Some people write articles for the shear joy of it. <br /><br />Let’s be honest. One of the reasons you’re reading this book in the first<br />place is because somewhere inside of you, you decided that you<br />wanted to be a writer. When you were a kid, maybe you wrote short<br />stories. I know when I was in school, I had no choice. Every English<br />class they made us write short stories, poems, and other tidbits. <br /><br />But as I think back to those days, I realize that if it weren’t for my teachers cramming Hemmingway down my throat, I probably never would<br />have wanted to become a writer. Sometimes school is a good thing.<br />Others have not so purist intentions. Let’s face it. Writing is big<br />business. If you think I’m kidding, take a look at the New York Times<br />best seller list. <br /><br />Those people are making a ton of money. Make no<br />mistake about it. Now, I’m not saying that you’re going to make a<br />fortune writing articles, but if you follow a structure for writing for<br />the Internet (I’ll explain that in detail later) and a plan for marketing<br />your articles (also in more detail later) then there is no reason why<br />you can’t make a decent living online, just from writing alone.<br /><br />For our purposes, we’re going to write articles for two reasons.<br /><br />1. We’re going to write articles for the purpose of getting<br />immediate payment for our writing. There are a number of<br />places online where you can submit articles for pay. Personally,<br />this is something I do each day. Not so much the writing for pay<br />(who has the time anymore?) but the finding of places to share<br />with my people. The list of places where you can submit your<br />articles and get paid is growing daily.<br /><br />2. The second reason is to make an income from our articles in<br />what I call an indirect manner or “going through the back<br />door.” This is one of the most popular means of earning a living<br />on the Internet, which mixes article writing with affiliate<br />marketing and just about everything else you can think of that<br />has to do with making money.<br /><br />But how? How is it that people can write articles and not only get paid<br />for them but also use them to earn money from other sources?<br />To understand that, you have to understand a little bit about how the<br />Internet works.<br /><br />It’s actually a very logical process. A person who “surfs” the net, is<br />most likely looking for information about something. It doesn’t<br />matter what that information is. With today’s search engine<br />technology, you can find information on just about anything. Simply<br />go to your favorite search engine (Google will be fine) and type in<br />anything at all. Doesn’t matter what it is.<br /><br />Let’s take…”Skydiving”<br /><br />I just did that and came up with 5,420,000 results, or web pages that<br />contain the word “skydiving.”<br /><br />Now, obviously you’re not going to go through all 5,420,000 results.<br />It would take you about 50 years of Sundays. Most people go as far as<br />page 3, if that, and then either find what they’re looking for or stop.<br /><br />Experienced search engine users will know how to narrow that down<br />to what they’re looking for specifically.<br /><br />Let’s say you just want information about “skydiving history.” Well,<br />you could either type that in, with the quotes, or you can type in<br />“history of skydiving.”<br /><br />Let’s do both.<br /><br />Typing in “skydiving history” we get only 13,700 web pages.<br /><br />Wow, that is quite a difference.<br /><br />Typing in “history of skydiving” we get only 1,800 results.<br /><br />Now we’re really narrowing down our results a lot.<br /><br />The point is, the people who are typing in these keyword phrases are<br />looking for something specific. Your mission, as the writer, is to give<br />them EXACTLY what they are looking for. To do that, you simply<br />write an article on that subject.<br /><br />So, if you wanted to target people who are looking for information on<br />the history of skydiving, the “spin” on the article that you will write<br />will be to concentrate on just that specific topic.<br /><br />We’ll cover all these things in more detail as we go one.<br />What you need to get out of this though is that as a writer, if you are<br />doing this for the money, you MUST first figure out what people want<br />to read. If you write on topics that are not “profitable” then you’re<br />simply wasting your time, unless of course you love writing that<br />much. Well, we’re going to teach you how to write for fun and profit,<br />because believe it or not, you CAN have both.<br /><br />So in summary, we are writing articles, for the purpose of our book,<br />so that we can earn a small income, at first, from doing so. <br /><br />Over time, as you get more experienced, you will earn more money as a<br />freelancer and the articles you’ve written for search engine lookups,<br />as I like to call them, will be bringing you even more money because<br />of all the backlinks and visitors they’ll be getting you. Don’t worry,<br />we’ll explain all this in detail later on in the book.<br />The next thing you need to learn is what I call the not to do’s.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-69725947732995298132010-01-25T13:28:00.001+08:002010-01-25T13:36:28.214+08:00Niche Marketing With No Competition?Hi There!<br /><br />Niche marketing used to be very easy a<br />few years ago when it's 'new'.<br /><br />Right now, you'll have tough competition to<br />sell another 'dog training' or 'stop smoking'<br />ebook online!<br /><br />The reason is simple because there are<br />already plenty of authorities in most of the<br />profitable niche markets out there.<br /><br />Secondly, anyone can get into the market<br />easily with private label rights content<br />or hiring cheap freelance writers.<br /><br />**BUT** there's another huge goldmine<br />in niche marketing that many are still<br />unaware of...<br /><br />By going into local niche marketing.<br /><br />You can start now with almost zero competition<br />in your market!<br /><br />This is **NEW** but it won't be long if you<br />let others to get ahead of you, find out how<br />to do this now...<br /><br /><a href="http://automationcart.com/jvm/s25/136ig/7677">You can visit the site, here...</a><br /><br />Warm regards,<br /><br />Biztyro@gmail.com<br /><br />P.S: Not only it's easy to start making money<br />online with local niche marketing, it has the<br />potential to make hundreds of thousands<br />because you're dealing with 'real' people.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://automationcart.com/jvm/s25/136ig/7677">Don't be left behind, check it out--it is worth the small amount you pay...</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />--------Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-78298175033081419732009-12-31T19:06:00.006+08:002009-12-31T19:26:27.534+08:00Online Business Opportunities -- Yearend 2009What can I say? Online Business Opportunities 2009? I have not made good of my quest for an Internet Business this year. I have tried and experimented with my own ebook, which I priced at a low price--and I wasn't able to sell even one. OMG! =)<br /><br />I had one sale though from clickbank for a writing guide ebook. Only $6 commission--and has not been repeated since. OMG! again! =)<br /><br />I'm frustrated, but not that much: I am doing well with my freelance writing gigs.<br /><br />But with online business opportunities, I am having second thoughts whether I could really succeed here. But I am not quitting just yet. This year, I have spent lots of money for 'make money online' courses, and I am disappointed. tsk tsk tsk!<br /><br />My advice: Think twice before buying any of such online courses. There is just no guarantee for success. Look at the earnings disclaimer on their sales pages. There are just too many factors at play that can affect your online success.<br /><br />You can also just read for free on information on websites around. Then experiment with any learning you have gained. The Internet can provide good information if you know where to look. Also, even some Internet Gurus encourage studying offline systems, techniques and strategies to apply in your online business. For example, they have recommended reading "Scientific Advertising" by Claude Hopkins, etc.<br /><br />Online Business Opportunities 2010 -- I am optimistic still, OMG! hehe yeah, really, even with my dismal failure.

Brown of "Affiliatenaire"<br /><br />.........................<br /><br />Using ezine articles is a great way to promote your favor<br />affiliate program. What I'd like to do in this article is<br />provide you with a simple system for effectively writing<br />an ezine article that strategically promotes your offer.<br /><br />There are five steps...<br /><br /><br />1. CHOOSE THE OFFER YOU WISH TO PROMOTE<br /><br />This one is kind of a no-brainer. It all begins with deciding <br />what you want to promote. What offer would you like to <br />send traffic to.<br /><br /> HINT: You can promote your affiliate link directly, but <br /> what works better is to promote a list at YOUR site which <br /> you then use to promote your affiliate link over and over <br /> again after the visitor becomes a subscribers.<br /><br />2. DETERMINE YOUR "USEFUL, BUT INCOMPLETE" APPROACH.<br /><br />I love to use what I have coined as the "useful, but <br />incomplete" approach when using freebies of any kind. <br />(Ezine articles, free eBooks, reports, eCourses, etc.)<br /><br />What I mean by that is simply this: You provide your reader <br />with "useful" information (something they find of value and <br />are able to actually apply) but make certain that it is <br />"incomplete" in that they can better use the information <br />by making a purchase.<br /><br />That's "useful, but incomplete." And it works like a charm.<br /><br />The idea is to use your content to build up to your desired <br />response. You provide the reader with content, and then <br />you make an offer that allows them to fully utilize the <br />content, gain extra insight from the content or maximize <br />the content in some additional way.<br /><br />Let me give you an example -<br /><br /> If I wanted to promote an autoresponder service in an<br /> ezine article, how could I do it? I'd write an article<br /> that explains how to benefit from using autoresponders.<br /> My article would exlain different uses of autoresponders<br /> and how the reader could profit from implementing the<br /> ideas. <br /><br />** I.E. 7 Ways To Create Revenue Streams With Autoresponders<br /><br />Naturally, they will need an autoresponder service in order to<br />use the information, right? And I just happen to know of a <br />great service they can use. More on that later.<br /><br />OK, so that's an example of how to promote a SERVICE offer <br />with your ezine article. What about a software product or an <br />eBook?<br /><br />Want some examples?<br /><br />Good, because I've got two...<br /><br />TO PROMOTE A SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Let's suppose you want to promote <br />a software program that creates "ecovers". How can you do it? <br /><br />-- Write an article outlining how important presentation of your<br /> offer is, and how creating a cover graphic can increase response<br /> rates by up to 1300%<br /><br />-- Write a step-by-step tutorial article for "do-it-yourselfers",<br /> explaining how to design your own graphics from scratch. Then<br /> promote the software as a super-simplified way of doing it.<br /><br />TO PROMOTE AN EBOOK. Let's suppose you want to promote an ebook<br />that teaches advanced list-building strategies. How can you do it?<br /><br />-- Write an article that covers the "basics" of building lists, <br /> and then promote the eBook as the "advanced" tactics.<br /><br />-- Write an article on how to profit from a list, and then promote <br /> the eBook as the "how to build the list."<br /> <br />See how easy this is?<br /><br />That's how it works. Determine what your "useful, but incomplete" <br />approach will be, and then...<br /><br />3. TURN YOUR APPROACH INTO A TIPS OR TUTORIAL ARTICLE. <br /><br />Let's use my example again. I decided that I would describe various <br />uses of autoresponders and how the reader can actually profit from <br />them. What kind of tips list or tutorial could I create?<br /> <br />* How to Generate More Subscribers, Sales and Profits With <br /> Automated Follow-Up Messages"<br /><br />* 7 Powerful And Profitable Ways To Use Autoresponders To Skyrocket <br /> Your Sales and Subscribers!<br /><br />* Want to Increase Your Online Profits And Leads? Here are 7 Ways <br /> to Do It...<br /> <br />I actually went with the middle title. I wrote my list of the 7 <br />ideas that I wanted to share. And I had the makings of a perfect <br />article to promote an offer.<br /><br />That's all you need to do. Determine your end result. Decide how <br />to get there with your "useful, but incomplete" approach. And then <br />develop a list, or even a step-by-step tutorial for your article <br />that leads the reader along.<br /><br />With each new "idea" or "way" or "tip" or "step" or "strategy" <br />that you share, you can further direct the reader towards <br />realizing their need of your upcoming offer, and lay the <br />foundation for them to accept the offer.<br /><br />4. EXPAND ON EACH POINT TO BUILD YOUR CONTENT.<br /><br />Here's more of the easy part. Just "fill-in-the-blanks" to complete <br />your article. Write 1-2 short paragraphs for each of your points. <br />Make them good. Provide quality content. The offer you will soon <br />make will see poor results if your information isn't useful.<br /><br />Remember, you are trying to presell the reader on the idea that <br />they are going to need your offer. If you don't provide them with <br />quality information that they WANT to begin using immediately, <br />then why will they want to buy what you are promoting?<br /><br />Light a fire in them. Motivate them. Challenge them. Give them <br />such nuggets of gold that they want to keep mining until they <br />hit the mother lode!<br /><br />5. PUT ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES WITH THE "FIVE PILLARS"<br /><br />There are five things that you should always do to finish up <br />your ezine article. Don't skip any of them. They are all <br />critical...<br /><br />* POLISH. Re-read your article. Does it provide information <br /> that really is "useful" to the reader? And yet leaves them <br /> wanting even more? That's what you want. Polish it. Put <br /> on the wax and make it shine. It has a very specific <br /> purpose -- make certain it has the means to achieve it.<br /><br />* PROMOTE. Use your resource box to promote your offer. This <br /> is why we've written the article, right? Remember step one? <br /> It's time to put it into play. Give the reader what they <br /> (hopefully) are wanting...a way to maximize the information <br /> you gave them.<br /><br />* PROOF. Don't do this yourself. Have a trusted friend, relative <br /> or co-worker check your article for grammatical and <br /> typographical errors. The last thing you want to do is present <br /> a poor image after sharing some high quality information.<br /><br />* PUBLISH. Zip your new article out to your favorite list of <br /> publishers. Submit it to the announcement lists and the ezine <br /> directories. Don't forget to publish it yourself in your own <br /> newsletter! <br /><br />* PROFIT. If you've covered all the bases that I've mentioned, <br /> then profits are almost certain to start coming in when your <br /> ezine article is published. You deserve it. Be proud of your <br /> accomplishments.<br /><br />And then start it all over again!<br /><br />That's how you promote your favorite <a href="http://bmrclicks.affnaire.hop.clickbank.net">affiliate program in 5 easy<br />steps</a> using ezine articles.<br /><br />Obviously, there are many other ways to promote your affiliate<br />program, as well as a considerable more "details" in the strategy<br />we've looked at today.

The 9 to 5 rat race is just too boring, especially if you know there is more for you out there. But if you also want the security of a job to go along with your business ventures, that would be perfectly fine. Just make sure that your job does not suffer due to your other ventures. Be fair to your employer and give them their money’s worth still. If you can’t focus anymore on your job, you should try to give your employers what are due them.<br /><br />Entrepreneurship is an adventure, but not without some risk. It is a good way to try your business sense. So be sure that you are determined to really pursue your business once you started one, otherwise, you may just be wasting your money. Always have a plan, and your risks should be well-calculated.<br /><br />A lot is to be learned if you want to pursue being an entrepreneur, yet it is a fulfilling endeavor.

The question you should answer however is: What are the right online business opportunities for you?<br /><br />Tips on the right online biz:<br />1.) Read the online business opportunity carefully. Not all will be right for you. Remember, these online opportunities are also out there, to make money, just like you. There is always a catch to these things--so be wary. In these business opportunities in the Internet, don't be too trusting.<br />2.) Beware of online biz scams. Just like in the brick and mortar world, there are entities out there that will not think twice of misleading you, and taking your money away from you--right from your very nose. It is thus worthy of your time as well, to read on forums, if these opportunities have complaints already raised; at least you can avoid the headaches these bring.<br />3.) Don't be in a hurry. If these online business opportunities are the real thing, they will still be there for a long time. So take your time, just bookmark the sites you think are valid, and come back later on.<br /><br />Succeeding online, is not as easy as you think. Don't easily trust anyone who claims for easy money over the Internet. Sure you can make money, but not unless you have a good product to provide, will you make a good amount of money. Also, if you have a site with high traffic, there is a possibility that your chances of online success are higher--but there is no assurance.<br /><br />Succeeding online takes time. You have to study the system, and make sure you are not wasting your time and effort. Online success is not impossible, but put in the necessary research and hard work. As time goes by, you will realize these to be true.<br /><br />For the time being, let us content ourselves with a Merry Christmas =) Sooner or later, we will reach our dreams.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-77276087930344101952008-12-24T05:40:00.003+08:002008-12-24T06:07:43.285+08:00Mylot.com Online EarningsI have just recently registered to <a href="http://www.mylot.com/?ref=clickmind">mylot.com</a> and I find the people in the network to be friendly.<br /><br />The idea here is to be active: you start new discussions, comment on current ones, add friends and many more--as long as you do something!<br /><br />The update for your earnings page will be every 24 hrs.

And reading each of these online biz opportunities excites you so much, that you would easily be tempted to join in – and possibly cash in, on the almost instant cash these businesses often claim to be able to give out.<br /><br />The Promise of Wealth - In an Online Biz Opportunity <br /><br />Promises – lots of it - are written on the sales pitches of these online biz opportunities. These are so well written and well planned to charm the readers, that they are so effective in getting people from all walks of life to sign up, join in – and perhaps, even pay some amount to avail of the online biz opportunity they offer.<br /><br />Many are indeed captivated by these online biz opportunities. The claims are just so perfect, that missing on the chance may prove to be detrimental to our part – so we usually think.

Having an online business may sound simple, but it would take a lot of hardwork.<br /><br />There are many online businesses to choose from - one needs to be careful where to invest his money though, as like in the brick-and-mortar businesses - scams are as prevalent.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Always have a business plan...</span><br /><br />One thing I learned from one of my Chinese bosses was to always have a plan.<br /><br />He never failed to emphasize the value of having one, as one can only measure where he is now if he has first made a plan, otherwise everything was left to chance afterall.<br /><br />Thus, before anything else, first, have a plan...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Every peso counts, every cents even...</span><br /><br />In business, and in life, if one indeed values money truly, every peso counts.<br /><br />Especially in business, moreso if one is operating under a tight budget, the cost of operations should be checked.<br /><br />There are always opportunities for improvements, and for cost savings if one just takes the time to study it.<br /><br />I've worked under Chinese managers - it is only recently that I appreciate more what it feels like to be in their shoes, now that I'm having my own business...<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Is an MBA a requisite for entrepreneurs?</span><br /><br />taken from bizdrivenlife.net:<br /><br /> "Is an MBA necessary?

I do believe that there should be different strokes for different folks.<br /><br />This is why managers should also take the time to know their employees. Knowing the employees' backgrounds, personalities, and work ethics will prove to be very useful when dealing with them -- either when you praise their work, or when you give disciplinary actions.<br /><br />Different people respond differently on praises or criticisms given to them. Some would prefer being praised silently, either thru an email or by one-on-one talk -- while others prefer that their achievements and praises be made known to the whole world, if that ever should be possible.<br /><br />In the same way, others respond best when criticisms are done one-on-one, in a closed-door session. Others would feel fine being criticized openly.<br /><br />Thus, to be able to do well in the area of management and motivation, these should be given due consideration.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-85779276553049313512007-02-16T19:35:00.003+08:002007-02-16T19:35:51.722+08:00The Importance Of Having Business GoalsTo be able to know how well your business is doing, you must have goals in the first place.<br /><br />How will you know if you achieved your goal for the period, if you have not established standards by which you can compare your performance against.<br /><br />Business goals are the key to keeping you in the right track. These goals keep you focused on what important things need to be done in line with what you want achieved. With tight competition around, straying away from your main objective would prove to be detrimental to your business.<br /><br />Always be determined to set business goals, and you will find yourself consistently doing only those things that will have a positive impact on your business objectives.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-36060577109246784502007-02-16T19:35:00.001+08:002007-02-16T19:35:24.908+08:00All About MarketingWhen you’re in business, you are in the business of marketing. With any products or services you have, it does no good how many product lines you have or how excellent the quality may be – if not enough people know about your business, you will surely have a hard time realizing sales needed to make your business profitable.<br /><br />Thus, it is wise to put enough focus on your marketing strategies especially during your start-up. And continue to be aggressive all throughout your operation. Keep in mind that competitors are only waiting for the opportunity to push you aside, and claim their share of the market.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-42589777909528909432007-02-16T19:34:00.001+08:002007-02-16T19:34:59.888+08:00The Value Of Your PeopleA company should always value the people working for them. Your staff are the key to your success, or to your failure. They represent you, & your company.<br /><br />When those outside see your staff happy, effective in their work, and good persons - it will show the culture you have in your company, and the values your people share inside.<br /><br />Take care of your people, train them, and then make them accountable of their work. Empower your people to carry out their jobs effectively.<br /><br />Show your people that you care for them and their future. In turn, your people will do what they can to make your company meet the objectives set.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-53857226362855972332007-02-16T19:33:00.002+08:002007-02-16T19:34:35.122+08:00Customer is Always FirstOur customers provide us with the money to continue operating our business. It is why we always provide the best customer service we can. We go out of our way to make things easy for them, to make things convenient for them when they transact business with us.<br /><br />But did you ever encounter customers who always seem to have a concern or a problem? Not including those who do have valid concerns - but there are just people who seem to demand more out of you, your staff, your services or products - they seem never to be satisfied with your best.<br /><br />What do we do on such situations? difficult, right? While we want them to stay a customer, dealing with such people seem to make you lose more, than earn.<br /><br />For me, if I find that their requests are far out, and in fact demands too much - I would prefer ending the relationship. I consider it more of a loss to devote all of my resources pleasing one customer, and seem to never satisfied. I'd rather concentrate on pleasing the many who are perhaps my true customers.<br /><br />Customers indeed should come first, but they never are always right.

I believe entrepreneurs should give back to society as a way of thanking them on subscribing to the products and services these businessmen provide.<br /><br />As the bible says in substance, 'to whom much is given, much is expected..' - I believe that heeding the call of social responsibility is the way to go.<br /><br />No matter how much you earn, it is best to share. I always believe that to the degree of your generous heart, much more will be given back to you by the One above.<br /><br />It is sometimes difficult to give, especially if the business is not doing good. Then share only what your heart is capable of giving. No matter how little this may seem to you, this might be a lot for those on the receiving end.<br /><br />The point is in appreciating the value of sharing. Businesses, in being helpful to the local community, will reap benefits from the goodwill produced.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037031353985169878.post-45334228279590969412007-02-16T19:31:00.000+08:002007-02-16T19:32:11.815+08:00Internet Business Opportunities<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Many are looking for a chance to become rich.<span style=""> </span>An attractive business opportunity is grabbed upon quickly in the hope that this will finally lead one to financial freedom.<span style=""> </span>Oftentimes decisions are made hastily, investing on business opportunities that do not have the potential to yield high returns – or worst, being victimized by scams.<span style=""> </span><o:p><br /></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Over the web, Internet business opportunities abound.
