Every great blogging website starts with a great idea,
and you can’t build a successful site that will last
without one. There are many great sites aimed at
today’s bloggers, and competition for the attention of
this growing demographic is fierce. To make your
blogging website stand out from the pack, you will
need to offer something that no other site is currently
offering or you will need to do the same thing that an
already popular site does but in a more impressive or
valuable way.

One way to discover an ideal model for your blogging
website is to look at the sites that have successfully
captured a blogging audience already to determine if
you can appropriate some of their strategies to help
realize your vision. Of course, you will also need to add
a unique flair to your project to stand apart
from your competition. Many people agree that the web
sites that do the best in today’s market are the sites that
have the most personality. The fiercely individual
surfers who are bloggers are a demographic that
responds especially strongly to personality, so consider
how you can give your site a unique and attractive
feeling by lending your voice and sensibility to
your site’s design and content.

Once you have a great idea for your site, have
pinpointed a special niche that you are well-equipped to
fill, and have infused the site with personality, the next
step is figuring out how to get the word out to bloggers.
In the long run, a great idea isn’t enough to propel
your blogging website to success. You will need to
draft a smart and realistic marketing plan to
draw readers to your site. Once you hook a blogger,
your great content will keep them coming back, but it is
vital to get that first glance or your site won’t have a
chance to shine.

Successful blogging that develops a loyal
following comes from sharing your thoughts on a
subject in which others will see you as an
authority.

If you are interested in becoming your own boss, there are a number of different ways that you can go about making money. Many of those ways involve the use of the internet and working from home. This is why you and other disabled individuals may enjoy starting your own business or participating in an existing business opportunity, all because you can work from home. Working from home will not only allow you save money on travel expenses, but depending on your disability, it may eliminate the hassle of getting to and from work.

One of the many money making opportunities you will find online involves the buying of private label resell rights. Resell rights can be obtained for a number of different products. These products may include software programs, a mass collection of content articles, or e-books. Of course, you can choose any product that you want, but you may seriously want to think about purchasing the resell rights to software programs. Many software programs are needed by everyday individuals, large companies, and small business owners. The popularity of most software programs should enable you to make more money, when it comes to reselling private label software.

To get started making money with private label resell rights, for software programs, you will need to find an individual to do business with. In most cases, you will find that the individual you are doing business with was the original creator of the software program. Most of these software designers and developers do not have the time or the knowledge needed to sell their own products, therefore, they rely on someone just like you. They do this by selling you the resell rights to their software programs or other software products.

If you are able to financially afford the cost of purchasing software resell rights, you are encouraged to take part in this amazing opportunity, even if you only give it a chance. For many with a disability, this is the perfect way to make money. To make money with private label resell rights, you must sell your newly acquired product. There are a number of different ways that you can do about doing this. It is likely that you will find that many of these selling methods require a small amount of time and a small amount of effort.

Popular software selling methods include the creating of a product website, the use of online classified ads, the use of local classified ads, and the use of online auction websites. If properly used, all of these methods may be able to help you generate sales for the software program, which you legally obtained the rights to. Despite the fact that these selling methods are typically successful, it does not guarantee that you fill find that same success.

Whether you are confined to a wheel chair, unable to socialize well with others, or unable to work long hours at time, you may be able to make a substantial amount of money selling private label software. Hundreds of disabled individuals have found success with this type of business opportunity and now you can too.

The popularity of e-books has rapidly increased over the past few years now. Many readers are not only finding it convenient to purchase them, but cheaper. In most cases, e-books are easily to read on the computer, but they can also be printed off. Since more and more consumers are interested in purchasing e-books, there are more individuals who are looking to make money off of them. If you are able to do this, you may find success; however, that success will not come without hard work.

If you have never created an e-book before, it is difficult to understand exactly how much hard work it entails. To be worth the buy, most e-books are at least one hundred pages long; however, some are longer. If you are interested in creating an e-book, it may take months for you to finish the book. In addition to hard work, you must also have writing experience and knowledge on the topic that you are writing about. This knowledge and experience isn’t necessarily necessary; however, it is important to the success of your e-book. It is a fact that customers do not and will not purchase poor quality work.

In addition to writing a quality e-book, you will also have to find ways to sell it. Together, the two could take a large amount of time. For many individuals, this is a major turn off; however, there are alternatives. If you are interested in selling e-books, to make a profit, you do not necessarily have to create your own. Instead you can obtain the private label resell rights to another e-book. Obtaining the resell rights to an e-book will allow you, in many cases, to assume to the work as your own, edit the content, and pocket the money from each sale of the book.

The biggest downside to obtaining the resell rights to an e-book is the amount of money that you will have to spend. Depending on who you do business with, the cost of acquiring private label resell rights may be fairly expensive. Since most freelance writers spend a large amount of time creating their e-books, as previously mentioned, they may want to appropriately be compensated. The cost of resell rights to an e-book may be considered a disadvantage to this unique business opportunity, but it can also be considered an advantage. E-book authors that charge more for their work typically have produced better content; better content is easier to sell.

Whether you make the decision to develop your own e-book or purchase the resell rights to someone else’s, you will still have to find a way to market the e-book to the general public. This, depending on what approach you take, can take time. That is why many individuals prefer purchasing the resell rights to an e-book that has already been created. This allows them to spend more time on marketing, which will in turn create sales.

If you are unsure as to whether or not you should create your own e-book or obtain the resell rights to another, you are not alone. There are a number of other individuals wondering the same thing. Private label resell rights are an amazing business opportunity for some, but not for all. There is a great free audio course on private label resell rights at www.plrtips.com check this out today. All online business opportunities take time to find success. If you have the financial resources needed to obtain the resell rights to a well written e-book, you are encouraged to give this opportunity a shot. You are not guaranteed results, but you may be surprised with what you find.

If you try obtaining the resell rights to an e-book and the experience is not what you had in mind you can begin to create your own e-books or move onto another business opportunity. Unlike many other business ventures, private label resell rights allow you to get out when you want. After you have paid for the resell rights to an e-book, it is yours to do with. This means that you can stop at anytime and move on to something else, if you desire.

What I’m sharing with you are nuggets of wisdom built over the years so that you can learn from it and hopefully not make the same mistakes.

This is not a complete list by no means, however, they are what I feel to be the most important and are organized in the same way you will experience them as you start your business. So here’s my common sense marketing…

Know Your Value and What You’re Getting Yourself Into

1. The internet alone doesn’t make you money. It’s simply an extension of the person YOU are and the value you deliver to others. Focus on adding value to people’s lives and they will happily pay you for your solution.

2. There is NO ‘one way’ to make money online and NO ‘one way’ is set in stone. Every technique you’ve come across is (and will always be) a work in progress.

3. Get comfortable selling. If you’ve never sold anything before online, how do you expect to make money? Even if you’re not selling to someone directly, you’re still convincing someone to do something, (e.g. click on your website link, sign up, join a program, refer a friend, etc.)

4. You are either an affiliate or a product seller or a service provider. Out of all the possible ‘money-making techniques’ you will end up selling or promoting other people’s products (i.e. as an affiliate, per lead generator, or contextual advertiser), or you will be selling your products (i.e. ClickBank vendor, solo ad vendor, eCommerce store, eBay selling, site flipping, etc), or you will be providing a service (such as freelancing, installing sites, coaching, etc.) Know where you stand in the bigger picture to help you create a better marketing plan and develop a great sales funnel!

5. Become a seller, not a consumer. Picture yourself as a shop owner, with products to sell and customers walking into your store every day. Know your products, demonstrate the products, advise your customers, and make selling second nature. Don’t walk across the street, walk into your competitor’s shop, consume their products, and let them advise you. Likewise don’t keep opening emails thinking that you need to buy everything that comes your way. Use your filter to organize your messages and only purchase a product if you need it, or if you want to spy on your competition. You’re the boss of your business and are in full control. Keep it that way.

Conversions, Traffic, and Profit Hot Spots

6. Focus on ONE profitable ever-green niche and stick with it. The big niches are health and fitness, wealth, relationships, and personal development. There are plenty of sub-niches within these main niches. Tackling several niches at once will hinder your focus. Only enter into another niche when you’re happy with the results from your first niche and can use its profits to grow the next business.

7. Focus on creating a sales funnel. Very rarely does a person buy one product and never buy anything related to that product ever again. Always offer upsells, downsells, membership plans, and cross-promote offers to maximize your sales and deliver tremendous value at the same time. You don’t have to have everything ready at once either. A squeeze page and one offer are enough to get started. Add more to it as you develop.

8. Conversions first, then traffic. Traffic by itself is useless unless it can be converted into sales. To convert traffic into sales you need to work on your conversions and one of the biggest factors that lead to high conversions are good copywriting, story-telling, sales videos, bonuses, and testimonials.

9. The source of traffic matters. Pay-per-click differs from forum traffic. Video traffic differs from article traffic. Email traffic differs from search engine traffic. Expect to create different variations of landing pages and sales pages based on your traffic source.

10. Quality content produces quality traffic. Invest your time in producing and/or outsourcing videos, articles, reports, and eBooks, that are worth spreading and can go viral. Just because it’s free doesn’t mean it should be junk. It should represent the value of your paid products or services.

11. Build and cultivate a response mailing list. Don’t expect every visitor to buy your product or recommendation right away. Don’t expect them to remember your site URL, or to even bookmark the page. Instead, make it a priority to get their email address and use your autoresponder to follow up with them, provide great value, and then make the sale. It pays off in the long term.

12. Work on your copy-writing skills. Everything is copy-writing, a blog post title, an email subject line, a pay-per-click ad, a banner, sales letters, sales video scripts, etc. Good old-fashioned copy-writing is a transferable skill. It goes a long way and is what makes the sale. After all… you’re reading this aren’t you?

13. Use PLR and resell rights to make sales fast. Yes, it’s good practice to create your unique products from scratch, but if you want to turn a profit quickly, re-work existing PLR (private label rights) or use resell rights products and sell them. Don’t let it sit on your hard drive. There’s plenty of good PLR in the big niches previously mentioned. When you have good cash flow, then you can create your products.

14. Re-purpose and distribute your content for effective marketing. An article can be used as a Facebook post. A Facebook post can be used as a blog post. A blog post can be turned into a PDF report. A PDF report can be submitted to eBook directories. A PDF report can also be turned into a slide presentation. A slide presentation can be submitted to slide presentation sites. A voice-over reading aloud the slides can be turned into a video. A video can be submitted to video sites… and so on. Make full use of existing content re-purpose it and distribute it through multiple channels to make a bigger marketing impact.

Making The Transition To Full Time Online

15. Don’t jump from a full-time job to internet marketing and expect to replace your income. Most likely it won’t happen. Instead, reduce your hours at your job, and work on your internet business on the side. Prove to yourself that you can make sales consistently, and grow and scale up to meet, even surpass your job income before going full-time online.

16. If you plan to jump full-time online, be sure you have enough saved to cover at least a year’s worth of expenses. For example, if your expenses are $1000 a month, be sure you have at least $12,000 saved up. That way you can put a time limit on your business and give yourself enough time to decide if you can do this full-time, or if you need to go back to work and earn more.

17. If you’ve spent more than 1 year online (as in 8-10 hours a day for 365 days) actively looking for ways to make money online and still trying to make your first sale then you’re doing it wrong. Instead find someone who is already successful in an area you’d like to study, and get them to mentor you. You will learn much faster, take action on the right things, and get better results. This will only motivate you and give you a push for the right redirection.

Planning, Executing, and Failing Properly

18. Don’t work hard. Work smart, then work hard. Better to have a 90% solid plan and work at a 50% pace than to have no plan and work at a 100% pace.

19. Don’t focus so much on time management, focus more on completing a task 100%. If you don’t finish a task for the day, move it on to the next and focus on it until it’s complete.

20. You will never get things perfect the first time around. Launch your product, publish your post, send out your email, create your video, make your sales, get feedback, and then improve it, if necessary.

21. If you’re stepping into uncertainty and are going to fail, do it fast and cheaply. Use the data as a learning experience to help you make smarter and wiser decisions in the future.

22. Never take failure personally. Control that negative talk in your head and use it as a learning experience. You’ve just learned another way NOT to do things. Enough numbers will show you exactly what you need to be doing.

23. You will have bad days. If things aren’t going your way, step away from the computer, go get from fresh air, or take a nap. Don’t waste time browsing the web or checking email because it will make you more irritated.

24. You will experience burnout. On those days your energy levels are low. Don’t do any brain-intensive tasks. Sleep if you need to and spend time recharging because your focus levels will be off and you will make more mistakes in your work as a result.

25. Don’t fall into the trap of doing nothing. At least if you fail at something you can still learn from it. Doing nothing, waiting for something to happen, or letting excuses hold you back will not improve the situation. Take control and do what you can as far as you can to the best of your ability.

Outsourcing and Scaling Up

26. Don’t outsource and delegate until your business is ready for it. Bootstrap and do everything yourself until you can make enough sales to outsource tasks to someone. If you can’t get to this stage, then go back to the basics. Traffic > squeeze page > offer.

27. Know the value of your time. If you make $100 a day and work 8 hours daily, your time is worth $12.50 an hour. Therefore a task that you can outsource for $10 an hour is worth it to you especially if it takes you longer than one hour to do it! Whilst you outsource your task, you should be spending your time on the most valuable tasks.

28. Don’t buy paid advertising until you know you can convert it. Otherwise, you might as well be throwing money down the drain. (Refer back to the part about conversions before traffic.)

29. Make the goal of paid advertising to break even. If you can break even with one squeeze page and one offer then you are building a list for free. Any additional upsells added to your sales funnel will increase your profit from there on out.

30. Split test only when you are converting paid traffic. Use split testing tools only when you are certain that you can convert paid traffic and break even. Now you can optimize your squeeze page, optimize your offer, change your prices, alter your sales video, change the title, add or remove sales copy, and find out what works.

Preparing For The Worst and Making Backup Plans

31. Don’t rely solely on PayPal as your source of income. Use multiple payment systems such as ClickBank, Zaxaa with Stripe, JVZoo with Stripe Authorize.net, 2CheckOut, and many others. PayPal can place your account on review, freeze your account, or even worse suspend it. The last thing you want is your income to come to a stop just because PayPal says so. So prepare yourself now and have backup plans in place.

32. Use your credit card to pay for (recurring) expenses, not your PayPal account. If PayPal puts your account on hold long enough, the services you pay for are placed on hold too. Don’t allow your web hosting to be suspended access to your autoresponder denied or cloud storage to be disabled simply because funds can’t leave your PayPal account. Set up all your payments through a credit card to avoid the possibility of this happening altogether.

33. Don’t rely on one autoresponder for your entire list. Starting with one list is fine. But when you have tens of thousands of subscribers, you should split them into at least two autoresponders such as Aweber and GetResponse. If one company shuts down or is performing maintenance when you want to send out an email, your income is affected.

34. Be prepared for things to go wrong because they do go wrong. Save your work to your computer, use cloud storage like Google Drive, or Amazon S3, and save your work to external hard drives. Make backups of your websites, blogs, plugins, themes, any customized code, software, etc. Make backups of your backups. If you’re going to put 1000s of hours of your work into your business, don’t allow it to suddenly get wiped out overnight from a hardware failure, virus, or anything else. Make preparations asap.

Business Achievements, Income and Expenses

35. Take screenshots of your income. This serves two purposes. It proves to others that you know what you’re doing and it serves as a reminder to yourself of what you’ve accomplished.

36. Take screenshots of your business achievements. Whether you’re getting consistent traffic or built a sizeable list, you’ve come first in an affiliate contest, or you’ve received a certificate from ClickBank, or you’ve achieved PowerSeller status on eBay… take a screenshot or photo of it and use it as proof of your endeavors.

37. Ask for testimonials and feedback from your customers. Yes, you can write a convincing sales letter, and show people you know what you’re doing, but if you can prove that your product or service delivers results, a testimonial goes a long way.

38. Clear off your debts as early and as quickly as possible. When you start making money consistently online it’s very easy to start living it up! The interest that accumulates from personal loans and credit cards adds up quickly. Don’t put yourself in a position where you’re paying nearly as much interest as you are paying the debt. Pay it off as soon as you can so you can start saving!

39. Stay on top of your taxes. Once you start earning more than the yearly allowance, depending on your income, be prepared to put 20-40% aside for taxes, national insurance, student loans, etc. each month. Google ‘tax calculator’ to find out how much you will be paying in your country and to get an accurate breakdown of the costs. As a UK resident, filing a tax return in the UK online is very straightforward. Even if you’re within your yearly allowance it’s worth filing a return just to get experience with the process. Do not fear it. Treat it as another bill that needs to be paid and factor it into your business then you won’t be hassled by the brown envelopes.

Cultivating a Positive Attitude and Keeping It For Life

40. Cultivate a positive focus mind. It’s easy to be negative, find faults in things, and look for others to blame. It takes no effort to think or be like this. However, self-praise, forward-thinking, creativity, and taking action require mental strength and courage. Cultivate a positive mind in your business and it will spread naturally to all other areas of your life.

41. Stay away from nay-sayers and haters. People who do not develop themselves are quick to have an opinion on something they don’t understand. Even worse you can offend them and they belittle you and try to talk you down. This is because they are too afraid to step up their game and better themselves. After all, they have their fears. I would strongly recommend you cut these people from your life completely. However, if these happen to be close members of your family or your spouse, keep your ideas and plans to yourself, and divert attention away from your business when it comes up in conversation.

42. Spend more time with like-minded people. Go to seminar events, network with people who think like you, and talk to people who love talking about ideas. Ideas will bounce off each other and you will stimulate each other’s minds. When you’re in the presence of creative people, it’s a completely different energy. It will rub off on you and you will approach your business with a new perspective.

43. You can make money or you can make excuses… but you can’t make both! Talking about your problems to others or looking for someone to complain to is a completely different state of mind from someone who is planning, creating, and doing. Decide whether you’re in this to make money or to tell others that it can’t be done.

Final Thoughts…
