Opportunities for Home Business

Archive for the ‘Home Business Opportunity’ Category

When I was just eight years old I joined the local Australian Rules  little league Under 10 side.  My coach must have been a mighty man.  We were all eight or nine.  He organized us to play to position and he taught us to play for the team.

Some of us struggled to win a possession in a game that inspired Joe Satriani to write a tune called Kill The Guy With The Ball, but we all worked for each other and played for the common good.

We came from fourth place to win the Grand Final and we did it because we were a team.  It’s funny, nearly forty years later I can remember the names of all my teammates, from our inspiring Captain Ross “Gutsy” Gear to the twentieth man (2nd reserve) Daryl Bath.

What I learned from Mr Warren, I carried through in every team that I’ve ever played for and coached.  We play for each other – there is one goal and we’re only as good as our weakest link.

I’ve played in successful teams at higher levels but none had the magic of that first premiership.

What I’m saying is that I hold the team concept very dear to me.  I believe passionately in people working together for a common goal and playing for each other.

So when I see Internet Marketing “teams” forming I’m interested in a curious sense.

Right now there are some heavy team marketing efforts.

They all concentrate on MLM products (now there’s a surprise) and on the face of it they’re very attractive specially to the struggling or new internet marketer looking for a quick and easy way to make some income.

Every one’s working for each other they spruik, every one works for the common good, no one gets left behind.

Remember the  team concept  is close to my heart.

I wouldn’t join an Internet Marketing team under any circumstances.

Here is why.

They’re MLM based – the very nature of MLM means that the “team” is giving greater benefit to the team leaders then to the people on the bottom.

Secondly the nature of MLM matrices means that for people to make serious money with them the matrix has to be filled down four, five or six levels.

Thirdly as the team grows, it needs more members to fill the funnel and while the team owners will argue that the recruiting is always the same, the truth is that its not, because no matter what, people lose intyerest, cancel memberships and drop away, leaving holes to be constantly filled in the matrix.

While this is happening people at the lower levels grow impatient and guess what?  They cancel memberships.

And so while there is heaps of hype, and at times it may feel like you’re the only one not swept up in the team hysteria, it’s almost certain that within twelve months the teams will have imploded under their own weight of false expectations.

ANd here is the other thing that perhaps concerns me more than anything.

MLM is a good marketing model as long as the product being offered gives real value.

A team marketing effort places no value on the product – it’s all about the income stream and that is scary spelled with a capital S.  The very nature of the marketing plan and the material attracts people likely to be attracted to Ponzi schemes.

I’m not sure of the legal ramifications of taking a quality product like Traffic Wave and simply marketing the pay plan without drawing attention to the real benefits that the product offers, but I sure don’t want to argue the point in court.

Far better to recommend products and services because they’re products are good then to be trapped in to selling a pyramid scheme.

Web hosting sites are the most essential element on line business.  Yet there are thousands of people looking to run and create an online business without this most basic tool.

Make no mistake – without a website you CANNOT succeed online.  Creating a professional looking website these days is extremely easy with WordPress and web hosting is extremely affordable.

Installing a WordPress blog is not difficult with any professional web-hosting company and is a critical step for most individuals looking to establish an online presence.

But which web hosting site should you choose?

This would be dependent upon your own needs and your personal business model.

I have written several times about GVO and it does have its attractions, as a business opportunity.   Make no mistake, GVO offers quality web hosting and a suite of online tools that makes it an attractive overall package.  However it is expensive in comparison to other web hosting providers and you need to weigh up the entire package of GVO its tools and business opportunity and compare it to other services.

Here are some web hosting companies  and a brief description of the services that they provide.

HOSTGATOR

Hostgator provide quality web hosting services starting from $4.95 per month.  Their reputation is sound and while no web hosting provider can claim 100% up time, they have a very strong reliability record.
They are the web host provider of choice of many Internet Marketing professionals.

Highly recommended  low cost option – perhaps the best web hosting for beginners.

HOSTMONSTER

Another highly regarded web host provider which is perhaps a more attractive option for people looking to host multiple domains.  Enjoys an excellent reputation and have a strong reliability record.

STARTLOGIC

Startlogic don't have the profile of the two hosting providers listed above but offer a cheap reliable hosting service worth considering.

SITE BUILD IT/SITE SELL

Much more than a web hosting service.  Site Build It takes you by the hand and teaches you how to construct a search engine friendly web site from scratch.  Site Build It provides you with strong education, quality tools and even a back linking service.  In many respects it is a one stop shop.  However, it has some limitations.  As far as I understand, Site Build It provides websites but does not provide blogging capability – nor does it enable you to build a membership site.

GVO

GVO again provides many more alternatives than a simple web hosting providers. Platinum membership provides unlimited hosting space on unlimited domains along with products like Easy Video Producer, Web conferencing, a learning academy and an autoresponder.  This is a good package for people looking to participate in network marketing, mlm or the make money niche. 

IM faceplate may be the very best innovation within the Internet Marketing /Make Money niche to arrive for some time.

I'm very excited about this.

Yes there are hundreds off social networking sites and there seems to be one popping up every time I switch my computer on – but this is genuinely different.

Some of the features that really impress me with this site are -:

• The ability to plug your blog RSS feeds directly into IM Faceplate
• The ability to plug your Youtube videos directly into IM Faceplate
• The Clickbank functionality mentioned in the video
• Tweet automation

You can check out what my Faceplate looks like by visiting My Faceplate profile

This is innovative, smart and very professionally out together and free to join.

You simply must be a member of this.

Just Join IM Faceplate and put some time into networking.  It will pay off.

Lead generation for your Home Business Opportunity will be the lifeblood of your business.

Anything that can give you targeted free traffic to lead generation sign up pages is worth taking a close look at.

Leads Leap is a free to join program that gives great value and with a little promotion (Preferably directly to your list – but it can be done directly) will ensure that your ads will be seen regularly by a growing list of business opportunity seekers.

This Leads Leap Tour video perhaps best explains exactly what Leads Leap offers

Essentially Leads Leap will display your advertisement across its network and through its targeted blog as well as directly to your downline 10 levels deep.

Now there are many programs like Leads Leap, and I confess that when I joined this program I dismissed it without giving it due consideration.   I don't have a lot of time to earn advertising credits , so I either like traffic to be organic, viral or I'll pay for it.   I dismissed Leads Leap as being a text ad type site without giving it the due regard it deserves.

The fact is that Leads Leap can give organic traffic through it's cool blog widget which I'm deliberately displaying here to demonstrate what it looks like and will be displaying on several of my blogs in the side panel.

Additionally Leads Leap offers many other great ways to generate free traffic including a great tool called the affiliate re-brander.  Just downloading this free tool , setting it up and giving it away will generate leads to your chosen lists or business opportunities as well as Leads Leap

This is one free traffic source that I highly recommend to you.

I revisited what was Graham Hamer's Profit Plan today and was totally non-plussed as to why I haven't being promoting it.

The Profit plan originally took shape in 2002 and was marketed through Clickbank with the slogan Guaranteed Profit or One On One Guru Training Until You Make A profit.

It did massive business and was the forerunner to Internet Marketing staples like the Traffic Jam, Profit Blaster, Profit Arena and the X Factor Ciphers,

Profit Plan resurfaced albeit in a different format and with a different slogan about two years ago.  I bought it and made a profit within twenty four hours.  I was at the time beginning to experiment with my own products and the downside of this was that I tended to push Profit-plan to the back of my marketing efforts and I never really made the most of its potential – my fault not the program's.

The plan is very simple – give away a free report – detailing a simple plan that will not only give give you the purchase price of the plan back in your pocket with your very first sale, but give you Master Resale Rights to 17 quality electronic products.  It's legal, takes absolutely no time to set up and it worked for me.

One of the fall backs that I saw with Profit Plan when it was produced was what I like to call "the Affiliate Silver Bullet fault" in as much as it  captured leads but I then had to manually load those leads into an autoresponder – it was for me, cumbersome, but many people would be grateful for the automated delivery and follow up associated with the report.

Having revisited the report, and with the benefit of two years more marketing experience, I was able to set up a simple squeeze page  that enables me to do my own follow up and migrate leads into my mailing list.

This adaption of the program makes Profit Plan a much more attractive proposition for me while the simple sales/squeeze page that Profit Plan generates would make it attractive to novice Internet Marketers.

As a home business opportunity Profit Plan makes good sense, taking very little time to set up, being based on sound business principles and giving the average Internet Marketer a good chance of making a profit.

PROFIT PLAN BONUS

In addition to the suite of products that Profit Plan offers, I have put together the following Bonus Package to sweeten the deal.

Lately there seems to be a load of gurus and eBooks announcing the death of Google and trumpeting the advantages of Social Media traffic.  I received three emails from one "guru" in the last 2 days on the subject and while I agree that the amount of visitors to sites like Facebook is staggering, and while this traffic presents opportunities to promote my home business,  I'm in no hurry to abandon my Search Engine Marketing strategies.  As for Pay Per Click, well, I don't do it on Google anymore, and i tried it on Facebook and I'm seriously underwhelmed.

Let's get one thing straight.

There is an enormous difference between traffic and targeted traffic.

Search engine traffic is laser targeted traffic, in as much as somebody looking for a specific answer to a specific problem has gone looking for that answer on a search engine (eighty percent of the time they use Google).  Facebook traffic (or Twitter, or My space or whatever the flavor of the day is) is another beast entirely.

People use sites like these to socialize, and connect.  They're not looking for answers they're looking to relax.  All my kids use Facebook extensively and if you examine what they're using it for, unless you have a product or service aimed at young adults/teenagers and you're prepared to pay for Facebook advertising, it beats me how you could possibly launch an advertising campaign that would deliver a reasonable return on Investment.

There is an argument used by network marketers that says sites like Facebook are great networking tools and I agree that they, but here's the rub.  Online networking is a skill that has to be learned and polished and it's very labor intensive, whereas SEO is a skill that has to be learned and polished, but once mastered guarantees regular traffic.

Perhaps Alex Goad in his eBook Affiliate Payload hit upon the best use of Facebook which involved the combination of CPA offers and the Facebook games that are so popular and it  is something that I have on a long list of nice to try ideas.

The bottom line is this – Social networking sites are very popular and have loads of traffic,whereas Google is a hugely popular  search engine that people go to when they want to "look something up on the Internet"  Social Media sites can't provide that service.

All of my planned marketing campaigns now start with my Search Engine strategy.  Everything else is an add on.

Reports of Google's impending demise are grossly exaggerated…..

Multiple Google Page One rankings Means Massive Home Business Opportunity

New Dominating Google by Mark Dulisse makes it possible!

First off, let me tell you that I have been an advocate of Mark's for over
12 months.  His service, responsiveness and knowledge far outstrip any
other Internet Marketing teacher/guru/expert that I've come across

Mark Dulisse's IM success story is so crazy that at first I really couldn't believe it.
Only after watching some of his instructional videos and seeing some of his affiliate accounts and hearing the genuine pride and excitement in his voice did I realize that this guy really had made the whole journey .  This single dad went from waiting in line for food handouts all the way to the TOP of Google.

I made a great decision several months ago to purchase membership to his IM Niche Formula 2.0 course and have been blown away by the depth of knowledge, and the level of support that Mark provides.  What really impresses me is that Mark provides so much support and feedback that you realize that this guy really wants you to have the success that he's had.

Now he’s released a new course to share how he’s been quietly DOMINATING
Google as a 5 figure affiliate, and he holds nothing back:

Get Dominating Google here!

One of the things it seems like people have been looking for online FOREVER is really good SEO knowledge that:

•  Is NOT too expensive -some courses run in the thousands per MONTH! That hardly makes Search Engine  traffic free
•  They want a teacher who is like THEM.  Not an egghead who knows the science of search but less than nothing about  business- and I can tell you Mark is a genuine guy – who understands business and is really trying to     help people
•  And NOT a "Hissing Sid" junky fraud-act from some slimy sales weasel who is only selling re-bundled outdated(and most likely illegal) SEO because he knows people out there are desperate for it.

At last someone who NOT ONLY who has MASTERED dominating Google’s page one as top-selling affiliate, but has REVERSE ENGINEERED several UNIQUE aspects of getting rankings has emerged to really tell you what it takes to get page one rankings and take your home business opportunity to stratospheric heights.

Seriously, his techniques are almost unfair!

Why do I say that?    This isn’t just a handful of the same old techniques that every wannabe SEO expert trots out.

This isn’t just one or two strategies.  This isn’t even just one single way to get better rankings.  Mark’s not satisfied with getting to page 1.  He’s not satisfied for you to get just that either.

Mark’s strategy is to secure MULTIPLE top listings for MONEY MAKING keywords that are ONLY ever typed in by people who are looking to BUY and buy RIGHT NOW.

They already want whatever they’re looking for  they just need a little bit of justification to convince themselves WHY they need it

That’s where Mark’s methods come in.  No matter where people look, he’s got page after page just  WAITING for them to find.

But HERE’S where Mark’s method differs from your average Black Hat Affiliate marketing bum.  It’s NOT about selling people junk.  It’s about helping people make informed buying decisions.

It’s about helping them not just find what they were looking for, but leading them to buying the RIGHT SOLUTION for their problem  and that’s how Mark went from broke to pulling in FIVE FIGURES a MONTH!  
NO BLACK HAT.  NO SCAMMING. 

Do you want to succeed online?

This is the blueprint, I've watched Mark's star rise over the past eighteen months.  He has the big dogs falling over themselves hoping that he'll promote their product.  His methods work.  Pure and simple.

Do you want to do it ALL with FREE traffic from Google?

Most importantly  do you want to make your fortune by HELPING people so you can sleep with a clear conscience?
 
Now you can, and Mark’s course Dominating Google will make it affordable.

Mark takes it step by little tiny baby step for the beginners:

• Demystifying Google’s Search Pages, what it takes to get to page 1, to stay on page 1, and to start taking over ALL the spots
•  All the tools you need not just to work your SEO magic, but even better measure and IMPROVE over time, climbing over your competitors.
• The EXACT blueprint you need to carve your website into a lean, mean, Google-dominating machine, even if  you’re starting from SCRATCH!

And even if you think you’re an SEO master I guarantee Mark’s got some angles in his bag of tricks that you never even knew were POSSIBLE!

• Dominating Google Verticals like Google Local, Video, Images, News, Shopping  Everything Google offers, you can DOMINATE!
• Dominating Google with RSS, Mobile SEO, Universal Search, Social Media,and of course, blogs!

But don’t make the mistake of thinking of the above two bullets as add ons  ALL of Mark’s SEO knowledge is part of an entire integrated system.

That means that this isn’t a list of 100 different ways you might succeed at getting one ranking one time.  Thisis the real deal – a gigantic interlinked system that creates a power all of its own.

Others have attempted this before, but by cutting corners, they get only SHORT TERM successes.

That doesn’t stop people from teaching slapdash methods to others.  After all, bad SEO even SEEMS to work sometimes But again, this is where Mark’s training truly comes to the fore.

The final part of the course covers in detail how to avoid these hidden SEO Traps and Fatal Mistakes! If  you’ve been around the internet marketing scene for even a little while, you know that-:

You don’t have to be a bad guy for Google to think you are and start punishing you like one!  They call it the Google SLAP or if you’re feeling nicer, the Google DANCE!

The Google Slap is like a death warrant for your site, get left out of Search Engine rankings  and you're left scraping the bottom of the barrel for a trickle of traffic.  Don't follow a SEO Black Hat conman, follow SEO knowledge you can trust.

The basis of what Mark teaches is bread and butter SEO that makes you MONEY.  This stuff is what fed his kids and kept a roof over his head when he was at his lowest

And he kept doing it because it was working.  And now he’s got more money just sitting in his PayPal account doing nothing than some people reading this made last year.

I urge you to see what Mark is offering  and DECIDE TODAY if it’s for you! 
It’s that simple.

Get Dominating Google here!

I’m not going to insult your intelligence with a fake scarcity ploy and say that this price is temporary, or  there are only so many seats

I WILL say that JUST ONE BONUS that I'm currently using included with this course has been selling like hotcakes at $97.  To get ALL of this training  ALL of this support  ALL of these resources for THIS price seems insane.
 
Mark’s not insane – he's just very good at what he does and Dominating Google in some ways is the ultimate testimony to his methods and his success

Not just on his own sites, but his students dominate.  His JVs and vendors dominate.  And now it’s your turn. 
For WAY LESS than any other course as comprehensive.  For WAY LESS than hundreds of less competent gurus. You get WAY MORE that what you’re going to spend.  And it’s sad to say, but that’s RARE online today.  Don’t hesitate to check this out.

Only if you want to quit messing around and start DOMINATING Google.  But of course,if you just want to tease Google, or maybe bypass Google altogether you should be fine with any old SEO education.

Dominating Google a new quality SEO product from Mark Dulisse and Chris Freville is due for launch on June 15 2010 and this is sure to be one huge opportunity for online business owners looking to raise their Search engine rankings in any niche.

As part of the prelaunch, Mark has developed a great SEO  "instant results"   Plugin that automates much of the tedium in the SEO process.

Here's a brief summary of what it does

1.It fully automates a tedious "advanced" SEO task that most EXPERTS don't have time to implement, much less newbies…

2. Just by plugging it in and leaving it alone, your rankings in Google will improve, bringing you more traffic…

3. And the plugin displays your actual rankings and shows the hands-off improvement over time…

4. Not to mention the "value added" SEO Suggestions feature that gives you a "hit list" of even more valuable SEO pluginsyou can use to get bigger, better results…

5. AND you get it just for submitting your  email address…

If you are interested in improving your search engine rankings this is one plug in you need.

Go to Dominating Google Plug in right now and take advantage of Mark Dulisse's expertise

Confidential Conversions nearly slipped under my guard – just as well that it didn't.

Confidential Conversions released by Phil Mansour lifts the lid on cheap traffic sources that make CPA and affiliate marketing much more affordable.

If you have spent ant time at all trying to master Google Adwords, you will be well aware that you can pay outrageous sums of money per click.  Google hold all the Aces and the struggling Affiliate marketer has absolutely no chance to create a profitable Pay Per Click campaign.

Four years ago theplaying field wasn't exactly level, but everybody had at least some chance of making money with a well planned Adwords campaign.

Phil Mansour is a super affiliate. His name is regularly close to the top of Affiliate leader boards on major product launches.  He has established credibility.

Confidential Conversions lifts the lid on Phil's traffic sources.  He doesn't use Google and he steers away from Facebook (I have to say I know why- they've got more rules than the Australian Tax Office).

If you are serious about making a splash in Affiliate marketing you need to check this out – priced very reasonably with $75 worth of PPC ads offered to offset the price, Confidential Conversions represents a legitimate home business opportunity.

Legitimate Home Business opportunities come in many shapes and forms, so when I received an email last week from Nick Oba, the developer and former owner of a unique article content site called Qondio (started life as Qassia) promising to release a new program aimed at people looking to make money from home, I was intrigued.

Qondio is one of my favorite sites, providing me back links to my websites every time I provide short pieces of "intel" on any subject.  It has a proven track record and an active community of writers, it is not however, a business opportunity, but rather a means of generating traffic.

So my interest was pricked pretty much straight away when Nick alerted me to his new program which he  tentatively called Locust Swarm (promising that the program would generate so much interest that people would be swarming like locusts all over it)

Today I got the opportunity to join and I have to say that I am very impressed with this.

Fortitude in some respects, has been produced as a response to the content factories designed to capture search engine traffic without actually providing quality articles.  Think programs like Constant Content, Demand Studios and Associated Content which pay writers to produce short largely meaningless articles that are keyword rich but do nothing to enrich, or empower the reader (or for that matter make them think) 

Fortitude wants quality content and it wants content provided by its community, voted for by its community.

That's where the home business opportunity comes in.

Fortitude will pay writers between $10 and $100 for articles/poems or essays that make there front page.

It doesn't stop there.

Fortitude's affiliate program is quite outstanding
 

• For each user successfully referred on or before May 31, 2010, receive $16.00.
• For each user successfully referred on or before June 4, 2010, receive $14.00.
• For each user successfully referred on or before June 7, 2010, receive $12.00.

Residual Rates

You will be paid $1 in instant cash for every piece published on the Front Page by any user you referred to Fortitude, for life. Wow! The residual payments are not locked and can be withdrawn instantly. The minimum withdrawal is just $5.00.

All payments are made via paypal.

The obvious question is -Is this sustainable?

Let's consider what Fortitude is doing.

It is charging a very small fee for full membership ($23.98 for 12 months membership) which allows you to submit articles, review content  etcetera.

This fee will pay for any referral fees and leave some cash over for running costs.

Additionally, Fortitude will sell advertising to interested parties.  I have reviewed there advertising pages within the membership area and they are aiming at high ticket advertisers.  Ultimately, as with all magazines and publications – they will stand or fall on their ability to generate advertising revenue -hence their willingness to pay for quality well written articles.  

My Verdict

Nothing is certain in the world of online publishing.  Fortitude Magazine is a bold attempt to create a legitimate online business that gives a legitimate business opportunity to opportunity seekers while trying to create a quality publication. 

As with any program there is a risk of failure, however, this is based on a sound business model, has an owner/developer with a proven track record and makes good business sense.

The risks are minimal ($24 per year) and the potential earnings either by contributing content or by referring others to the program could be quite lucrative.

I have joined and recommend that you do so too
