with a barter, or a trade of one thing for another. This is usually in the form of a product or service in exchange for money. In order for this exchange to happen so people like you and I can make money we have to have something of value that another person is willing to exchange their money for. So the first part of the secret is we need a customer to whom we can sell something of value to, and more precisely, something they think is valuable. Now most people would immediately go out and start looking for some product THEY think is valuable. Think about this for a minute. Does it matter more that I think a product has value, or the person I want to sell it to thinks it has value? Well, the person you're selling to of course. This is VERY important because you will never get a person to give you their money for something only you think has value. So the lesson here is that we need to identify our customer first, and understand what he or she feels is valuable to them.
2. Creating and implementing the plan is where most the work takes place, and where most folks stumble. They go out and sign up for all kinds of affiliate programs, try to sell with adwords, etc., but they have no plan that outlines the steps they will take to produce and reproduce the results that make them money. If your first plan does not perform as expected, analyze it, modify it, and try again. Thomas Edison tried more than a 100 times to make a light bulb before he succeeded using Tungsten. Here we are talking about making money online, and there TONS of FREE resources out there. You can join my newsletter for FREE and I will show you how to create a plan, FREE OF CHARGE.
3. Goals are absolutely necessary! I can't say enough how important this is. Many people overlook this step as they think to themselves "I know what I want, I don't need to write it down". Wrong! You must write them down and review them often. Tape them to your bedroom ceiling if you have to! When you reach one goal, set another. Create long term goals as well as short term goals. Above all, make your goals attainable.
4. Take Action! No one can do this but you. All the good intentions in the world accomplish nothing if you don't take action. Everything is so fast paced these days, and oriented around instant gratification. We want fast food, fast cars, fast access, fast lanes, etc. You get the idea. A word to the wise. Your fortunes won't come to you overnight unless you are very, very, very lucky. But if you take action, consistent action, you will succeed.
An Example
If you're going to sell products and services over the internet as an affiliate marketer your plan would include: Identifying your market and your customer, finding a product to market, deciding on a method by which you will market (Free techniques, Paid techniques), keyword research, etc. And a realistic goal might be to have 4 campaigns running in your first month, make $1000 per month by your 3rd month, and so on.
Conclusion
Although the steps above seem easy, there is obviously a lot more that can be said around making money online, and a lot more that you need to learn. Much more information than I can put into one article. Subscribe to the newsletter below for step by step information on how to succeed in making money online. It's FREE, there is nothing you have to buy to be successful online. Remember the quote from Zig Zigler "If you help enough people get what they want in life, you will get what you want in life". You see, I have a vested interest in whether or not you succeed. I want you to succeed, because if you are successful, I will be successful. It's a Win-Win solution.
The question now is: What do you want?

What Is Residual Income And How Do You Earn This?

by Ramiro Trevino

Did you know you can earn a very healthy residual income through the Internet without really investing any money? Yes, there are many methods in which you could harness the Internet to literally work for you. It does involve hard work initially and a lot of time and effort; however, where else can you set up a business with literally zero investment? While reading this you might be thinking that this is something only those who are proficient at computers and the Internet could do. You are mistaken, actually anyone can succeed with online business whether they are internet wizards or plain novices.
Three methods are briefly discussed in this article, but you need to know that there are plenty more out there waiting to be discovered and implemented. If you want to earn online without investing any money, you can do so provided you are ready to work hard to see it happen. You also need to be patient enough to keep at it until it succeeds. Lastly you need to be a fast learner. The first and most widespread method to earn a steady residual income is by joining a reputed affiliate program.
An affiliate program is a marketing system where you gear yourself to sell somebody's product for a commission which is paid from their profits. If you already have a website, choose an affiliate program that is closely connected to your website as this would make it easy for you to sell that product and thereby earn you a continuous residual income. For example, if your website is about anti-aging home recipes it would be good if you join an affiliate that sells say, collagen creams or wrinkle erasers. If you chose to promote pet food, it would be tough on you to generate sales through your anti-aging website because you don't know if these people even have a dog. You need to have targeted traffic.

With affiliate programs every time you make a sale, you earn a commission. If you work hard and fill your site with quality content, market your website correctly, then you should be able to attract quality and targeted traffic. This would translate into sales, which in turn would generate your residual income.
Another great way of earning a steady residual income is by selling info-products in digital format which can be downloaded by the buyer. You need to ensure that your product offers highly valued information for which the seller would be happy to pay. Making an info-product requires an one-time investment of your time and effort and once it is finalized you could sell as many copies as you would like without incurring any extra costs.
The third method of earning a residual income is using Google AdSense ads on your website. While this will not make you a great income right away, with time and traffic you would be able to generate a steady income just for renting your space to Google ads. You won't get rich through this last method, but you would definitely have something you can count upon at the end of the month, provided your traffic is significant.
As you can see, Internet can help you earn money with no down cash payment. Is that not an amazing opportunity?
