Focus and Fear of Success - The Biggest Monkey on Your Back?

2008-04-12T02:11:00.001-07:00

If you have been on the internet for awhile, you know that there are millions of people trying anything and everything to get your attention. They want in your wallet. It's a great big money grab out there folks, and the net has become the biggest marketing arena on the planet, driving whole industries and generating Billions of dollars in sales. So what's the problem? Well, none if you are one of the small businesses with focus. A whole lot of problems if you lack focus. There are myriad small business opportunities on the net today. And if you do your research and find something you want to associate with, or you create a product for a well-researched target market, you are well on your way to financial success. Or are you? You see the more you become active on the net as either someone looking for the right opportunity, or as someone who has found the right opportunity already, the more you are bombarded with choices. Everyday you get emails saying that the next best thing since sliced bread has come along. The new "thing" demands your attention and you get nervous that you might be missing out on another opportunity for financial success. But don't you already have one? At least, haven't you been presented with several great opportunities in the last week? So why on earth take a serious look at yet another? Why fragment the time you need to spend on your current business with all the marketing it takes to get yet another off the ground and profitable? What I am talking about here is something I call "Sign-up-Itis." (Not to be confused with Sinusitis, which can be just as debilitating.) It goes like this: You find your focus, you are fired up. All is good and you are ready to start working on the hundreds of little things you need to do to get traffic and make sales. You need to get good search engine positioning, you need a links campaign, you have to research ezines in your niche and place ads, you need to set up joint ventures, you need to create and update content on your site, set up a merchant account, a delivery system, and the list goes on from there. Then you get an email from a friend or associate telling you that you HAVE to check out the latest and greatest. You do. It's an awesome opportunity. You look at your plate and it's already full with your current project, but the plate has a lot of things on it you really don't enjoy doing. It's a lot of work to make any business pay off, as you can see from the short list above. "It's Much More Fun To Think About Success Than It Is To Do The Work It Takes To Achieve It" But this NEW thing is exciting, fresh, new. It draws you in and it's MUCH more fun to think about success than it is to do the work it takes to achieve it, so you buy in. You get a ton of tools to start this new venture. It's all overwhelming, especially since you have gone back to your first venture and realized you now have TWO great things that can both make you money, but they BOTH need your attention on a grand scale in order to see profit. Now, here is the part where most people give up. They say to themselves "Internet marketing is nothing more than a series of steps that I cannot complete. I am always excited when I get started on something, but when it comes down to DOING what I start, it gets hard and doesn't happen as fast as I would like it to." Let me make one thing clear right now: It is not the net's fault for not providing us with real opportunity. Opportunity abounds and is right there for us to snatch up and achieve success. Never let yourself fall into the trap of reasoning your way out of success. "It's not for me." "I can't do this - it's for people much better with computers and internet marketing than me." The problem lies with your focus and your fear of success. You must CHOOSE the opportunity you are passionate about, or create a product you stand behind and love, and then hunker down for the long-haul! Make yourself do everything you are taught to do to build your business and build it - all the way or not at all. It should be no surprise the next time you get an email with the next best thing inside. You should say to yourself "That's great! Another opportunity for someone has just been born! But I am busy with MY business and cannot take on another venture at this time." We Do It On Purpose Lack of focus is sometimes a purposeful self-defeating tactic your subconscious uses to keep you from success. Success is NOT a destination. It's a journey. And that journey scares the hell out of 99% of normal, everyday people. So be it. It IS scary to think of radical life changes, even if they are for what you consider to be far better than your current situation! But don't let a lack of focus and your fear of success tear you away from your dreams. USE your fear and confront it, right now. Today. Make hard decisions and stick to them, then begin the process of working on a focused, tight marketing campaign to make whatever venture you choose the venture that sets you free. Wear electronic blinders. Keep lean and mean and only take on new responsibilities that will be good for your CURRENT business. Throw the rest in the trash. We all know there are tons of opportunities out there. That is a fact. It's time now to get the stars out of your eyes, choose your niche, your product, your affiliate program or your MLM, and get to work. Make a vow not to stop until you are where you want to be financially. The question is not "Can you really make money online?" This has been proven time and again over the years by thousands of people,many of whom you read about all the time. The question is "Do you really want to be one of those people, or are you stuck in a cycle of constantly sabotaging your success with a lack of focus?" The cure for Sign-up-itis is focus and hard work. Success is something you decide to achieve one day. It's that decision that is often the biggest hurdle any future success story has to conquer

Formula To Achieve Success Online.

2008-03-10T01:51:00.000-07:00

I’m writing this article because I thought you might want to know my formula for success for my online business. This sounds very simple and yet, it might change your whole mindset. It applies when you are building your own online business. Throughout my journey to achieve success, I’ve encountered many people who struggled to achieve success online. Most of them ask me questions like, ‘how to achieve success’. Or questions like, ‘how to make more money from the internet’. What’s the formula to achieve online success? Ok, read on and I’ll reveal it. The formula is simple. When you are working, you must have in mind that ultimately what you want to achieve from your online business is this: Work less, earn more. But first, you must understand this formula in order to achieve that. Here’s the formula: Assuming you are working 8 hours a day, and you are getting X result (X can be any amount of money you are getting now.) Where most people failed to achieve success is, they try to earn X + Y (Y can be any amount of extra money you want to get) without finding a way to work less first. In another words, finding a way to work less while still getting X result. In order for you to get Y result, you should find ways to work less than 8 hours first and still be getting X result. Let’s say 6 hours. Once you able to achieve that, only then can you consider how to find ways to get Y result. In a nutshell, First step: Work 8 hours (or whatever your existing working hours are) and get X result. Second step: Find ways to work 6 hours and still get X result. Third step: Work 8 hours again but get X + Y results. Once you achieve this, your next step is to find ways on how to achieve X + Y results by working only 6 hours instead of 8 hours. Once you find that, only than you can think about getting Z result (Z can be any amount of extra money you want to have). So, repeat the whole process: First step: Work 8 hours get X + Y results. Second step: Find ways to work 6 hours and still get X + Y results. Third step: Work 8 hours again but get X + Y + Z results. Keep on repeating this process until you get the maximum results you can get (this can be A+B+C+X+Y+Z). At some stage, you’ll probably reach the optimum of getting the results and you can hardly earn more by working 8 hours a day. Once you achieve this, congratulations. Now, what you need to do is to find ways to WORK LESS but still get the same results. So at the end, you’ll be able to WORK LESS And EARN MORE. People fail to achieve online success because they don’t know or understand this simple formula and practice it! This formula stressed managing your fundamentals before engaging yourself to earn more. People failed to achieve more results because they try to earn more without learning how to maintain and work less first. So, they’ll end up working more hours each day. That’s why, you can see many people becoming more stressed when their business increases. I’ve been practicing this formula. Each day when I work, I’ll look into my existing business and find ways to reduce the work. Once I got that, only then I’ll think on how to make more money. So, each month, I’m making more money but working less or putting the same amount of time invested. This is how you can achieve success without getting more stress in life. What you should be doing now is go look at your job or business and apply this formula if you want to achieve success in the long term.

A Successful Affiliate Program

2008-03-05T06:27:00.000-08:00

Two Christmases ago I tugged on one of those paper crackers and after a small bang, out opped a piece of yellow paper the size of a credit card.
On one side was a riddle that didn't make much sense, but on the other side was an 'Inspirational Quote' that made a lot of sense.
So much so, that I still have it in my wallet.
This is what it said: "The shortest and best way to make your fortune is to let people see clearly that it is in their interests to promote yours".
I'm constantly amazed to see affiliate programs that offer 20%, or even as little as 15%, to their affiliates.
It is generally accepted that the production of any information product is only 10 percent of the whole process.
What's the other 90 per cent? Marketing!
My own affiliate program gives 50% commissions, and I wouldn't dream of offering less. After all, who makes the sale - me or the affiliate?
It may be disappointing to see 50% of your sale price going to your affiliates. But it's worth remembering this: without your affiliate, that sale simply wouldn't have occurred.
Of course, there are many other factors involved in building a successful affiliate program, but this is the first and most important: make your affiliates your equal partners, because they'll be doing 90% of the work.

Groups Lend Capability to Make Money on the Internet

2008-02-27T20:28:00.001-08:00

William Shakespeare once wrote; "The world is a stage on which everyone is a player" ... and in Network Marketing, each player must play his/her part.

To make money on the internet, working from home, you need to find the players that play their parts.

Making money online is much easier when everyone is part of the performance...

Groups play a large part in forming such an association. A Yahoo group is easy to form and allows communication to flow freely amongst the members. Keeping everyone informed of latest developments and ideas, is easily done through groups.

To truely realise the "make money at home" principle, you have to communicate and allow people to interact with each other. Team players are known to be more likely to make money online, than their individual opposites. Many minds are greater than one.

Groups are a think tank of ideas that can transform an individuals personal performance by injecting new ideas and methods into their flagging marketing strategies. To make money online, you sometimes need the sort of push that a Group can give you.

While some groups live a short life, many have been around for over 6 years or more and still give that sort of unconditional support that a new person needs, to make money on the internet. Failure rates are lower when a group is active and being led by motivational methods. The Group structure produces loyalty and belief to many people.

Anyone who is serious about learning how to make money online, should ask if there is a support group available within the business and then check it out, to see how active the group is, by looking at the mailing figures. Most groups record the number of posts made in any particular month. 78 or more would indicate some moderate activity.

Belonging to a number of groups is also a great way of relationship marketing. Joining groups that are aligned to your own personal interests, often foster a great number of business associates. Those are the sort people who are most likely to play their part.

Always remember that to make money on the internet, you have to socialise and be online on a consistent basis. Plugging people into an online group will also help you in your quest to make money online.

Internet Marketing Tips to Get Web Site Traffic & Keep Them Coming Back

2007-11-21T08:02:00.000-08:00

Are you wondering how you can drive more traffic to your website without investing a small fortune in SEO or marketing consultation firms? While at some point, it is wise to invest in some professional services; there are a couple of things you can do on your own to drive customers to your site that are relatively inexpensive if not downright free.

Internet Marketing Tip 1: The Internet is called the ‘information superhighway’ for a reason. The average web surfer is looking for information, not a product to purchase. They may be persuaded to stop and buy something along the way, but for the most part they simply want answers to their questions and they want it fast. In today’s ‘want it now’ society, your target audience doesn’t read web pages, they scan them. With so much information available an experienced web surfer knows they must scan a page, look for relevant information and move on if they don’t see what they need. Providing interesting web content may be enough to lure a customer to your site, but it might not be enough to convince them to stay; especially if it isn’t placed in an interesting and highly visible layout. Use short paragraphs that are easy and quick to read. Utilize bold print to highlight the most important information.

Internet Marketing Tip 2: Consider offering a free service that is beneficial to the consumer. Offer free update services, a newsletter or an e-zine. If you’re worried that this may be too time consuming, put your fears aside. You can obtain free services that will notify you when someone has signed up for your newsletter and through the use of a distribution list on your e-mail you can easily handle circulation for your newsletter or e-zine. Keep in mind, however; when you are putting together your newsletter or e-zine that the only reason a consumer has for signing up and continuing to subscribe to your publication is for worthy information. Don’t allow your publication to become a forum for advertising. Provide information that is of real benefit to the reader and that convinces them to re-visit your site. In order to really make a quality publication make sure you include a privacy statement and provide a link in the publication for the customer to unsubscribe at any time if they wish.

Driving traffic to your website doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive; it simply requires a little creativity. Try implementing an Internet marketing tip mentioned above. There’s no reason to lag behind in the race for customers when you have the power to drive customers to your site within reach.

The Work From Home Internet Business Is booming On The Net

2007-11-21T07:58:00.000-08:00

The work from home revolution on the Internet is in full swing. There has never been a better time or opportunity to make money online working at home in front of your computer. The number of money making opportunities is endless.

With today’s technology it is quite possible to run your entire business online from anywhere in the world using your laptop computer. You no longer need to leave your house to make a living for your family. It can be done from the comfort of your own home. No commute required. No travel time with reduced fuel consumption and maintenance on your vehicles. Best of all you are your own boss.

The amount of people using the internet worldwide continues to increase almost monthly. This bodes well for internet business entrepreneurs and anyone wishing to take advantage of the internet work from home business industry. Global Internet Statistics shows over 800 million people worldwide are now using the internet.

Just do a search for internet business opportunities on Google or your favorite search engine. You’ll find websites such as http://www.kawarthapublishing.com & http://www.bigmoolla.com promoting several top Internet home based business products and services from paid surveys online to network marketing and MLM businesses. If you already have your own website you can even sign up with Google ad sense and make money displaying Google ad words ads on your site. In fact everywhere you look on the net almost every single site you go to is making money from some form of advertising or work from home business opportunity.

The internet is forever changing the global job scene and the world economy with new internet opportunities arriving on the internet every day even as you read this. We can only hope that this will make the world cleaner and a better place to live with less pollution from automobiles and reduced pollution from factories. This in turn could create a backlash on the economy but it has yet to be seen. We all know the reasons behind why we are still using oil and gas rather than clean energy. (It would kill the global economy). Internet business could be just as threatening as electric cars and cars running on fuel cells.

We are indeed in a revolution. The last revolution was called the industrial revolution. This one is called the information revolution. Or what I like to think of it, the work from home revolution.

Top Five Ways to Earn Extra Money Online at Home for Free

2007-11-21T07:41:00.000-08:00

Here's a fact: everybody wants to earn extra money. We all have bills to pay, families to feed, and the list goes on and on...

Discover several legitimate ways to earn extra money online for free using your computer at home.

You probably wonder how much extra income you can make? Well, it depends on how much time and energy you are going to put in.

Here are five legitimate online opportunities for everybody to earn extra cash fast:

1. Get paid to read email

This is probably one of the oldest online income opportunity. In order to get started all you need is your own e-mail address. If you have an Internet access at home, you probably already have an e-mail address too? Otherwise, you can open your own email account and receive your personal e-mail address for free at:

http://www.yahoo.com or http://www.hotmail.com/

Actually, be prepared to use your e-mail address with any of the extra income opportunities that I have listed in this article.

How 'get paid to read email' programs work? Simply, online advertisers pay commissions to the paid email companies for sending their advertisements via e-mail to members who want to get paid for reading emails. When you receive a paid e- mail, in order to receive your cash you should click on the link and visit an advertiser's web site.

How much you can earn? Not much. The paid email companies pay from $0.01 up to $1.00 per e-mail that you read. Usually the more they pay, the higher is their payout minimum. It means that you can request your payment only after you have earned a certain amount of money.

It really wouldn't be worth your time if paid e-mail companies didn't have referral or affiliate programs. As an affiliate you can refer new members to their programs and get paid a percentage of what your referrals earn.

Note that if you want to make serious money you'll need to recruit at least several hundred referrals. Not to worry though - there are some free ways to accomplish that, as you will soon discover. Besides, visitor to sign up conversion ratios are very high, since get paid to read programs are totally free to join!

It is very important to select only legitimate paid email companies. Here's a short list of proven 'get paid to read e-mail' companies:

http://adbux.org/?r=arubh

http://www.advercash.net/signup.php?ref=arubh1269

http://www.titanclicks.com/signup.php?ref=arubh

http://www.clixncash.com/index.php?ref=arubh

http://www.BigKahunaClicks.com/index.php?ref=arubh

http://www.vegas-clicks.com/index.php?ref=arubh

http://www.clickbux.org/pages/index.php?refid=arubh

http://clix4coins.com/index1.php?ref=arubh

2. Get paid to take surveys When you join paid survey programs, online merchants pay you for your opinions on their products and services. The problem is that in order to access top paid survey companies you have to pay an access fee. Here are some top-notch web sites that offer huge databases of paid survey programs:

i) Survey Scout - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/sscout
ii) Paid For Free - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/paid4free
iii) Survey Platinum - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/surveyp

3. Get paid to complete offers At the moment, this is one of the most lucrative ways to earn extra money online working from home. Again, online merchants pay commissions to visitors... but not for opinions, not for their ads delivered via e-mail, but for trying their products and services. The offers include credit card applications, ISP services, membership clubs, free trials and samples, etc.

You can earn up to $70 extra money just for a single offer completed. Usually, the more extra cash you earn per offer, the more you have to pay per S&H or trial membership. However, if you really need a product or service that is offered, this is a great opportunity to accept it on the Internet, simply using your computer at home. Plus, you get paid extra cash for accepting terrific deals!

Top get paid for offers programs:
i) Cash4Offers - http://www.cash4offers.com/
ii) WowEarnings - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/wowearn
iii) CashFiesta - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/cashf
iv) SearchCactus - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/scactus
v) InboxDollars - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/idollars

4. Get paid to shop online This way to earn extra money is very similar to paid offers opportunity. You get paid a certain percentage of what you spend at online stores.

Cash4Offers and WowEarnings have super get paid to shop online stores. So, if you like to shop online, why not get paid for doing it?

5. Get paid for marketing affiliate programs.

As I mentioned earlier, you cannot earn a lot cash unless you join affiliate programs of these 'get paid to' companies, and earn commissions from your referrals.

If you don't want to get involved in the affiliate marketing, the only option is to join a get paid to complete offers company and earn several hundred dollars by completing offers that interest you.
However, if you are serious about making extra income online from the comfort of your home, you should join 'get paid to' (or other) affiliate programs and promote them on the Internet.

Ideally, you should create your own web site. Here are some useful resources from top online affiliate marketers that will help you to get started:

i) Corey Ruld - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/crcourse
ii) James Martell - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/jm
iii) Ken Evoy - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/sbires

Of course, you can succeed as an affiliate even without your own web site. The best free way to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate programs is by writting your own articles and submitting them to major article directories:
* http://www.goarticles.com/
* http://www.articlecity.com/
* http://www.article-emporium.com/
* http://www.ezinearticles.com/
* http://groups.yahoo.com/group/article_announce

If you think that you cannot write, check out Jim Edwards' "Turn Words Into Traffic" letter. I hope that he will convince you that you can:

http://www.cash4offers.com/r/jearticles

When joining a 'get paid to' affiliate program look what affiliate marketing tools & resources the company gives you. The only 'get paid to' affiliate program that offers two-tier affiliate commissions, ready-to-use articles, free reports that you can give away to your web site visitors, affiliate e-course and much more, is Cash4Offers.

As you can see, some 'get paid to' companies offer you several ways to earn extra money in one place. For example, WowEarnings gives you an all-in-one-place extra income opportunity to get paid to read e-mails, complete offers, shop and refer your friends.

But if you want to make the most extra income working from home in your spare time, you should get involved with affiliate marketing, and start with the Cash4Offers affiliate program.
