    The Key to Making More Money Starting with What You Have ( Part 2 )

    In the first part of this article we talked about the “secret key” to making more money, in this part, we give you some tips that will help you to get started…

    Our biggest problem lies between our ears.  Your current level of thinking is what got you where you are… If you want to change your level of income, you must first change your level of thinking.  This is the greatest challenge that you will face, and it is a challenge that all of us, regardless of our level of income, face each and every day.

    I would suggest that you start by taking the time to meditate each an every morning.  There are tons of guided meditations available on youtube, and with the internet, almost everything that you need is available with the few clicks of a mouse.

    Take Inventory of Yourself….

    Start by taking inventory of what you currently have. Do you have a special skill set, or knowledge that you can share with others?  Do you have a trade that you can parlay into a small business?  I know that you may not believe that you have anything of value to offer, but God/the Universe provides each of us with a set of gifts, its up to you to express that gift in a way that it serves others.

    Brainstorm…

    Ask yourself, How can I earn an extra “X” dollars this month?  And then let your mind answer that question.  Don’t put any judgment on any of the answers that your mind produces, this is a time to let your mind’s creativity work without you putting any restraint or limitations on it.

    Get Your Ass to work – Chose one path and decide to make it happen.

    Once you have brainstormed and created a list of at least 20 things that you could do to serve others and create additional income.  Pick the most plausible idea, the one for which you have all of the resources necessary to get started on … And get Started… Don’t procrastinate.  When you procrastinate, you sow the seed of doubts in your mind, and if left to its own devices that seed will grow into fears which sometimes seem unsurmountable.

    Get New Friends…

    A person who has never earned more than $1000 can’t show you how to make $1000.  The person who has never made $10,000 a month can’t show you how to make $10,000.  I can’t teach you how to make $100,000 a month because I haven’t done that yet… ( it’s something that I’m working on, but I’m not there yet ) and that’s why I hang with people and follow the model and advice of others who have. If you want to change your level of income, you must find new friends to hang around… People who have serious goals and whose level of thinking,  discussion, and experience will help you raise your level of thinking.

    About 20 years ago, I took a new job in the Atlanta area and I roomed with a co-worker of mine as I searched for a home for my family.  My co-worker had this gorgeous home. It was probably valued at around $275000 ( which according to the standards of some, is just a moderate home ) but my first home cost me only about $30,000 and my second about $87,000.   I had never considered purchasing a home like my co-workers because it was above my level of thinking at the time.  It’s not that I couldn’t afford it… I had simply never seen, up close a house of that value.  And I recall as I lay in bed one night, thinking… “Why not?”   Ultimately, my wife and I built a new home in an that was not too far from my co-worker’s home.

    My point is that being exposed to environments and concepts that were at a “higher” level, my level of thinking changed.

    Now one other reason that you will need to get new friends is that your current friends if they are satisfied with where they are, will do what they can to keep you right where you are.  In the black community, we say that they are like “crabs in a bucket”… Each time one of the crabs gets a little closer to getting out of the bucket, another will pull them back down.  I won’t go into the reasons behind this, but as they say, “It is what it is”.  So be prepared to lose some friends on the way.

    So that’s it… To recap, the secret key to making more money is..

    1. Learn how to provide service to others.
    2. Create Value
    3. Help as many people as you can, get what they want.

     

    Peace and Blessings.

  • Selling Products Online From Home

    Once upon a time, setting up a business meant opening up a shop somewhere where you could be sure that customers would come to see you. You needed to order stock and keep the shop tidy, well-heated or ventilated, and you needed to always be there. All of this meant that starting to sell would be preceded by weeks, even months of extremely diligent work, and with no guarantee of success.? Anyone looking to set up a business would often decide that, on balance, the risk was too big. Now those problems are things of the past, and the potential businessperson can get things up and running very quickly.

    The thing about “bricks and mortar” businesses is that they relied a lot on location and the other factors mentioned above. By starting an online business, your sales floor can be a small study under your stairs and your customers can be anyone anywhere in the world.? Nowadays , there are multiple technical solutions available which allow you to process payments electronically from a customer’s credit card or online bank. But even if you are not in a position to do this, you can set up a PayPal account and do your selling on eBay.? There is barely any initial financial investment, it is possible to generate a positive cash flow in relatively no time at all

    So now you can do business in your pajamas at 1.30am.? Due to the advent of the internet there are various ways that a budding new entrepreneur can get started making money online.? 3 of My favorite ways of making money online are:

    1. Affiliate Marketing
    2. eCommerce
    3. Internet Network Marketing

    [cp_modal display=”inline” id=”cp_id_a6d80″][/cp_modal]

    Affiliate Marketing

    I like affiliate marketing because it allows you to sell the products that other people have developed.? This means that all that you have to do is drive targeted traffic to your affiliate offers and if you have done your research and marketing correctly, the sales will start to flow.? The nice thing about affiliate marketing is that you don’t have to spend any of your time in product creation so you can focus both your time and capital on driving targeted traffic.

    eCommerce

    Platforms like eBay and Amazon make it really easy for new entrepreneurs to start seeing cash flow pretty quickly.? The nice thing about

    Selling Products Online From Homepartnering with these two eCommerce giants is that you don’t have to drive traffic.? These sites already have millions of buyers who are?already looking for your products.? Now you can set up your own eCommerce shop, but if you are new to eCommerce, I really recommend that you partner with one if not both of these giants so that you can learn the basics.? If you want to learn more about running an eCommerce business, click here to download my free ebook which will explain the basics of running an ecommerce shop.

    Internet Network Marketing

    My Favorite online business is Internet Network Marketing.? If you have ever heard of Amway, or Herbalife, then you have heard of network marketing.? Network marketing has gotten a bad rep over the years because many have been sold the idea that it was going to make them rich over night.? Network Marketing is not a get rich quick scheme, it is a get rich slowly business that if you develop it correctly, it will definitely generate a substantial and residual income.? And this is why I like Network Marketing.? The work that you do today continues to pay over and over and over again.? It is one of the few online businesses, that allow you to generate a residual income.

    There are numerous network marketing companies out there, and they offer everything from Health and Wellness, to Fitness, to Travel products and services..

    The other thing that I like about Internet Network Marketing is that unlike traditional network marketing which primarily teaches you to chase your friends and family, internet network marketing you can promote your products and business opportunities to the millions of people that are out there looking for what you are offering on the ‘net.

    There are over 2 Billion people on Facebook alone, so this gives you an endless supply of potential customers and business partners? to speak with.

    Conclusion

    It’s my belief that everyone who has a 9-5 corporate job should also have a side hustle.? That way they can let their job finance their side hustle until their side hustle makes them so much money that it would be a waste of their time to show up to the 9-5.

  • Best Internet Marketing Strategies

    Best Internet Marketing Strategies

    Which is better, a traditional pet shop or an online pet shop? By comparing these two specific examples, you will be able to figure out why Internet marketing is very popular among entrepreneurs and aspiring Internet marketers. Take a look and see the big difference.

    When you choose a traditional pet shop as your business investment, there are certain things that you need to consider. You need to get business permits from the city or state government through its business licensing division. Since you are operating a pet shop, you need to secure necessary clearances from state health department that all of your pet products came from a reputable source. You also need to have a physical structure that will serve as your shop.

    You will either rent or construct the premises. For your shop to be popular to the people, you need to advertise it through local newspapers or place some large advertising signs in front of your pet shop. All of these things require hundreds to thousands of dollars before you can operate your traditional pet shop.

    Establishing an online pet shop requires you to have a website registered in your own domain name, which will cost you less compared to constructing or renting commercial spaces. Your website will now serve as the pet shop itself?you will provide catalogs containing brief descriptions of your pet products along with its corresponding price tags. Your customers can use the online shopping cart to place the pet items they want to purchase.

    All payments can be made through credit cards, thus no bulky dollar bills to be handled. You can advertise your site through several ways?you can either submit your site for online ad serving programs or you may promote it through writing and submitting articles to article directories. Moreover, you have also the opportunity of earning additional revenues aside from your pet shop through entering your site on affiliate marketing programs.

    By just merely looking on these two examples, you will say that Internet marketing has the edge over traditional running of a business. You will not only save time and effort in marketing your products over the Internet, but you can also earn additional incomes through existing Internet-based marketing programs.

    Internet marketing is a pure home-based business that does not require an office and several employees. You do not have to commute for several hours and face hordes of traffic and busy people. All you need to have is some spare room that will serve as your ?office? and a personal computer connected to the Internet. You will be able to earn thousands to potential millions of dollars by just working in front of your personal computer.

    However, before you will be able to earn millions and build an Internet marketing empire, you must also have the best Internet marketing strategies that will help you achieve your financial objectives. Without these strategies, the chance of earning more will certainly slip out of your hands little by little.

    There are many ?best Internet marketing strategies? that you can use, yet they are summarized in three simple yet effective strategies.

    1. You need to plan for your Internet marketing activities. There are certain questions to help you arrive on a concrete and effective Internet marketing plan. What do you want to do? What are you offering for sale? How you will market your products or services? Once you have figured out the answers to these questions, you will be able to create a plan for your internet based business.
    2. You need to take action. Do not just let the plans that you formulated remain as plans forever. You need to convert the words of your plan into actions so that you will see if the plans are working or not.
    3. Lastly, do not be deaf to the feedbacks and concerns expressed by your clients. Learn to respond immediately to their feedback so that you will determine if you are getting negative or positive results. In case that you are getting negative results, there is a need to change your approach.

    The secrets of success on Internet marketing lie beneath the best strategies that you employ. All other effective strategies will come in line as long as you stick to the basic yet the best strategies in your Internet marketing venture.
