4 BIG PICTURE Steps to Biz Online

As stormy as the internet ocean may seem, it is NOT constantly changing, at least not at a fundamental level.

Sure, there are always important new developments coming along, and things that were important a few years ago drifting off into irrelevance.

But beneath all that surface flux, solid ground of e-business remains unchanged. When you are starting out keep your eyes on the BIG picture.

1. Identify your unique place on the web. Find your niche and create your unique voice.
2. Build an audience. This is true whether you have a blog, a website or an e-mail list.
3. Keep your readers engaged. Give them GREAT content and VALUABLE information. 
4. THEN AND ONLY THEN - Monetize! Introduce them to the BEST products and services for your niche.

Once you understand the big picture of online business success the "how" details take care of themselves.

Hey there.

I know I havn't posted much in the last month or so.

I have been working on 2 (THAT'S RIGHT!!! I SAID TWO, web businesses.)

Many of you know that my aruba-sunsets.com site has been up since November 2008, although I can't say it made much profit the first few years.

Well, now that that is running on autopilot, I took some time to focus on a few new ventures.

One is a new Site Build It! Site, in an entirely new niche! The hardest part there is deciding what I want to write about and teach.

The second one is an e-mail marketing business in the Personal Development niche. Funny how I fell into this business...

I will be setting up a blog for both businesses and I will post a link as soon as it is up!

I took a course on the law of attraction and goal setting called Future of Wealth. The same guy who taught that course, was offering a internet e-mail marketing course called Inbox Blueprint. He also had some other business products he endorsed, like selling on Amazon, and creating a branded product, etc. But, I am just not ready to sell my own PHYSICAL products at this point.

Anyway. I just thought I would check in and let you know what I have been up to.

How Lazy Affiliates Make Money With Facebook

Well here's something you don't see every day. This video got my attention in the first 2 seconds! 

Remember Chris Carpenter? Well, he is FLYING 5,000 feet in the air, with NO AIRPLANE in this video. For reals! 

Chris is the guy who, about 10 years ago, turned the marketing world upside down with his Google Cash program. He PROVED that it was possible to make tons of money online with out a website or a product by putting affiliate links directly into ADWORDS ads.

Well, he’s back he's doing it again! This time with Facebook and Bing.

You've got to see this video - it’s got 7 wicked easy steps to create massive profit from Facebook. By the way, all his techniques are free (so this is not paid Facebook ads). Just like his Google Cash program, this one requires:

- No website

- No email list

- No product

- No Selling

 
Trust me, checkout the video - you’ll learn TONS!

Watch This Video: 7 Simple Facebook Steps! (He also uses his flying as a metaphor for online marketing.) But, that doesn't make it any less cool! I so want to try it... flying, 

AND 

his new Facebook Affiliate Marketing Program that capitalizes on recent changes at Facebook. I'm tellin' ya... watch the video. Its FREE (for now) to see how it works.

If you decide to purchase the complete program, there is a 60 day, money back guarantee, so you can't loose. Think of all those people who regretted not jumping on the Google Adsense bandwagon at the start, before everyone else flooded the market. Don't miss out on this opportunity!

How To Research a Web Biz Niche

Finally, after many weeks of emergencies, distractions and family injury, I am now focused on my new SiteSell Site Build It! Infopreneur web site.

What is an Infopreneur, you ask? Basically it is person who makes money selling information on the Internet by targeting the right audience. And by "selling information" I mean, publishing information that may appeal to a specific market. That topic will be discussed later.

Today, I am researching my site niche. When starting a new business, online or off, it is important that you do your research. You want to be as close to certain as you can be that your business will succeed.

In my post 5 Fundamental Keys to a Successful Web Business, I explain  that your new web business MUST...

• Excite you
• Have a topic that is in demand
• Be in demand, but NOT TOO BROAD
• Be in sync with the amount of time you are willing to devote to it
• Have GREAT ROI potential

The first bullet point is the only one that does not require research. You know your passions. The rest are what will make that passion into a successful online business.

So, how do you know if your passion is in demand, but not too broad? How do you know the ROI (Return on Investment) potential? How can you tell if 15 hours a week will be enough time to devote to your new business?

By using the Brainstorm It! tool developed by SiteSell to research and analyze your site concept, your key words and your possible monetization model, you can be confident that your business is off to a good start.

The new and improved Brainstorm It! online software tool is free, included in the all-in-one price of SBI! (Site Build It!)

The free web business tools dont' stop with just Brainstorm It! SBI! includes all the tools you will need, to build a web business. From hosting, domain name registration and site design tools (tools to design your website without any knowledge of HTML code.) To automatic search engine pinging and tracking and search engine ranking reports. To a tool to your own e-mail lists and auto-responders (Form Build It!). These are just a few things that are included.

One of my biggest mistakes when I first started out was using one of those FREE web page sites. That "free" website was definitely NOT FREE after adding e-mail service, pinging service (to get Google, Yahoo, MSN, and AOL to notice my site - Bing was not around yet.) And when I asked them about creating a request form so I could build an e-mail list...OH BOY!... To write the code I needed, they required a huge payment, AND I would never actually own the email list. (Meaning that they could use it to SELL THEIR PRODUCTS TO MY READERS!)

I only use SBI! and won't go back to anything less.

OK getting off my soapbox now.

I found my niche, and developed my personal "spin". I started researching my key words. Each key word will b e a page in my site, focused on that one word. I will be posting more about Key Words and how to find the best ones to use in the the next few posts.

6 Reasons For Working From Home

 I love finding articles and stories that inspire me and my web business. Today I came across this one, and it just happens to mention my favorite website building success tool... the SiteSell/Site Build It program.

This article lists 6 wonderful reasons for working from home. 

1. Be There For The Magic Moments In Your Family 
2. No Commute = Less Stress
3. Save On Commuting Costs And Lower Your Carbon Footprint
4. Enjoy More Freedom And Flexibility
5. Improve Your Health
6. Work Anywhere

Read the  article here:
http://ow.ly/v8i0M

These are all wonderful and noble reasons for starting your own web business and working from home. But,not all of them resonates with every single person. And these six reasons are not cut and dry either. And that's OK. Whatever your reason for wanting to work from home, its the right one.

I don't have young children who need me to be there to drive them to soccer and ballet. I do have two furry "kids", and it is a delightful feeling to know that when I need a break from the computer or the desk, I can grab a tennis ball and take the dog out in the yard. Or grab the laser pointer and play with the cat. Just these two activities during the day have significantly reduced my stress levels. 

When we lived just outside of Chicago, both my husband and I had an hour commute (give or take for weather and traffic accidents). That was actually the norm for "the big city", and we didn't even live or work "downtown". When you drive an extra 10 hours a week to work, for half your life, you don't realize how much time you have lost. Sure, a good CD or an audible book series can make it more enjoyable, but when I think of all the other MORE enjoyable things that I could be doing while listening to that CD, I want to cry.

My Reasons: NO COMMUTE and WORK ANYWHERE.

The two biggies for me were NO COMMUTE and WORK ANYWHERE. 

In 2002 I bought a brand new car. A sporty 6 cylinder Monte Carlo. It was my first OFF THE LOT NEW car with only 10 miles on it and 7 of them where my test drive. I love that car. Still do. But, by 2008 I had almost 100,000 miles on it. I used it every day, and although it didn't guzzle like the old mid 80's 8 cylinders I had in the past, it was not cheap to drive, especially when the price of gas surpassed $5 per gallon. That's when I did the math and realized that I was spending 1/5 of my paycheck and 10 hours of my life, JUST GETTING TO THE OFFICE EVERY WEEK! I knew at that point something had to change. (Huh, what a coincidence, I started www.Aruba-Sunsets.com in November, 2008!)

In 2008 like thousands of Americans we ran into some financial issues with the economy the way it was. We were struggling to make the mortgage payments, so we made some very difficult decisions, and we packed up and moved from the Chicago suburbs to the East Coast and stayed with family. The cost of living was high, Unemployment was higher. Last year we were given an unbelievable opportunity to move south. The economy was picking up, and the cost of living was well within our reach. My husband found a job doing what he loves to do... computers. And I work from home. Through all these moves in the last 6 years, my business came with me. I didn't have to pick up and start again in a new city. My business is on the internet! (ok, I also have some things on my laptop, and files on my USB memory stick, but its ALL PORTABLE!)

What are your reasons for working from home? I would love to hear from you.

5 Fundamental Keys to a Successful Web Business

There are 5 Things to remember, especially in the planning stages of building your web business.

Owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks

1. You must be passionate about the topic you choose. After all, you will be spending a lot of time telling others why you love this topic, so actually liking what you are writing about makes "work" become "fun".
2. Your topic MUST be in demand - In other words, a good number of people MUST also be interested in what you are talking (writing) about.
3. It must be in demand but NOT TOO BROAD. A topic that is too broad will have way too much competition for a start-up-business to get the rankings at the Search Engines. (It might be possible with millions of invested $ in marketing to purchase the top BROAD keywords, but really? Who has that kind of cash? Most of us are starting a Web Biz to make money, not to gamble millions.
4. You must be willing to put in the time it needs. This does not mean that you have to spend 24/7 at the computer. If you do your research correctly in the beginning, you can determine a topic that will be successful and is in sync with your allotted time to work on your business, whether that is 5 hours a week or 40.
5. Your site must have GREAT ROI potential. (Return on Investment for those new to this stuff.) There are many different ways to make money with a web business - from Google Adsense to selling your own products.

Five ways you could work from home

Are You The “Work From Home” Type? The Answer May Shock You!
Five ways you could work from home.

Most people have thought about, and even considered, (or at the very least, fantasized about) working from home and being your own boss. In this age of technology, computers, and cell phones, there are plenty of opportunities available to you if you have the determination, motivation and guts to do it.

I personally embrace two of these methods in my "Work at Home" business strategy. I am both a Freelancer (expert in graphic design services) and an Information Monetizer (writing excellent, sought after content for my website(s), blogs, and social media.)

Do you have what it takes? I think you do!

The Start of My Web Biz Success

I first made the below post on my Facebook Page (WebBizSuccess) back in October. If you have

The Perks of Working From Home!

been trying to follow along in FB, shortly after I made that announcement, life got crazy for a while and I had to make a few detours before continuing on with my new business plan. Some of you have asked if I would be posting the details of my progress on Facebook. Yes, I am, but, and I also realized the other day that some of my posts were either too long, or just didn't fit the Facebook format. So, I decided to start my very own blog of my new web biz success story! Follow my progress here: web-biz-success.blogspot.com, or via Facebook, or (eventually) through Google+ (I haven't figured out how to set that up yet. I never said I was an expert at all online tools - That's why I am so glad I found SBI. But that is a post for another time.) 
So, come and watch me build my next successful web business. I hope that what you learn from me, here, will give you all the confidence and encouragement to be your own boss and the Master of Your Own (Website) Domain. (OK, corny pun, I admit it.)

October 1, 2013

I decided it was about time to start my second successful business website. My first one is doing well, so I'm going to reinvest the profits into another. Of course, I am going to use Site Build it! (SBI) It is because of SBI that www.Aruba-Sunsets.com has been so successful, and I have to stick with what works.

It's been a while, so I pulled out the SBI! Action Guide and watched the first five videos to refresh my brain. The first five "days" are all about planning using the SBI tools to determine the best niche, and keywords. It's mostly about analyzing the resulting numbers and using your human judgement to plan exactly the right site for you.

Since I'm a left brain, creative type, this is the difficult part for me. But, I know that if I breath and don't let myself get overwhelmed, I will have the blueprint to my second successful site in my hands and ready to be built in just a few days.

Create a Facebook Cover Photo for Your Biz Page

Facebook, despite recent controversy about its business/page advertising practices, is still one of the most used social media networks. Almost every company, from Fortune 500 to sole proprietors, recognizes the good business sense to have a business Facebook Page. Its free to create it, and it gives your business a web presence in front of an audience of millions of Facebook users. So, your Business Facebook Page should look professional and represent you and your business brand.
Danielle Glick wrote a great blog post with step by step instructions on how to create a professional looking cover photo for your Facebook Timeline that looks great and gets the attention of your customers, clients, or other business professionals.

Well, whatever your reasoning, I just want to let you know that you CAN reach a real human being who will take the time to help you decide if a web business is right for you, and answer any questions you have about Site Build It (SBI) and how it can help you.
