I thought it contained three excellent tips for building a home internet business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#006600;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3 Idiot Proof Home Business Success Tips&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting a home business and turning it into a long-term profitable business venture is the dream of millions of people. Many pursue that dream and succeed; others fail and give up, but most never even try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember you can&#39;t build a successful home business if you never even try and you certainly aren&#39;t going to get far if you can&#39;t get up from your failures. You are in control of your own destiny. You have the freedom to choose success, failure, or just keep cruising through life on your safe wagon never going up or down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below I have given you three idiot proof home business success tips. They are the basis for creating any long-term profitable business. If you follow and stick with them, you won&#39;t fail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Idiot Proof Tip #1 - Promote high converting products with large profit margins.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s very hard to make a living if you are only selling products that make you a few dollars profit per sale. If you want to build a profitable home business you should be promoting products that make you at least $25.00 profit per sale. Remember, that this is what you need to make in profit so you must factor in your expenses and make at least that much extra per sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;Idiot Proof Tip #2 - Take the time to create high converting marketing material.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can have the best home business in the world but if your sales material does not bring in any visitors and then convert them into paying customers, you will not make money. Marketing is the life of your home business so this is very important!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your advertisements, salesletters, promotional emails, affiliate marketing material, articles, etc... All need to work for you and bring in results. If you are not good at writing good sales copy then hire someone to do it for you or take the time to learn how to do it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;Idiot Proof Tip #3 - Automate your home business as much as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to actually have any time to enjoy yourself then you will need to automate your home business as much as possible. Not to mention the fact that this will help tremendously in increasing your profits and free up time for other business tasks that actually help you to make money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Autoresponders, outsourcing, and PLR are three great ways to save you a ton of time and increase your income potential. By automating your business and using pre-existing resources available, you can concentrate on the part of your home business you really enjoy... Making Money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow these three home business tips like your life depends on it and you will have a successful home business. But before you can even begin to follow these tips you first have to take action and get starting on making your dreams come true. Stop sitting there waiting for the right time because that time is now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.diegonorte.com/&quot;&gt;Diego Norte&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://retirementjobs.blogspot.com/2008/11/early-retirement-business-3-home.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BillM)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9066366724326841571.post-3632059748627612400</guid><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 20:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-07T17:25:21.326-04:00</atom:updated><title></title><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Starting an Internet Business After You Retire&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting an internet retirement business after you retire is not what most people consider retirement and they may be right. But the reality is additional income is becoming important to more retirees. The key is to find something that is not getting another job which is demanding physically and requires a rigid work schedule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently read an excellent US News &amp;amp; World Report article named Keys to Starting a Business in Retirement. In the article Matthew Bandyk highlights five keys to consider when thinking about a retirement business. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usnews.com/articles/business/small-business-entrepreneurs/2008/05/23/keys-to-starting-a-business-in-retirement.html&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here to read the article.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the article talks about starting any retirement business after you retire I think there is a big difference between starting a brick and mortar business and building your own internet retirement business which can be run from home or any place you may traveling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There a lot of other advantages to owning and operating your own internet business which are beyond the scope of the post but if you would like to learn more about how to go about starting your own retirement business go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Your Own Internet Retirement Business&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;to learn more. The information is comprehensive and informative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think about starting your own internet business after retirement? Your comments on this blog will be informative and helpful to me and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your success.</description><link>http://retirementjobs.blogspot.com/2008/05/starting-internet-business-after-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BillM)</author><thr:total>6</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9066366724326841571.post-2633524622720860473</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 Feb 2008 15:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-07T17:25:21.326-04:00</atom:updated><title>Retirement Planning</title><description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:0;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff6600;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Retirement Job vs. Internet Retirement Business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Planning on retiring soon?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Planning early retirement? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Retired and looking for a job?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;These are all different retirement scenarios facing many of us today. Most people will not consider (as a part of their retirement plan) an online retirement business as an alternative to working at a job.&lt;br /&gt;I would like to spend a few minutes looking at the differences between having a job and operating an internet business during retirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let’s look at 5 reasons for taking a retirement job&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Immediate income and a steady paycheck&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No cash investment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No worries about issues or responsibilities related to the success of the business&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Benefits provided by the company&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Part time hours (the rest of your time is yours) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let’s look at 5 reasons for building your own internet retirement business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Expand your lifestyle instead of downsizing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Give you an additional income of $100, $500, $2000 dollars a month or maybe even a day&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Let you earn while you sleep&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be your own boss&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Not have to go to a job&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reasons above are by no means all the reasons for taking a retirement job vs. planning and build your own internet retirement job but it will give you a good contrast while planning your retirement. In the next post I will compare the 5 reasons for not working for someone else vs. not starting your own online retirement business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time, visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/&quot;&gt;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/&lt;/a&gt; for more information about starting an internet retirement business.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://retirementjobs.blogspot.com/2008/02/retirement-planning_09.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BillM)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9066366724326841571.post-2826981882258887339</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-07T17:25:21.326-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">internet business</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">retirement business</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">retirement job</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">retirement.retirement plan</category><title>Early Retirement -- Start Planning At 30</title><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#666666;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;Plan Your Retirement Early&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#666666;&quot;&gt;This message is for the young adults who have suddenly realized that they have to start thinking and planning for retirement (forced or otherwise). This realization usually comes about for most after they have settled into a lifestyle which includes a family, a career, and the realization that they have to have a plan beyond working at a job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some will get financial advice and begin to start saving using current financial products like Ira’s, 401k’s etc. This is what I call the traditional retirement planning method. Others will invest in stocks, options, bonds, etc. and run their own self directed accounts. But many will do nothing and spend all their income on day-day expenses saying “I’ll start saving next year.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#666666;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;Early Retirement Plan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#666666;&quot;&gt;Today I would like to propose a different approach to Retirement Planning. It is a two pronged approach which includes the following: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#666666;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Traditional – save 5-10% of your gross salary using IRA’s, 401k’s etc. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Invest in building an Internet business for retirement.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#6633ff;&quot;&gt;Traditional Approach&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The traditional approach is making sure you are putting away a fixed amount each paycheck, which is invested for your future. The higher percentage you save the better. You might be saying “But I need that money for day –day expenses”. In the beginning that may be true but change your lifestyle to find the money. Believe me it will be well worth it and after you have done it for a few months you won’t miss it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;Ok&lt;/span&gt;, let’s do a little dreaming. Supposing you followed the recommendation above and you religiously saved 10% of your income starting at aged 30. As the years went by your salary grew and your retirement investments continued to grow as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;Start An Internet Business&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You also started your own &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;internet&lt;/span&gt; business at the same time. You invested your time and money building your &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot;&gt;internet&lt;/span&gt; business while holding a full time job and raising a family. Was it hard? “You bet it was” But you rationalized it as continuing your education by going to school at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You struggled for 4-5 years but during that time you became proficient and in some areas you even became an expert in operating an online business. The business grew to the point where your salary was greater than the salary from your job. Is this a fantasy, no. Is it possible, absolutely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now think about the possibilities at this point. Here are just a few. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You could decide to work your business &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_3&quot;&gt;fulltime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You could continue to grow your business and increase your wealth &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_4&quot;&gt;wouldn&lt;/span&gt;’t have to worry about your retirement income because your business provides a continuous cash flow 24/7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your income is not dependent on a job that is dependent on someone else’s business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;There are many other possibilities; you just have to be open to them. New business opportunities on the &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_5&quot;&gt;internet&lt;/span&gt; are being identified every month and once you have the knowledge and expertise you will be in a position to take advantage of them because you invested in your future five years earlier.&lt;br /&gt;A word of caution, I have been talking about a successful &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_6&quot;&gt;internet&lt;/span&gt; retirement business. In order to be successful you need a comprehensive understanding of the business and it requires an investment in the business and in yourself. Find out more.

That person will invest in information and knowledge to build their personal and business skills especially if it will accelerate their business growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is very important point for those of us who were taught to work all our lives for someone else because being a Success Thinker requires a different mindset. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;Become An Internet Entrepreneur &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Become an internet sponge. Learning how to become a successful Internet Entrepreneur is not hard, it is just a lot of hard work but I think it is worth it. The internet has come a long way over the last few years. It use to require a strong technical knowledge but today you can setup your business faster because you can learn things like affiliate marketing techniques.&lt;br /&gt;That may require hard work, a good attitude and perseverance but I think it beats working for someone else.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Have A Five Year Retirement Plan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Being a successful internet entrepreneur requires a plan. Each person has different knowledge and skills when they decide to build their internet retirement business and to be successful you must have a plan to define your internet business, identify your strengths and weaknesses, define other resources and develop a five year plan to success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;Manage The Tensions In Your Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I read a blog recently which talked about &lt;strong&gt;structural tension. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The author defined structural tension as:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The gap between where you are right now and where you want to be and is responsible for generating creativity.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The caveat is:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As long as you don’t let negativity become the driver of your thoughts.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Make no mistake, attitude, belief and perseverance will all be required to keep the creative juices flowing.

Become a Success Thinker and use your talents, expertise, knowledge and experience:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· To embrace the Internet, expand your vision of the future, and leverage these resources to expand your lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, I can hear you now “I’m retired and I don’t want to learn a new skill set” and I say “That’s ok, you can go to work at the mall for a minimum wage and struggle to maintain your current lifestyle”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me give you six good reasons to consider building your own internet business instead of working at a JOB:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Start an internet retirement business which you have a passion for, or have fun doing, while making money and hopefully much more than a JOB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Work hours that are flexible and meet your schedule. So you can enjoy your family and your retirement lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Work anywhere and anytime, where there is an internet connection. You can check how your business is doing anytime and anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Make money anytime and anywhere even while you snooze. In this case you can snooze and possibly win big instead of losing. You can’t do that with a JOB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Running an Internet business is more mentally than physically challenging. It will help keep you sharp and you don’t have long hours on your feet working for someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The business can be setup and run without maintaining inventory, employees, and other overhead which you would have if you had a traditional storefront.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, there is no free lunch. You will have to invest your time and money to learn to become proficient as an internet entrepreneur. But it could result in a lifestyle which could expand at this point in your life, and that would certainly be welcome, I would think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think it over, the choice is yours. If you would like to find out more information about starting your own internet business go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wealthgrowthsystem.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Build Your Own Internet Retirement Business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your success!!</description><link>http://retirementjobs.blogspot.com/2007/10/huge-reservoir-of-stored-knowledge.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BillM)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9066366724326841571.post-6985063785889656631</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-07T17:25:21.327-04:00</atom:updated><title>Building Your Internet Retirement Business</title><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;Four Key Requirements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;There a four key pieces in developing a successful internet retirement business. They are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;· Finding a focused target market&lt;br /&gt;· Finding a product people are hungry for&lt;br /&gt;· Developing a marketing strategy&lt;br /&gt;· Automating your business &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Primary Objective&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Your primary objective is to build an internet income stream which is repeatable over and over again. This can be accomplished by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;· Finding the hungry crowd&lt;br /&gt;· Determining what to feed them&lt;br /&gt;· Telling them about your offer&lt;br /&gt;· Automating the process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;Starting Out&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are starting out to build your internet business the best way to accomplish this is to find a product that has a proven track record in the four areas outlined above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning one of the internet traps many new internet business builders fall into is trying to learn and do it all. One of the best ways to learn how to build your new retirement business on the internet is to market products that someone else has already marketed and sold with a proven result. This is called affiliate marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;Affiliate Marketing Compared to Other Internet Businesses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does this compare to other opportunities? Check it out at&lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/page/1280998&quot;&gt; 5 Retirement Business Opportunities&lt;/a&gt;. As you can see the product sale including the pre-sales letter and all of the customer related tasks are handled by the business owner. You get paid for marketing and referring the customer to the business. Your commission can range from 10 – 75% depending on the affiliate agreement.

We all know in this day and age most people have little if any spare time so I would recommend you begin today by starting out small and making the time to learn how to build a successful internet business. There is nothing about building your retirement business that requires the special knowledge and expertise that can’t be learned by focusing on gaining that information from people who have already done it successfully. Start learning and thinking like an entrepreneur not an employee. Make a commitment to yourself to get the knowledge and develop the expertise to become an internet business entrepreneur and you will be on your way to enhancing your life style now and in your retirement years. Start now by taking the first step. Learn how to &lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/2gh9ug&quot;&gt;put your internet retirement business on autopilot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your success.</description><link>http://retirementjobs.blogspot.com/2007/10/building-your-internet-retirement.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BillM)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9066366724326841571.post-5839959120547851361</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Oct 2007 01:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-07T17:25:21.327-04:00</atom:updated><title>Retirement Planning -- An Un-Othodox Approach</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop!!! All I hear or read about is 401k’s, Roth IRA’s, IRA’s, pension plans etc. Don’t get me wrong, retirement planning, using these tools are extremely important but there is another way to plan for your retirement. I just read a comment on a retirement planning forum from a 23 year old who had saved 20 thousand dollars for his retirement and was asking people on the forum for advice and whether he was doing the right thing to plan for his retirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This got me to thinking. Why are people looking at retirement planning only one way. Which is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Using government of financial services products only to accomplish their retirement planning objectives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Retirement planning should be about how you can increase your wealth and life style. Not just putting away a certain number of dollars per year :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Based on a retirement calculator that assumes inflation is X and that the investment Y (401k, IRA, etc.) grows at a rate of Z. over the next 20+ years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t get me wrong I am not saying you should not include these tools when you are developing your retirement plan. They are a must. What I am saying is that you should consider becoming an entrepreneur and developing a business that will provide additional income which will enhance your retirement life style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you do that? Build a business on the internet. Ok, I can hear you now. “I don’t know anything about starting and running an online internet business” and I believe you. But don’t let that be a cop-out, because you can learn. The internet provides another option to retirement planning and one which can add to your financial resources after you’re retired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many different opportunities to plan for increased retirement income using the internet as a retirement tool. Add this tool to your retirement calculator and plan a retirement that includes increasing your retirement life style instead of just trying to maintain it.

As employees we have been taught to think of working for someone else to make money. The problem with working for a living is you can only earn what the employer wants to pay you. And if you are retired, many retirees take minimum wage jobs even though they have more to offer (and get paid for) than their employer will pay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;Think Internet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will require a different commitment (a lot of work in the beginning to set your business up) instead of giving your valuable time to make someone else’s business successful. But there are big benefits to setting up your own internet retirement business. A few of them are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;                        You are open for business 365 days/year 24/hours /day.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After the initial setup you can work on your schedule not someone else’s.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You will be doing it for yourself and not someone else so you will be rewarded as a business owner instead of an employee.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; You can organize and establish your internet business around what you know, your passion, or your expertise so you can get paid for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Becoming An Internet Entrepreneur&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;What does it take to become a retirement Internet Entrepreneur? Here are a few important changes you will have to make:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; A  change of mind set from employee, which most of us have been all our working life, to entrepreneur is essential.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; A realization that building an internet business in your retirement is not difficult to do it is simply a lot of work.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Because we have been employees our entire working life we must &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.thinktq.com/gift/index.cfm?sa=110208&quot;&gt;invest in ourselves&lt;/a&gt; and learn how to become entrepreneurs and business people.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Because we are not familiar with operating a business on the internet we must spend (invest) wisely in learning how to build a successful internet business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;If You Are Going To Do It Though Do It Right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;After reading the information above, you may say “I’m retired and I don’t want to start a business at this stage of my life”. And that’s ok. To those people who are looking for ways to increase their life style by building their own internet business and becoming un-retired my advice is: “Do it right”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is what I Mean:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend money (invest) in becoming an entrepreneur instead of trying to build your business with an employee mind set.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend money (invest) in becoming the best internet marketer you can be.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spend money (invest) wisely in your &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.thinktq.com/gift/index.cfm?ca=110208&quot;&gt;personal development&lt;/a&gt; and your business.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be aware that there a lot of people on the internet that will tell you they have a magic “get a rich quick solution” to your success.  Don’t believe it, it is a lot of work, not hard work.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be a Success Thinker.  Instead of listening to others who will say your business won’t work. If it doesn’t try again, don’t give up. You can be smarter than 87% of the businesses on the internet, but you will have to invest in finding out how to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start today by going to &lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/&quot;&gt;Start Your Own Internet Retirement Business &lt;/a&gt;for more information.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://retirementjobs.blogspot.com/2007/09/un-retirement.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BillM)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9066366724326841571.post-9071215382626690020</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-07T17:25:21.327-04:00</atom:updated><title>Retirement and Your Internet Business</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#0000ff;&quot;&gt;Retirement and Your Internet  Business&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;As a retiree I have been evaluating business models for making money on the  internet for the last few years. I know many of you have read the hype, watched  the infomercials, read the news articles, etc. on how to get rich by making  money on the internet. Some of you have also attended free seminars which talk  about how easy it is to make money and get rich by starting your own internet  business. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Most of us first experienced the internet market place by buying or even  selling stuff through Ebay, Amazon, Yahoo, or buying directly online from Best  Buy, Blockbuster, etc. But this site is not about showing you how to be a buyer  of someone else&#39;s products online. It&#39;s about giving you the necessary  information and identifying the correct resources for you to evaluate whether  you should become an internet entrepreneur at this stage in your life.  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;At this point: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Are you looking for a business opportunity to supplement your income  monthly? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Are you recently retired and want to start a new business. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Are you recently retired, bored and want to find a rewarding, challenging  and possibly lucrative opportunity to make money online. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;color:#339966;&quot;&gt;How to Get Started&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;If the answer is yes to any of the questions above than maybe I can help. You  see, the biggest problems with starting an online business is knowing how to get  started and making decisions on things like: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- What to do  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- How to do it  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Where I should (invest) spend money  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- How much money should I spend &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now I don&#39;t purport to know your circumstances but I can offer you some  valuable advice based on my own and sometimes costly experience. You see, I had  the same problems and uncertainty&#39;s, when I started thinking about, evaluating  and starting my own online business. My background is from the corporate world  where I managed large organizations and I had to learn and relearn how to  develop and run an online business as an entrepreneur. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;color:#339966;&quot;&gt;Entrepreneurial Business  Venture&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make no mistake about it you must view this new venture (if you choose to go  forward) as an entrepreneurial business. If you treat it as a hobby (even though  you start your business around your hobby) the chances of it becoming a  profitable business over time are diminished considerably. So my advice is to  treat your new venture as a profit/loss online business immediately and start it  and grow it to make money from the start. Let me start by giving you an overview  of how to go about starting and operating your own internet business. So let&#39;s  get started on our journey. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;color:#339966;&quot;&gt;STARTING YOUR OWN INTERNET  BUSINESS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;While there are many areas that are important to understand  I would like to  focus on the following 5 important categories: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Investing in your online business  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Investing in yourself  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Understanding internet marketing  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Drawing traffic (customers) to your business site  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Developing a business model for your online business &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;The reason I will focus on the five areas above is because I believe these  are the areas that are critical to building your own online business. Let&#39;s get  started. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;First, you have to understand one important thing, you have to&lt;u&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/page/1100000&quot;&gt;invest in  your online business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. Remember this is a business not a hobby.  You have competition out there and you must  invest the time and money to be  successful. If you don&#39;t make the investment your competition will and they  will take your customers once they see the niche has profit potential. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Second, you have to&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/page/1224835&quot;&gt; invest in  yourself&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. Remember, for most of us entrepreneurial skills have  not been a part of our tool bag. It is essential that we develop these skills to  run an online internet business. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Third, we have to &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/page/1225767&quot;&gt;understand internet marketing  and selling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; to pick successful product(s) or service(s) to market  or sell. Because bottom-line, your business is not going to make a dime if your  customer doesn&#39;t buy or your competitor gets to him first. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fourth, having an internet business is not like having a store front in your  home town or mall. You and only you are responsible for getting customers to  your online store front. Unlike the mall where people are passing by,  people  will not come to your online without you &lt;span style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/page/1224864&quot;&gt;dra&lt;b&gt;wing  them&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to your site. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fifth, once your customer buys from you, you have to have an&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/page/1225810&quot;&gt;online  business model&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;  which will continue to draw new customers to your  business and sell to your existing customers over and over again. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sound complicated and confusing? It doesn&#39;t have to be. But make no mistake  about it, you will get out of your business what you put it into it. The good  news is the same internet that you are going to make money from is the same  resource that will help you be successful in developing your online internet  business and that is where I can add value. I will show you the places to look  to develop and  grow your business. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; There are lots of resources that are free or at modest cost while there are  other resources which are worth the additional investment in your business to  help you be successful. Know where to get these resources and invest the money  and time in your internet business and you will looking back on this day as a  day you started your new online venture on the internet. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get started today and begin by improving your &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wealthgrowthsystem.com/page/1100000&quot;&gt;Business Development  Skills&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;To your business success. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://retirementjobs.blogspot.com/2007/09/retirement-and-your-internet-business.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BillM)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
