Tuesday, 2 November 2010

This information I will be sharing with you has been on my mind for over three months but I do not want to start what I can not finish. But now I know how to make the job easier. I will only post information on this course once a week or at most twice but I will answer questions almost everyday.

Affiliate marketing is basically acting as a middle man. You only earn something called commissions when you make a visitor buy something from a merchant site. Even so called estate agents are forms of affiliate marketers as they earn when a client buys/rents a property from the owner.

Affiliate marketing does not lend itself to only digital products as you can make commissions on physical items too. I will show you how in subsequent posts.

Without wasting your time, the course will start full fledge and I will be grateful if you do me a favour before then. If you are going to be part of this course(which is not a must) and you have your own PC and internet connection. Please do download "SEO for firefox" from seobook.com.

Let me quickly tell you what to expect so that you can prepare. There is going to be a lot of work to be done but it will be fun all the way.

NB: It will interest you to know that most of this work can be done easily without all the stress and save all the time and you can start earning quickly.I recommend you check this out http://www.crazycbcash.com/. It is just $37 about N5,500. If you want a copy pay the above sum into my GTBank Account 313/216440/1/59/0 and I will order it for you with my card.

How To Generate Killer Ideas For A Cash Windfall (1)

Sunday, 10 October 2010

Infoproduct business is very HOT today.

And it’s becoming hotter and hotter every day.
Millions of people rush to the Internet to search for information, and their number is increasing very rapidly.

The best part is that unlike some years ago that people expected to find everything for free on the Internet, now they are becoming more open and willing to “pay money” for information they’re looking for.

This all creates endless opportunities for you to make a fortune online by selling information products that provide people with the information they’re looking for.

By creating and selling your own infoproduct, you’ll have a business that makes you money 24/7 automatically.
A business you can run from anywhere in the world, anytime you like!

What you need to get started is just ONE killer product idea.

With a killer idea you can:

Create a best-selling product easily and then watch orders flood in because your “killer” product is selling itself!

• Make much more money because you keep 100% of the profits instead of only getting half of it or even less (like in affiliate programs)

• Get thousands of people to sell YOUR product as affiliates and make YOU money

• Gain high prestige and recognition as a "best selling" author

Boost your credibility in your target market’s eyes because we all feel an “author” is someone who’s a real expert and knows what he’s talking about

• Take advantage of hundreds of great opportunity doors that will open to you once you have your own product (e.g. BIG joint venture deals, backend selling strategies, and much more)

• And so on…

And remember…

What you need to get started is just one killer product idea.

There are various ways and avenues you can generate real money making ideas online. Here are a few,
i. Forums.
ii.Clickbank
iii.Keyword Research.
1v. Advertisement.

I will talk about each of them.
1. Forums.

Forums are online communities Now, the first thing you should know about forums
is that they are made up of people and usually these
people have needs. Just like any other human
community you find in real life.

Just like in human community, there is what we
call Forum Socialization. Following these principles,
here are the steps you should take immediately.

* Register an account on the forum. (Usually free)
* Learn how to use the forum. I will quickly cover this today.
* Understand the rules of the forums and stick by it
* Thrive to put out your name on the minds of the forum people
* Find out the needs of the forum people
* Meet their needs and make money

All these steps look straight forward enough but
in truth if they are unexplained, you will mess
them up EXACTLY like 80% of Nigerian forum
users do.

Let me take time to explain them here.

1. Register on The Forum

Easy as ABC. Just find the register
button and create an account. Easy as that.

2. Learn How To Use The Forum

This should be obvious but experience with
forums has shown me that this is not the case..

The two most important things you will need to
make easy money from any forum are:

* Know how to reply posts
* Know how to make posts

To reply posts, from threads you have read properly
all you need do is to reopen the post you are interested in,
scroll to the bottom of it and locate the reply button.
Hit the reply button.

Enter your own views in the box and hit send or
anything else that corresponds to that action.

To make posts of your own, just open the category
RELEVANT to the contribution on your mind. Next,
click New Post and add your contribution to the
forum.

3. Read and Understand the rules of the forums and stick by them.

Every forum has rules. Just like every other human
community. Some of these rules are unspoken but
they are there none the less.

The greatest mistake you can do on a forum is to
abuse the forum with nonsense posts which you
place just anywhere.

The forum is arranged by category for a reason.
The reason is to ensure easy flow and catalogue of
forum information and when you make posts anywhere,
anyhow, you get people mad.

I know for sure about this and I can tell you what
I do, I delete all your posts and then I delete your account.

Another thing which can really get people mad is to
make posts that are irrelevant to the forum itself.
For instance, my forum is strictly about Internet marketing.

We talk about almost nothing else. If you come over and try
to date, you are joking. If you come to my forum and try
to talk politics, you are on your own.


4. Put your name on the minds of the forum people

If all you do is welcome people in a warm way as they come
to the forum and introduce themselves, it is enough to put
your name on their minds.

Another way to make people know you, is by making
meaningful contributions to discussions.

As a rule, if you are a member of the forum, make sure
you write something daily, no matter how small.

It is very important for the system I am teaching you
to work. Also, do not forget that you should be a member
of more than one forum and repeat all these stunt on each.

In truth, just one forum can bring you N50k a month. If
you follow my strategy well, you can do far more than
that every month. So, its up to you.

5. Find out the needs of the forum people

This is critical. I will explain it in detail in other posts.
Infact it has been properly explained in this free report.
The Nairaland Report.

If you are a very good user of forums. You will find some threads very active. That is there is a relative high view and replies to that thread. This is a pointer that topic is hot and a potential money maker. A thread that has no replies and few view has no potential to make money. You must have at the back of your mind that a topic that has interest to forumites will catch more interest outside the interest.

Go to the forum you participate in and look out for what I have written above. Or visit a popular forum like www.nairaland.com enter a category you are comfortable with and before you will be presented potential money making ideas.


6. Meet their needs and make money

This is very easy to do. Once you have discovered a hot topic and what their needs are,
then you will have to meet the need and make money.

You can do meet the needs in two ways.
1. Buy resale right materials.
2. Create your own product.

Next ,open an e-mail address to receive notifications from those interested in your offer.
If I were to be providing information for those that need loans I will open a mail like interestfreeloans@ymail.com you get it and not myname@ymailcom

Next , let the forumites know that you have the solution. Just let them contact you via that e-mail you created earlier.

Then reply those that have contacted you with your sales letter and your bank details.And in no time sales will come in.

Forums can make you a lot of money using this simple tactical approach.
I used this approach to launch my e- book "How To Get Loans Without Collateral And Interest
in Nigeria" and in 6 days I sold 16 copies at 3K from Nairaland alone.

You can get round it by getting a copy of the Nairaland report.

THE PRINCIPAL THING TO MAKING MONEY ONLINE Part 1(FOCUS).

Monday, 4 October 2010

Focus on a particular business model when you get started is very important.Again I emphasize focuc. Focucs bailed me through. I will not want to bore you with my story but I will like to point out something very important.
Just like any business you need the following.

i. A viable Market.
ii. A solution to that market.
iii. Market specific traffic to what you are offering.
iv. A follow up system in place.

In order to build a sustainable business online this is exactly what you need to put in place.
I will repeat again for emphasis,you will need a target market, a clear strategy and a proven system that works.
If you fail it is because you did not follow through and not that the system failed you.

To succeed online, all you need is to focus on things that work and bring results. And also commit to taking massive action on what you have learnt.

You are expected to treat your online business as a real business and not a hobby. Except you want to fail.
So even if it is one hour daily you spend on your internet business do take it seriously as only this can deliver the loot.

Remain blessed.

Cash On Demand. . .Sales In Your Sleep!

Saturday, 2 October 2010

There is only one fool proof way I know that generates cash on demand and that
is in the power of building a targeted list of subscribers.

List building is essentially reaching out to a target audience (with a specific need)
with a solution and offering it to them at the expense of collecting their names and e-mail addresses.

You then follow them up and offer them products that can help them.
The good thing about list building is that you sell to these people over
and over again and you know what that means. MORE MONEY

The shot is this; the more subscribers you have the more money you make.
Let's take a look at the benefit of list building.

The four main benefits of list building are...

1. Get Up To 90% More Out Of Your Traffic (Instead Of Wasting It!)


The biggest reason you never make a sale is because your visitors see your
offer, leave without purchasing and then they have gone - never to be seen
again - it's a total waste of traffic!

Capture names and emails so you can follow up with your prospects!
You're wasting so much traffic if you're sending it to the pitch page directly
without capturing their name and email address first!

2. You Can Get Instant Traffic & Sales!

Once you have people's names and emails, you have control!
You can send them an email whenever you like for an instant traffic rush to
any site you want!
Send them an ad for a new offer you want to show them - and BOOM - 5
minutes later you have a flood of sales!


3. Make Sales On Autopilot Even When You Sleep!


Send your prospects hands-free follow-up emails for autopilot sales!
The amazing thing about building a list with the right tool (an auto-responder) means that
you can set it up to send emails automatically!
You can make sales even when you sleep or are away from your computer!


4. You Can Overcome The Trust Barrier!


Another big reason why your visitors don't buy from you - they don't know
you!
Building a list means you build trust. Your readers get to know you and then
feel more comfortable about parting with their money with you!

If you don't have a list, then all this may seem surreal to you...but I ensure you it's as real as you and me.
This is how I and other successful marketers experience our cash flow.
It's simple, and it works -- and you can do the same!


The question is how do I build a list?

I will outline a 4-step bare bones way to build one.
Here's the 4-step bare bones way to build a list (...beware of the simpleness)


1. Offer something enticing to give away for free
(this can be a short report, a video, audio, email course etc. but just make
sure it's related and is something that people want!)

2. Set up a simple squeeze page website
(it's called a squeeze page because it squeezes the names and emails out of your prospect)

3. Send traffic to your squeeze page
(there's that word again - traffic! get people to visit your squeeze page so they
can "submit" their details for your freebie.)

4. Follow up to make more sales!
(once your prospect signs up at your squeeze page, your auto-responder will do the rest!
They will get emails with your affiliate links automatically!)

That's all there is to it!

It's one of the most simple internet business models ever created.

There are no complicated scripts to install, no databases to fiddle with....just a plain old html website will do the trick.

Now, if you're a complete beginner or plainly have no time to create or learn to create a
squeeze page and think up an offer to attract subscribers,
don't worry because that's what I have done for you when you pick up your slot here

Have a great season..

But before that allow me to first say a big "Thank You" for
placing your trust in me when it comes to delivering
rock-solid Internet business advice that will help you build
your very own profitable Internet business from scratch.


You see, unlike all the hype that says you can earn millions
online instantly without any hard work and effort, I'm going
to be blunt with you...

...that is the single BIGGEST lie you've been fed!

It's sad but very true.

Come on, if earning money online were that easy, why is it
that 99% of people who try their hands at Internet marketing
fail miserably?

I want you to succeed online and I'm here to help you in
every possible way I can.

You might be thinking Why I'd want to help you succeed online?

It's simple really.

Once you've started to make money with the powerful content
I reveal, you'll want to be my customer for life and refer
others to me as well!

I know you're very busy, so let me share 5
valuable steps that you can take and implement TODAY to
ensure a successful 2010...

===================================================
DO THESE 5 STEPS TO ENSURE GREAT SUCCESS IN 2010
===================================================

How was 2009 for you?

For me, 2009 is definitely a great year. It moves me a
step closer to my ultimate goal, which is to achieve a dream
Internet lifestyle.

While I’m currently enjoying a decent 4-figure online monthly
income, I’d certainly want to make that to a 5 and 6 figure
on autopilot as I continue to build upon my online business.

Do you want to know how I was able to quit my job and earn
a nice 5-figure online monthly income?

Let me tell you a Secret…

I was able to do that because I took massive ACTION!

Rather than planning and analyzing every single possible
detail, I simply took Action…Massive Action.

While my friends partied all night long, I’m sat in front
of my laptop building my Internet business and online assets
every weekday, at times scratching my head trying to learn
new Internet Marketing skills.

Yes, I don’t know everything and I’m proud to admit that I
don’t know everything about Internet Marketing.

And you know what?

No Internet marketer on this planet knows everything there
is to know about Internet Marketing! If they tell you they
do, they are lying to you simply just to impress you or they
are simply embarrassed to tell you that they don’t know
everything.

But me… I’m proud to say that I’m always trying to learn new
things to keep myself updated. If I don’t do this, I’d be
annihilated sooner or later by the fierce competition out
there.

But hey that’s okay - we all need to keep learning don’t we?

Coming back to the topic at hand, I became a full time
Internet Marketer at the beginning of 2007, and I created
my first ever product in March 2008 (for the Nigerian
market - which is where I’m from).

From then on till today, I have developed and marketed a
total of 7 products in the Internet Marketing niche.

5 for the Nigerian market, and 2 for the International
market.

I consider myself very lucky and blessed to have come this
far. Although it is by no means an excellent feat, I’m still
proud to what I have achieved nonetheless.

Why am I telling you all these?

I want you to have a fantastically successful 2010. Picture
yourself living that dream Internet lifestyle. 99.999% of
the time, you won’t be able to live this dream lifestyle in
the span of just one year. It takes more time and hard work.

But that’s okay because as long as you are moving closer to
your ultimate goals with each passing year, you are in good
shape.

Success in any endeavor, not just in business, is built upon
consistent hard work and perseverance. This is a very
important fact you must keep in mind. With that said, the
next time someone promises you instant riches without having
to do any work, RUN as far as you can!

Okay, so these are the things I want you to do TODAY to
start carving a path leading towards success in 2010:

===========================================================
1. Always arm yourself with the right mindset and attitude
===========================================================

The first step that you MUST (no exception) is to start
believing in yourself that you can become a successful
Internet entrepreneur.

No exception!

Think about this carefully and seriously…

If you don’t believe in yourself, how the heck do you
expect others to believe in you? If you have this kind
of weak attitude, your customers, affiliates, JV partners,
team members will NOT believe in you either.

I mean, why should they believe in someone who doesn’t even
believe in himself? I certainly won’t, and I bet you won’t
either!

Let me tell you a harsh fact - if you don’t believe in
yourself, you will 100% definitely FAIL!

Only when you start believing in yourself can you start to
make things happen.

However this doesn’t mean that you will surely succeed even
though you believe in yourself. It takes more than that,
even though believing in yourself is a very good first step
towards achieving your goals.

So let me take you to the next step I want you to do…

==============================================
2. To achieve real Success, Failure is a MUST
==============================================

Before you jumped at me shouting: “That is so not true,
because I know some people who have achieved great success
without experiencing any failure at all!”

Let me tell you that these people who have achieved great
success without any failure at all is very, very, very, very,
very, very rare. :cool:

The reason why I said “To achieve real success, Failure is
a must” is because 99.999999% of the time you will fail first
before achieving any success, unless you belong to the group
of people who are very, very, very rare.

By preparing you for the worst (failure), you won’t be as
disappointed as had I not equipped you with this kind of
mindset and attitude, when you indeed do fail.

When the time comes for you to fail, I advise you to fail
graciously, learn from your mistakes, and become even
stronger and wiser to move closer towards your goals.

===========================================================
3. I want you to think ahead what you want to achieve for 2010.
What are your goals?

===========================================================

Write them down on your whiteboard so that you can see them
and be reminded of them every single day. If you don’t have
a whiteboard, write them down on a piece of paper and stick
it in your room.

I’m serious…

We need to be reminded of our goals every day. If not,
we’ll get sidetracked and spend time and do things that
are totally not related to what our ultimate goals are. When
we do this, we are wasting our precious time.

There are a lot of distractions out there, and by seeing
our goals every day, we’ll always be reminded what we should
be doing and what we should not be doing.

Stop that useless chat on Skype, MSN or Yahoo Messenger!

Stop checking your freaking inbox every 5 minutes.

You have better things to do - and that is to build upon
your business consistently, so start thinking today what
you want to achieve in 2010 and write down your goals.

====================================
4. Start taking Massive ACTION
====================================

Simply having a goal or goals that you want to achieve is
not enough. You need to take Massive Action.

Plan on how you are going to achieve your goals. What will
you do? What strategies will you undertake?

Don’t spend too much time planning though, because if you
do you’ll probably end up planning all day long without
actually doing! And that is a disaster because you’ll remain
where you are now come end of 2010 - still the same, old you.

We don’t want that to happen, so start taking Massive Action
once you have done some kind of planning.

Remember - don’t try to be a perfectionist who needs to have
every single little detail planned out first before taking
any kind of action.

Just do it first, and correct as well as improve as you go.
Garner the momentum and start doing first and the rest will
follow.

Trust me!

===============================
5. Do It TODAY!!!
===============================

Most people who have read this far will think and say to
themselves: “Yeah I agree with all of the above Welly, but
I'm very busy now, therefore I’ll just take action next week.”

…and you know what?

YES, these people will NOT take any kind of action come
beginning of next year next week. They will continue to
procrastinate forever…

But I know you're different from them right? I know you will
take massive action TODAY and start moving towards your goals!

By taking action today, you are slowly but surely building
your business every single day. It is through consistent
action and perseverance that one will actually succeed in his
or her endeavor.


Okay that's all for today friend.

Remember that simply reading and knowing the above 5 steps is
not enough, you MUST implement them before you can start
seeing any results.

As the saying goes:
"To know and not yet to do is not yet to know"...

To Your Continued Success!

How To Stand Out From Your Competition For Extra Sales

Many information marketers have the erroneous belief that
if they find a market with too many competitors, they
shouldn’t write an ebook for that audience.

To the contrary, competition can be beneficial for a
variety of reasons including –

* Researching.

If there IS a lot of competition, you can reasonably expect
there this to be a lucrative marketplace. Generally
speaking, a large product and service line means there is
large consumer interest and demand. I encourage you to
LOOK for markets with lots of competition as it’s a
shortcut to researching where revenue is available.

* Partnering.

The more competition there is, the more likely you can find
other like-minded marketers to partner with in cross
promotion efforts, co-op advertising, and other related
joint ventures. This is especially true if your ebook is
“related” to other ebooks without DIRECTLY competing with
them. (I.E. Raising metabolism is “related” to cutting
calories in that they are both agents of weight loss.)

* Educating.

Another reason why competition is good is simply because
your target audience is educated, at least in part, on
someone else’s dime. That is, the marketing materials of
your competitors educates the market on why the products
are necessary or beneficial. A good example is this: many
marketers “educated” consumers on the need for using audio
and video on their web sites, opening the door to a variety
of related products and services to be sold.

So, competition isn’t always a bad thing. It can be a good
thing for these reasons and a handful of others.

But ...

The challenge comes in when you want to stand out among the
competition so YOU can get marketplace interest.
There are many ways to stand out by creating your own “USP”
(Unique sales proposition) that could be covered here, but
I want to mention is this –

Create a demographical version of your ebook.

Let me give you an example –

Let’s suppose you are going to write an ebook entitled,
“Weight Loss Secrets”. So, you write it and then you
create a “demographical version” that is entitled, “Weight
Loss For Christians”.

Other examples might include –

* Time Management For Homeschoolers
* The Internet Marketer’s Diet
* The Senior Citizen’s Guide To Investing
* How Ace Your First Teacher Interview
* How To Get A Hot Date: College Student Edition
* Fundraising For Youth Groups

All you would need to do in order to create this
“demographical version” of your ebook is take the same
exact ebook you’ve written (your “regular” version) and add
some specific references and ideas that relate to the
particular demographic you’ve chosen.

* If you decide to create “How to Get A Hot Date: College
Student Edition”, then you’d add in a few references to
specific places a college student can find a date that
wouldn’t apply to your regular audience (I.E. Frat party),
as well as pick-up lines, first-date ideas, practices and
other content that apply only to college students.

In other words, you share the same content, but you speak
THEIR specific language and provide ideas that THEY can put
into practice in their setting.

The PRINCIPLES of finding dates may be the same across the
board, but the PRACTICES of finding dates are completely
different for college students and widowed senior citizens!

And if you can get creative in your content, you can make
your demographical version even more appealing.

Your “regular” version may have 5 main practices for time
management. But in your “demographic version” those
practices become 5 “Homeschooling Habits”.

So, what’s in this for YOU as the author?

Let’s take a look at a couple of noteworthy advantages -

Firstly, you STAND OUT among your competition. As a
Christian, I can tell you that if 20 ebooks were available
on weight loss and one of them specifically mentioned being
for believers, I’d immediately take a look at that one.

Secondly, you EXPAND OUT among your competition. Now you
can market your ebook to TWO entirely different audiences.
For example: You can look for “weight loss” ezines and buy
advertising in them. But, you can also look for
“Christian” ezines (that have NOTHING to do with weight
loss) and buy advertising in them. This allows you to
reach audiences that you likely would have never been able
to reach!

Then, it’s simple a matter of doing it again for other
demographics.

Rinse. Repeat. Reprofit.

Start with ONE demographic and move on to many others ...

* Christians
* Homemakers
* Senior citizens
* Students
* First-timers
* Newlyweds
* Office Workers
* Teachers
* WAHMs

The list could go on and on.
Most information products can be custom-tailored for
different demographic groups to STAND OUT among the
competitors ... and open up the door to new contacts that
might never be reached through other means.

If you want to STAND out and EXPAND out then create one or
more “demographical versions” of your ebook.

Like a screaming child at the library, you’ll get
attention!

3 Idea Hangouts For Finding Red-Hot Ebook Topics

Tuesday, 7 September 2010

I’ve always been impressed with those who seem to always be
ahead of the pack when it comes to new ideas.

When I first started publishing information products
online, I thought that certain people had a crystal ball
they gazed into. Or some top-secret contact who was
providing them with inside information.

Over time, I realized that it wasn’t magic that allowed
these people to come up with red-hot ideas on demand. It
was simply that they knew where to look.

I soon discovered many places where ideas seemed to always
be found. I call these places “idea hangouts”. Here are
three of my favorites where you can find ideas for your
next ebook anytime you want. Almost like a genie granting
you three wishes...

1. GOOGLE.COM.

Google is the ultimate “idea hangout”. There are so many
ways to mine the gold in Google’s amazing search database
that it would take another article to graze the surface of
this enormous iceberg.

What I want to mention are just two quick ways to find
ideas by searching Google.

- Identify Listings.

Search for a broad topic related to your area of interest
or expertise. (I.E. “Tennis”, “Weight loss”,
“Homeschooling”.) Look at all of the web sites listed in
the index of returned results. You’ll likely find some
ideas for information products right there in the first
couple of pages.

- Identify Advertisers.

You’ll probably notice small ads either at the top of the
page or to the right of the page (or both!). These
advertisers represent your competition. They also
represent your thermometer for taking the temperature of
your market and gauging interest in specific topics.
Chances are, what they’re selling you should be selling.

In both of these examples, you can click through to the web
pages of the sites listed and study their respective sales
pages. Look specifically at the “bullet points”. Each of
these represents a potential idea for your next ebook.

2. AMAZON.COM.

From the world’s largest search engine we move to the
world’s largest bookstore. At Amazon.com you’ll really get
your creative juices fired up.

Again, you’ll want to search the listings by entering a
keyword or keyphrase into the search box on the main page
at Amazon.com.

You’ll get a returned listing of numerous books, courses
and other periodicals. Search these listed items for ideas
for your own ebook.

--- Example ---

If you were to search for “Homeschooling”, you’d find a
variety of ideas just waiting in the listing of books
available, including: homeschooling for special needs
children, getting starting in homeschooling, choosing
curriculum, homeschooling field trips, homeschooling
support groups, homeschooling for various ages (I.E. Pre-K,
Elementary, Junior High, High School, etc.), homeschooling
for Christians, etc.)

Any of these listings (and the dozens of others listed)
would be great ideas for the topic of your next ebook.

--- Example ---

Pay particular attention to the first page of the listing.
Amazon ranks their listings based on popularity of actual
sales volume. In other words, #1 is a better seller than
#50. This is a ready-made indicator of demand!

3. MAGAZINES.COM.

After visiting the world’s largest search engine and the
world’s largest bookstore, it’s time to take a quick stop
at the world’s largest periodical store, Magazines.com.

You’ll find every imaginable magazine listed at this site.
The interesting part (and useful to you as a research tool)
is this: you’ll also find the COVER of usually a recent
copy of each magazine.

That is, you can search for “Parenting” and the engine will
return a listing of magazines related to that topic. You
can then click on the image of the magazine cover and
you’ll be shown a larger copy of that cover where you can
read the contents. (I.E. “How To Raise A Stubborn Child”,
“27 Ways Discipline In Public” and “The Real Key To Your
Child Getting Better Grades”.)

Each of these “cover stories” represents an idea for your
next ebook.

The best part about it is this: the publishers of these
magazines have done the research for you! They’ve measured
the level of interest for these ideas and found it high
enough to warrant not only writing content about them, but
referencing that content on the cover of the magazine!

That’s your hint. People want this information.

So, there you have it, 3 “idea hangouts” where you can find
ready-made, in-demand, red-hot topics for your next ebook.

Happy hunting!

The Real K.E.Y. To Becoming A Successful Ebook Writer.

Monday, 6 September 2010

There must be some reason why certain ebook writers are
successful and others are not.

In other words, why do some authors make high six-figure
incomes (even seven-figures!) and others barely make enough
to cover their hosting fees?

There must be some reason for the difference in level of
success, right?

There is.

In fact, there are three “reasons” why that I want to share
with you now. I’ve used the word “K.E.Y.” as an acronym to
reveal these three elements of successful ebook publishing.

1. K = KEEP it concise.

One of the biggest mistakes ebook writers make is starting
their project with the idea in mind that their ebook must
be a certain number of pages in length.

That is, they assume the ebook should be 50 pages or 100
pages or even 200 pages in order to be desirable to
consumers.

Wrong. Ding. Thanks for playing.

Much more important than QUANTITY is QUALITY. Almost every
potential customer in your target market is considerably
more interested in learning something useful than they are
reading a bunch of commentary that has little or no real
value to them.

The ability to concisely (yet comprehensively) share
content that is practical is a must if you want to be
successful in the information business. No fluff. No
filler. No fat. Just the meat.

That’s what consumers want. Especially today in our fast-
paced, instant, I-want-it-now society.

And chances are you are much more likely to write a 30 page
manual and get it done than you are to slave over trying to
measure up to a 200 page masterpiece.

Your first key to success is “keep it concise”. Share what
you need to share in the least amount of pages as possible.
It doesn’t have to be the great American novel. This isn’t
Hemingway.

2. E = ENJOY yourself.

I simply must mention that if you enjoy your “work” then
you are exponentially more likely to complete your ebooks
than those who reluctantly or grudgingly write.

Seriously, don’t underestimate what I’m saying here.
You’ll get much more done as a writer by having fun with
your subject matter.

That’s the beauty of information publishing. YOU get to
pick the topic. A topic of interest – of passion – to you
as the author. Something you find enjoyable, even
exhilarating.

To be sure, you want to choose topics that are in demand
and have a ready-made audience awaiting who are willing to
purchase them. But, at the same time, you can look for
those marketable topics that appeal to your interests and
expertise.

I don’t care how “profitable” a subject may be, I’d never
take it on as a project of mine unless I got some sense of
satisfaction or enjoyment in writing about it.

Instead, look for those things that you are already talking
about anyway. And then write what you’ve been talking
about.

3. Y = YIELD results.

Finally, I must exhort you to “yield results”. That is,
you simply must stick to it and finish the job.

I cannot tell you how many people that I’ve met online who
struggle with the affliction “short-of-the-finish-line-it
is”.

They begin running the race with gusto. They pick their
topic like it was a Nike outfit. They outline their ebook
like they just heard the starting gun fire. They come up
with ideas to include in their work like they were
sprinting down the track.

And when they round the first corner, they start slowing
down. Before they know it, they’re up in the stands
watching others cross the finish line.

That’s why I am adamant about telling you the golden rule
of ebook content: Never start something you can’t finish
in 30 days.

With any new ebook you are planning on writing, choose the
topic and outline it in such a way that you can complete
the content within one calendar month. Anything that goes
beyond that period of time is likely going to be discarded
somewhere past the starting gate and before the finish
line.

It’s important that you set for your goal a reasonable,
reachable amount of pages for your ebook ... such as 30
pages. Then, divide that goal number of pages into your 30
days. In this example, it would mean writing just ONE page
per day (very realistic!) for 30 days and your ebook will
be completed.

Victory! The finish line!

Certainly there are a wide variety of other “keys” to being
successful as an ebook writer (choosing the right topics,
learning to outline well, brainstorming ideas, marketing,
etc.) but these three form a solid foundation for you to
build upon as you continue to learn more about information
publishing.

K = KEEP it concise.
E = ENJOY yourself.
Y = YIELD results.

See you on your victory lap!

Three Ways to Find a Niche for Your Affiliate Marketing Business

Wednesday, 1 September 2010

You can’t start a profitable affiliate marketing business until you find out exactly who you are marketing to. Finding a niche is the first in several steps that will allow you to start a reliable stream of online income.
If you’re stuck at the starting gate when it comes to find a niche, here are three ways to find the right niche – including the pros and cons of each.

Method # 1- Picking a niche that you already know a lot about.

When you select a niche that you are already closely familiar with, you will be able to indentify immediately what type of content you need to create, how you need to approach the marketing and where you need to do further research.
This can save you a lot of time when you are searching for affiliate products. You’ll know instantly what type of information that your market is likely to want and you narrow down your affiliate product choices without spending a lot of time on niche research.
Additionally, if you decide to create your own product to pre-sell the affiliate marketing product, you’ll instantly know how to create it. On the downside, the topics that you may be familiar with might not be profitable or in demand.

Method #2 – Pick a niche that you are passionate about.

If you go with the passion method of picking a niche, you’ll enjoy the process of marketing to this niche. A topic you are passionate about it one that you may or may not already be knowledgeable about.
You may just have a passion for learning about it. With a niche you are passionate about, you’ll be more motivated to work on your affiliate business.

Consistent work is the key to success, so enjoying your work is important to keeping consistency. It will also be easier to write passionately about the topic if you are passionate about learning about it.
You’ll be excited to do the work involved in creating a promotional pre-selling product or a website. However, just like with a topic you know about, you may find that the product that you are promoting due to your passion is not very profitable.

Method #3 – Pick a niche that is high in demand

Finding a market that already has a high demand is a smart way to get into affiliate marketing. If the topic already has a great deal of interest and demand, you’ll be more likely to make sales and have profitable affiliate marketing promotions.
The main drawback is that high in demand topics have a lot of competition, but don’t let this discourage you. You’ll be able to make an impact in the market if you keep at it.

There is a hidden fourth method for choosing a niche – finding a niche that is a combination of all three. When you select a product that is something you know about, something you’re passionate about and something that is already high in demand you’ll get the benefits of all of these methods.

6 Tips for Making Your Affiliate Marketing Articles Work For You

I ran into this article that I will like to share. The article is just what many need to succeed as affiliate marketers.

Article marketing and affiliate marketing can go hand in hand, if you plan correctly. Although many article directories do not allow you to link directly from your articles to your affiliate link, there is nothing really stopping you from using article marketing to drive traffic to a personal landing page.
Using the following tips, you can create a powerful article marketing campaign that will lead to increased affiliate sales.

1.Use keywords in your article title.
Put your main topic into a keyword research tool and then pull some of the most popular keywords from that list to create your article titles. Using the keyword in the title will help your article rank well.
Try to work in two mentions of the article title if you can – for example “Organic Gardening Tips: 3 Tips for Better Organic Gardening.”
In this example, the author squeezed in “organic gardening” twice in that small space.

2.Use the keywords within the article.
For the best results, you should select three to five keywords that are closely related and use them in your article. Use your main keyword in the title and the first sentence. Make sure to incorporate the other keywords within your article to bring in extra traffic.

3.Make your article stand out.
If you type your main article keyword into a directory like EzineArticles.com to see what is already being published. Giving a quick glance at the top 10 topics will help you see if there are any trends.
For example, if all of the titles of the articles follow a “Top 10 Reason Why…” then you should create a “Top 10 Mistakes…” type of article so your article will stand out.

4.Create an optimized bio box.
The most important part of your article marketing article, besides the title, is the optimized bio box. With the right bio box, you’ll be able to have lots of traffic to your affiliate marketing landing page.
An optimized bio box includes your main keyword as well as two links to your affiliate marketing landing page. Interested parties can click on your links to get more information about the topic you are discussing in the article.

5.Give away quality information.
Don’t write a fluff filled article that is empty on content. Even though this article’s purpose is to drive traffic to your affiliate marketing landing page, you should take steps to make sure that your article has quality information and tips that the reader will benefit from.

6.Don’t give away too much.
As an addendum to the previous point, you should keep in mind that your article should provide partial information but not the entire solution to the problem. The entire solution can be found in the main affiliate product.
If you give away the solution, the reader will have no reason to read through to the rest. For example, give the first two steps of a five step process in order to lead the audience to find out more with the product.

Talk soon,

Frustrated - no time...and sucked dry of my energy...

Wednesday, 25 August 2010

You know...I have been tired...and I have
been sick and tired of being tired.

It seems hopeless. Hard to even just
get thru the day sometimes. Let alone...trying
to really accomplish something...yeah?

I wrote this as Project #4 for folks that
purchased $5 bucks a day.

It's a little personal in parts...I'm just
a dude that has been through some stuff
and worked my way out...

It feels good just putting it down and
sharing it...

And I thought just maybe, you might get
some use out of it too...

Here it is below:

********************************
Project 4- The Most Important Project
********************************

Good morning! Good to be hanging out
with you again.

How are your project(s) going?

Well...I hope!

You are doing at least one right?

If you are GREAT!

If not, listen, no scolding from me. I
know how hard it is to find the time & energy.

And when and if you get a few moments...
you want to spend them on yourself...yeah?

I know! I battled this for years.

So this week's project is about MAKING TIME
and finding ENERGY.

Now...don't boo me! Please. If you can make
an extra 2 hours a week and GET A PROJECT
done. Then you've just added to your income
just as much if I gave you another "do this do that"
project details...

Right?

And please know...if you haven't done any
of the projects yet...

THIS may be the MOST important project YET!

Okay?

Cool!

So...

Here's the BIG question.

Where can you find the time to squeeze in these
projects into your schedule?

...and sometimes more importantly how can you
find the energy and motivation?

(Now I could just say wake up earlier and
watch less tv, but we all know that is like
trying to stay on a diet. It works great. But
not long term.)

Now...I am no "time expert" and didn't go
to business school but these are the ways
I was able to free up enough time to work
on my business despite working 60 to 70 hours
a week for my boss...and finally find
my freedom.

See, Freedom is like a rocket that
expends most of its fuel(time) & energy getting off
the launching pad and breaking through the earths
atmosphere.

So here's my tips for getting off the
launching pad. They worked for me and...

I pray they work as well for you too.

1. Hire it out! Sometimes I really think
my gardener is responsible for my
success.

Seriously. I started having success once
I started spending the time I used to spend
on mowing, raking, trimming, and all other
outside chores... on my business.

Even better...

It has the DOUBLE BENEFIT of leaving
you with EXTRA ENERGY!

My gardener costs roughly $100 a month. That
is ONE PROJECT. Think about that!

And since the projects are residual. Once
you have done the one project. Your "gardener
is paid for" and you are still free to
do more and more projects.

(It's like you are getting your lawn mowed
free now.)

I can say it is truly AMAZING how much
I got done and how much better my frame of
mind was/is after I got that monkey off my
back.

So what is your biggest "time monkey"?

Can you hire it out?

I BET YOU CAN!

And yes. I know you have to be concerned
about affordability.

Obviously...some things like hiring out
the cooking...would be quite expensive.

...and if that is a big time monkey...you
might have to wait until you have a few
projects under your belt:-)

But, I bet there is at least one or two
monkeys that you CAN get off your back
RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Imagine if you just didn't have to do the
laundry? Don't just say you can't afford it
okay? Do some calling around, get some estimates,
you will probably be quite SURPRISED.

You can hire a book keeper to pay the bills
or have them all debited electronically.

If you REALLY can't afford to hire the
whole house cleaned. Have just the bathrooms
and kitchen done...or just the vacuuming.

Did you know most towns, even my tiny town
has errand services. Yes! You can hire someone
to take your dry cleaning in or pick it up. Take
fido to the vets...etc...for like $10 an hour!

There is a wonderful benefit to this too,
that I think can only be believed when you
experience the phenomenon...

And that is the feeling that you "start to
see some light at the end of the tunnel"
which gives you even more energy!...more time
and accelerates you faster to becoming the
SUCCESS that you have dreamed of for so long.

You can actually see the launching pad BELOW
YOU NOW! And can start seeing the blue sky ahead.

Then with the momentum. You get more monkeys off your back.
And become what people think is like this "human
dynamo".

Now, a WORD OF WARNING!

Do NOT try and hire family members or
just delegate to family members.

Maybe your family is different than mine.

I love them dearly, but I tried to have Eric
mow the lawn and it caused way MORE problems,
MORE headaches and MORE stress.

He would forget. Wouldn't do his best work. Or
moan and complain the whole time.

Far easier to find a professional gardener
and PAY HIM...okay?...just believe me.

2. Get 20 minutes a day exercise! This one
is HUGE!

If you are not getting exercise already take
your first time savings and BEFORE you invest
that time in anything else. Invest it in focused
exercise.

Running around doing errands or chasing kids
...does NOT count.

My exercise routine SAVED MY MARRIAGE
as well as gave me a ton of EXTRA TIME
and EXTRA ENERGY.

Here's why:

I was working myself to death mostly 70 hour
work weeks or more when you added my "on call"
time.

And I was sooooo grumpy...agitated and
sometimes just downright nasty to my
family.

I felt under so much pressure and stress.

Jeannie and I would argue about something
silly for nearly an hour or more a week.

I am so ashamed when I think about it now.

and...I knew...and thankfully Jeannie knew
that I was not my "happy go lucky" self.

One evening we decided to go out and play
some badminton in the yard...and we were
running around acting like fools and just
having a great time.

And afterwards...I just FELT so good...elated
even...

That's when it really hit me...that I had
completely abandoned all of my exercise.

So...I made a commitment to walk, run, do
tae bo, ANYTHING for at least 20 minutes
a day.

Not even for my health. Just because it put
me in a better frame of mind.

I became a NEW MAN (according to Jeannie)
. Really my old self. But...it made such a
dramatic difference in my outlook on life.

The way I treated my family improved dramatically.

And...

I also got a multitude of SIDE BENEFITS.

**Just NOT arguing over dumb stuff gave me
HOURS every month...and UNTOLD amounts of
energy. I don't know about you, but arguments
are completely energy draining for me.

**With a clearer mind, I made less mistakes
at work and at home that saved me many hours
of redoing or fixing mistakes. (I forgot the
electric bill once for example that wastes about
six hours!)

**My very best and most profitable ideas come
to me when I am exercising.

**and I could go on and on...

Where do you start?

With what you know...or what you think would
be fun.

Fast walking.
Getting the Pilates DVD you've been wanting
Taking that martial arts class
Getting back on that rusty bike
etc...

Just make sure there is aerobic benefit to
it.

When I started I could barely run a mile.

Today...I am running 15 miles a week and
weight training 3 days a week. Which I am
doing because I want to. And because by doing
1 and 2 above and using that time to build my business
...I now have the time!

3. I am sure you have heard of make a list
and put priorities on your list...etc...etc.

You know. That really works. When you do it.

I just can't do it consistently. I think
it has something to do with "taking my freedom"
away.

Weird huh?

Even though I made the list. When I go to
do it the next day...I feel like I am my
own slave!

I know I still have work to do in that area.

In the meantime...this really has helped me.

TIME CHUNKING.

If you break up your day...you usually have
only a few categories of stuff that you do.

Remember when you can to "hire out" any time
monkeys that you can.

But for example one of my big ones is "correspondence"...

For email I do this once in the morning and once in
the evening.

(I used to do it like 12 times a day)

I also have Private Messages from forums which
I am trying to answer once per week.

etc...

But the key is to think about...or even better
to write down what you do in a day...and categorize
it.

Then try to put them into continous blocks of time.

This is so much more efficient...and for me
doesn't have the same restrictions as writing a
priority list.

(I do use a list of stuff that I MIGHT forget that
is different from the norm of my day)

If you can use the priority list method, by all
means use it.

Otherwise...

This may be your alternative because you are
still forced to look at how you are spending
your time and can't help but notice that if
your main goal is to get more visitors to your
blog...that answering email ain't gonna help ya
a bit.

So...

Here's your project for the week (repeat as
necessary)

1. Get one time monkey off of your back!
2. Once you have that time monkey off...put
the first time savings into your EXERCISE PROGRAM.

***remember, this will make MORE TIME not less! it
is counter-intuitive************

DO IT THIS WEEK! okay?

After you have your exercise program in place.
Put that time into your PROJECTS. You should
not only have time now. But, feel invigorated,
refreshed and ready!

3. Chunk your time into similar activities. Don't
spend your precious business building time checking
sales statistics 15 times a day.

Okay? Cool?

I hope I didn't come off as a smart alec, or a
know it all during this project.

That certainly is not my intent. This is what
has worked for me. It has worked way better
than I could have ever imagined.

And I wanted, in my excitement, to share with you.

Care to comment?

Types of Legitimate Online Businesses

Wednesday, 18 August 2010

There are several types of online businesses you can choose from to get started. You will want to check out each option and see which one suits your needs before proceeding. Here are some of the more popular online businesses people get into and what each one entails:

Service Based Businesses

A service based business is one where you offer some type of service to potential clients. Some of these include:
• Writing
• Web Design
• Accounting/Bookkeeping
• Virtual Assistant
Other small business owners have a tough time getting all of their business tasks done by themsleves, so they outsource those projects to someone else. They look for people who offer the services they need done for them.

If you have experience in some of these areas, you could offer it as a service by starting your own business selling yourself. For example, if you have some writing experience and can write well, you can offer that as a service to others who need writing done for their sites.

What skills are needed?

Depending on the type of service you choose to provide your potential clients, you should have some amount of skill under your belt. It’s not necessary to have educational degrees to perform these services, but clients like to see that you have some kind of experience to complete the tasks they need done.

Working online doesn’t provide the face to face contact that brick and mortar companies have when they hire employees. Trust comes a little harder online, so people do like to know the person they’re hiring has skills and knowledge in a particular field.

While it’s not necessary to have 10+ years experience performing a service, the fact that you have done it before and have some testimonials to back that claim up helps tremendously.

What tools are needed?

The tools you need will depend on the type of services you plan to provide. The more common ones that most service based businesses should have are:
• Computer
• Reliable Internet access
• Phone
• E-mail program
• Website

There will probably be some software programs to obtain as well. Each service uses some different ones, but most need a word processing program, excel program, and some use a web designing program.

You should consider an Instant Messaging program for those clients who like to be able to contact you instantly without having to use the phone to call or wait for an e-mail response.

How do you get started?

First thing you want to do is decide on the type of service you plan to offer your clients. Jot down everything you can think of that shows you have some experience or knowledge in that particular field.

Next, get your website created. Showcase your skills or experience on your site and provide clients with testimonials from other people who have used your skills and were pleased with the results. Place your rates and any other information about how you run your business.

Market your site on various places on the internet to get your online business out there for potential clients to find and check out. When clients contact you to hire you for whatever service they need, reiterate to them how things will go.

For example, let them know how they be invoiced for the work done and how much it will cost etc.

It will take awhile to build a list of regular clients, so don’t expect to be making tons of money right away. Give it time and keep marketing your service based business until you get to the point where you’re practically turning away clients because you’re too busy.

Running a service based business is a perfect option for those who already are performing that service at another job. In most cases, you could make more money offering those services online than you can by working a brick and mortar position.

Getting Started In Your Online Business.

The fear of the getting started process tends to make people procrastinate in starting a business of their own. That fear usually boils down to the fact that they just don’t know how to do it, or where to even start. This report will help you with this process, so you can lay your fears to rest and move through the getting started phase with ease.

Let’s start with some commonly asked questions that most newbies have in the getting started process.

“Do I have to have special skills or degrees to start my own business?”

You will need to have some knowledge in the field you’re going to embark in, but it’s not necessary to have any business or college degrees to accomplish starting your own business. Of course, it will depend on the type of business you want to start.

Simple research in the field you’re potential business will be in, will be sufficient enough to give you what you need in most cases. If you’re planning to offer a service like web designing, etc; you should have some skills in that area before trying to start your business.

College degrees and experience are always helpful in gaining expertise in a field, but you usually don’t have to have any degrees to have your own online business. Knowledge has more power online, so reading everything you can get your hands on that deals with your field will more important.

Will it Cost a lot of money?”

Starting your own online business doesn’t generally cost much money. The money you put into it is mostly for a computer, internet access and a website. Any other costs will be based on the type of business you want to get into.

Businesses where you will sell items you’ve created, will take some money to stock the inventory items, but there are great deals on the internet to be found for this purpose. If you plan to sell a service, like web designing, software programs will need to be added to your list of tools to purchase.

For the most part, you won’t have to run to your local bank and beg them to offer you a loan. Find the best deals on the items you need for the business you choose and you won’t have to worry about the interest rates a loan would add to your budget.

“Will I still be able to start my own business online, even if I’ve never run my own business before?”

Absolutely. Hundreds of Internet Marketers have started their own businesses and made a success of it without having any previous business experience. Again, it all adds up to how much time and effort you put into your research.

The internet, itself, holds a plethora of information at your fingertips to help you learn every aspect of the business you want to start. You can find tips, tricks and all sorts of information from people who’ve been there and done it, so utilize this resource to gain the power that knowledge will bring you.

“How much money can I make from an online business?”


This will vary on a lot of factors. What business you start, how much time and effort you put into it and the return of investment on what you’re offering; all play a part in what you will essentially make.

Some internet marketers make a six figure income, while others make the same amount a full time fast food worker generally makes. No matter how much your business brings in, you will still be ahead of those who commute to their jobs. The money they spend on gas, clothes for work and meals etc; is money that goes into your pocket and not someone else’s.

“Do I really need a website?”

A website will be needed to conduct your business from. You will need to sell your products or show potential clients what services you have to offer. It serves as your ‘office’ or ‘store’ would, only you won’t need to rent out expensive space in a building to use for your online business.

Websites are pretty easy to create if you use one of the many website design software programs or website building services. If you choose to, you can also hire a web designer to create a killer site for your business, so don’t let your lack of web designing skills hold you back.

“Do I need special business licenses to run an online business?”

You will want to check with your local government agencies to determine what you will need in your area. Each area is different, so it’s best to check and see what you need before starting your business.

“I’m nervous about taking money from customers. What if I mess up the payment processing system?”

If you’re selling items, you will want to use an online payment system like PayPal or Clickbank. These programs will take of the whole payment process for you including refunds. Shopping cart software a lot of times will come with a web building program, so take advantage of that option.

2.5 Tips that will haul in some "SICK" commissions!

Wednesday, 11 August 2010

Here is another good shot from my article marketing mentor
Travis.

This is another article he shares with me that shed more lights
on getting approval from other affiliate sites.

And the good thing is that he shares with us products that are
making more cash than ever.

Go ahead and read all of it.

Hey K,

Here's two tips, that should really be rules!

1. Clickbank is great, Clickbank is cool, Clickbank sends me a lot
of money, BUT...there is way MORE than Clickbank! Billions of
dollars are being spent on cell phones, supplements of all kinds, expensive
home theater equipment...and so much more...

And you know?...if you are used to sales ratio's like 1:100 (or less), you
will really be surprised at the conversion ratio of a hot supplement. 1:10, 1:20,
are not uncommon in my campaigns.

Now...if you go to Commission Junction, independent affiliate programs and
other places...you are going to find that you do NOT always get automatic
approval....

Which brings me to tip 2:

2. Pick up the PHONE. It works wonders for so many things in this business.
But, not to divert from our little topic here. If you get turned down or don't hear back, get the phone number and give 'em a holler. Tell them you use articles, PPC
or whatever...

I know that this is exactly how a member just got approved by Commission Junction at Wealthy Affiliate, he picked up the phone...and got approved.

Do you see how you can make so much more money? If you are not
limiting yourself to just CB?

I know that when I see new folks at Wealthy Affiliate sign up for CJ, they
come back and say something like "I feel like a kid in a candy store."

I mean, if someone wants a "diet pill" and you are trying to sell them a book
on dieting...Do you see the big problem? The big disconnect?

They are saying I want product X...and some marketer is trying to push
a book down their throat.

Not only is it frustrating for the customer, it makes a "Bum" want to cry!

...and the saddest part is...

That if the "Bum" would have even done a "sloppy" job of presenting
Product X that the customer was searching for in the 1st place...the customer would have bought and been happy...and the "Bum" could take the knife from her wrist!

'Cuz she just made a SWEET commission and doesn't feel like she is
doomed to a life of slavery...

She realizes all you gotta do...is...

Find a group of people that want something (real bad), go out and find it (which is usually not going to be at Clickbank)...and tell the group of people "here it is! here
it is"

And if she can do that...she can make an o.k. living on her own...without some
butt head boss telling her when she can go and take care of her family, go to the
bathroom and working her until she is soooo tired that she is a grumpy with
the people she really loves when she gets home...

Feel me?

AND...if she learns to present a little better and a couple other basic marketing
techniques...She can become wealthy AND live life on HER OWN TERMS!

How cool is that?

So follow those two tips YO!

Much Love,
Travis

How To Turn N20k To N.5M In Less Than 60 days.(Part 3)

Tuesday, 10 August 2010

Write 7 short messages and set up an auto responder.

By now,you have product ideas already.If you don't go through Part2 or look for a closed place,paper and pen in hand with an open mind.
It happens faster than you think. Ideas begin to come and form experience there are one or two striking ones.These ones make you leap,happy and brings unexplainable joy.

I have discovered from experience that they are the killer ones.The ones that brings in the loot.

Since you are going to be building a list I suggest you choose ideas that have continuity.

For example,if I have to create a product on "how to cure madness naturally"(I am giving someone a product idea already). I will go ahead to offer my subscribers later information on how to quit smoking marijuana and any other addictive drugs.

I will further offer them another product that is a component of the first offer but with a different twist and so on.
List building involves building relationships.I am not boasting but I am into niches that oyinbo's call and send me mails for honest advice.I give them the best I can and also purchase from me affiliate products I recommend.

You will write about 7 messages giving a clear cut information relating to the product you are offering and offer them them the product at the end of your mails.

What you are only doing is pre-selling your offer.
That is the job your e-mail messages does.

The simple truth is that most people will not buy on the first day.But as you build relationship and educate them why they need your product they will buy in most cases after the fourth e-mail.Because they now know why they need the product.

Once the messages have been written.Upload on an auto-responder.You can get one at www.aweber.com or www.getresponse.com

The job of the autoresponder is to send your mails on schedule to the recipients even when you are not available.
It also keeps the data of you subscribers and let you know how many of them actually reads your mails.

This is about the size of this article. But just use it wisely.

This is a mail I got from my article mentor
And I will like to share.

You can read all here.

But I must admit it has been inspirational.

Go ahead and read it and let me know what you
think in the comment box below.

Hey What Up You Bum?

Ever been stuck in a traffic jam on a
broiling Summer day?

Have you seen that dude dressed up in
a suit and tie pounding the steering
wheel like a gorilla...screaming obscenities
like a sailor and practically sitting on the
horn?

(Hope it wasn't ME you saw!)

Ya' know I am all sure we have done that
or something close at some point.

But ya know what we DID NOT do?

We didn't get out of the car and say
SCREW IT!

No!

We stayed in the car because we knew
EVENTUALLY traffic would clear up and
we would get where we are a goin'.

Same thing with red lights...right?

We don't plan a trip to the mall and say...

"Hey, if I hit a red light I am going back home!"

Now, that all seems like some common sense...

BUT...BUT...

This is what an overwhelming majority of folks
do when it comes to starting a business.

And rings true for new Bum Marketers as well.

"Ah...CRAP...my article got declined...I quit!"

"The last two articles I wrote didn't get on Google...forget it!"

"I wrote 10 articles and no sales...Google can SUCK MY BUTT forever!"

"What? Ezinearticles won't allow links to UsFreeAds anymore? I give up!"

...NOW LET ME SAY...folks, these are just red lights! YEAH...IT BLOWS!

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

But what you don't do is get out of the car...right? You go somewhere
(in private is best)...you blow off any steam...cuss...rant...rave...

But stay in the car dude!

Let's take an example:

Ezinearticles stopped letting you link to UsFreeAds...OK!

Whatever!!!!

So you figure out another route...which there are many:

You can put up

A free blog at www.blogger.com

A free lens at Squidoo.com

Those are JUST three ideas. Three different routes. I have tested
them all and they all work great.

You can do a ton...you can add video, audio, opt-in forms...and
it's free.

There are a few limitations...like you can't change the font size
after you start the blog (on wordpress.com hosted on their site)...

But hey...it's free...and it works...

My point is that there are always work arounds...you just GOTTA
THINK LIKE A BUM...and STAY IN THE CAR...

You know, maybe you are making some profit now...this may be the
catalyst that spurs you to invest in YOUR OWN WEBSITE...

Which is a HUGE positive step in your business.

Now...I don't want to come off as a smarty pants or know it
all...

I do NOT know it all...

But in my 39 years on this Earth (it's my Bday on the day I wrote this),
and over 20 years of business experience...

Here is something very important that I have learned:

YOU DO NOT NEED MONEY TO START A BUSINESS AND BE SUCCESSFUL!

What do you need?

1. BIG BRASS CAJONES or if you are a lady GUTS!

2. DETERMINATION and PERSISTENCE OF A BULL DOG!

3. and what will multiply your success rate?...INGENUITY! If
you can't go over...you go under!...or to the side! or through
any obstacle that dares stand in your way.

So...for you math freaks...

take...

BIG BRASS CAJONES + DETERMINATION X INGENUITY = How much you
get of ANYTHING you want!

I live and breathe this everyday...

Who the hell am I to submit an article to Entrepreneur Magazine?

Who do I think I am to submit an article to Entrepreneur Magazine
not once...but SIX TIMES!

Hell...I don't even know if they are getting it...so next time, I
am going to FED EX it...in the strangest darn container I can find!

Maybe a 4 foot long cylindrical tube.

If that doesn't get me a response...I might just have it delivered
in the G-Strings of a couple hot strippers.

Yeah...I am just a redneck from Arkansas...I don't give a damn! One day
I am going to get my article in Entrepreneur Magazine, even if it
means I have to buy the darn publication to do it!

*******************************************************
THE MINDSET!

Ever see a Mother lose track of her youngster? Maybe
it has happened to you?

I don't care how meek that Mom is...when she can't
find her youngin' she will ask the biggest
burliest man...she will have it announced over the
PA at Walmart...she will ask anyone and everyone
she sees to help!

Will she stop at the 5th stranger she asks...hell no
she is not going to stop until she finds her baby!

THAT IS THE MINDSET you need to have to break free an
UNLEASH HELL ON ANY OBSTACLE OR PERSON THAT DARE TO STAND
IN YOUR WAY!
********************************************************

So my message to you is THIS:

Stay in the car...the light will change green...or you can find
a different route...or get out of the car, climb up the pole and
MAKE the light change green.

Don't let a few "red lights" derail your dreams!


Rooting For You,

How To Turn N20k to N.5M in less than 60 days(Part 2)

Friday, 6 August 2010

Search for a product to meet that need. Or create one.

Now I have a hungry market in my finger tips, and I know exactly what they want.
The next thing I will do is fill that need.

In the 1990’s Nigerians used the telephones that was solely managed by NITEL. The telephones were ok but had its draw backs. One will have to be where the telephone was before you received a call.

It was also a Herculean task to call someone in an emergency. MTN saw a market that needed to make calls every where you go. So they brought a more improved service that did not only make Nigerians call any where but also introduced flexibility in communication.
The point here is that Millions of Nigerians wanted COMFORT and Ease in communication and MTN met that need.

And the rest is history today. The telecom industry is one of the most vibrant industries in Nigeria today.

How Do You Meet A Need.

1.Look for what is available for the market.
2.What are the short comings of the available product.
3.How can you improve on the existing products.

These are just the basics.

Depending on what the market wants,I prefer to sell information.

This is what I do to create one.

1.I look for information in forums.
2. I have 4 lovely sites that I visit for information.One of them is ezinearticles
and the other is www.About.com.I will keep the other two for now.
3. Look for a ghost writer to look for information for you and write for you.
4. Look for resale rights or PLR Materials if can not write.
5. Interview an expert in that area of study.

Compile your information and package in PDF format and you are good to go.
It does not take too much time just commitment if you want to do it yourself.

And that will be the size of this article.
Talk soon.

Look for a need to meet. Look for a problem to solve

We live in a world where everybody and I mean everybody wants something badly. I do not need to elaborate to drive in my point.

Every one that has his wants provided for had to pay some how for it. To make money using this model I am going to be showing you in the coming days.

We shall start with the first of the process

A problem solver is a money maker as the saying goes. And I strongly believe in that proverb or whatever it can be called.

There are many problems around you that needs urgent solution and this serves as an opportunity for you to make money.

The first place I suggest you go is www.clickbank.com , you will have an honest assessment of what is selling and how you can create something around it and sell to Nigerians.

I will give you an example, early this year I realized how hungry the forex market was. As many Nigerians looked for ways of making money trading forex without actually trading.. It did not take me long to see what people where buying to solve that problem and that was a robot called Fapturbo.

I got a resale right to the software and put it up for sale at N7,300 when it was sold at clickbank for $147.The point here is that many Nigerians will not buy at $147 but will gladly buy at N7,300

I put it up for sale and in about two days I had sold over 12 copies and of course it did not end there.. That was just an example from my numerous exploits.

Other places you may want to check out for what people may need badly is through NEWS., bookshops and even observation. But the far easiest place is www.clickbank.com

If you really want to, it won’t take you long to find a very hungry market. Do not bother that you know little about the market just pencil it down and watch things unfold.

But I would prefer if it is market that you have an idea of. It will be very easy to come up with a solution to that problem because you already know what the market wants.

So that takes us to the second step of this money producing model.
Talk soon.
