			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve recently read a forum post from Daniel E. Taylor at the <a href="http://warriorforum.com" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: line-through" rel="nofollow">Warrior Forum</a> about how average marketers went from a few thousand dollars a month, up to $50K a month! The post is very I opening, so if you&#8217;ve ever planed to have an online business, you absolutely have to read it:</p>
<p>&#8220;I know that number may seem unreachable, or huge<br />
to you.  Don&#8217;t worry.  It&#8217;s not only possible it&#8217;s really<br />
pennies compared to the infinite possibilities there are<br />
to generate income online.</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span>My THEORY is that most peoples  (Including marketers)<br />
minds still haven&#8217;t caught up with the power of the<br />
internet.</p>
<p>Anyone who thinks about a &#8220;recession&#8221; mind hasn&#8217;t<br />
caught up with the power of the internet.</p>
<p>You think economic times can really stop you from making<br />
a measly $50k per month online? Honestly.</p>
<p>The only reason you can&#8217;t make $50k this month is<br />
because of your limited mindset (PERIOD).</p>
<p>Forums like this are good to find gems, but as I find the<br />
average marketer on here have severely limited minds. no offense.</p>
<p>I had a very limited mind to.  Hell at one point I just wanted to make<br />
$200 per day.</p>
<p>Now that I look back, it was me focusing on just $200 per day<br />
that made me struggle to make that.</p>
<p>In my mind I was programmed to think you have to struggle<br />
online before you made it big.  Going from $2k &#8211; $5k- $10k &#8211; etc&#8230; per<br />
month.</p>
<p>But the truth is you can go from $2k this month, to $20k the next month<br />
to $50k, to $100k per month the next.</p>
<p>Now that sounds crazy right?  Thats what I use to think.</p>
<p>But then once you really embody that you are only limited by your concepts of<br />
limitation..</p>
<p>So in essence what you&#8217;re doing is taking a limitless resource like THE INTERNET<br />
and putting a cap on it.  When you focus on just making $5k per month, and thats<br />
your goal, then you&#8217;re going to struggle and Journey to make $5k per month.</p>
<p>Me and my partner have been doing really extensive study into<br />
the mind/spirit and how it relates to building a business.</p>
<p>I guarantee you, that once you say set a real goal of making<br />
$50k this month.  A few things will happen. (It happens for everybody)</p>
<p>I personally like to ask the question, &#8220;How Can I Provide $100k worth of<br />
service and value.&#8221;</p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t really matter how you phrase it.</p>
<p>Anyways once that happens you will begin to get some great<br />
inspired ideas. And those ideas will generate at least $50k if<br />
implemented.</p>
<p>So the million dollar question is, why don&#8217;t you<br />
implement the ideas that pop into your head?</p>
<p>Well for most people its a combination of Self Esteem / Limited Thinking</p>
<p>You may get the idea to go offline and start targeting small businesses<br />
and helping them get online.</p>
<p>Now that will make your $50k this month.</p>
<p>Usually you&#8217;ll find that right after that thought is the objection<br />
thought.</p>
<p>&#8220;But I don&#8217;t know enough about Internet marketing to help a business&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not smart enough&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t generated enough income online yet&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t struggled enough and built myself from the ground up&#8221;</p>
<p>Or 1 million other things that stops you dead in your tracks.</p>
<p>Then after the objection thought, the excuse mechanism kicks<br />
in.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have enough resources to do that&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The owner probably wouldn&#8217;t talk to me anyone&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so busy I don&#8217;t have the time&#8221;.</p>
<p>Usually it goes like this</p>
<p>Great Idea &#8211; Objection &#8211; Excuse &#8211; Excuse &#8211; Excuse &#8211; New though/end of idea</p>
<p>Here is some reality for that ass&#8230;</p>
<p>If you were to keep asking yourself why, why not, and &#8220;Who said&#8221; after every<br />
objection and excuse you&#8217;ll find that executing that idea starts with<br />
taking the first small step.  Which leads into the next step, than the next.</p>
<p>It may just be picking up the phone.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve found the biggest battle in making $50k in a month (online/offline)<br />
really has nothing to do with generating traffic, building a list, or writing<br />
sales copy.</p>
<p>The biggest battle is breaking out of the limited mentality box that you<br />
see all over marketing/business forums, blogs, and other marketers.</p>
<p>Just because someone says you have to struggle for 6 months to<br />
get to $50k per month doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s true.</p>
<p>Most people limit themselves to the same terrible formula for making it<br />
&#8220;Big online&#8221;</p>
<p>Squeeze Page &#8211; Sales page &#8211; $27-$97 product.</p>
<p>Of course selling a $27 product it&#8217;s going to be hard to make $50k per month.</p>
<p>So ask yourself why the hell are you only selling a $27 product?</p>
<p>You should have at least at $1k consulting program in whatever niche<br />
you&#8217;re in.</p>
<p>In fact I would even say $5k.  Again I find the problem isn&#8217;t that you can&#8217;t<br />
find people that will gladly pay $5k for your services.</p>
<p>The problem is you don&#8217;t believe your services are worth $5k.</p>
<p>But you have to realize you don&#8217;t set the worth on your services.<br />
You estimate it, and the customer has the final say.</p>
<p>(As a tip always under-estimate the value of your service)</p>
<p>Get out of the small limited box most struggling marketers are closed into.</p>
<p>Writing Articles<br />
Submitting Blog Posts<br />
Posting on Forums<br />
Selling $47 ebooks</p>
<p>None of those things are going to get you to $50k this month.  And personally<br />
it takes to much energy.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll give you an example.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m in the music production niche&#8217;&#8230;  When I started I just had an<br />
ebook for sale.  Then it graduated into an audio an ebook course.</p>
<p>Then it graduated to an ebook/Audio/Video course.</p>
<p>But at the end of the day I still could only charge $67-$97 bucks.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d have to sell alot of courses every month to make $100k per month.</p>
<p>Now Multi-platinum producers COME TO ME, to help them.</p>
<p>How much more can I charge a  famouse multi-platinum producer<br />
than someone sitting on the couch with the 9-5?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where my revelation came.  I could have started off<br />
going after multi-platinum producers in the from day one.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m teaching them I could have taught them when<br />
I first started.</p>
<p>But my limited mindset told me that I had to do it the way<br />
everybody else on forums etc&#8230; tell me to do it.</p>
<p>Now I realize that the resource we call the internet is<br />
INFINITE and you don&#8217;t have to limit &#8220;Internet Marketing&#8221;<br />
to ebooks, squeeze pages, and blogs.</p>
<p>So if you want to make $50k this month, start by writing<br />
it down, and when that great idea pops into your head,<br />
just tackle it without delay.</p>
<p>Think outside of the box.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goal setting is one of the most important techniques of a successful businessman. If you have an online or offline business (or just a little website), you always have to ask one question from yourself:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;What can I do to improve my business?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>While answering this question, try to define exact steps, <strong>exact goals</strong>, and not just some general sagacity like <em>&#8220;I want to have more traffic&#8221;</em>. If you&#8217;ve already have realistic goals, write them down and put them in front of yourself, next to your computer. I know it seems like it wouldn&#8217;t make any sense, but writing down your goals helps you a LOT. After you&#8217;re done, just select the most important one(s) and focus ONLY on it!</p>
<p>Whatever you do for your business, you always have to do it to bring your goal closer to yourself. If you don&#8217;t write it down, and don&#8217;t see it every time you are working, it will be much harder to concentrate only on it, because you probably have to keep 1000 other things in your mind.</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve achieved your goal, just look at the next one, and follow the same method as I described above.  Believe me, if you&#8217;re acting this way, your business will improve a LOT faster than without this simple method.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You finally realize that you need a good opt-in list. After reading countless articles and sought expert advices and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advices to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.</p>
<p>In fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.</p>
<p>So what could have gone wrong?
<p><span id="more-38"></span> Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list doesn’t mean they are going to buy instantly.</p>
<p>Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.</p>
<p>1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.</p>
<p>Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you&#8217;re business is all about.</p>
<p>The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.</p>
<p>2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.</p>
<p>While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.</p>
<p>3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.</p>
<p>Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.</p>
<p>Building a profitable opt-in list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are on the opinion, that people, who are earning serious cash online, do have some extra talent or extra skill, I have to disagree with you. To get a little motivation, read this story carefully:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.my-fast-return.com/image/obj36geo95pg1p33.jpg" align="left" width="177" height="217" hspace="10" />&#8220;I am writing this message to all the rookies like me! Well, now that I think about it, you are probably not like me. I am a 57-year-old grandmother who lives on a tiny farm in the middle of a cow field in Central Washington.</p>
<p>Anyway, last December I was financially desperate. I won&#8217;t tell you my whole sob story, but the bottom line is that I was out of money and still had $1000s of bills to pay each month!</p>
<p>So I had to reinvent myself. I had been in real estate investing and when the bottom dropped out of the market, it took all my financial resources with it.</p>
<p>I started reading Your Portable Empire by Pat O&#8217;Bryan and that&#8217;s when I decided to try Internet Marketing.</p>
<p>So I bought a couple eBooks that taught me what to do . . . and I started. I followed the writers&#8217; advice to the letter. One of the eBooks was about writing eBooks and the other was about getting traffic to your site.</p>
<p>Here is my encouragement to you! I had never done this before! I was a writer and I had a laptop, but that&#8217;s about as much as I could bring to the table. On top of it, I had very little money! So I had to make things happen with a minimal investment!</p>
<p>I ended up spending less than $100, wrote and started selling two eBooks of my own . . . and within just over 5 weeks, I made more than $12,000. What I’ve since learned is that this is even more amazing since the two eBooks I wrote and I sold were both priced at under $10 each.</p>
<p>Here is what I did:</p>
<p>1. I found a niche<br />
2. I built a free WordPress blog<br />
3. I created a Squidoo page and pointed it to my blog.<br />
4. I wrote about the subject and created about 10 posts. I kept adding more and more content throughout the process.<br />
5. I wrote my first eBook and priced it at a very low and affordable price.<br />
6. I contacted about 10 other site owners who wrote about the same subject and asked them to link to my site. Two of them agreed.<br />
7. I wrote another eBook and priced it under $10.<br />
8. I kept adding more and more content and I answered emails and comments from readers ASAP.<br />
9. Within in a few weeks, I was on page 1 of Google<br />
10. I had to Mickey Mouse the sales pages because the free WordPress sites don’t allow e-commerce. I used a service at first, but later switched to another site I built.<br />
11. I stayed focused and from the time the sales started coming in pretty well . . . to five weeks later – I made more than $12,000!</p>
<p>So now that I’ve had this first experience, I am totally convinced that focused work and determination can create an income through Internet Marketing. Truly, I just wrote about a subject close to my heart. I sold to common men and women who were looking for information – not internet information, but information to help them in their lives.</p>
<p>I tried to be honest, respectful and give excellent customer service to everyone who contacted me. Now I am working on ways to sell more products to my more than 1400 buyers!</p>
<p>There is still a lot I don’t know. I love this forum and especially value it for all the advice and tips people share. I’m excited about the future and encourage each of you reading this post to stay focused, spend your money wisely on good quality tools, and BEGIN!</p>
<p>If a grandma living in the middle of a cow field in Central Washington can make $12,000 in just over 5 weeks on her first Internet Marketing offer, then anybody can who is willing to follow the same or similar steps for success! I know that to be true!</p>
<p>Be blessed as you work to reach your goals!&#8221;</p>
<p>I hope you see now, that making your first dollars online can be easily, just stick to what you want to do!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you think you have a great idea? Have friends or relatives ever told you that you should write a book because you have a unique take on things? Are you an expert in a field or do you know how to solve problems?</p>
<p>If you answered yes to any of these questions you should be able to have a successful product launch with an infoproduct you created. First you have to define what will be included in your infoproduct, so writing an outline will be an easy way to accomplish this. Once the outline is done you have to think of how you are going to sell your infoproduct. Creating a website is one way, but you have to be able to drive traffic to your website so that you can get sales.</p>
<p>Many infoproduct creators use the marketing strategy of giving away a free chapter of the info book. The idea is that readers will be so intrigued by your information that they will want to read more, and then they have to pay to read the rest. Offering a money back satisfaction guarantee is another way to encourage users to click the buy button.</p>
<p>The way that most people are successful with making money on their infoproducts is by associating with affiliate marketers. You can set it up to pay the marketers for each person that they send to your website, also know as pay per click. You can also set it up so the marketers get a percentage of each sale that they refer to your website.</p>
<p>You’ll want to create a buzz to your launch date and you can do this through email marketing campaigns. Make sure that you include content on your website that is keyword rich. The keywords will raw in the people and the content that you provide will explain what your infoproduct is about. Ask people to sign up for a free newsletter and then send out tips once a day or once a week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you asked me one of the biggest reasons why many people take so long to achieve their success with Internet marketing I would definitely have to say it comes down to a lack of action. Many people spend so much time learning and learning and yet never get around to actually applying any of the knowledge that they have learned. This is possibly because there are so many products out there that seem to position themselves as a magic pill and that just by buying them many beginners think that they will automatically start raking in the big bucks that they see on the sales page they bought from. Sadly, this is not the case and no-one is going to make any money for you but yourself and your own hard work and diligence.</p>
<p>In order to prevent yourself from turning yourself into an information junkie you will want to have some discipline and make sure you get the fundamentals of making money online mastered before looking into any new scheme which claims it is going to turn you into an overnight millionaire. Sorry to break the news but it ain&#8217;t going to happen. However, if you master the fundamentals that are necessary to be successful online then there is no doubt whatsoever that in the long run you will build successful businesses online.</p>
<p>The skills which you should learn before trying anything else are the following:</p>
<p>1. How To Put Up A Website</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t do this you aren&#8217;t going to get very far no matter what anyone may tell you. There are many good HTML tutorials online which can be accessed for free and there is also some nice free software like NVU which you can use to get some experience with. If you have some money then investing in XSite Pro is a very good decision and can have you churning out quality websites very quickly.</p>
<p>2. Learn How To Write Sales Copy</p>
<p>This is crucial since if you can&#8217;t write Adverts that convert then you are truly wasting your time driving traffic. There are some good books you can buy cheaply to get you started such as Dan Kennedy&#8217;s &#8220;The Ultimate Sales letter&#8221; and you can also get some good advice in the Copwriting section of The Warrior Forum.</p>
<p>3. Learn How To Drive Traffic Using Proven Methods</p>
<p>Start to submit articles, learn the fundamentals of PPC and post informative useful posts on forums related to the topic of your site.</p>
<p>It is best to learn these one by one and build up over time rather than rushing in and getting overwhelmed.</p>
<p>When you have mastered these 3 skills you will put yourself in an excellent position to move onto success in Internet Marketing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The process of creating your own products to sell is a lot easier than many people would have you believe. There are many ways that you can go about doing this and with just a little bit of creativity and a spot of hard work you can have a good quality product out in the market making regular sales for you in no time at all.</p>
<p>In writing this article I am presuming that you already have targeted a niche and verified that there are people that out there who are buying products in this niche. If you haven&#8217;t done this then go back and do your homework! So without further ado here are some really easy and fast ways of creating quality products fast.</p>
<p>Product Creation Method No.1 &#8211; Do An Interview With An Expert</p>
<p>The best way to approach this product creation method is to contact an expert in your field of expertise and do an interview with him. Record this interview and have it converted into an MP3 using some free software such as Audacity. Then take the MP3 that you created with the expert in your field and have it transcribed by the great folks at Castingwords.com and then when it comes back turn it into a PDF by using OpenOffice software. Then you have a MP3 and transcript ready to be sold. Easy, huh?</p>
<p>Production Creation Method No.2 &#8211; Write An Informative Short Report</p>
<p>Find a problem that is cropping up frequently in people&#8217;s lives and do some research on some of the best available solutions. Write up a short report on this of about 7-15 pages and sell it at a price point of roughly $7.00. Do some forum posts (Don&#8217;t Spam) on the topic and then you should be able to make some nice sales quite quickly.</p>
<p>Product Creation Method No.3 &#8211; Create A Short Video Series</p>
<p>Following pretty much the same method as in Method No.2 only this time take your expertise and put it into a set of videos. An easy way to do this is to use CamstudioPro which is an excellent piece of software that only costs $29.95. It is easy to use and you can finish videos by automatically following on to affiliate links for extra profits. The great thing about this is that you can charge more for videos than you can for other formats.</p>
<p>Well there you have it! 3 easy ways to create profitable products easily and quickly. Get to work!</p>
