Do You Have A PLAN For Your Business?

I’ve just read a really great post by Paul Evans,  someone whose expertise and business ethic I admire. I thought it would be appropriate to share it with you because I couldn’t have said it any better myself . . .

=========================

Making Plans
by Paul Evans
Nicheology

What about YOUR P.L.A.N.S.?

What is YOUR online business going to look like at the end of 2009?

P = Pinpoint Your Destination
—————————————————

Where are you going? What will it take to get there?

For example… One of the Nicheology members wrote me about her plan to use the resources and training on the site. She knows where she is going. She knows how she will get there. It’s a great plan! I’m excited about watching her progress.

What’s your destination for this year?

L = Leave Your Excuses Behind
————————————————-

“My product isn’t good enough.” “There’s too much competition.” “I don’t have any guru friends.” Whaaaaaah!!

(Sniff. Sniff. Wiping a tear.)

There are FAR TOO MANY people all too happy to provide a reason they cannot do something. Why they cannot make money. Why the entire internet marketing world is set against them.

Don’t be one of them (there are plenty). Write down all your “Yes” reasons and leave the whining to the majority.

A = Activate Your Avenue
———————————————-

You do not have to make money the same way others do.

I have an avenue. A format. A formula. A model. A method. Call it what you want. It works. Everyday I follow a simple online business ritual. Day in and day out. Nothing fancy. And it pays off big time.

What’s yours? What is your avenue? What type of online business do you want to build?

So many people do not know the answers to those questions. If you can answer them clearly and specifically, you’ll be amazed at the momentum you gain.

Nicheology

N = Navigate the Narrows
——————————————–

Take a few minutes and search for online business opportunities. (But don’t give in to the hype copy!) You’ll find hundreds possibilities. The masses are diving into the unknown daily. They see the through a wide angle lens. They see hope and riches.

Now pull back. Think for a moment.

What does it REALLY take to make money online? 3 things : 1. Traffic. 2. List. 3. Conversions. Just a little TLC.

That’s it. It’s the narrows. A narrow focus. Yet you don’t see a lot of people concentrating solely on those things. They get caught up in the latest fad. Buying the latest huge release without a clue of the real impact it might have.

Go narrow. Go simple. Win big.

S = Success is NOT an Accident.
—————————————————-

If you have been part of Nicheology or this profit letter for any length of time you are probably sick of me saying that. Well, I am not stopping.

Your success will be up to…. You.

You will not wake up tomorrow with money in your inbox without having done something. Either today or in the past. It doesn’t just happen.

The next couple of days I’ll spend with folks making on average $500K+ online a year. What’s weird is that it wasn’t a miracle. They all worked. Most work MUCH HARDER than they ever let people know.

There will not be one person in the room that I will look at and say, “Wow. He/She sure is lucky.” It’s not luck. And it’s not a mistake.

It happened through P.L.A.N.S. What’s yours?

Success is NOT an Accident!!!
Paul

P.S. There is absolutely no reason not to join the most valuable niche focused site on the web… Nicheology.  It’s flat out cheap compared to the value!

===============================

That’s some great food for thought, isn’t it?

And I love his point to “go narrow”. I’m finding that the more I ignore the “launch du jour” and focus on my own PLAN the more success I have. I’m also finding PLR content to be a tremendous time saver as well as an idea sparker.

Right now, Nicheology is celebrating its 5 Year Anniversary with new content, a new site design and loads of new updated training that can lead you along the path to real internet marketing success. That’s a long history of helping and training internet entrepreneurs. I encourage you to Click Here to check out what’s going on. It’s great stuff!

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2

NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite internet marketing mentors.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire

Pop quiz time.  What does “HTML” stand for?  Don’t know that one?  How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK,
one more chance.  Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate marketing…

** You don’t need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building a website!

* What in the world is HTML?  Or FTP?
* How much does the software cost?  And hosting?
* How do I upload files?
* Why isn’t it formatted correctly?
* Why don’t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult (even using templates) to get an attractive website in place.
And hiring a professional to do it for you is out of the budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to build a website.  You simply send visitors to someone else’s
professionally designed site through your affiliate link.

SIDEBAR:  Just in case you’re interested, HTML stands for “hypertext markup language” and is the coding
used to build web pages.  FTP stands for “file transfer protocol” and is the process used for moving files
from your computer to a website, or vice versa.

Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take advantage of the time and money invested by someone else
to develop the site.  Think about it:  when you promote an affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU.  You are the
one who is advertising the link, recommending the product, sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.

The professional site of someone else really represents you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked
through your link.

You get the benefits without the bother.

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to build a website.

“Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1″

NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite internet marketing mentors.

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give when it comes to not creating their own products to sell.
I’m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own products. You simply promote someone else’s already proven successful offer for a commission.

And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out…

** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **

As good as you may be, you don’t know everything!  Why try to create a product on every topic imaginable in your
market when you can earn just as much money by simply promoting someone else’s really good offer as one of your
profit streams?

That’s why I love affiliate marketing.

You don’t need to create your own products.

Increase Your Business and Income Through Speaking

If you fall into any of these categories or a host of others I could list, you may at times think that you could move ahead more in your career if your speaking skills were better.

Is PPC Marketing Right For You?

If you’re anything like me, you’re completely inundated with the “launch du jour” and all of the products that you hear about that can have you rolling in cyber-profits by next week.  If they’re all true, then why aren’t we all rich?

Good question.  There are many ways to make money online, and there are plenty of profits to go around for everyone.  Why, then are only some affiliates succeeding while others are failing?

Because the ones who succeed are remaining focused.  As affiliate marketers who are trying to make money online, you need to remember at all times what you’re trying to accomplish. Do not allow yourself to lose your focus, and become distracted from the core of your online business plan.  That’s what has happened to the affiliates who are struggling!

There are many ways to make money online; trying to work them all at once is a guarantee for failure because it causes you to lose sight of your goals.

Maybe you’ve decided that the best way for you to sell products and earn money is through PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising. PPC is a quick way to get traffic to your site. So why are you buying software to help you with list building?  You’re splitting your focus, and your business is hurting as a result.

If you’ve decided that PPC advertising is the way to go for your online business, then concentrate on that.  Learn everything you can about PPC advertising, buy products to maximize your PPC campaign.  Don’t get distracted by all the other forms of advertising out there until you’ve given your PPC advertising the attention it deserves and it is earning regular profits for you.

The problem that most affiliate marketers encounter when they’re starting out is that they get distracted by the sheer number of advertising options available to them.  List building one day, SEO the next, on to PPC and so forth.  They start out trying to understand their niche, get distracted by membership sites, and then that gets put on the back burner when they get this great email about how you can make a mint on Ebay.

All of this discussion begs the question:  what is your plan to make money online?   Out of all the different methods available, what do you think will work best for you?

If you do decide that PPC advertising is the way to go, then make a commitment to do it as thoroughly as possible.  Then, when the next interesting news about a great new product comes your way, stop and evaluate whether or not it will help you meet the goals that you’ve set for yourself.  If it doesn’t, then no matter how interesting it is, walk away, because it will just distract you from your goals.

So How Does PPC Kahuna Fit Into All of This?

Once you’ve decided what your goals are, and if you’ve decided that PPC advertising is right for you, then you need to find tools to help accomplish that goal.  And PPC Kahuna has a whole offering of tools to make your PPC advertising turn clicks into money for you.

PPC Kahuna has all of the resources to take you through the ins and outs of PPC advertising.  It helps you get started by finding your niche, picking your products, and setting up your sites.  Then you’ll also have access to the resources you need to market to your niche, develop your PPC campaign, and manage that campaign once it starts.

And once you’re established online and making money, PPC Kahuna can show you how to maximize your campaigns to increase your profit even more.

PPC Kahuna is unlike anything else available. It is an easy and comprehensive system that anyone can use.  It is about making real money online.

PPC Kahuna provides you with the tools and resources you need to make money online.  All you need to do is stay focused, and only spend time on things that will help you accomplish your goals.

I strongly urge you to check out PPC Kahuna for yourself.

Getting the Most From Google’s Placement Targeting

When marketers begin to use Google’s Placement Targeting, the number of available choices can be nearly overwhelming. How can you choose the Adsense publishers that will drive traffic to your site from among the thousands and thousands that are available?  And how do you do it for the best possible price?

Google’s Placement Targeting is a part of Google Adwords.  With Keyword Targeting you choose what search results you want your ads to appear in by selecting specific keyword sets, with Placement Targeting you can choose to have your Adwords ads displayed either in the search results or in the content of web pages (as Adsense ads). The advantage of Placement Targeting is that you can decide exactly where you want your ads to appear.  You could choose to have your ads appear on a website, a subset of a site (like a section of a site devoted to your specific topic), or an ad position on another product.  This way you can handpick web sites, and even specific pages of web sites, that you think will help to sell your product.

Anyone using AdWords Standard Edition can use placements.  You can even add placements to an existing Adwords campaign; simply click on the ‘Placements’ tab on the main page of the ad group.  There are four ways to identify placements: “list URLs”, “describe topics”, “browse topics” and “select demographics”.

You can use all 4 options when deciding the best locations for your placements.  With each search, up to 100 available placements will be listed, with the approximate number of impressions per day listed.  You can also refine your search by the type of ad you want to run by clicking on “Choose Formats”.  Select the formats and sizes that you want to use, and Google will refine the list to show only the sites with the selected formats available.

Google, however, does not provide the absolute best information for selecting where you want your ads to be shown. Wouldn’t you prefer to find sites that are showing up in the top 10 rankings of Google for specific “high traffic” keywords? This would assure you that your ads are being shown to targeted prospects who are visiting sites that you know get tons of traffic.

This is where the free tool AdWordsDigger comes into play!

This extremely powerful free tool allows you to enter as many keywords as you want. It will go to Google and find the top ranking sites for each keyword that are displaying AdSense ads. All you have to do is take the info they provide, pop it into your AdWords campaign and enjoy low cost and extremely targeted ads. You can download AdWordsDigger 100% free by Clicking Here.

Another option offered by Google’s Placement Targeting is whether to pay for the campaign using CPC (cost-per-click) or CPM (cost-per-thousand [ad views]; the “M” stands for the Roman numeral meaning “1000″).  While CPC campaigns have become more popular because you only pay for actual clicks on your ads, the price of CPC ads has skyrocketed in the recent years, especially for the more popular keywords.  A CPM campaign, where you pay a price per thousand displays of your ad, when used in conjunction with careful placement targeting, can be a cost-effective option.

The idea is that if you’ve carefully targeted the websites where your ads will  appear, your click-through rates will be much higher than average, making the CPM option (with lower costs because there are no guaranteed click-throughs) better for your campaign.  It is important to remember that you must constantly monitor and analyze the progress of your campaign to ensure that your CPM costs are, in fact, saving you money versus CPC.  If a site is not performing within the parameters you’ve set for your campaign, remove it. If a particular site is giving you a great click-through-rate, invest more impressions in that site.

Google’s Placement Targeting is a great resource if you want to make the most out of your Adwords campaign.  It is a valuable tool for anyone running an online business who wants to drive a high volume of traffic to their site for the lowest possible price.  The Placement Targeting system also allows you to run a CPM campaign to get click-throughs at an even lower rate than you’d pay for a CPC campaign.

Remember to download your free copy of AdWordsDigger to get the very best return on investment from Google’s Placement Targeting. Did I mention it’s free?
