Can you make money online? – Yes, but the Internet is just a Tool, not a Business!
So Can You Make Money Online, really?
Absolutely, if you remember the basics and don’t fall into the trap of thinking the money is going to fall into your lap at the push of a button !
Internet Pushbutton myth:
You may know of a few people like this and perhaps you’ve even been misled about this yourself at one time:
They think that having an Internet connection, a pretty website and traffic are the answer.
Now granted, traffic is key and without eyes on your offer, you have no business potential..
BUT having traffic does not build the business itself….
This is why so many fail to attain a positive response to the question Can you make money online?
They get so caught up in the technology & quite simply forget that business is about….
people and relationships!
Business = Relationships
So here’s the honest truth,if you want to make money online, you have to figure out what people need, then go out and meet that need, as with any other business offline.
At some point, with a great offer and traffic to your offer you are going to have to build a relationship of sorts to build
1) Trust
2) Interest in doing business with you
People like to buy and money will come to you like iron filings to a magnet but only when people feel happy about choosing YOU over anyone else/your competitors.
So making money online is straightforward when you keep these basics in mind!
You still need to pick up the phone
At some point you are most likely going to have to get on the phone and make a one on one connection, at least if you would like to build a relationship fast that is going to be likely to trigger high-ticket sales and ongoing sales.
Don’t get me wrong, the Internet is a powerrrrfull medium given its massive expansion and increased applications and it’s only 15 years young! Can you make money online as easily today as in the past? Absolutely, in fact, we’re only really just now getting started..
But see the Internet as the turbo not the car..
as the soap, not the water…
you get the idea!
Build a real business based on a mutual value exchange – aim to deliver more than most and you will stand out and be seen in your customers’ eyes as THE solution to their problems and needs.
Aim for longterm relationships FIRST, not the sale
Find a business and more importantly someone you can trust and who is going to be there for you with the right guidance that removes all your confusion about what you need to do next & map out a clear path to the income that you so badly need.
So can you make money online? Yes, but follow the basics, build a business based on sound principles, then…
use the Internet as a tool for leverage that is going to continue to market for you even while you sleep and enable you to reach thousands of targeted prospects and customers in a fraction of the time!

Facebook advertising strategies – Remember the 3 Golden Rules?
Facebook advertising strategies – Remember the 3 Golden Rules?
Content
How’s Facebook going for you?
Is the #1 Social media site as addictive for you as it is for so many (I’m a recovering Facebook-aholic myself)?
The numbers don’t lie: with Facebook having recently eclipsed Google in terms of its daily traffic, there’s no question that this once small networking site (initially only used by Harvard students alone) has taken the Internet world by surprise,
and even helped shape relationships around the world, redefining the way people interact with one another!
In fact, the unspoken question for some is why pick up the phone when you can direct message in real time while sharing photos and links, for example, on Facebook ?
Have you also reconnected with old friends via Facebook and rekindled relationships that you had once given up on due to time constraints or perhaps a house move?
How much time do you spend on Facebook yourself? (If you really are addicted, read this post on having fun but finding balance for the sake of your business)
Did you know statistics reveal that people spend a staggering 45 minutes on Facebook on average on any given day connecting with their beloved friends? …And happily share an incredible amount of personal information with their Facebook friends (and indeed the world)!
So are you taking advantage of Facebook’s incredibly targeted advertising platform ?
Yep, those personal data make Facebook an advertiser’s dream..!
…Just compare a TV commerical shown at 9m (limited in its targeting) with the
detailed targeting that Facebook provides on its advertising platform which in addition to age ranges includes so many more
parameters for zero-ing in your chosen target audience such as specific likes and interests!
************************************************
Remember to follow the 3 Golden Rules when advertising on Facebook:
1) Don’t Use Facebook for Direct Sales
-not saying don’t sell anything, just remember that when advertising on Facebook, you are targeting people not wallets directly.
It’s about building a relationship first and selling second.
First court your customers by asking them to click on a targeted ad, but then direct them to another page within Facebook, respecting
the fact that they probably want to remain on Facebook.
Provide your new prospect with something of value in exchange for asking them to ‘Like’ your ‘Fan page’ and then provide more and more value.
People buy from people they know, like, and trust, so when used correctly, Facebook is a powerful sales platform…. but over time.
2) Target smaller groups of people using the targeting parameters Facebook generously provides:
Location, Age, Birthday, Sex, Keywords, Education, Workplaces, Relationship, Interested In, Languages, Connections
Casting a narrower net and then courting groups who are likely to relate to one another effectively makes for great social buzz.
If you’re running a paid advertising campaign and bringing groups of people to your fan page who have at least several of the above in common, they
are going to interact with you and with each other very well, providing social proof to anyone else who joins the group. This validates their decision to join
and creates more loyalty and in turns a happier crowd….
and more sales for you or your business 
3) Grasp Your market’s Needs and Listen and learn
Your Facebook Fan page (your company page) and all the interaction that takes place there between yourself/company and your fans or potential customers provides a
UNIQUE opportunity for you to learn about your customers’ exact needs and wants. This is the equivalent of being able to have a large group of customers entering a store
sit down, drink coffee and chat about their needs (and your products).
This is pure gold to your advertising effectiveness and something you absolutely need to grasp in shaping and reshaping your offer to more closely match
your customers’ needs.
Naturally, a unique feature of Facebook is your ability to create a Fan page and create interaction between your customers AND build a list of customers who opt in in exchange for
your offer to them for something that they need.
After learning about your customers’ needs, reposition and carefully craft your email followup with each customer in a way that positions you as the only solution to their
needs and even burning desires !
Remember:
relationships + trust = loyalty & repeat sales
and a win–win for you and your Facebook customers!

Online marketing strategy: Get Personal in 2011
If you Like it, RETWEET HERE============>>>>
Hellooooooo! Can anyone hear me out there? [background music: a deafening
cacophony of noise is making it hard to hear your own voice]
…HELLO—-OH….!
What a racket! The media frenzy I mean. Did someone say that this was the Information Age?
Yep, you bet, did you notice how much stuff is thrown at us these days?
-We are flat out BOMBARDED on a daily basis by SO much information, and if we’re like most people, you and I typically hit information overload by around lunchtime already if we’re truly plugged into all the info thrown at us on a daily basis…
as you know, most people indulge in morning radio, breakfast TV, music & news on the subway or blurb on billboards beside the highway, messages on their smartphone and, if they’re lucky, they steal 5 minutes to have a quiet read of the newspaper at home or in the local cafe or office canteen.
What a din! Am I the only one having moments where I just want to tune it out and want a bit of peace and quiet from it all?
Seriously, how can we possibly catch, let alone swallow, ALL the nuggets of information thrown our way?
You too? I thought so….Nope, funnily enough, everyone has a limit to how much information they can hold and selective we MUST be…
Well guess what, as Bill Gates cleverly predicted, CONTENT IS KING but…. sometimes content is simply NOT quite enough to make me sit up and listen
The Internet is EXPLODING with growth and the numbers of users pouring in in droves, with the emerging economies including China and India, which between the two of them represent a sizable chunk of the global population, joining the hoards of avid Internet users in the Western world.
So as an Internet marketer, how can you possibly compete and be heard?
Hellooo-oohhhh!!!
What should your online marketing strategy be in 2011?
Two words…
Get Personal !!!
In short, those who recognize the power NOW of building a personal relationship and going above and beyond
the efforts of competitors are going to prosper in 2011 and beyond, PERIOD!
For instance, jump onboard with the powerful trend of social media including Twitter, MySpace & Facebook etc to engage and build a relationship with
existing and potential customers and
Rise above the noise and BE HEARD
CONTENT IS KING
But
Consider ways to GET PERSONAL – people are busy and information-overloaded Just Like Us and are tuning out/turning down the volume
SO remember, if you want to…
…Be heard and build a successful business in 2011 and beyond, You MUST show you CARE..
and demonstrate that you’re going to be there for them FOR THE LONG HAUL, not the quick sale…
Try FRIEND-ing your prospects AND going from OFFLINE to ONLINE by encouraging your potential customers and prospects to
join you on Facebook (give them an incentive to do so)
Go ONLINE to OFFLINE by offering them something in return for collecting their telephone number (respecting their privacy of course)
Treat your potential customers as potential BUSINESS PARTNERS – and listen to THEIR needs by asking questions, listening carefully,
…Seek TRUST FIRST and the SALE SECOND
Bottom line is that all those who embrace an online marketing strategy that GETS PERSONAL in 2011 and beyond will rise to the TOP and have
fun doing so
Make it your best year and in the words of my good business partner and coach:
May the Best of your 2010 be your worst of 2011 !

How to Find Focus & Vision in Your Online business in 2011

Are you focused? I mean REALLY focused…?
If you’re struggling with your online marketing business, do you realize that this lack of
focus could be your biggest stumbling block ?
You know, this year more than ever I’ve been a student of success and found it incredibly rewarding to find that success
really does come in so many shapes and forms.
You know, very different people of different ages and backgrounds are successful in any industry but
nowhere outside the industry of online marketing that I know of is there such an incredibly wide variety of people
laughing all the way to the bank!
Nowhere else have I found ordinary people creating such mind-blowing results … Continue reading
Network Marketing Mindset – How to Develop a Mindset for Success
Success will follow when your dreams are bigger than the obstacles you face – that’s the network marketing mindset you need to succeed.
Who loves a good underdog story? I know I do when there’s a lesson to be learned about how an underdog overcomes adversity to achieve a life-changing outcome.
Well just this last week I heard a powerful story about a couple from Mexico who now run a multimillion dollar business here in Canada. This couple arrived in Canada with next to NO money to begin any kind of business, let alone the thriving fashion business which they now have on one of the most prominent streets in Toronto!
When they first arrived the wife turned to her husband and said “Some day I am GOING to have my own store right on this street”. He didn’t want to crush her dreams and did what any good spouse would do:
He supported her in everything she did and worked hard until one fine day they opened up shop. They made it happen when so many other businesses failed around them even though they started with less than 99% of those other business owners.
This is a true story of vision and pursuing your passion in life until you succeed, and developing the mindset that it takes to turn what seems like a crazy dream into a reality!
I’ve heard it said by many leaders in the world of network marketing that success exists mostly between your ears and self-talk will rule your destiny and determine whether you succeed or fail.
How true this is! Most success stories I have heard began with someone who was in a real fix and at a low point in their life. They were shocked into taking a hard look at themselves, and responded in a way that top achievers do: they made a decision that they were going to succeed no matter what!
There are two steps to attaining a network marketing mindset to make your own dreams come true:
1) Understand that the kind of mindset we need to develop has 2 aspects to it :
a) how we view network marketing and b) how we view ourselves and our own ability to succeed.
2) Develop a powerful mindset for success so that you keep trying until you succeed.
You need to consistently work on yourself until you have enough self-mastery to Continue reading

Internet marketing success coach Mentors Harry Potter
As an Internet marketing success coach, I was just yesterday reminded of something that few hardworking Internet
Marketers understand until it’s too late and they’re already out of funds,
frustrated and wondering why they wasted the last few months chasing a dream!
They quit before waking up to this truth when they are literally INCHES from the finish line.…
It’s sad but true…
They’re left scratching their heads and justify their decision to QUIT by saying
something like “there’s too much competition” (Er, NO! – Millions are coming online
every month looking for what we have to offer as home business owners in a tough economy)…
or “the compensation plan is terrible” (You mean there WAS no compensation because
there were no (or very few) sales coming in!)
or “I’m just not cut out for this Internet marketing thing” (Well, maybe you are, keep reading)
or “I didn’t have enough support to finally break through and was constantly wasting time on things I didn’t understand.
So I bought a course to help me, but then found a new problem, so I bought another, then another….” (Expensive! Did you consider a
business plan?)
Well, YES! Absolutely, I agree with that last one! No support? Now THAT is
an all-too-common problem.
How critical is it to have support..?!
DO YOU KNOW how many people spend months dazed and confused trying to wrap their head around
all the ins and outs of Internet marketing TECHNICALS and never actually have enough time for
the MARKETING itself?
How many people give up on themselves thinking they’re not cut out to be Internet marketers
but fail to realize that they are not actually Marketing enough to get the exposure that brings results?
SO what does this have to do with having an Internet marketing success coach?
Remember I said earlier that “I was just yesterday reminded of something that few people understand..”
Well, there we all were as a family sitting around the dinner table and I was asking my kids what evil or cute characters they were going
to dress up as for Halloween this year.
My eldest daughter Victoria said “A Reese’s Pieces,” to which I replied “Since when is Halloween
all about chocolate?” (ask a silly question !!!)
Anyway, she then quickly changed her mind for the tenth time this month
to “Bellatrix” (you know, from Harry Potter, one of “he-who-shall-not-be-named”’s henchwomen(?), the evil witch-like character played by Helena Bonham Carter:
Lightbulb!!! Remember how Harry feels all alone and afraid facing the dark forces, particularly
when naughty Bellatrix snuffs out his fatherly friend Sirius Black…
His task seems impossible…
“Hold it Rich, you’re surely not comparing the wonderful world of the Internet to the slightly scary world of Harry Potter are you?”
~~No, not for a second,
but let’s face it, as a newbie Internet marketer, you are tackling a huge problem, and one that most
regular business owners never have to face!!!
That is, you must be a wearer of SO many hats, you’re a technician, a business person, a content creator, AND, if you get time, a MARKETER too.
You see, most people just don’t understand the MOUNTAIN it is that they are trying to climb on their own as Internet marketers and don’t realize how much frustration they could avoid, not to mention the TIME saved if they simply partnered up with an Internet marketing success coach! ….
Harry was an underdog too and the ODDS OF SUCCESS were slim to none.
But he found a good mentor in the good wizard Dumbledore that allowed him to find the strength and ability that already lay within him!
You and I both know that success is ALL about YOU because systems work, it’s PEOPLE that fail.
And let’s face it, you don’t have time to play around, you need a thriving business and you’re probably doing much better than you think you are and are closer to earning a full-time income from home and setting yourself free!
In addition to finding the right opportunity with a powerful business model (that to my surprise it turns out SO MANY top earners are involved with), you
need someone who:
1) cares about your success
2) is already where you want to be, and
3) is committed to making time to understand your needs, wants, strengths and weaknesses
Right?
But I know you must already know from past experiences, where different people have helped you out with sports, learning, or training of any kind, that you can save time and money by following someone to where you want to go.
So When You are READY to dream big enough and create a MASSIVE change in your life
and take your family with you,
and ready to see if you and I are a good fit for one another,
I’ll be here waiting to listen and help you in any way I can as your Internet marketing success coach.
I strongly suspect it will dramatically shorten your learning curve & I hope also change your life for the better!!
