The Silent Is Finally Broken!

One of the biggest consultants of consultants for businesses Rich Schefren has finally broken his silent. It took him almost one year to come out with the new trend as he is seeing how businesses will grow in the future. And how he feels the businesses through the internet will lead to. He calls it the new play of the game.
He started noticing certain things about our business...certain "rules" that used to apply but don't anymore.

We still don't know everything but it is starting now. He is talking that when the internet will have about 3 billion of visitors every day you have to move faster than you move now.

You have to make mistakes as fast as you can and learn from your mistakes.

Until now the concept was learn as much as you can and do it right. But according to him this will belong to the past. You have to learn from your mistakes and you have to learn fast.

The rule of the game 'Make and Sell' will be changed to 'Sens and Respond' (anticipate trends and act accordingly).

Rule #1: You have to have a do it wrong fast approach

Rule #2: Action creates priority

Rule #3: Measure then build

Rule #4: Think systematically

and so on.

What Is The Advantage Of An Affiliate Program?

There is no doubt about it that what was true in the past is true in the present and will still be true in the future. Affiliate programs are the most popular programs on the net for beginners and also for advanced home business owners.

But why are affiliate programs, ecommerce affiliates, work at home affiliates and business opportunities for affiliates, affiliate advertising, affiliate marketing services so often searched in the search engines? The only possible answer could be because it is easy to start with.

You can start with an affiliate program from your own comfortable home. The only tool you need is a computer or a laptop and you are ready to start with your business.

You don’t need any warehouse to store merchandise.
You don’t need a big office.
You don’t need a lot of office supplies.
You don’t need a secretary.
You only need a chair and a desk or a table.

You are your own boss and you decide the hours you like to work.
You can work in the morning, or in the afternoon or at night. You choose the working hours that suits you best. You can schedule your time that you are more time with your children or grandkids. Or just be more time with your family.

Most merchants provide you all the tools you need for your advertising campaign. So you just download the content and make smaller changes and you can send your ads to ezine articles directories, or post articles with the ad links on your blog or website. The most important thing to do is advertise your site through traffic exchange sites, Forums with your signature. With some traffic exchange sites you’ll get only visitors to your site but they do not provide you with customers. Most people surf on traffic exchange sites to get credits but they are not too much interested in buying your products.

There are some traffic exchange sites that work better for your purpose of advertising. The best way to check out which sites work best for you is to sign up and give it a try. You won’t loose anything because all the sites are free to join. Try to surf between 20 to 30 minutes on a few sites per day and check out your results after a few weeks time.

What Are Assets In Your Online Business?

Every business online or off line needs to have some assets. Without any assets you have only a business but no capital. The assets you are building are your capital or financial health of your business. Without any assets no one will lend you money in case of a financial emergency that you need to invest some money to get your business going.

Wiktionary calls asset any property or object of value that one possesses. If you have an online business you don’t really have an office and office supplies (fax, typewriter, copy-machine, desks and so on), you have when starting your business only your laptop and maybe a small printer.

Asset

So, what is your asset in an online business? You have to build your asset with your list or opt in list. In that list you have your prospects for your business. And you can offer and sell to that prospects your products or services over and over again. This in return brings you money into your business. Because when someone buys your product or service he will pay you for that product. But to get most out of your online business you have to create leverage. Leverage according to Wiktionary is ‘the ability to earn high returns from high capacity utilization’.

In the online business you build leverage in the moment you automate your business through your auto responder who takes care of sending one message to all your prospects or customers with one hit of a button. That is leverage because you do it only ones but thousands of people will receive your message. You can repeat this process over and over again. When you sleep people will receive your messages and get replies automatically.

The next asset in your online business is your articles. The more articles you have in circulation with your personal name or business name the more people will know about your business and will visit your site (your store). This is also called branding your name or business. The better the content of your articles the more likely you will attract visitors to your online store and get more information about what you have to offer. If you have something to offer that your visitor is in need of to solve his problem he most likely will become a customer of yours.

A third asset for your online business is posting on blogs or has your own blog. If you write articles on your blog(s) on a daily basis you can have a ton of free traffic to your blog and to your websites. If people like your content they invite others to read your articles and this is a very strong mouth-to-mouth advertising which doesn’t cost you a dime. You can run contests, or asking for feedback on your blogs or anything else what gets people active on your blog. You also can ask people to add unique content to your blog and much more.

When writing articles don’t rely too much on PLR articles because they are not too much worth the money they cost. They might be poorly written or the articles have too much exposure on the net. Everybody use the articles without rewriting them. In that case you won’t get too much traffic from search engines they purge your articles as duplicates content. The best way is to write unique content. Only if you are the first person who post a PLR article than you might get more traffic to your site. Or you can write a review over a product or book and post it in your blog.

These are three examples of building your asset. There are much more. You can get traffic through viral reports, audio and video reports and so on. You can say that anything you create that will continue to generate traffic and sales over time to your site is an asset.

What To Do When You Are Frustrated?

Have you ever thought of having your own business but don’t know how to start and what to do. Yes, I know starting a business can be frustrating especial when you buy stuff on the internet with the promise that you will earn money right away.
But the only person who is earning the money is the one who is selling the product. As soon as you buy the product you'll almost stay alone with the information and don't know how and where to start. Sound familiar to you?

You have bought a lot of stuff on the Internet but you don’t know how to apply all the products and the information. You’ve never heard the terminology of the phrases or you just don't know anything about internet marketing. You don't know anything about HTML-codes or FTP...you are completely new to that scenario. But you have the passion, enthusiasm and you are convinced to start your own home business under any circumstances.

I tell you the internet marketing is easy for people who are working with it daily. But for you as a newbie and starter of an own home business it is very difficult. You don't know what to do and how to start with. You don't have any plan or strategy; you just have the idea and the will-power to do something on the internet.

You have the desire to move forward at any cost even so you have only a few bucks to spend.
Maybe you have spent your money already to those all promising fast earning information or products. But they haven't worked for you because you don't know what to do with it...am I right? I thought so and now you are frustrated, your credit card overloaded and still not making a dime. But you still have the idea that the internet can give you what you are dreaming...a better lifestyle and financial freedom.

You are not alone, there are thousands maybe millions of people like you. Frustrated, jumping from one program to another...but at the end they still haven't moved one step forward. When they run out of money they stop or forget all what they have dreamed of and they hate everything related to the internet...they say internet doesn't work. But let me tell you after a few months they have refilled their purse and they start again.

The biggest problem is that everybody is listening to the false promises but never think of starting to make a plan and work out a strategy for their online activity. Yes, there are a lot of obstacles but those obstacles not only exist online they are also present in your off line business. There is no business in the world which runs without a plan or strategy either on its own. You have to work hard the first weeks or months. There is no way around it. But if you are consistent, focusing on your goal and have it always in front of you no matter what obstacles you are confronted with...you will succeed on the long run.

Don't make the mistakes all beginners do they start with too many things at once and they cannot focus on their goal anymore. And everything runs out of their hands. And then they get frustrated because of lack of results and lack of income. But the expenses are growing and growing.

I advice you when you are frustrated...stop everything and forget about it for a few days. Close your laptop. Take a few days of vacation. Read a few books. Come back again and try to focus again on your main goal. Concentrate, make notes, and when you have your new plan and strategy, start again and focus on one thing at a time and you'll see that you can achieve it.

Make a strategy for your advertising campaign. Look for some free advertising when you have no money. Write articles and distribute them to ezine directories. There are quite a lot with good results and high exposure. But always remember without work there is no success.

Einstein once said: "A business is like a game. You have to learn how to play it and than play better than all the other players."

The Secret of Viral Marketing

When browsing on your computer or laptop every few offers you see are talking aboutviral marketing.

When I opened the inbox today I had another offer of Free viral marketing but this time of free viral reports. When reviewing the report closer I read some very interesting points.

For example:

- You get a free viral report delivered to your inbox every month.

- You can brand these free profit making reports with your affiliate link.

- Provide quality content you your websites visitors.

- And last not least a free option: submit your own reports and syndicate them through their marketplace.

Just imagine...you have thousands of other marketers distributing Your reports all over the internet! And on virtual auto-pilot!
This sounds like getting your reports spread out to the mass like a virus and in lightning speed.

Have you ever wondered how to build your opt-in list? Yes, that's right with this power of Viral Marketing combined with Killer-Content you can build your list fast and without doing a lot of work.

The work will be done on Auto-Pilot. Okay, you have to do a little bit work. You have to fill out the forms on your membership site and copy and paste the links but as you can see it isn't that much of work. But your reports are floating in 'cyberspace’ and for ever.

But this is not all, you can give the reports away at your website, blogs, optin forms, autoresponders and even in your favorite forums...only your own imagination sets the limit.

I think there is no better way to get people to opt-in in your list. They rotate your affiliate link with theirs and you share with them the profit. That is the ideal win-win situation.

You know the best way to build your list is providing valuable free offers to new subscribers. This is one of the most effective techniques and can generate tons of subscribers for you.

You know everyone searching on the internet is looking for information to solve problems, fulfill needs and desires. When they come to your site and find accurate information instead of 'fluff' they will subscribe to your list to see what more you can offer.

But let's be frankly, almost everyone is looking for "Free Quality Information". And if you are committed and consistent you'll make later on sales.

Remember, providing your subscribers with a valuable report (that solves their problems, or gives them high quality information) -- can make you lots of money!

All you have to do is log in...Pop your affiliate links inside those money making content rich reports and 'Voila', you’re done!

The reason they say why it works is:

* Content is king!
* You get access to this content at no cost!

The Importance Of Choosing The Right Affiliate Program

Internet marketing is a complex and time consuming process! If you decided to spend your valuable time and ingenious brain in promoting a product, first you have to do is buy the product and check it.

When promoting an eBook as an affiliate you should check first what are you offering or promoting. A low quality product can easily harm your intent to start your own business.

Affiliate programs are a wonderful source of income if properly used. But many people in the online business fail miserably. Only the people who really understand the way how to promote their affiliate programs or products succeed. But a lot of people make with affiliate marketing a decent income.

There are many places on the internet where you can find good ideas for your business. Like any other business you have to learn the basics. Before starting a business you have to ask yourself the following questions:

What kind of product do you want to offer?
Is there a hungry market for your product?
Does your product solve any problems for your customers?
Do you have enough information about the product or service you offer?
Is your product or service of high quality?
What is the commission percentage you get paid for?

All these questions and thoughts are important when starting your home business. When
starting with an affiliate program the commission you get paid has to cover your expenses.

Always remember the effort to promote a product is the same for low commissions or high commissions. So it's always better to look for a product that pays higher commission when starting up your own business. You can do some resource on sites like PayDotCom or ClickBank to find the right product for your affiliate program.

Marketing affiliate programs are the most trusted and effective way for making money on the Internet today. Remember, your purpose is to have a home based business in which you can make money, and through internet affiliate marketing you will be doing this by selling your affiliate partner’s goods to your web site’s visitors. Affiliate programs are becoming extremely popular among website owners or bloggers.

Promoting affiliate programs correctly help you to drive traffic to your site through Search Engine Optimization and rich content. This generates more income for you and more sales for the merchant. So, choosing the right affiliate program is very important. For you to achieve any success with affiliate programs, you will need to choose an affiliate program that has an exceptional product or service, a generous commission, and necessary support and a website that will make it easy for you to make sales.

When you have your product(s) remember to promote it through all the advertising channels possible. Only then you will drive traffic to your site and customers who buy your product.

Without customers to your site is like a forest without trees.

How To Brand High Quality Viral Reports Free

When I saw "Free High Quality Reports", my first thought

was "Yeah, sure. Free AND High Quality!" Another offer of

those which promise but don't keep...



But I joined. Why not - it's free. You have nothing to lose.



I joined with healthy skepticism. I am usually pretty critical

of the free content you find out there. Everyone offers free

content on the internet these days.



However, I soon found my skepticism melting away. In fact,

I was quite pleasantly surprised by what I found.



http://viralurl.com/antonw/71705627


First, I have to say that this site is pretty ingenious when you

think about it. Branded, high quality reports you get to give

away - and make money from. That sounds too good to be true.



But when I actually checkout out a few of the reports, I found

soon out that they were much more than just "thrown together trash".

In fact, quite the opposite. I was really astonished about I read.


The other beautiful thing is that along with the reports supplied

by the staff writers of the site,

members can also contribute their own reports. As a

free member, you can contribute one of your original

reports every month.



After a while, once you have contributed a few reports, you

will see how viral this concept really is. This is like a

highly dangerous virus spreading out in lightning speed.



I've seen an increase in my traffic, as well as seen my own

credibility as an expert shoot through the roof. And this

only through a few reports I've posted.



My advice to you is simple. Join. Now. Why wouldn't you?

Do You Know What The Common Affiliate Mistakes Are?

People say affiliate marketing is the new labor force on the net. It is appealing and very attractive. It is also praised to be the best money printing machine. And you cash in overnight tons of money.

Truth

Affiliate marketing is the most popular program on the net.
Affiliate marketing is easy to start with.
You don't need products.
You sell products from other merchants on a commission base.
You don't need your own web site.
You can start right away.
You are your own boss.
You can work from your own home.

False

You will make money overnight.
You sit back and relax and the money flows in overnight.
It is a fast money-making system.
You don't have to work.
Earn tremendous amount of money right away.

Don't get excited about earning tremendous amounts of money. Affiliate advertising on the net gives you the impression that you can earn lots of money without doing anything. That is not true and if you believe that you will be condemned to failure right from the start.


It is true enough that affiliate marketing is financially rewarding. Yes, many people have gone through everything to be able to succeed in this business. They are reaping the seeds that they untiringly sowed. Many of them enjoy the kind of existence they never have dreamed of. But don't be overwhelmed it is absolutely no easy money in it.

It is hard work and you have to work your tail off from the beginning. No business is easy. Forget all the hype they are telling you. If you are not committed to your business and not sure what you are doing than you never get through and you never will achieve the success they are telling you. Ignorance is one of the main reasons why there are people who fail miserably.

Nobody tells you how many times they have failed before the achieved success. Nobody tells you how much work and wasted time was involved to become what they are today. You cannot step in to affiliate marketing with a myth and a fantastical notion of wealth swimming in your head.

When you start an affiliate home business you have to know what you are going into. You have to have the right mindset and you have to know from the beginning that the journey isn't easy. That hard work is involved to succeed. And that you have a tough competition. But as a convinced entrepreneur you should overcome all that fear. There is no business in the online or off line world without competence.

The competence is what makes the business worth while. It gives you a certain assurance that there is a market with money-spenders. A business is like a game. You have to analyze your counterpart or competitor and play better than anyone else. This is the only way to assure your success.

The affiliate business is not only getting paid your commissions. You have to know how the entire system works. Than you can run your business with success.

Affiliate marketing as any other business has its dos and don’ts. Most people are not aware that starting a business on the net involves advertising. Or they are aware but do not enough to get their word spread around. One of the advertising methods is through search engines optimization. You have to research for information about SEO optimization. Knowing SEO optimization you also will be able to know what to do in connection with building a better website to ultimately use for your home business.

Another mistake affiliates make is they load their sites with lots of banner that do not provide enough information about the product or service they sell. The best way to battle this mistake is to provide good content hand-in-hand with such banners. Your customers should know and understand the features of what you are offering. Only good content will comply with this goal and invite your customer to buy.

Another common mistake is that you are only promoting one product. This way you don't give your customers or visitors enough options to choose from. This way you have the risk of generating fewer sales as compared to having more options for customers ponder about. It is always better to give your customers a few better alternatives than to give them only one.

Another common mistake is that affiliates promote too many products on their site. As a result, customers are confused and end up leaving your business. It might be good to give them only the best choices. And let your customer decide which choice is the best for him.

Never try to push your customer to purchase. Let your customer decide without pushing. Give him only enough information about your service and products and what it will do for him. If he is convinced from your proposition he will buy from you. If not, he will leave your business and look somewhere else.

You only will succeed in this business if you go step by step and learn and understand at every step the next path to go. Go this next path slowly and surely.

What Is In Your Opinion The Most Important Ingredient For Your Business?

Do you know what things you have to be sure of when starting your home business?
Or you are the kind of person who just start something new because everyone is telling that's easy to do?

Before starting your business you have to have a clear mindset about what are you going to do with your business? In my opinion you have to have a reason why you like to start your own business. If you don't have a strong reason you'll most likely fail in your business.

For example:
- What are you aiming for?
- What do you want to do with your business?
- What service you like to offer
- What product you like to sell
- What is your passion about?
- What are your interests...if any?
- What is your plan for your business?
- What is your strategy for your new business?
- Who are your possible prospects?
- What is the need of your prospects or customers?
- What do they need to resolve their problems (overweight, living healthier, live a better lifestyle, financial problems, just to mention a few)

A business is some kind of mutual trust...A customer without trusting you are no customer. But there is also another important aspect you have to be sure of. And this is trusting in you. If you don't trust in yourself how can you overcome sudden obstacles in your business? How can you challenge a slowdown in the economy? Or how can you make the correct decisions for your business? Sometimes you have to trust your gut about what you feel is the right thing to do.

Imagine without trust you panic during difficult situations. If you have no trust in yourself you may fail with your first obstacle in your business or you cannot survive a slow economy. There are a few reasons why so many newcomers fail with their online business.

Reason #1
- Don't know anything about their business (just want to sell something)

Reason #2
- No business plan
- No strategy for their business
- Therefore not able to make decisions

Reason #3
- No perseverance
- No trust in themselves that they can do it
- They are easy victims for promising offers and easy money

Reason #4
- No persistence (Jump from one business to the other)
- No dedication to their business
- Strong believers of 'a business runs by itself'

That's why you have to be extra sure that you know exactly what you are doing with your home business. If you are going to open up a business, you don't have to be an expert. But you have to be sure what you are going to do. Everything is learn able. You can learn with the right mindset and focus almost everything.

Before starting your business you should read books on the subject. You have to collect as much as possible information about your business. In that way many people get a feeling whether they like what they have in mind or don’t. But if you don't inform yourself you'll never know if that business suits you or not.
It is easy to start a business but it is difficult to stay in business.

The same applies in your private life. You are obsessed with a fancy car but you don't know how to drive it. You'll try everything-to get your license or you learn how to drive because you are so obsessed about that car that you do everything possible to drive it...Right? In case you don't do it you feel your whole life miserable.

This is the type of mindset you net to have success in your private life and or in your professional life. You cannot start a business you fairly know nothing about it without a strong positive mindset. Only understanding and knowing your business you will become the expert.

It is human to make mistakes. A friend of mine told me once, "I only became successful through my mistakes and failures", and because I didn't annoy them instead I accepted my mistakes and made it better the next time. Nobody is perfect because we are human; we have feelings, thoughts, weaknesses, distractions and so on. But as long as you have enough trust in yourself you can manage almost any situation you'll get involved with.

A phrase I read once in the "Daily Guru" is what you should read over and over again:

Quote: Your Success Depends on your enjoyment!

"You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're doing. What you do is more important than how much money you make. How you feel about what you do is more important than what you do.

The more you love what you're doing, the more successful it will be for you. Don't set compensation as your goal. Find the work you like and the compensation will follow.

You don't pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success."

Online Business Opportunities

Promoting Your Website

Do you feel that you have a product or service that others will love to have? Perhaps having an online website is a great way to advertise your personal business. This will help others to know what products and services that you offer are, and how these products can improve their daily lives.

One of the easiest and most effective ways of promoting your website is to advertise it on several search engines. A search engine scans your website for meta tags or keywords that are related to a searchers request. Using several different key words can help more searchers hit upon your site.
Applying to several search engines will increase the number of onlookers to your site, as this is the type of online searching that is used most frequently. Advertising your site online opens your site to customers at all hours of the day and night. People all over the world can browse your site and purchase items, even while you are asleep.

Printing business cards that include all of the necessary information, including your website can also draw in new clients. Shopping online is a growing trend and you do not want to be left out. Giving out business cards to potential clients or even leaving them at places such as public bulletin boards in nearby shopping centers. It may also help to include your web address to your office stationary and fliers. If this is not an option, you can print small labels on your home computer and add them to various advertisements that you send out. Add your web address as a tag line on your emails too, so that people you come into contact with will have the option to browse your site.

You may want to consider paying to have links to your site, posted on other web sites. These sites should be ones that are related to your business, but not sites that are competition to your site. Email the site that you would like to have a link from, and explain that you would like to be considered for placing an ad on their site. You may be asked to pay a small monthly fee for the link to your site, but it can be well worth it if it increases traffic to your web site, and helps to increase the financial stability of your business.

Do not forget to advertise in local area newspapers also and include your website in the ad. Many potential customers may be interested in your company, but are not sure exactly what types of products and services that you provide. Letting them browse your site before they contact you can cut down on the time that you spend on those that are not interested in what you have to sell, and allows you to focus on those that are interested in your products.

Why Are Affiliate Programs The Best Way To Start A Business?

In the search for a work at home job or a home business a person is going to run into something called affiliate programs. Affiliate programs are very popular and they can also be a very profitable and successful choice. Before you get involved with Affiliate Programs you first have to understand how they work.

One of the first things you need to know about affiliate programs is the difference between them and a pyramid scheme. The two are very familiar, but there is a key difference. The difference is that with an affiliate program there are products or services being sold. In a pyramid scheme no products or services are sold. The reason these two can be confused is that both involve recruiting others in order to earn income. However, with an affiliate program recruiting is only part of the income. Selling products is another way to earn income and recruiting others is not even mandatory to earning money.

What is the basic idea of an affiliate program?

The basic idea of an affiliate program is that it starts with a company that is selling something. This can be a product or a service like a membership site. This company decides to find people who will sell their products or services for them. The company recruits these people, called affiliates, to sell their products and earn a commission for each product or service they sell.

Usually the company will supply the affiliate with a website and all the tools they need to get started. Some merchants equip the affiliates with some basic tools whereas others provide almost every tool. The affiliate’s job then becomes advertising their website and selling the products from their website so they earn a commission. Therefore the affiliate gets a link from the Merchant. This link directs the visitor who clicks on that link to the merchant’s site and when the visitor buys a product or a service the affiliate gets a commission for that sale.

In addition to selling the products or services, an affiliate is encouraged to get others to sign up for the program. When an affiliate gets others to sign up for the program they then earn money on that affiliates sales. When those new affiliates’ sign up people, the original affiliate earns money form them too. It keeps going like that so that a person can earn money on people who sign up many levels beneath them.
This is the real money making area of an affiliate program, however, the bottom line is that if nobody sells anything then no money is made. A person can not earn money simply by signing up people if nobody is selling anything.

Why affiliate programs are so popular?

Affiliate programs are so popular because they are easy to get into. Every newcomer in the online business can start with an affiliate program; Because he doesn’t need an own product to start with. He can start with any product from ClickBank, PayDotCom, or directly from the merchant. Most companies have well established programs that make getting started simple.

The earning potential is quite huge if a person really puts effort in to sales and recruiting new affiliates. With an affiliate program a person is really in control of how much they earn. It is a great idea for someone who is interested in a home business without all the start up work. Most internet marketers started with an affiliate and made their way to the top. This was many years back the best and easiest way to make money online and this will be one of the easiest ways in the future.

The keys to being really successful with an affiliate program are to choose the program wisely and then use it wisely. Don’t make the mistake of choosing any product they offer. You have to choose an affiliate program or be part of it with good products and a good reputation. It also means selling products and recruiting with effort given to each.

Affiliate programs may be the thing you are looking for when it comes to a home business that is going to be inexpensive to start up and has a very good success potential.
