How Many Real Assets do You Have in Your Business?

I’ve said this many times before… “If you’re not building a list, you’re not building a business… You’re building someone else’s business.”

But it goes even further than just building a list… The real question is, “Do you have any real assets in your business?”

The Wiktionary defines an asset as: Any component, model, process or framework of value that can be leveraged or reused.

The key words in that definition are “leveraged” and “reused.”

* If you’re just driving traffic from Google to a merchant’s website, you are not building an asset for your business.
* If you depend on surf programs, exchanges and safe lists for your traffic, you are not building an asset for your business.
* If you only advertise in ezines, you are not building an asset for your business.

Don’t get me wrong… You can generate a lot of traffic using the methods above. But once you stop, the traffic stops. If you depend on one source of traffic and that source dries up, so does your cash flow.

You need assets that generate sustainable traffic and sales around the clock whether you work or not. That’s what it’s all about, right? Making money on auto-pilot!

So what kind of assets can you create to build your business?

Asset #1: Your List. Building a responsive mailing list is the best investment you can make in your business. I say, “Investment” because it takes time and money to build a good list. But your efforts will be rewarded ten fold in time.

If Google forces you out of a market or drops your ads, you will still have your list. It’s your asset and no matter what happens, they can’t take that away from you.

And once you build a list of any size, you can leverage that asset in many ways:

* You can swap ads with other list owners to build your list faster.
* You can endorse affiliate products or sell advertising to increase your cash flow.
* You can get feedback on products you may want to create by conducting surveys.

Once you establish yourself as an expert (or at least knowledgeable) on your topic, your subscribers and customers will respect your opinions and advice about the quality products and services you sell.

Asset #2: Your Blog. If you do it right, you can get a ton of free traffic just by publishing to your blog each day.

* If you publish quality content, run contests, or give prizes to your readers, you will get repeat visitors and traffic through word-of-mouth advertising.
* If you target a niche market that’s not too competitive, you can generate free traffic from search engines by using the right keywords in your posts and links.
* If you encourage visitors to comment on your posts, you get other people to add unique original content to your blog.

Publishing a blog is a great way to communicate with your subscribers and customers while building an asset for your business.

Asset #3: Your Articles. An article is an asset because it’s yours. It’s something unique that you create and you can use it any way you wish…

* You can optimize your articles for specific keywords, submit them to article directories, and get free traffic from search engines.
* You can submit your articles to a distribution service and get them published in major ezines for instant quality traffic.
* You can combine your articles and create a viral PDF report to give away to your subscribers.

Now you might be thinking, “But there are tons of PLR articles that I can buy dirt cheap.” Sure, you can buy private label rights to tons of articles for pennies each. I have thousands on my hard drive… Do you want them? They are worthless to me…

99% of the PLR articles and ebooks people are selling are poorly written by people who don’t know the topic at all. I wouldn’t sign my name to a PLR article and an ezine owner would have to be pretty desperate or plain stupid to publish them.

You won’t get much traffic from search engines because Google and Yahoo! Systematically purge duplicate content. Unless you’re the first to get a PLR article listed in the search engines, you won’t see any traffic from your efforts at all.

About the only thing you can do with PLR content is re-write it yourself. But there are much better articles written by experts that you can use “templates” to create your own.

I’ve given you three examples of assets that you can create for your business. There are many more including, viral reports, audio and video reports and reviews. Basically, anything that YOU create that will continue to generate traffic and sales over time is an asset to your business.

What's The First Thing I Should Do To Earn Affiliate Cash? Pt. 2

http://www.massiveautopilotincome.com

There are some affiliate programs that supply their own websites or a free website, which eliminates the process of dealing with getting your "store" up and running.

The need for keyword research in terms of defining your market as well assigning an appropriate domain are equally as important as the first model. However the focus for you to get into profit right away should be on engaging in activities that will yield some cold hard cash.

The motivation for pursuing your online endeavor will continue to grow so long as there are some profits coming in. So what can you do to get to that point?

Start building a list. Sound too simple? Maybe. But it's true. You're most valuable asset in your business will be your list. Think about it, when a prospect visits your site and doesn't find what they're looking for, what's the probability of them coming back?

Equally as important to consider, what if you're site is identical to a thousand other sites out there? The visitor may have come across your site having come from one that looks just like it. Now what?

Start building a list. With a list you can make repeated offers at various intervals while developing a relationship with your client base at the same time. Your chances of making a sale are much higher, allowing you to officially establish yourself as being in business.

The key tool for being able to develop your list will be a Lead Capture Page. This is a simple web page designed to pique your prospects curiosity and make an offer that will contain enough value to justify them giving you their name and email.

Designing effective lead capture pages is very important for effectively building your list. In conjunction with your lead capture page you'll need an effective system to pull it all together to make it work. Get that to work and you'll be able to earn affiliate cash hand over fist.

The New Affiliates Most Dangerous Enemy

http://www.massivautopilotincome.com

The effective and lucrative business model of affiliate marketing despite it's simplicity does not come without it's challenges. Everyday the rush to make money online increases.

Opportunities to earn affiliate cash seem to pop up(no pun intended), one after another faster and faster with their promises of instant wealth and riches beyond your wildest imagination, a.k.a "the internet lifestyle".

The offers of a champagne lifestyle for the cost of a six pack will continue to bombard the email in boxes of all who give ear. By now you should have picked up on what the new affiliates most dangerous enemy is.

*******************Distraction********************

Any decent online business opportunity that's been around for awhile will yield favorable results if you're able to focus your undivided attention on it.

Keyword - Undivided

You know what's interesting? Even if you're heavily involved in the process of advertising your opportunity in every imaginable place that you could fit a text link
or banner, the tendency to get bored with your routine can still cause you to lose focus on your objective and create room for distraction.

In that muse alone is the key difference between living the internet lifestyle and standing on the shore of uncertainty waiting for your ship to come in.

Super affiliates focus their attention solely on the task at hand until the job is done. How else could someone win an affiliate competition if they didn't focus on the task at hand.

Tackle the problem by outlining a simple schedule of activity that will allow you to
accomplish your objective. Unclutter your mind or better yet avoid the clutter that can come from all the materials you've downloaded and keep around you.
Your either reading or working, but just like driving a car, you can only do one or the other. Keep only what you need around you.

Unless you've just joined another program and need to access your e-mail to get your password, leave it alone. Don't worry they will be there when you get back, and then some.

What's The First Thing I Should Do To Earn Affiliate Cash? Pt.1

http://www.massiveautopilotincome.com

There are two scenarios to consider when getting started online. So that we can effectively answer the question we'll briefly consider both.

If you're just starting out completely from scratch without a website, your first priority is going to be to pick a profitable niche or market that you're going to sell your products or services to. Do a simple search on Google to find what people are looking for.

*Tip* If there is a lot of competition (results) that show up from the keyword your searching, that typically suggests there is a relatively high demand for services or products under the term you used. (Keyword Research will be explained and simplified in a seperate post.)

Once you've identified a profitable market to focus your attention on you're going to need to build a simple website that will highlight the value of your products or services and give them the opportunity to sign up granting them access to your goods and giving you an opportunity to develop your personal customer list that you'll be able to market related offers to from time to time.

To build your website you'll need to purchase a domain name. This name will be the name of your "store" if you will, where individuals looking for your services can find you. The key here is to choose a domain name that most accurately describes your business so as to be readily found by your future customers.

You can simplify the website process by starting with a blog which is a simple website that just about anyone can design and operate. Like the one you're reading now.

Next you'll need to get some customers (traffic) to visit your shop.
There are a variety of methods available and the list continues to grow that can help you to do this. (For the sake of brevity we'll mention them one by one in future posts as this site develops)

Finally you'll want to keep track of your marketing activity so as to maintain an optimum flow of customers and sales at all times. The overall process is simple and anyone with a desire to make a difference in their life or the lives of others can do this. There are of course many details that were not discussed here. See Part 2 for the answer to the second scenario.

Can Someone Show Me How To Earn Affiliate Cash Please?

http://www.massiveautopilotincome.com

"If someone would just come clean and show me exactly how to earn some good affiliate cash, I know I would be successful". Wow! wouldn't it be great if that happened? You're more than willing to do what you have to do if someone just spelled it out for you.

There are so many good looking opportunities out there, but once you look behind the curtain, there's nobody home. Depressing isn't it? Not to mention frustrating and definitely irritating. Been there, done that, and I'm selling the T-shirts out the trunk of my car, want one?

The truth is this, we can point the finger at every opportunity and say they didn't do this or they didn't do that, but for every finger we point there are always three pointing right back, so what did we do or not do?

You've heard over and over again about the power of article marketing and probably read many success stories about people who built their business solely with this tactic, so what happened to you?

How many articles did you write? You did write some articles, didn't you? If you did write them, how often did you do it?

O.k. so you wrote a few articles or maybe alot of articles and you still didn't earn the affiliate cash you were expecting, now what?

Did you ever stop to consider what the problem with the articles could've been?
Too long? Too short? Was the content provided related to the product you offered or the problem that needed to be solved? Did you do any keyword research?

The purpose of this post is not to rag on you, but to get you thinking about how can earn some real affiliate cash if you take a moment to test and tweak along the way during your campaign. Don't kill yourself blindly running in one direction without looking at where you're going, cause all you're going to do is waste your own time.

Your time is valuable so be as effective as you can with it and the results you're looking for are far more likely to show up. There are tons of ebooks and reports that can tell you how to write effective articles and then market them effectively. There is even a program available that can show you how to do this for maximum benefit if you're open to it.

Let's face it everyday we're faced with pressures and problems that just don't seem to quit. Maybe you've tried something in the past and for whatever reason it didn't pan out, does that mean that what you were doing didn't work?
