Time Management for Your Online Business

And the secret to any truly successful Internet business is… tweaking and maintaining your website.

Think of your Internet business as a garden. It may look great when you plant it, but if you stop tending it and just walk away, it will turn into a weed jungle in no time.

The same is true for the website that represents your online business to the world. The time you put into maintaining and improving your website will keep it growing and making more money.

There’s always that nagging feeling that says, “Yes, I know this stuff has to get done, but I just don’t have…

On a Budget? 3 Ways to Build Your Business Website Yourself

Is fear preventing you from building your business website? Many people do freeze up at the thought of creating their own site — thinking you need to be a technical genius or the next Picasso. But in the online world, pretty and flashy websites are NOT necessarily the most effective.

Your site’s layout, web copy, and navigation structure has a much bigger impact on your sales. And in the early days of running your online business, you’ll want to retain full control over these elements so you can find the best combination.

So save yourself some time and money, and use one…

The Elephant in the Room

Marketing Around "The Elephant in the Room"

"Recession"

It’s the elephant in the room — the thing no one wants to really talk about, for fear of being forced to admit it’s real.

… But the fact is, the U.S. economy (and by extension, the global economy) is experiencing a downward spiral right now, and the ripple effects are being felt by everyone from Bill Gates to the smallest home business owner.

However, hiding your head in the sand isn’t going to change things!

You can’t just act like everything is "business as usual" and pretend it isn’t happening.

Many of your customers are going to…

Magic Beans?

"There ain’t no such thing as magic beans" 

In my most recent training video, I say there are three things you need to bring to the table, if you want to make a business that makes real money online.

These qualities are: ACTION, DEDICATION, AND PERSEVERANCE.

(If you haven’t yet watched my free 30-minute instructional video, ‘Reality 101′,

I’ve discovered that’s not something everyone wants to hear.

Some people don’t want to be told that making an online business will require some hard work on their part.

They want to hold on to their belief that there’s a "magic bean"…

5 Day Internet Business

Have you ever wished that someone could sit down with you, in person, and physically SHOW YOU how to start your own Internet business?

You know… Look over your shoulder.

Point at your computer screen.

And give clear directions?

100 Internet marketing newbies attended my 5-day clinics in 2007.

100 people walked out the door on Day 5 with their own LIVE, fully-automated Internet businesses.

(That’s what you call a 100% batting average!)

Wouldn’t it be EASY to get started if there was a "live" person you could talk to?

Someone who could…

==> Help you decide what to sell

==> Design and build the website for you…

==> Show you…

Time For A Site Tune-up

So, I took my car into the shop for its regular six-month tune-up the other day, and as I was sitting there, waiting for the mechanics to do their job, a thought suddenly struck me:

How many online business owners regularly check under the hood of their web site to make sure it’s running smoothly?

And even if you do perform frequent check-ups on your site, are you sure you’re giving it a really thorough once-over? Because just like you can’t tell whether a car is roadworthy by kicking its tires, you can’t tell if your business is operating at peak performance just…

I am not a guru…

… I am a human being.

All right, enough already! I cry "Uncle!"

My formula for eBook success

Nearly every time I speak at a seminar or event, I’m approached by someone who tells me, "I’ve got a great idea for an eBook that I want to write and sell online."

My response? "So what?"

Now, that may sound harsh, but my response is meant to help. As I see it, anyone who thinks they can dream up an idea that’s guaranteed to make money online is doing just that – dreaming!

Sure, there are a few dreamers out there who hit the jackpot with an inspired idea that catches the world’s attention and skyrockets to fame. But for every one…
