Start-up Online Business...Things you should know part 1.
In this series of blogs I will give you information essential to your business and not spoken about by the guru’s. The reason for this is that gurus don’t divulge this information and if they do they charge big money for it.
You may or may not have heard the term “branding”! Branding of course in not a secret but we need to start at the basics. If you have purchased an online business that comes with a generic web page, you will need to strongly weigh up its value. If you are doing this part-time to gain a few extra dollars that’s fine, but if you are a serious entrepreneur you will need to get your own website. This is the beginning of your branding. In the years to come your name, company name, and websites, should be well known among fellow marketers as this is where you will find a lot of your business. People buy from people they know or have heard about. Your credibility in the industry is an important part of your business. The other reason for having your own site is you are able to put into place, actions, that will draw some “Google love”. In other words you’re ranking. The more ranking you receive, the more traffic to your website and therefore the more sales you make. If you were to use a generic site only, it is the company involved, not you, who receives the Google ranking. I will speak more about sites in a moment. The very first thing you must do is get a domain name for your business. If you have purchased several online businesses or intend too, you will need a name that encompasses all businesses. Hopefully if you pick complimentary businesses your websites can feed off each other for more ranking. The sites I recommend for Domains is http://www.godaddy.com/domains/search.aspx?ci=8969 and secondly http://www.securepaynet.net/domains/search.aspx?ci=1774&prog_id=domains My first big tip here is to first (if possible), find an aged Domain. What I mean by this is someone may have failed in their business or simply forgotten to renew their listing. You can capture very valuable ranking by finding businesses that are already receiving a reasonable ranking and claiming it as your own. The site to go to find these aged Domains is: http://www.aged-domain-finder.com/index.php Some of these aged domains can be years old and therefore expensive to purchase. However you can nominate a price you are willing to pay and do a search on likely keywords (words people use in their Google searches to find you). So now that you have your Domain name, let’s get back to your website. As far as free sites go I would use http://sites.google.com/ . This is the beginning of designing your own webpage. You may need help with it, but if you’re savvy it is an easy enough process. Remember this is a free site with no hosting fees, so preserver, it will be worth it. You will need to get a Gmail account set up first (i.e. Google email). I recommend also signing up to http://www.peoplestring.com/?u=karencunneen this is a free site but has all your email accounts on the one page, as well as all the social sites for your marketing. You can also join as an affiliate and receive advertising dollars from the company. I am in this one myself. Also sign up for Google Apps as you will need to add a capture page (i.e. an information request form) to your web pages. Apps (i.e. applications) contains docs (document spread sheet). When your prospective clients fill in the information form it is sent to your doc’s spreadsheet so you can market to those people. This is put in the back office of your webpage and is the beginning of your list. Your list is simply email addresses that you send your marketing literature too. Also set up a Google Analytics account. This will show you the statistics of who has visited your site, search engine traffic etc. If you want more control of your site I would recommend http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml . They have several packages but they are a large, reliable, and inexpensive. I hope you have enjoyed Part 1. of this series of blogs. I look forward to seeing you soon. KAREN CUNNEEN

Online Business Self Evaluation Test
In my research to find the best online opportunities, I am approached by many people hoping for me to buy into their product or service. Despite the product they might be selling, I believe most are good, honest men and women, working to the best of their ability. It saddens me to see how many great people fail in this business and walk away feeling disillusioned and used. I am here to tell you, it is not entirely your fault! The cards were, and are, stacked against you. My guess is you are shown Video’s with girls in sports cars, the spreadsheets with 6 figure payouts and told that the Company will train you? Am I right! Then, when you go to the webinars you are told very basic information and repetitive old fashion marketing hype. Don’t worry! We are all guilty of hearing what we want too hear, in the heat of a fervent “sales pitch”. I also have fallen into this trap. There is a way however, to avoid the heartache and subjectively evaluate yourself for success. I call it the “Success Recipe!”
Using a holistic approach, I identify the qualities shared by the most successful people in the business. If you are wondering if an online business is for you, please under-go the core skills test and see if an online business is a “fit” for you!
DESIRE: You should know from the beginning that if you want to make a career into network marketing part-time, quit now! For most people it will take hundreds of hours to master the skills required. Do not be put off by this. When I started, I literally spent 6 months just educating myself before I earnt a dollar. I read every opportunity, studied and researched every article until I was confident with the nuts and bolts of the business. I find the most successful people in the industry have started when their backs were against the wall and they found there is no room for failure (they had to do it)! You might have recently become unemployed, or as in my case forced to be at home due to family reasons. Your desire and determination to succeed must be paramount! Also keep in mind, you must be passionate about your product or service and believe in it whole heartedly. If you invest in a business based purely on the compensation plan, your chances for survival are bleak!
NO FREE LUNCH: As previously mentioned, if you are the sort of person who knows how to Email, use “Word”, and little else, then you are in for a big learning curve. Hard work is needed for any new business and having an online business is no different. Do not be disheartened by this because with time and confidence in your skills, the hours will reduce. It is then that you can enjoy your new found freedom! Once you have had some success in what works and what doesn’t, you should set yourself a work schedule of things that are “must do’s” daily! The hardest thing to overcome in any home business is time wasting. Treat it like a regular job. Wake up at the same time, have a good breakfast and then attack your work schedule. Do not be distracted watching business presentations, shuffling paperwork, doing housework, or anything else, to avoid what needs to be done. Constant repetition of the “must do’s” on a daily basis, is what will make you a success.
WORK TO YOUR STRENGTHS: You may be thinking by now that I am sounding pretty negative. I hope not! My purpose is to give you a starting point. To clear away the misconceptions and to look at yourself subjectively. We all have innate gifts that we bring to the workplace. Knowing and using them to your advantage is what will set you apart from your competition. I will list the qualities most needed. You may be great at writing Articles, doing research or picking the right business fit. Use what your good at as 70% of the work ethic and practice on the other 20%. The skills you need are listed below. Look at yourself subjectively and recognise those strengths.
________________________________________________________________________
HERE IS YOUR TEST
Use what your good at as 70% of the work ethic and practice on the other 20%. The skills you need are listed below. Look at yourself subjectively and recognise those strengths.
Mark each attribute between 1-10. One being the least unlikely quality you posses. If you rate yourself 45 or more, than you certainly owe it to yourself to consider this life choice.
Analytic: The analytic person will want to weigh up every opportunity before making a decision. They are generally facts and figures people. They like research and will want to study and learn everything before moving forward.
People Person: People persons breathe life into any business. They are the ones that don’t avoid phoning “would be” associates. They tell everyone they meet that they have a genuine opportunity. They are usually members of groups and clubs. They care for people and are likely to take the time to train them for success.
Education: We all are natural Sales People. We sell ourselves and our ideas to friends and family every time we open our mouths. Some of us may even be educated with a marketing background. If you are currently a student then you will certainly know the latest marketing technologies including computer software. If you are a little older than you might have the basic marketing skills but lack the computer no-how! These skills can be learned. You definitely don’t have to be an internet prodigy to be successful.
The written Word: As an online business it is essential to be able to write copy. What I mean by this is that you are conversing with your audience initially by your written word. You have to capture people’s minds and hearts to first convince them you are someone worth listening to. Whether you are talking on Facebook, writing an Article (like this one), or chatting in a discussion forum. You are what you write. For people to listen to and follow you, you must convey you are a person of “Value”!
Persistent and Consistent: It is very desirable to be a determined person. Many great people have left this business because they didn’t give it one last push. They may be doing almost everything right, but the thing they are not doing has caused them to fail. As I mentioned earlier, you must have a routine work schedule that you do each day. If it is not getting you the results, then add something to it.
Mental Strength: I can guarantee you will have days of self doubt. We all get them and it is a part of life. What will win through is your determination to succeed. You must have the ability to brush yourself off and focus on what has to be done to achieve your goal. It may be setting yourself the task of phoning 20 people per day or trying a different approach. The greatest obstacle will come from an unlikely source. Your own family and friends! You could be made to feel useless or stupid for starting an online business. Traditionally we are all indoctrinated with a 9-5 mentality. Remind yourself and them of people like Bill Gates, and Thomas Edison. Where would they be if they listened to the doubters around them? Remember this is your journey, not theirs! Follow your dreams!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
SERVE OTHERS: Napoleon Hill was quoted as saying; when you help others to get what they want, then you will get what you want! In other words don’t forget your downline. It is very easy to get absorbed in your own business and forget those that have got you there. Your downline will need your help to become successful and they look to you as leader. Make time to answer people’s questions and concerns. When they possess the skills they in turn can help their downline. Your team will then follow you into other opportunities. Think of your business like a house to cards. If you fail to help and inspire your team and they drop out, your house of cards is bound to fall.
IDEA PERSON: The internet is the most powerful marketing tool in the world. You pay considerable sums each month for that resource and if you are only using it to collect your emails, you are literally throwing thousands of dollars away each year. Can you really afford to do that? There are countless programs you can purchase to help market your business, but successful marketing can boil to a simple idea that someone hasn’t thought of. As you experience what is available, you will gather your own idea’s. Don’t be afraid to go outside the box and be individual.
I hope I have been of some help to those considering this lifestyle. If I can help you further, please don’t hesitate to contact me through my website on http://sites.google.com/site/mymoneytreebusiness/

Express yourself with TVI Express!
I have been an online marketer for a long time. A few are good! Most are bad!
What they lack besides unfair compensation plans, shaky company foundations, and a short shelf life, is that the people who get involved are not passionate about what they are selling.
There has to be another element besides making money that inspires people to want to sell a product, service or enterprise.
I have found something everyone can get passionate about. The Company is called TVI Express. Basically, you pay $300us membership and this entitles you to a six day, seven night accommodation package. What is the catch? There isn't one! You can pay the once off membership and happily go on a holiday anywhere in the world, OR, you can think a little smarter and find a few other people who want to also either go on holiday or make a business of using their travel voucher to promote themselves. This allows you to receive large bonuses from TVI. Your payment on the express board is $15,000 and this is paid to you on a monthly, weekly or daily basis, depending on how productive you are. If you find 25 other people you get a BMW! Yep you heard it! If you found 100 people you get a "Villa" fully paid for! Not rented mind you! Paid for, cash, in your name!
If this sounds easy, how do you think the people you know will take it? What do you think they will want to do? It is that easy! In fact there is no selling at all, as the product sells itself.
If you want to know more please go to our teams website and view the videos: http://sites.google.com/site/jointviexpressbiz/home
