If you're gonna read this you better leave something worth at least a dollar!

[rapidscc]

haha Got You!

Now you have to leave something valuable at least worth a dollar.

Let me start.

1. When you bookmark using DIGG it will show up on Google search within 24 hours..I did this. It's proven.

2. Ezinearticles have a high google ranking.

3. If you're gonna blog using PLR articles at least give it a common theme to be noticed.

4. You could easily create a download link by uploading your pdf file to your site and using the tag <a href="your_pdf.pdf">FREE MILLION IN A MINUTE</a>

ok..not its your turn....

5. Free hosting sucks
6. If you're not doing video, you are leaving money on the table
7. Take action & make as many mistakes as you can to avoid making them later
8. Start doing it as soon as possible

Aim to discover how to do things the most effectively rather than the most cheaply. In the long run, it often amounts to the same thing.

Save everything, even the article you wrote and decided was too crap even for a bot to read. You'll look at it with fresh eyes one day and turn it into one of the best things you've ever written.

Join the War Room if you haven't already. You can't move in there without falling over threads that are worth a zillion times more than the price of entry.

Sandals with socks. Just don't. Not ever.

[DeePower]

Don't try. Do.

If you tell your Irish Setter she's getting a peanut butter bone, she better get it, or there will be H-ll to pay.

Know when to quit.

Don't give up too soon.

Are we all starting from one?

1.) Your signature line on the forum is valuable real estate. It's a waste not to have one. Don't abuse it, however, and read the forum rules.

2.) AssociatedContent.com is also very good for article marketers. And they pay you - a teeny amount of money - for some of the articles that you write.

3.) If you are going to create an adsense site, make sure that the site is well laid out for adsense - do a google search for adsense-optimized wordpress themes - and then make sure that you create a site based on high paying adsense words.

4.) Consider affiliate marketing rather than adsense because affiliate marketing pays better.

5.) Picking high gravity, quality Clickbank products to promote - as in, don't promote Water 4 Gas just because it's high gravity, you need to promote something that is ethical, high quality AND popular - has worked well for me.

[SurviveUnemployment]

Listen to advice you get on these forums. My AdSense CTR skyrocketed in just one day from a few simple changes that took a few minutes to make.

[rapidscc]

Wow Tips very informative...keep it coming warriors!

:-)

[George Wright]

Dana, I'll break the mold.

100) If you need money just ask for it. In fact if you need anything just ask for it. Remember to have something to give worth as much or more than the amount of money you are asking for. From your end it's called over deliver.

A homeless man on the street has his formula = ask xxx people for $x and he will make $xx by the end of the day. What does he give in return? Either the warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you help someone or the relief you get when he leaves you alone after "paying" him to go away. What do you expect for a quarter?

rapidscc asked for something worth a dollar. He got it. He gave a tip worth more than a dollar, he over delivered.

You get when you give. (Don't look for it, I already own the .com LOL) So....

100) If you need something just ask for it.

1) Listen to me...
2) Listen closely
3) Do the complete opposite to whatever I say...
4) Then come back for more because you know my way works, no doubt.

Those who think they are gonna Phail are gonna phail... and those who think they are gonna succeed, already are doing...

Now go makeh teh monizes...

Now.... on a more serious note.

My dollars worth:

If you think you don't have time to create a full time income from home.. then you shouldn't be reading this, or anything here. Because you should be taking consistent action each and every day on a specific part of your business plan. If you don't have a business plan, get one. The WF should not be a part of your business plan. It is like being down the pub, treat yourself AFTER you have put in some income producing activity for the day.

Make a 1 year plan.

6 months into working that plan, assess the situation and make an added one year plan, basd on your 6 month results.

You WILL not do this without a plan of action

Peace

Jay

[jestershaw]

I rather enjoy your posts Jay! You bring a bit of levity into every post that you comment on. Nice job.

My two bits:

Write an article and submit it to a few article sites like ezines. Once it is published write a few blogs and put the link to that article in your blogs. This will drive a lot more traffic to that article.

Write an article and get it on Ezine FIRST. Then do buzzle, ideamarketers, articlesbase, etc. Do a squidoo page and buy your own domain name and do a quality blog. And never, never, never give up no matter what friends/family say. You can do this. <yoda>Do or do not! There is no TRY</yoda>

[rontoski]

For what this is worth....

If you are a Newbie or an old hand with no sales....
Prowl around in the Forum until you discover who the top three or four marketers (not the big Gurus). Write them down on a 3 x 5 and then research the heck out of them. Choose the one that stands out as a man or woman you can trust. Then follow that person's lead. Do everything they are doing within the budget you have to work. Quit trying to follow everybody. You will have plenty of time later on when a few bucks start hitting your PayPal to check out the others on your list. An old sage, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." So get on with it!

[naruq]

Excellent Post Astracadia! Remember think in terms of ROI. Ask yourself what you will earn? Then ask yourself How Much of an Investment will it take? If your ROI is higher than your investment take action.

Chris,

I saw your generous offer to ask a question... so here I am.

I started working through some StomperNet CD's and using Zeus to gather link partnters... and got stuck.

Zeus (the software) makes a big deal out of having a "theme" for your link directory. Since Resource page links are (or appear to be) primarily for the spiders and getting ranked better, should I be concerned about having a theme among my Resource link partners?

Thanks.

[keithakin]

Stop worrying about getting everything just right. Just freakin' do it! And get something going.

Once you have a start point, you can tweak it from there!

[lakshaybehl]

THREE THINGS YOU MUST DO IN ORDER TO HAVE SYSTEMS WORKING FOR YOU DAYT IN AND DAY OUT WHILE YOU ARE SIPPING CHAMPAGNE...


1. Network with other marketers and share your problems with them, also not to forget brainstorm together on the problems that any of you are having to make lives much easier for all of you. Also help eaxh other with their businesses.

2. Automate as many things as possible through the use of MACROS etc. That will free up a LOT of time that can be used elsewhere for something that is not redundant.

3. Outsource anything that does not require your own effort and time specifically because you know you are having it done from a professional at a reasonable price.

Worth a dollaR?

If you take this lesson from here, its worth BILLIONS of dollars for you and even for me sop I keep them central to my businesses.

WARNING: These methods can have a dramatically negative impact on your love life if you try to use them there. And you risk losing the person of your dreams to the person whom you outsource the redundant tasks to... hehehe

[David Maschke]

Master resale rights is a great viral tool. But how many products with master resale rights have you seen where the creator fails to ask for an email address? Imagine all the lost traffic possibilities.

There is still room to improve on the wheel, where others fail to see opportunity.

[Killer Joe]

Just tried uploading a McDontknows' double cheeseburger with extra ketchup to keep up with my end of the bargin. Now my CD writer looks likes something Sarah Palin shot.

I wished you had been more specific with that dollar payback thing...

[Gene Pimentel]

1) Instead of placing blank index pages inside folders that people shouldn't have access to (like your [images] folder), place an index page containing a "secret" unadvertised offer. Many people look in commonly known folders for the heck of it. May as well take advantage of their eyeballs.

2) Never play leap-frog with a unicorn.

[avenuegirl]

If you are doing the same thing over and over again and not getting the desired results, then it is time to try doing something different.

This applies as well to "not doing" something over and over again.

If you don't ask the question, I can't tell you the answer.

I don't have all the answers, but I did teach the guy who does have all the answers everything he knows.

[Dan Grossman]

People will always pay for solutions to their problems.

Sell what people need instead of trying to make them need what you sell.

Article marketing is about as valuable to your business in the long run as spamming.

[Allen Graves]

Don't be afraid to spend a little money. No...not on the next get rich quick scam or WSO. I mean things like website templates or helpful scripts and stuff that you KNOW will actually make your life easier.

When I first started, I HAD to do it on my own...for free.

Well, looking back...I wish I had spent a few dollars!!!

[Tom Dean]

Use the Forums blog!

You can get on the 1st page of google for at least a while.

Some post I checked from random members blog post are still there.

You can enjoyed a nice surge of traffic even it it is just for a day or two.

2. Monetize your 404 pages.



Good Enough?

[Paul M]

Customer services.

1. Always over deliver and impress your customers.

2. Know that the customer is always right, even when there wrong.

3. If you have messed up don't make excuses, admit it and apologies,
your customers will like you for being honest.

4. Always understand the customers point of view and make them feel
supported.

5. Never break a promise to a customer, if they trust you to keep your word,
then they will trust to buy from you again.

Regards,
paul

[Dave Allen]

1) Learn to view your market through your "ideal prospect's" eyes.

2) In-depth research uncovers "voids" in the market. Discover and service these and you instantly position your business to win.

3) Build your whole business concept around an incredibly powerful "irresistible offer." Make it a BIG breakthrough -- new and exciting.

4) Integrate as many newsworthy and viral elements into your business concept right from the start.

5) Only sell products where "a strong desire to buy" already exists.

[Dan Grossman]

Those are some good ones Dave.

[Zeus66]

1. Bend like a reed in the wind. Never break.

2. Always spit downwind.

3. Throw out any and all sweater vests.

4. Remember: the spice must flow.

Yes, I'm that weird.

[bobsstuff]

Take time to smell the roses.
I am guilty of too many hours working

Let someone you love, know you love them.
I do that daily

Each thing you do to improve your inner self, improves you chance of success everywhere else.

[ptwain]

1. Have a plan of action
2. It's Ok to fail
3. You can't succeed without Action!
4. Stop thinking about the result, and work on the process.
5. Believe in what you're doing, and the rest will take of itself.

[Pete223]

1) Always remember why you wanted to work
from home in the first place...

2) Stop saying to yourself " I can't..."

3) Don't stand up in a canoe!

[AndrewCavanagh]

1. If you have a domain name that 100% matches a keyword phrase your chance of getting that domain ranked # 1 on Google is MUCH higher.

With some long tail keyword phrases all you need to get the domain ranked # 1 on Google is to get it indexed (one simple backlink from a blog or forum will do it.)


2. Don't spit against the wind.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

[Vyliss]

1) give more than you expect to receive
2) do something towards your goals everyday, even if it's for 20 mins
3) don't forget what is really important (family, friends, health etc)
4) know you must be willing to sacrifice to get what you want
5) don't take anyone's word for it... test things for yourself
6) leverage everything!
7) stop worrying and caring about what other people are doing... test/track and USE YOUR OWN BRAIN, compare with yourself not with others
8) fail a lot and don't be afraid to try new things
9) be in the business to help others and enjoy the ride.
10) read a bit but DO A LOT!

[ecoverartist]

1) Learning good copywriting is worth its weight in gold.
2) Learn from others so that you can sidestep the same mistakes they made. You've got a whole lifetime to make plenty of your own.
3) Pick one strategy you like and stick with it.
4) When you're tired of that strategy, stick with it anyway. The few that persevere are the ones that usually come out on top.
5) Have the pizza delivery phone number on speed dial in case you burn dinner

[Paul M]

Create a plan of action for everyday, list the thing you must do
before the end of the day that will further your business.

Set small step-by-step goals to lead you to your ultimate goal.

Outsource what you can and save your valuable time for tasks
that can't be outsourced.

P.S. don't eat yellow snow

Regards,
paul

[Amy Bass]

1. Get out of debt
2. STAY out of debt
3. Finance your business with profits
4. Spend less than you make

[Jose Delgado]

1. Focus
2. Focus
3. Focus
4. ...and Focus a little harder.

[KristenArnold]

546. Create a to do list and put a $ value next to each item to prioritize
547. Anything that doesn't make you $ outsource
548. You can't do it alone, figure out your support team early
549. Turn off the T.V. and put that energy into action
550. Do what you do best and don't take no for an answer
551. Understand that you can't analyze conversion rates if you don't have traffic
552. Don't spend weeks tweeking SEO on your page and use that as an excuse, put other traffic tactics into place

[ShayRockhold]

1. Whether you realize it or not, you possess knowledge that someone else does not, but wants to.

2. You can provide that knowledge to others and make money doing it.

[Deric Yin]

553. Download the Printable CEO, and use it! My favorite is the Emergent Task Planner.

[Deric Yin]

Know where your conversion bottlenecks are. For example - if you are doing article marketing to drive traffic to a squeeze page, after which you followed up with an offer, then track -

Total article views
% into URL clicks (to your squeeze page)
% opted in
% confirmed (assuming double opt-in)
% opened follow-up email
% clicked thru to sales page
% clicked thru to OTO / upsell page
% purchased

Know where your bottlenecks are, and fix them. Once you've got your conversion machine well oiled up (or as Mark Joyner puts it - 'achieve minimal efficiency') - then it's a matter of pumping in upfront traffic (or increasing article pageviews in the example above).

[Jonathan Mizel]

1) If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. But if you give a fish a man, you can feed that fish for many weeks.

2) Never start an online project unless you know exactly where you are going to get your visitors. If it's a niche project with low search volume, you will largely be limited to search engines, and it will never be a blockbuster.

3) Tie your continuity program to a service like hosting to keep people as paying members.

4) Think about the other 150,000,000 consumers out there who aren't into Internet Marketing.

5) Walk your dog more.

[deannatroupe]

One word. Twitter. I know that was worth a dollar. LOL

[Eric Lorence]

Secure your webserver account...

NEVER log in to your cpanel with a "http" protocol, always use "https"

Otherwise, a moderately skilled crook will be able to view your info with ease!

The url will usually be: https://yourdomainhere(.)com:2083/

I can't count how many members, and veterans have had their products and sites compromised by not using basic security.

Hope that's worth a dollar!

[Leanne King]

Learn how to do one thing well, for example social bookmarking and then learn how to do another thing well, for example article marketing. Make it a practice to learn how to do one new trick a month.

Always keep the end goal and the coffee in sight.

Leanne

[TashylaB]

1) Set goals and focus on them daily.
2) Never give up
3) Try different routes
4) Don't underestimate the power of Craigslist and Yahoo answers
