Amazing Longevity of Posts

10 years ago I was very active on Blogger at the time when blogging was the new kid on the block.

I am thinking of making an eBook of some of my different posts so I went on and looked at my stats.

One of my blogs which I have not touched for years but did hundreds of posts on is still getting 5400 hits a month and still getting comments.

I was amazed because I thought there would 0 activity.

This backs up the value of having a blog presence and to keep posting.

My Top Earning Program

Focus on Building Your List

Hi,

I have been doing quite a bit of traffic exchange surfing lately. I get results but nowhere as good as I get from using Solo Ads and Safelists to get people onto my lists.

I am now restricting my surfing to a couple of hours a day (I still love surfing TE's!) but the bulk of my time is now focusing on expanding my lists.

Nearly all my sales come from my lists because you have time to cultivate a relationship with list members. The old mantra people buy off people that they know, like and trust is as true today online as it was in offline sales.

It is a more relaxing way to sell as well...

If you don't have a list yet OLSP is offering a Magic Link and list build and setup for $7. This is a bargain. You can also connect your Magick Link to your own autoresponder if you already have one.

My Trifecta of Supporting Success Sites

I have been doing a review of the sites and programs that provide me successful leads for my core focus on building up my Your Success Advantage (Matthew Graves) and OLSP (Wayne Crowe) programs. 

 

These sites are on top of the resources you should already be using as part of Matt's or Waynes programs.

 

It comes down to a core Trifecta of sites:

 

1. TrafficAdBar (Premier Traffic Exchange)
2. Cash Juice (Top business social media site)
3. 100PercentClicks (Outstanding Solo Ads)

Time after time after time TrafficAdBar provides me with signups on Matts launches. It is so dependable. You have probably seen it advertised and ignored it. It is not flashy but always performs.

 

CashJuice and 100 PercentClicks are also on my list of referral sources.

 

All three of these sites are free to join, so you can bootstrap your way up if you are short of funds. That is the way I started out online :)

 

Just a word for those of you who are experienced online, and for those of you who are new and prepared to invest in your future. At some stage you are going to need to start paying for upgrades to multiply your success and I have no hesitation in promoting these sites to you. So if you can afford it start as you will continue - buying services that build your business. THis is not a cost but an investment in your future.

 

To the top in 2024 and beyond!

If you join the programs in your back office you will also get 1000 credits a week for them for the month of May - I got 67,000 free credits last Friday.

Time to Resurrect this Blog

Hi All

I just realised that this blog has been postless for years, so today is the day of its resurrection.

From my ongoing experience I have seen the same mistakes being made by each new wave of newbies namely,

1. A desire to get rich with no work

2. A desire for quick results

3. The tendency to lose focus 

4. The tendency to try out each shiny new object. 

 In my next posts I will cover these above points one by one.

2016 - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

2016 is drawing to a close. A most interesting year. Like all years it has had its Good, its BAD and its UGLY.

The GOOD
I finished up my three years in the Middle East and have been consulting in Australia and New Zealand since June.
I have been able to see more of my lovely granddaughters.
My online businesses continue to grow.
Mentorship from Igor Kheifets and Matthew Graves.

The BAD
I broke both of my wrists which necessitated an operation and 8 weeks away from my business.
The UGLY
Brexit
Trumps Election Win and the nuclear escalation that will result
PayPal's blatant, and in my mind, unethical attempt to shut down an industry that had helped it to grow in it's initial days.

So overall the balance comes out on the good side.

I look forward to seeing what 2017 brings into my life.

Forward - 8 Years

Hey,

I just got this email from Matt Lloyd, the founder of an online education company that has generated over $100 million to date, and it's a great read so I thought I'd forward it on:

++++++

I was thinking about what lesson I could share with you in today's email, reflecting on what I've learned these past few years about making money online, when I was struck by a realization; I've been doing this for 8 years.

How time flies...

So today, I'm going to go a little bit deeper than usual, and share some advice I wish someone had taught me when starting out.

If you want to do well in this business, here's what you're going to need:

Discipline.

Discipline is doing the essential things every day in your business, even when you don’t feel like doing them.

This entire weekend I'm at a hotel close by to where I live, and I've been working on (and will continue to work on) an entirely new brand new training program.

This is now the 3rd weekend I've done this, and each time I work in 1 hour blocks, for 30 hours over 3 days before I allow myself to go home.

There’s a part of me which wants to take a break and go do something else. I'd love to go watch a movie instead, or, go to some bar tonight and have a few drinks.

But I’ve committed to getting a certain number of hours of writing done today, and I'm not done yet. So I push myself to keep typing.

This is how I try to approach my business every day.

Normally it's not this intense, but I still make sure the essential things get done.

If I haven’t emailed my list in awhile and I know it’s been too long since they last heard from me, I’ll force myself to go write the email.

It’s these little things you do on a daily basis that add up over time.

Perhaps you currently have a job and you work full time. You get home late at night, and your tired.

Do you decide to veg out in front of the TV and watch your favorite show, telling yourself you deserve to rest after the long day?

Or, do you sit down in front of your computer and place that extra ad, knowing it could lead to your next big sale and help you quit that job once and for all to pursue your dreams?

In that moment, it might seem like an inconsequential decision to remain in front of the TV.

“What’s the big deal?” you might ask yourself, “it’s only one night off.”

Yet those nights off soon add up, and turn into months, and then years.

Every time you make the right decision and take the necessary actions to build your business (even when you don’t feel like doing them), you give yourself power.

Where you are one year from today, will be the sum total of all those minor decisions you make every day here on out. Make sure you’re making the right ones.

Don’t Listen To The Critics.

No one ever became successful without having critics along the way.

The only way to guarantee you’ll never have critics, is to accomplish nothing (like many people in life seem happy to do).

You should expect to have people be skeptical of, scoff at, be negative at, laugh at, and even ridicule what you’re now doing.

Pay them no attention.

Think about how many critics the president of the United States of America has (including both candidates now running for office now).

Or how many critics there are of Apple computers, who still insist PCs are better.

You should see some of the critics I have online (you probably already have!).

There are people out there who love to observe from the sidelines of life and criticism the players in life instead of getting in the game themselves. It’s easier for them that way.

No one ever remembers these people, and they never accomplish anything significant.

What you’re doing right now is taking a stand for your own financial future, and trying something that most never will.

You’ll have people around you say that that internet marketing doesn’t work, it's a scam, that ‘if it’s so easy, then everyone would be doing it,’ etc.

When I first started my online business I had people laugh at what I was doing, or tell me I was being scammed.

I assure you, they are no longer laughing.

Instead of focussing on the critics, ignore them and surround yourself with other people who are on the same path as you.

If you don’t know any other entrepreneurs, then get to seminars and meet them.

Spend more time discussing your business with these people then you do discussing it with people who are not on board with what you’re doing.

Get Out Of ‘Learning’ Mode And Into ‘Implementation’ Mode.

Being the founder of an education company, I obviously am a huge advocate of learning.

I believe self education determines what kind of life a person leads more than anything else.

However, I don’t believe knowledge by itself has any value.

I only believe applied knowledge has value.

It makes no sense to fill your head with more and more theory if you’re not also taking action along the way.

The best advice I can give you here, is that for every 1 hour you spend learning something, go spend 3 hours actually doing.

Soon, you’ll start learning a lot about generating traffic.

Make sure that along the way you are implementing the strategies you are being taught. This way the knowledge you gain will sink in at a much deeper level through real life experience, rather than the ‘surface level’ learning you get (and soon forget) when you’re accumulating more theory.

Have Faith That Things Will Work Out:

I remember when I started out, and I began to get very impatient with the process.

Especially when people who were newer to the business would get started, who knew much less than I did, yet were still making sales.

To be honest, that was infuriating.

I wondered why it was taking me so much longer

And yes, there were times when I started to doubt myself and whether I’d ever be successful in this business.

There were times when I’d lay in bed at night, staring up at the ceiling unable to sleep, thinking about all the money I’d spent and being frustrated at my lack of results.

But no matter what, I always returned to a position of having faith that things would work out.

As long as I didn’t stop taking action, sooner or later I’d figure out what worked.

Even if I had to try 100 things that didn’t work to find the one thing that did, I knew the only way I’d ever fail was through giving up.

When my first $1,000 commission came in late 2009, it may as well have been $100,000.

It felt so good to know that not only did I have a result, but, I’d found a series of action steps which had led to that sale which I could repeat.

Be a producer of content in promoting your business, rather than a consumer of content from others promoting their business.

When you’re first starting out in this industry, it’s easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing.

It’s easy to attend webinar after webinar, watch video after video, read blog post after blog post, and be constantly consuming everyone else’s marketing.

The problem with this is you become overwhelmed with information very quickly, and also begin to feel depressed about how little you’re doing (and how much you seemingly have to do to be like everyone else).

To avoid taking action (which again, seems like so much work) you procrastinate through continuing to look at everyone else’s marketing.

More time passes, and you begin to feel worse.

Before you know it, 3 months have passed you by and you still haven’t made sales.

Don’t let this happen to you.

Each day you must focus first on producing your own marketing, before you give your attention to anyone elses.

Spend the first hour of your day placing ads and / or creating content that promotes you and your business.

A final word of advice:

The opportunity you have in front of you right now is unprecedented.

It’s entirely possible for you one year from now, to have a completely different life.

A life with no debt, and where money is no longer a worry. A life where you get to choose how much you want to work each day. A life where traveling to exotic places is something you experience every few months.

But (and it’s a big but), it’s going to require you learn some new skills, and more importantly, that you consistently and persistently implement them.

It will take time (probably more than you think) and money (again, probably more than think).

The truth is, if I’d have known what was required in the very beginning of starting my first online business, it would have been a lot less appealing. I would have had second thoughts about it.

All top earners in this industry (and top entrepreneurs in general) will tell you something similar.

But they’ll also tell you that in hindsight, starting their business was the best decision they ever made.

Make the decision that no matter what, you’re going to make something of yourself as an internet marketer.

There’s only one person on this planet who will hold you back from achieving all of this.

And that’s you.

Have faith that you can do this, take massive action, and begin immediately.

If you're looking for a proven system for generating commissions online, try this one:

http://track.mobetrack.com/aff_c?offer_id=1555&aff_id=243372

To date, here's the results achieved with this system so far:

1 consultant has made over $10 million
6 consultants have made over $1 million (this includes John, who you'll see in the video on that link)
37 consultants have made over $100,000
345 consultants have made over $10,000
1,207 consultants have made over $1,000
3,567 consultants have made a commission
Real people are getting real results. It's time for you to get in the game and join them.

++++++
Hope you got some value out of that.

Farewell to Qatar

I have just finished my three year contract in Qatar in the Middle East. I am writing this post from the Movenpick hotel in Dubai.

I am speaking at a conference in Dubai on Tuesday and then flying back to my home country, New Zealand on the first of June.

My three years have been very enjoyable. I have learned about a new culture, have picked up conversational Arabic and have seen the Middle East from the other side of the lens.

Overall a very positive experience.

My next contract is in Sydney, Australia and I'm looking forward to it.

The other awesome thing that happened to me in the Middle East was that I discovered MOBE/MTTB. My wife who is an ED Specialist Nurse could not work in Qatar as she was over 49 years of old (Crazy isn't it) so we had to find a business to keep her occupied and stimulated. MOBE did this wonderfully plus made us some income.

A well as my clinical qualifications I also have a Masters degree in Business. I was amazed how much I learned from the MOBE 21 steps - my eyes were opened and I realized how deficient academic learning can be in a hands on activity like business.

I invite you to check the 21 steps out for yourself.

Warren Buffett on Time Management

Warren Buffett, the greatest investor of the 20th century, gave a valuable lesson on time management.

One of his staff asked him about productivity and how to he could be more effective. Buffett's advice was as follows:

1. Write out a list of the top 25 things you need to get done.

2. Go through the list and make another list of the top 5 things that need to be done from the list of 25.

After the staff member had made the two lists Buffett asked him to say how he would manage the 2 lists. The man replied, "I will concentrate on the list of 5 and from time to time I will work on the other 20 from the first list".

What would you have said?

I have to confess that as of this morning I would have replied in the same way.

Buffett's response was that you should concentrate wholly on the second list of 5 and treat the first list as a don't touch at any cost list until the list of 5 is complete.

The reason for this was that the other 20 items will distract you from what really needs to be done.

It is a great lesson and I'm going to give it a go.

Think Evergreen, Think Bread, Milk, Gas and Marketing Tools

I often get asked my people new to online business about which tools I use to drive my success and my residual evergreen income.

It has taken me tens of thousands to find the tools that work, along with 500 that didn't.

The FIRST good thing about these tools are that they work.

The SECOND great thing is that if you market them on you will make RESIDUAL income.

Why? you may ask.

Because all of these tools are EVERGREEN products. People need to keep using them and that means monthly subscriptions = monthly commissions for you.

Think evergreen, think bread, gas, think air - you can't do without them.

Check out these Evergreen Tools here:

This generally makes people uncomfortable

Human beings are very good at deluding themselves. But sometimes we need to face up to the truth,

And the truth in Internet business is related to the M word.

Not Mother, not Motor, not even Montana...

M = Money.

Why is money awkward? why does discussion about it make people uncomfortable?

I can only share my own experience.

For a long time I looked for FREE things, methods and programs on the Net. I was not prepared to make the step to invest any money to move my online business forward.

The turning point for me came when I started taking upgraded packages in traffic exchanges. I began to get more conversions and more sales.

Now many years later I pay hundreds of dollars a month for business mentoring and thousands of dollars for paid clicks for my safelists. I have proved the truth of the old biblical saying:

"As a man sows so he reaps" - sow cash, reap cash and again, "He who sows sparingly will reap sparingly".

I have to say it was a great day when I sowed my first $49 to get started with the MOBE 21 step program.

Go for Slow Residual Growth

My first post of the year deals with an old topic, that is, the need for persistent application. 2015 saw an unprecedented number of new online business launches but in reality most of these ventures will be struggling by mid 2016.

"Why is that you may well ask?".

Because these new programs offer very little new and will be overshadowed quickly by the next launch which will inevitably happen in the next few weeks. Everyone (not the smart ones of course) is rushing to make a quick buck before they move onto the next big, new, shiny thing.

So what is the answer? The answer is to stick to your knitting, as my grandmother used to say. Knitting is intricate, takes time, but the end product is worth it. You need to find or develop a business that sells evergreen products (think gasoline, bread toilet tissues etc as evergreen products that you need to keep buying. Only with online business it is auto-responders, trackers, website builders, downline builders, list generators that are evergreen).

For the last 3 years the program I have been concentrating on is Click Track Profit.I am getting consistent payments which are slowly going up in value. With this program you can learn as you earn and the results are there for those who follow the +1 approach (doing 1 thing a day to build your business). For those of you who can commit to $30 a month then Kore4 is a great program promoted at CTP.

I have no problem investing money when I get returns. If you want to earn more then spend more!!

So I'm growing my CTP and Kore4 businesses this year, because the guys who run those programs know what they are doing and I have known them for over 10 years which is almost an eternity in this day and age.

Lets all be the best we can be in 2016 and focus on the quality programs instead of the so called next big thing.

A big thanks to Jon, Tim and Justin for running such great programs.

Ciao

Steve Jobs and the Human-Machine Interface

Mr. Jobs understood that the best technology incorporates the arts and humanities, Mr. Isaacson told the audience on Monday.
"Jobs was a genius in understanding how people would related emotionally to their devices," he said. "He understood the emotion, beauty, and simplicity that makes for a great human-machine interface."
Walter Isaacson - biographer of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs had a deep understanding of human-machine interfaces. That is why people love Apple products and why Apple has recently surpassed all previous business profits in a financial quarter.

Such success happens when you understand both humans and technology. The arts and humanities represent the human spirit and its creative urges. An understanding of what humans desire and value helps in the design of technology. It's not just about rationality but the buying behavior of humans encapsulates emotional wants. Jobs understood this and stood against design decisions that were only based on rational technological/scientific perspectives.

Jobs made history. Long live Apple and may Steve's vision be carried on.

The Strength of Community based Business

I decided to rename this post add some comments and republish. The only way that we are going to become a fair and caring society is by embedding businesses back into our communities and making them accountable to us the customer. Big business has become global and lost its way. The profits don’t stay in the communities where they were generated and this removes a community good. The time has come to boycott big business and support community businesses where the owners live in the community they serve.

The original post was about Quaker Business practices:

Look at the Quakers - they were excellent business people that never lied, never stole; they cared for their employees and the community which gave them the wealth. They never took more money out than they put back in.
Anita Roddick

In a previous post I talked about big business greed and how it will look in the light of history. In this post I want to give an ethical counterpoint to big business greed. The Quakers live simple lives and have been honest business folk for hundreds of years. The key point in their business practice (besides honesty) is their attitude to the communities in which they have their businesses. They see the community as a supportive matrix for business where you have good stewardship and never take more money out of than you put in. That is they are net community contributors.

This is a far cry from the big corporates who display contempt for the communities that sustain them. They reap where they have not sown and take out far more money than they put in. Long term this is unsustainable.

Small business is what has made America great. We had community based businesses that stayed open for generations and made an honest living for their owners and a positive contribution within the constraints of the community. Eventually this is the model we will have to return to if we are to survive. Note: If small businesses in the USA payed as little taxes as the tax evading corporations we would be bankrupt.

Unbridled profits, like unbridled horses pose a danger to an honest way of business.

Be honest, support your community and prosper.

Who is your Customer?

To be successful in business you need to be able to answer the question, "Who is my customer"?

Why is this important?

Customer identification is important for the following reasons:

1. It helps you to match your product/service to a targeted audience

2. It allows you to focus your marketing efforts

3. It saves you time and the pain of dealing with tire kickers

We only have so much time available every day and we need to apply it to best effect. Having a targeted customer group saves time and makes your advertising efficient. Your messages can be written with your customer group in mind. This allows you to move from a scattered shotgun to an accurate rifle shot approach.

I market to people who want to start their own online business. I sell evergreen products that I know have high numbers of repeat sales which help me build residual income. The lists I use and my advertising efforts are all focused on this demographic. If you have hungry people they will want to eat the food you serve up. If someone is happy with a day job working for a boss then they won't be hungry for marketing that accentuates the benefits of working for yourself (e.g. How may takers would you have for selling a dinner package to people coming out of a buffet?).

Know your customer, meet their hunger and prosper!

Yunus on Social Business and Poverty

“Once poverty is gone, we'll need to build museums to display its horrors to future generations. They'll wonder why poverty continued so long in human society - how a few people could live in luxury while billions dwelt in misery, deprivation and despair.”
― Muhammad Yunus, Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism

The current situation where big business rapes and pillages the environment and pauperises the majority of the world's population is immoral and unsustainable. Remember history, "they will come after you with their pitchforks".

The luxury aspired to and enjoyed by a small oligarchy is obscene and their lack of concern for others is monumental. I would prefer to have less so that others can live with dignity.

Social Business shows us the dignified way where business is embedded as part of, not an overlord, the society it operates in. Profits are necessary, obscene profits especially when derived from legal tax avoidance are anathema to me and a growing number of people who wonder about the sustainability of current big business.

Sadly I'm not sure that we will ever get to a state of no poverty but it is a fine aspiration.

Driving Your Blog Presence

In a recent blogpost Mahesh Mohan shares three interesting points from an Infographic by Business 2 Community.

They are as follows:

1. 80% of daily blog visits are new.
2. Blogs that post daily get 5 times more traffic than those that post weekly or less.
3. Once you accumulate 51 posts, blog traffic increases by 53%, goes up by 3 times after 100 posts and by 4.5 times after 200 posts.

These are mind blowing statistics.

If you are using blogs to drive your web presence and marketing then these 3 facts will help you.

Mohan also shares that evergreen posts of high quality get enduring exposure. He pruned a number of his old posts and retained only 157 evergreen posts and his stats stayed unchanged. The lesson is that quality drives quantity.

Happy blogging

Experience not Theory Drives Business

You cannot run a business, or anything else, on a theory.
Harold S. Geneen

As Geneen points out theory per se is not able to drive a business. It may inform the business person in his/her thinking but it is experience that is the true business engine.

If you want to improve then try new things, make more mistakes and clamber up the experience curve.

Business is an applied science rather than a theoretical one.
