Why Not Start Working Online?

Starting Your Own Online Marketing Business Without Money

2010-06-22T03:19:00.000-07:00

If you are new to the online marketing opportunity, you probably have asked,’ how can I start making money online without money?’ It’s the most common question people ask me in seminars. And my answer has always been the same, yes. The true is that online business just like any worthwhile venture requires money. But there are a couple of ways you can start your online marketing business without money. This is one of the opportunities the internet represents to anyone with nothing other than their desire to start their own business. You can start your own successful online business without money. Here is a five ( 5 ) step affiliate marketing strategy you can use to launch your very own successful online business without money.

Ask yours: “What will I do? “ Your passion is your greatest resource to starting and running your own successful business. What are you passionate about? Take time to find out what interest you much. Ask yourself, “What activities give me the most joy? “ And decide to build your business around your passion. The reason is that you’re most likely to be successful when you’re passionate about what you do, and besides making money only makes sense when you’re having fun doing it. And most importantly you are more willing to hang on when things goes wrong. This is important because with business things will always go wrong at some certain point in time. And so, building your business around your passion is one smart thing you can do that will energize you as you work on building your business.
Find product to sell. Now you’re about to start your affiliate marketing business. You’ve defined your passion, the next thing is to find affiliate product relating to your passion that you can sell and start making money. If you have in-dept knowledge on a particular subject and is something you’re passionate about you can create an information product on that topic and start making money selling it online or even through your local vendors. But not everybody have the knowledge to create their product reason why I am focusing this piece on affiliate marketing. If you don’t have the knowledge to create your product you can go the affiliate marketing way. Here is how. If you are passionate about pets, go to www.google.com and search for pet affiliate products. Does anyone have any problem understanding the words ‘affiliate marketing?’ This is simply an arrangement whereby you sell other people product and get a percentage of the price paid to you as commission. Are we clear? OK, we are looking for pets affiliate products that you can sell and start making money. As you search google, take note of the top site and see which one you can work with. Or simply head on to www.clickbank.com and sign for a free affiliate account with them. On clickbank search for pets products. Take your time, study the sell page of the products you find and finally settle for one or two products that you can passionately market.
Create free marketing report. Now that you have to sell, its time to start the marketing process. Create a free report for marketing your product. You’re going to give out this report free to people with a link to your affiliate product and creating sells to be making money. I will show you how in the last two steps. For now just a free report. Now, assuming you don’t have any experience on this report writing thing, how do you get a report you can use for your marketing? Go to www.goarticle.com and search for article on pets. If your product is on pet care, search for pet care articles. Make you find an article that relates closely to pet care and provides value information. We’re done. Your report is ready to go and start making money for you.
Monetize you report. This simply means turn your report to a money making tool. Here is how to do it. Add a signature file to your report. At the end of your report after you’ve given all the tips on pets care, add something like this: Learn how to make your pets like you. Click here ( put your affiliate product link here ) Now, this just an example, you can only have it like this if your product is an information product about how to make one’s pets like him. Your report is now ready to start making money; the next thing is to automate your report so that you can start marketing. Again, here is how to do it. Go to www.sendfree.com and setup a free autoresponder account. An autoresponder is an email service where you can set up a message that people can subscribe to by sending email to the autoresponder email address. If the need be go to google and learn more about autoresponder or use the resources at esndfree.com website. On your sendfree.com dashboard set up your campaign with your report. This is it, you’re done here.
Start marketing. Here we are going to use forums as our marketing platform. Go to www.google.com and search for pets forums. You will find dozen of them, but again settle for only one or two. Sign up as a member with that forum. On your profile page, write a mini ad for your free report with a link to your autoresponder email address. This will be something like this: Get a free report on how to care for your pets! Click here ( put your autoresponder email address here ). Now you are ready to start participating in the forum. Take time to have a feel of how thing work on the forum and start posting. Now, your affiliate marketing efforts is already working for you. As you are making post on the forum, more and more people will be emailing your autoresponder and reading your free report and with the link to your affiliate product at the end of your free report people will be seeing your affiliate product and a number of them will be buying and making you money.

Follow those easy steps and launch your own successful affiliate marketing business starting without the risk of investing any money.

7 Keys To Making Your Blog Successfully

2010-06-21T04:52:00.000-07:00

Blogging is one rewarding thing you can do online and it’s the easiest way to start your own online marketing business. Fortunately, just anyone can publish his own blog. With plenty of free blogging tools and resources online, anyone with half a brain and the simple desire to success can start their own successful money making blog. Enough said. I believe my introduction here gives you an insight into the opportunity blogging represents.

Now, let’s get started on the seven keys to making your blog successful. Don’t have a blog? Not to worry, I will show you how to get one. This pieces is for everyone who desire to build a successful money making blog. Either you are an established blogger with followship or just starting out with your first blog or only thinking of starting your first blog, this write up is for you. Here I reveal the same strategies used by top bloggers that make them successful.

OK, you don’t have a blog, right? Here is how you can easily start one. Go to www.blogger.com and sign up for your free blog. There are actually many blogging platforms that you can use. I recommend blogger not because it’s the best but because it’s what I use and I think it’s more easier for beginners especially if you are thinking of monitising your blog with google adsense. Whichever platform you use don’t really matter, just get your blog set up.

Now that you have a blog set up, here the seven keys that will help make success of your blog.

Key #1. Define Your Passion: Making your blog successful take time and a lot of energy, and so you will need to chose a niche that you’re passionate about and try to stick to that niche. Most successful bloggers blog on a particular niche and from the things they do you know they are passionate about their blog niche. You need a topic that drives you and keep you working on your blog even when nothing seems to be happening.

Key #2. Provide Value With Your Blog: This is probably the most important factor in creating a successful blog. You’ve have it said again and again that content is king. And that true. You have to provide some value to your readers for them to want to read your blog and come back for more. Visit zacjohnson.com, john chow blog or my own quotes blog at http://www.whynotaskmillionaire.blogger.com and you will sees what I mean by creating value. Create something that add value to your reader. The more value you create the more people that will notice your site, recommend it to friends and link to it. And you will get more and more new and regular readers..

Key #3. Learn From More Experienced Bloggers. One of the smartest thing you can do when starting out blogging is to pick a few expert in your niche and learn from them everything you can. John Chow, Zac Johnson, Charlie Page are just a few experts I follow. I visit their blogs almost on a daily basis to see what I can learn from those blogging gurus. And the true is that most of my blogging success is as a result of learning from those experts. I won’t make any recommendation for you, simply do a search on google for the top bloggers in your niche and start visiting their blog to see what you can learn from them that will help you in making your own blog successful.

Key #4. First Impressions Matter. Make your blog unique and interesting to your visitors. If you can’t afford a blog design service, look for a great free theme to use. Make sure your blog is functional, easy on the eyes and set up to be successful. Use powerful description that makes people want to stay on your blog. Check out the description on the top blogs on your niche and create something similar. John Chow say ‘ The miscellaneous ramblings of a dot com mogul ,’ Charlie Page have,’ Internet marketing for the real world’ and on my quote blog I have, ‘Life changing quotes inspired by millionaires.’ Learned something? Make you blog interesting for people to want hang out on it.

Key #5. Blog Consistently. This is a good advice for you. Write on your blog consistently. By blogging consistently you are telling your readers that your blog is active and they can always come back for fresh write up’s. People look up to your blog for fresh ideas in your blogging niche knowing you’re always going to put up something new on your blog and help you build a readership for your blog..

Key #6. Promote, Promote, Promote: Perhaps, one of the reason most people failed in blogging is the marketing. The truth be said, getting traffic to your blog is not an over night thing, it takes plenty of work. But the good thing is that you can do it. One of the sure way to promote your blog is to write quality articles and submit them to article directories. These directories are great place for readers and it will help in improving the popularity and traffic for your blog. A lot of blogs and small online publications pull RSS feeds from these directories; by being present on these directories, chances are high that your blog will also be featured on smaller online publications and this means free traffic to your blog. Take time to look around this blog http://www.whynotstartworkingonline.blogspot.com you will great ideas that will help you start generating traffic to your blog.

Key #7. Encourage Readers Participation: Great contents are wonderful, but you can do more. Find way to promote your contents and encourage participation in it from not only the community which you are a part of but also from every reader. In fact it is very important to encourage interaction from readers as it is to improve the number of readers sharing their views, thereby not only increasing the quality of your blog but also increasing the number of readers for your blog.

So, there you have it, the seven keys to making your blog successful, start working them into your blog and start making your blog a success.

Success!

YOU are not the problem!

2010-06-18T06:18:00.000-07:00

Charlie Page is one of my greatest influence on internet marketing. I follow Charlie's blog passionately. His uncommon ' know how' on marketing online is a common knowledge online. If you are just starting out online and probably facing a few challenges with your marketing efforts, I will recommend you visit Charlie's page. Here is an article by Charlie that will encourage you as you work to make success out your online efforts.

Have you ever found yourself discouraged about making money online? Wondering if maybe – just maybe – this Internet thing can work for others but it won’t work for you?
If you have felt that way before the good news is that you are not alone. Far too many today have wasted far too much of their time and treasure on “business opportunities” that promise the moon but only deliver disappointment.

You know the drill.

Promises not met
“Lessons” that should inform only make for more confusion
Support promised that never happens after you buy

We’ve all been there. I have and I’ll wager you have too.
If so I have a very important message for you today.

YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!

I mean it. YOU are not the problem. The problem, and the reason so many fail online, is the over-hyped promises that websites make to separate you from your money.
These claims are outrageous and should be stopped. You’ve heard it before, haven’t you?

“Earn $520 a day even if you have no experience!”
“This system works best if you are lazy and only want to work an hour a day!”
“We guarantee hits to your website!”
“Reach 780,000 with your email blast for only $10!”

I think somewhere P.T. Barnum is having a party. He coined the phrase “there’s a sucker born every minute” and nowhere does that ring truer than the good old Internet.
But there is hope!
There is good news, very good news. You can go from hype to hope today! I know you can do this!
Why do I say, “I know you can do this”? Because I’ve done it, and I’ve helped others do it too.
From young to old, from healthy to ill, from doing well financially to struggling to make ends meet, real people are getting real help from a few dedicated souls online.
Before I begin sharing how you can help yourself beginning today I want to repeat something important I said earlier.
YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!
I really and truly want you to say this out loud right now. “I am NOT the problem!” Say it now and say it ten times a day if you need to. But find a way to get it into your heart and head … YOU are not the problem.

YOU are not the reason why it’s so hard to get started online.
YOU are not the reason why working online is confusing.
YOU are not the reason why an estimated 99% of all people fail online.

There are things you can do to turn your situation around. Since I’m not talking with you one-on-one, and since peoples’ situations are unique, I can’t give you a personal action plan in this article.
But I can give you guidelines based on over 1000 one-on-one conversations with DOE members who have struggled too.
So here are my guidelines. This is what I would do today – and what I did years ago – to turn a seemingly hopeless situation around.
KEEP YOUR ATTITUDE POSITIVE
No matter how you go about it, you need to keep your chin up. I am NOT saying that just thinking happy thoughts will turn you around. That would be silly. But I AM saying that you won’t dig out if you are thinking negative.
When I need a lift I read. Right now I am re-reading See You At The Top by Zig Ziglar, and loving the reminder that goals work and that right thinking really is the foundation of success.
No matter how you do it, start thinking more positively today.
SEPARATE THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF
Now it’s time to do some real work. You need to make a list of what you have bought and consider if you have really tried using what you bought to the best of your ability.
Am I saying now that YOU are the problem? That you didn’t try hard enough? NO – not at all.
What I am saying is that there are certain tools, like an autoresponder, that can work wonderfully well if you know how to use them but can also be a complete waste of time if you don’t know how they work.
It’s not the tool – it is knowing how to use it that matters.
Give me a hammer and nail and you can count on a trip to the emergency room soon after. Give my friend Mark a hammer and nail and he will build you a house!
Same tools – different results.
The chances are that you have the tools you need right now to succeed online but don’t know how to use them. Making a list of what you do have is a good first step.
NOTE: I am not saying to make a list of every eBook you ever downloaded. That would take forever. I am saying however that you should make a list of everything you have bought that cost $100 or more. You might be able to go back and turn that purchase into profit.
What should you look for? It will be important for you to know if you have these things because they are the real building blocks of success online.

A web hosting account
Your own blog (working or not)
An autoresponder
Products with resale rights
Memberships to sites that help you promote
Memberships to sites that help you learn

Making your list is a good starting point for a turnaround.
WORK WITH A MENTOR
This one is so important, especially if you are confused or don’t have a rock-solid plan of action.
It might be hard, but you really need to find a person you can trust and who will help you individually. I know that can be a challenge online.
Here is how I would find my mentor if I were starting over today.

I would look at what a person does less than what they say they have done. People who need to brag about their huge Clickbank screenshots would not be on my personal list. I would look for a bit more humility than that.
I would buy their product and experience what they offer first-hand.
I would clearly communicate to them that I need guidance but am not holding them responsible for my success. Mentors don’t like that.
I would listen to that person and follow their advice and give what they say a real try, a sincere effort.

This is what I did online. I was blessed to have a few people who helped me along the way, and I will forever be indebted to them.
I think if you find a person who will work with you, and you trust them, you will find that feeling of desperation that nags you will begin to go away.
BE COMMITTED TO LEARNING
Here is the good and bad news all in one chunk. You are going to have to learn things you don’t know now but you will only have to learn them once if you have a good plan in place.
Nothing in our offline lives prepares us for things like autoresponders, matrixes, back offices or weird terms like “pay per click”. There is no pay per click offline.
One of the first things to do is learn the lingo of the Internet. If terms like ROI or CPM or autoresponder or ad tracker trip you up then making progress will be hard.
NOTE: If you are a DOE member log in and access the learning center to get my glossary of web terms. The confusion will clear immediately. So you will need to learn, but not forever. And not that much actually.
By the way, the first thing I would ask a mentor is what he or she thought I needed to know to take the first step.
FOLLOW A PROVEN PATH
The Internet is an ever-evolving medium that offers new and exciting possibilities. That’s good and bad at the same time. It’s great if you are in a position to take advantage of it; not so great if you are struggling.
Nothing is sadder than watching someone spend their hard earned money, money they can’t afford to risk, on some “new” method that is not yet proven.
I speak with members every week who are not even trying the things that are proven to work (like pay per click or ezine advertising) because they “heard” it was too expensive.
Be honest with yourself about this. Are there marketing methods you have not tried because you heard they were too expensive or didn’t work?
If you answered yes, you might have believed a lie.
That’s okay; we can fix that.
As with all things, the truth will set you free. The truth about pay per click, to use just one example, is that it’s super affordable. But it takes some learning to get it right and it’s not free. Cheap; but not free. And by cheap I mean you can get good clicks in the health or business opportunity markets for about 10 cents each, or less.
How about ezine advertising? Well, you can send a solo ad to an ezine with about 200,000 readers for about $50, sometimes less.
The bottom line is this – start with the things that are proven to work and then, AFTER you have had some success, experiment with today’s “new” marketing methods.
BECOME HYPE PROOF
This one is essential, and easier to do than you might think. It turns out that our parents were right. If it looks too good to be true it probably is.
Do people go from rags to riches with Internet marketing? Sure, but not many.
Do people with no experience suddenly start making $530 a day by “cloning” someone else’s marketing and using a cookie-cutter approach? I’ve never met one.
The bottom line here is simple. If you want to get rich quick please stop reading this article and immediately put your Visa in the freezer or give it to someone who will keep it far away from you.
Get rich quick does not exist. It’s a myth invented to part you from your money. This is nothing new. The people who were scammed by the recent Ponzi scheme artists like Madoff lost their money in large measure because they wanted something for nothing – an outrageous and immediate return that they knew in their hearts were too good to be true.
But if you want to make real money using the Internet, and are willing to learn and work, then there is very good news indeed.
If you work, learn and follow a proven path then I believe that NOTHING can stop you.
BE WILLING TO WORK FOR MONEY
This may sound downright crazy from a guy who makes his living online, but you’ve got to be willing to work offline for a bit if necessary to get the money you need to live.
I often speak with people who are so committed to “making it” online that they are using credit cards to buy Internet marketing products and passing up the chance to make money offline in order to “give their all” to making it online.
In my view, that is a mistake.
I believe Stephen Covey was right when he wrote the words “first things first” in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
First things do need to come first. And paying your bills, avoiding new debt and taking care of your family must be first. It does not matter if that is done offline or online. It matters that it gets done.
So, be willing to work for the money you need, be that at a job or as an affiliate marketer or in some other way.
One last word on this – stay open to creative solutions. Let me give you one example. This is something I have never shared before.
Do you know how I “bought” my first ezine advertising? I traded article writing (which I was good at) for ad space. Why? Because I didn’t have any money! But I could write so I bartered that for the ad space.
The rest, as they say, is history.
What do you have that you can barter? Did you know that MOST top online marketers have very little time to do things like article marketing, running their own pay per click campaigns, checking links on their websites for 404 errors or even making their own web pages or blog posts?
It’s true! I don’t know of a single successful online marketer right now who is getting it all done easily and with time to spare. Most online marketers I know (and I’m talking the big names and names you might not know) are busting their backsides to get the work done.
I know I am.
So how can this work for you? You can trade your time or talent for products or work that needs to be done instead of spending cash.
Just one idea.
Let me end by saying this again.
YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM
YOU CAN SUCCEED ONLINE!
Your success will come faster and more surely if you …

Keep your attitude positive
Make an inventory of assets
Work with a mentor
Be committed to learning
Follow a proven path
Become hype proof
Be willing to trade time for money in the beginning

If you do these things and give yourself the time we all need to find success I believe you will do very well indeed. I completely believe that your best days are in front of you and that you can prosper online no matter your age, race, income or education.
Keep your chin up – you are destined for great things!

In a comment to this article on Charlie's site, Chris Land of thegwave says:
It took me 8 years to find and dominate my niches and actually have something of worth and importance online and my own products. You hear nothing but the 1% that succeeds in the “This kid made 7 figures his first year stories” and usually you will see these guys were propped up by a guru. Usually a guru that needs a case study….
At the end of the day, have a professional write your sales letter, spend money on advertising (the DOE is where I am spending my money), sacrifice everything and if you have to, work a night job. I did and I made it. But NOT without real work, a commitment not to quit and buying information and books on what I needed to learn.

Success!

Starting Out Online

2010-06-10T11:14:00.000-07:00

Here is an article that will give you some insight into the opportunities of starting your online business I read sometime by Mike H. Howe. Mike Shares his iseas through e-books and videos at his website: http://www.mikehoweonline.com

When one finally decides to take the plunge and get an online business off the ground the mindset is normally focused on making a lot of money in a very short time period. This is one of the main reasons that an extremely high percentage give up and do not get to reap the rewards that are waiting further down the line. An online business is no different from an off line business in so far as there are things that you do have to learn and procedures that need to be followed. If one is prepared to put in some hard work and have the right mindset from the beginning then there is no reason that a very good residual income can be achieved in quite a short period of time. The internet is still in its infancy and therefore the pie is large enough for everyone to have a piece.

The Best Way To Starting Your Successful Online Business
The reply is almost always the same, it could happen but most likely it's not a good idea to think you're going to make big money overnight, because it can take months for a newbie to create a stable income from IM. Consistent income can come from a list of buyers that you can sell to over and over again. To make large amounts of money online you have to be original because if you copy anybody else you will make far less than them. It takes more than just money to make money online, especially a steady long term income. As suggested by many, first learn as much as you can. Your focus should shift to learning first and not making money until you have learned a few basic skills and understand what makes an online business work. If you are after making money online, it's going to take you some time and effort. First of all start off by setting your goals, in other words where you want to be in the future, the life-style that you desire, the type of home that you want to live in, the car that you want to drive around in because with the correct mindset, hard work and dedication there is absolutely nothing stopping you from achieving them.
Building a successful online business is a process just the same as any other type of business. There are things that you are going to have to learn, not rocket science and although you will go through stages of frustration as does everyone in the beginning, you will enjoy a lot of fun on your journey as well, then before you know it, you will have so much knowledge that you can confidently start offering your products and services in exchange for an online income. Find another way to make money at first so that you get rid of being desperate for an online income and learn the basics first, it will not take very long at all. One thing you that want to stay away from is information overload. Just find one quality method to start with and stick to it! Attract visitors to your website by offering them a free gift instead of sending them straight to a sales page. It is very important to nurture a relationship with your prospective future customers as they are the life blood of your online business. They are more likely to want to purchase products from you and you will build up a reputation of being knowledgeable about what they are interested in. The laws of reciprocity from the value you provide and the results your readers receive will begin to open up more and more doors for your business to help others by selling more of your products and are recommending you and your niches to their friends, contacts, clients, customers and professional associates.
