Do You Believe?

By: Diane Walker

********************************************************************************************************

How's your business going? Are things going as you planned, faster or slower? Are you treating the business as a hobby or a real business?

We're at the end of the first quarter of another year. If you're like most people, back at the beginning of the year, you made some New Years resolutions. Maybe you made a list of things you wanted to accomplish this year.

Have you started working on that list and checking off your accomplishments?

If you're in business, you have a product or a service you're marketing. Do you TRULY believe in it? Is it a product you'd be using if you were NOT in business?

Do you believe in YOURSELF?

Think about that, it's a big one. Do you believe you can accomplish your goals and dreams building the company you chose to join? If not, WHY NOT?

Are you on the right track?

Reality check.

I was speaking with a wonderful person about 2-3 weeks ago. They had joined our team about 1-2 years ago, but really had not started doing anything other than "joining". They joined because they had a vision or dream but then really did NOT have the belief in themselves.

This person all of a sudden realized they COULD do it, and woke up. It's funny, many times people join something, then sit and do nothing. I used to wonder why, but now I think I know.

I believe that is because of lack of belief. They join because they KNOW they need to change what is not working for them, but after joining they get cold feet due to lack of belief in themselves.

Once you believe in yourself things begin change.

Who knows why people do what they do, but I do know one thing; they won't do anything till they believe in themselves and their ability. It also helps to believe in the product you have. IF you do NOT truly believe the product or service is a value and benefit to the masses, why in the world did you pick it to market? When you joined, did you not know or understand that you would be showing or sharing a product with others.

OUR WORLD TODAY

I spoke with a man today that is a very professional businessman, who has been highly paid for the past 10 years in his field. He owns his own company that used to be raking in big $$$$, but with today's economy people are not buying what they used to buy. He was considering joining my business as he knows times have changed and he needs to change along with them. I found his comment to me quite interesting. He said, "There are only TWO markets right now that are prospering. One is the legal and law profession, which are busy with foreclosures and bankruptcies. The second is network marketing as everyone is looking for a way to make more money.

How true is that? People need and want more income. If you have a legitimate product or service, and can show others how to make money, why would you not want to tell them? What's stopping you? Do you believe in your self? Do you believe in your product? IF not, why not?

Belief is the cornerstone of your future. If you truly believe you can achieve anything. Don't let anything or anyone stop you from becoming all that you can be.

Hope to see you at the top one day. I KNOW and believe fully in what I'm doing. I'm very thankful for our industry where I make a solid full time income. I don't know of any place in the world I'd rather be. How about you? Are you building your dreams? Do you believe you deserve success? Only you can answer that.

Think about it.

Diane

Starting a Profitable Business on the Internet

By: Shenmeng Bei

*************************************************************************************************************

There is so much marketing information, software, tips, tricks, widgets and seminars that it can seem confusing and overwhelming to someone wishing to start out a business online. There are emotions to deal with as well, from uncertainty, apathy & righteousness to joy, peace of mind, clarity and a burning motivation and desire to succeed.

Let's try to put together a step by step success blueprint. First, you need a business idea. This may be a something you have specialized knowledge about or it may be some kind of solution that you know is to a common problem, or simply you want to enter a niche and make money from something that was a hobby or pastime.

Market research does not have to be a huge task in internet marketing. Provided you can identify that there is a hungry market for your product you can create a business out of it. Step two is to build a website. There are plenty of templates that will do the job for you. You may first of all need to learn some basics of how to put up and edit a website or else hire a webmaster to implement your instructions. The important thing about your website is that is has quality content on it - value that your readers will get something out of, which will in turn make it more likely they will want to buy something from your website - you don't get something for nothing - and it works both ways.

Here's where you can implement some marketing strategies. Having a list-building component on your website - such as an auto-responder form which allows you to collect email addresses and names and to send out an ezine and announcements to your list. You can create a spin-off site such as a blog which cross promotes your site, your products and provides added value to your customers and prospects. Once you have a list of about 100 you can start a forum which will generate more content about your topic and encourage the formation of a community around what you are offering.

This is all by-the-by unless you have a product that people really want. You can start by having a page on your site that allows visitors to buy an ebook or an audio about your niche. Provided you are offering information that has a USP (unique selling point) - eg it is cheaper, more densely concentrated, more revealing or better in some other way from anything else your prospect has seen. You will then start to have what has been termed as a profit funnel. A visitor to your site is great. But it is better that they sign up to your ezine, so you can follow up with them and give them quality content so that when you hit them with a subtle or not so subtle sales pitch or special offer, they'll buy rather than unsubscribe. Better yet, you'll generate an instant customer who buys your ebook outright.

Primarily, generating visitors (traffic and prospects) and turning those visitors in to subscriber prospects and proven buyers is going to mean you are in business. These prospects and buyer prospects can also be sold on higher end products and services too. At the same time, with a little encouragement, your people will help you to drive more traffic by referrals, adding content to your site (via a forum or other user- generated content such as reviews, comments, a back- link from their site etc).

To get traffic in the initial stages, you can improve your search engine optimization, submit to directories, submit articles and to get indexed and get traffic, and use social bookmarking sites.
