6 REASONS WHY YOU 'RE NOT MAKING ON LINE

By Daegan Smith

 

The opportunity to make money online is so vast, yet so many people stumble and fall on their face. There really is no reason for this to happen. Below is a short list of questions you need to ask yourself if you're not making any money online. If you answer no to any of these questions then you've most likely pinpointed why our not making any money.

1. Do you have a target audience?

Do you know who you're marketing too? I'm mean specifics. Do you know there problems? Do you know what frustrats them? Do you know why your product or service fulfills their needs? If you don't have a clear cut answer to this set of question then this should be a surely a red flag. Study your market.Know who they are.

2. Do you have a product or service?

So many people get into affiliate marketing online because they see the opportunity to make money. They don't know what they want to sell they just know that they want to make money. Do you know what you're selling? Do you have aprimary product that fulfills your target markets need? If not, stop and figure it out now.

3. Do you have a website?

It seems pretty stupid to ask this question, but some people overlook this glaringly simple detail. It's very simple. If you do business online you need a website. If you don't have a website now go get one!

4. Do you have traffic?

Do you have a stream of prospects viewing your product or service at your website? You can't make any money if no one ever sees what your offer. If you don't have traffic to your website do you know where to get it? You really don't need traffic 24-7 to make money online. All you really need is to know how and where to get quality targeted website traffic when you need it. If you don't how to get traffic to your website then again you'll have problems making money online.

5. Do you know how to market to your market?

This is where many fail. They think if they have a website and they have traffic then magically they should be making money. That's not the case at all. You have to now how to offer your product or service to your market in such a way that they take notice and see value in what you offer. Your unique selling position must be compelling to your prospects.

6. Do you follow up with your prospects?

Do you have way to follow up with your prospects? If you don't have a method of follow up then you're really missing the boat. Most of the money that you make in any business is made in the follow up. If you don't currently follow up with your prospects do it.

Conclusion:

If you can answer yes to the questions above then you're probably making money in your online business. If not, find out where you're weak and improve. When you can answer yes to all of the questions above then you will be making online I promise.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO BUY AND READ eBOOKS !

By Daegan Smith

 

Now, I know what you're probably thinking, "Reading and eBook is just like reading an ordinary book." I disagree. Here's way, If you're here reading this article then I'm pretty sure you've read your fair share of eBooks, and most likely most of those eBooks were on the topic of internet marketing, making money from home, home based business opportunities, and on and on right? The reason that eBooks are ready differently than your normal novel is because of the way they are sold.

Here's what I mean... When you go to Borders to and pick up your favorite mystery novel you you're not given a hard sell on the benefits of buying that mystery novel right before you make the decision to buy or not. At a book store, you buy a book because you decide you want it or YOU decide you need it for some particular task. No big promises are made as to the results that you will after you learn the books "hidden secrets", so you take the book at face value.

Now, things are totally different when you buy an eBook. So, let me go through the steps and the psychology that I used to go through when I bought an eBook. I think you might find some this pretty familiar... First I would happen across the sales page through some link, usually while searching for some sort of information that can help me earn money online. Then, I was hit with a powerful headline that says "Do XYZ after learning my SECRET and YOU to can make $1,000,000 TODAY!" I'd stop and say hmm... that sounds interesting let me read a little more about this secret to see if I can figure out what it is.

Next, I'd get sucked into the sales page which would take me on an emotional rollercoaster which left me a burning desire to know what this author's secret is and led me to believe that I couldn't live without this information. I would then ponder on the idea of making $1,000,000 today and ask myself "what if this information really will make me rich how much would it be worth?" At this point I'd consider paying for the secrets, but only if the price was right. So, I start looking for the sales price which is always hidden deep in the sales pagesomewhere where you can never find to decide whether or not I was going to buy it (Finding the price of an eBook is kind of like playing "Where's Waldo?" you know it's there somewhere but you just can figure out where. )

When I finally found it, if the price was right I buy it. Then in a sort of nervous anxious rage I would download my new treasure and rip through it until I foundd the "secret" hidden deep within. When I did find the secret I was usually a little let down because it was either something that I probably could have figured out myself or it seemed to hard or it would take to long.... Then I threw the book aside until the next secret came along that struck my fancy.
Maybe this isn't exactly how you approach eBooks, but it is how quite a few people do. I hope you see the flaw in this sort of information acquisition. Most people, in my estimation, buy eBooks to find out the hidden secret within and not to actually learn and apply what's in the book. The sales prose on the sale page does such a good job at selling the person that they need to know that secret that that ends up being the major reason they purchase the information, That is most people don't buy eBooks as an information resource they are simple buying the secret. They rip through the eBook and when they find whatever secret it was they were looking for it's almost as if they are satisfied with that alone.

Please never do this! You will find yourself wasting a lot of money and put yourself on an expensive and frustrating emotional rollercoaster.

So,

Here is the correct way to buy and read an eBook:

First:

Only buy an eBook if you are sure that it is something that will absolutely help with your task at hand. For example, if your in the process of creating an affiliate website don't buy a eBook that will teach you how to create an opt-in list until the task at hand is completed. Buying extra information products will only confuse you and stop your forward progression in whatever task it is that you are currently doing if they are off subject.

Second:

When you do find supplemental information to help you with your task at hand save the sales page and wait a week before you buy the book. If you come back in a week and the you still feel the information will be extremely helpful purchase the book. (Tis is much easier said than done!)

- Tip: If the eBooks is on some sort of basic information there is usually a forum somewhere where you can ask an expert first hand your specific question and get real time valuable information for FREE. Try this first. You may be pleasantly surprised with what you learn.

Third:

When you do buy the eBook take it slow. Print it out. Pick up a highlighter and relax in your favorite easy chair. Takenotes. Come up with your own and write down your broad takeaways. Then use the individual tips and strategies contained in th eBook one at a time. Track your results and trouble shoot.

That's it!

If you follow the three simples steps above you'll find yourself spending much less on eBooks and getting much more mileage out of those that you do buy. As a final word of advice, take eBooks at face value just like any other book and never buy an eBook just because you want to learn some secret and you'll be just fine.

MOTIVATION


ACHIEVING YOUR PERSONAL BEST :

MAKING THE LEAP FROM GOOD TO GREAT

By Bill Lampton , PH.d

 

Jim Collins opened his book Good to Great with the statement, "Good is the enemy of great." He explained that when we have good schools, good businesses and good government, we are prone to accept that level of quality as sufficient. Collins observed: "Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is so easy to settle for a good life."

What about you and your business? Have you become comfortable - possibly complacent - with what you have accomplished? Sales have been good, your employees seem to be happy and customers rarely complain. Next year, you project, will match or even surpass (slightly) this year.

Yet deep down, you may have a silent yearning to move from being merely good to becoming recognized as great in your profession. What might prompt you to make that leap forward and upward?

Recently, several highly accomplished professional people recalled what had motivated them to shift from "doing OK" to launching a quest for their personal best.

Bill Bell, a retired advertising sales person, said his grand awakening came when he reached his fiftieth birthday. The occasion prompted him to review his financial picture: "I woke up to the realization that I had accumulated very little money though I had been a better-than-average advertising space salesman for my employer, a publisher of trade magazines. Further, this company's retirement program was iffy at best."

So he "set up my own firm as a publisher's representative. One of my first clients was my former employer. Others came along fairly soon, and it was not long before I was able to start saving money for the future. The intense purpose of earning retirement money was the 24-7 motivating force that lead to attracting more clients, and hiring office staff and sales staff."

Today, Bill Bell enjoys his retreat-style mountain home in Otto, North Carolina-part of the reward for establishing his entrepreneurial firm.

Carol Moore, Executive Director of the Georgia Mountains Center in Gainesville, Georgia, credits her mentor who "provided me with honest, on target advice. While he would never give me the decision to the dilemma, he would discuss the pros and cons to both sides of the issue and allow me to make the decision. At times when I perceived my career as 'stalled' I would call Don and bemoan my fate. Don never allowed me to have a pity party. He would tell me 'If you're looking for a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your sleeve,' or 'You get what you expect -- raise your expectations.'"


Lab Products Inc. President Betty Fatzie echoed the value of a mentor: "My boss felt I had the initiative to move up the corporate ladder and gave me opportunities to do so. I always gave it that extra effort to prove I could do better than a mediocre job."
Does your company's environment provide the incentive to generate your personal best? That was the case with Steven Freund, a veteran Ritz-Carlton Hotel executive. Freund commented: "The culture of an organization has a powerful impact on a person's behavior. Companies that are highly competitive, where high levels of performance are held in high esteem, generally promote highly motivated behavior."Hospitality industry expert Dianne Henry of Baltimore wanted to excel because "My passion became my profession." Pursuing her love of cruising, she plunged into the travel industry at top speed. Recently she ranked "number four for September and number ten for the year 2005 in sales volume out of over four hundred agents."

Do any of these stimulating factors fit your case? If so, make the most of them. If not, consider these othe incentives that propel you toward your personal best: An excellent role model: This could be a parent, a friend or a nationally known individual.

Your reputation and legacy: Yes, you want to establish a record that your contemporaries and your successors will admire and emulate.

Internal rewards: You experience well-merited pride and serenity when you are sure you reached your highest potential in performing a task.

Family responsibilities: Your drive for success is not selfish, but is geared toward the well-being of those dearest to you.

A closing suggestion: List the people, circumstances and ideas that encourage you to set new goals, adopt more productive habits and steadily move from "good to great." Keep the list handy for daily review, as a reminder of why you work-and why you are determined to expand your expertise and emerge from the pack of the also-rans to become a winner.

HEALTH


A VIEW OF THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET PYRAMID

By Dave Saunders

The food pyramid we’re most familiar with is based on portion size and does not take into account the different qualities of food sources. It’s assumed that everyone knows that all processing done to food serves to make it more harmful. Unfortunately common knowledge and common practice often do not go hand in hand. As people do learn that whole food choices offer health benefits over the more typical processed food choices, they are seeking out suggestions for what foods to put together into a dietary plan.

The Mediterranean diet is increasing in popularity because it is not based on popularized fads but rather a model which comes from literally thousands of years of use. The Mediterranean diet is inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of the Mediterranean area, particularly Italy, Greece, and Spain. Understanding how the Mediterranean Diet differs from the typical American diet can help us to improve our eating habits and enjoy improved health through enjoyable dietary changes.

A Mediterranean diet pyramid would start with red meat at the top as the source of animal protein which is consumed the least in a Mediterranean diet. Under that we find eggs, poultry and fish and the common sources of animal protein.

Next, we find cheese, yogurt and other milk products. Extra virgin olive oil is the most common source of fat in the Mediterranean diet pyramid. Not only does it give the diet a distinctive, and full, flavor, olive oil is also an excellent source of antioxidants.

On the next level of the Mediterranean diet pyramid, we find fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and nuts. These are eaten in great variety and raw or lightly cooked. Pickled foods are eaten for flavorful variety in a Mediterranean diet, but not as a staple as is commonly with the highly processed intake of the typical American diet.


At the last level, we find bread, pasta, rice, couscous,
polenta and other whole grains and potatoes. Again, where this differs from the typical America diet is that these sources are whole grain and not filled with the levels of preservatives. The lower amount of processing also improves fiber density.

In any diet, the general proportions of intake are such that the calories are split between 20% protein, 30% fat
and 50% carbs. The Mediterranean diet pyramid isn’t much different in this mix, but rather in the quality and variety of foods eaten. The lesson to be learned from the Mediterranean diet is that fresh, whole foods provide a dietary benefit over the highly processed foods that make up the most of the typical American diet. Eliminating processed foods entirely is probably not necessary, but they should not be the majority of what we eat, but rather the occasional variance.
