How to Make More Money With Business Networking by Wayne Andrew Davies

Image via Wikipedia

Most people in business don't start out with the skills necessary to make a profit out of networking. These skills have to be learned, and then put into practise at networking events.

You won't make a sale at the meeting

Nobody makes a sale at a business networking meeting. It may happen every now and then, but for the most part people aren't going to buy your product or service on the basis of a short conversation.

Despite this, many people turn up at networking events and try to sell their product or service. This is counter-productive.

At best, you'll be lucky enough to meet somebody in the market for your product or service at that exact moment, and the person you're speaking to may refer themselves to you. This is highly unlikely, which is why attempting to sell your product or service at networking events is pointless.

Generate a reason to follow up

Highly successful business networkers know the real value in networking comes from the relationships you build. These develop over time, so your best bet is to find a reason to call this person back.

In most cases, that reason needs to be entirely positive on the part of the other person. That is, you're calling back with good news. I don't mean 'fake' good news such as 'our sale just started'. I mean something the other person genuinely wants to hear.

My view is the best way to follow up somebody is with a referral. That way, the person you're calling really will want to talk to you. What's more, they'll come to realise you're a person worth knowing (i.e. a source of referrals). That person now has a self-interest in strengthening the relationship.

To generate a referral, you need to know more about the other person and their business. That means you need to get that person talking. You need to understand what they do, and the sort of people they're looking to do business with.

Get the other person talking

Most people approach networking with the idea that they have to talk at as many people as possible, in the hope they'll find someone ready to buy.

It's far more effective to let the other person do the talking, but on your terms. The information you need to know is...

* What business they're in
* What's special about them/what they have to offer
* Who they want to do business with

You might simply ask, but in most countries that would come across as rude and is unlikely to leave the person with a positive view of you. It's far better to ask open questions that invite the other person to talk, and then focus your questions as more information is revealed.

Here is a set of excellent questions you can ask to get the conversation going...

1. Hello, I'm Wayne. What's you're name?
2. What business are you in (their name)?
3. How did you get started in (their business)?
4. That must throw up some challenges. What's the most challenging (or interesting or fun or profitable) situation you've encountered?

While the other person is talking, your job is to listen and look out for referral opportunities for that person. It's highly likely something they say will spark a memory, and present you with a referral opportunity.

If it does you can then say "You know, a client (or friend or relative or colleague or supplier) is always (or was just) saying they were looking for (or were having trouble with) that. Would you be interested in an introduction?"

Assuming the other person answers "yes", you must now arrange the introduction. This is something you'll do after the networking event, so you need to get the other person's contact details and arrange a time to call back.

In doing so, you've accomplished 3 important business networking goals...

1. The other person will remember you
2. You've started a business relationship
3. You have a legitimate reason to call back. And when you do, the other person will want to hear from you

Even if you subsequently discover your contact is no longer looking for the product or service in question (e.g. they may already have found a supplier since you talked), you'll still have to call back. And in doing so, you've opened the door for more networking activity.

What about your business?

This approach to business networking isn't about sharing what you do with the other person. It's about getting permission to follow up quickly.

The real activity in business networking occurs during follow up, rather than during a network event.

What you really need is more time to explain what you do, and permission to do so. And the way to get that is to arrange a one-to-one meeting.

The one-to-one meeting

Having followed up, you're now free to suggest a one-to-one meeting. You can do so by telling the other person that you're interested in finding out whether there is scope for the two of you to work together.

This may be as a supplier to their business, or alongside their business in a manner that allows you both to explore new business opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be available to you as individuals. Or it may be their business is ahead of yours in the supply chain, so they meet your clients before you do (e.g. a web designer usually meets a client before an SEO guy). If that's the case, they will probably be a great source of referrals for you.

In most cases, the other person will agree to meet simply because you've expended effort on their behalf and they'll feel a need to reciprocate.

During the follow up meeting, you will have an opportunity to explain what you do and how they can help. Even better, you'll have a lot more time free of any distractions.

How to Write Your First Ebook by Bryan Quinn

Writing your first ebook may seem like a daunting task. But like many projects, it won't seem so bad when it's broken down into manageable chunks. Not all projects are successful, so don't be too disappointed if your first ebook isn't a best seller. Whatever the outcome of your first ebook, you can at least say 'You did it'.

Like many things in life, what often seems impossible can be attained with the right attitude and the right equipment. It could be a marathon run, climbing a mountain or finding parking space at the supermarket.

If you want to play golf, you will need clubs, balls and some practice. There's no guarantee you will become another Tiger Woods but you will become a golfer.

If you want to write an ebook, you will need a computer, software and some directions. Assuming you have a computer and software or access to them, here are some directions.

Establish Your Reasons

Your reasons for wanting to write an ebook will have a major impact on your success. It may be for financial gain, promoting a business, advancing your career, education, self satisfaction or something entirely different. Whatever your reasons, write them down. It will help to motivate you if the going gets tough.

Choose Your Subject

There are countless subjects that you can write about. It's wise to choose something you have an interest in or knowledge of. It is worthwhile spending time on this. The more you know about your subject, the easier it will be to write about.

Choose Your Title

After you've chosen your subject, you'll need a title for the ebook. It's worth writing down a few different ones before deciding on the one you'll use. This will help to keep your focus and may give you some other ideas. The title should give a clear indication of the content in your book. A catchy title may help to sell it, but remember to balance this with clarity to keep it in context. I've written down two examples. Feel free to use them if you have a sense of humor.

A Clubbers Paradise - Golfing in Ibiza

20 Minutes Late - The Future of Trains

Choose Your Audience

The subject and style of your writing will determine your audience. Decide who your desired audience will be. Age, gender, culture, social background and education are factors you may want to consider. What you write should be targeted at your desired audience.

Write Your Thesis Statement

Although it's possible to write your ebook without a 'thesis statement', it is not recommended. If you are unfamiliar with this term, there are many sources available that will provide you with all the details you need. Unfortunately, there are some differences of opinion that may lead to confusion.

The 'thesis statement' deserves a separate article of its own but for now I have written a general definition of a thesis statement for ebooks. This may leave the door open for criticism but is a small price to pay if it removes some of the confusion. More importantly, it will give you a base on which to start. Only use it as a guideline. If you want a more specific definition, Google is a good place to start your search.

A thesis statement is a sentence or two written to clearly show the reason(s) for your ebook and what you expect to write about.

Although I have referred to this as a general definition, keep in mind that your actual statement should be as specific as possible.

Think of it as the foundation for your ebook. It should contain the following:

1) Your subject

2) Your opinion on the subject

3) A supporting reason for your opinion

4) The significance of 1), 2) and 3)

Create Your Document

Now that you have the foundation, you can begin writing.
A standard application like MS Word is a good choice.
While you are writing your document you can revise your thesis statement at any time up until it is published. This provides a good degree of flexibility.

Choose the format and layout of your document, including chapters, headings and introductions. Dependent on your subject, you may wish to add photographs, anecdotes or testimonials that keep the reader's attention.

Since an ebook is generally read from a screen, you may want to break up the text more than in a printed book. Experiment with a few different fonts and look at other ebooks for ideas you can use. Spell check and save your document regularly. MS Word has an auto recovery feature. This is useful if you don't save the document on a regular basis and later experience a system crash. Always backup your document. As a precaution you should also keep a copy on another media such as CD.

Choose Your Ebook Format

This is a personal choice. You may decide to create an executable (.exe) file or a Portable Document Format (.pdf) file. By no means an exhaustive list, here are some points to consider before you choose.

EXE files are compiled using an ebook compiler

EXE files may offer features that are not available with PDFs

EXE files can only be read on a PC

EXE files don't require any other software to be read

EXE files are easy to open, easily branded, and good viral marketing tools

EXE files may be susceptible to viruses although some compilers offer virus protection

More information on the better compilers can be found at

http://www.ebook-site.com/ebook-compilers.html

PDF files can be created using Adobe Acrobat

PDF files can be created with several other 3rd party applications

PDF files are an industry standard

PDF files can be read by both PC and MAC

PDF files require Adobe Reader to be read

PDF files are highly unlikely to become infected

More information on PDFs can be found on the Adobe website

Create your ebook in your chosen format.
Congratulations you are now an author.

Advertising - Feedback, Theory, and Application By Steve Ong by Steve Ong

Image by Getty Images via @daylife

This article is the most awaited that people are waiting for. Advertising strikes anywhere, there are many ways to be applied such as television, newspaper, and radio. Aside from tri-media it can be billboards that can be seen along the highways, internet ads which can be seen in the computer in order to be an instant transaction. The most important thing in advertising is how to promote the product?

Readers and viewers must know the background or feedback of advertising and why is it still exist till present? According to Norman Douglas, an English writer said that " You can tell the ideals of a nation by its advertisements." This saying still exist because it focus in a global society. They must take note that Advertising is a paid communication about goods, services, ideas or institutions through the mass media design to inform and/or influence one or more people in accordance with the intent of the advertiser and this meaning came from Isabelo T. Crisostomo's book title "Advertising:Background, Theory and Practice".

The next part will be theories applied in advertising. Readers and viewers must be serious about my article because it composed the contents of history, psychology, sociology, marketing, mass communication, and lastly in business field. Mass communication is an art because it deals with communication and there is a sign of development. According to Crisostomo, "Mass communication is the transmission of messages and information of messages and information to an undetermined number of people through any of the mass media." This field is known as the channels of communication. In business, once you have an establishment, it is called advertising agency. This is an advertising triad to the community because it has something to relate with the advertiser, the advertising agency and the medium. According to the review article profile of Concepcion and Yumol, "Advertising agency is an independent organization which is established and operated for the purpose of counselling on creating, producing, and educate consumers on the availability products or services." This meaning can help the level of professionalism in global society.

The last part of my article will be application because this will see the people how will show their credibility in an actual output. In my own opinion, to practice in advertising is a serious task. Only ten percent is the research output while the remaining ninety percent is the real job to be shown by the clients in order to be inspired as long as it shows creativity because that is the sign of an art work. The example for this is election campaign period. Once the candidate runs for designated position, they cannot win without an election materials and if in case they win the battle, it will create an economic waste. Readers and viewers must know that advertising cannot tell a lie because it tells the truth to the public. The people must know that what is the product or service they are catering?, what does the product means to the public? The position of the product will be based on the markers of which profile they monitor? what are the key benefits they can set it up? in markers, where does it based? The characters that product they will focus more on mechanics, language, not literally, reactions in order to know the clients reactions, different personalities, major differences, ethics whether ethical or unethical, communicate and understanding, what attracts to the customers, and the most important is top of their mind. What motivates people is in the field of Sociology, Psychology, History. People are not statistics because it will describe the person how accurate they are?

51 Surefire Ways To Make Money Online by Doug P

The money making tips are by no means in chronological order but are in a sparse format just like my brain so sorry for not categorizing this content but its not too bad for 100% free information. Disclaimer: Free information, no promises of increase of income by reading this info What you do with this information is your decision and even though i want everyone who read this to make massive money i cant guarantee any result of income.

1. Write an info product for a well established niche, this is one of the easiest ways that i use to constantly make money online :). If your info product has anything new or innovative then it should sell well. However, just don't write the ebook! Build a business. Gather visitors emails that comes to your site and offer them complimentary products through affiliate programs. Go ahead and offer upsells, and backends, and memberships for recurring income. If your just offering an ebook your leaving potential of thousands and thousands of dollars right on the dinner table, don't think of it as "YES! I made a sale," think of it as a real business and increasing the amount of profits you make per sale.

2. Start your own online country, thats right. What i mean by this is basically your own unique online community that is catered towards a group of people that allows them to share content and information with each other. Look at myspace, facebook, and youtube. Million and Billion dollar ideas in just a couple of years.

3. Build your virtual real estate. I'm not too much of a adsense site type of guy, im into building businesses instead, i prefer making social networking sites that will gather people's attention... and a good way to go about this is make it FREE, thats the magic word. Once you get people to register to your site you can then allow them to share it with their friends which will help make your site grow bigger. If your website is getting traffic then you can monetize off this with adsense or by selling advertising which can be a killer money maker by you literally doing nothing.

4. Help a friend get a job. Its funny while your out to start working for yourself, you are out to know help connect people you know with better jobs. Many people are looking for jobs, just take for instance craigslist one of the most populated websites in the world has a large section for connecting employers and job seekers. Also, monster.com is also a huge network for connecting employers with job seekers as well. If you can help connect someone then the rewards could be huge, as big as in the 1000 range, not really no chicken change. Some services that you can look into is [https://www.h3.com/welcome.html] and http://www.jobthread.com/

5. Advertise and sell other people's products from your website which is known as affiliate marketing which is such a hot field because people are looking for ways to make money online without having their own product, and this is one that you can accomplish this. Some affiliate networks to check are commission junction, amazon, and linkshare. The popular one for selling digital product is clickbank.

6. Sell yourself :). Now, don't get it the wrong way. There are some sites online known as freelance services in which web masters or companies will pay you money if you do certain tasks for them. If you can build websites, program, or do any other technical skills then join these sites.

7. Write. This is something that anyone can do and there are no technical skills required except being able to use the computer and research. Look for writing jobs on freelance services. It will help to have a portfolio of some of your writings in order to help increase your chances of getting chosen.

8. Do you take pictures? You can sell licenses to web masters or individuals to use the photos that you take and you can usually charge a good amount for these as well.

9. Assist businesses. Yes, businesses and web masters always need help and you can help them with everyday tasks by becoming their virtual assistant.

10. Know something about a subject and love to talk? Well, you will love blogging. Blog about the topic and write in a manner that attracts people. You can monetize your site with adsense, sell affiliate programs, sell advertising, you name it. http://www.blogger.com is a free blogging software.

11. Don't know a thing? No worries you are not alone, but that shouldn't stop you from blogging as it doesn't stop others, you can still make money just by blogging on topics that are interesting. You can blog about your everyday tasks, blog about your plans to lose weight, or blog about your plans to make money. Some marketers have started money making challenges such as the 30K challenge, or Willie Crawford's 1 million in 90 days challenge. These type of challenges can gather huge interests in people.

12. Fill a need. I own and frequent many forums and i have come to a conclusion that people love to complain. Thats great! Whatever they are complaining about provide them a solution, this equals more money in your wallet.

13. Make money by managing domain names. For example, domain name services like sedo and afternic gets paid just for regulating domain names. This can be nice steady income for having no products to sell yourself, or by not even selling other people's products... but just by being the middleman.

14. Buy and resell domain names for quick cash. I once purchased a domain name at the right time and then flipped it for $200. Domain name flipping takes some time to master like any other skill though.

15. Purchase a domain name, build up the pr (pagerank), gain backlinks, and then sell the domain name. If you can get a pr6 domain name then you should be able to sell this for a hundred or two on ebay.

16. If you can find a domain name that is keyword rich and is getting steady traffic then purchase it and park it and watch the money come in overtime.

17. Build a house and flip it. By this i mean purchase a domain name and build a website for it and then try and sell it for profit. A popular site to sell websites is sitepoint:http://www.sitepoint.com/

18. Get paid to post in forums. I would only recommend this if you're looking for quick side cash because this is by no means a way to make a killing online. Some web masters will pay individuals to make posts at forums. Sometimes, an individual has a new forum up and running and want to get it active so they will pay individuals to post there under multiple usernames. Or, web masters could pay individuals to post on forums so that they can get more traffic to their website through signatures. Or, a webmaster could be the owner of a forum and pay forum users for each post they make in order to help them stay, and in order to help build up traffic to the forum as well.

19. Go ahead and try to start your own article directory, but you better do something to make it unique and beneficial to the article submitter. Whats going to make an individual submit to your article directory as opposed to ones that they are accustom to submitting to and "plus" get results with. The good news is most of the other article directories are doing pretty much the same exact thing that everyone else is doing, you just have to be that much different and find your unique positioning.

20. Learn the ins and outs about a large network and teach people how to use it effectively, become an expert in that field. For example, look at ebay. Even though it may be simple to use to the average Internet browser, there are still tons of people offline that has no idea about the ins or outs about it. This can be an easy way to make some extra money. Some offline services charge people a whopping sum of money just to sell their products for them on ebay, so that is something for you to think about.

21. Think of a crazy innovative idea thats newsworthy. Ever heard of the milliondollarhomepage, http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com selling worthless links? Well, it got in the news and people swarmed to the site, proof that its not incredibly hard to make big money online.

22. Moderate forums, some forums get crazy traffic and some of them also get crazy amounts of spam that needs to be moderated...badly.

23. Make funny videos and then register for an account here http://www.thevideosense.com/ and post them.

24. If you are technical then offer support for software programs especially wordpress. People are always having issues with this software and there is money to be made by installing and customizing wordpress blogs.

25. If you like surfing the Internet then AGLOCO is a program that pays you for your browsing information (at the stake of your privacy though). You will need to download their tool bar into your desktop.

26. Sell tools and useful items to myspace users like templates, layouts, and backgrounds. Too many marketers try to spam this service which is against their tos, so just build real friends and sell them cheap items that they can use on myspace, easy money! Make money on myspace by selling users things that they can use while they are on myspace.

27. Write a newsletter and im talking about a real one. A list of subscribers is an incredible asset for your business because you can keep selling to those people over and over again but at least give some good content instead of only emailing when you have something to promote. You can promote your products as long as affiliates once you build trust with your subscribers.

28. Build your own forum. There are plenty of free scripts out there that will aid you in the process such as phpbb: http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/ or simplemachines: http://www.simplemachines.org/download/. This is an incredible way to monetize on giving something away for free. When people register they will enter their email and this is an unorthodox way to build a list. Not only that but you can build multiple streams of income by selling advertising as well as monetizing the forum with adsense. Heck, you can even offer products as discounts to forum members, sell your own products, offer co-registration, the options are limitless.

29. Learn seo (search engine optimization), it can be very profitable for you in the long run. Web masters tend to be too busy and that is one reason why many do not get where they want, they cant manage their time too well. So, you can offer to get web masters links to their sites by writing and submitting articles to directories and even optimizing their pages for them.

30. Start selling on ebay, ebay is a goldmine. See what is currently selling hot here http://pulse.ebay.com/ and see if you can find any whole sellers with these items an affordable rate. Make sure that you're dealing with a reputable seller because there are many scams in this industry so beware.

31. Create an award website. Awards have been tested to increase the credibility of a website (which equals more money) so make a website with a fancy logo and offer it to web masters that meet your award's standards.

32. Make money online by researching and finding statistics, facts, or quotes for individuals that needs them.

33. Write articles. Some networks will give you money for how many view certain articles that you write get. Here is one such network:http://www.associatedcontent.com/.

34. Learn the ins and outs of myspace, a lot of web masters are looking for people to do marketing for them on myspace and if you know about this network then you can make some money by offering your expertise.

35. Make money by referring individuals to paypal and ebay. Yes, these both have affiliate programs (doesn't pay much) but this could be an easy way to make money if you know people that are looking for ways to make money online.

36. Try using Co registration to generate some money online. What this means is that a company or service will pay you money when you can generate a lead for them. For example, you place a text banner on your site and once the individual clicks they will usually be sent to a form in which they can enter their personal information, and once they have done that you get paid for it. Its obvious that to get people to enter their "personal information" online you must have an incentive offer or copy, because people are fearful of spam (i am too). However, this shouldn't discourage you because this is very possible though. Some companies are so good at this that they get people to enter their credit card information in the forms so thats something to boost your confidence.

37. Are you skilled at photoshop? I see a lot of talented individuals on online forums that be photo shopping images like crazy. You can seriously turn this skill into a business by start offering photo shopping services to web masters or individuals that are looking for such work.

38. If you can photoshop then try selling your images on ebay because you never know, some people could very well purchase it. You never know if your images will become the next Internet phenomenon.

39. Are you knowledgeable in anything? Come on, i know you are smart in something everybody is good at least one thing... even me :). Well, what you could do is offer a inexpensive tutorial that teaches an individual how to learn the particular subject in an easy to follow manner.

40. Can you do screen printing for t shirts? Well, you are most likely an alternative to an online service http://www.cafepress.com. You can upload images of t shirts or what type of works you do at photo sharing services such as http://www.flickr.com.

41. Are you good at audio? You can get paid money to turn written text into audio or to turn audio into text (transcription).

42. Can you speak more then one language? Some companies or web masters may want text translated into more then one language.

43. Like software and scripts? Can you install these things? Webmasters who are not as technical may need your help, look around on freelance services to see who you can cater to.

44. This is to those who are always anxious to get money fast online. This is about the quickest way that i know to make money online. First, you join affiliate programs, and second you send traffic to your affiliate link through Google adwords. However, this takes some prior experience to master, such as being able to pick the appropriate keywords.

45. Can you code software? If so then you should code a software that will fix a much needed problem, there are many software coders selling their inventions online for good money.

46. Offer online tutoring. There are always people looking to learn something new and the Internet makes it not only easier for you to do so but also effective. Never before have there been such an easier way to communicate with individuals live from all the way across the globe. By having your own website on your own server, you will help make yourself stand out from the majority of your competition.

47. Like sports? Make a sports site of some sort and monetize it with one of the methods that i mentioned earlier. Golf is a very expensive sport which makes this a good niche to tap into.

48. Start a website that relies 100% on backends. This is an easy way to make money and to also get individuals to sign up to your website. Just look at ebay, and paypal. Both websites are FREE to join and sign up but there are many hidden fees. It costs every time you receive money through paypal, and it costs every time you sell something on ebay, it relies 100% on backend sells a nice and effective business structure.

49. Try network marketing. One of the fastest ways that an individual can grow their business is by leveraging the resources of others and a lot of beginning online business owners are always looking for other web masters to partner with. If you can help broker or bring webmasters together, then this may be a profitable business for you in the end. You could charge money for each connection that is made.

50. Online dating is a popular niche and there are many affiliate programs that pay you for each lead that you give them which can be some easy money if you know a lot of people. Or, if you have a unique idea you can go about forming your own dating site.

How Teenagers Can Make a Lot of Money Online, Steps to Start a Home Based Business by Carla Jewel Livingston

If you are a teenager, you really need to invest a lot of time starting an online business. These days, it would be a very good choice for teenagers to start their career in business by making money online. Teenagers are very fortunate to be a part of the age for internet marketers. There is mass of information for Internet marketing and resources are growing everyday. Teenagers can make so much more money than getting a part-time job, but the key is to remain on your part-time job until your online business grows your income into at least upper 5 figures, monthly. Teenagers have a lot of choices, but must plan how they are going to began their money making venture.

If anyone is wondering why there are so many young adults making a lot of money online, it is simply because as a teenager they spent their time, wisely, learning about starting a home based business or how to earn a lot of money through a cash flow system. It would be very good for teenagers to began learning how to make money online while they are young. They will be much better off than older generations who are learning late of how to become Internet marketers.

The smart thing for a teen to do, is just simply make their room an office. By setting your room as an office does not take a lot of money. All you need is a chair, table (if you do not have a desk) and your computer. That is all you need. When setting up your personal office within your room, you must make sure it is not cluttered and separate your possessions like clothes and necessities out of the way; for example, do not shuffle your private space with your office space. If you are serious about making some good money online, then you need to be very serious about organizing your room.

When teenagers go to school or to their part-time job, they should never tell their friends or even their teachers about their online business, simply because anyone can unknowingly discourage their vision. The only one who should be trusted to acknowledge a teenagers entrepreneurial venture is their parents, no one else. Sometimes, friends become jealous and teachers may unknowingly offend the students, if they are trying to prepare them for graduate high school and get a good job or attend college. Teenagers should involve their parents in whatever they choose to do. This can bond a closer relationship between entrepreneurial teens and their parents, simply because parents are believing in the future of the children. The main job of parenting a teen who wants to make money online is to support them one hundred percent and never discourage their vision, when doing so parents can also learn how to share knowledge of making some good money online. Parents can contribute time and take an offered position within their teen's home based business. Teenagers then become very secure and confident when become an entrepreneur. Teenagers will feel good while going to school and working on their part-time jobs, because they know they are doing something good not only to financially benefit themselves, but their parents. Students have an advantage to gain skills of managing their own company and marketing their own ideas, reselling a product, e-book or learning how to make money with an affiliate program.

When teenagers make a choice to start their own home based business, they must humbly ask their parents to allow them to take a percent of what they have earned on their jobs to invest in their venture. This maybe somewhat difficult depending on the relationship between the parent and child; however, it can be done and parents can learn how to realize what is going to financially assist the household. Parents instantly assist their teen's success when they comprehend what is needed when starting an online business. It never takes a lot of money, it just takes a whole lot of commitment and if a parent is not willing to negotiate financial resources to start an online business, then their teen may not only get bitter, but fail in their studies and start having trouble while struggling to work their part-time job. So, parents need to be willing to listen to their teenager and accept whatever measures need to be taken when they support their child's entrepreneurial vision. If there is no support, then teenagers loose confidence and will began to gain a pessimistic mindset, which is not good. Teenagers need to remain optimistic regarding their future and achieving their goals.

As mentioned earlier, a teen must first create their office space within their room. Make sure that particular area in your room is clear of any clutter and keep everything that is not a part of your business, neatly away from your office space.

Secondly, teenagers should make sure they control their leisure time and separate from their time learning how to grown their online business. Teenagers will not be able to enjoy making money with their online business, if they are distracted and allow their friends to steal time away what is important to them. One of the most difficult thing for teenagers who are make a decision to become entrepreneurs is to giving up hanging out with friends. When they realize hanging out with friends is not going to make them any money, then they will stop the bad habit of wasting time. Also, teenagers may have hobbies, spending time after school playing sports, going to movies, playing video games or even dating they will have to stop, but make a wise decision to be diligent when taking time to grow their online business. When they make a set time on a daily basis to grow their online business, then making money through their venture will be easy and will not be difficult to learn. Therefore, the only time outside of their online business should be spent with family, studying and doing home work, and/ or working their part-time job.

The third step is to simply set a certain amount of time searching for ideas to make a lot of money online. There are so many income or business opportunities online. All a teenager would have to do, is to just learn about starting an home based business. When searching for information, go to Google or Yahoo search engine and put in key phrases, like: 'what is a home based business'. Read all you can about what a home based business is and what are the necessary steps of starting one. Take your time and do not rush, because when it comes to making money online, learning how to do it is very important. Realize, free information regarding making money online is priceless and will always be available on their internet. Also, the key phrase: 'how to make money online' or 'making money online at a low cost' will also give teens good information.

When a teenagers decides on how they are going to make some money online, the fourth step they should take is to simply learn how to start a website. So, they simply do research through Google or Yahoo on that exact key phrase or any similar keywords. Starting a website is an easy task and very cheap. Before investing in a website, choose a domain name that is similar to what you decide to sell on your website. For example, if a teen is selling a book on 'How Teenagers Can Become Successful', they would choose a similar domain name like 'successfulteens' or 'teenagebusinessowners'. So, a teenage internet marketer would just take some time jotting down ideas for some good domain names and choose the best one. Fortunately, there are web hosting services that will include a free domain when purchasing a web hosting package. There are also web hosting services like Go Daddy that offer cheap domains when choosing a good deal on any web hosting packages. All teenage internet marketers must always remember, never spend too much money on a domain name or your web hosting service. There are some good deals out there and be cautious when investing in your business, because there are many web hosting companies who are just out there to make money instead of offering good packages for online business owners. A lot of times, it would be smart to just shop for a good web hosting service first, because that is where your domain will come with your package or as said before, your cost will be cheap. When you purchase a web hosting package, choose the first option, which is usually the Economy Plan, which usually provides enough usage space for your website.

One important thing to remember, if a teen choose a business that includes a website, then all they would have to think about is choosing a domain and directing it to their website, which saves money. One can still make a lot of money when choosing a lucrative flow system or a home based business that includes a website.

The fifth step is to sign up with a PayPal account. Parents should always assist their teens in the process, because of signing up with PayPal account, because it maybe necessary to get permission from a guardian and a bank account is needed when including PayPal as a payment option. A lot of teens do not have merchant account and need to learn how to choose a wealth opportunity that is going to easily assist them in receiving their profits. When customers pay for their services or products, the process of payments should be easy. When preparing your website to receive orders, you should also make sure their information is secure, which should be included in any web hosting service.

The sixth step is for parents to take their teens to any local bank and assist them to get a savings and checking account. This is not only good to learn about saving and investing money, but also this is very much need when it come to owning their own business. A business account is not necessarily needed when signing up with PayPal, only a savings and/or checking account is needed for the administration of PayPal. This is necessary for transferring funds.

The seventh step is for teenagers to do research on how to market their online business. There is so many marketing tools available, some are free, some cost very little money and some may cost a lot of money. Choose the ones that work very good and are free and are low cost and while doing so, you will attract a lot of customers or prospects to your website. When you choose the free option, you will place free classified ads, do video, article or forum marketing, create a blog or submit press releases. The free option of marketing your online business maybe time consuming, but you will definitely get a lot of traffic to your website. The only thing you pay for when create a blog is your domain, then all you do is direct it to your website. The low cost option would be for you to invest in email marketing or just simply pay for traffic (which is not always low cost).

In conclusion, this is the basics for any teenager making money online and the simple steps that will help them get started with their very own home based business. Teenagers can finally learn how to not only make money, but will acknowledge they can become very successful business owners and will not have worry about how they are going to earn a good income, later on in life. It is a good opportunity also for parents to learn how to make money online while helping their teenagers reach their goal of success.

How to Write Good Blog Posts That People Will Flock to Read by Rebecca Habel

No matter what topic you choose to create your blog, you can find fame if you do it right. Blogs are everywhere. It seems almost everyone who is Internet savvy has their own blog. It might be about their own lives, their experiences or for a product, service, information or opinion. Want-to-be authors write novels and short stories. Here are some simple tips you can use to help you write good blog posts that people will flock to read.

The first step is to write a really compelling and interesting blog. If your blog is great reading, people will read it and they will recommend other people read it too. Word of mouth or viral marketing is a fantastic way to get traffic because it's like having a team of people all working for you, but you don't have to pay.

You need to catch your readers attention. Your title and your introductory sentences should draw your readers into your article. You can be clever, funny or intriguing in your title. Let people know what your blog post is about in the first few sentences.

The rest of your post needs to be well written and interesting enough that your readers will stay on the page until the end. Then you want them to keep reading more posts. Of course it's impossible to please every reader that visits your blog, but those that are genuinely interested in your niche topic should have their attention captured enough to want to return.

When thinking about headlines and introductory paragraphs, consider magazines and newspapers, who have people employed just to write these compelling words. They are what sells the paper or magazine. They matter that much. If you think this is important, it is. You need to take the time to learn how copywriters craft dynamic, compelling headlines that cause casual browsers to become buyers.


The body of your blog post is important as well.
You should write in a clear, simple manner, without lots of long or jargon words.
Keep your sentences and paragraphs short and easy to read.
Use bullets or numbers to emphasize points.
Stay focused on the subject of your post. If you need to digress, create another post and link it to your original one.
Don't make your post too long. Break it up into multiple posts if necessary.
Always re-read what you have written before you post it. Make sure it makes sense and flows logically.
Check for spelling and grammatical errors.
Edit your post before publishing it if necessary.
If time permits, have a friend look over a post you think is particularly important and get feedback.
This is how you make a good blog post. Your first posts are unlikely to make you a famous blogger, or your second or third. Keep adding great posts to your blog as often as possible and you will end up with a great readership if you keep working on your writing.

Writing blog posts is like anything. You get better with practice. Be open to constructive criticism of your writing as it will help you to become a better writer.

Remember the tips given here, promote your blog where ever you can and one day, you will find you are well known in your niche as a great blog writer. Blogging high quality, original content often will bring you a reputation and fame in your chosen topic. Always remember that you are writing for your readers and you want them to be so impressed they will tell their friends to read your posts too.

Learning how to blog takes practice, but you can learn tips and techniques from experts. Blogging On Steroids will speed up your learning and help you to become a great blogger in much less time.

The Two Best Ways to Make Money Online By Uche Okoroha

The Two Best Ways to Make Money Online

Are you tired of hearing the phrase"It's easy to make money online",but when you actually try to make money online,you have a hard time making any money at all?The of the matter is-yes it's quite easy to make money online,but only if you have the KNOWLEDGE and the DITERMINATION to do it.The good news is-if you are reading this,then you are one step ahead of everyone else.Using the information I have outlined here,you should be able to quickly start using the internet to make extra(or full time) income for yourself.

If you go around the internet searching for ways to make money online,chance are that you will run into scams.These online"gurus"will try to make you believe that their 'new' way to make money online will make you rich before you know it.The truth is-no one will make money online off these bogus methode except for the money they make selling it to you.All of the people who REALLY make money online stick with two tried and true methods.

The first of the two method is Google Adsense.
Google Adsense is a great way to make money online!Using Adsense,you can have Google display small,non-obstructive,targeted ads on your website that will earn you money every time a visitor clicks on it.This is also by far one of the easiest ways to make money online.All you have to do is find information that people want to know,provide this information for free on your website,and have Google display ads on your website so you can make money online from it.Its as simple as that.

Two questions might be runnig through your mind right now.The first might be,"what if I don't have a website?"Not a problem!You can still make money online through Adsense by going to sites like blogger.com or wordpress.com and setting up a free blog.Blogs are relatively easy to set up and they takes little internet knowledge to updates.Many people who make money online have blogs,some reaching six figure revenues.The idea is to keep this blogs update with fresh content that people will want to read.If you large amout of people counting on your blog for information,then you can make money online using a blog.

The second question you may be asking is,"what if I don't have anything to write about?"Also not a problem!You can still make money online with free content by going to articles.Simply copy that articles that pertain to the topic of your blog and repost a few every week.Alternatively,you should could go to free content sites(do a Google search)that offer free e-books.Search for a book that you would rarely find online,but also something interests you and pertains to the topic of your blog.Break this book down into little sections every day.You are done with the whole book in a couple of months,you will have good traffic,and you will be indexed in search engines.If you want to makes money online,this is a sure fire-start.However,another crucial part to success is once you have one of these blogs going-REPEAT IT!Create more and more blogs on different subjects.The more time you repeat your successful projects,the more money you make.

The second way you can make money online is through marketing information product.Do you have a special talent?Everyone does!You can make money online through your talents by writing an e-book about something you are passionate about.Make sure,however,that when you are thinking of an idea for an e-book its going to be something that will train others,or solve problems.People will be more likely to purchase your information product online,if they feel like they need it quickly.Say for example that you like to bake cookies.You might write a book about the history of cookies,how many different types of cookies there are,and what ingredients work best in cookies.This might be an interesting book,but no one would feel need to buy it anytime soon.However,if you instead write an e-book about hundreds of different cookies recipes,people that want to bake cookies right away will download your e-AdSense,you should strive to have at least one e-book selling online at all times.This is because once you have done the work in setting up the e-book and the website for it,all the income is passive from that point on and you can focus your attention on other methods to make money online.

Alternatively,if you don't know how to write,you can still make money online selling e-books by having someone write the book for you.There are many websites that will allow you to hire freelance writers.It will cost you,but you it will take the burden of creating your product off your shoulders and you will be able to focus on marketing the book to make money online.If you are creating the sales pitch for your website,try to look some successful sites that sell products similar to yours.See the way they sell their products and what makes the way they market it enticing.Try to implement strategies from successful marketers in your website.
