LIES LIES AND MORE LIES THERE IS NO SILVER BULLET

As I talk to people who are getting started and even many who have been at this for a while, I can’t believe what they tell me about their experiences in attempting to make money on the internet.

Where do people get this information, no wonder the scammers are making out with these letters that get sent out stating I have a million dollars waiting for you from a long lost relative.

I agree the internet is the last level playing field one can make a living and have a presence the same as big corporation with the minimal investment.

The only investment I see with people is the investment of common sense to succeed.

Really are all the people I see scrambling to make a buck have they all lost there common sense!

Just the other night, someone told me in order to get paid by clickbank you must make 4 sales and it must be at least have 2 sales with a mastercard and 2 with a visa.

COME ON who is passing this BS around, I simply put it to that person that you mean if you made 1000 sales with a master card click bank won’t pay you till you have 2 visa card sales, honestly this was told to me.

I continually have conversations with people who dream they are going to make a product and get zillioins of people to do a Joint Venture and be a millionaire overnight.

First a word of advice you need to be able to sell your own product before asking anyone to do your selling for you, if your sales letter can’t get anyone to buy how do you expect anyone else to sell from a sales letter that does not convert. Again common sense out the door, actually if you believe this get out, get out now you will never be successful till you get it.

The other one I get a chuckle is

if I do this or that will Google ban me, I wonder how this fear got spread around

Actually I know its the black hat community that taught many in the day when Google was not so smart how to game Google, well today that is a different story, good luck black hatters Google is on to you.

Getting back to getting banned by Google if you are not doing anything wrong why worry.

A lesson to anyone reading, if you are going to invest anytime doing a real business go white hat, I learned a long time ago if I had invested in growing my business instead of trying to mess with Google my efforts today would be light years ahead.

The other thing, treat your business like a business.

This is a practice that is centuries old, the internet is not any different.

As James Brausch says only 2% are ever going to make it, the rest need to go back to there job you will never make it chasing a silver bullet. The formula to success is real easy, in fact to easy this is why almost everyone never gets it.

Internet Business & Home Biz & internet biz & Website Developement & business systems 22 Mar 2008 01:50 pm

DAH! What is missing is a system.

I haven’t been updating this blog lately because I am busy, busy developing software that people can actually use.

While I was doing research for my next new project, it finally dawned on me why my software has taken off through the roof.

People lack systems, and my software provides a system for them to successful.

Lets face it business has been around for 1,000’s of years and its basically a rinse and repeat process.

Its really a boring process, but rewarding.

As one of my mentors James Brausch has pointed out in his blog that hits the nail on the head
are-your-business-systems-creating-freedom-or-defending-slavery,
this blog is has now been moved for the latest information go to jamesbrausch.org.

If you can’t stand the truth or your feelings get hurt easily don’t waste your time, as James puts it only 2% will ever climb above mediocrity the rest are losers until they decide to take action. I may not agree all the time with James, but until I have earned the right to do otherwise, listen to the people who have been in the pits and come out winning.

Another person I admire is Armand Morin. In particular his latest video’s I learned alot about putting together a few simple systems for generating incremental income. Again a system.

What I am getting at is everywhere I go I see droves of people just lost in the desert, looking for the silver bullet. Well even thou that silver bullet is a quick fix, it disappears as quick as it came and then your back to where you started.

Put a system in place to generate incremental income day in and day out with multiple streams of income. All the great entrepreneurs do so why should you be any different. Again learn from the successful.

I have put in place a new website that is getting ready for launch that is going to put systems in place.

Come on by and signup, I send to my list exclusive notices of software not released to the public at great prices. I also offer consulting to kick start your biz so don’t miss out.

Internet Business & business & widget & blogrush 15 Sep 2007 11:34 am

Blog Syndication - Blogrush

Today I have added a new widget to the blog, Blogrush. Look on the right at the bottom you will see the widget being displayed

Blogrush is a blog viral syndication tool to generate traffic. The jury is out if traffice will be generated from this syndication tool. Its a fairly simple concept and very easy to install.

Its viral in the sense that you invite your blogging friends to join and your earn syndication credits or the right to have your blog listed in the widget multiple times each day. So the more people see your pages the more times your blog is showed. This includes all the peoples credits as well added to your credits.

Supposingly there is 50,000,000 blogs out there so its possible for your blog to be looked at by many people.

Website Developement & SEO & one way linking & on page factors & off page factors 14 Sep 2007 12:27 pm

New SEO Launch out there or is it

Lately I have been following a new launch for SEO.

I have to admit they are doing well in a very competitive market.

But one thing the general public is missing out is age of domains. Given some time and diligence in doing something each day towards the off page factors like getting backlinks and driving traffic thru Web 2.0 social sites anyone can get to the top 10.

If you investigate how old the golf site is I feel anyone can get similar results.

There is only 2 things any website has to do within reason is on page factors and off page factors. This is a daily thing that a true business must do. Setting up a website working hard on it and forgetting it does not work. What does work is showing Google your site is growing in many ways. I truly believe to become an authority site a website has to demonstrate it is an authority just by being persistent.

Lets face it, any business in order to be successful must do something to promote itself. Without some form of promotion you die, unless you happen to stumble upon something so unique just word of mouth gets you more customers than you can handle. This only happens occasionally, most of us have to work at it the old way, roll up our sleeves.

Here is a nugget that is overlooked so much is getting indexed. I see this all over the internet, I understand why this happens if you don’t know why.

I am going to let you in on a big secret for getting your website indexed, behave like a blog. Yes behave like a blog. If you insist on setting up a website instead of a blog, then behave like a blog. This will get you indexed in less than 24 hours in most instances.

Study what is different in a blog and a website and imitate sucess.

The Bait Has Been Laid In The Water

I just finished reading James Jackson report for How To Influence, Persuade & Captivate Your Way To An Online Business Fortune it was only $.05 how could I lose. I am just passing the link on no affiliation to this. Normally I don’t bother with these reports heard it all. What triggered me was his squeeze page that interested me to see what makes this marketer tick. I suspect the squeeze page I saw will be the rage to come.

Well be warned James makes it very clear you will never see marketing or watch TV, Video’s ever the same when you read what he has to say, this was no small report a 110 pages long no fluff new stuff.

Well what brings me to writing today was what this report changed me.

You all have seen this area51 video that has been plastered and slowly launced on the internet if your on anyones list.

Seeing this last video it finally dawned on me how the bait has been set into the water. We are put in awe of how great this golf site is doing and competing with the top golf companies in the world etc…. Wake up if I remember right this site was started in 2004. This is a mature site that has been nutured and has lots behind it.

This last video shows how its so important to get the right links and you need to make sure these are the best places to get them, well after having my mind awaken I could see right through what is being laid down for the unsuspecting. We are slowly being convinced they have the secret sauce so listen up, once we make this available we are going to offer this at some outrageous price and make it scarce.

I wonder if this setup is going to be another million dollar day, since all the big gurus are behind it. What a setup for the unsuspecting.

Look its about getting backlinks good backlinks no question about that.

I subscribe to what James Brausch says about building webpages

20% is your Domain name
40% is your on page factors
40% is your off page factors (one way linking) maybe more lately since this is the year of backlinks

But use your head a little here.

You need one way back links that are themed for your content.

That is not hard to do one way back links abound every where, but its hard work and time consuming. Its no secret.

But if you want to cut the work down and tap into one way backlinks for much, much less than what is available out there stay tuned.

You can even contact me and get into the early stages and be exposed to it early be first on the block to access what I offer.

Now my bait has been laid.

Is a Internet Business a Business

I received an email today from a very insightful individual who knows how think on his feet, John Vito Caviani.

John has nothing new or earth shattering to say other than business today still functions today like it has functioned for centuries.

Here is the reality about business and the internet ready.

The Internet is a Tool.

It’s a fantastic tool, but it’s not a business.

Here is the meat of what John has to say

Business is, and always has been, about a relationship of value between a customer and a supplier or vendor.

Real Marketing can be broken down into 3 parts:

1. a set of processes for creating value for customers.

2. a set of processes for communicating value to customers.

3. a set of processes for delivering value to customers.

Most people using the internet as a tool do not do all three.

Beyond that, there are only three ways to grow a business:

1. Increase the size of a transaction with your customer.

2. Increase the number of customers.

3. Increase the frequency of transactions with current
customers.

So, business is business. It has functioned the same way for
thousands of years and will continue to function the same way
well into the future. There is no such thing as an internet
business.”

Now what John is saying is nothing new, these words have been the mantra for many of the most successful businessman of time. So setting up your internet business consider these wise words that never go out of style. They worked in the past as they do today and will continue to do so in the future.

It’s never the tool that makes you succeed its the person using the tool that succeeds.

Consider the internet a tool.

What is the truth in SEO

I read an interesting piece the other day from Leslie Rohde about human behavior and how it carries out to the Web for SEO. It all starts out with “people reporting their own poorly documented experience which someone else then takes as gospel and repeats as fact. Naturally, these are just unfounded rumors, they are conflicting and overlapping, and in many cases don’t make any sense at all, but are fervently defended as truth by their proponents.”

There is so much unfounded SEO techniques out there that get repeated and repeated that don’t work. In many cases people just don’t know enough and have to cling to something out of desperation looking to make it on the internet.

Unfortuantely this stuff is self perpetuating and ultimately sinks many who want to make on the internet.

The good thing about this is that it creates opportunity for those who are willng to wade thru all the old wife’s tales and seek out the truth. This field is wide open.

I have create just one of those opportunities to help you uncover what works and does not work.

I have created a free SEO trial for on page factors for you if you dare find out about the truth. Check it out what do you have to lose.

I know it works because recently one of my clients in just a few short weeks is getting actual visits from highly competitive search terms from Google on a daily basis and growing each day. What I do today is a result of actual testing for what really works.

Search Engines & Website Developement 15 Jul 2007 07:41 am

Robots.txt file do it upfront

Just the other day I setup a new website for my client and was getting incredibly fast indexing in Google. All I had up was a page or two. As I was developing the site for the client several of the things that I uploaded after indexing was all the legal items such as privacy policies, terms of service and earnings disclaimers.

Not realizing how fast Google was crawling and indexing this new website my tracking started revealing all the legal pages within its index. The one thing I had forgotten to add to the website is making sure my robots.txt file was present. A very simple thing to do, but important.

The robots.txt file instructs almost all robots how you wish to crawl your website. This is in particular important if you wish not to reveal folders that are suppose to be hidden from the public such as any folder that your selling products etc. Another use if your using programs to automate your website and the programs put the bot in a loop that it cannot get out of and stops crawling the important pages you wish to have crawl because its stuck.

Intructions for making a robots.txt file are all over the web. Its a simple text file that is uploaded to your root directory on the hosting account of the website. Inside the file is looks something like this

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /private/

After placing this robots.txt file within days Google started to not show the files I did not want to show. So get this up in the initial stages before Google starts crawling your website.

Fail to Plan or Plan to Succeed

Just the other day I was talking to a client about starting a business and all the internet hype that is being peddled all over the internet of being rich overnight will selling shovels to unsuspecting people. This type of stuff is highly unlikely to happen.

Listen having a internet business is a business. People can pretty much see through hype or something to good to be true. So if your going to sell something sell them something of value, something you truly believe in, it will show.

If you wish to have a internet business and be successful you need to plan out your internet business otherwise your going to be just another number like the countless others who jumped into this as past tense. Remember this is going to take you some time and money. The internet is one of the best places to start a business with a low entry fee to get started.

You must have realistic expectations on what ever your selling. First you must do your Market Research. This usually starts off with doing keyword research, then looking at what others are doing. Try to look at things that have a broad appeal.

If you have lots of competition in your niche it means thats there is lots of money available to be made. Don’t be afraid of competition. Lets face it trying to selling into a small niche gives you only so much money to be made.

So start with realistic expectations and do your research.

When planning don’t get into analysis paralysis, you could get caught up into this without ever doing anything. Once you have done your research to know enough money exist to make it worth your time go full steam ahead.

Once you have things into place you can look into automating your selling system.

Just get started.

Website Developement

Along with finding out what niche or product to sell you need to develop a Web Site to promote what you’re selling.

First learn enough to understand having valid HTML code is important for getting the Search Engines to crawl your website without stopping. If the search engines have problems crawling the web pages it’s extremely hard to get any placement where people can see you.

I just recently consulted with someone who was complaining of not getting enough traffic or finding high rankings in any of the search engines. I quickly looked into the source code of his html and ran W3C html validator to see if the fundamental structure of his code was ok. What I found the html validator would not start crawling any of his web pages. He had been using webhosting templates that were not SEO friendly at all.

The very first line in his webpage was missing what DOCTYPE, this is a mandatory piece of information in making a webpage. This tells the browsers, like internet explorer how to display your webpages. The searchengines were still able to read the webpages but not being able to validate if anything else was broken is not possible with the html validator. If his webhosting templates did not have one of the most basic pieces of code I also assume more is wrong with the web pages.

I use http://validator.w3.org/ to validate my html code. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) that I use to make sure websites I develop will be crawled by all the searchengines and display properly among the browsers available. If you can’t get your message in front of people you’re wasting your time.

You don’t need be fluent in coding but being aware is important. Almost all template driven software has flaws. Even this site did not pass the validation 100% but what is broken was not enough to be a show stopper.

Find a Personal Coach or Mentor

Just about every top athlete has a coach or the very least a mentor. In fact, many of the best have several coaches. They’re there for one reason… to help

Without them its very hard to be the best you can possibly be. A coach/mentor will help you set your course. They’ll help keep you on track. They’ll take you from where you are today to where you want to be but beware.

Not everyone is qualified to do this. The internet today is loaded with so many snake oil salesman that guarantee instant sucess. Unfortunately it very hard to weed them out.

Myself my mentor is James Brausch, when he speaks I listen. I have followed what James has done for several years now since the big event he put on for $10,000 per seat to learn what he had to offer. I have even reverse engineered several high ranking websites he owns and put into practice what I found with success. So I know from personal experience what James says works.

I just about own every product James has produced, and confident with the quality of the tools he provides. You can learn alot from James, just be prepared to be told the truth about how only about 2% of the people in this world are successful and why. You can read about James Brausch at Jamesbrausch.com

The 3 tools I use the most are Nemeas, Glyphius and Ranking Factors which is no longer available and replaced with Rasof. With these 3 tools to start a Internet Biz I feel confident that I will have an edge for onpage factors for any website I create.

So choose wisely who you decide to listen for developing an Internet Biz.

business benefits 22 Apr 2007 12:34 pm

A Business gives you benefits

Having a business gives you the advantage of tax benefits not available to the general public. Everyone should have a business just to save on taxes if nothing else… make sure to check this out with someone who understands a home business to prepare and not be in trouble with the IRS. This will save you lots of headache’s and misconceptions what you can do and what is not allowed.

Another benefit is a business can earn you a residual income. By planning and not selling just one product, find a way to sell something you can sell every month. This will earn you money on a continual basis. This is how real wealth if made by generating a residual income for the rest of your life.

Lead Generation 15 Apr 2007 05:53 pm

Learn to Generate Leads

Without traffic there is no one to buy your product.

Lead generation is the biggest advantage in all businesses.

Keep reading this blog and I will share proven techniques of lead generation
without buying the lastet big thing.

You are going to see written everywhere in many different forms how to get
xxxxxx visitors to your website overnight etc…. hurry up deal only last …

Well many of them do work, but what is more important do these vistors convert into paying traffic. What you are going to find out is most of these forms of generating traffic don’t convert.

We all have heard the expression growing a business, well in the past few years all the ways that have been dreamed up for fooling the Search Engines have caught up to many including many getting their Adsense accounts canceled because Google decided you don’t meet their standards. Looking back I was involved in alot of this got a quick buck but today the sites that I have been growing over time have exceeded any of the earnings I made trying to do it the quick way.

Looking back, my time would of been better spent building my business.

So don’t get caught up with the latest craze, very few opportunities actually exist.
This is why I am finally doing something about it, so keep posted leave me a comment
if you spam this blog commenting will get shut off, so lets do the decent thing.
