Once you are done, i’ll like to share with you the last part of the series on how to run your online venture like a real business, keeping in mind on keeping good records, a journal of your achievements and failures and lastly – bringing in the action!

5. Keep Good Records Of Your Investment And Profits

Every business has their own records of investment and profits – this is to keep you in track that you are spending wisely and every penny that you have spent has the potential of converting into a profit.

In the long run, this will help to ensure that you are running a business that’s profitable in the long run.

Example of Keeping Track Of Your Investment:

• $xx/month for 5GB of web hosting but site is down every other day – time to speak to representative / to switch to other web hosts. This can be a bad investment.
• $yy/month for email marketing autoresponder services – good tracking services, high deliverability of emails and resulted in good conversion and profits (more than what you have invested). This is a good investment.
• $zz/month for outsourcing services – the virtual assistants are responsible and produced good quality works. High subscribers’ rate or high sale conversions. This is another good investment.

At the end of the month, you do up your sums and if you are running in the blues (profit-making), you can continue to the next month or if you feel that you can have higher profits, you can look into each different area and do some tweaking. Remember not to exchange quality for rates!

6. Keep A Journal Of Your Achievements And Failures

How To Run Your Online *Fill-In-The-Blank* Like A Real Business – Part 1 of 2

Note: To read the headline properly, the “fill-in-the-blank” can be area of your expertise like Home-Based Business, Affiliate Marketing (very lucrative), CPA Marketing (very common) or simply Online Marketing (e.g creation of your own product and selling it)

I have been reading up quite a number of books these few days on online entrepreneurship and in a few of the reads, the authors share the common system or beliefs on how to run your marketing like a real business (like those of big companies like Amazon or even Microsoft) and I have decided to sum them up in this post (in a 2 part series) and you can use them as your general guideline or process:

In this First Part, I will be sharing on the Mindset, and the Planning Strategies you can take on:

1. The Mindset

There’s been statistics being done and it’s found that more than 95% of people who are doing some sort of marketing or in a business have the mindset of “wishing” to succeed.

In other words, majority are not serious in what they are doing. It’s more of a hit-and-run in achieving results. It’s only when there’s many of those random successes that will convert a percentage of these people into those with the mindset of “must” succeed.

So what can you do today to make a small change?

• Be 100% focused in whatever you are doing – you can be doing many things at a time, but as long as you are committed and you are focused enough to do through it – you will make it there!
• Make it a Priority in your life. A general reference for the guys on how to make priority a possibility – it’s the same when you are determined and are persisted enough to trying to chase your dream girl. For the ladies – it’s the same when you want that branded bag and you can go on diet, scrimp and save just to get it. If you can have the same spirit for in your area of marketing – you will be amazed of the results!

Once you have the Mindset right, you are thinking like an Online Entrepreneur and are ready to move on to the Planning Stage:

2. Decide On The Marketing Strategies You Will Use

Guess I Will Not Be Using TweetGlide For Now… Sorry, Mike Filsaime!

Mike Filsaime has just launched his Twitter App (congratulations and it’s called TweetGlide) and many other internet marketers are already out promoting it – for two reasons:

1. You can make money out from promoting this tool
2. You can earn credits to have your advertisement displayed in other users’ TweetGlide.

I have downloaded this tool and have got it running for an hour or so. But after that I have decided to stop using it.

Why So? These are my personal views (but to those who are not facing the similar issues, guess it’s just me…)

My Three Reasons For Not Using TweetGlide For Now…

1. The first installation hanged my computer system. After I have installed, my system hanged (and my computer is not that old as yet) and I have to kill the application in order to regain the use of my system. Is it really my system? I tried Tweetdeck and it worked well for me!

2. There is a new requirement for you to get paid and this is to join PayPeopleOnline, in which this service will allow TweetGlide to keep proper tax records. Sounds good and rightful. I have joined and filled in all my particulars. But when it comes to verification of my account – the site failed to acknowledge the verification link and asked me to re-do the application. Which I did… And it failed… First agony! So I will make do without the “make money with TweetGlide“

Autoresponder Emailing At Its Best When You Have Affiliate Bully

One of the latest product (launched in September) that caught my eye and got me printing everything out and ignoring my day of work was Andre Chaperon’s Affiliate Bully Autoresponder Madness (currently closed for purchase but do join the mailing list)

Why You Need To Know Email Marketing And Why Using Autoresponder Is So Powerful?

1. With Email Marketing, you get to connect with your Prospect/Visitors on a level that can’t be achieved from a one-hit review, presell or sales page. For example, if you are my first-time reader but you decide not to subscribe to my RSS feed, I can only attract your attention when you do a search and happen to hit my site again. With Email Marketing, I am able to communicate with you through emails (which I believe you check more than you surf for sites) on what’s happening in my site.
2. Autoresponder is one of the powerful marketing tools ever created because it allow you to deliver content through emails over time on autopilot and it will work for you day and night – making you money even if you decide not to doing anything (but do the hard bit first of setting up)
3. Combining the concept of Email Marketing, the deliverability of Autoresponder and the Promotion of an Affiliate Product – you can create many of so-called “money-making factories” as you want. This is what we called multiple streams of income!

Why Am I Engrossed With This Product?

This is one of the product that speaks volume and the content is gold!

The Problem…

I have been ignoring using Autoresponder since I started my online marketing adventure because I do not know how to craft up follow-ups (what to type inside and how the flow should be like). But this product gave me the answer. Totally perfect!

And this product also give you a head start in creating your Autoresponder Campaigns -

Bloggers, Are You Checking On Your RSS Feeds?

As today’s online marketers and bloggers, there’s seemed to be many tasks to manage like maintaining relationships on your subscribers list, making sure their sites are not down, or to make sure that their split-tests are working to their advantage… These are just some of the many daily task required!

But one thing that I am noticing (after I have set up GuruRSS) is that many bloggers are not maintaining their RSS feeds well, especially those feeds that are redirected to external services like e.g. FeedBurner and FeedBlitz.

What Are RSS Feeds And FeedBurner?

Based on Wikipedia, RSS is most commonly known as “Really Simple Syndication” but sometimes “Rich Site Summary” and is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works - such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. Click here to read up more on RSS.

And FeedBurner, also known as a form of RSS Reader and is one of Google’s free services that many internet marketers are currently using to direct their RSS feeds to. Another common service is FeedBlitz.

So Why Is It Important To Check On Your RSS Feeds?

How To Create Successful Landing Pages that Sells

This is a guest post by Gagandeep Singh from Landing Page Optimization – the complete source on landing page design, optimization and testing. To have your voice here, click here to contact me or be a contributor to my free article directory – articlejuicy

Landing page is the first page of your website which visitor sees after clicking on a search engine result, online ad or promotional email. The success and failure of an online campaign depends completely on your landing page. Hence, you need a successful landing page that sells well to make your online campaign profitable. In this post, I am going to share some tips which you should follow to make your landing page successful.

Relevance: – Your Landing page should be completely relevant to your advertisement. Be sure to use the similar titles and keywords in your landing page as you have used in your online ads. For e.g.:- If you are offering free 30-day trial for a software in your Advertisement then your landing page should not ask them to pay for downloading software.

Originality: – The content of your Landing page should be completely original. In case, you are an affiliate and trying to sell product of another company then don’t copy the exact content from the parent website. Google Adwords never show two ads directing people to pages with similar content or identical pages.

Customized Landing pages: – Your Landing pages should focus on one offer at time. If you are running multiple offers at same time then you should create separate landing pages for each offer. The landing pages with different offers distract user mind and don’t convert well.

Which Kind Of Marketing Tool Is Better For You – Free Or To Pay?

August and September have been a very busy month for Online Marketers as one by one release their marketing tools that is supposed to shake the internet marketing scene and help you and me to “really” start making money online!

And most of these releases are being captured at my Review Blog – Dexter Recommends This (it’s new!)

What caught my attention with the release of a product and with this posting is Brad Callen’s Keyword Elite 2 and the many debates around it!

Debate: Free Marketing Tool Is Better – So Why Pay For Brad Callen’s Keyword Elite 2?

So how did this debate come about? Brad Callen’s new release is supposed to reduce keyword research time and also to help you monetize around the keywords, therefore giving you more time in your marketing efforts. A very good marketing tool indeed even for the newbie.

Then there’s the other group who feel that investing that kind of money into Brad Callen’s is a complete waste of money as there are already many few keyword research tools that are totally free and good enough for this purpose. So their remarks are to save it and concentrate on those free ones!

My Personal View…
