If you build it, will they come

If you were to start a business the ‘right' way, you would have at least tens of thousands of dollars available for 24 months of living expenses, start-up costs, inventory and marketing.

A more typical situation is this: you have a passion in your soul and you know you can make a business from it. Other people have done it and are making lots of money; why can't you? So you either got laid off or quit or your kids are now in school and you start your business.

You quickly realize you need to do ‘marketing.' But marketing costs money and you don't have much, so you study guerrilla marketing. You learn that you need to do so much – you need a web presence, you need to network, you need to write. You need a blog, PR, search engine optimization and published articles in print and on the internet. You need to do internet radio, internet marketing, publish an email newsletter and speak publicly.

If you did everything the experts tell you to do in their fr'ee teleclasses, you would need to work 20 hours a day every day. Also, you need to know what to say in all your marketing!
So what do you do?

If your budget is small, having a good plan is even more important. Start with an education in marketing fundamentals. Once you fully understand the basics, deciding what to do in your marketing will be so much easier! Your education must have a small business emphasis and should be very interactive.

At the same time, you need to study how others in your industry market their businesses. Be careful here – only study those who you know are successful, and do not compare yourself to others.

Because of all the variables, marketing can be a series of experiments. Your industry, your personality, your investment, your knowledge, your attitude, the economy, your family support – all these and more contribute to the success or failure of your business. Because of all these variables, there is no ‘one way' to build your business.

Start out by reading books and taking fr'ee teleclasses about starting a very small business, and studying your competition. Hiring a good small business coach will accelerate your education. At this point, you will have a much better idea of what needs to be on your marketing plan, in what order, and when you might need to hire help.

If you stumble along and never invest serious time and money in your marketing, there is a very good chance it will take 3-5 years (or more) to get up to speed and making a profit.

Starting An Online Internet Business - 7 Tips To Make It Easier (Ezine Ready)


For several years I did research online to find the real internet "gurus" to learn how to start an online business. After finding all the scams, my head began to hurt. Luckily, I did not fall for any of them. Finally, I stumbled across some legitimate resources and the pain subsided. The information I found lead to more information which lead to even more information. Obviously, my head began to hurt again. I was suffering from information overload! Everything that I saw I had to learn about. The problem was, I was trying to learn too many things at once.
There are many ways to earn money online. Among the most popular are online stores, affiliate marketing, internet auctions and selling information products or e-books. I have subscribed to newsletters, read e-books and even listened to tele-seminars to learn about all of these and more. In the process of learning, guess what happened? I was reading about the success of others and becoming very frustrated with my lack of success. I have learned some lessons along the way. Here are some tips, I hope you will find helpful:
1. Learn one thing at a time!

Interested in selling products on an online auction? Learn about that first! If you do not know where to start, go to the auction website. There are tutorials that are broken down into simple steps to help you. They want you to be successful. After all, if you make money, they make money!

2. Find something that interests you and sell it.

It's not a good idea to try and make money doing something that you hate. You won't be successful. If you are not a fan of movies, selling dvds is probably not a good idea.
3. Start a business that you can afford. Is money tight?

There are ways to start a business with very little money. Later you will be able to invest more. Need $50 for an e-book you have been dying to buy? I used to give up things that I didn't need like the impulse items at the store checkout line to save money to buy resources.
Read about the resources before you buy them. Look up the titles on the search engines and get some feedback. Also, a money-back guarantee is a huge plus! You cannot afford to waste money on information that is not helpful. Never ask someone for your money back for information that you have found to be well worth it. They may be a great contact or resource to help you make more money later! Besides, do unto others!
4. Set realistic goals that are well defined.

Keep it simple, especially if you are just starting out. For example, you could set a goal of seven days to sign up for an account on an online auction site and find three things in your own home to sell just to learn how the process works. For a long time, I had so many broad, complicated goals that I could not reach them. I may as well have had no goals at all.
5. Have a positive mindset!

If you think you are going to fail, most likely you will. Avoid listening to others who tell you that you can't do it. Talk with others about your business who are positive. Believe me, it really helps! One day I made the statement to a co-worker that I was going to make a living online one day. She told me that she knew I would too because I wanted it so much. Her reassurance helped to motivate me even more. A positive attitude can be very contagious!
6. It is not easy!

If you are looking to get rich quick, good luck! You will read about people who have made a lot of money quickly online, but not without effort. Yes, there are some who, if they went bankrupt today, could be fairly wealthy soon. However, most of these people are experienced online entrepreneurs. What I have found is that if you enjoy what you are doing, it will become easier.
7. Take action!

One of the biggest mistakes that I made was doing so much research, that is all I was doing. The funny thing is, most of the information I read told me to take action but I didn't listen. I had a million reasons why I couldn't just go ahead and start making money online. I didn't know enough yet or I had not saved enough money. I learned the most by actually doing what I had only been dreaming about before.
By following these tips, I know you will find success online even if you just want to earn some extra money. If you make some mistakes, and you probably will, learn from them and use it as a tool to become more successful.

Determination to Succeed

To start off, let me share with you my personal experience – making money on the Internet is not easy, especially when you are new to it. There are lots of things that need to be done before diving into the world of making money on the Internet – such as doing lots of research and reading up to make sure I know the complete picture about making money on the Internet, planning on strategies I want to take to make money on the Internet, putting my plans into actions, review the results and change my strategy, if not successful. All these take time, and I mean lots of time, and not forgetting determination and self-discipline.
I am not trying to scare you off with that. Let me tell you something – attaining success is NEVER easy. Ask the entrepreneurs, ask people who are successful. They will definitely tell you that they have put in a lot of hard work before they managed to smell success.

I am sure you do encounter problems in life – either in school, at work, between friends and family members, etc.

Let me ask you a question - what do you do when you encounter problems in life ? Do you sit down and just whine and complaint or do you think of how to solve the problem ?

For me, I will sit down and review the whole situation and find out exactly what went wrong. I will then think of possible solutions I can take to solve the problems. Not only that, I will also talk to friends and people I’m comfortable with to seek their opinions, as two brains are always better than one. How about you ?

Always remember this - One should NEVER give up when encountered problems. If you give up at the slightest obstacle, you will NEVER succeed. Trust me. You never will. The reason is because in order to succeed, you need to get past numerous obstacles.

The same goes for doing an online Internet business. You will definitely meet obstacles in some stage. Do not give up. Keep trying and you’ll definitely succeed.

Determination to succeed

Before we start off on our money making journey, picture yourself at the start of a highway.

You are now going to travel from one end of the highway to the other.

Picture the other end of the highway (the destination) in your mind. Now, ask yourself this question - “What is my goal ?” For me, I want to understand and model how millionaires think and act, and also try to unveil as many money-making opportunities on the Internet as possible, and share with all of you (through this blog), as well as making as much money as possible on the Internet.

That is my aim, and so here I am, blogging about my adventures and sharing with you whatever I have on online Internet marketing.

To achieve my aim, I have to constantly enrich myself by reading books as well as resources on the Internet, digest and translate them into lay-man terms so that it is understandable for everyone.

You may be asking me this – “This blog is supposed to be on ways to get rich. So far you have not posted anything on how exactly can we make money on the Internet.”

Yes, I have yet to post anything on how to make money on the Internet for a simple reason – because I want to get all of you in the right frame of mind first. Only with a correct attitude and a right frame of mind, we will be able to move in the correct direction and make all the correct decisions. I always believe in the saying “Attitude determines Altitude”.

The going will be tough, but always tell yourself this – “I WILL DEFINITELY SUCCEEED.” Keep going. DO NOT GIVE UP.

Let me give you an example. Let’s say you have participated in a 5 km race. The race has just started. You feel energetic, bursting with energy and full of zest, and you managed to overtake lots of runners. However, half-way through the race, when your energy start to run out, you’ll feel mentally and physically tired and have a strong urge to stop. At that point in time, do you feel like stopping ? Many of us would.

Whether you’ll be able to finish the race will depend on what you tell you brain.

If you keep telling yourself “I’m going to die if I don’t stop.”, “I’m never going to make it to the finishing point”, “I am so tired. I feel like quitting”, I can tell you that you’ll never be able to finish the race. You’ll eventually give up.

However, if you tell yourself “I will definitely reach the ending point !”, “I can do it !”, “I am NOT going to give up !”, you will be able to find the energy within you to continue running and finish the race.

What I’m trying to tell you is this – whether we succeed or not, it is all in our mindset. If we program our mind telling it to continue moving towards our goal despite of setbacks or obstacles, we WILL definitely succeed.

I would like to recommend some self-improvement books which helped me a lot in improving myself personally :
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey- 360 Degree Leader by John C Maxwell

Hope you’ll find them useful too.

You Can Earn $100 A Week Without Spending A Dime By Casey Yew

Making money with articles is not as hard as it seems. When you are trying to make money with articles, you don’t really need previous career related experience. You can learn everything you need to know from the Internet. You can learn new skills along the way to make your living online. You can become an expert in one area by picking up new skills gradually.

When you are writing articles, you have to keep your readers in mind. A lot of the readers scan through article rather than reading it. So your article should consist of a good title, plenty of subtitles and bullet points. A good title should draw readers’ attention quickly and bullet points will make them easy to find the information they are looking for. Make money with article is easy.

1. What to Sell: You have to decide what product you want to promote and make money. You can sign up for clickbank.com or CommissionJunction.com as an affiliate. Here you can find a lot of good products to sell. You can choose something you know a bit about or something you like but please make sure it is a top product in its category.

2. Research Keywords: Next, you need to know how to choose keywords that can help you get a good amount of traffic, without being too competitive to get on the first or second page. Keyword Suggestion Tool is a handy little tool that will help you to determine which phrases are searched most often on both Wordtracker and Overture.

3. Write An Article: Then you can write an article about the subject of the product you chose. You should carefully calculate the keyword density for SEO purposes. At the end of each article, don’t forget to include a resource box with your affiliate link that you are promoting.

4. Submit the Article: Submit that article to every free article directory you can find. You may want to modify the resource box, title or some words in one of the paragraph slightly with each submission. It’s fairly easy and everyone should do it. Best of all, it doesn’t cost you a cent. Repeat these steps until you are earning more than $100 a week. Once you start earning more than $100 a week, you can spend some of your earnings hiring freelance writers to write for you.

These freelance writers will ghost write articles for you and you own the copyrights of these articles. You can also invest some money on article submission software or getting an article submission service. Ghostwriting and submission service allow you to spend more time working on other aspects of your online business and make more money.

Difference Between Linear Income And Residual Income By Calvin Woon

Have you ever wondered how the rich manage to acquire so much wealth? The secret of the wealthy is not that they have more money but that they have more time freedom. Because many of their streams are focused on building a residual income, they have more time to spend on anything they want.



So what’s all this comparison between linear and residual income? Income that is paid once for every hour you work is linear. Hence, income from a salary is linear. You only get paid once for your effort.
However, with residual income, you work hard once and it unleashes a steady flow of income for months and even years. You get paid over and over again for the same effort. You get paid while you’re sleeping, while you’re watching a movie, 24 hours a day.



Now doesn’t that idea sound nice to you?



So what are the various forms of residual streams of income?



Here’s a list of the many types of residual income you might want to explore:



1. Savers earn interest



2. Songwriters earn royalties on their songs



3. Authors earn royalties from their books.



4. Insurance agents get recurring commissions from their sales



5. Investors get dividends and interest from their stock.



6. Game designers and software creators get royalties.



7. Entrepreneurs get business profits.



A residual income is the recurring payment which is received at intervals. Residual income (also called passive income) is normally a recurring income which continues to be paid to you as time progresses for all your efforts that you have taken long before.



There are tons of other forms of residual income that you can tap in. Question is: ‘How many of them do you already possess?”



If not, how much effort are you willing to put the effort to achieve them? Now personally, I feel that the Internet provides numerous opportunities for us to create for ourselves residual income streams.



There are a number of methods for generating residual income on the Internet. Some among them are creating a product and selling it over and over using an automated system, forming copyright materials, revenue creating assets, and network marketing. A residual income allows a person to get away from the worries of spending 8 hours a day in the office. It also provides financial stability.



Hence, one should always seek to create residual streams of income for oneself in order to attain the financial freedom that everyone so desire. And the Internet is one platform which provides many residual income opportunities

7 Ways To Make Money With Articles

If you write and submit articles on the Internet, you need to make sure you are getting the most money out of each article. Here are the 7 different ways to make money with articles:

1. Promote Your Website
Add your author bio at the end of each article with a short ad for your products or services and a link to your website. People who like your article and click on your link will be more ready to buy from you than a cold prospect.

2. Promote Affiliate Products
You can promote affiliate products in your author bio, and make commissions on all the sales you refer. Just register a domain name (so your link at the end of the article looks professional), and redirect it to your affiliate link.

3. Content Sites With Adsense
Use your articles to build content websites packed with useful information. Content websites are likely to get lots of free traffic from search engines. Place the Google Adsense advertisements on your pages, and get paid for each click.

4. Blogs
Start publishing a blog. Search engines love blogs because they are regularly updated with fresh content. Blogs tend to get a lot of traffic from search engines. Break-up your articles into smaller chunks and turn them into blog entries.

5. Mailing List
Collect your website visitors names and e-mail addresses – ask them to sign up for your newsletter. Regularly e-mail your articles to your newsletter subscribers, along with promotions for your website.

6. Information Products
When you accumulate enough articles, compile them into an e-book. Turn your articles into book chapters. Change a few things here and there, and you will have a new information product to sell.

7. Viral E-Books
Instead of selling the e-book that you made from your articles, you can also use a viral marketing approach. Add promotional copy to your e-book along with links to your website and affiliate links, and give it away. It will spread around the Internet like a virus, advertising your products and services and putting more money in your pocket.

Making Money While You Sleep! By Chinedum Azuh


The key is to be spending your time working on things that will eventually create residual income for you. If this isn’t how you are spending some of your time now, then it’s time to shout…TODAY!Having residual income means that you get paid while you sleep. While you work, while you play. While you eat, it never stops. An endless stream of cash flow.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK FOR YOU

Let’s suppose you take one Naira and put into a special account that will let the Naira grow, untouched by taxes and fees. How long will it take for this ONE SINGLE NAIRA BILL TO grow into a MILLION NAIRA? That depends on the interest rate the bank account pays.At 10% interest it will take only 56 years. Wonderful. Not bad. One Naira a day can grow and become a million Naira in only 56 years. Let that sink in for a minute. Let’s look at another example; if you put ten measly Naira a day away every single day and put it in the right mutual funds or stock and let the clock tick at 20%, you are a millionaire in just 20 years! When you multiply this process, you become a lifetime BILLIONAIRE.What makes a few Naira a day grows into such huge amount of money? It’s the power of compound interest. Einstein himself, said, “The most powerful invention of man is compound interest”. Compound interest works for you while you sleep. It is a magic money magnifier.

LET YOUR TALENTS WORK FOR YOU

Authors or musicians are always generating residual income. For any Book written or Album released they are entitled to royalties. These people are earning large sums of money from their talents. Mike Murdock, for instance has written over 115 books. Let us assume a sales figure of 100, 000 copies of each unit at two dollars royalty. This will give him a royalty of $200, 000 per book. Then multiply it by 115. The amount will be $23, 000,000 (twenty three million dollars). When you look at some musicians whose albums sell in millions world wide, for instance Michael Jackson, no one will tell you that they make millions of dollars in each album and the money continues forever. Suffice to say that in the U.S.A. today, scholarships are given in favor of music, athletic, football etc. as against physic, chemist etc. it is a situation where a nation is consciously developing the talent of his citizenry.

Begin now to make use of this secret. Let me also add something that is very important, if you think you don’t have a talent for writing, you can still write. Record your knowledge, or experience, or story in an audiotape and give to a professional to edit the work for you.

Sell Your Knowledge Turning Your Hobby Into Profits by Antonio Thornton

Everyone has a hobby of some kind - most people have several. There are people who collect stamps; people who make scrapbooks or create graphic designs with their digital photos; people who love horseback riding, hiking or bicycling.
Maybe you do something that you don't even know is considered a "hobby". Technically, anything that you engage in for fun that is outside of your occupational activities is considered a hobby- so chances are you have lots of hobbies.
Have you ever considered turning one of your hobbies into a business? You may be surprised at how virtually any hobby can be converted to profits, and without tremendous overhead or ridiculously high start up costs.
What's even better, you aren't required to have a specific product to sell! In fact, you can make your knowledge your product to sell. If you participate regularly in some sort of hobby, you are bound to know quite a bit about it. If you make scrapbooks of your family and friends, then you probably have extensive knowledge about where to get the best deals on your scrapbooking supplies, and how to create special effects on your photo album pages.
Maybe you have magazines and websites that you refer to all the time for inspiration. You have the personal knowledge of what it took to get started in the hobby. For example, scrapbooking requires that you have access to supplies like paper, stickers, glue, photo albums and scrapbooking tools.
Someone who has just learned about scrapbooking and thinks they want to start the hobby will need to figure out what they need to get started. You could offer this knowledge as your product to sell. Think people won't buy it? Think again.
If you've ever used a search engine to look up information, you know that it's time consuming to sort through all the data to find exactly what you're looking for. Often, you're given tons of information that doesn't seem all that reliable, and you have to determine what you can use and what you need to avoid.
When you make your personal knowledge of a hobby your product to sell- you're helping everyone who wants to find that information without spending hours searching for it. You do not need to have a physical product to sell in order to make a profit. In fact, having an inventory or having to create physical items from materials offers a lower profit margin than selling information.
Information products are among the top items to sell for a variety of reasons. They offer a low cost to get started, meaning you start earning a profit after just a couple sales. Informational products include eBooks, online courses or email courses, software, audio files, web sites- basically anything that can be downloaded from the internet.
You aren't required to have an inventory and you can set up your business model to allow you to earn money by the work other people do for you. So now, maybe you're thinking that this is all well and good- but you still don't have a product to sell! You haven't written an eBook, and maybe your writing skills leave little to be desired. Creating online or email courses are time consuming, and to create software you need special training. You can still sell your knowledge. Create a "package" of items that someone would need in order to get started in a particular hobby, and promote it as the "everything you need to know" about starting the hobby.
Contact someone who has written an informative eBook on the topic; find someone else who has made an online video or radio show regarding it, and request permission to sell the items in your package. If they have affiliate programs, you can probably sign up for the affiliate programs and earn commission that way. Include your list of great providers for supplies or information that you refer to regularly, and anything else you know a person needs in order to get started in the hobby. This is a product to sell: selling your knowledge.
Once you've earned money from this type of information product business, you can invest in the creation of your own products if you want, or start offering more informational products that allow you to sell your knowledge.

Get a Money Making Attitude

One of the keys to making money in your own internet work at home business is to get, and keep, a money making attitude.

You have to know you are going to succeed when you start. The Gurus make sure you believe it, but then they leave you hanging when they don't deliver what they promised you.

The initial failure with a get rich quick product is when the money making leaves most people. But for others, they continue the struggle down the road to internet money making success.
The money making attitude is what sets apart the ones who make it and the ones who don't. Do you have the right stuff?

Do you have what it takes to sit down at the computer and spend hundreds of hours putting together an adsense website?

Do you have what it takes to write a compelling article that sells a product to someone without them realizing you only wrote the article to make them buy it?

Do you have what it takes to create an information product from scratch and build a website around it?

All it really takes is the "I can do it, and I will do it" attitude. And you must be able to maintain a positive and productive mindset while you are putting out a lot of effort that will not pay off for weeks or months to come.

There is no harm in dreaming about the future success you will obtain, as long as it doesn't interfere with doing the work that will lead to it.

Darell's new site is a breath of fresh air in the internet marketing arena, focusing on getting the work done and setting realistic expectations. Visit it at http://www.moneymakingmonkey.com

A Powerful Way To Increase Residual Income By Deon Du Plessis

Residual income is in the domain of the rich. While most people earn money proportional to the hours they spent working, the rich earn their money on a completely different way. Residual income is income that effectively generates itself and by doing the work once, you keep earning money for it over and over again. Imagine you can go to the office for a week and keep earning money for that working week for the rest of your life. To really improve your financial situation significantly you must seek out ways to increase residual income and change the way you look at earning money. After all, you don’t want to work so much that you can’t enjoy the money that you do earn.

The concept of residual income is alien to most people, especially for ‘nine to fivers’ who only know how to earn linier income where they work ‘x’ amount of hours and then get rewarded for it accordingly. The rich, however, earn residual income and they do not spend their time and effort working for money. They spent their time and effort building systems which in turn will do the WORK FOR THEM long after they completed the initial work setting up the system. The best part is that it will keep earning them money for a lifetime and beyond. Residual income is about working smarter and not working harder. It’s a completely different way of approaching and looking at wealth and earning money.

When you increase residual income, you increase your freedom and independence. When your residual income exceeds your expenses, you are financially free - meaning that regardless of whether you work or not, you will be able to maintain your lifestyle. The very fact of knowing that regardless of whether you work or not you will have no money concerns is indeed very liberating. Money is the one thing that can really drain people emotionally and if you ever though money is not important, then try not having any – it can consume al your thoughts.

Earning residual income sounds great and being financially free is indeed a great concept, but this begs the question of how you increase residual income in your life. There are many ways, but the important point is to start a.s.a.p. Earning residual income is about getting hooked on purpose. Once you get a taste of how great it is, it will compel you and encourage you to keep working on ways to increase residual income until you are financially free.

The most popular way to increase residual income is through real estate. If you buy a property and rent it out you can keep getting residual rental income without actually having to do anything. Similarly you can invest large amounts of money and earn residual income with the returns on your investment. Unfortunately, both these methods require significant amounts of cash and most people starting out on their journey to financial freedom simply do not have this.
Another great way to increase residual income in your life is to write a book, a song, a play or the script for the next Oscar winning movie. When you sell the rights to a publisher or producer, you will earn royalties month after month for the rest of your life. This is a very real and very powerful way to increase residual income and one that you can easily explore. It is not easy though. It requires a lot of time and a lot of talent and persistence.

There is however an alternative solution for the ordinary person looking for a no-fuss way to increase residual income. The answer lies online and I believe this is the golden highway for those who are committed to financial independence in the 21st century. It’s true that making money online has become a bit of an over-hyped idea, but it really does offer virtually anybody the opportunity to earn residual income – and lots of it. With or without a business you can turn to the internet to increase residual income through affiliate programs. If you already have a product or service, you can offer an affiliate program to leverage your own efforts and increase residual income. If you have no product or service you can take a piggyback ride on some of the most successful products and be rewarded for your efforts. You need virtually no money, very little time and only a basic knowledge to get started and gradually you can work yourself into a position of total financial freedom.

The internet is the ideal place to set up systems where you do the work once and it keeps working for you. It’s become so easy to automate virtually anything that you can set up certain systems in as little as half an hour. These very systems can continue to earn you hundreds of dollars each and every month - and all it took was half an hour’s work!
It really is true that in life we all ‘can’ – they real issue is whether we ‘will’. The answers are all out there and today they are more freely available than ever before. Regardless of how you choose to make your living and spend your time, when you increase residual income, you increase your lifestyle for life. It’s up to you. You can either work harder or you can choose to work smarter.
