Lets Get Started

Thank you for visiting my site.

My intentions are to help people learn step-by-step, different methods used to start a business. Free methods, on a shoe-string/budget and with finances. I will make it as simple as possible so if you are already kind of hip to the basics, please be patient. I want a 12yr old to understand.

I believe a problem that exist when it comes to marketing online is 3 fold.

1. People just don't know where to start.

2. They don't know what to market/sell or what to get involved in.

3. Once that is figured out which method should be used.

I will answer the third now. Your strategy is a combination of your final business choice and your budget. The latter being more important.

I can't tell you how many times people contact me, just to be disappointed because they find out they will have to invest something.

Investing in your business is a way of life. There is a balance of time and money.

Lets say you have no money, I mean not a dime. There is a way to market online but you are going to trade not having any money with your time. Yes, lots and lots of time. Sorry folks. You will have to invest time into your business. The fantasy of turning on your computer day 1 and then checking your email and "BAM" there is $2,000 waiting for you in your paypal account is crazy and delusional.

True story: I started a new business in February - A networking business, That virtually started about 4 months prior to me getting involved. I approach each business opportunity with a method and a plan. Realistically I see business as a marathon race (not a get rich quick fantasy). Anyway this lady called me about the business. I explained the process and talked to her about my results and results from others in the business. She immediately gravitated to the highest income I mentioned (one guy was already making $50,000. He was the first guy in the company) So she says to me. "How fast will I make $50,000." I told her everyone is going at their own pace. This was not a get rich quick program. Moving forward she called me yesterday - I just talked to her 2 weeks ago, She is half in and half out if you know what I mean. As she told me she could not start because she bought lottery tickets instead. So she called to ask me if I was making $50,000 yet. I told her no, but I am making 4figures building my business. This lady to crazy.
I would tell anyone who is legit about wanting to work from home. Look at yourself in the mirror. Find out who you are and where do you want to go.

Are you unrealistic
Are you lazy
A procrastinator
Have excuses all day
A Gambler

I can go on, but the point is know who you are!
Type A - Person wants to work from home part-time to make a few hundred bucks a months
Type B - Person wants to work at home Full-Time maybe unemployed or looking for change.
Type C - Person has money but sees the benefit of making more.

I see myself as Type C - that is one reason I forge on making more money and helping people.

Til next time
- Live Long and Prosper

AMAZON IS LETTING US GO!

This is an actual letter from AMAZON.COM to all California associates Title:  Notice of Contract Termination Due to Potential New California Law Hello, For well over a decade, the Amazon Associates Program has worked with thousands of California residents. Unfortunately, a potential new law that may be signed by Governor Brown compels us to terminate this program for California-based participants. It specifically imposes the collection of taxes from consumers on sales by online retailers - including but not limited to those referred by California-based marketing affiliates like you - even if those retailers have no physical presence in the state. We oppose this bill because it is unconstitutional and counterproductive. It is supported by big-box retailers, most of which are based outside California, that seek to harm the affiliate advertising programs of their competitors. Similar legislation in other states has led to job and income losses, and little, if any, new tax revenue...

Internet Gurus

Hopefully you watched the 20min video in the previous blog.  Maybe someone even went to Amazon.com and checked into ordering the whole thing.  So I will just continue for the people who are ready to learn more. If you have a traditional business there is something for you here as well but the majority of the focus will be about online marketing and making money from the Internet. As you know the Internet has grown by leaps and bounds.   Perhaps you have been checking out different options on the Internet and the secret on how to succeed seems to elude you. I will lift the veil for you, but you will have to do your part - learning how to make money is more than me telling you to do step 1-5 and boom your rich.  You will have to participate in the activity.  Focus and take some time and interest in your own success. There are Internet Gurus out there who have ongoing training, videos and webinars that are a perfect fit for some.  There are also som...

Why Blog?

I think we all blog for different reasons.  Some blog to share information about their journey, whether its business or personal.  Others blog to get people to focus on their business and products.  I am listening to this webinar right now and the speaker is explaining that blogging should be about helping people first and foremost.  And by helping others solve their problems and needs is the most promising way to help yourself build your business.  Remember you do not have to be an expert, you just need the will and passion to continue and show that you are putting yourself out there.  It will require some effort on your part.  There are no free rides, unless you have a rich uncle and they died and they left you a lot of money.  Or the lottery.  We all play but only a small percentage of us will win.  Building a business requires some discipline and dedication.  I am guilty of waning, I go off and focus on other things, well ot...
