My Internet Business Success Formula For Beginners - Your Proven Path to Success in 2021

By Paul Uduk

Submitted On January 24, 2021

  

To say it mildly, online businesses are minting millionaires in droves and this is the best time in all of human history to jump online and create wealth for you and loved ones faster than you ever thought possible. This is not utopian.

It used to take companies at least one hundred years to move from their humble beginnings to global brands. Global brands like P&G (1837), Nestle (1866), Heineken (1864) readily come to mind.

On the other hand, it took each of Microsoft (1975), Apple (1976), Amazon (1994) and Google (1998) less than 10 years to become household names.

Making it big is not limited to tech giants. Individuals are making a killing online in fields as varied and mundane as online training, physical fitness, and writing (otherwise called blogging).

Take as an example Brendon Burchard. He is an online trainer who started circa 2009. Today he has over 3 million students in over 100 countries. Hiss impact is so massive, Oprah refers to him as "One of the most successful online trainers in history." His networth is estimated at N22million.

Another example is Ramit Sethi. He launched his first blog in 2004 and in 2018 was featured in Fortune and Forbes simultaneously. In the same year, Forbes featured Ramit side-by-side with Warren Buffet and estimated his networth at $25m.

Making it big is not limited to the menfolk. Chalene Johnson, the global physical fitness icon, has an estimated networth of $10million, while Marie Forleo has estimated networth of $14million.

While Chalene Johnson has been a household name as a physical fitness coach for over 30 years, Marie Forleo catapulted to fame within the last 10 years aided by her Marie TV, online training, coaching and books.

The fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to make it big is to harness the power of the internet. As the internet gurus say, to succeed online, do what works. In short, do not try to reinvent the wheel.

The internet is a paradigm shift. While it has created stupendous wealth for those who master its ecosystem, it has also accelerated the gap between those who know how it works and those who don't.

Generally, whenever there is a paradigm shift, the knowledge base is reset to zero and everyone has to learn anew. To learn fast and easy, it's necessary to follow a proven path.

To succeed and thrive, you should follow what I dub Internet Business Success Formula For Beginners. As you know, there is order in the universe. If there were no order there would have been chaos. My Internet Business Success Formula For Beginners is a brief but powerful framework that shows you how to succeed Online. If you follow it, you'll succeed. If you don't, you will fail.

The formula consists of 7 steps. Here they are:

1. Learn day and night

Despite its seeming plug and play simplicity, the internet is a complex ecosystem. To succeed you must learn day and night because change is fast and furious, with basic algorithms changing overnight. Learning enables you to have depth and breadth and keeps you evergreen

Here is the highlight of the things you should learn. Learn:

• How the internet is evolving

• How to be visible

• How to connect with people

• How to build a list

• How to write scripts

• How to create products

• How to make your products discoverable

• How money is made online

2. Be Visible Off and Online

Being visible requires you increase your off and online footprints so you become known and start building credibility and gravitas. Here are the things you should do to increase your visibility:

• Develop evergreen intellectual properties (books, courses, learning guides, etc.)

• Have a home-base (website or blog)

• Have embassies (social media platforms)

• Have listening posts (mailing lists, social media platforms, podcasts)

• Have satellite towns/cities (guest posting, befriend social media influencers.)

• Stage events and develop your own platforms such as YouTube channel.

• Court the media

3. Build Relationships

To attract strangers, visitors, friends and former enemies into loyal customers and true fans you have to build relationships. While it makes sense to have a vast relationship base, it's more important to build a base of true fans. Here are the things you should do to build relationships:

• Give out valuable things, like books and e-books, free

• Reach out to your other online influencers

• Extend a hand of fellowship to strangers you meet by providing advice

• Help out with specialized information wherever you can, example in forums

• Make recommendations in areas you have authority; don't be shy

• Join people together as a connector

• Ask for help wherever you're challenged, again don't be shy.

4. Build A Mailing List

Make building your mailing list a priority so you have whom to market and sell to tomorrow. There is a raging argument online as to what comes first: mailing list on product. As a beginner don't be distracted by these chicken and egg arguments. List and product are the two sides of the same coin: you online business. Just note that with a list you can market what you don't have through affiliate marketing but a product with a list takes you nowhere. Also note that as a beginner you will not be able to do affiliate marketing. So build you list and pursue your product evenhandedly. Here is how to approach building your list:

• Start a mailing list from day one (at least now you know).

• Begin with the low hanging, medium hanging, and finally high hanging fruits

• Build a segmented list to enable you tailor your messages

• Employ an affordable mailing or contact management system

• Invite people personally to join your list and be persistent

• Give away valuable incentives, such as books, video lessons, etc.

• Keep at it day and night

5. Have Something To Offer (Create Products)

Create products to sell so you can add more value to your followers. People will follow you because you have something to offer them. When you do, you will make money but making money should not be your primary consideration. When you do it well, the money will come. Here are the things you should do:

• Equip yourself with knowledge and wisdom

• Write and refine your intellectual properties to perfection

• Develop irresistible courses, events & platforms

• Master the required technologies for production

• Master the required technologies for delivery

• Be consistent and focus on things that will last, the evergreens

• Specialize so people know what you stand for

6. Learn how to Market and Sell Online

Marketing and selling are the lynchpins that bring in the money. The most successful business owners online excel in marketing and selling. Invest a big percentage of what you generate into marketing to generate more sales and continue growing your business. Here are the things you should do to boost marketing and sales:

• Learn how to use marketing to grow your business

• Understand the psychology of buying and buyer behavior

• Learn how to build your business pipeline

• Learn how to build and optimize your sales funnel

• Learn how to craft sales scripts that convert visitors to customers

• Learn how to use social media for marketing

• Learn how to set up your landing pages

• Pursue selling with gusto because to sell is human but don't be salesy

7. Master Strategies to Win Long Term

Succeeding on a sustainable way online is a marathon. Commit to it for the long haul. Develop insight how effort is monetized online and where money is made along the value chain. Know that Rome, as they say, was not built in a day. If you pursue online business as a sprint or one hundred meters dash, you'll give up too soon and fail. Here are the things you should do at this point:

• Master and refine your winning game plan

• Master the four phases of online business (learning, audience, product, sales)

• Develop a long term view

• Keep keeping things evergreen

• Diversify into adjacent winning areas as you become more confident

• Develop offline assets to mitigate your online risks.

• Repeat and build on the principles of excellence

There you have them, the seven planks that constitute my Internet Business Success Formula. You may be wondering, where is technology, after all we are talking about the internet. The truth is, technology pervades all the seven steps, but technology remains what it is, an enabler. Technology enables you to scale and reach thousands online, but in the end relationships triumph. So we talk about hi-tech, hi-touch.

In the long run you must master technologies that enable you learn day and night, be visible off and online, build relationships, build a mailing list, create products, learn how to market and sell online, and master strategies to win long term.

Knowing the technical aspects or technology is important because you're dealing with machines and technology will help you scale and automate but it's not a paramount condition for success for a beginner.

Success online is anchored in the two magic numbers: 10,000 customer base and $10,000 monthly recurring income. You can achieve both easily if you follow the 7-Step Internet Business Success Formula I have given you in this article. Once you hit these numbers, you're ready to leverage technology to scale. That will be the subject of another article.

How to Make the Most of Paid Guest Posting Sites

By Shalini MSubmitted On February 17, 2021

  

Making money through guest blogging or guest posting is quite popular today, especially among youngsters. As the name indicates, a guest blogger, is one who blogs for some other website. In return, the guest blogger receives a few backlinks, which he can use to popularize his website or blog. Once he posts the guest post or blog on another website, he cannot claim ownership for the same.

Do you get paid for this job? Yes, mostly! When guest posting was first introduced, the blogger used to receive only backlinks in return. However, nowadays, many websites give you money for your posts. If your posts are attractive, and have the potential to increase traffic to that particular website, you get paid well. These websites that pay you for your content are known as paid guest posting sites.

This article will tell you more about how you can earn money from a paid guest posting site, and how you can make the most of it.

Stay Away from Sites that ask you to Pay to Guest-Post for them

While you may be looking for a paid social guest-posting opportunity, you may across some websites or blogs that ask you to pay to get your post published. We recommend you stay away from these sites. These sites don't focus on the quality of the content that is getting published on their site. Instead, they only focus on the payment. As long as the blogger pays them, these site owners accept all types of content.

You look for a paid guest posting gig, because the backlinks can help to promote your brand and blog, don't you? Therefore, you should be careful to avoid these sites that demand payment from you, as they can cause a dent in your brand image.

Check the Site for its Style to Write Relevant Guest Blogs

The different search engines will tell you about the sites that require guest bloggers. Go through each of these sites, and choose the ones whose terms & conditions are clear. Some good sites will take time to accept your post, but it worth waiting for their approval, than writing for sub-standard sites. Before writing your posts, please check about the niches offered on those sites.

You can note the niches you are comfortable with so that you can know how much time you can devote to writing guest blogs. It is highly recommended that you go through a few articles posted on those sites, understand the style, and know the articles' popularity. This will give you an idea of how to pitch your blog to the administrators for approval.

Make your Guest Posts Attractive

Nothing sells better than good content. So, if you want to make decent money from paid guest blogging gigs, you have to be very careful about your content quality. Link back the post to your blog, so that readers can visit your blog, thereby increasing your traffic in the bargain. Make your blogs interesting and relevant. Give a glimpse of your confident personality in your blogs, and encourage them to respond by visiting the link of your blog.

A good paid guest posting site is one that offers you various niches to choose from. You can submit your story in the niches you are comfortable with and know about the most popular or most-used tags. This site also doubles up as a paid social bookmarking site, so that the chances of monetizing your content increase phenomenally.

Before working online, think about how much you value your time. How much do you want to make for each hour that you work? If you want to work for just a small bit, you may never earn more. People will think that you are not worth a lot of money and will pay you in a cheap way.

Effectively Using Overture/Yahoo To Get Website Visitors

  

Effectively Using Overture/Yahoo To Get Website Visitors

Overture or now known as Yahoo because of Yahoo's takeover, was the original inventor of the use of the P4P or Pay for Performance. Overture saw that the internet was fast becoming the easiest and most convenient way to shop, and advertising was going to hit at an all time high because of the many businesses in the arena.

To get a person to go to a site than others, it needs to be very visible. Providing ads that could direct potential consumers and costumers to their site would allow them to have an increase in traffic as well as sales. Yahoo provides a service that can put a site or company's ad in their sites that can be shown when certain keywords are inputted. 

Yahoo offers a chance for any company to increase their traffic by using their services. With more people being aware of your site, there would be more traffic and visitors to your site given the chance to view your pages as well as your products. With even a small percentage of successful sales, with a high traffic volume this could still be a substantial figure for your company. 

Getting a consistent substantial flow of website visitors is every company's goal. Many methods are devised and utilized to ensure that there would be more people to boost the sales and to be aware of the existence of such a product or service. Website visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business. 

Yahoo/Overture utilizes the same principle as Google's Adwords. In fact, they are very similar to each other that they use keyword and keyword phrase searches and to determine which ads to show per search. When a person types in a keyword or keyword phrase to search for anything, the search engines gives out the results in a page. Then at the right side of the page, you will see selected ads that have paid for their ads to be viewed with certain keywords and keyword phrases searched. 

For example, Lets say you run a car parts retail/wholesale site. You choose keywords that can prompt or trigger your ads to be shown in the page when a keyword is searched. When a search engine user types in Honda Accord, your ad may come up if you have designated that as one of your keywords. You don't need to fully optimize your site with Search Engine Optimization methods and techniques. 

While some labor so hard to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search, you get the chance to be on the top of the list or at least in the first page of a search result increasing your chance to be clicked on. With that, you drive traffic and website visitors to your site a lot faster. 

You will have to pony up some cash when using this service though. There are different ways Yahoo/Overture will charge you. It may be in the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or in the many times your ad is clicked on. Others offer many other services like having your ad show up not only in the search engine pages but also with some third party sites.

Third party sites support ads that have the same theme or niche as them. With more areas your ad is shown, you increase the chances of people knowing about your site or product. With more website visitors you increase the sales of your site which makes your investment with your ads a wise one. 

With so many competitions in the internet based businesses, it is necessary to take a huge leap forward from the pack by advertising. Yahoo/Overture will be a great place to start. Many have utilized their services and have reaped the rewards of this decision. It's a marketing strategy that will increase your website visitors as well as increase your sales resulting to profit.  

It takes money to make money, while there are some methods that are basically low cost or free, using a marketing service such as what Yahoo/Overture offers will provide results faster and on a larger scale. Many businesses have learned this the hard way, don't be counted with them.

The 14th Amendment

The 14th Amendment 

 A Democrat will tell you anything. The Forefathers didn't write the 14th Amendment. They were all dead and gone by then. The 14th Amendment didn't show up until AFTER RECONSTRUCTION. Another reason not to vote Democrat.

Also, the 'Language' of the Federalist Papers behind the Amendment make it clear it was written for former Slaves and their offspring. Because Blacks weren't allowed to be citizens. The 14th Amendment made it official. Besides, back then no one could imagine ILLEGALS pouring in from 170 different countries for free stuff.

Trump knew what he was doing in submitting the Executive Order on BirthRight citizenship. He knew it would be  rejected. However, now it will be straightened out and broken down in court.

Why Streaming Video On Blogs Is Popular

 

Why Streaming Video On Blogs Is Popular 

One may have noticed that recently it became very popular for individuals to post streaming videos on their blogs or online journals.  Some people may have asked themselves why streaming video on blogs is popular, and the answer to this can be fairly in depth.  First of all, the purpose of a blog is to share information with one's self or others.  Most people that are going to be using a computer are fairly literate, but in some cases the individuals are not.  When they come to a blog, they can get some of the information from the video and still be able to have a more dependable grasp on the concept, as opposed to not being able to view the video or read the blog.  Secondly, many people do not have time during their busy day to commit to reading.  It is not very easy to read something, and perform other actions at the same time.

However, many people will notice that we are able to watch television and do other things at the same time.  The same is true when it comes to viewing streaming videos on blogs.  Whether the individual is just doing other things on the computer, or they are actually away from the computer but watching the video as if it were the television, the individual that is doing the viewing is able to multi-task in a way that they would be unable to do without the video on the blog.  This simply helps to smooth out a person's life so that they can do other things at the same time, should the individual be in a hurry or want to multi-task.

Some people do not read as fast as others.  However, we all view things at the same speed.  When an individual is not able to read something quickly, they may not be as inclined to work on reading a blog that they may otherwise be interested in reading.  In order to make up for this, many people will post streaming videos on their blog sites in order to capture the attention of an individual that may be either viewing the videos on the blog or reading the blog itself.  If a person sees a video that they are interested in, they may be more likely to read the blog that coincides with it, even if they are a slow reader, because of the fact that they enjoyed the video.  However, this may not be as true of the individual that does not have a video to help pull them in to the blog itself.

Instead, a person may merely skim the blog or skip it entirely.  We are in an age of constantly moving, and unless a person makes a conscious effort to stop and observe something, they are not as inclined to do so.  When people wonder why streaming video on blogs is popular, they really only need to look at the many ways in which the individuals involved are able to prosper both by viewing the video and by posting the video.

Search Engine Friendly Pages

 

Search Engine Friendly Pages

There is no point in building a website unless there are visitors coming in. A major source of traffic for most sites on the Internet is search engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Altavista and so on. Hence, by designing a search engine friendly site, you will be able to rank easily in search engines and obtain more visitors. 

Major search engines use programs called crawlers or robots to index websites to list on their search result pages. They follow links to a page, reads the content of the page and record it in their own database, pulling up the listing as people search for it. 

If you want to make your site indexed easily, you should avoid using frames on your website. Frames will only confuse search engine robots and they might even abandon your site because of that. Moreover, frames make it difficult for users to bookmark a specific page on your site without using long, complicated scripts. 

Do not present important information in Flash movies or in images. Search engine robots can only read text on your source code so if you present important words in Flash movies and images rather than textual form, your search engine ranking will be affected dramatically. 

Use meta tags accordingly on each and every page of your site so that search engine robots know at first glance what that particular page is about and whether or not to index it. By using meta tags, you are making the search engine robot's job easier so they will crawl and index your site more frequently. 

Stop using wrong HTML tags like <font> to style your page. Use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) instead because they are more effective and efficient. By using CSS, you can eliminate redundant HTML tags and make your pages much lighter and faster to load.

Why You Need to Refrain from Documenting Illegal Activities on YouTube

 

Why You Need to Refrain from Documenting Illegal Activities on YouTube

Do you enjoy uploading and sharing videos that you have made with others on YouTube? If so, you are definitely not alone, as YouTube is one of the most popular online video sharing websites.  What is nice about YouTube is that they allow you to upload just about any type of video that you want.  While you have the ability to upload just about any type of video that you want, it doesn't necessarily mean that you should.

One type of video that you will want to refrain from sharing on YouTube is a video that documents you doing something illegal.  On the YouTube website, it is not uncommon to find some videos that show individuals drinking underage, doing drugs, or worse.  In fact, there have been videos documented on the internet before that showed people committing more serious crimes, like robberies or vandalism.  There are some people; hopefully you are not one of them, who think that documenting illegal activities is cool and that it may actually make them seem like a cooler person.  The reality is that your YouTube video may get attention, but it might not be from the people you had hoped to receive attention from.

Although not everyone does so, it is advised that you thoroughly read over all of the information you are given concerning YouTube and its operation. This information can easily be found by visiting the YouTube help center.  There you will see that YouTube, in some instances, works with law enforcement.  What does this mean for you?  This means that should you share videos documenting illegal activities, YouTube may share those videos with the authorities.  In most cases, you will find that this is only done with major crimes, like crimes that involve abuse or sexual assaults, but you still never know. 

In addition to the possibility of YouTube notifying law enforcement when they come across as video that outlines a heinous crime, law enforcement offers are now turning to the internet all on their own.  There have been cases discussed on the news before about how YouTube and other social networking websites actually resulted in a crime being solved.  Unfortunately, a good portion of the general public mistakenly believes that their police officers do not have time to search the internet, but not many are beginning to do so.  That is why it is extremely important that you do not document yourself committing a crime, no matter how minor it may seem.

Aside from the possibility of being caught committing a crime by law enforcement, you also need to worry about others viewing your videos; others who may also have a say in your life.  For instance, if you are still in high school and one of your school officials caught you documenting yourself drinking underage or doing drugs, did you know that you could be suspended from school or school related activities?  If you are not in high school, something similar may happen if one of your employers came across a video of you documenting yourself committing a crime.  Depending on the seriousness of the situation, you may only receive a warning, but you may also lose your job.

As you can see, there are a number of different consequences to documenting yourself on YouTube committing illegal activities, no matter how large or small they are. That is why it is advised that you play it safe; keep all illegal or inappropriate content off of YouTube.
