Do Your Homework

Feb 16, 2009 Idea Building, PayPerClick, Prosperity, Wealth Leave a comment

–This is an article directly from the people at Maverick Money Makers written for Professor Moolah –

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don’t just jump right in unprepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who’d have you believe it’s a “Walk in the Park” and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I’ll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, “what comes first the chicken or the egg”? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don’t think many of us do either.

But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

Passion in this sense simply means that you’ve researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.

I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I’m concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.

Now, I’m not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won’t attempt to do the work you are being taught.

Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won’t stumble.

You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!

Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don’t find it move on,

You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.

Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I’ll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet “guru” does that, don’t be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

Note: By the way it’s your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don’t first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.

Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.

Why Turn To Blogging as a Marketing Tool?

Dec 5, 2007 Prosperity, Success, Time Management, Writing Leave a comment

Professor Moolha knows that independent Professionals have to spend most of their time not with clients but in marketing.  Except for the few lucky ones, Professionals are constantly battling to develop new clients and build a bigger business.

Time is the important issue here.  Most people who want to become independent and become professionals do so because they don’t like something in their current organization.  The overwhelming dislike is the fact that they have to spend so much time for someone else.  It may be time in working, it may be in efficiency, it may be the fact that they don’t like to show up to work and be there during a normal work week (9-5 on the time card but we all know that it is more like 8-7 most days).

So how do we become independent workers and make enough money to make us happy?  Develop a blog and utilize the new social internet (Web 2.0).

What will your blog get you?

1. Reach More People – As you build your blog you will build readership.  Utilizing this readership you will be able to reach more people at one time.  It is like meeting someone face to face and telling them about your business in a story format.  By doing this with a blog you will be telling many people about your business at the same time, but it will feel as if you are talking to one person at a time.
2. Targeted – People look for very specific things when they go on the internet.  If you have what they want then they will find you.  You will in turn get a very focused and targeted group of people reading your blog.  Since you have good content they will want to come back time and time again to read your blog and see what you have to say.  This will only focus their attention more.  You will not be spending time trying to target and convince a group of people who really are not interested.  If they stay with your blog you know they will be interested.
3. Subtle – Everyone is bombarded with ads these days.  No one likes the hard sell.  We are simply a smarter Nation now.  By using your blog to market your business, and if applicable, sell products, the sell is very subtle.  Instead of saying “this is the best product you need to buy it or your life is ruined” you will be writing about he need for a product.  Oh by the way we just happen to have it.  Or maybe you have a satisfied client who will let you use their story (if you can get a picture it is very powerful).  Don’t sell your services or product here.  Let them sell it.  Let them say what is great about you.  It is the soft subtle sell.  A great success story.  Everyone wants to be successful.
4. Less Time – You will be spending less time.  A blog post will only take maybe an hour to map out, write, edit, and post.  As you do this more your time spent will be less and less.  You will not have to spend a whole bunch of time sitting down with a marketing consultant or an ad specialist to develop a strategy.  You simply get an idea and write about it.  That is it, that is all a blog is.  It is an ongoing conversation with you as the leader and your audience as the listeners.
5. Anytime – Blogs are great because you can post any time you want.  We recommend if you have a big chunk of time write a few posts, you can set WordPress to spread them out over time using their post date stamp function (more about that will be on the way).  You don’t just have to work from 9-5, but you can do it anytime.  Write a post just before bed, or when you wake up.  Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to be productive?  No one else is awake so what do you do?  Write a blog post.
6. Anywhere – I personally love to sit at the beach or in a coffee shop to write my posts.  It gets me out of the house, I get a good cup of java, or a milkshake and let my surroundings inspire me to write.  There are fewer distractions and I get done quicker.  Plus the fresh air is great.  I can even take my dog and we both get a benefit.
7. Free – Everyone likes free.  Blogs for the most part are free.  As we get into some more advanced topics we can see how we can begin to charge for a “premium blog” but for now lets just get started.  As long as the content is coming, and it is free, there will be people to read it.  Free is good.

There are probably many more reasons to have a blog, these are just the ones that I have come up with and that I find the most compelling.  It is a great way to spend your time marketing and developing your business.

Important Elements Of Time Management

Nov 15, 2007 Time Management Leave a comment

There is a lot to be done in your life and it is only through proper time management that you can hope to achieve your objectives since the available time is limited. Similarly even in your day-to-day chores it is essential that the important elements of time management are understood and orchestrated in the right direction so that you can find success in your ventures. Although it is true that no one knows what will happen the next moment, there is no reason why you should not endeavor to make the most of the present. It is necessary to give due importance to the various elements of time management.
Planning

The basic element of any task, big or small, is planning and nothing can succeed unless the task is properly planned at the very outset. This is also applicable to time management. Planning is the visualization of the different elements of a task and arrangement of these elements according to their importance. Detailed planning will also include the anticipation of the possible problems and obstacles that might come up along the way and the contingency arrangements to deal with these problems. In the case of time management, it is essential that the various elements of the job to be done are properly listed and arranged in order of their importance and priority. It is also important to estimate the amount of time that each element might need to be completed. You would also need to eliminate unnecessary wastage of time.

Handling Emails At Work

If most of your work involves emails, you must be aware that unnecessary emails keep cropping up and if you start attending to all of them, your time management plans will burst at their seams. Moreover, your mailbox will get crammed with these superfluous mails and you will find it difficult to keep track of the essential ones that concern your contracts, customer accounts and other important issues. It has, therefore, essential that you should not divulge your email details to irrelevant agencies that ask for such information. If you do need to deal with any such agency, you should have a different email account for this purpose so that your work email account is kept solely for official work. Moreover, database accounts should be kept up-to-date and old files should be maintained elsewhere. When your email accounts have only relevant files pertaining to your business, you will find that there will be less wastage of time leading to better time management.

Maintaining Notes

An essential element of time management is to develop the habit of taking notes and maintaining the same for future use. When you take notes at every step, whether in the planning stage or when you are attending a meeting or when you are simply pondering over the events of the day, you are building up essential tips and databases for planning your next line of action. This is a great way of saving time and utilizing every moment towards gainful work.

Time management is not only about keeping yourself busy in your work but also about finding time for relaxation with your family.

What is FTP?

Oct 19, 2007 Organization Leave a comment

FTP or File Transfer Protocol is used to transfer data from one computer to another over the Internet, or through a network.So simple enough, right? But why do we need it?When you own a website you have control over what goes into the website, and what the site looks like including any custom graphics or pictures. This involves uploading information over the internet.

Using Social Networking Sites

Oct 18, 2007 Prosperity, Success Leave a comment

Social networking sites can become great mediums for developing your online business. If you have an online business where you are trying to get customers through online advertisements and promotions, you can greatly improve your presence in homes world wide by developing a personal touch through social networking sites. You will find that people trust you more when you come in personal touch with them. You are more easily able to impress upon them the good points of your product which they readily accept.

Enlarge Your Business Network As Well
You also have a chance to meet some of your suppliers and dealers and this enables you to garner a more fruitful and long term business relationship with them. There are many ways to get closer to your clients by means of social networking sites. You can join online forums which discuss on subjects related to your product; this will directly introduce you to the people interested in your product. You can create your blogs which promote your product or service. You can then contact the visitors to your blog or the ones who respond and want more information on the product advertised through the blog.

The best part about creating business through social networking is that there is hardly any input as far as input costs are concerned. You can plan different strategies for different customers. You can sell your product or service at a much cheaper price than your competitors who have enormous inputs of labor and maintenance costs. It will become much easier for you to find a partner for your business through the social networking site. You can easily find like- minded persons who get interested to your idea and you can start a healthy partnership in business to cut costs and improve client base.

There are many things that you can do to create an online business with the help of social networking sites. You must try to get in touch with as many people as possible in networking dinners and forums. Try to learn which products find easy acceptance with most members. Try to exchange profiles and name cards with maximum members. Call members to find if anyone is interested in your product or service. Find products and services which still do not have an internet base or are new on the market scene. It is easier to secure such products as consignment and can be paid later when sold. Always try to keep the price low in the beginning till you have made a solid base of customers who vouch for your credibility. Moreover, it is easier to sell products at lower than market prices, especially if you can press home the utility of the product to members of social networking sites.

Ebook Nearly Available

Professor Moolah is proud to announce that in just a few short weeks the first release of Professor Moolah’s Guide to Marketing Your Business Through your Blog will be available.

Just 100 will be released for test marketing, suggestions, and comments. Be the first to download the book for free in electronic form.

To get on the list simply email Professor Moolah at professor@profmoolah.com. When the book is ready to ship, one will be sent to you.

The book is designed to help professionals who either do not yet have a blog that they are using regularly, or who do not have one at all.

Professor Moolah has produced this book with WordPress as the standard blogging tool. It is not that I believe that this is the best, and the only tool to use, I just had to chose one for reasons of simplicity.

Professor Moolah hopes that this book can be useful to the professional who has previously thought that getting on the Internet is a difficult task. It is not. With just a little guidance anyone who can write in word, can write a blog. Anyone with just a little knowledge of how the Internet works will be able to create their own blog with their own web address.

Yes Professor Moolah is a very technical person (or group of people to be accurate check the about me page for more information) and I know that there will be a lot of questions and things that are not clear. That is the reason for the limited release.

The books will not last long; they will only be available for free for a very short time.

Useful Time Management Strategies

Oct 4, 2007 Time Management Leave a comment

In your busy everyday schedule of work, you must have felt the need for adopting better time management strategies whenever you were not able to accomplish all that you wanted to do due to lack of time. The time management strategies that are listed below will enable you to organize yourself better so that your output is comprehensive and fruitful. Given below are a few important strategies that will enable you to manage your time more effectively.

Plan Your Activities

The first step towards any successful venture or even an ordinary day, is to make a proper plan at the outset. This is true for every sphere of life, be it a picnic or a mission in space. Nothing can succeed without proper planning. Time management also requires a strategy whereby you can make a plan that includes making a list of the various jobs that need to be done and to prioritize them according to their importance. You should also make sure that you have allocated enough time for relaxation and for spending with your family.

Break Your Jobs Into Smaller Elements

 An effective time management strategy necessitates breaking up your tasks into smaller steps so that you can manage them more easily and complete the steps on time. You will also feel more confident that you are well on your way to completing a successful day. When you are doing an important task, you should not get distracted by attending to telephone calls or emails unless you are anticipating some important messages. You can set apart a specific time for making telephone calls or attending to emails, if you feel that it is essential to do so. Unimportant communication should be tackled after you have achieved your immediate targets.

Determine When You Can Work With The Greatest Thrust

You should schedule the most important or difficult tasks according to the time when your mind is completely fresh. Your energy will be at its maximum level at such times and you will be able to tackle complex situations effectively and with ease. Moreover, an important time management strategy would be to use your downtime for the simple tasks.

Training Schedules

In order to achieve success in business, you need an efficient and dedicated team that will work in close cooperation with you as per your plans and directives. You can take advantage of training organizations and outsource this work of training your team to them. An important strategy of time management is to find a competent training organization and utilize your time to tackle other important issues.
 
Time management is of utmost importance in every aspect of life. “Time is money” is an oft-quoted saying which is very true, and using the above strategies will make you adept in time management.
