1- Where is your focus?

Being focused is the number one challenge, not only for IM’ers, but for anyone trying to reach a goal. In our fast paced and multi-tasking society, it’s hard to get used to focusing on just one thing… and most importantly sticking to it.

So many things distract us… but to really succeed, we need to focus on the strategies we’ve decided on and stick with them.

[Read my previous post on time management.]

2- What are your passions?

If you are focused, but working regularly on topics and methods that don’t interest you or don’t get you excited, you’ll most likely give it up as soon as you run into a challenge (and you will). Being passionate about what you do every day is a big factor to your success.

3- What is your model?

How do you monetize your business? Are you selling a product, promoting others products or earning from advertising? Which model suits your personality best? Try them out and see which works best for you.

4- What is your strategy?

How do you plan to implement your business model? Both in general terms and specific steps as well. Get a handle on what’s first, next, and each step in the process.

Ask yourself these questions and decide what direction you want to take. Be honest with yourself and see what path suits you and your interests, personality and time schedule best.

Focus is most important since it’s easy to be distracted by ‘shiny new things’ in your email every day. Success doesn’t come from ‘a little here and a little there’, it’s essential to give time to your main business and work it until it works… or shift to a new one.

Commit to setting aside time daily for your business and take action, one step at a time. If what your working on right now isn’t bringing you closer to your goals, stop and get focused on activities that do.

To your best success!

As an internet marketer, you may know that building lists is one of the more profitable ways to build your online business. Combine that with affiliate marketing and you have a strong business model.

So what’s the best way to put this into practice?

One of the better models is to create niche specific landing pages (squeeze pages) that entice the visitor to signup for your list and learn the answers that you promote on the landing page.

For example, if you are targeting the wart removal market, you would find a wart removal information product that converts well and then create a landing page that describes the troubles people have with warts, the frustration and then provide them with a solution. Provide them with benefits they can learn by joining your list.

After they confirm their email address, have your autoresponder service send them to the affiliate program link you’re promoting with the Wart Removal solution you promised. Normally, this is the ‘confirmation url’.

Then, follow up with them using email explaining the benefits of the solution you proposed, and your affiliate link where they can get the solution.

Building a list of prospects on a specific topic allows you to market to them on this and related topics for as long as they’re on your list. This gives you a much greater chance to convert sales rather than just sending traffic to an affiliate product directly without capturing their email address.

Some important tips:

First, test to see whether to send them to the affiliate program before or after confirming their address makes a difference on sales and email confirmation conversions. I’ve found that waiting until after confirming their address gets you more serious prospects and more sales in the long run, although you may have fewer subscribers. But test for your market and see what works best.

Next, pick an affiliate product that converts well. If you use Clickbank, check the gravity score. The higher the score means the product is selling and being referred, although you don’t need 500+ scores to find a winner. The scores are more indicative of the competition, but if they are selling, they have a positive gravity score.

Lastly, create a landing page that is persuasive and looks nice. Clean layout with some images relating to the niche you’re promoting seems to increase conversions.

What if you don’t know how to create landing pages?

One solution is to use a template pack already designed with a target market in mind. 

We’ve put together a complete custom designed set of three landing pages, email confirmation pages… plus an autoresponder series for each product.  This pack also includes a custom installation package that requires no HTML knowledge, just follow push-button instructions to customize and upload in minutes. So it’s great for both advanced marketers looking to save time, as well as those new to online marketing.

Only a limited number if these packs are available to protect your profits. I recommend either creating your own pages or using a set like these that are limited in availability. It’s best to have a more unique page not already used by thousands of others to provide your visitor with a great experience and convert more sales that turn into affiliate commissions.

All the best for your success!

Will you still be jumping from new product to new product hoping the next one will work?If you’re already where you want to be with your online business, congratulations! If not, the only way to make a change is to do something different. Wayne Dyer says it well…

“If you want what you’ve never had you must do what you’ve never done.”

Decide on an online strategy and take action. Taking action and continuing to take action regularly until you reach your goals. Then set new ones and repeat. Grow.I know, with the hundreds of distractions we get online every day in the form of product launches, opportunities, ads, services… it’s hard to get ahead for most of us.Here’s the secret to breaking out of the same old same old and getting what you want now.First, Clean Up.Get rid of the distractions and clean up your work space. Remove yourself from lists that don’t match your goals. If they distract you from reaching your goals, say goodbye now. Cleaning up the area where you work and your computer (extra files, emails) helps you unclutter your mind and focus on what you’re doing. (If you have PLR collecting electronic dust on your drives, and who doesn’t, check out this article on how to turn old PLR into cash)Strategy.Next, decide on a plan. Most any strategy will work, you just need to WORK the strategy. This is essential, you have to have plan. Without it is like getting in your car and not knowing where you are going. And when you decide on a strategy, work it until it works the way you want or cut it off quickly if it doesn’t and move on to the next strategy. If you fail that’s great. The faster you fail the faster you’ll get to the successes.Focus! Stop checking your email every ten minutes and set aside a few hours a day (or more) of uninterrupted time and focus on the work that will help reach your goals.Automate or Outsource.If there is a script or programmer that can do something that will help you move forward faster, focus on the things that make you mo.ney or can do them better for less than your time is worth, do it. Why spend 8 hours working on graphics if you can either download a collection for a few bucks or pay someone to do it while you work on another project that will bring you more revenue?Passive Revenue.Focus on projects that create passive revenue streams. The more you can setup that automatically create cash, the more time you’ll have to create more passive revenue projects. And when you want to take time off, go away with the family, or do anything you want, just do it without worrying about needing to be at your computer 24/7. Honestly, this is one of the best feelings in the world… having money sent to you every month automatically. All you did was spend a little time setting it up.Enjoy. If you don’t like what you’re doing chances are slim you’ll succeed at it. If you truly don’t like what you’re doing online now I recommend shifting gears to something you do. Of course there will be topics you may not have any passion for, but you can still enjoy them. When you enjoy it’s not work! You’ll work as little or as much as you want and it won’t matter. No complaints, just appreciation for being able to work doing what you enjoy and have fun!To help you implement these strategies I recommend a guide Dennis Becker wrote. He went from being frustrated to reaching his goals (and experiencing days of earning $1k a day regularly) and he shares what he did to get there.Dennis is not a guru, he’s just like you and me and a no-nonsense, down to earth person that found what works online and wants to help others. His guide has helped hundreds (if not thousands) reach their goals. It lays out a strategy that’s both reasonable as well as unlimited in the goals you want to reach. You need a sound strategy to make working online work for you before ANYTHING ELSE and this guide helps you work that out. Honestly it’s one of the best I’ve read and helpful to both the newcomer as well as advanced marketer. I picked up ideas as well as helped affirm existing strategies. It helped me organize my projects, triple the number on the list in just days and most importantly, how best to implement them. If you read anything about online marketing this would be one of the few I’d put at the top of my list. Check it out here.The bottom line of course is to help you reach your goals working your online business. That’s my goal.Best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year to you and yours!You can make today your best day ever.To your best success!Markhttp://www.RevenueTools.comhttp://www.FlyingBluePig.comhttp://www.CommandoCow.comTools to increase your online revenue!P.S. You don’t have to wait for the new year to make a change. You can do it anytime. Plan and take massive action. Right now! Why are you still reading this?!

Have you used the gold box strategy? A famous online retailer has used this for years. And based on it’s continued availability, has probably earned them millions in extra revenue every year. Are you using it?

Or the nickel or dime technique?

Or the speed sale?

Wes Blaylock reveals these strategies (and more) in his new report, Speed Sale Secrets.

The report is direct and to the point, and filled with strategies that you can implement immediately to increase your bottom line. Speed Sales are promotions that you set up for a limited time to a specific audience. They can be up and running in a day and completed in under 2 weeks generating thousands.

You don’t need your own products, be an expert, or have much time or money. Wes outlines exactly how to do each promotion so you can duplicate them quickly.

I especially appreciated the strategies that showed how you could give away 100% commissions and still make a killing with your promotions.

This report is written for both the newbie as well as seasoned marketer, with techniques suited for everyone.

The timing couldn’t be better. With many American’s worrying about the future and others in panic about their finances, you can now confidently run a business where you make money in any economy, anywhere in the world and without being reliant on market conditions, employers, time constraints or who’s running the country.

You also don’t have to worry about your business changing overnight or going out of date like many IM strategies and markets do regularly.

Here’s where it gets interesting.

Not only can you run this business yourself, but you can help others by offering it to them as well. You can have two businesses that are cushioned from economic ups and downs, that you can run in your spare time, work when you want and earn a CEO’s salary while spending more time with your family or doing more of what you enjoy (you decide!).

And although the market is exponentially expansive, to keep this as exclusive (and profitable) as possible for everyone, it’s only available to 22 of my friends and subscribers. I’m grateful that you’re visiting my community and wanted to make sure you have this opportunity first, before anyone else.

This is a business you can start in a few days and run for the next 5, 10 or 20 years. The principles are stable and don’t change often. You can run your business in the comfort and privacy of your own home, no one will know what you do for a living… unless you tell them. And when you do, you have a method to help them while earning a great living.

The opportunity to help others with a license to this business is exclusively available to you, you can’t pass it on to others. You’ll be the source with very little competition.

Two businesses in one… in two niches that are always making money in any market condition… and especially when the economy turns sour.

How much potential you ask? Read more to find out.

And you can also learn about the event that’s brewing, so rare that it’s only happened 4 times in the last 3 years, and how it can be worth a fortune to those that act on it.

See you on the other side!

Truly make this your best day ever.

Tools to increase your online revenue!

P.S. Will you be one of the 22? Check it out now.

First, you want to have personal control your income stream.

One of the best ways to having your own cash flow method is a business. A business allows you to generate income on your terms, on your timetable and allows you an unlimited earning opportunity. You don’t want to be limited by the ‘time for money’ constraints of a job.

Second, you’ll want a business that makes money regardless of the market conditions, financial markets, economy or who’s in the White House.

Third, you’ll want to have the ability to work freely on your own schedule, with few time constraints or commitments and for short periods of time.

And lastly, you’ll want a business that doesn’t change or go ‘out of date’ frequently, like the internet marketing field. IM strategies come and go, but a business that’s proven stable and will be around for years to come is much more reliable and a business that you can count on. Fast changing markets that requires continuous re-learning, regular updates and new strategies just won’t do for consistent, reliable income.

What businesses qualify that way?

Not many do, and why I’m very excited with what I’m about to share with you.

Businesses like this you can run anywhere, in any market and normally with only a few minutes of work daily (if you can call it work). This gives you the freedom to spend more time with your family, traveling or just doing more of what you enjoy. Is that something that makes sense for you?

Remember, nothing happens until something moves. It’s a natural law and it works every time.

You can put it into action shortly.

Talk soon.

Update: See the latest post on this topic

Are you taking part in this so called ‘crisis’?

You need not.

In fact the most successful business people I know and have studied look at situations like this in two ways. First, they look for opportunities in every market. Where there is an up there’s a down. Where there’s a down, there’s an up. There are ways to help others and profit in every market.

Second, they avoid the naysayers and mainstream media. That’s right, most turn off the radio and especially the television and work on their businesses (I personally haven’t watched or listened to the news in years… and lived to tell about it!). You see, most of the news on television is purely negative and does you no good, just brings you down emotionally and leaves you feeling helpless – I mean, what can you personally do anyway? That’s not the optimal state to make things happen, is it?

The best way to avoid financial stress is to have your own source of income where you can make money regardless of the market conditions. And a source of cash flow that you control, not have to rely on the economic condition of a company or government for your well being and future.

Over the next few days I’ll be sharing a way you can never worry about income or your finances again.

If you’re not on our update list, signup on the top of this page and you’ll be notified of future posts and updates.

” I’d love to buy a home but my husband is in the #^#&#* industry and business slowed down, we lost half our income, no longer can afford our home and are facing foreclosure. “

or…

” we just can’t get out from under our expenses and debt. Our expenses are going up every month with gas, food and everything… but we have fixed incomes from our jobs and can’t save a penny! “

Are you in this situation?

Not with your home, but are you on a fixed income from your job, and your expenses going up? I mean you get a fixed salary, but everything else now costs more?

Like many folks, you wonder where you’re going to make up the difference when costs go up, getting a raise is often out of the question and there’s not enough time in a day to get a part time job.

You see, one of the things I learned many years ago is that one of the best financial strategies is to have sufficient automated passive income so when costs go up, or income goes down, you never have to worry whether or not you have money for your basic living expenses.

The 2k in 30 tutorial shows you how to do just that. Easily.

I just checked my accounts for these sites and all are well ahead of last month in terms of traffic and revenue. In fact, our sites are doing very well during this so called ‘economic downturn’ with the media touting problems at every turn.

You aren’t buying into this are you? Because frankly, you don’t have to be a part of it. Really, you can choose to skip it entirely! (btw, one way to do just that is to turn off your tv and radio – makes an incredible impact on your state of mind and what you focus on… but more on that at another time)

Just go through the tutorial here.

Then setup your sites. 2 of the 3 methods let you setup niche sites in just a few minutes. Actually it’s less than that. The other day I setup another niche site and it took exactly 53 seconds.. and it’s already getting traffic. Another site I setup about 10 days ago already has 218 unique visitors, ready to buy, and has earned 24.79 in revenue. Brand new sites that took minutes to create and are creating income quickly. Just set them up, announce them and setup more.

Knowing this, how many would you create?

Very soon you’ll see the traffic and revenue growing. Your goal could be to have all your living expenses paid with your passive income sites. Imagine what that would be like… not having to worry about your mortgage, rent, food, car… all the expenses that you may currently be working a J.O.B. to make every month.

It’s a feeling like no other to have passive income month in and month out… and not having to put in 8-10 hour days, work overtime and sacrifice all that time for someone else. Some of the stories I hear want to make you cry knowing how hard they HAVE to work just to make it through the month.

That’s why I’m sharing this with you… and for pennies at that. You may have noticed another program recently written about making 1k in 30 days… and it was priced twice that of 2k in 30… with half the information I’m told. Hmmmm…

If you haven’t read the free 2k in 30 report, grab that first.

Then grab the tutorial.

BTW, you can add to your passive income by promoting the free report and tutorial and getting 100% of the price paid directly to your PayPal account. It’s converting at a very nice rate of 17.91% and a bonus to 2k in 30 tutorial owners. A win-win situation… you build your income and help others do the same.

More tools to help you increase profits, gain freedom and more coming soon.

Make this your best day ever! You CAN do it.

To your best success!

Tools to increase your online revenue!

Why should you? Well, I just checked my new eBay Partner account, and one method I cover in the report will net me $500 this month, for 11 minutes of work. That’s $2725 an hour. I’m not telling you to brag, just impress upon you how simple this really is.

All I did was submit a few of these sites to a handful of directories using www.DirectoryTrafficSurge.com to increase the number of backlinks and keep increasing organic search engine results. I literally have done no more than that every month since putting them online. And getting them setup took only a few hours, less than that after the first one.

And this is just one of the four methods I go over. I actually only mentioned three methods on the website, but updated the report at the last minute after getting good results from an additional method I’ve been testing.

I’m certainly grateful for this method and the income it produces. It can be a blessing to anyone working online. To generate additional cash, pay off bills, add an additional income stream to your current online projects or ‘buy’ time to work on your own products which can be the most profitable for you and turn your ‘part time’ business into your ultimate
freedom.

Even if you already have online revenue, who wouldn’t want additional income streams that are passive and only require a few minutes (or less) attention each month? In fact, why wouldn’t everyone want to setup a network of these sites. Isn’t one day of work worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars in passive revenue -every- month?

I know I do. I’m setting up sites now and will continue because they not only add additional monthly profits, they also help others find what they are looking for. Win win for everyone. What about you?

And speaking of product creation, we’re only a few days from the release of a new and unique, never before released tool that you can use to create your own product easily… without any technical expertise. Literally if you can point and click you can create a professional product. The barrier to getting your own product created has now been eliminated, allowing anyone to be able to get going quickly. Watch for more details soon.

You CAN do it!

Tools to increase your online revenue!

But when you’re starting out, without a ton of cash, working a job… you need something you can do in an hour or so a day to get you started. Something to get cash coming in and allow you to ‘buy’ time to work on other projects… like your own products (which are the most profitable).

Well, I tested lots of strategies and found a few that worked.

Starting with nothing… no lists, no product and spending only $1 on promotion, I used three strategies, working on average less than 1.5 hours a day.

What were my results?

After 30 days, my earnings were $2,017.60. That’s over $100 an hour for the time I invested. Not bad for starting with nothing.
