1. Overhead – The Entrepreneur only compensates a few employees; the fix employees with fixed income. That means Less Cost and More Profit.
2. Distribution – Network Marketing has got to be the best business model with a good distribution model. The business makes use of regular people who wants to have added income. These are the people that distribute the company’s products (For no cost for the company). They compensate them by the amount of work they put into it. Fair.
3. Compensation – Everyone gets compensated (Well everyone that worked for it I mean)
To put it on simple terms. An Entrepreneur finds two people who want to have added income and asks those people to sell his products for him; in return they’ll have a rightful compensation for it. Also, if they can also find other people to also distribute his products, they also get added incentives for that.
So with problems arising from a typical business, network marketing has appeased.
You can use the FORM technique in inviting prospects in your network Marketing
F - Family – Know the situation of the persons family. Is the person able to provide enough for his/her family?
O-occupation – Ask the person about his/her current status in his or her occupation. Is the person happy with his/her job? Would that person, like to add more income into his/her account
R-recreation – Ask the person if she has time for “fun”. If the person has the time to have some luxury, some time with her family, or just some time for himself/herself.
M-message – The three factors above will be your information on how you can engage that person into business.
There is no doubt that blogs are the "it" thing today in the online world. Wherever you surf, blogs are sprouting everywhere like mushrooms, whether they're used for personal or business purposes. But for starters, what is a blog anyway? It is a diary where you can post your thoughts or feelings or whatnots, except that it is online and the public can read it. But enough of that. Gone were the days when they were used solely for personal reasons. On the business side, they can be a very useful tool to boost your business, and to keep your customers updated on the products and infos you have. But if you're still struggling to catch up on the latest thing these days and you think you're not much of a great writer either, let me give you some useful subjects you can write about to give your customers a lot of reasons to keep coming back to your site.
1. News. Okay, so maybe that's basic. After all, your company or business is the reason you put up a blog, right? Write about the products you sell. Give them a bit of the benefits your potential customers might get for buying them, with a link back to your main site to read the entire sales letter. You can also write about updates to your product. Post news about the industry you're in. If you're selling products that help people get better search engine rankings, write about search engine news. Or, if you or your service has been featured on TV, papers, or notable websites, write about it. Don't forget to post seminars or gatherings where you've been invited.
2. History of your business. Maybe this one has already been in your main website, but who cares? People forget it. They come and go and chances are, when they visit your site, they don't read it. Write about how you began, the reputation and achievements you've earned, and the accolades or awards you received, with a link back your site. That way you'll let them know why they should buy from you, and that you're a real person who's building a reputable business. Add some employee's profile if you have someone working for you, too. If you have nice traffic or site stats, that's also worth mentioning.
3. Customer's feedback. When a raving customer emails you about how your product has helped him, share it in your blog. You're giving your visitors a compelling reason to buy from you.
4. Site of the week / month. Mention a site that doesn't compete with you but complements to your won. Explain to them why you like it, and why it deserves your accolade.
5. Contests, surveys, trivia, questionnaires. If you're running a contest, post it in your blog to encourage visitors to join. Get their attention by including the prizes, a bit of the rules, with a link back to your site for more information regarding it. Or put a survey. That could give you information regarding the product you're selling, as to how you could develop it further.
6. Tip of the day. Write about a new tactic you developed or something you learned and perfected.
So there. Whatever your business is, no doubt there's always something you'll definitely want to write about. Give it a try. And it will reward you soon.
The Scrooge strategy has got to be the best online advertising/landing page I've ever seen.
Nope, Im not affiliate with the company. I am just really amused by it.
Why was I amused by it?
1. Great Design - Almost all Landing pages and Squeeze pages have something in common. A white background page and a Red Bold texts on headings, and Black texts.
Scrooge strategy is different. It has a green background. It innovated borders on his page.
2. No Asking for Email - Have you been in situations where you saw an ad that offers a free e book or report, BUT before you can have it, you need to sign up your name and email. How exhausting.
Not asking for email could be a direct to the point offer. Well for me I'll experiment later what works. I will work on a free ebook on my PUA lifestyle blog page.
3. Simple and no bullshits - The page fully details all that they can offer. An example would be its, no guarantee - If you are not satisfied, Just cut the subscription.
4. Join, not ORDER Yup There are no order forms. No paypal or a push cart logo.
Clicking Join now will lead you to another page where you can actually subscribe.
I think this helps in deviating the people who lands on that page on thinking that all that the company wants is to sell and make money.
I hope you learned something. Please do not try to imitate scrooge strategy. Make up your own strategy. A better one.
I know at first glance this sounds obvious, but it may be worth it for you to think about your prices. At least just for a moment. How did you decide on your current pricing? Did you conduct market research to understand what prospects would pay? Or did you compare yourself to your competitors and base your price on that? Or was it a crapshoot, and random shot in the dark? These are the ways most people do it, and they are all wrong. Because the price you set for your products and services is more important than you think. The following few paragraphs are a bit number heavy, but stay with me because this will be really valuable for you to understand. Let's say you sell a high margin product - information products and software are two good examples. Your price is $60, and your costs are $10 - that means your gross margin (selling price - your costs) is $50 each time you sell one unit. Let's say further that your overhead is $5,000 per month. If you sell 100 units you'll break even, right? Now you want to sell more, and decide you can take some business from a competitor by lowering your price - temporarily. You lower it to $40 - a 33% price cut, and not uncommon. Your costs remain $10 and your overhead is still $5,000, only now your gross margin is $30 - 60% of what it was before. And how many units do you need to break even now? 166! That's 66% more unit sales required to make up for the 33% price cut! But what if you're feeling very aggressive and you cut your price in half (also not unheard of) to $30. Now you have to sell 250 units - just to break even! That's 2-1/2 times as many as before. How easy do you think that's going to be? Let's use a different example - something that has real manufacturing costs. This time, your product sells for $100, and your cost of goods are $50 per unit, for a gross profit of $50. Same $5000 overhead, same number of units to break even. Now imagine you cut your price 20%, to $80, leaving you with $30 of gross margin. You need to sell 66% more units. Ouch! What if you cut the price to $70. This 30% price cut means you have to sell 2-1/2 times more units - just to stay even. Let's go further... Competition is really heating up and you think that matching them cut for cut is the way to go. The price for this amazing widget of yours is now a bargain basement $60. (Shucks, that's only 40% off your original price. Salespeople and business owners do this every day.) How many units do you need to break even? 500. Five hundred? That's five times your original number. Do you really think you can sell five times what you did before - at least without significantly raising your overhead and your variable cost of sale? How many times have you done just this in response to competitive pressures? How many times have you cut prices because you thought it would help you sell more? What we've just done is a simplified version of what's called margin analysis, and I hope it gives you a glimmer of what can happen when you mis-price. For the most part, your price cuts don't automatically enable you to sell 66% more than you did before, and generally - at least not in this universe - you don't sell 250% more, and never, ever do you sell 500% more with this kind of price cutting. But there is some good news - and it's very good. Let's look at what happens when you raise your prices. Remember your high-margin product. It sells for $60 and costs $10 to make. Through good product positioning and excellent marketing you raise the price to $70. That's only a 15% increase. Now you only have to sell 83 units to break even, and if you sell the same 100 units, your profits go from $0 to $1000. Nice increase... And that "hard" product - the one with $50 of costs? Raise the price tag 20% to $120, your margins increase to $70, and now your breakeven drops 71, and you make $2000 if you sell the same number of them. See how this works? You can do this same analysis in a bit more sophisticated way, considering your marketing costs, sales or affiliate commissions, travel expenses if you have them, and so on. You can see the actual pricing effect varies quite a bit depending on these details. If you have a high-leverage, pay-only-for-results affiliate model, a very high gross margin and almost no fixed overhead, you have a lot of price flexibility. You can cut the price 25% and only need to sell 15% more! That's not too bad at all. But only in that type of model. If you have a office, some staff, and a physical product - in other words, fixed overhead - lower prices can kill you - and you won't even see it coming. And higher prices? They can make you rich. By now you are starting to see the tragic effects of mis-pricing on the downside, and the marvelously enriching possibilities of raising your prices. This only works, of course, when you can also increase your value proposition...
Since its conception 12 days ago My PUA lifestyle blog has almost parred with My Real Lifestyle Design Blog in terms of page impression. Real Lifestyle Design has been up for around 2 months already.
I Guess Getting a girl is more read than having a business. LOL
My Lifeline Adventure blog dwells with everything that is interesting to me. I should say that, it is my Personal Blog.
Well for the bad part. The Blog of Triga Studios has the lowest traffic. I don't know. I don't have enough information to analyze.
So what do I need to do: 1. Improve my blogs lay out 2. Add more Ads unit. 3. Gain more traffic by indexing it to other sites and Wriiting about it on other sites.
That's It for now. I hope This would be a guide to those who wants to start blogging. Find your Niche!! That is what the world is looking for!
Purveyors of conventional wisdom would have you believe that the very first thing you ought to do when setting up a new business is to create a business plan. It doesn't matter whether you are selling odds and ends on eBay from your living room or something larger and more complex, Business plans are excellent and necessary. Far too few of us self-employed and freelance people use them. They force us to spell out our objectives. We have to assign numbers to our expectations and assign a time-line to our goals. They become our roadmap and keep us on track. But I suggest that you can't make a business plan that is worth anything until you've done your homework. And that means knowing what you want to do and how you want to do it. And determining that there is sufficient demand for your product to generate enough income to cover your costs and allow a profit. In other words, before the business plan comes research. If a body of knowledge already exists, it makes sense to tap into it and save yourself some work. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics and other such sources, for example, publish a great deal of demographic information. Some of it is very useful. But it is also likely that as a creative sole-proprietor, meaningful statistics don't exist about your specialty. Many micro-businesses target a very specialized niche. And many owned by creative types exist to sell a product or service that don't follow well-worn prototypes. It is particularly difficult for such people to find meaningful published data. If you fall into these categories, you'll have to generate your own information. Don't limit your research to purely business data. You are building a life as well as a business. Are the demands and conditions of your proposed business compatible with the life you want to create? For example, illustrators often work on short deadlines - meaning that sometimes they have to work far into the night to complete a project on deadline. Plus, some clients are demanding and some do not pay on a timely basis. After all of that, can you still "love it" enough? Or, maybe your business is such that sales fluctuate during the year. How will you make it through the lean months? Can you handle the uncertainty of a fluctuating income? So, how do you find information? First, if other people provide services similar to yours, talk to them. You will gain a lot of information quickly. Their answers to your questions will save you a lot of legwork and open your eyes to factors you may not have considered. Try to talk to at least five or six people so you can get a range of viewpoints. You can find them through trade associations, schools, word-of-mouth. If the locals are reluctant to share information - perhaps because they see you as direct competition - look for similar people in a different locale. Second, create the information you need. Mimic and simplify what large businesses do. Reduce their methods down to a level that is practical and affordable. For example, perhaps you want to survey potential clients and customers to get feedback. If you are a creating a micro-business on a shoe-string, it may not be affordable nor practical to commission a focus group. But you may be able to speak to potential targets informally or use direct mail to send a simple survey. Eventually you'll have to 'put your toe in the water.' Try it out in a small way - so you won't lose much if it doesn't work - and observe the results. Then experiment and modify as needed. Once it works to your liking you can plunge right in. This approach, known by the technical term "trial and error," can be applied to any facet of your business. After all, even the largest producers test market new products before rolling them out. Put some parameters around your efforts. Decide, in advance, how much time you want to allow and how much you want to budget. Then test, test, test. Use trial and error for every aspect of your business. Experiment with different ways of packaging your services, different rates and prices, different types of marketing, etc. You'll soon find that certain approaches work better than others. Eventually your experience and data will suggest viable strategies. And then you'll be ready to create your business plan
Last monday someone called me on my cellphone. I was busy printing a business plan but I got a chance to answer it. Well the call was interrupted due to lack of signal maybe, but then she called back and we had a conversation for about ten minutes.
She inquired about my all in one loading business. She was eager and interested.
As for my past experiences in this kind of business, I failed to invite them to the office. Now learning from it, I limit my say and suggest to them to visit the office for further clarifications.
She was okay with it but not on weekdays(my past invites also had similar situations, they have office work). She said to me that If ever she would go this saturday (this day) she would inform me. She also asked me if I would get her number. I did not, BECAUSE she said that she would text me.
I will learn from that mistake. No matter how eager someone is, that person may still forget the things ought to do.
An entrepreneur/leader must be there to remind them. After all it is for the benefit of everyone.
After searching for the contents of the internet on wether to tweet or not to tweet. I have decided to tweet.
Some information that helpes me decide are the informations that are found 1. HERE - Twitter Statistics 2. HERE - Twitter rankings of twitterers
I have also have putten up another blog You can see it HERE.
So now my problem would be. The driver of my twitter. Would it be for Lifestyle design?? Would it be for Triga Solutions?? Hmmm. I guess I would just make it a personal one.
Here is a list of more simple principles, where you can base an idea for your business.
1. People want to make more money. They may want to start their own business, get a higher paying job or invest in the stock market. This will make them feel successful.
2. People want to save money. They may want to invest for the future or save for a big purchase. This will make them feel more secure.
3. People want to save time. They may want to work less and spend time enjoying life's pleasures. This will make them feel more relaxed.
4. People want to look better. They may want to lose weight, tone their body, or improve their facial features. This will make them feel more attractive.
5. People want to learn something new. They may want to learn how to change their car oil or build a deck. This will make them feel more intelligent.
6. People want to live longer. They may want to get in shape, eat better or gain extra energy. This will make them feel healthier.
7. People want to be comfortable. They may want to relive aches and pains or want to sleep in a more comfortable bed. This will make them feel relieved.
8. People want to be loved. They may not want to be lonely anymore or want to start dating again. This will make them feel wanted.
9. People want to be popular. They may want to be a famous celebrity or be more popular in school. This will make them feel praised and admired.
10. People want to gain pleasure. They may want satisfy their appetite or sexual desires. This will make them feel more fulfilled.
1. Use the word "fast" in your ad. People want fast results, fast delivery, fast ordering, etc. Nowadays, we usually value our time more than our money.
2. Use the word "guaranteed" in your ad. People want to be assured they are not risking their hard earned money buying your product.
3. Use the word "limited" in your ad. People want to own or receive things that are exclusive or rare because they are considered to be more valuable.
4. Use the word "easy/simple" in your ad. People want easy ordering, easy instructions, easy to use, easy payments, etc.
5. Use the word "testimonial" in your ad. People want to see believable proof before they buy your product. It should be reputable and specific proof.
6. Use the word "discount/sale " in your ad. People want to find bargains. They could be rebates, one time sales, percentage offers, get one free offers, etc.
7. Use the word "free" in your ad. People want free incentives before they do business with you. They could be free books, accessories, services, etc.
8. Use the word "you/your" in your ad. People want to know that you are talking them. This'll make them feel important and attract them to read the whole ad.
9. Use the word "important" in your ad. People do not want to miss important information that could effect their life. People will stop and take notice.
10. Use the word "new" in your ad. People want new products or services that will improve their life like new information, tastes, technology, results, etc.
Hi, Im marco and I own a graphics and design firm. I would like to share a story about this kind of business so that we may all benefit from it.
by. John Pierce
Several years ago, I launched a small web design company in a rural area of California. Market conditions couldn't have been better, my skill level was above average, and I had a large pool of aquaintences to which I could market. Within 12 months I went broke. My business failed because I made some very fundamental mistakes, and made them consistently. I now work in the web hosting industry. I have had the opportunity to interact with numerous self-employed web designers and have found that the mistakes which I made are extremely common, and usually fatal. If you are hoping to make a go of your business over the long term, you may want to memorize my top 5 mistakes, and avoid them like the plague. If, on the other hand, you are determined to run your web design business into the ground, the following list may be used as an expeditious roadmap to failure. 1. Underprice your services This is the most common mistake web designers make. The temptation is to break into the business by producing a few cheap websites in order to build a portfolio. Don't do it! Remember that you will only be spending about 40% of your time designing sites. The other 60% will be spent hustling up the next client. If you think your time is worth $10.00 per hour, consider asking for $30.00. This will give you sufficient revenue to pay for all the non-paying time you spend marketing your business. 2. Fail to set and enforce boundaries Everyone loves a nice guy, and the temptation to be one is a trap which many of us fall into. It's crucial to remember, though, that you are in business for one primary reason - to make money. You will, doubtless, encounter clients who will pay you for a small website, then end up wasting all of your time with questions about how to remove spyware from their computer and requests to add "one small thing" to an already completed website. You can avoid this, somewhat, by establishing clear boundaries with the client from the very start. A contract is useful here. Make sure that your client knows exactly what can be expected of you, and what you expect of them. If your client asks for extras, and you're amenable to providing them, give them a quote. Never toss it in for free. The only thing you have to sell is your time and expertise. Don't give away either. Remember, you're in business. Try asking a service station owner for a little free gasoline. They would be shocked by your question. Likewise, you should be shocked when someone asks you to provide free service. 3. View your clients as temporary Many of us get into this business because we love creating something new. By the time we finish a website, we're tired of that site (and sometimes that client) and we're ready to start a new project, and put the old project well behind us. This attitude can cut deeply into your potential gross. Over time, your client will need numerous updates to his or her website. updates are sometimes bothersome, but can add a significant revenue stream to your business. More important, a satisfied client becomes one of the major links in your marketing network. 4. Ignore recurring revenue opportunities During the best of times, web designers live from project to project. While finishing one project, you will be lining up the next. Every business, however, has slow stretches. Unfortunately, your own creditors will still expect payment, even when your own revenue slows down. A wise web designer looks for ways to provide his business with some sources of recurring revenue. Even $400 a month which you can count on can get you through a dry spell. There are numerous ways to set up some recurring revenue. Take a look at maintenence contracts with your clients, reselling webhosting, etc. 5. Build pretty websites which do nothing Your best source of advertising is word of mouth. Nothing generates great word of mouth like a satisfied customer. You can build the flashiest, prettiest, most cutting edge websites on the net, but it's all for naught if your site doesn't perform. Every website has a purpose. That purpose might be to sell goods, leverage an advertising budget, disseminate information, assist in personnel management, or one of a million other possibilites. Your first job, as a web designer, is to ascertain what the web site is supposed to do. Once you find that "thing" - the thing it should do - make sure that the site you deliver does that particular thing like nobody's business! By doing so, you will ensure a client who will sing your praises at the Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce meetings, and to his or her friends and family. A client like this is golden, and will bring a steady stream of customers to your door.
Very few people ever got rich by working for someone else. Leaving aside pop musicians, sportsmen and similarly gifted people, the only way to acquire wealth by work is to build a business of your own. The type of business you decide upon will depend on: a) how much money you have available as start-up capital and working capital; b) your business idea; and c) your confidence level. There are three types of business: 1) the traditional one in which you are reliant solely on your own efforts; 2) a franchise where you follow a proven idea and receive considerable training and back-up from the franchise company; and 3) network marketing. Each business type has its pros and cons. • The traditional business requires considerable financial input, either from your own resources or part-funded by your bank. You may need to rent premises; buy equipment; hire staff; pay for advertising, brochures, stationery, and stock. A frighteningly high percentage of this type of business fails in the first year. To succeed you need: a good idea, considerable financial backing, good health, an understanding spouse, and stamina. If you do succeed you will own the business outright and benefit from all the profits.
• Franchises have a high success rate. Banks like them because each franchise operation has a proven track record and thus the banks can accurately judge the risk, consequently they will lend money for this sort of start-up. However, all the support and training comes at a price: the initial entrance fee is likely to be very high, and a percentage of the business’s turnover has to be paid to the franchise company.
• Network marketing, also known as multi-level marketing, has many advantages and few disadvantages. The entrance fee is low and the ongoing expenses are even lower. A network marketing business can be started in your spare time – in fact that is the best way to approach it. Start small, and keep at it. The secret is perseverance, get past the first year and you should find the business has a sound foundation from which you can build a serious income. It is said that 95% of those who survive ten years in network marketing become wealthy beyond their wildest expectations. So which type of business is for you? If you wish to provide a service or product where you have previous experience from, say, a former employment, the traditional business will be probably be the best choice. However, if you are just tired of working for someone else and making them rich and wish to strike out on your own, then a franchise or network marketing must be the preferred option.
The choice then is determined chiefly by the funds you have access to, and the time and effort you wish to put into your enterprise. A franchise will require substantial funds and 100% commitment. You are jumping in at the deep end, although the franchise company will provide training and support to help you to swim. On the other hand you can ease yourself gently into network marketing by starting part-time while you continue with your current employment, building your business by ploughing back profits if necessary.
Persevere and there will come a time when the income from your own business will be sufficient to support you financially. You will then be able to leave your employment and concentrate on your business, spending more time on it or enjoying considerable free time with your family.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." But when you're starting your own business, there's no guarantee that your "mousetrap" is going to survive, especially in today's fast-paced business world. Nearly half of all small businesses fail within the first two years of operation. The number one reason for business failure is inadequate planning. The second reason is under-capitalization. So before you mortgage your house, or go into debt financing your business, you need to know if your business is going to do more than survive -- you want to know if it's good enough to thrive! Here are three things successful businesses that have stayed in business for five years or longer have in common: 1. The idea. A successful business start-up always starts with an idea. Something that makes your business stand out from all the rest. So how do you know if you've got a good idea? You've probably got a good idea if you can answer yes to any of the following questions: Does your idea provide the solution to a significant problem for your target market? Does it satisfy a need or want? Does it create an opportunity? The most successful businesses either fix problems (either real or perceived), or they increase your customer's pleasure. They create a repeat need for a product or service among the target market. 2. The market. Your chances of survival are better if you can answer the following questions with a yes: Is there already a market for your product or service? (It's much easier to fill a need than trying to create an entirely new market.) Can your target market afford to buy your products or services? (If they can't afford it, it doesn't matter how great it is, you won't sell any!) Will your target market perceive your product or service as valuable? (If they want it, but don't think it's worth what you're selling it for, you won't make any sales.) 3. Your ability. Do you have the people, the resources and the knowledge to be able to consistently provide your products or services to your target market? Can you maintain a competitive advantage? Do you have enough manpower? Can you purchase the supplies and materials you need over the long run? Your first step always is to create a solid business plan. Your business plan is more than an essay on "Why I deserve to get funding for my idea" however. Don't spend all the time creating a business plan and then toss it in the bottom drawer of your desk. Your business plan should be a living, breathing roadmap that helps you make sure you're on course and reaching the goals that you set for your business. The second step to business survival is getting enough financing. Although the term "bootstrap entrepreneur" describes most small business owners, having enough capital to be able to keep your business afloat is vital to your survival. When you're creating your financial analysis of your business, make sure you're being realistic about costs and expenditures, so that you give yourself the cushion you need to succeed. If finding financing is a problem, either because you don't have enough credit or equity, or there are other problems, take the time to look into the resources that are available in your community. There are a wide variety of grants and loans (including microloans) for entrepreneurs, if you know where to look. Some great resources will be: -The Small Business Administration -Local Small Business Development Centers -Women's Organizations -Local University or Community College -Chamber of Commerce -SCORE (The Association for Retired Executives) -Nonprofit organizations that work on economic development in your area Use other successful business models as a guide. When you're getting started, look around. What businesses are successful? Why? What is it they're doing that is working? What attributes do you admire, and why? You stand a better chance of succeeding if you're modeling someone who is already successful. Find a mentor. Most entrepreneurs have great skills and abilities, but no one does everything well. You probably already know what your strengths and weaknesses are. (If not, there are many resources and tools that can help you figure it out!) Rather than ignoring your weaknesses, find a mentor who can help you either build your skills in your weaker areas, or offer advice for getting what you need. If you take the time to plan to succeed, you could be creating a legacy that will be enjoyed by future generations, and that other entrepreneurs will look at as a model for building their own businesses.
“You should write a book.” For years, I had been hearing this comment. Writing an entire book seemed completely overwhelming, and so, for a long time, I contented myself with writing short articles. One day, inspiration for an article hit me and, as I started writing, paragraphs began flowing out at an enormous rate. Before I knew it, a rather lengthy piece was developing. It was too long to be an article, so, I decided it would not hurt to try self-publishing a little booklet. Was I ever surprised! The first printing of this 32-page black and white booklet sold out within a week.
All of us have an area which we have more knowledge and experience than the person next to us. What many do not realize is that there is often a hungry market out there ready and willing to pay for the information we have to offer. Yes, it takes a tremendous amount of effort to see a book to completion and printing, but it is well worth it.
Some things I have learned through the experience:
1. Start small. Don’t attempt to tackle a 400-page work for your first publication. You will also save yourself a bundle on printing if you keep it small. I recommend a booklet under 50-pages to launch your career as an author.
2. Enlist the help of others who are more experienced. If you know someone who has published anything, ask their advice and help. You will gain invaluable information from them and save yourself many headaches. In addition, request assistance from others for editing and proofreading. No matter how meticulous you are, it is always good to have other eyes review the final draft before it goes to the printer.
3. Be prepared to deal with disappointment. When you put your heart into something only to hear, "We're not interested," it is easy to take it personally. But, you must continually remind yourself that this is part of the package deal in self-publishing. For every "yes" you receive at least five "no's" (or so it seems). Learning to humbly and graciously accept rejection, not let it get you down, and keep pressing forward is an absolute must in self-publishing, especially at the beginning.
4. The more you market, the more you sell. You can publish an excellent book, but unless people know it is available, you cannot expect many buyers. The possibilities for marketing are endless. Check out all the books on marketing your local library offers. These will give you some great starter ideas. Send out an e-mail to friends, family, and business associates announcing your book’s publication date and offer a limited-time pre-publication special. Join self-publishing groups and let them know about your book. Ask others to promote your book. Be pro-active and do not be afraid to try novel ideas!
Pua lifestyle; witth 98 page impressions and 5 days online, still has not got any income.
Ive read from other blogs that they have not made decent income until theyre 12-17th month. Hmmm. If that was the case that means they had a loss during their first year. So how about mine?? Will I have a loss during this first year?? Its for me to answer. Anyway, considering that I have just started monetizing my blogs, and I don't pay myself for writing here. I guess that I really am at loss.
I will still continue with my blogs. I will still continue studying the whole system of earning income online. And now I will also start another blog.
The Multiply site has been dying since the rise of facebook had begun.
When I got into multiply, I was really overwhelmed by the number of different things that I can do with it. I'll have my own website, my own posts, or just anything thta I can do there.
Back then I still do not know that You can Earn Online! Now, with its decline, Im deciding that I will transfer blogging here at blogspot. I still don't know If I will still post there (maybe for traffics sake). Who knows.
Stay tuned for my other blog. I may upload it tomorrow evening.
