How to Build Your Business without Running Broke

January 26, 2017 By Benjamin

Money-for-your-business When you start a business, you need money or some form of capital. But an online business doesn’t need as much. You can get the capital you need from doing odd jobs online.

If you’ve tried a number of things and nothing‘s working then the solution is to get at least one stable revenue stream. Otherwise you’re just spending money you don’t have on something that might not work. Because it can take as much as 6 months to figure out how to make money with an online business.

When you have another revenue stream coming in you can afford to spend on things like advertising, coaching and software. You don’t have to spend the money that should go to your day to day responsibilities. Just the other day an internet marketer was wondering how he’d keep going now that his wife had taken away all his credit and debit cards. She felt that he was just wasting money.

You won’t feel guilty when you have this other revenue stream to take care of your online business. So you need a basic revenue stream and this can be anything such as typing/transcription work on sites like Mechanical Turk. There are many different jobs you can do for up to $70. You wont make this much in the beginning but as you go on building trust you’ll get approved for higher paying jobs.

Now getting approved for Mechanical Turk may be a problem. Especially if you’re not in North America. But there are many more Freelance sites like Upwork which merged with Elance and Odesk. Freelancer, Fiverr, 99designs, Guru, Peopleperhour the list is never ending. You can even just search for Freelance websites or Sites like Upwork and find even more.

Work-at-home-Free-Lance And what exactly can you do on this sites? Everything really like typing, writing articles, software development, making bots, data entry, graphic design, web design, translation, Word Press, Virtual Assistants, Admin support, Sales and Marketing and so on. There are hundreds of jobs posted everyday. Things that you’ve learned from school, the internet or whatever because there’s something we are good at. And you can get paid to do it.

All these sites are looking for people to do all kinds of things. If you’ve studied internet marketing in any way then there’s already something you’re good at. From basic graphic design to web programming, writing or designing a web page. Because people don’t have time and they’ll gladly pay someone else to do it.

So find a way to get revenue until you find that way to bring in money that you really enjoy. The revenue will take care of your business activities. Whether it’s research, your own training and marketing without putting you in a tight spot. It’s hard when your family doubts what you’re trying to achieve. And they’ll be happy when you’re making money and you’ll have the confidence that you can succeed in your business. One useful resource that can save you a lot of time is this one below. Check it out.

Where to find Work at Home Jobs

October 6, 2014 By Benjamin

53e6bc37x73367a8c4446&690 Many people want to work from home doing a typical 9 to 5 job. So you’d think that such jobs are easy to find since there’s a lot of demand. But finding such jobs is actually a big problem for the people that need them despite all the advertising. These jobs are actually hard to find such that you have to do a lot of research to find the legitimate ones, a task that is complicated by the many scams out there. You need to do some research to find legitimate work at home jobs.

You may have seen scams that present themselves as opportunities as seen on TV on the major TV networks like CNN, NBC, ABC and so on. Some of them even claim to have been featured on popular talk shows like The Oprah Winfrey show.

But when you get to the site, you find something that isn’t convincing enough like some thing’s not right. In many cases you’ll find that the links that are supposed to lead to other sections of the website either go nowhere or just lead back to the page you’re on.

Another scam involves pretending to be an actual work at home directory which in reality is something else. I fell for this once and remember how it turned out to be some kind of Affiliate Network instead.

However, there are many companies such as 1-800-Flowers that hire people to work at home and you can seek them out using resources like linkup to find work at home jobs. First go through the types of work at home jobs available and those that are listed. Then search for those that want freelancers or people who can work from home. A lot of these positions are listed online.

Linkup pulls information only from employer websites. It does not require you to submit any personal information and the results are direct from the source. Other sites like Simplyhired and Indeed gather information from employer sites as well as job boards, newspapers, company pages and associations.

Now before we go further, it’s important to note that you need to have the skills and qualifications required just like you would for any other ordinary job. In some cases, you may need to get additional equipment and a fast and reliable internet connection. Jobs that promise lots of money with little investment of time and no experience are not legitimate. Legitimate work at home jobs will require you to have the relevant skills for the job.

Now, to find a work at home job, search with words like telecommute, remote and virtual. You can also add the specific job titles, skills and certifications or job category. You can also narrow it down to location by adding the zip codes and cities.

It also has other functions to help you find jobs basing on job title, description and location. But as always, do your research with these results so that you choose a work at home job that is right for you.

Internet-Affiliate Marketing Scams Abound – Or Do They?

August 22, 2014 By Benjamin

Go on the internet and do research on any hundreds or maybe even thousands of online business opportunities out there and I guarantee you will find negative comments on probably all of them. Multitudes of people screaming SCAM and RIP-OFF! It’s enough to make a wannabe online entrepreneur gasp in desperation of not being able to find a legitimate opportunity.

But is this really the case? In my experience the answer is a big resounding NOPE! I can write for days on this topic so I will try my best to give more of a “30,000 foot view” instead.

As I see it, by virtue of its low cost of start-up needed, the boundless opportunities available online, the proverbial “grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side” mentality, the internet and affiliate business industry is very transient. It attracts the tire-kicker, people looking to get something for nothing and a general lack of business know-how.

People want to get rich and they want it now, and those advertising these opportunities promise them as much just to draw them in which is wrong. It not only wrongs the individual person, but the industry as a whole. That’s why they are labelled scams. And it’s unfortunate.

In my research over the years, I have found there to be very few real legitimate business opportunities relative to the hundreds and thousands offered out there. But they are out there if you are diligent in your research, know what to look for and follow the system laid out for you.

Easy right? Well, let me go over what makes people fail in this industry, how to NOT fail and why there are not as many scams out there as the cynics and “ex would-be entrepreneurs” would have you believe.

So, one thing I noticed after reading many scam posts and rip-off websites is that the majority of these people did not actually work the business. They do what most people do, which is they buy the membership, product or service that is supposed to help them succeed and they do nothing with it.

They get the information, read it over, decide it’s too much work, so they do nothing and then complain the business is a rip-off! I know that sounds absurd, but it’s true. Sometimes you have to read between the lines of a lot of these posts and maybe understand the lingo to get what they are saying, but there it is in black and white.

If you got rid of those types of “scam posts”, I believe that would eliminate the vast majority of scam and rip-off reports on the internet.

Another reason for the failures that make up the scam reports are well intentioned online entrepreneurs who try to work the business, but either do it their own way instead of what is taught, try to do too may business opportunities at one time leading to a lack of focus or they choose a business they are not really passionate about and only interested in the monetary aspect of it. With all that said, they might as well have picked a scam.

Now what about successes? How do you achieve success in the affiliate internet marketing industry? How do you separate the online opportunity wheat from the chaff? Honestly, it takes a long time of research and education about this industry to pick the winners from the losers and the scams and rip-offs from the legitimate businesses.

“Oh great” you say. “Now what the heck do I do?” Well, this is what you have to do:

Commit to finding the best affiliate – internet marketing opportunity for you.
Once you have found it, focus on that opportunity and follow the system exactly from those that teach it.
Do the work that is required to succeed and nothing less.

In summary, there are plenty of legitimate opportunities to choose from online. Many people just like you and me have found good opportunities. All you have to do is work it and take it seriously. If you do that, you will succeed and won’t be one of those whiners and complainers you see all over the internet.

If you’re thinking of joining an internet business opportunity but do not know where to start or what to look for, then get to yourself a free consultation on how you can find an internet business opportunity that’s right for you. You’ll also get to know the truth about a proven business opportunity that’s misunderstood by so many people today. As a result, many people fail at it and swear off it for life.

Top 10 ways to promote your site on the Internet

February 26, 2014 By Benjamin

Now that you’ve created your website, the next thing is to drive traffic to it. Here is a list of my top 10 ways of doing that.

1. Search Engines

If you have a blog site built on Word Press, then you’re off to a great start. If your site it not a word press blog site then you should consider creating a blog section on your site. That’s because such blogs are able to contain the keywords or search words that the engines like without looking like a deliberate attempt to Spam the search results.

2. Distributing your articles.

Content marketing is a good way of promoting your site. Make it a habit to write at least one or two articles a day and submit them to article directories. The articles should have the authors box at the bottom that tells the readers who you are and what you’re about. This of course includes your URL which they can click to your site. Some of the best directories include sites like Ezinearticles, and Goarticles among others. You can search for ‘Article Directories’ in the main search engines.

3. Pay-per-click advertising

Websites such as Google and Yahoo are great places to get started with pay-per-click. With this technique, you buy advertising from a site to display a tiny ad based on selected keywords. You then pay only for actual clicks on your ads instead of displays of your ad. When managed well, pay-per-click can drive a lot of traffic to your site. However, this method has a steep learning curve and you should not try it just yet if you’re new to Internet marketing.

4. Email marketing

If you’re selling anything on the Internet with a website then a list of email subscribers who want to hear from you is a must. Take time to build a list of subscribers who will receive valuable news and other content from you on a regular basis. It’s such people with trust in you who are most likely to buy your offers. You can offer your site visitors a free gift, or a free report for joining your mailing list. Invest in a good auto-responder like Trafficwave instead of the free ones so that your emails look Professional.

5. Syndicate content using RSS (Real Simple Syndication)

While email marketing is great, there are a number of people prefer RSS feeds instead. So you also have to make your content available to your site visitors through this medium. Whenever you publish content on your site, people who have subscribed to your RSS feed will get it on their RSS reader. A number of readers exist like Digg reader, Feedly, Aol reader and many others. You can syndicate your content using RSS sites like Feedburner.com.

6. Post in Forums, Discussion boards and Groups

Participate in forums, discussion boards and groups that are relevant to your sites content or niche. You can find them in the search engines, search for your keywords followed by forum, discussion group. Once you’ve joined and logged into your members area, create your own signature that will be added at the bottom of all your posts with a link to your site. Then take the time to look through and find where you can make a meaningful contribution to the discussions with valuable information that adds to your reputation and credibility.

7. Use your email signature

Create an email signature that will be sent out along with every email that you send. It can include your name, your sites tag line and your URL. You can also include links to your social media pages like Facebook and Twitter.

8. Advertise in relevant Ezines

Ezines are like an electronic version of the traditional magazine and usually focus on a a specific niche market. Find ezines like the Adland Digest that are relevant to your niche and advertise your site or what you have to offer. Sometimes you may find an ezine that doesn’t accept advertising, but you can offer to sponsor the ezine instead.

9. Classified Ads

You only need to search for ‘Classified ads sites’ in the search engines to find the thousands that exist on the Internet. Many are free while others are paid sites. The best site of all is still Craigslist. You can get lots of traffic from this site once you master how to advertise on Craigslist. But if you find that your product or service is not acceptable, the next best thing is Backpage. Still you may find that your site or you kind of advertising is not acceptable. There are many others that can You can try them but always track your results to see which ones are working for you and which ones are not. Other classified ad sites to get you started include

10. Social networking sites

Make informative post on social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and then link to your site. That way you don’t violate their terms and conditions and stay relevant by providing useful information to your target market. There are also sites that cater for a specific niche.

Need Help Uncovering The PERFECT Business Idea?

July 24, 2012 By Benjamin

What do planting roses, learning how to box, making balloon animals, and running a half-marathon all have in common?

Nope, they’re not all “Amazing Race” challenges! 😉

For starters, they’re the topics of websites that people just like you have started from scratch in just five days…

… but MORE importantly, they’re websites that are all based on each owner’s particular hobbies, interests, and experiences.

And that’s the key to ANY successful Internet business: Build your website around a topic you LOVE, one you already know something about, and one you’re eager to learn MORE about.

You’ll have a FAR greater chance of success!

That’s because, when you build an Internet business around something you already know a lot about, you can forget about wasting valuable weeks or months trying to get up to speed on your subject.

That leaves you with more free time to focus on creating your website, so you’ll have it live, and earning serious profits, MUCH sooner. And if you decide to sell an info product, like an ebook, you’ll be able to create that product — and have it ready to sell — almost right away!

If your website is a labor of love, you’ll be MUCH more likely to stick with it, and give it your all. You’ll want to write articles, blog posts, and so on, because you genuinely have a hunger to learn more about the topic yourself, and a strong desire to share that knowledge.

So instead of being “work,” your website will feel more like your fun hobby (but one that you can make potentially a LOT of money with)!

Even better, the passion you have for your subject will show in your site’s salescopy, and your unbridled enthusiasm will be bound to get your visitors excited about your subject, too, which will translate into healthy sales.

Finally, when your site is built around something you know a lot about, you’ll be able to speak about it with authority, which is a surefire way to establish your online credibility… something that’s critical when you do business on the Net.

So before you even think about what you’re going to sell online, or who you’re going to sell it to, take inventory of yourself:

What are you interested in?
What are you passionate about?
What subject or topic do you have a lot of knowledge about?
What are people always coming to you for advice about?

And don’t go thinking that you interests or hobbies have to be “serious” or life-changing, either, like curing disease or ending climate change.

As we’ve just shown you, successful websites can be created around any interest imaginable… including balloon animals!

Now, if you happen to be one of those people we hear from all the time who claim they don’t have any areas of interest or expertise, let us just say this: Hogwash!

EVERYONE has something they’re passionate about, and everyone is knowledgeable about something…

… it may just take a bit of digging to uncover it.

To get you started, we’ve developed a 20-question quiz you can use to zero in on your passions and interests, guaranteeing that you start your lucrative website off on the right foot.

We recommend you spend some “quiet time” reading carefully through the questions, and then allow yourself time to answer them thoroughly and truthfully. If you have time, give it a few days. By the end, we’re willing to bet you’ll have uncovered at least a couple of ideas to get you started on the road to Internet success.

And remember: don’t censor yourself! You’re just brainstorming here, so there are no “dumb” answers… 🙂

Here’s the quiz:

Do you play any sports? Which ones?
If you had a million dollars and a week’s worth of free time, what would you do? List the first activities that come to mind.
What websites do you visit when you’re just “surfing around” online? What topics do these sites cover?
Have you ever won a trophy or award? What for?
Have you ever been recognized for a contribution of services? What did you do?
Do you have pets? What kinds? If yes, did you train them a certain way? Shows? Clothes? Hunting? Tricks?
Do you have kids? What do you like best about being a parent? What do you find most challenging?
Do you have any specialized education? Have you ever taken a class in a subject like pottery or sailing?
Have you ever volunteered anywhere? What did you learn through this experience?
What lifetime accomplishment are you most proud of? What did you learn from this experience?
Do you have first-hand knowledge of any medical illnesses or issues? If so, which ones?
Do you collect anything? If so, what?
What television shows do you enjoy? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you ever attend theater events or other events related to the arts?
Is there anything you’ve ever really wanted to do or learn about, but just haven’t had the time for?
At a party, when you’re talking to a stranger, what’s your “fall back” topic of conversation?
At work or with friends, on what subject are you the “go-to” person?
What is you academic background? Any degrees or certificates?
What was your favorite job? What was your role?
What would your best friend say you’re best at?
Have you done any renovations to your house yourself? Have you built or designed anything you’re proud of?

And that’s it! Simple, right?

After you go through the list, you’ll likely find that your challenge will no longer be coming up with any interests, but rather to narrow your list of interests down to just a few!

Then, once you’ve got your list of interests and passions, you can turn them into a profitable website in just 5 days!

Learn how to find a lucrative niche market based on these interests…

… and then build a professional website complete with compelling salescopy, even if you don’t know a THING about HTML.

In fact, just walk through every single step you need to take to start a profitable website from scratch, so you can repeat the process yourself for your other interests, and create MULTIPLE websites all directing money straight to your bank account.

Hundreds of people already (including the ones I told you about at the beginning of this article), and I am happy to report that at the end of five days, every one of them was already getting eager shoppers visiting their brand-new sites!
