Internet Business Blog

Good day everyone,

As your reading this post first thing in the morning today I am currently having an 8 a.m. surgery for a minor hernia that developed over Labor Day.  It is an outpatient surgery so I should be back in the chair sitting up and taking nourishment by early next week. :) 

I was planning on making a full informational post this week, but then was scheduled for surgery so that went to the back burner.  All is not lost though,  I was able to put together another “Tip Of The Week”!  They’re so much fun and anxious to find out about anyways? Right?

Alright, here you go, tighten that strap one more time…

“A combination of multiple marketing efforts, programs, and instruments will result in more successful sales.”

Hi Everyone,

This week I took a break and didn’t make any informational posts early in the week as I normally do.  I have been working on some other business matters, spending time with my son Preston, and with my wife.

Next week I will resume my regular postings.  I am also thinking about what I should post about next.  If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment.

As you know it’s Friday and along with that comes the “Tip Of The Week.”  Heeeeeere’s the tip…

“Potential customer’s want to be educated rather than sold.  They are fed up with hype filled sales letters and want to learn…So, the more you can tell, the more you can sell.”

The last major post I wrote on Sept. 4 talked about why some people will never succeed with their Internet Business.

Most of the “instant gratification” responses and comments I receive are directly related to people that are stuck in their own comfort zone, and are looking for the easy way out or they are just to scared to try anything in fear of failure.  Do you know what my definition of fear is? False Examples Appearing Real.

I’m not scared.  In fact, I’m looking for different ways I can push myself out of my comfort zone.  Yes, I confess that I am guilty as the next guy.  I fall into a comfort zone too at times, but I’m quick to recognize it and look for ways to push my way out.

I look for ways to challenge myself, overcoming my fears, and gaining new skills and knowledge so I can grow as a person.  The more you are willing to push your way out of your comfort zone, the more successful you will become.

Conquer your fears, look at them square in the face and don’t back down.  If you start to feel uncomfortable, then good.  That’s one of the tell tale signs in overcoming them, and as long as you know what you need to do to overcome them, success is in your grasp.

Sure you might fail, but so what.  Pick yourself up and try it again, but learn from your mistakes.  Your not going to go bankrupt, loose your house, or be thrown out in the street.  Start small and work your way up into some bigger fears.  If you haven’t read “The 4-Hour Work Week” by Tim Ferriss, I suggest you do.  I commented about his book back in June or July.  At the end of some of the chapters, Tim adds a Comfort Challenge for the readers to actively participate in.  The reason for these comfort challenges are to push the reader out of their comfort zone and realize that your not going die if you face fear.

Sometimes it takes goals to overcome your fears or at least get yourself off of dead center.  Terry Dean, who runs an Internet Business Blog and is a fellow Christian that I admire and respect.  In his post “How To Set Goals” he talks about four primary tools towards reaching your goals.  I suggest you read his post and make it a part of your goal setting to help overcome some of your fears.

As I mentioned before, when I started with my Internet Business I didn’t know a thing about how to make money or blogging.  Sure I was a little afraid.  I felt like a lone minnow swimming around with a bunch of hungry fish.  Did I let that fear stop me?  No I did not.  I set goals, I made plans, I tried, I failed, and I succeeded.  I knew if others could do it, I could too.  I just needed to fail a lot more so I could learn right from wrong.

You don’t have to be an expert on everything to have a successful Internet Business.  In fact, if you’re just starting out you never will be able to succeed trying every different offer that’s thrown your way.  Master one or two Internet money making methods, and grow from there.  Don’t worry, I’ll be there every step of the way.

If there is one thing I want you to remember…

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had yourself a great week!  Here we are at Friday again.  It was a quick week for me with the extra few days of Holiday time I enjoyed.

I won’t delay, here’s your tip of the week…

“It’s a fact, customer’s will buy more when they are in a buying mood, which is right after they have made a purchase.”

I receive a lot of questions and/or comments on my email mentor program from people asking me something in the lines of…

“How can I easily make a lot of fast money online?”

-or-

“I really want to make money with my own Internet business, but I don’t want to spend a lot of time at it”

-or-

“nothing too complicated”

-or-

“I’m not sure if I can do it”

-or-

…well you get the idea.

I’m very sorry, but I’m going to have to rain hard on your parade.  There’s a four letter word that comes to mind when hear these people make these comments and questions… W-O-R-K.  It’s gonna take work, and a lot of it to get your Internet business successful enough to put it on auto pilot.

Our society is full of people with instant gratification mentality.  Instant coffee, instant meals, instant money out of a cash machine, instant downloads…instant, instant, instant!

Instant success?!  NO! Not unless you win the lotto or your great Grandpa dies and leaves you a good chunk of change!  It’s just not gonna happen unless you put in some W-O-R-K!

There are a lot of people that believe the world owes them success just for living.  I’m not only talking about the Internet world, but in the actual work force as well.

I’m 100% for helping people willing to learn and work hard, and I know that the majority of my email clients are willing from talking to them.  Those I call the 2%’ers.  The real Internet entrepreneurs.  It’s the other 98%’ers that need a swift kick.  Those 98%’ers that have no desire to work hard at their dream and learn the ropes should not waste any more time on developing information products or affiliate programs, and they should be simply focusing on wearing a rut in the road driving to their 9 to 5 job where they can collect a paycheck every week.

I can remember when I first started online with my Internet business, I didn’t know a dang thing about any of this.  I didn’t know what HTML was.  I didn’t know what a blog was. I didn’t know how to make money.  But, you know what?  I busted my little tail off learning, reading, surfing, practicing, and digging deeper every day, week, and month until I understood what the heck everyone was talking about.  Within a few months I was up and running, and never looked back.  I was becoming an Internet entrepreneur.  Sure, I hit roadblocks.  Sure, I failed many times at things.  I’m still not an expert in a lot of subjects, but you don’t have to be.  The Internet is wide and forgiving.

You know what else?  I did most of it with only a few hours a night or day to spare.  I had to spend time with my wife and child  in the evenings after my day job or my wife would dis-own me.  Actually, my family is very important to me and it is of great importance to me that I spend time with them.  Family time is precious to me.  Most nights I had only a few hours a night to work at my business.  Some nights I wasn’t able to work at all, and it killed me.  You see, I was focused and determined to learn.  I was not going to give in or give up.  I wanted success bad, and I was going to make it through my Internet business.

One of the greatest tips I can give you is to find an area or two (e.g. info products, or affiliate marketing) that you are comfortable with or interested in and stick with them.   Find a couple of reputable and trusting mentors, and follow their teaching.  There are a lot of programs and Internet guru’s filling your email every day.  You will never be successful jumping from one program to another, one idea to another idea, or one mentor to another mentor.  Narrow it down, focus on a couple of methods and mentors, and learn it until you’re successful making money at them.

I wanted to be a 2%’er.  Do you?
