7 Ways to Develop a Professional, Expert Image

October 1st, 2008

Whether you are doing business online or offline, selling products or selling services, it is very important that you appear professional and knowledgeable. Your customers will only do business with you and refer business to you if they trust you and consider you an expert in your field. You wouldn’t do business with someone who was “shady” or untrustworthy – or even just appeared that way, so why would you expect any less from your customers?

There are steps you can take to polish up your professional image, showcase your expertise, and give your customers the assurance that you are reputable business person, someone they can trust to deliver what you promise. It doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time – there are simple solutions, small things that you can tweak to perfect that image. Here are just 7 things you can do.

1.  Be consistent with your marketing material, whether it be your website, brochures, business cards or letterhead. Avoid “mickey-mouse” marketing, such as perforated business cards. You can have business cards printed inexpensively at Staples, or a similar office supply store, that will look completely professional and avoid the I-did-it-myself look. Have your logo on all of your marketing material, choose business colors and have all your material designed with those. You want to create a brand for your business, and keep it consistent throughout all of your business marketing materials.

2.  Create valuable content, for your website and your blog. Write about your product or service, and topics related to it. Share your knowledge and passion for your field. Your customers will appreciate the information, and will view you as an expert and professional. Aim for quality, keeping grammar and punctuation correct and consistent, and providing information that is interesting and unique. You have a perspective on your subject that no one else has – take advantage of that!

3.  Have a website that encourages visitor interaction. Create your own little domain on the web, filled with your valuable content from point number 2, and use different methods to get your visitors to participate and contribute. Offer a free newsletter, a classy wallpaper or screensaver, a forum for discussions, or other ideas that you think of. Have the site designed by a web design professional, so it is consistent with your brand and all the features are integrated properly. Avoid template designs, as you want a custom look to match your brand. A shabby website is a good way to destroy your professional image on the internet!

4.  Treat your customers in a professional manner. Even when they are wrong or annoying. This does not mean being a pushover. It just means treating them with respect. Write your emails and letters thoughtfully, always keeping in mind that what you write is a reflection of you and your business. Answer your phone in a professional way, and be quick to return phone calls, emails, etc.

5.  Take care of your physical appearance. Particularly if you are doing business in person. Dress well, carry yourself with confidence, and smile. Your appearance can go a long way with generating trust with your customer! Carry that confident, professional appearance to your online mediums as well. Make sure any pictures on your website, of you or your staff, look professional.

6.  Use a professional email address. For business emails, your email address should be yourname@yourbusiness.com or yourname@yourdomain.com. Avoid having an ISP email (you@telus.net) or a free webmail (you@hotmail.com) at all costs. It is very inexpensive to set up a domain name and email account, and it will go a long way in establishing a professional image for your business!

7.  Use an email signature. Have your business name, phone number and website address. You can also include your logo, if you wish. Keep it neat, not too long, and use it on all of your email communications. You may also want to consider letterhead for your emails, with your logo, colors, etc. Remember, you are building your brand. You want customers to see that brand and think of you!

There are, of course, many other things you can do to perfect your professional image. It should be an ongoing process, in fact. Always think about how you would respond as a customer to you and your business. If you wouldn’t do business with you, then you need to take a look at what you are doing and what you need to change. Develop that professional image, and your customers will trust you, respect you, and want to do business with you.

Search Marketing - The importance of Relevance in Link Building

September 25th, 2008

Many Search Marketing authorities now focus on the relevance of inbound links. This is an interesting signal because it seems to have an impact on your sites Pagerank (PR) as well. Previously, the back link strategy was linking in from sites with high PR no matter its substance. After  the Google Pagerank massacre in 2007/2008 this view has shifted, now it is vital  to get back links from web sites with relevance. In this article I will discuss  some tactical assessment that can improve the site’s SERP significant and  ensure that you receive more relevant visitors using:

  • Blogs
  • Web site Directories
  • Articles
  • Theme sites

above are the most common ways used in link building. In addition, I will  pre-condition minimal cost and using the DIY (do it yourself) link building method.

Blogs
Within this segment there are almost unlimited possibilities, you can create  your own blogs, or you can build links commenting in other’s blogs. This means  that if you have a Web site devoted to Search Marketing you want back links, or  create blogs within this theme. If you go for obtaining links by blog commenting,  make sure that the Blogs offer Do Follow links. Contrubute with intellegent Blog comments that add value to the Blog Post. As long as you  comment about something you are familiar with this is surprisingly easy. If you  prefer to create your own blogs, you can use Google’s Blogspot or similar  services unless you want buy domains and create blogs on them.

Web Site Directories
Look for niche directories that suits your site, select Web site directories about Search Marketing or synonymous in this case. This could be SEO, Search Engine Marketing, Niche Marketing, Online Marketing etc. The most significant aspect  is that you are aiming up on the relevance of the directory and not necessarily  the PR. Often it is free to submit links to niche directories and cheap to  buy a featured link for better exposure.

Articles
Article marketing is great to use when you are deep linking your site. Deep  linking is link building to several pages or all the sub pages for the entire Web  site. As mentioned to boredom, remember relevance. Write articles about Search Marketing  for the main page, for instance Search Engine Optimization for sub page 1,  Niche Marketing for another sub page and so on. Use the Articles resource box to  link back to the respective web pages from the relevant Articles.

Theme sites

Link trading? No, I’m still talking about the one-way links to your Web site. Search for theme sites using the phrase Search Marketing, look for relevant niche web sites but not the most popular. When you’ve come up with an appropriate range, contact the webmasters and inquire for the price of a Search Marketing text link for one year. With a  vast amount if offers to choose from, you can pick out the most affordable and  relevant sites. I’m sure you will be amazed by the number of quality back links  you can get for just a few bucks. This method works fine with Blog sites too if you don’t have spare time to comment or interest in publishing your own Blogs.

LInk building carried out as described above also generate relevant traffic to your web site. People visit your site because they are interested in what your Search Marketing site provides, we all know that targeted traffic converts better and is good for business. One final advice, this is not something you should do overnight - let it be a natural and continuous process in the development of your web site.

Do You Really Want to Build a Solid Internet Business?

September 25th, 2008

Internet research tells us that 87% of “Work from Home” business offers are scams.  What is a scam?  A scam is a product or service that has no real potential for you to build a business or make a profit from the activity, product or service. Click this link for more information: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

The problem is identifying which are scams and which are not.  The internet unfortunately lends itself to scams because the transaction is faceless. Add in the fact that professional copywriters develop great selling copy even for scams and don’t care because they are paid very well. The offer can sound very appealing because it plays on the basic human emotion of greed. They can offer compelling copy, fake testimonials, copies of outrageous fake checks and worst of all, fake claims of how little work is required.

It’s very enticing to make hundreds of thousands of dollars with little or no work; not to mention any experience. Remember, there is a secret nobody knows except the rich, but you can learn instantly for just $59.95.  This information will make you $30,000.00 per month and more in 30 days if YOU just knew the secret.  Think about it, what secret? OH, you know the secret!

Our industry deserves better. We at Best Internet Business Builder can’t stand it that this stuff goes on in our industry. The Internet is a great place to build a legitimate, sustainable, solid and profitable business offering true value with great products or services. There are people building solid sustainable very profitable businesses with valuable products in this niche. It’s just that scam artists tend to gravitate to the “Work from Home” segment or niche.

On the Internet, not just in internet marketing, you will find the “White Hats”, “Gray Hats”, and the “Black Hats”. If you’re not familiar with these terms, you’ve probably figured it out anyway. The “White Hats” are people that apply technology in an ethical, honest and moral way. The “Gray Hats” sometimes use technology in a not so ethical, honest and moral way. They will at times try to spam and scam you but only once in a while. The “Black Hats” will spam and scam you every chance they get. They only want your money.

So, how do you spot the scams? Sometimes it’s not easy; typically you can smell them coming. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck. But sometimes it’s hard to spot. Professional copywriters can trigger all your hot buttons. Just remember, there really are no secrets, you’re probably not going to be amazed, everything takes work and there is a long learning curve in most cases. A business in a box does not exist. When you are searching for information and tools to build an internet business, use skepticism and common sense before you purchase.

This brings us to the second point. The key factor for building a solid internet market business is you. That is correct. Let me repeat this; YOU are the key factor. Nothing is as important as this. Your determination and persistence is the most important ingredient in the entire process. It doesn’t matter what you sell or how you want to sell it; somebody is already successful and making money at it. The only difference between you and them is that they persevered.

The biggest reason by far that internet marketing businesses fail is because the person that started the business gave up. Typically after a month or two of getting scammed by get-rich-quick promises, they feel they just can’t understand how to succeed. Very few marketers are willing to teach you and give you the tools needed by the successful “White Hats” to make a lot of money.

Internet marketing, or ecommerce, is growing with double digit numbers every year. Research verifies online sales of goods and services have topped $200 billion in 2007. The great thing is you can sell just about anything online now. There are so many business models with new ones being developed all the time. What makes an internet marketing business so attractive is the start up costs are ridiculously low. Just about anyone can start a profitable solid business.

The only problem is you have to arm yourself with good information. Learning the technical stuff is not difficult if you will just read the instructions. If you are reading this, you can master the geek factor. How do you get the right information for starting your business?

10 Things to Look for When Choosing a Website Designer

September 25th, 2008

10 Things to Look for When Choosing a Website Designer

Choosing someone to design and develop your website may seem overwhelming at the least. With more and more people getting into the web design business, your options grow more by the day. And not all designers are equal in price or services. You can pay as much or as little as you want for a website, and get as many or as few features as you want. So how do you know who to choose for your website designer and what services to go with?

There are a few basic things you can look for, and questions you can ask when choosing a designer to do your website.

  1. Remember who is in control. It is your website and your business. Ultimate, it is you who must be happy with it, not the designer. This does not mean you shouldn’t listen to their suggestions, but it does mean that you make the decision about who will design your website. If you are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, or how it all works, it may be tempting to just go with the first person you find, or to let someone convince you that they are the ones who should do your site, but be careful and take your time. It will be well worth the extra consideration to get a website that you are happy with and works well for your business.

  2. Ask to see the designers portfolio. Any designer who is experienced enough to charge for their services, will have examples of other work they have done for you to see. If it is not readily available on their website, ask to see it. Look over what they have done and see if you like their overall style. Take note of designs and features that you would like to see on your own website.

  3. Look for customer testimonials. Find out what their previous customers are saying about their work! If you want to take it a step further, visit some of the sites they have done for other companies, and email the site owner and ask for their feedback. If they were happy with the work and the service, they will likely be more than glad to tell you about it!

  4. Visit the designer’s site. How does their own site look? Do you find broken links, typos or broken layouts? Do they present their own site in a professional and attractive manner? If not, beware. If they can’t take the time and effort to make their own site good, how much effort do you think they will spend on yours?

  5. Look at their prices. While price shouldn’t be the only deciding factor, it can shed a fair bit of light on the design company. Does the price seem reasonable to you? Is it too high? Too low? You don’t have to pay huge amounts of money for a website, but you also should be wary of companies that only charge a very small amount – you get what you pay for! You may not know much about how a website is built or what is involved, but you may have a fairly good idea of what you want on your website. Is it ecommerce? Then you can expect it to cost a little more. Do you just want something simple, with some text, photos, contact form? Then it shouldn’t cost you over $1000 – if that! Think about the kind of features you want, the size of your site, and guess your costs accordingly. If the price seems to high or too low, ask them why they are charging that. It may be that they are charging less because they are new in business themselves, in which case, if their work is good and they seem trustworthy and good to deal with, it may be an excellent way to save some money, and help them build their portfolio. If they are charging a lot and it seems expensive, it may be because they are a big company and have several employees working for them, have been in business for years and are at the top of the field. In this case, you are paying for their experience.

  6. Find out what is included. Many web design companies will offer you a package – you get the website designed, along with a domain name, email address and web hosting for a certain period of time. They may have other benefits and features that they offer with a package as well. This can take a lot of the hassle out of the process for you. If the domain name, email and hosting are all included, it means you don’t have to try to set it up yourself or find it somewhere else.

  7. Do they do website updates? Updating your website on a regular basis is important, as it keeps it fresh and new, and gives your customers a reason to keep visiting! I recommend that you find a web designer who can do the updates for you, at a reasonable monthly/yearly fee. Some may even include the first few months, or the first year, of updates with the website package. This is another way to take the hassle out of it for you, so that you can focus on your business.

  8. How quickly do they respond to messages? Be reasonable, and remember they are busy people as well, but at the same time, if they value your business, they should respond quickly, within a day or two at the most. If they take a long time getting back to you, consider it a warning. You don’t want to be stuck with a web designer who does not pay attention to your concerns about your own website. You want someone who will respond quickly and have the work done quickly.

  9. Beware of templates. While they are quick and easy to use, and usually cheaper, they are still templates, which means that anyone else can also use them. It is far better to get a custom design, one that is unique and created for your business and brand.

  10. Look at their overall attitude and professionalism. Pay attention to your first impression. Do they seem shifty and untrustworthy? Is their appearance shabby or rough? Do they seem to know what they are talking about, or doing? Do they treat you with respect and explain things in a way you can understand, without talking down at you? You want a designer who respects you and your business and is going to put their very best effort into your website and ensuring that you are happy with it.

If you keep these tips in mind, you will be more likely to find a web designer that you will be happy with and that will create a website that will compliment and work for your business.

Article Marketing Will Bring Quality Results For Your Blog

September 25th, 2008

Let’s assume you just started up your own online venture. You are already aware the only way for the venture to succeed rather than fail is for you to promote it. You can do this if you have deep pockets by paying for advertising or alternatively for free with article marketing.

The first thing you will need to do is research your article marketing topic. There are several good keyword tools available to help you decide which targeted phrases will bring you traffic but also you need to make sure there is little competition as well or you will not get good results in the search engines. Your targeted phrases need to be relevant to your website and be getting plenty of search queries but not lots results. Read a more detailed post about keyword tools for a better explanation.

Once you have researched your targeted phrases you will need to use them in your articles title, a couple of times in the first paragraph, a couple of times in the body and once again at the end for best results.

Always write for the reader when article marketing. In other words write it for humans, not Google. We can help our articles climb the search engine rankings but they won’t do us any good if people read the first sentence, decide it’s rubbish and hit the back button. Keep your articles simple and to the point. Use bullets or numbers as they get your point over better.

When you are done, read it a few times and make sure it is both grammatically correct and that you have your targeted phrases in the right places. Once you have checked it, read it again, a few times. If it doesn’t quite read correctly, rewrite the part and remember while you may be an expert on the topic, your reader is not.

Your final paragraph in your article is the most important {part-section} yet many who rely on article marketing miss the point all together. Your article gives the reader info that they have looked for but now you want them to get yet more info by going to your website. Be loud and clear about the benefits of clicking and visiting your site. Simply asking for the click will not cut it any more. Tell them exactly why they should and what they can expect to find: a a more detailed article, important list of links they will find useful etc.

Finally be particular where you offer the use of your articles and if you can rewrite the article each time you submit it somewhere new. Submit the original version to ezinearticles.com and hang fire until they accept it before submitting it to the other article directories. This is because ezinearticles are the most popular so get you most visitors but they will not articles that have already been posted on other sites.

Article marketing is still by far the best method of promoting a business online without spending big money on PPC. Just 1 article each day means around a hundred or so articles on perhaps 1000’s of other sites in just 3 months from now all with links promoting your blog.

For the ultimate bang in article marketing give serious thought to submitting your articles to Article Marketing Automation. The articles take longer to write but the benefits are ten times better than normal article marketing.

Niche Business Ideas revealed for Niche Business Market

September 25th, 2008

A niche business market consist of a targeted audience and a business that have the same needs and interest, which is easily identified and can work well together.

Niche marketing in general is to find a business niche that has a great product to offer and providing that product to a highly targeted prospect.

Advantages and ways of finding a niche business market:

1. Find a specific product that you are knowledge about or even passionate about – your chances of becoming successful will be greatly improved. This will keep you focused on building your business and generating a reasonable amount of income while you manage your time and effort into it. You will actually love waking up in the morning to look forward to a business that you love.

2. Can you define niche marketing? – You can define your niche by doing research on the product and the niche business market before you even begin to promote anything. You need to be able to answer certain questions and get the right answers if you are to succeed in niche marketing.

a) Is there enough demand for the product or service? – If you select a broad field such as weight loss, which we know has a great demand; you will have too much competition. So you would narrow down that niche to possibly choose something like “lose fat belly,” or “lose fat gain muscle.” You are now targeting those who want to specifically lose a fat belly or gain muscle.

b) Do a research on appropriate keywords - use free research tools to find good keywords such as the Google Adwords Keyword tool. You will get lots of suggestion of what people are looking for.

For example:

At the time I am writing this article, overture had they keyword phrase, “skateboarding,” searched 34, 890 times in a one-month period. If you searched on google, you would find 32,600,000 sites show up. That is a lot of competition.

Here is how you would narrow this niche business market down so you can have a piece of the pie: You would dig deeper and when we did, we found the keyword phrase, “skateboarding tips for beginners,” which resulted in 45, 700 competitors and 1,500 searches for the month. This is a better outcome and reason to market this niche.

Having a niche business market that you can dominate without much competition is certain to succeed.

To learn more niche marketing strategies and how to define a niche market, I highly recommend the book, Niche Business Market Success.

Six Common Mistakes Made by Email Marketers

September 25th, 2008

There are lots of mistakes made by beginning email marketers.  When your email messages are not well thought out, you will not get the responses you want.  If you’re not getting the responses you want, you are losing money and wasting time.  Not only are you losing time and money, but your list recipients will start to recognize your poor quality.  Once that happens, it is very difficult to regain their interest and curiosity.

Best Internet Business Builder

Most of the mistakes can be broken down into one of the following general categories.

1.      Over Use of Personalization.  All auto responders allow you to personalize your email.  This is a great feature if it’s used correctly.  The problem is that with many emails the creator believes more is always better.  Only use the personalized information when necessary. If I get an email with my name in it several times it makes me feel creepy.  There are times you won’t use personalization at all.   Just think how you would have a normal conversation with a friend.

2.      Over Use of Power Words.  You probably know that you can’t scream at your prospects with capital bold letters and exclamation points.  Well, you also can’t use power words either.  Here are two examples.  “If I don’t tell you about this I will EXPLODE”.  “This is the GREATEST THING I have ever seen”.  This type of thing just doesn’t work today.

3.      Too Formal.  Writing for the internet should be just like you are talking.  Write as if you are talking to your friends in a bar or other comfortable social gathering.  Throw out most of what you learned in English class.  Even punctuation is not important.  Save the formal writing for your doctorate thesis.  Correct spelling is important because you do want to look professional and literate.

4.      Two or More Offers.  One offer, one email.  Don’t send an email and have several offers included.  You will confuse and distract the prospect. They might not know what to do by the time they get to your call to action or close.  Focus their thinking on just one offer.  Stay on point and then ask them to click on the benefit they will receive.

5.      No Clear Call to Action.  Every email must tell the prospect what action to take.  Don’t hesitate to ask them to buy your offer or click the link.  If you don’t tell them to take an action they probably won’t.  So many emails beat around the bush.  Get to the point and tell them what to do.  If you don’t you are wasting their time and yours.

6.      Talking About Yourself Too Much.  Your prospects don’t care about you or your problems or glories.  They want to know what you are going to do for them.  What benefit you are going to give them.  Your emails are not the time for long chats.  Use your stories for squeeze pages, websites or eBooks when the prospect will give you more time. This is an email and everybody gets lots of them everyday.

These are the main blatant mistakes.  Lots of other mistakes can be categorized into one of these six.  Go back and make notes for yourself.  By avoiding these common mistakes you’ll  get a lot better response from your email campaigns.

Merchant Account Comparison - A Simple Way To Compare Credit Card Processing Accounts

September 24th, 2008

Being able to take credit cards is critical to any business wanting to actively sell goods and services on the Net. When businesses started selling online it was thought that using credit cards for Internet purchases was a bad idea, because it was trying to apply an offline system to the Web. Startup companies launched alternative payment methods for example “flooz”, but none of the e-currencies took off. Therefore, approximately 10 years on from the commercial birth of the Internet, still typing in credit card numbers to buy online and accepting credit cards as payment for products online is still vital.

There are basically two ways to accept credit cards online. Let’s compare merchant accounts. Businesses can either apply for their own merchant account, which allows them to process credit cards via a bank gateway, or they can elect to use the services of a third party payment service, who actually processed the credit card orders for the merchant. Getting a merchant account costs more initially, but has smaller per sale costs. Using a third party processor costs less upfront, but has more expensive per item charges.

Making the decision as to whether or not to go for a full merchant card processing account or use a third party solution is only a question of doing the math. Consider these different business types and compare merchant account benefits…

Usually, merchants who are already trading locally and simply want to start selling on the Internet will most likely be more suited to getting a merchant account. Most likely, Usually they will already have a real world credit card processing account and will expand the remit of that account to add the ability to do “MOTO”, which is “Mail Order Telephone Order” credit card orders and simply means that the cardholder is not present at the point of sale.

For small businesses starting starting to sell on the Internet, it’s strongly suggested that they begin by testing their sales using a third party service provider. The advantage is that there’s very little upfront cost which means they can test their market cheaply and easily. If sales boom, they can eventually look to reducing the per-sale fees by obtaining their own merchant card processing account. If the market isn’t profitable, they can quickly leave the marketplace without having paid significant upfront costs to get a merchant card processing account.

Blogging for Profit Explained

September 24th, 2008

Blogging is not just a form of self-communication, it’s also an excellent way to make money online. If you’re new to blogging and yet want to start quickly, there are several business models you can try for maximum results in a short time. This article discussed the three most popular methods.

The first method is get paid to blog or paid blogging. Create your blog and add a few decent articles as the content. Then you signup with paid blogging networks like Pay Per Post or Review Me and see what “opportunities” are available. These networks are filled with advertisers looking for blogger who can help them spread the word, and they are willing to pay. Accept the opportunity, write about it on your blog, and you get paid.

The second method is WordPress and AdSense and it requires a little more technical know-how. You need to build a WordPress blog on a specific niche topic, and start writing some good content on it. Once you’re done, leave comments on other blogs to get some important one-way links. The objective is to get more traffic who will click on your AdSense ads and make you money.

The third and most sophisticated method is affiliate marketing with WordPress blogs. Again, you set-up a good WordPress blog but with this model the amount of content you publish is not as important as the “selling quality” of the content. Each post you write must pre-sell the web visitor and convince him to click on your affiliate links. When the visitor makes a purchase online after that, you get credited for the sale and earn commissions.

Ultimately, which model you choose depends on how much time and resources you can dedicate to creating and managing your blogs. If you’re new, you should choose a low-investment model and compensate by spendingmore time on it. When you get the hang of it, you can venture into other blogging models as well.

How a Real Online Business is Built

September 23rd, 2008

A real online business is built with persistence, hard work and dedication.  In addition you must leverage your working time with a goal for the day and stay focused. Best Internet Business Builder was built one day at a time.

If you’re like me, you probably know first-hand just how hard it is to stay focused when you’re online. There’s email, YouTube, marketing forums, interesting blogs and everything else in between that can easily and stealthily eat up half your day before you even know it. This is a silent killer.

There’s actually a lot of folks out there who are so addicted to “interacting” online, checking their stats, checking email and then basically repeating the same process over and over again that they spend literally all day accomplishing nothing.

I know, because I used to be one of them. And it’s deceptive - you don’t really realize how much time you’re devoting to worthless activities unless you’re keeping track of it. And until you actually start making money, it can often feel like “learning” on forums, someone’s blog or whatever else is progress. It’s not.

It can be helpful, but it’s not progress, because you’re not creating, you’re simply wasting time. Try and do something profitable every day.  Each day ad content to your website, research another marketing niche, write an article, work on your auto responder campaign, or start a new website.  Do something to add to your assets.

All of us in this or any business need help focusing.  You should have written goals.  Yes you do have to write them down.  Divide your goals up into short term, next 30 days and long term, next 12 months. Start with the long term.  Write down where you want your internet business to be next year.  Make the goals reasonable.  Now decide what you have to accomplish each month to reach that 12 month goal.

Now work on the short term goals.  What do you have to accomplish every day to reach your 1 month goal?  I know this is very basic, but it works.  For example, if part of your marketing strategy is to use article marketing decide on how many articles you need to write next month.  OK let’s say you are going to write 20 articles to be submitted.  You will need to write one per day 5 days a week.  This is a realistic goal and it will drive a lot of traffic.  You must set goals and monitor them.

Internet marketing businesses are built one small step at a time. You have to stay focused on the little steps each day.  In the beginning you will only make small gains.  Your income may only increase by small percentages monthly.  Stay focused during this time. Remember,  your income can be quite large and you’re on auto pilot.  Think about coming back from a long vacation and you’ve made more money while you were away than you spent on that vacation.  You are building residual income whether you know it or not.

It will be easy when starting your business to drift away from your goals when you’re not making much money.  All your time effort and small investment seems to be going out the door.  Well, if you’re focused it’s not going out the door.  You are building assets that will work hard for you.

Stay consistent.   Get into a routine to build your assets every day.  Remember in this business it is very easy to get distracted.  No, don’t follow all those ads promising no work.  Limit you email time and focus on the goal.  Don’t stop until the goal for that day is met.

Remember that it’s a simple equation.  All things equal and assuming that you’re in profitable markets - the more websites, opt-in lists, products and other actual assets you own - the more you’ll make, period. Yes, it starts out small. But it starts adding up real quick as you keep on adding to your assets.
