Why You Must Put Up Your Own Website in 2014

This is the best time in history to take your business online. Thousands daily, besides following the general hype of social media, are picking up a smart phone as a mobile device of choice. The logical stop of those people, with time, is to seek out their personal interests through their mobile phone. In short, more people start to interact with products they care about, services, or brands online first.

If you are not online, then it is time to give online platforms for business serious consideration. Many of us are not friendly to numbers, even though there are lots of numbers to support this, and the easiest way to know where the dollars are going is to watch the behavior of the big investors.

The Multiple Roles Your Site Can Play

Whether your business exists solely on the internet or in a traditional bricks-and-mortar storefront, you will benefit from an online presence. Here are the multiple roles your site can offer your business. 

1.    Customers, potential employees or business partners and perhaps even investors can quickly and easily find out more about your business and the products or services you have to offer from your website.

2.    Providing a constant stream of fresh, compelling content is vital to branding your name and your business. You can't do this with a profile site like you get on LinkedIn or a page such as you get on Facebook. You need your own website where you can detail your services, your contacts, in the exact language you wish to use.

Engage Your Helpers to Succeed in Any Venture

I rarely write spiritual-ese even though I am a seriously spiritual person. But every so often I meet people who are so detached from the presence of Spiritual Help and Guidance that it worries me. I wonder how on the planet they expect to ever make it without the direction from their Navigation Tower. Please read on, this is not a piece telling you to go to Church or Mosque, etc… 

The truth about this life, dear reader, is that we are all sojourners. We came from somewhere and we are headed somewhere. I do not wish to engage anyone in what the definition of where we are going is according to the teachings of their religion. In fact, this piece is not about telling you where you are likely to go after this life or even where you should be on some day of the week. I leave that to religious leaders. Also, I am not going to give names to things that close this discussion to a particular religion. If you are discerning, you will be able to fit what I will share here to your faith. 

Five Common Mistakes Made By New Affiliate Marketers

You’ve just signed up for this fantastic new affiliate program. They have great products, free referral websites, training, pre-made ads for you to copy and the best compensation plan on the internet. This is the best affiliate program on the internet! Right? 

I mean, all you need to do is put a few ads out there, bang around on facebook or other social media sites, and viola! You are two sales away from being the next internet millionaire. Right?

That is the assumed picture. Before that metallic grey Range Rover and Condo with a Beach Front in Nyali becomes a reality, let me share with you a few mistakes many new affiliate marketers make that you’ll want to avoid.

Mistake One: Believing the Hype

No, no, no! This is not the hype sold to you by zealous internet marketers. You can see the language of marketers, what it will do to you, and how to avoid scams in article here.

This is hype sold to you by your own program; yes, the one’s meant to protect you are the ones who dupe you the best. Income projections come with every program on the planet, and they are just that; projections. It is possible for you to make as much as they say. It is NOT GUARANTEED that you will make as much as they say you will. 

Six Tips To Finding Well Paying Affiliate Programs

Affiliate Marketing programs online are a dime a dozen. And a simple search for ‘affiliate programs’ besides getting you to sites such as Click Bank, Commission Junction, Amazon, PayDotCom, and JV Zoo among others, will also yield hundreds of other offers.
The principle is that there are thousands of people launching new products online every day. People who create their own products set up affiliate programs too. They are looking for people to help them sell those products. Therefore the affiliate marketer will never lack a product and/or service to promote.
However, in the very magnitude of the options is the problem. There is a fine mix of good affiliate programs and really lousy affiliate programs out there. These six tips will help you sift some of the chaff out of the wheat.

1.    Does The Affiliate Program Offer Reasonable Commission Rates?

A paying affiliate program will offer anything between 25%-30% commission per sale. If it is lower than that, you need to look more critically at the turn-over potential of what you will be selling. Turnover means, if you are selling 10 products of $10 each per day, you make a lot more money than selling one product of $5 each per day. So if the product has the potential of getting tens of sales in a day, the lower commission levels make up for it.

Why Simply Paying to Join an MLM Will Not Make You Rich

I am an MLM junkie and I know it. Nothing makes me happier than being in the gossip mills describing the latest MLM in town. When I sit amongst network marketers, with all their bizarre behavior, I am at home. I recently sat in the company of seven people; five of us MLMers. Of the five, each was a member of a different MLM company.

I was mortified when by sheer bad luck, I think, the other two let out that they were not in any MLM. It was like watching a pack of hyenas get to work on a fresh carcass. It was both hilarious and horrifying to watch! The two were so bombarded with the different programs they could not tell their right ear from their left.

Online Money is About Providing Value Through Products and Services

From Brian Tracy, to Zig Ziglar, to our very own Chris Kirubi, all successful people agree on one premise; the way you think determines your results in life. The journey out of un-employment and financial struggle into better financial standards starts in the mind, not in the wallet.

It makes me shudder every time I meet yet another person who is looking for that magic-blue-pill to riches online. Online as anywhere else, the true successes are men and women who provide products and services to solve a human need or problem.

The real online money in Kenya will be made through the provision of goods and services promoted ethically through blogs and websites. It does not matter what makes you tick. If you are a freelance writer, create a blog or a website that attracts employers to you.

If you are a photographer, the same, if you are a designer, you like all things investment, whatever your thing, promote it with a website. There is nothing on the planet that cannot be turned into a value adding product or service with a blog.

Selling Your Own Product or Affiliate Marketing

There are two ways of making money online using your blog or website. Either develop your own products and market those, or can sell other people’s products and earn commissions against those sales. Affiliate Marketing and using your blog to sell goods and/or services is a trade almost anyone can employ online and make it work.
