Getting your site(s) 'Out There'

One way to find relevant places to submit your site to is to search in Google for something like :

crafts "submit url"

You could also try

crafts forum

(obviously crafts would be replaced with whatever your area is).

It is a little time consuming, but usually only has to be done once and that way you can manually approve where you are submitting your site(s) to. If you make a point of spending 20 minutes a day in this way you will have a lot of valuable links and free advertising within a few weeks/months :-)

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Month 2 and Beyond

Month 2 and Beyond: From here on, I only need to focus on a few things...

• Building my mailing list consistently,
• Building a strong relationship with my list members by offering them great value through free reports, articles, and tips, AND...
• Finding and forming new positive and mutually-beneficial relationships with other power players in the field, i.e. joint ventures.
• Offering them great products and services on a consistent basis! These products can either be your own, affiliate products, or products that you buy resell rights to.
  

Don't be afraid to sell to your list. Those who are only there to get free stuff will probably drop out eventually. And, that's a good thing! That's what you want! Those who appreciate the value you provide for them will stick around for a long time.

Continue to joint venture and make deals with other publishers / webmasters to build your network, build your list as well as generate ongoing profits!

Survey your list and find out what type of products they would want in the future. Find out what their main wants, concerns, and problems are. Then, either find the appropriate products or create them yourself, and offer it to them.

Another powerful concept you can introduce into your business is to add residual income streams. These are usually businesses (your own or others) that continue to pay you a monthly income per each customer that you bring in. You bring in a customer one time and continue getting paid for that customer for as long as he/she is with the company.

Day 30 : Closing Thoughts

In closing, I'd like to say that, the strategies I've offered above may sound simple but they work! If you put in the time and effort, you will see amazing results.

Keep it as simple as you can and continue to improve on the basics.

Also remember that in order to succeed massively in business, you have to separate yourself from all the other players in your field/niche.

You can do this by establishing your uniqueness! Find some way to differentiate yourself from everyone else. You are a unique individual and I’m sure you have some unique qualities in you. At the least, be unique in the way you create/write products, package them, or the level at which you offer customer service.

Finally, keep in mind that in this business (or any other business for that matter), you will get to hear some "no's" along the way. You will meet some challenges and bumps.

Don't take any of it personally. Learn from them and keep moving forward. Action and persistence are really the keys to the castle.

To your Success!

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 29

Day 29: Oh heck, I don't know, respond to any emails that came in, watch more orders coming in and...take the rest of the day off!

You've worked hard for the past 28 days and you're starting to see some really great results. It has really paid off.

Take a moment to smile and be thankful for all the great things that are beginning to happen. Believe me, this IS just the beginning.

Between the viral reports, the affiliate program, and now the joint ventures, things should start rolling pretty well.

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Days 24-28

Day 24 - 28: Form Alliances With Other Marketers (i.e. Joint Venture)

Start by contacting those publishers and webmasters who agreed to post your report/recipe to their lists/sites.

Offer them a good percentage of the profits if they help you get the word out about your product. i.e. if they endorse your product to their database of prospects and customers.

Next, contact other webmasters and ezine publishers in your field and offer to join forces with them as well. (You can find these either at the forums or our handy google.com search engine.)

The more enticing, beneficial, and unique your offer is, the more joint venture successes you will create. If they happen to have a phone number on their site, pick up the phone and give them a call. If not, send them an email (or even a postal mail) about your JV offer.

Note: Offer each JV prospect you contact a free copy of your product so they can review it before they decide to joint venture with you.

Important: Each successful joint venture deal can jolt your subscriber rate and your profits significantly! Don't be surprised to see a lot of orders pouring in through joint ventures alone.

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Days 22-23

Day 22 - 23: Send another free report or two out to your list.

Along with the second one, include some information about your new book that you just released! Outline the juiciest benefits of your new product and direct them to your sales page. (Do not try to sell from within the email. Let the sales page do that.)

You can offer your list members a special discount price that no one else is going to get. Make them feel special.

If you already have a paid clickbank account and have decided not to offer resell rights to your book, you can offer each customer who buys your book a chance to become your affiliate. (You can have this information on your thankyou/download page as well.)

If you don't yet have a paid clickbank account, you can offer your affiliate program to them at a later date (after you get the clickbank account set up.)

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Days 19-21

Days 19 - 21: Get a sales letter (and download page, etc.) ready for your new product.

If you have decided to offer resell rights to your book, add the information (and order link) for resell rights towards the end of the sales page as well.

Keep in mind that while you're working on your product and sales letter, your free articles are being spread around with the help of the viral technique we used and your list continues to grow. This also means that you probably have a few sales trickling in for your affiliate product. (This is why I started with an existing product, to get things moving fast and the cash flow coming in.)

Here’s how you can get your sales letter ready very quickly and easily…

Some of the most highly-paid copywriters, don't create their powerful (and expensive) sales materials from scratch. Nope. That would take too much time and too much effort! They simply "steal" brilliant marketing ideas and sales materials that have worked well in the past.

They 'steal' and borrow from tested ideas and ads that have actually pulled in millions of dollars.

They just "recycle" what has been proven to work instead of wasting time on creating new stuff that could very easily fail.

Yes, that also means that some of the best marketers and copywriters can still create projects that fail at times. No one is exempt from failure. That's why they're smart enough to borrow from their past successes - to increase their chances of future successes.

So…how can you use this strategy in your business?

Well, first of all, let me make it very clear that I'm not asking you to copy other people's work word-for-word! That can get you into a lot of legal trouble (and it's also wrong, ethically.) When I say "steal," what I really mean is "model" after a successful ad or site.

Start by searching for the top moneymakers in your field/niche. Just go to the popular search engines, like google.com and search for the product that you're selling.

Example: If you're selling calculators, search for web sites of the top calculator sellers and look at their site. Study the format and layout of their site, study the sales letter. Then, "model" your site after those successful sites.

But, how can you tell whether a particular site is successful or not? If it's a well-known company that is obviously doing very well with their product, you can usually assume they have pretty good sales copy.

However, if you're not sure whether a particular site/salespage is worth copying, simply read it. That is the best test of good sales copy. If by reading the page, it convinces you to buy the product, or persuades you enough to at least consider checking the product out, you can bet it's a great sales letter.

Not only is this the fastest way to create your own sales letter, it is also a sure-fire way of dramatically increasing your chances of success. When you model past, proven sales models, you are usually guaranteed the same or similar levels of success.

Imagine having a sales letter that is converting one out of every 100 web visitors into buying customers. That means, out of every 100 people that visit your site, one of them buys from you.

Now... what if you "stole" a powerful headline from an already-tested, successful sales letter for a similar product and instantly doubled your profits -- overnight! By changing only the headline of your sales letter! And, what if you started changing other parts of your sales letter using the tested, successful sales letter and continued to double, triple, quadruple your profits! (Keep in mind that all these changes barely takes you a few minutes to do.)

Do you think you can handle quick and easy profit gains like these? Hey, if this strategy works for the best in the business, why shouldn't it work for you? More importantly, why shouldn't YOU use it too and see the same kind of immediate profit gains for your business?

The truth is, if you're not using this simple strategy to increase profits for your business, you're just working too hard! And, you're wasting too much time on trial-and-error.

There is an easier, better, faster way to creating profit-pulling sales letters. And I just revealed it to you above. ;-)

Use it, and watch your profits soar -- almost overnight!

Day 18: Clickbank

If you haven't already done so, go to clickbank and set up a paid account so you can start selling your own products. The reason I like clickbank is because they also offer an easy way to set up your affiliate program (which is a great way to grow your business fast.)

If you can't afford a clickbank account yet, head on to paypal and set up a free account with them. Be sure to set it up for bank transfers right away so that you can move money from your paypal account into your bank account quickly.

This free clickbank video course will take you through the basics of choosing and promoting a product from the Clickbank marketplace.

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Days 14-17

Day 14 - 17 : Create Your First Product

Let's say you decide to create a "how-to" type product that teaches people to cook. You can surely go to the library or bookstore (or even use Amazon's 'Search inside' feature) and get some ideas on layout, table of contents, etc.

You already know how to write reports and articles. A how-to manual is just a bunch of reports/articles put together in a logical sequence. Do your research, look at other books and reports, and start putting your reports together. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't have to be hundreds of pages to make you money. If the reader finds it useful, he/she will be willing to pay you for it.

The great thing about short informational products (delivered via the Internet) is that you can make a profit even if you sell it for a few bucks. (A lot of online products are less than 20 pages in length, but sell for anywhere from $9.95 to $39.95.)

More money is being made out there than ever before, by individuals selling short, focused reports! And it's growing at incredible rates.

The bottom line is...when it comes to info-products, size doesn't necessarily matter! Quality does! You could make just as much money with a 15-page book as you could with a 100-page one. In fact, you can make more with the former. I'll show you how shortly.

Profit potential aside, there are many other great reasons to create these little ebooks...

• They are very easy to put together; it doesn't require much work.
• They can be completed within a few weeks, a few days, and sometimes even a few hours!
• They are really not that difficult or time consuming to market.
  
• They are especially great for new marketers (with little or no experience) and are also easy profit generators for seasoned marketers. And...
• Most importantly, they allow you to spread your risk.
  

You see, it all boils down to time and money i.e. time management and positive cash flow.

Time is a very precious commodity, especially if you still have a 9 to 5 job to deal with. And, we already know that all of our projects will not be home runs. In fact, there's a good chance that a few of them will be complete flops. That's the reality most of us have to deal with.

So, if you invest a lot of time and energy into creating a monster ebook that turns out to be a dud, you would have lost all the time and energy you put into that project, with nothing to show for it.

On the other hand, if you had spent only a couple of weeks to create a much shorter ebook which also turned out to be a dud, you could quickly pull that one out and replace it with another short one. Your risks are dramatically reduced and your chances of putting out a winner is increased!

It's better to create 10 little ebooks per year and have 2 of them flop (which means 8 of them are bringing in the cash!) than to only create one or two big ebooks in that same year and risk having them both flop. There is also a much better chance that 1 of your products will be a hot seller if you have 10 of them out there, instead of just one or two.

Now, let's look at profit potential...

If each one of these 8 books bring in $1000 per month for you, the profits can add up quickly. If your goal is to pull in $100,000 in the coming year, you have a much better chance of getting there with 8 to 10 small ebooks bringing in $1000 per month each, instead of relying on just one big ebook alone to pull in the entire $100,000.

And...even if you pull in just a few hundred per month from each of the 8 books, that's still a heck of a lot better than what most people are making online.

Here are a few more ways you can ensure that you profit from these short ebooks, well into the future...

• You can offer each one as a backend (followup) product for the other.
• You can bundle them up later and sell them as a brand new package, with a different price tag.
• You can use some of them (especially if they don't sell too well on their own) as bonuses for your other products, to increase the perceived value of the 'package.'
• You can also use some of them purely as list builders. (Give them away for free, swap them with other marketers, or whatever. The fact that it only took you a week or two to create them offers you a lot more options and flexibility.)
  

And, if you're still passionate about creating that monster ebook, why not break it up into smaller projects and start selling each one as they get completed?

For example, if you want to create the "complete" 'online marketing' guide, you could start by creating a small ebook on just 'sales copy writing' and start selling it. Then, create another on 'product development' and get that one out as well. And so on...

In the end, you can bundle them up together, or combine them into one mega book and sell it. Your time is much better spent that way. And...you also have some cash coming in while you work on your projects.

Many of us continue to chase after that one million dollar idea and miss many of the smaller $100,000 projects along the way.

These smaller products are much easier to create, are much easier to roll out, don't require a large investment of your time, energy or money, and they greatly reduce your risks.

They are also probably the fastest way to get your name out there and build credibility for yourself and your business. You can really do some serious damage with these mini ebooks, as long as you provide valuable information in them.

After your product is done, head on down to www.adobe.com and use their trial system to turn your document into Adobe Acrobat format. This is the most commonly used format on the Internet and caters for both PC and Mac users.

Day 13:

At this point, I've got some money coming in. I will probably get my own domain name and a cheap hosting service to set it up on. Again, just doing a search on google.com will give me many options to choose from. (I personally use www.worldwidewebhosts.com but there are countless webhosts to choose from. I use www.hotdomainmart.com to register my web site names. )

Now that I've got some money coming in, and have my own site set up, I can start working on putting my own products together. The great thing about your own products is that you get to keep 100% of the profits, and you have full control over it. That means, you can offer resell rights to others, start an affiliate program, etc. More on this later.

Day 12: Getting More Exposure

Here's another way to get your reports (and affiliate product) more exposure. If you're writing your own reports and/or recipes, start submitting them to other publishers (of ezines or websites) so that they can offer it to their prospects / customers.

You could either look for these sites/publishers on google.com or simply ask on the forums to see if anyone is interested in free content for their publications or web sites. There are usually quite a few people looking for content.

Submit your report/recipe to as many publishers/webmasters as you can. Not everyone will agree to post it, but that's OK. Get as many as you can.

Make a list of all the publishers/webmasters that did agree to publish your report. You can contact them later for your other reports, products, and/or joint venture deals. (In fact, you can also contact those who didn’t post your work. They may still be open for a joint venture that’ll make them some profit.)

Note: You can continue to use the above strategy for as long as it works. When your results start to diminish, get another great free report, change the signature file for your posts to match and repeat the process. Also, submit the new reports to the other ezines and sites.

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Days 8-11

Day 8 - 11: Expose Your Report (And Ad) To Existing Traffic Pools

Next, create a signature file for your forum postings, that would offer your free report to others. So, if your report was offering a free chicken recipe, you could use something like this:

Here's The BEST Fried Chicken
Recipe I've Ever Come Across!
Get Your FREE Copy From Here: <-- your autoresponder email address goes here.

Now you're ready to start participating in the forums. You can ask questions as well as help others with their questions. Each post you make will carry your signature line (at the end of the post) promoting your free chicken recipe.

Anyone interested in the recipe can send an email to your autoresponder and get the recipe within minutes. They also get to see your ad for the product you're selling at the end of the recipe.

You're also building your mailing list as you go along. A definite bonus!

(Note: When you start getting responses, there may be a few people who will ask you not to send them any additional recipes or tips. Remove those emails from your list right away.)

Make It Viral Immediately!

To get maximum exposure for your report (and the affiliate product), offer your readers free reprint rights to your report/recipe (as long as they publish it with your signature file.) This can get your report to spread like wildfire.

So far, you've been able to offer something of value to others (your free recipe,) build your list, and probably pull in a few orders. Without having your own product or even a web site. Not too bad, eh? ;-)

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 7

Day 7: Forums

Go back to google.com and search for "recipe forums" and/or "cooking forums" (or whatever your chosen niche is). Go through the forums and either make a list of all the good ones into a Notepad/Wordpad document, or simply save the links into the Favorites folder of your web browser. (You could create a sub-folder to store all your pages in, for this project.)

Browse through the forums. Get a feel for what the environment is like on each forum. Read through the posting rules and FAQ's if they have any available.

Note: The reason I'm focusing on recipe and cooking forums instead of general interest forums with larger audiences is simple. I want to get as targeted an audience as I can get. This is very important.

Moreover, the less money/time you have, the more targeted you need to get. Because you don't have time/money to waste on untargeted and unresponsive people.

It's better to go to a forum of only 100 members that are highly targeted than to go to a general interest forum that has a thousand members.

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 6

Day 6: Next, you need to find an autoresponder.

Most web hosts will give you a basic autoresponder where you can receive an email to a certain address and it will automatically 'respond' with a reply (eg. We have received your email and will respond within the next 48 hours).

When sending out newsletters and marketing messages what is required is the ability to pre-load a sequence of autoresponder messages and the option to 'broadcast' a one-off message (i.e. a newsletter or a special offer) to all your subscribers whenever you want to.

The main options for an autoresponder are:

Autoresponder software which you install on your server
Autoresponder software which you install on your desktop
A third-party Autoresponder service.

Everyone is concerned about getting spam. In several email services (like hotmail and google etc.) they have a button at the top of every email which people can click to say 'this email is spam'. This is then registered as a spam complaint and if you get a relatively high percentage of spam complaints you risk getting shut down. The trouble is a lot of people don't really understand what spam is. They often click that button because they have simply decided they don't want to receive your newsletter any more. If you have done everything right (such as used double opt-in and given an unsubscribe link at the end of every email - standard features of most autoresponders) then you should have nothing to worry about if you have used a recognised third-party autoresponder service. If you opt for software installed on your own server or desktop then a collection of spam complaints (even when false) could risk you being shut down by your web host or isp. For that reason I would always recommend people use a third-party service and only accept double opt-in subscribers. The other main reason for using a reputable third-party autoresponder service is that most have a relationship with all the various email service providers so you have a much better chance of your emails getting through in the first place.

I use Aweber for all of my online businesses (one account can have unlimited autoresponder lists on it). You can get a free test drive of the Aweber service by going through this link: Aweber.com
(look towards the bottom of that page for the free test-drive signup).

Once you have set up your autoresponder account (or software / webscript) load up your article into the autoresponder and test the system out (by sending email to it and timing it's response rate, etc.)

If you're satisfied with the AR (autoresponder) you picked, add a few more lines to your AR message...

At the very top, add something like...

"Thank you for requesting your free ____ recipe! Enjoy, and feel free to pass this article to your friends and family."

At the end of the AR message (before your ad for the affiliate product), add something along the lines of...

"We will send you more great recipes, tips, and resources soon! If you do not wish to receive these from us, please let us know."

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 5

Day 5: Create a signature line

Now, we want to create a signature line (i.e. ad) for the report that would promote our product to the readers. Go through the sales letter of the product you chose and pick out a strong benefit that you can use to create a small ad. The headline of the sales letter usually works well for this.

(This is another reason why I would find an existing product to sell first. The sales letter is already written and has probably been tested for effectiveness. And...you don't even need to get your own site to start selling.)

So, if the headline of the sales letter reads "Get 25 Delicious And Easy To Prepare Recipes For Every Occasion", your ad can simply say...

Get 25 Delicious And Easy To Prepare
Recipes For Every Occasion!
Visit: <--- insert your affiliate link for this product here --->

Add this short ad to the end of your report. Now your report's ready to go!

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 4

Day 4: Find (Or Create) Some Killer Reports

Next, I would (keeping the time factor in mind) look for existing articles that I can get reprint rights too. There are many great articles on the Internet on just about any subject you can think of. Find some good ones and ask the authors if you can get permission to share them with others.

Of course, if you do have previous writing experience, and can whip out something good fairly quickly, you could write some articles of your own.

It's a good idea to tie the report into the product you're planning on selling. So, if you're selling recipes, you could use an article that shares a great recipe. No rocket science there.

If you would like to write your own articles but don't know how, just find some good articles/reports and study them. Look at how they're written, layed out, etc. Go to the library and pick up a book on writing if you need to. It's really not that difficult at all. You could easily whip out an article a day.

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 3

Day 3: Find The Right Product

Next, I would find or create my product(s). Creating your own products is not difficult. However, it does take a little time to get it done, create a sales letter for it, work on the site, test it out, etc.

If you are short of time (and / or money) then it is probably better to start by looking for existing products that I could acquire resell rights to or become an affiliate of.

You can go to www.clickbank.com and browse through their Marketplace for a product you can affiliate with. I like clickbank because they automatically (and instantly) transfer your commissions into your account. You don't have to depend on the product owner's schedule to receive timely commissions. And, you can become an affiliate of all of their products at no charge. Another similar affiliate marketplace is www.paydotcom.com although there you are paid directly by the vendor. Both are good places to sell your digital products if you have created your own.

You could also go to www.google.com (or even Yahoo) and search for sites selling recipes, recipe books, cookbooks, etc. and look for sites you could affiliate with. It would be to your advantage to work with sites/products that offer a generous commission (at least 50%.)

Tip: As you look through these sites, pay attention to how professional the sites look, how convincing the sales letter is, and also how soon after the sale they send out commissions. If you personally feel good about the site, see some great testimonials, and feel that you would want to do business with that company, you've probably found a good business to affiliate with.

(Let me also point out here that if you do have some experience with creating your own products, feel free to do so. It doesn't have to contain 100 pages. It can be only a few pages, as long as you provide solid, valuable information.)

Finding Your Niche
----------------------

When trying to figure out which niche to go after, the questions you want to ask yourself are...

• What do I love to do the most? What am I most passionate about in life?
• What subjects do I have strong emotional feeling towards?
• What am I naturally good at or have an instinct for? (Provided it's something you enjoy doing!)
• If I were to wake up in the morning and choose to do one thing, what would that be?
• What would express my creative intention and bring out the best in me while doing it?
• How can I benefit myself and others if I were to express my creative intention?
  

To some, the answers may come very easily. And for some of us, it may require a little bit of soul-searching and self-discovery to get there.

If you're having a hard time finding the answers, just get your mind going in that general direction by pondering on the above questions, especially before you go to bed at night (and until you fall asleep.) The power of focus is such that it will get your mind working in the background (while you're sleeping) to bring the answers to you.

For now, you can simply start by asking...

"What are my favorite hobbies, interests, activities, etc."

Or...

"What are some things I don't know yet but have a burning desire to learn more about?"

Start a list and add all your favorites to it.

Turning Problems into Opportunities
----------------------

Realize that it's not just your passions, hobbies, and interests you should be taking note of. Also take a closer look at your biggest problems and challenges.

You see, life has an interesting way of trying to put us onto the right path... if we would only stop and pay attention. Often times, the major problems and challenges in our lives arise only to direct us, to nudge us towards the right path, the path that we're supposed to be traveling on. Yet many of us get so wrapped up in the problem itself that we're constantly fighting and pushing away while never being able to see what it's trying to tell us.

Many of your greatest pains and challenges are simply opportunities in disguise.

Some of our greatest inventions came out of problems and challenges the inventors were having in their lives. They decided to focus on the solution instead of giving all their energy and thought to the problem.

During the great depression, while most people were suffering and going through tough times, others found ways to "solve problems" and then helped others cope with those problems. They became very rich in the process.

You can do the same today.

Start looking for the answers and solutions to those major problems/challenges in your life. If no one else has yet provided an effective solution to the problem, you may just be the person to do it.

Problems are everywhere you look, on every corner you turn. Just look around you. People are miserable, they're irritable, they're mad!

Often times, one of the problems you're having in your life is also something that many others are having as well. Find the solution to it and become the expert that everyone else will look to for answers.

The best way to become rich is to create value in others' lives. Start with your own problems and find ways to make others' lives easier.

Open their eyes to what's really going on around them, offer solutions to their problems. In return, they will reward you with money!

The Most Popular Subjects
----------------------

If you're still having a hard time trying to figure out which niche market to go into, continue to do the 'focusing' exercise given earlier, and then, take a look at this...

Here's a list of some of the most popular subjects people are paying for...

• Dating, Seduction, Sex Advice, Relationships
• Losing weight, gaining muscle, looking more attractive
• Health & fitness, cures/reliefs from specific diseases & ailments
• Spying, online privacy and security
• Safety, personal security, and protection of self and loved ones (self defense, home security, scam prevention, etc.)
• How to use computers and the Internet
• Mental influence, persuasion, and dominance
• General self-help, self improvement, personal development, and success
• Hobbies and special interests: cooking, magic, UFO's, metaphysics, becoming more competitive in sports, activities, etc.
• Making money, aside from marketing information: investing, stock market, futures trading, real estate tips, and other related financial information
• And of course, having more control and freedom in their lives!
  

People are always looking to improve themselves or some area of their lives. They are always trying to find solutions to problems.

There are sites catering to some of the above categories that are already generating thousands of dollars every month. I have personally sold products in some of the above categories and have done very well.

Yet, we haven't even begun to tap the true profit potential in these areas yet because there's very little competition in most of these areas, especially when compared to the "how-to marketing" area! The potential to make money from the above special-interest categories is huge - and it's wide open!

Moreover, as more and more people get accustomed to buying digital products, you can easily imagine making insane amounts of money through these topics well into the future.

You could pick any one of the above subjects that you personally have an interest in and run with it.

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 2

Day 2: Find Your Passion!

Now it is time to choose the right target to shoot for. The more clear you are on what you're shooting for, the better your chances will be of hitting the mark.

I would lock myself in my room and take the phone off the hook...or even better, find a place away from your normal environment, a quiet peaceful place, preferably around nature - in the woods or a nice park, etc.

Once I'm there, I would take a few moments to relax and soak it all in. Get your mind to a calm, comfortable, relaxed state. (You can use the relaxation technique mentioned on day 1.) Then, I would start by making a list of all the things I enjoy doing, all of my interests and hobbies, all of my passions. Since we're starting from scratch, we might as well pick a subject/business that we would enjoy doing, right?

I would spend at least a good few hours on really getting this information out of myself. Think of what your ideal jobs or careers are. What have you enjoyed doing in the past? What did you enjoy a lot as a kid? What are the things that really make you come alive? Add everything to the list. Don't worry about how you're going to make money doing those things yet. Just put together as thorough a list as you can.

See...you want to do what you enjoy, what you love.

Pick the kind of lifestyle you want first - then build the business around that!

Only after your list is done, should you think of turning those hobbies/interests/passions into a business. Pick the top 5 choices out of your list and think of how you can help others by doing them. For example, if you really enjoy cooking and that was one of your top 5 choices, you can now start thinking of ways to turn that into a business.

You could, for example, share your recipes with others, teach them to cook like you, or you could even cook for them. Personally, I love selling information. So, I would probably decide to sell an informational product, say a book of recipes, a 'learn-to-cook' type of manual, or something along those lines.

My belief is that when you do something you really enjoy doing and you find a way to help others while doing it, making money is just a natural end result.

However, if you are not yet as confident of the above beliefs as I am, you can always check to see if there's a demand for the subject you chose before you go any further.

Just go to www.yahoo.com and do a search for whatever it is you've decided to do. Let's say that we decided to sell recipes and cookbooks. In which case, we would run a search for words such as: recipes, recipe book, cookbook, cooking, etc. If you don't find any sites dealing with recipes and cooking and you'd rather not take a chance pursuing that, you can move on to the next choice on your list. If you do find many sites about them, you have established that people are in fact interested in recipes and cookbooks.

The reason I picked Yahoo to search on is this: getting a good listing on Yahoo is not easy. It can also get very expensive. That means, if there are companies who have gone through the trouble of getting good listings on Yahoo, they have probably done so for very good reasons. In other words, there is money to be made with recipes and cookbooks.

You can also run a search on www.amazon.com for recipe books and/or even step into your local Barnes & Noble bookstore to check out their front shelves.

While we're on the subject of 'doing what you love,' let me take this opportunity to share something else of importance.

Most new marketers tend to start by selling marketing products. And while there is still money to be made in marketing products, it's not like it used to be. These days, the competition in the marketing field is fierce and I don't see it letting up anytime soon.

You will have a much easier time succeeding with non-marketing products. In other words, "niche marketing" - doing what you love, what you enjoy, what you have a passion for.

Let me also point out that I've made more money with special-interest 'niche' products than with all of my other marketing products combined! And I have quite a few marketing products out there. I hope that gives you some idea of the importance of pursuing a market that you have a love, passion or interest for, instead of going after something that seems to be making other people money.

If you absolutely love marketing and showing others how to market, then by all means sell marketing products. Otherwise, stick with what you enjoy and love, and become the Queen (or King) of that niche!

30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 1

The following 30-day 'Internet Profits' plan is designed for both beginners and the more experienced to put to use and easily start pulling in a steady stream of online profits. It incorporates many of the things I do in my own business(s) and I think some of you will find it useful (or at least interesting).

I will try to post this 30 day plan in 'real time' but it will remain on this blog afterwards so you may find that you are starting your 30 day plan in a different month (or year!). Whatever date you are starting this plan, I recommend that you stick to each day as it comes and don't skip ahead. Your 30 day plan could potentially be the beginning of a successful business - it is worth taking the time to do it right.

Good luck!

Day 1: Develop A 'Success Mindset'

The first day is about finding your center and creating the right mindset! This is extremely important! Without it, you will have a difficult time finding success.

You can have the best tools and strategies at your disposal. But if you have a poor attitude and mindset, those tools and strategies will not do you much good.

If you want to succeed, you have to pull out all the stops and use all that you have. And your mind is the greatest asset you possess.

First of all, realize the simple fact that every problem is really an opportunity in disguise.

If you are brand new to the Internet marketing world, you are extremely fortunate! Because, you have to opportunity here to start from scratch!

You don't have to pick just another job and get stuck in it again. You have a chance to pick something that you actually enjoy doing!

The only way is up from here. And that's what we will focus on. We have an opportunity here to find what we are really passionate about and do that!

I would use this day to clearly outline a few rules for myself to follow, for the rest of the 30 days, and beyond:

• I will realize that my failures are in my past. They're gone, old news. I'm not going to dwell on them or beat myself up over them. Today is a new day and I'm going to make a fresh start! I will simply learn from my mistakes and forge on ahead!
• I will not worry or panic about my current financial situation, as that will not help matters at all; it will only slow me down. If I run across any problems or challenges, I will spend very little time focusing on the problem while spending most of my time focusing on the solution!
• I will also realize and keep reminding myself that every problem, every challenge has within it the seed of a new opportunity! And that's what I will focus on - the opportunities.
• I will spend the next 30 days focusing only on success, optimism, solutions, and on moving forward.
• I am going to keep the negative people out of my life for at least the next 30 days.
• I will remind myself that this is totally doable! There are people out there with much less intellect and resources than me that have created amazing successes on the Internet. If they can do it, I can definitely do it! All I need is to take action, pay attention to where I'm heading and improve accordingly…and persist!
• And finally, I will realize that this world really is a place of abundance. Just look around. You've got the entire Internet at your disposal! And as if that were not enough, you've got public libraries full of information and knowledge. It's yours for the taking. Put it to use! Everything you need is there, including money. We just have to put forth the action and claim what's ours.
  

Every morning, before I do anything else, I will remind myself of the above. My goal is success and that's all I'm going to focus on. Failure is not an option. If anytime during the day, I begin to feel down, I will go through the above list again and get back in touch with what's real.

Every night, before falling asleep, I will visualize myself as having already reached my goals, as clearly and vividly as I can. I will also get in touch with all the feelings that go with that vision and really embody the experience. I will see myself exactly as I want to be, living the life that I want to live, enjoying the things and experiences that I want.

This is my primary focus for the next 30 days.

Please do the above every single day! I cannot stress the importance of it enough.

Remember...

You can have the best tools and strategies at your disposal. But if you have the wrong mindset, those tools and strategies will not do you much good.

Get your mind firmly focused in the right direction and the rest will fall into place!

Believe That It’s Possible For YOU!

You have to believe that you CAN get whatever results you're after. If your goal is to earn a million dollars, you have to convince yourself that you can do it.

The easiest way to do it is to spend time looking at the successes and millionaires around you. Read about them. Watch videos about them. Listen to others talk about them. Do whatever you have to do to FOCUS on success, and spend time around like-minded people.

Something very interesting happens when you shift your focus in this way. See, there is a universal law that tends to attract to you whatever it is you most focus on. Whatever you focus on most gets drawn to you. Don't ask me how this happens. (Actually, I do know how but explaining it will take several pages). ;-) Just know that it's a proven fact. Like energy attracts like energy.

For example, when you start taking guitar lessons, you will suddenly find that there are so many others around you who are also into guitars. They are drawn to you. You suddenly become aware of like-minded people simply by focusing in a certain direction (in this case, guitars.)

So, start looking for proof around you. Read stories and case studies about others who have already earned a million dollars. Let the stories motivate you and make a believer out of you.

The reality is that whatever it is that you want in your life, you can have it, IF you first believe that you can have it. Believe at the core (not just on the surface level) that it is possible, that it's doable.

If others can do it, you can do it. It's that simple.

The next thing you want to do is to learn to relax. The more relaxed you are, the more efficiently your mind (and body) will function.

Here's a simple relaxation technique you can use to center yourself: Lay down in bed or sit in a comfortable chair. Close your eyes and start taking deep, slow breaths. Let your mind go from all other thoughts and just focus on your breathing. In and out. With each in-breath, see yourself filling up with energy and vigor. And with each out-breath, see all the stress, tension, worry and confusion drifting out of your body.

Do this for 5 to 15 minutes every morning, and a couple of times during the day when you take breaks. It will center your mind and relax your body. Both are essential for optimum performance, and success.

And finally, you have to keep your body healthy! Your body is your vehicle, without it you won't be able to do much. Keep yourself well nourished and hydrated throughout the day. When we are faced with tough situations, we tend to abuse our bodies with unhealthy foods and drinks. Make an effort to not do this. Avoid junk foods, high-sugar foods and drinks, and alcohol. For the next 30 days, make an honest effort to eat healthy so that your mind and body can function at optimum levels.

It is also very useful to add in at least 20 to 30 minutes of brisk walking into your schedule. You can do this in the mornings, at noon, or in the evenings. It's your choice. If you can't do it every day, do it at least 3 to 4 times per week. This can also be a time for you to take a break from everything for a few minutes. I find it very useful to grab a notepad or tape recorder while I go on my walks. The very moment you let go of everything is when some really great ideas come to you. (It's because your mind has a chance to relax and roam freely.)

To some people, this all may seem like unnecessary work, but it's absolutely critical to your success that you do them.

Now that you've taken care of a plan for your body and mind, it's time for the next step.

As A Man Thinketh by James Allen :' “They themselves are makers of themselves.”
…by virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.'

**********************

Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.

Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought-forces and mind elements operate in the shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny. binaural beats

Thought and character are one, and as character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state.

Ultimate Wealth Package Review

'The Ultimate Wealth Package' is a product which arouses a lot of interest from potential work at home moms but the question I keep getting asked is 'is it worth it?'. Depending on how many times you've been around the internet marketing block you may find that it is just reinforcing things you already know you should be doing (though perhaps have not done yet).

All areas are covered in the package: internet marketing, ebooks, opt in lists, making money as an affiliate, blogging, public domain, joint ventures, making money with ebay, making money with Google, even how to develop the right mental attitude. In the members area there is a learning centre full of articles and audio interviews (with 20 of the best known internet marketing 'gurus') and a bonus download section packed with lots of PLR articles, PLR ebooks and software and ebooks to use and resell (several of which I use on a regular basis myself).

Screenshot of the Ultimate Wealth Package members area.

Not sure how you would use PLR articles and ebooks? The possibilities with PLR are endless, you can edit them, rewrite parts, add to it, read it out loud and turn it into an audiobook, make a viral report or ebook to generate traffic to your website, use the content for your blog or website, make it into an ebook you can sell or offer as bonuses.

This is no magic button, but if you are prepared to actually do something with the information / products in the Ultimate Wealth Package, then it is definately good value for money and could certainly jump start your earning potential online.

Writers Block

You have everything ready, a drink, a snack, the topic, and even reference material. You sit down ready to start writing, and it happens. You are stuck, your mind is blank and you have no clue how to fill the pages in front of you. It is a writer’s worse nightmare come true.

You have writer's block.

First you need to figure out why. There are a multitude of things that could be causing it. Stress is one of the biggest factors that causes writer's block. Whether it is stress caused by personal matters, deadline dates, or simply fearing your work won’t be good enough, stress can block the words from flowing as easily as they should. A lack of sleep is another common cause - when working to a strict time deadline it is hard to believe that stopping to sleep can be a good idea, but sleep deprivation prevents your mind from functioning at its full potential. Getting a good night’s sleep is imperative to having a clear mind and being able to focus.

It could be the project itself that is causing the writer's block. A topic you are not interested in can easily turn your normally resourceful mind into jelly. The research on that topic turns into a grueling task. Trying to put the words on paper so that they make sense and will peak someone’s interest seems impossible. If a topic has personal meaning to you it can be hard to write objectively about it. Writing because you have to, not because you want to makes it hard to concentrate and focus. A simple informative topic can easily become a personal rant session.

Thankfully, writers block is not permanent. Identifying the underlying cause is the hard part.

Ways To Overcome Writer's Block

Relax.

The world is not going to end if an article isn’t as perfect as you feel it should be. Just because you don’t think it is perfect doesn’t mean someone else won’t. Go and read some of your previous writings, or perhaps something from one of your favourite authors. Even if what you read has nothing to do with your current topic, it can be inspirational to you. Don’t burn yourself out on a topic. If you are writing articles try to split up the writing process. Research and brainstorm one day and write the next. This will give you time to think about your topic and figure out the angle you want to write.

Talk your way through it. Call a friend or colleague and chat. Tell them the topic you are working on and get their opinions or ideas. They may be able to offer a fresh insight.

Make yourself a schedule and stick to it. If your schedule says 500 words by noon, write your 500 words and stop. Even if you don’t have a project going, by writing daily you will stick to your schedule and keeps your imagination going. If you write from home, which most freelance writers do, make a quiet time and treat it like a real job. If you have young children at home, write while they nap. Let your answering machine be your secretary - if it is important they will leave a message.

Work on multiple projects at one time if you can. Bouncing back and forth between a few topics can keep your mind hopping and will keep boredom at bay. Take a break from you current project and write about something that motivates you. Chances are once you get those creative juices flowing they will continue into your next project.

Take a nap. Some writers find that taking a nap can break their writer's block - the time spent napping recharges their brains and refreshes them enough to get back to writing. Other writers, however, would consider a nap a waste of time and would rather hop on to a different project while they are waiting for their creativity to get going again.

Take a break from thinking: walk the dog, sit in the park, do a bit of gardening, even doing the washing up can break a writers block (several times I have found inspiration starring out of the kitchen window up to my elbows in soap suds!)

Most importantly
REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED WRITING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Even the best of the best have suffered from writers block at one time or another.

Figure out what works for you after a series of trial and error so that the next time writer's block strikes you know what to do to get yourself back on track. GOOD LUCK!

Building A List

Building a list is essential in business. Keeping in contact with your customers builds a relationship, and keeps your business in front of them. For example, my garage has my car and address details, when it is time for a service I get a reminder (and details of how to book it in with them). I also get a leaflet offering a valeting service (an example of a joint venture between my garage and the valeting company). There is no rule saying I have to use the same garage each time, but I am happy with the work they do so why wouldn't I? The reminder is helpful, the valeting service is convenient. I am happy. They are happy. Happy repeat customers and referrals is what keeps businesses in business. Whether your business is in the online or the offline world it is important that you build your list.

As you are (presumably) working from home, you are likely to be using the internet as your main contact point for your clients / customers. Go through your email address book and see how many contacts you already have that you can send offers to. This will basically be anyone you’ve already sold to. This means there is an existing business relationship there.

It might take a couple of weeks to build up a list if you’ve not already got one but as the Internet ‘gurus’ say ‘The gold is in the list’ and once you’ve got it treat it like a valuable asset (because it is) and it’ll provide you with an income if you use it well.

Basically the best and quickest way to build a list is to offer a value for money product for free. If I was in a band, I might offer a free track from my latest album. A graphic desginer might offer a set of free website headers or buttons. An author, might offer a free newsletter. Whatever it is must be of value to your subscribers. You can see my free offer on this blog (the news & tips offer).

It’s a good value, quality video training package that originally sold for $74.85 when purchased individually and is now available for free. All I ask in return is that you join my mailing list by giving me your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time from the list but my hope is that once you see the offers and information I mail to you, you’ll stay with it.

Now the better quality the product the more people will subscribe to your list. It’s worth buying a good quality ebook or software package relevant to your business / work (that you are allowed to give away and not just sell) to maximise your list. The video products in my newsletter offer, can in fact also be given away by my subscribers. So if they are products that would be of interest to your subscribers, please feel free to use them for your own offer :-)

Are You A Pelican Marketer?

If you are working from home on your own business, then your long-term success depends on your ability to gain repeat orders and recommendations from a list of loyal customers - BUT you MUST look after your list. You need to develop long-term relationships with your customers built on mutual trust and respect.

Are You A Pelican Marketer? by Willie Crawford

Watching the pelicans catch fish near my house reminded me of how some online marketers behave. These pelicans fly high over the water where the unknowing fish don't notice them. The pelicans spot a big fish and dive at high speed into the water. A few seconds later the pelican surfaces and gulps down the fish.

There's only one problem with the way this particular species of pelican fishes. Their method eventually leads to their demise. You see, as the pelican dives into the water at high speed, intensely focusing on the target fish, he is damaging his eyes. Eventually, these pelicans go blind, then they starve to death.

There are other water bird that slowly swim along, and when then spot a fish, they dive for it and seem to have just as much success as the pelicans at getting a meal. Their tried and true method provides them with a nice meal too. Swimming along looking for fish rather than flying above the water has other hazards, but they don't blind themselves in the process of getting a meal!

Many online marketers, are "pelican marketers." They fly high above the market place looking for an unaware victim or prospect. Then they swoop down forcefully and offer them a product or service that the marketer really doesn't even believe in. He eats that day, he makes a profit. However, in the process he often destroys all possibilities of repeat sales. He burns the bridge to future business, in effect "putting out his own eyes."

The non-pelican marketer knows that to enjoy a steady lifetime of fish, he needs to do 2 things:

1) He needs to make sure he offers his customers and prospects things that will really improve their lives. He needs to serve the customer rather than using him.

2) He needs to develop a marketing system, or plan that isn't centered around one-shot sales. Instead, he needs to develop a line of products that provide him with a steady stream of orders from the same customers. How do you do this? You develop a stream of products that all solve your target market's problems.

Using pelican marketing - not developing long-term relationships with your customers, means that you must constantly search for new customers. For long-term business success, it's much more profitable to focus most of your energy on serving existing customers. Then instead of seeking new customer full-time, you spend a small portion of your time prospecting. The majority of your customers will come from repeat business and referrals from your happy existing customers.

Examine your marketing efforts today. Ask yourself if you're a pelican marketer. If you are, open your eyes to the fact that this will likely lead to your ultimate demise. This is a fact of life for the pelican marketer. This is a fact of life for the pelican. The only really old pelicans I ever see are those that hang around fishing piers receiving handouts from sympathetic fishermen.

Take Control Of Your Time

Did you know that rich people value their time much more than they value their money?

That's right!

Success comes to those people who can manage their time according to their priorities. It is due to the fact that they can finish doing important tasks at a certain period of time without rushing things and without becoming reckless.

Thus, coming up with remarkable results is no surprise to them. So, are you willing to change your life?

Are you willing to establish a more organized living, to use your time wisely, and to start doing things now rather than the day before the deadline?

Putting Yourself in Time-Out

A mom’s work is never done. This is especially true for entrepreneurial moms. As you devote your time, energy, and enthusiasm to your new business venture, don’t leave out the most important part: taking time for you.

You have to take care of yourself from time to time. Not only do you need the occasional break - you deserve it! Give yourself a time-out to do something you enjoy, or just to relax, even if it’s only for a few minutes a day.

Need a quick pick-me-up? Try one of these rewarding and refreshing activities:

• Go for a walk. If you have babies or toddlers, take them along for a stroll.
• Soak in a soothing tub, enhanced with your favorite bath oil scents.
• Curl up on the couch with a good book or movie.
• Reward yourself with a decadent snack. Stop working for a few minutes and enjoy the experience.
• Write a letter to a friend and share the good news that you’re starting your very own business.
• Meditate.
• Spend ten minutes snuggling with your pet.
• Subscribe to your favorite magazine. Drop everything when the latest issue arrives in the mail, brew some coffee, and enjoy every page.
• Get a manicure, pedicure or professional massage.
• Arrange a “date” with your spouse.
• Take your children to the playground - and get on the swings, the slide, or the merry-go-round with them.

Most of all, congratulate yourself! You’re starting on the road to a rewarding lifestyle and career independence.

Time vs Money - How to save both by outsourcing

How much is your time worth? If you see yourself staring down fourteen-hour workdays in order to develop and run a successful home-based business, you may want to consider outsourcing.

Outsourcing simply means paying someone else to perform certain tasks for you. Of course, the turnoff word here for many people is “paying.” You’re starting a business with the intent of making money, not spending it - right?

In many cases, the money you spend for outsourcing will actually mean greater profits. By hiring an expert to handle those tasks that would take you longer due to your lack of experience, you save time - time which you can then spend doing those things you are experienced with.

When it comes to choosing which tasks you should look for someone else to do for you, a good rule of thumb is “do your best, outsource the rest.” If a task involves skill areas you haven’t developed, hire an expert.

Here are just a few of the tasks you can easily outsource:

• Website content and copy writing
• Website design
• Website maintenance
• Internet research
• Data formatting
• Search engine submissions
• Sales letter writing

Websites you can look to outsource at include:
Guru.com Elance.com RentACoder.com

If you are a freelancer yourself, maybe you could use the above to offer your own services :-)

Let Your Kids Help You

If you have never given your kids a real chance to help you out during the day then you should really give it a shot.

Kids of almost any age can pitch in and help. Even young children can learn to help you in your daily responsibilities. Whether your kids take their own plates to the table for lunch, or if they help you to tear up and scribble all over paperwork which you no longer need, they are helping you get through your day a little faster. If your kids are engaged in activities which are helpful to you, you'll be able to get things done a little faster while your kids get a chance to feel as though they are being helpful. You might be surprised at how eagerly your kids jump right in and help you.

Accept Assistance

Working from home while raising kids can be tough. Many women fall into the trap of not only trying to do it all, but also of not accepting assistance because they feel as though they may seem to not be in control if they allow people to help them. One of the best time management tips you can ever receive is this: allow other people to help you.

Where do the hours go?

If you feel as though you aren't quite as time-efficient as you should be, then it may be time to first figure out where all your time goes right now. It may be that you are spending more time in front of the television or surfing the internet than you initially thought you did. The only way you can hope to become more efficient with your time is by figuring out where you are wasting it.

Keep A Log

Try logging all your work activities for a day or two. If you keep a detailed record of what you do throughout the day, you will soon be able to see where your time is going. You may actually be quite shocked to find out that you spend inordinate amounts of time doing things which are not all that productive at all, and which don't benefit your work life or your time with your children. This is similar to when people start logging where they spend their money…oftentimes they are shocked to find out that they are wasting a good amount of money on stuff which they don't really need at all. The same goes for your time; you might be spending a lot of time of stuff which you don't even realize you are spending a lot of time on. Take a day or two to write down everything you do in addition to the amount of time it takes up, and then sit down and analyze where all your valuable time is being spent.
