It doesn't matter what kind of business you have... whether it's a Network Marketing company you represent or you have your own Etsy store, or even an affiliate marketing site you need customers for ~ generating leads is huge. In fact, it's the life blood of your business. If you're looking at traditional "leads" they can be very expensive and of very low quality... what you want and need are high quality, super targeted leads... you need people who are looking for exactly what you've … [Read more...]
The Evolution of an Internet Business
April 21, 2011 By 16 Comments
Spending time in the Kiss Club is really interesting to me. Besides the great conversation, and support I see, I also get to see new people starting their journey in this business. I also get to see a glimmer of how people see others who are making money doing this business. I also get to see people grow and evolve in their businesses. There are members of the KISS Club I've known for a while. Some of them I have done private coaching with, and others I've just known from the blog. I am … [Read more...]
Having the Best of Both Worlds… A Plan of Action
March 29, 2011 By 13 Comments
If you plan to make money online it comes down to one thing: you have to sell something. When it comes down to what there is to sell it comes down to one of two things: You or Stuff. If you want to be profitable, it will come down to choosing a business model where you either sell yourself or you sell stuff. So let's take a deeper look at both, because, while I go on and on about picking one thing and sticking with it, I am almost ALWAYS in a push pull with which direction I should take. … [Read more...]
Blogging Lessons Learned from Pawn Stars
March 9, 2011 By 24 Comments
Lately we've been watching Pawn Stars. At first glance it seems like a really dumb show, however, when you start watching it it's really kind of interesting. In case you're not familiar with the show, it's about 3 guys who own a pawn shop in Vegas. People come in with all kinds of crazy and interesting stuff they want to sell at the Pawn shop. When someone comes in with something that Rick (the owner) doesn't know much about, or doesn't know what it's worth he'll call in a "friend" who's an … [Read more...]
Strategically Designing a Niche Site
September 13, 2010 By 29 Comments
Over the last couple years there are two things I've learned that really stick out for me. They are the two lessons that have really changed the way I look at designing and building sites. 1. The more specific you can be the better. 2. Physical products sell. All of my work in Squidoo really helped me learned these lessons ~ on a free platform where I didn't have anything to lose. I've taken the information I learned there and applied it to virtual real estate I own. (wordpress … [Read more...]
Free Blog Images ~ That Can Make You Money Too!
August 25, 2010 By 25 Comments
I don't use a lot of images on this blog, but images can really add to a site. They look great and can serve to keep people on your site a little longer. They can also really bring home a point you're making in your blog post. Here's the rub... Where do you find great images you can legally use without paying for them? Sure you can scour through flickr and find images you can use, but I've got another idea. Allposters.com Yep, a poster store. They have thousands of posters on … [Read more...]
What Would You Do Wednesday…
August 11, 2010 By 13 Comments
Back a few years ago when I was doing some individual coaching with Courtney Tuttle I really just wanted him to tell me what to do. I wanted a list of stuff so I could just go do it. If I got the list and did it I would be making money and that's really what I wanted; to experience success (finally)! If I had the list and did it and didn't make money there would also be someone else to blame besides myself for my failure! He said to me... Internet marketing is 90% art and 10% science I … [Read more...]
Giving It All Away to Make Money
July 26, 2010 By 25 Comments
Most of us create sites with a pretty stable plan in mind for how we're going to make money from that site. Generally that includes putting ads on the site, selling products from the site, putting up banners that people will click to buy something from the site... it usually means making money ON the site in some form or fashion. Often we get very STUCK in this is exactly how I'm going to monetize the site. What happens when you realize the topic you've decided on for your site just doesn't … [Read more...]
Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
Social media gives me the opportunity to get to know you better, as well as giving me the opportunity to share more of me than just the "internet marketing" side. I share multiple facets of me, and my life on social media, so if you choose to connect with me don't expect it to be 100% internet marketing... because it's not. :)
