Freebies Fads Frenzy

The freebies, the fads, the frenzy... you know the game.

It's what you have to wade through every day in your email.
Problem is...has it led to the fortune you hoped for?

 

Unlikely. And here's why.

 

I've been around the block enough to have seen them all....

 

1. The freebies lead you to monthly recurring charges you never
wanted to begin with...

 

2. The fads are often some nonsense gimmick you can't even use...

 

3. And the frenzy is short-lived 'hype' over some techie

product that has little relevance to the business you want  

to build online.

 

Most of the time these items are just a small piece of

a very large puzzle.

And the shame of it is...that one piece of the puzzle

will never amount to anything for you.

 

There are times to look at the BIG picture and times to

look at the smaller details. But I can tell you that when

you want to really get 'going' online, you've got to see

the Big Picture. And a bunch of techie details and

unrelated pieces of Internet mumbo jumbo are just

not going to help you get closer to your pot of gold.

 

We've been around a long time now...in Internet years.

And we pride ourselves on sticking to the basics and

always listening to our customers.

 

You see, we grew our business from nothing. The

Internet was just a baby when we started. And the

cry from our clients has always been the same.

online & making money!!

 

So we take that trust you've placed in us seriously

and when we offer you advice, it's the real story.

And we lay it out in a way that you can follow.

 

You've got to follow success.
You've got to follow successful models.
You've got to follow successful people.

 

I've spent years working in the trenches... so you

don't have to.

 

And I can tell you that working side by side with

the Internet's most successful online 'system' builder,

Lisa Diane, brings YOU one step closer to your fortune.

 

Forget the freebies, the fads, the frenzy and hype.

When it comes to building a solid business, stick to

the basics. And learn from the pros.

 

Let us help you get going with your own success story.

 

I'll see you at the bank,

Social Media Business Plan for Small Business

Every day I can guarantee that you will be impacted in some way by social media, there will be experts telling you, you need a profile on social networks like Facebook, and that Twitter is the best thing since sliced bread was invented.

So you create a profile and you start to tell everyone and anyone who will listen about your latest product or service, but is that really the way to approach social media, doing the same thing you do every day on more traditional mediums?

Taking this approach to your social media strategy will do nothing more than waste your precious time, time that could be spent prospecting for new business opportunities and working with your clients face to face.

I know some younger business owners who think that social media and the Internet will replace face to face contact, the reality is it won't.

However the very same principles you use face to face, apply to social media, the only difference being the method of delivery.

I know of some major companies who have launched their social strategy with profiles on this site and that network, yet their sites are full of their staff members or franchises congratulating themselves on such forward progress. But where is the consumer?, where is the engagement factor?, where is the interaction with the people that count the most, your customers.

This should be the reason you create your social media strategy in the first place. To create the local expert, the trusted advisor role, create and engage your community and to provide information and advice for the long term.

One question to ask yourself is, why do people interact within social network sites in the first place? Is it to get your latest product or service? No, No, No, they are there to connect, to engage and interact with other like minded people, to share experiences, to share activities and create a sense of community and to stay in touch with family and friends.

You as a business person need to understand this motivation and work with it to really maximise the return on your investment of time in creating a social media strategy for you and your business.

So what is the best way to approach a social media strategy?

First you'll need to work out why you want to have a presence on social networks, is it because everyone else is doing it? Is it because your competitor down the road is doing it so you should as well right? Well wrong actually. Do it because it gives you another advertising medium to capture the attention of prospective customers, do it because it is a huge billboard of opportunity to take your message to the masses, do it for you and the exposure it can bring you and your brand, do it because you are an expert in your field and do it because people are looking for an expert to advise, coach and motivate them.

Start by doing a business and digital media strategy and look at ways in which you'll start to build an audience. Do you start a blog first? Do you jump on Facebook and MySpace or do you start using Twitter and on what network sites do you create a profile.

How do you declare your brand identity? Remember, you should be focused on how you and your team help other people, being the business to call when requiring a service or product and raising the profile of you and your business on the web.

The first step, is create accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and YouTube. Check in and see where you fit in to the community, upload or add all of your contacts into Facebook and start a routine of regularly adding "friends" to your page.

The goal is to get your personal contacts engaged and to start to follow and engaging with other local businesses. Also, build a schedule so that you can allocate time each week to this, otherwise you will find yourself becoming overwhelmed with trying to keep up with all the conversations that happen.

As you become more familiar with the sites you learn that Linkedin or Twitter may not be for you, that's fine, at least you are now more informed than you where when you started.

You are learning, next you can start to build your blog, your blog web site is your central hub with all roads leading to it, and everything you do should be designed to get people to your blog and interacting with you on your territory.

It's great to have a Facebook page but even better when you have both working for you; you are in a win win situation.

Remember, with your blog comes responsibility, you'll need to add content to it regularly and this takes time, so you should allocate at least 2+ hours a week.

Use the same strategy for all the social network sites you use. Allocate time each week in your plan to update your sites and remember it's about engaging your community not only about promoting your latest product.

Take From The Rich Give To The Poor

Hi Nichers,

One of the things you might think about when selecting a
niche, a product or a price point is, "How much does my
customer have to spend?" Never underestimate the fatness of
a wallet or depths of a purse. There are customers
dedicated to spending top dollar for luxury consumer goods.
There are businesses that need premium solutions to nagging
problems. In other words, there are rich buyers out there
that need to spend a lot of money. Make sure you don't
neglect them!

This can be a hard lesson to learn, especially for the
person who wants to try Internet Marketing as a way to make
a few extra dollars every month. It's just beyond the
imagination of a person who's always running out of money
before running out of month! If you're broke, don't assume
that your best customers will be, too. Try thinking in
terms of having plenty of money and wanting to use it to
get more leisure and luxury.

Perhaps the best place for a hard-working neophyte to start
making money online is to do all the really nasty, boring,
mind-numbing chores that a rich person doesn't want to do.
By offering products or services that automate chores or
allow you to directly serve someone's needs on a regular
basis, you can make a very good living. All you have to do
is list all the things you'd pay someone else to do, if
money was no problem. Then go see who's offering goods and
services like that online and figure out a way to do the
same, with your own Unique Selling Point.

Luxury goods are another way to really make a nice profit
on just a few sales. Designer sunglasses that sell for more
than a thousand dollars a pair are more attractive to sell
than more than 100 pairs of $10 sunglasses. You may think
that paying all that money just for sunglasses is crazy. So
what? Isn't it more important to think in terms of what
your customer wants?

Now think about all the businesses out there that need
goods or services. They're making a profit, they have a
budget to spend - and you could be their "go to" source for
whatever they may need. All you have to do is identify the
really expensive things they use, use up and have to
replace. How hard can that be?

This "rich market" is a fairly small percentage, compared
to all the buyers online. The thing is, they spend almost
three times the percentage of money that regular consumers
spend. This segment is growing faster and faster, and is
hungry for more. It's up to you to put yourself in front of
this avalanche of money and get your share!

The idea here is to fix your thinking. If you think you
have a money problem, you're wrong. You have a thinking
problem when it comes to money. You might not be able to
imagine the kind of income you could earn if you just
allow yourself to envision big spenders as your customers.
Try it, you'll like it!

Once you realize that nobody can see how broke you are,
because you're hidden behind a Web site, blog or
discussion forum identity, you'll start to loosen up and
treat these well-to-do people as if they are like everyone
else. You won't be afraid of them at all. You'll just give
them what they want and they'll send you lots and lots of
money! After all, you'll have made yourself valuable to
them. Isn't that worth thinking about, instead of how broke
you are?

Steps to Starting Your Own Online Business

The internet is wide open, full of entrepreneurial
opportunity. The internet is one of the few markets left on
earth that allow someone to get involved at a very low
cost, and effectively compete with anyone in the business.
You see, just because you are bigger online doesn't mean
that you will do more business per contact. You have just
as much of a shot at making money this year online as does
anyone else. What are you going to do with your shot?

Steps to starting your own online business:

1) Decide on a niche or theme. You want to decide on one
niche area or product to start with.

Consider this http://an.eca.sh/4u

2) You must get a web site. You are not really in business
online if you do not have a web site. If you join a get
rich quick, put 5 dollars in or 1000 dollars in today and
you will get out double next week, you are not in business
for yourself. You must have your very own web site.

3) You must drive traffic to your web site. A web site with
no traffic is like a convenience store in the desert, but
100 miles from the nearest road. You may have coldest pop
around, but if no one walks through your door, you will
flounder. Same thing online. You must have traffic.

4) You must find out the needs of your traffic, and then
meet those needs. You can either create a product yourself,
or sell someone else's product, but to genuinely operate in
profit online, you must meet the needs of the people who
visit your web site. Watch this http://eca.sh/video-free

5) You must learn to convert the people who visit your web
site into purchasers of your product.

Do these steps one at a time. There is no sense in trying
to do step 5 before you have gotten step 4 going. You will
just frustrate yourself.

 

You neet to know this JOB.
