If you're not outsourcing some of your work yet, you might be wondering what the benefits are. Obviously you'll save time, but you're trading money for the time saved. So is it really worth it? Here are 7 benefits of outsourcing you may not have realized: 1. Not only are you saving time, but the time you save can be put to a higher use. For example, instead of spending time writing your next article, you could outsource the article creation to a professional and spend that time making contact with potential JV partners who will promote your products. 2. You don't have to learn a new skill. If it's a skill you're going to rarely use anyway, or if it's something that you simply have no interest in learning, you are much better off outsourcing it to a professional. 3. Even if you know how to perform the skill you're thinking of outsourcing, there is a good chance someone else can do it better than you. Maybe a lot better. Do you really want to spend the nex...

The New Year is upon us – time to talk about your goals, right? Goals are important, yes... But I'd like to focus for a moment on one of the real drivers that will allow you to achieve all of your 2019 ambitions, whatever they might be: Keeping Your Brain Happy so it can help you to accomplish your tasks and see your intentions through to success. We all know what it's like to try to try to work when our brain is in a fog or just doesn't want to cooperate with us. We feel like we can't get it in gear, like everything takes too long and the end result is sadly lacking. Just like any other part of the body, brains can get tired. Suffering from cerebral fatigue results in a lack of new ideas, poor thinking, lousy problem solving and can even be a cause of depression. Here then are 12 tips to keep your brain refreshed, energized and happy: 1. Mix it up . It's just common sense that if you spend hour after hour on the same task, you're going to get burned out. So in...

Can you really get 50,000 visitors to your blog in 30 days or less... and do it without lists, without JV partners, without name recognition and without advertising? Jane Smarts was a brand new blogger who knew she would have to do something different to get visitors to his brand new blog. And to put this in perspective in case you're not a blogger yet, getting 50,000 visitors in your very first month is akin to winning the lottery – it rarely happens and when it does it can pay off big. So what did she do? We broke his methods into these steps: 1. Choose a niche you're passionate about. Jane chose corporate consulting because it's closest to her heart, and it's also what her company does. 2. Make some quick posts so it appears as though your blog has been around for awhile. Jane already had 10 or 15 posts from previous work that she could immediately publish. Hopefully you already have some content written, whether it's articles, an ebook, etc. Break whatever you h...

Yes, people come for the content, but first you've got to attract them with the image. After all, images are the first thing people notice about your page or post. The right image can grab attention and create intrigue, mystery, curiosity and a host of other emotions that wrap their tendrils around your visitor and glue them to your writing. As an added benefit, the better your image is at capturing attention, the less important your headline becomes. A great image with a mediocre headline will almost always lure the visitor into reading your content, while a sub par headline on its own seldom will. What can you do to maximize the effect images have on your visitor? Here are 10 keys: 1. Use at least one image per post. Every post should have an image of its own above the fold. And if your post is long, consider adding images into the middle as well to break up your post. These will provide welcome breaks to your readers, as well as enticing scanners to stop and read your content. 2...

You've got a new product or website, but you're stuck for a tagline. Should you spend a lot of time thinking up the best possibility? Surprisingly, no. There is a simple shortcut to writing the perfect tagline that will grab people's attention and let them know immediately that your product is right for them. So what's the shortcut? Believe it or not, it's letting your customer write your tagline FOR YOU. First, a few things you should know about the perfect tagline: 1. It needs to accurately articulate what it is that you are offering, and it needs to position you positively with your target market. 2. It's got to be original. Whatever it is that you're selling, odds are there are plenty of others selling something similar. By being original, you can stand apart from the crowd to get noticed and remembered. 3. It's got to be concise and precise. Memories are exceedingly short and the competition to be heard is getting tougher every day. Now then, keepin...

There may be no faster way to create a great product than by interviewing an expert in your niche. You set a time for the interview, prepare a few questions, record it, and possibly get it transcribed. Total time? Maybe 2 hours, tops. But exactly what is it that you, as the interviewer, need to do to make the interview great? To put it another way, how do you ensure that your listeners are going to stay riveted by the interview and be thrilled that they took the time to listen to it? Here's 17 indispensable tips for conducting a memorable podcast interview: 1. Have fun with it. If you're all stressed out about doing this interview, odds are it's not going to turn out well. You've got to relax and have a good time. Laugh. Joke a little. Smile. Did you know people can HEAR if you're smiling? It's true. And the more at ease you are, the more comfortable your guest will be, too. 2. Do some research. Know the person you're interviewing, and by all means know some...

...Or the life of someone you love. 85% of people suffer from low self-esteem, lack of confidence, or just a general feeling of not being “good enough.” That's 17 out of 20 people who are afflicted with enough self-doubt to make success difficult and life hard. It starts in childhood: Something is said that makes you feel inferior, or you interpret something to mean that you are somehow “less than.” You replay it in your mind until it becomes a fixed grove winding deeply throughout everything you think and everything you do. Low self esteem and lack of confidence affects your life on every level. But so does finally learning - deep down inside where it counts - to really, truly, finally love yourself. It's transformative. It's simple. But it takes lots and lots of practice to overwrite all of that bad programming you've endured in the past. I recently discovered a Kindle book that can totally change the way a person thinks about him or herself. The author hit roc...

I got out my trusty calculator and did a little math. Assuming you make your own information products, what would it take to earn $100,000 in a year if you work with affiliates and pay them 50% commission? $47 Ebooks: You'd need to sell 355 of these a month, or 12 per day. $97 Teleseminars and Webinars: You'll be selling 172 seats a month, or 5.7 per day. Think no one would pay that kind of money for a teleseminar? If your information is timely and valuable, they'll line up for it. For example, stock market and forex trading advice would fit this category. $197 Audio Courses: You only need to sell 85 of these a month, or 2.9 per day. Now who's going to pay $197 for an audio course? Actually, a lot of people. The trick is to make a big promise, record on a library of CD's, and make sure you fulfill that promise. Example titles might be; 7 Days To Speaking Confidence or perhaps Improve Your SAT Scores by 33% In Two Weeks or even How To Become A Master Pick Up Artist P...

Social media sites provide an unprecedented opportunity to network and grow your business online. Don't throw away this golden ticket by making these 12 costly mistakes! 1. Posting long, messy, nasty URLs. Use a URL shortener like bit.ly. 2. Posting too often. Rein this in by posting only when you actually have something significant to say. 3. Not spacing your posts. Sending 20 posts in 10 minutes and then not posting the rest of the day is – well – dumb. 4. Not making sense. Posting, “ARGGHHH” with no other information just annoys people. Post complete thoughts that actually mean something. 5. Too much personal stuff. You're doing social media to promote your business or service, right? Then keep it 90%+ business and less than 10% personal. 6. Being boring. Posting that chocolate tastes good (No! Really??) or that you had cold cereal for breakfast is so........ ~ yawn ~ ................... Excuse me, I fell asleep for a second. See what I mean? 7. No picture....

Need some serious cash in a flash? Assuming you already have a customer base, here's what you can do: 1. Identify your best customers. If you have only two lists, one of prospects and one of people who have actually made a purchase from you, then of course choose your list of buyers. But if you have a list of repeat buyers or customers who have made large purchases from you, then you want to choose that list. Whoever your best buyers are, those are the ones upon which you want to focus your efforts. 2. Talk to these people. You might call some of them if you have phone numbers, or more likely you will send them an email or survey. Identify what they most need and most want right now. Some things they might need, and other things they might want. What you're really looking for is the one they both need and want. 3. Based on what you learn, create a high value offer with a matching price tag. In other words, you're going to offer tremendous value and charge accordingly. This ...

Social media platforms offer a great way to create new connections and strengthen existing relationships. Here's 10 simple ways you can engage people on social media to develop more meaningful, and potentially profitable friendships and partnerships. <img src=" homebusinessideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/socialmediamarketing.jpg " alt="10 Creative Ways to Engage People On Social Media"> 1. Acknowledge. It's no accident that this is #1. Comment on your friends statuses and posts. Reply to their tweets. Interact. Acknowledge when they say something bright, funny or helpful. The fastest way to engage others is to meet them halfway. 2. Like and retweet. Maybe you can't respond to everyone, but it only takes a second to give a like on Facebook or retweet on Twitter, and it makes the other person appreciate you all the more. 3. Don't tell – tease. Next time you post a new article or blog post, don't tell all. Instead, simply post a teaser th...

As an online marketer, there are 3 kinds of speed you need to focus on to be successful. The speed of your customer service . If a customer emails you today, you need to answer today. If you can't, hire a virtual assistant. If you can't do that, then at least set up a help desk that lets customers know what hours you work, so they know when you will be getting back to them. Your website speed . How long does it take for your website to load? For every second added to a website's load time, the conversions decrease by a shocking 2% to 7%, and page views are reduced by 1% to 2%. That's per SECOND. In addition, Google factors in loading speed when determining the ranking it's going to give your website. I'm not going into a technical tutorial here, so I suggest you Google how to make your site load faster and take it from there – or suffer the consequences. That sounded dire. Sorry. I'm eager to get to my third point, and that is: Your own speed . When you have...

Hint: Do the Opposite and Success Will Be Yours! Is the Internet easy money? A lot of people seem to think so, which might be why we see Internet businesses come and go faster than feathers in the wind. And sadly, while it takes a lot to succeed in business, it really takes very little effort to fail. But you can turn the tables and give yourself a head start by NOT doing the following: 1. Bringing nothing new. You see what someone else is doing and you copy it. FAIL. Unless you do it faster, better, cheaper, stronger, more effectively, etc.; you won't make a dent in the market. You've got to differentiate your business by either offering something new or something vastly improved. 2. Not prioritizing. If you're obsessed with trivial things like getting your latest article perfected - rather than focusing on the big things like making sales – you're going to fail. Decide what's most important to making your business a success (aka: getting new customers and taking ...

(You Just Don't Know It Yet) Think you don't have anything to share? Think again. Your life experiences along with what you're learning can make great content. All you need to do is take notice of it, seize it before you lose it, and transform it into an article, blog post or video. For example, what mistake did you, one of your clients or one of your colleagues recently make that others can learn from? Everyone likes to hear about other people's boo-boos, and it's always cheaper and less painful to learn from others' mistakes rather than our own. So keep your eyes and ears open and you'll find a ton of content with this idea alone. While you're looking for mistakes, keep your eyes open for success stories. What did they accomplish and how did they do it? By learning from the success of others we can find vital clues on how to create our own successes. Sometimes the real story isn't in the success but in the challenge they overcame to reach that succ...

Your logo represents your business and serves as a signpost to the world. It's not just a luxury – it's a necessity and a business asset. In fact, if you don't yet have a logo then you've got to ask: 'Are you serious about your business or not?' Here are 9 reasons to consider getting your own logo as soon as possible: 1. To promote your business. Logos project your business image to visitors, customers and future customers. A well designed logo says you're serious about what you do. 2. To give you credibility and professionalism. When prospects see your logo on your websites and social media, they associate that logo to your business and even begin to look for it. 3. To make you more memorable. A business name only goes so far in triggering memory. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. And a catchy business logo makes you and your business far more memorable. After all, what's the use of being seen if you're not remembered? Of two similar...

While there are many ways to make money online, the vast majority involve selling a product – be it yours or someone else's. But have you ever considered offering great content or software for free, and then allowing your visitors and fans to reward your good work through giving you donations? It's simple - you provide your visitors with the opportunity to say “thank you” through either monetary donations or buying you things that you want. This might not be the method to use if you're looking to make huge money, but it can be a lucrative source of extra income. And perhaps best of all, you don't need to feel you're pushing anything on your customers or asking them to buy more stuff they don't need or want. Visitors reward you when they choose to, and because they don't feel pressured, they can sometimes be even more generous than if you were trying to sell them the latest greatest product. Here are 8 tips on how to make the donation business model work for ...

You've likely heard of a technique called YouTube Traffic Hijacking. In a nutshell, it's finding YouTube videos that get a lot of views but don't display a URL in the more information section. You contact the video owner and offer to either buy the video outright or lease the “more info” section. You then insert your own URL that leads to a product sales page. Pretty simple, right? This is a viable, workable business model, but there are three catches. First, you have to FIND these videos. The videos you seek are getting hundreds of views a day and have an accumulated number of views in the six figure range, just to be sure they've got what it takes to continue to get more views. And they can't already have a URL listed for more info. Next, these can't be just ANY videos that meet the above criteria. For example, that video of cute kittens climbing the screen door isn't going to sell your traffic product. Maybe you can find an affiliate product that teaches ...
