One of the things we discovered early on in looking outside of "internet marketing" (into areas we knew little or nothing about) is the fact that we didn't need to create the content for products in these tiny "niches."
All we needed was a good idea and then we get someone else to contribute the information for our products. You can do the same thing that we did.
There are a couple of really easy ways to profit from "other people's information" without writing a single word yourself:
1. Hiring a Ghostwriter.
There are professional writers at your disposal who anonymously craft the content for your information product.
You pay them a one-time, agreed upon fee in exchange for them writing every word of your product on any topic you choose. (But remember, there's a proper way of doing this! If you fail to follow some key steps, you can get burned, big time!)
There are no ongoing royalties to pay or any other additional fees. You own the exclusive rights to the completed product to sell and keep 100% of the profit.
The advantages to hiring a ghostwriter are tremendous:
* You can have products created for any great idea you have, regardless of your own level of knowledge or experience (or even interest!) in that area.
* You can develop an entire arsenal of flaming-hot, highly in-demand products in a very short amount of time without any procrastination or delays.
* You can avoid spending any time at all in the content creation process trying to get it all done... your ghostwriter handles everything for you. EVERYTHING!
Complete details are available below on how to find and profit from your own ghostwriter. (Here's a hint: This can be very inexpensive -- even free.)
2. Interviewing an Expert.
Another option for getting completely free content for your information product is to conduct an interview with a qualified expert on a desirable topic.
The interviewee would answer a series of questions related to their field of expertise, which you would convert into a product and sell as your own. The great thing about this technique is that it doesn't cost a thing.
You spend absolutely nothing.
In essence, you get your information product for free. Again, the topic of your interview can be on just about anything:
* Find an eBay Power Seller and interview them for their secrets to successful auctions...
* Find parents who have home schooled their children and ask for their tips on making it a productive experience (and an enjoyable one, too)...
* Find a golf pro and seek their input for what it takes to become a better golfer at varying levels of experience...
* Find a former car salesman and interview them for ways to get the best price on a new car...

7 Thing You Need To Make Money On Line
The real money comes when YOU have a product to sell, because then all of the affiliates, joint venture partners, ezine publishers and so forth can all be sending traffic to your site and making YOU money hand over fist.
We don't know you.
And we don't know if you can write a coherent sentence. How could we possibly promise that you're able to write 50, 100 or even 200 pages of content for a product?
No one is telling you what you need to know -- most people AREN'T writers. It doesn't come easy for most people. It's frustrating and overwhelming to sit before a blank screen and try cranking out page after page after page for a product.
It's not your fault.
And, trust us when we say, you're not alone.
Most people aren't writers.
And that can actually be a GOOD THING. Because, you've got better things to do with your time (like soccer ! :-) than spend it wracking your brain for what to say and how to say it for a product -- when you don't need to do that at all.
Because the shocking truth is...
Just a single idea that -- to be perfectly honest with you -- could relate to virtually anything...
* Your hobbies or interests...
* Your career or job...
* Your family relationships...
* Your civic involvements...
* Your pets...
* Your medical history...
* Your travel experiences...
* Your life achievements...
* Your parenting insights...
* Your goals and aspirations...
* Your feelings and emotions...
* Your love life (or lack thereof)...
* Your health and well-being...
Or, it could be an idea that doesn't have anything to do with you at all! Something a friend told you was popular... Something that you saw on the cover of a magazine... Some trend that was talked about on the evening news... Or some new technology that's been released.
It could be anything...
* Scottish Terriers...
* Battling Depression...
* Radio-Controlled Cars...
* Traveling to Orlando...
* Chicken Recipes...
* Selling Used Books...
* Buying a Car...
* Hunting and Fishing...
* Reducing Stress...
* Kitchen Design...
* Homeschooling...
* Having a Yard Sale...
* Surfing the Internet...
* Playing Golf...
* Single Parenting...
* Gardening...
* Getting a Pay Raise...
* Losing Weight...
... And that single idea CAN be converted into the lifestyle that you've been expecting for so long.
7 Things You DON'T NEED
1. You don't need to be a writer!
Surprised? Don't be. You don't have to be the one to write the content for your information product. There are several different ways to get other people to do every bit of the writing for you...and you still get to keep 100% of the profit! We explain how it works below.
2. You don't need to have "million-dollar" ideas!
It seems most people have this misconception that they need to come up with the "perfect" idea that no one else has ever thought of before so they can "strike-it-rich." Wrong.
You can be incredibly successful without a lot of creativity and blockbuster projects. All it takes is one tiny idea to get the cash flow started. More details below.
3. You don't need to be an expert!
We've made a lot of money with products ranging from "scrapbooking" to "interior design" to "becoming a chef."
Trust us when we tell you that we know basically nothing about any of those things! Truth is, you don't need to know anything about the topic of your information product except that people are interested in it! We show you how to pre-test any idea you have and then hand it off to someone else to actually create the product for you.
4. You don't need to find a "gazillion" customers!
One of the "missing ingredients" in virtually all "create a product" courses is the lack of teaching on "backend strategy." We show you how to take a single customer and get them spending money with you for months and even years to come... well after they bought your product from you!
How? By setting up an completely automated, "autopilot system" that multiplies the amount of money you make off each customer means you don't need to find as many customers.
5. You don't need to have a list!
Let's face it, there are a lot of really profitable "niches" out there that you haven't tapped into yet (nor have others!)... so how could you have already have a list to market a product to for those target audiences? You couldn't.
And you don't need to!
Funny thing is, we actually share with you how to build an incredible list as you go along so you end up getting a list at no cost to yourself.
6. You don't need a lot of time!
Got a month? That's all it takes to actually get your own 100% exclusive product created for any idea you can think up, and actually begin selling it and making money. (It can actually be done in less than a week, but we don't want to get too carried away.)
The important thing is this: you don't need to wait months and months and months before seeing results. In less than 30 days you can actually be making money, and that's exciting!
7. You don't need a lot of money!
Speaking of money, you don't need a lot of it to get your product created. In fact, there are ways to get your product created without spending a penny.
We explain how to do it below. The great news is, you don't need to get a second mortgage or sell off your sports card collection to make money with information products!
It's really not that difficult to build an ever-expanding empire of information products. All you need is an idea and a system to get the money coming in.
We don't know you.
And we don't know if you can write a coherent sentence. How could we possibly promise that you're able to write 50, 100 or even 200 pages of content for a product?

Building an Effective Knowledge Base
Regardless of job or status, it is always appealing to meet someone who has an impressive knowledge base. But it's not just about winning at Trivial Pursuit or knowing the answers on Jeopardy; people are drawn to someone who has facts and information at their disposal because it reinforces a social hierarchy. Information generates interest and being knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics can open doors to friendships, relationships and career opportunities. But how does one go about building a solid foundation of such knowledge? As a general rule, it can take a lifetime of soaking up bits of information around you to achieve this goal. But there are a few ways to quickly kick-start the journey to being a knowledge guru.
(1) Restructure your means of entertainment. If you must watch television, tune into educational programming on stations such as the History or Discovery channel. There is no need to take notes but it is important to train your mind to soak up everything it hears and sees. Cut out distractions and try not to eat while you are watching, as this inhibits your ability to pay attention. If you do happen to be watching regular programming or movies, focus on learning the actors and directors involved. Take an interest in the production and ask yourself questions like, "How did they do that effect?" or "I wonder where the idea for that joke came from?" Having an inquisitive mind makes TV less mindless and it is essential to creating a knowledge base.
(2) Trim down networking on the phone or Internet. Many of the world's greatest minds seem secluded because they do not waste frivolous hours on Facebook. Instead, do an Internet search on something you may have an interest in, like skiing. Reading quick articles on topics that interest you piques your mind to thirst for more knowledge.
(3) Purchase nonfiction books on topics that interest you. Leave them in the bathroom and around the house and pick them up whenever you have a minute. The morning and night are some of the best times to feed your brain. They need not be encyclopedias, just books that you won't mind skimming through when you have time.
(4) Nurture your inquisitive nature. Take note throughout the day when there are questions you do not know the answers to or topics you know nothing about. Make a mental note to do a quick online search and educate yourself about them later. If you have a phone with online capabilities, don't be afraid to be that person who is always searching for an answer immediately. They are the people who often have a large amount of information at their disposal. Always be curious and seek to find answers.
(5) Participate in conversations that you have little to contribute to. You will pick up information from others around you and will automatically find yourself forming opinions. Forming an opinion on something creates an interest and from there you will find yourself venturing out on your own to learn more.
(6) Heighten your overall awareness as time passes. The most important thing is to realize how much useful and useless information is floating by you every day. Once you find yourself listening and soaking up the tidbits around you, the base of knowledge will begin to grow exponentially. Don't waste time with media that contributes nothing evocative to your mind. Develop a never-ending appetite for knowledge and feed it.

How to Acquire Knowledge
As human beings we all have the potential to acquire knowledge and learn new things throughout our lives. The quest to acquire knowledge can go beyond job training or formal education and every person can benefit from making life a learning journey in which she learns something new every day.
Knowledge can be acquired through higher education but it can also be acquired through free and plentiful sources such as public libraries and the Internet.
(A) Acquiring knowledge through formal education
Enroll in a college course or a few courses that interest you. Whether you are just out of high school or just entering retirement, it is never too early or too late to gain knowledge through institutions of higher learning. .
Find colleges that offer courses or topics that interest you. Don't worry about college applications and acceptance concerns. Many colleges offer continuing education and not-for-credit courses for life-long learners. Many community colleges allow anyone with a desire to learn to take college courses.
Colleges and universities that require formal application processes may allow those interested to enroll on a non-matriculated basis, allowing them to work through a series of courses in order to become fully accepted.
Consider online courses or seminar courses offered by colleges and universities. In the Resources section you can find information on many programs.
(B) Acquire knowledge at your local library
Sign up for a free library card at your local library. There you will have access to thousands of books, videos and audio tapes. You can check out books to take home for reading and you can acquire knowledge on nearly any topic that interests you.
Visit the library multiple times a week, many libraries allow patrons to sit and read in reading rooms in the library.
Learn at your own pace. The library, unlike traditional education, has no course requirements, grading or semester schedules. You can spend a week reading a book or go through five in a day. Your quest for knowledge is set at a pace that you find comfortable.
(C) Acquire knowledge via the Internet
Browse the Internet for topics that interest you. The search for knowledge can be as simple as visiting a search engine such as Google or Yahoo! and typing in a word or topic that you want to learn more about.
Read about topics from multiple viewpoints on the Internet. Search out academic or scientific journals online or browse the wealth of knowledge that comes from everyday people posting what they know on the Internet.
Check facts and the truth behind what you find on the Internet to further increase your knowledge on a subject. Keep in mind that what you find online is not always true, but with the Internet you can check many sources of knowledge to find the most accurate source.
Join discussion forums or writing websites to share the knowledge you acquire online. You can help others learn while at the same time learning from them.

How to Be Knowledgeable In All Thing
When you think of someone who is knowledgeable, you might picture a professor who wears cardigans and glasses. While professors are generally considered knowledgeable, there are many people who fit the description. Being knowledgeable means you have or show knowledge. People who are knowledgeable use facts, information or skills on a regular basis.Below are step to follow
Learn on a daily basis. Every fact or skill you learn adds to your knowledge. You can learn tips on how to cook from someone making dinner, or you can master a computer game that you play in your spare time. Make a point to learn something new as often as possible and then apply what you learned as soon as possible.
Pick an area of study. Most knowledgeable people work to gain knowledge in a specific area like English, history or computers. Find something that interests you and then research the topic. If possible, take classes or attend seminars. Another way you gain knowledge is by finding a mentor who can teach you.
Share your knowledge. You can be the smartest person in the world, but if no one knows you have knowledge, it won't matter. You have to show your knowledge by teaching others, writing papers, hosting seminars or participating in events like Knowledge Bowls.
Look for different experiences. This may mean you have to get outside your comfort zone. Each experience can teach you something and provide you with information that connects to things you've already learned. A new experience can help you look at an old experience in a new way and lead to a new discovery.
Ask questions. Make sure that you fully understand what you are learning. When you ask questions, listen to the answer. Allow yourself time to assimilate the new information. Continue to ask questions until you fully grasp the concept
Use different sources. You can become knowledgeable by learning from people, reading books or surfing the web. Experimenting can lead to new insight as can observation.

Starting a Successful Online Business - The Personal Skills and Traits That Will Bring You Income
Are you the right person to start an online business? Here are some of the skills and personal traits you need to be a successful e-commerce business:
1. Do you have a true passion for selling a certain product or service? If you just want to start an online business or service to make money, it will be difficult to succeed. You need to spend a great deal of time and energy researching, writing about, marketing and selling your product or service, so you better enjoy it. Also, your customers will know very quickly if you share their passion. They are not going to buy products or order services from people who are pretending to be something they are not.
2. Are you committed to this challenge? No one is going to climb a mountain without a lot of training and then a strong commitment to the end goal. No one is going to become a successful singer or musician without taking lessons and putting in as many hours as possible practicing. Starting a successful business online is no different. Too many false advertisements say "Put your Web site up today and watch the money come in tomorrow!" or "Make millions of dollars by working only a few hours a day." If this were only true! Expect to make a commitment--even for a part-time business--of three to four hours a day. A successful full-time business will be even more than nine-to-five every day, and expect nights and some weekends, too, at least at the beginning. In the past, when you have started other ventures, were you able to stay on point and see them through to the end?
3. Are you always keeping up to date on your areas of interest? Are you interested in trends and what's going to take place in the future? People who start a successful e-commerce business or online service are forward-thinking. They recognize that the Internet changes so quickly that anyone who wants to be successful has to spot trends and determine the changes your business will need to make in the future to keep up to date. Your customers or clients are going to demand that you offer the latest and greatest items for sale and services to make their lives healthier, more enjoyable or overall better.
4. Are you willing to take the time to find a niche that fits still unmet needs? Many of these niches are out there waiting to be filled. You just have to spend some extra time doing the research, reading and traveling around the Internet. When you find a new niche that is of interest to a sizable group of people, you are taking the first big step to starting a successful online business.
5. Do you enjoy the various aspects of running a business, such as developing a marketing plan, accounting, researching and ordering products, taking inventory and pricing and writing up product descriptions? Are you interested in meeting your customers' needs, answering their questions and providing them with necessary information? It is not necessary for you to have a business degree, but taking a quick online business course before starting could be helpful. Instead of becoming a business guru, focus on thinking clearly, logically, innovatively, and having strong management and organizational skills.
No one makes millions of dollars overnight on the Internet. Yet, many have and continue to make millions with their businesses or services. However, this takes a very committed person who is very willing to put in the many extra hours to run the business, help customers, and continually gain new knowledge. Before spending money or putting in time and effort, make sure that you are the right person for this type of work. If you are not sure, start slowly with a part-time effort and see if you like what you are doing and have the time to devote. Then increase your hours.

How to Be Successful Online
Since the creation of the internet by Sir Tim Berners-Lee it has evolved and expanded into a multi-billionaire dollar business. The internet has so much potential to make your business money. The internet contains around 182 million websites and this number is growing everyday, therefore making yours stand out and be seen is more difficult than ever!
Being successful online is all about giving your customers what they want; whether that be products that you sell or services that you offer. How you deliver this online is very important. When a potential customer lands on your website for the first time they need to know what you do within a few seconds, if its not clear here then you will lose out. Once you have a customer there you should work on keeping them there. So how do you do this? To start with a great design always goes down well but more importantly its the content that counts, a potential customer or visitor is coming to your website for a reason, simply because they have searched for something and your site has popped up therefore they expect to find the information they are after.
To simplify this - I search for "how do I get a passport" in Google and your website appears within the search results. When I click on your website I expect to find out how I get a passport, if I don't get the information I am looking for then you are doing something wrong.
It is simply about providing content that is relevant and useful to your target audience.
Internet Home Businesses Cover the Internet, Are You Tired of Being Deceived?
I have been interested in internet marketing for some time now and have been looking into internet home businesses all over the internet. They all seem to have a common denominator and that is you pay for something and have to figure it out for yourself. There are very few internet home businesses that have people available to help 24/7 and a mentor that has already taken the trail before you.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a group of people that help you succeed in the things you do online? That sense of community is critical to making it through the rough times in any internet home businesses. I would not know how to go about it alone without any help and I believe it would be very discouraging. I have been disappointed with the amount of internet home businesses that do not provide support. It seems that once they got your money their main office turns into a ghost town.
In my years of searching online I have run into many businesses that are all the same. They get your money and you get to hunker down for the famine. You struggle to figure out what you are doing and get no help in return. How are you supposed to make money online then? How many internet online businesses actually want you to succeed? Or are they just looking to sell you their next big thing?
Well I was lucky to find a business that has people to help 24/7 and a mentor that makes money on the internet. There is a great group of people that want to help you succeed. This is a formula for success on the internet and I am glad that I was lucky enough to find it and look forward to building this great business.

10 Things You Can Learn From Your Website Analytics
If you have a website, then you'll want to know how it is being used, be able to measure how successful it is, and see what improvements you can make.
Here's what you need to know.
1. Website analytics can be used to show you the number of visitors to your website over a given time period. Perhaps you want to know the total number of visitors you get each week, or each month. What visitor information will be useful to your company?
2. Knowing which countries your visitors come from can help to localise your content. Your visitors might come from abroad, and so it might be worth knowing whether you should develop a foreign language site, or which cities would benefit from a branch of your shop, for example
3. Being able to see how long visitors spend on your site can tell you how much of your site visitors actually read. You might be surprised to learn just how long the average site visit is.
4. By seeing which keywords are used to find your site, you can make sure that your website is being found for the keywords you expect to be found for. Are people looking for your products by name or function, or are people searching for your company name? Is your traffic coming from search engines, links, or from people typing in your domain name?
5. It might be interesting to know which days see the most traffic. Perhaps your site is busier at weekends, or is consistently busier on a certain day of the week. Why could this be? What can you do with this information? How can you use this to tailor your offline and online marketing?
6. You'll want to know which pages are the most and least popular, so that you can make sure that your message is being seen by all your visitors. You might also want to know which pages don't get any views at all, or which get more than you'd expect. You can also see which pages visitors arrive or leave on, you can see how people are using your site. Your home page might not be the most landing popular page, and your order confirmation page might not be the page that people leave on.
7. The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who leave your website on the page they landed on. This can mean that they have found the information they want, such as contact details, or opening hours, but it can also mean that visitors are finding what they expected, and so are leaving straight away.
8. By setting up funnels and goals, you can accurately track how your site is used, compared to your requirements. Perhaps you want to track how many people fill in your contact form, or purchase from you after using the search feature, or download your podcast after reading your About Us page.
9. You can also install tracking software to see how much revenue your site makes, and which products or pages are the most profitable, and the conversion rates. What can this information tell you, and what can you do with it?
10. Thanks to comprehensive reporting abilities, you can see all this information on an easy to read format, which is suitable for those less technical people, or those who just want to know the basic facts about visitors and pages.

Frustrations of the Newbie - The Basics For Internet Business Success
Many will tell you places and platforms to use that will create success for you online, and many will tell you the tricks on how to outsmart many programs with many search engines. These are not the basics. The basics have been around forever and for those who are successful with their Internet businesses, they know this already. So here are a few of the basics that can help you find success on the Internet.
Basics are simply that, they are the basics such as; determination, action and decision. I would like to start with decision because this is the moment that you actually come to which will be the defining step in the direction of your success in any business, online or, offline for that matter. You have to make a decision it is a basic fact for success in anything on the Internet, it is the beginning of the road you are about to travel down. Are you looking on the Internet for some other way to create the life that you want that your current job or career will not give you? The answer is yes! or you would not be reading these words. You have to make the decision to move forward once your due diligence is done. I have a rule for myself when working with a prospect and it is that when all the questions are done, and answers given...I ask for a decision. They either move forward or they DECIDE to move backward. For those that do not make any decision at that point I make it for them and I MOVE ON to the next prospect because I cannot help you travel any further than you will go.
Once you have decided on what you want to do, it will take determination at the beginning to see that each goal you set is met. Determine the realistic goals you have for the business you have chosen to undertake, and determine to meet each goal at each specific time you chose. I specifically set myself a goal for the amount of time for me to recoup my initial investment in my business and I was determined to meet that goal. I did, and sooner than I thought. Determination: The quality of being determined to do or achieve something; firmness of purpose. The purpose is the meeting of your goals, be firm, be determined to meet them. Determination is a must attitude to acquire when it comes to the basics for any success to be found on the Internet.
READY... SET... ACTION! Action is needed and you will need to do something each and every day. Many Internet businesses might tell you that they are almost fully automated and this may true, but still, this is not "fully" automated. There will action and work involved and usually more than you think. Massive action is one of the basic fundamentals for success in any business, just as decision and determination. There are no free lunches anywhere and that includes any business on the Internet you choose to start or join. Action will be required here, but this action takes little amounts of time out of your day, not 8 hours of it for someone else's benefit. This work could be only minutes to maybe an hour depending upon you and your goals.
The basics to any Internet business are the same basics that have been for brick and mortar businesses for as long as there has been "business". It takes the basics of decision to go for it after all due diligence is done. It then takes determination to see whatever it is you have undergone to its completion, and remember, it is never truly complete because you will always learn and add that learning to your business. Action will be needed, even on the Internet. You will need to do the work that is required to have a successful business.

2. You don't need a lot of money to start.
Many people think that starting your internet business will cost them a lot of money. Usually if you want to start right you have to spend something, but that is not a lot. You have to buy hosting and domain. It will cost you around $10.00 for.com domain and around $40.00 for 6 months of hosting. You can always go with free option and use free hosting or some free blog platform like Blogger.
3. You don't need to know how to build a web page.

Why Should I Learn Internet Marketing, Is it a Valuable Skill?
When I first came in to contact with internet marketing it was through a company called Carbon Copy PRO. The pitch to join them was that they would teach you how to sell anything, to anyone, anywhere and that once you knew how to market online you would have a valuable skill that would allow you to succeed in any business.
I listened to the sales pitch and it made sense to me, but I still had my doubts. I joined Carbon Copy PRO and figured that at least I could make some money selling their products and if I happened to learn something valuable and marketable so much the better.
Then something amazing happened and my eyes were opened to the true value of the skills I have learned. I was at a Real Estate Investors Convention. I was there because my wife is an investor and I was sort of aging along. I was asked to share something that would be of value to the group. I told them that I was an Internet Marketer and I knew how to use social media, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to build brand recognition and direct traffic to a website.
They practically swarmed over me asking for information! Here I was surrounded by a group of 6 figure earners and self made millionaires and they were mobbing me like I had the key to Fort Knox in my hand, and so I did. It turns out that what I have learned by studying Internet Marketing is much more valuable than I had realized. It is transferable and useful to any business and that makes it powerful.
I started promoting my wife's real estate business about 2 weeks ago. Her website isn't even live yet, but I built her Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube and LinkedIn profiles. I posted some tweets and updates and linked her accounts. She has already seen some very profitable business from just these sources.
Now I understand the power of these skills. It is just like going to college to earn your degree except that it doesn't cost you $100,000 or 4 years of your life. You can state making money within a couple of months. You can learn to this just like I did. It does take dedication and hard work to master these skills, but it isn't rocket science. Once you learn the basics you can quickly get up and running.
When I began this journey I really didn't know what to expect. Three months later I was able to quit a full time job I had held for thirty years. Now I am happy to work from home along side my wife who is enjoying greater success in her business thanks to my marketing skills.
3 Facts About Online Business
1. Instant money/success does not exist for online businesses...
Everyone on the net is anonymous. The seller and you don't know each other. Even the emails you receive are mostly automated. Why would shoppers buy things when they have no guarantee that it will show up?
Well, the reasons are there, reputation and testimonials. This is why you need to slowly build your trustworthiness and create very satisfied customers from the ones that do buy without much "proof" from you. Your reputation as an online business will decide your fate, and building a solid rep takes time. Therefore other than little sales, there is no getting rich in a day for online businesses.
2. Viral marketing is like gambling
When doing viral marketing, remember that while the payoff can be big, it goes away just as quick as it came to you. OR nothing could happen at all. You could promote and promote and still get no money or commissions.
If you do use viral marketing, use it for making a onetime lump sum to finance your fledgling online business. Other than that as said before it could be a huge waste of your time if you try to make a living off it.
3. It's an actual job, even building your website is...
When you have a website, you are there for the world to see. But, the world won't see it unless you do some advertising and promoting. Where are places to promote? Obviously there are ways to pay people for getting traffic to your site. However, there is also free advertising/promotion...
They are called search engines. You know the big names where you go to find something on the net. Getting to the top pages of a search engine will give dramatic increases in business. Getting to those top pages takes time and methods so involved you won't believe it. If you stick it out and practice the techniques and do things right, over time your ranking on the search engines will improve.

How to Get Profit From Your Website
You've done the research, found a niche market and created a product that your customers would like to buy. However, sales remain sluggish and you don't know how to increase your income. You wonder if setting up a website will solve your problems. The options listed below give you an idea of how to make the most of your website. To make more sense of the options, assume that you've written and published a cookbook that specialises in Thai cuisine. You currently have 500 copies of this cookbook which you'd like to sell as fast as possible.
Option 1: Selling your own product.
On your website, you show your customers the benefits of buying your cookbook. You also display your email address and have a 'Buy This Book' button that allows your customers to pay for your cookbook online. Selling the cookbook in this manner allows you to have total control over each sale. As your cookbook is self-published, you will know how much money you spent to publish it. Therefore, you can fix a retail price that is higher than your cost price, but lower than what your competitors charge for similar books. In addition, you will sell directly to your customers and 'cut out the middle man'. For example, a similar cookbook might sell for $20.00 elsewhere. The cost price of your cookbook is $8.00. Even if you fix a retail price of $14.00, you will make a profit of $6.00 on each sale.
Option 2: Drop-ship products.
Drop-shippers keep clients' stock in warehouses. Upon receipt of notification from the clients that a sale has been made, the drop-shipper will pack the order and send it to the clients' customers. With your cookbook, you will begin by arranging for a drop-shipper to store all 500 copies of your cookbook. A customer visits your website and pays $14.00 for your cookbook and $7.00 for postage and packaging. When you receive the order, you send an email to the drop-shipper with your customer's name together with postage and packaging information. The drop-shipper packs the cookbook, puts your label on the package and sends it to the customer.
The drop-shipper will bill you for the wholesale price of your cookbook - assume that the wholesale price is $9.00 for the cookbook. The drop-shipper will add the $7.00 fee for postage and packaging. However, as you have passed the postage and packaging fee to the customer, you have just netted a profit of $5.00 (the retail price minus the wholesale price of your cookbook). While it may seem lesser than what you might earn if you sell the cookbook directly to your customer, remember that you did not use any of your resources to store the stock. The only effort you made to fulfill your customer's order was to send an email to your drop-shipper.
How to Make Money Quick and Easy - Why it Won't Work For You!
I can almost bet that if you get on the Internet and try to make money quick and easy it's not going to work for you. How can I be so sure about this? How can almost be positive that you're going to fail? Well the answer is rather simple when you think about it. When I first got on the Internet this is all that I tried to do. All I wanted to do is make quick cash and I didn't really look at this as a business.
So I'm here to tell you that this is a real business and you have to respect it and treat it as such. If you don't you're not going to make any money... those are just the facts. There are tons of people out there who fail every single day and it's mainly because they came in with the wrong mindset.
You have to have the desire. Sure there may be a time that you make money quick and easy with a certain program but more than likely you will not keep up that hot streak for you. You're going to hit a point where things get rough and your desire is going to either keep you in the game or take you out of the game.
I have spoken to many people who simply failed because they came in thinking that this was a get rich quick industry and that if they just put in some money they would get tons of it back tenfold... of course it didn't work out like this for them and it never does.
Start thinking right. Start being smarter by your decisions and where you choose to put the money you invest. This is going to play a crucial factor in your own success on the Internet.
Make the decision today to pick a business opportunity, and a niche that people are paying money for the products and services they have, learn all you can and grow from there. That's when you start making real money.
Why a Web Presence is Essential to Make Money Online - Five Free Ways to Start Today
For the online business owner a digital presence on the world wide web is crucial if you are going to brand yourself and attract buyers and customers to your website. Yes, you have your replica business opportunity website, but why would I buy from your site when I can visit a thousand others? Your web presence will distinguish you and your product from a thousand similar offers.
Digital real estate is your piece of the web, where your name, thoughts, ideas, opinions and advice can be accessed by anyone. Your presence in cyberspace will help a buyer form an impression about you and what you stand for. First impressions count so you must ensure it's a positive one. Your web presence gives you added weight and substance to people. People buy people first, then they buy from them.
You can establish a basic web presence with little or no cost and here are FIVE ways to start your web real estate portfolio today.
1. Facebook: If Facebook was a country, it would be the fifth largest by population (Feb 2010). This is a huge community of people from all over the world united by a common cause or business and trade or by simple good old fashioned friendship. Sign up is free and you can put up a detailed profile of yourself and your business with links and contact details. Some online business owners do all of their business through Facebook... but that's another story!
2. Twitter: Great for short bursts of info, updates and links to stories of common interest and value in 140 characters or less. Free to join.
3. Blogs: Blogging is the best way to provide detailed information about a subject, topic or niche that you have an interest in. You can set up a blog about any subject that you fancy and talk about anything that you like. A blog allows you to be specific and elaborate about your subject matter. It also allows your reader to interact with you by leaving a comment about your blog. Keep your blog updated on a regular basis so that visitors will return often. Sign up with WordPress or Blogger (Google) as both offer reasonable start up blogs for free. There are other blogging services, so do search and check them out.
4. Articles: Top Internet business owners will confirm that writing articles for online article directories is simply a great way to create a web presence and to drive traffic to your main selling site. You can write on any subject that is close to you and then distribute it to hundreds of directories throughout the web. Syndication means that other sites, other bloggers, other publishers will publish your articles if it's of interest to them. This can only enhance your reputation and web kudos. A good article travels far and wide, never expires and will always be available.
5. Video: Harness the awesome power of visual marketing and add to your web real estate by posting videos on the different sites. Video is so powerful because a visitor can actually see and hear you as a fellow person who has something to say and this will form a major part in how they respond towards you. YouTube is the best known and that will serve you great but there are lots of other free video websites too. Search and be surprised! You'll need a camera or a web-cam but otherwise it's free.
And Don't Forget Your 'Who Is' Website: There's a cost on this one for hosting and domain name but is important you have a website that is dedicated to you, especially if you have a home-based online business.
Use these services wisely. There are Terms & Conditions to stick to... so make sure you do. Don't abuse these or you'll get slapped... or worse, terminated! Make your web presence even more effective by connecting all of the above service to one another by placing links on each of the services.

I cried for hours that day. I didn’t know what to do. But I did know I had to do something, very fast, before we were out on the street. I needed another income immediately. And as I was thinking about it, I asked myself: Before I make a sudden move that will tie me into another job I will hate, why don’t I consider what it is I want… and don’t want… in a job?
So first, I began thinking about what I DON’T want in a job…
* I don’t want a boss.
* I don’t want to be on anyone else’s time clock.
* I don’t want to have to wake up so early anymore, especially to that loud alarm clock.
* I don’t want to commute anymore and sit for hours…frustrated… in traffic.
* I don’t want to go to an office.
* I don’t want to be part of a business of any kind either, with troubles like a storefront, investment, inventory, employees, extensive record-keeping, or having to sell anything to anybody.
* And I don’t want anything that requires special training, education, or skills, because I don’t have any and don’t have the time to get any right now.
Then, I began thinking about what I DO want in a job…
* I want to work from home or anywhere else I choose.
* I want a job that will give me all the free time I desire to spend with my family.
* I want an income that will give me and my family more than we need.
* I want to take time off whenever I want and, I want to have plenty time for other people and for my hobbies.
* I want something that will be easy.
* I want a job that will be enjoyable.
* I want to only work a few hours a day, and only whenever I choose to.
* And I want (actually need) to start making money immediately.
And do you know what
To my surprise…two weeks after this terrible day…
I Found My Dream Work At Home Job!
It’s true, and here’s how it happened:
After thinking it over, I began expressing to people the type of job I wanted. Most people did not take me seriously. I myself didn’t know if something like this really existed. But I did make the conscious decision to keep my eyes open for it. And just two weeks later, while waiting in my doctor’s office, I met a man who was working from home, part time, for a few years. He told me his work at home job gives him all the things I’ve described, and urged me to try it out.
Well I did… and… it turned out to be the best decision of my life!
Within four months I quit my other full-time job. I now had an easy work at home job, working 1 to 4 hours a day, and making DOUBLE (and soon much more) what I was earning before in 14 hours a day! I no longer had a boss, worked as little or as much as I wanted, began paying off my debt, and watched my life completely turn around.
Fast forward to today and I’m a millionaire from working at home. I live in my dream house, buy all the things I want, do what I want, take vacations around the world, and I’m able to give my children everything I’ve always wanted to.
I have no financial worries anymore and, I feel so secure, free and happy… it’s the ultimate high in the world.
My life turned around so fast… that… I soon began sharing my story with others. And since then, I have helped thousands of other people achieve their financial dreams and goals working from home.
You may be familiar with me from the one-day work at home seminars I used to give in New York City at a famous hotel in Times Square. Others know me from the numerous interviews, podcast and teleseminars I’ve done. And there are so many people coming to me today for help and advice on getting started working from home that I’ve been called the #1 work at home consultant in America.
And now, right here, I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about making the money of your dreams from home beginning today! I’m going to tell you about the best opportunity I have ever discovered…a legitimate, proven, and easy work at home job opportunity that can make your financial dreams a reality, as it did for me and thousands of other people world-wide!
A Powerful Combination …
There are two very important changes that are happening in the world right now.
Did you know it's now estimated over 24 million people are working from home? That's a lot of people and, every year more and more people are fleeing their regular jobs to work from home.
Why the boom in people working from home?
Because it is now easier than ever before in history to make a remarkable income from home! The internet spawned new jobs that could easily be done from home with just internet access.
At the same time companies are looking for real world reviews and first hand accounts of products and services. How many times have you seen a product advertised on TV or heard it on the radio. You think about it, but when someone who you know tells you about the product you actually feel like you need it.
The internet is a way for people to discuss what they know about products. Imagine how valuable your experiences and thoughts are. Major companies are looking to hire people like you to rate their food, customer service, product reviews, and much more.
How would you like to be hired by these companies? Getting paid just to write a few paragraphs on how YOU feel about a certain subject?
Well, I have the answer for you – and that’s what my program is all about!

Important Questions in Life.
There is this story about a man that went for a walk one day. This man was confronted by a soldier who asked him, “Who are you? Where are you going? Why are you going there?”
This man was so happy that he demanded to know how much the soldier earns. When he was told, the man gladly told the soldier he will pay him twice the amount he earns if only he can be asking him these three questions every day of the week.
These are the three most important questions you need to ask yourself if you want to amount to anything in life. Those who have achieved so much with their lives have at a point asked themselves these questions.
You cannot amount to anything in life if you don’t know yourself. How you see yourself or what you think about yourself, will determine what you will achieve in life. When you see yourself as a creature of purpose, you will be able to live a life of purpose; you will be able to live a life of purpose.
Unfortunately, most people see themselves as a creature of accident, and they look down on themselves. They thought God created them without no special ability or purpose. These thoughts make them live a life of frustration and daily struggle.
For this set of people, the solution is to see themselves as a winner instead of a loser. We all need to see ourselves in the light God see us. According to Josh McDowell, a healthy self-image is seeing yourself as God sees you. When you see yourself as God see you, there will be no limit to what you can achieve in life.
For you to get to a destination you need to know exactly where you are going. It is unfortunate that so many people are living but do not have an idea of where they are going in life. A visionless life is a life that will be full of frustration.
When you have an idea of where you are going, the journey will be very easy for you and you won’t mind all the obstacles you will have to overcome. You cannot reach a place you don’t have an idea of. For you to attain any height in life, you need to have an idea of where you are going and what you want to achieve.
When you have a vision, do you know why you want to achieve it? You must know that your vision is not complete if you don’t have an idea why you want to achieve it. What purpose are you going to fulfill by achieving your vision? It is not possible for you to achieve your vision if you are not clear about why you want to achieve it. It is like going for a job interview and asked why you want the job. If you cannot state clearly why you want the job, it may be impossible for you to get the job.
Dear friend, do you know who you are? Do you know where you are going in life? Why are you going to that destination? If you are not sure of the answers you will give to these questions, it is NEVER too late. Now is the time to sit yourself down and plan your life based on these questions.
