Ways To Make Extra Money – Writing

One of the cool things I do on a daily basis is test different ways to make extra money online. See, there are a lot of people struggling without jobs but there are an even bigger segment that work a day job yet want to supplement their current income to afford the better things in life like vacations, living upgrades, and eliminating debt. I've used many ways to make extra money to pre pay my kids college tuition and even upgrade the ride I have.

Ways To Make Extra Money – Writing

One of the cool things that has popped up since the internet became mainstream is that there are so many people now that can make a pretty nice chunk of change just by writing online. This is one of the easier ways to make extra money because there is very little training outside of your own creative writing skills. If you have a passion and don't mind typing then writing online is a good way to get some cash pumping in.

One way I started was going to a product review site called epinions. There were one of the first places I noticed that would allow you to write product reviews and actually get paid on traffic that took action on your page. There are some guidelines to follow but generally nothing too strict and primarily for those NOT looking to use this for off page backlinks. If your just looking for ways to make extra money with absolutely no up front cash then writing on sites like epinions just makes sense. Now the returns will not be ground shattering but in the global scale of business there is so little up front investment that it doesn't matter as long as you can put in realistic expectations.

Epinions is a free site to join and there are NO referral commissions anymore. So you can click the link below if you want to link to my profile and see some of the things I wrote YEARS ago (November 2008 was last article I wrote for epinions) and still get paid a residual income from.

The pay isn't great but it's residual.

This was my first taste on leverage and working smarter. I gave myself a raise by working and writing.

Generate Leads

Wanna Generate Leads?

For the most part many have no clue how to generate leads. One might think spamming people all over the net about their business is a good way to do that. Or better yet buying them.

Look, I'm not saying buying leads are a bad way to build a business as I still today buy them. You just need to be careful on not buying BAD ones and keeping the cost and return in check. Instead, I want to focus on how to generate leads vs buying them outright.Generate Leads So we will touch on buying leads on another post.

Generate Leads Using Facebook PPC

If you haven't been through My Lead System Pro, Facebook PPC training is a must if  you want to get a giant step up on your competition. To check out the training below

Facebook PPC Training <–

This is the preferred method to generate leads today for a home based business. With the constant changes to Google PPC and how Yahoo and Bing merger really messed up the traffic I would only recommend Facebook PPC as a method to Generate Leads for ppc at this point. There are others and the returns generally won't be as large but if you had to focus on ONE I would say Facebook.

Now….

If your looking to Generate Leads on the cheap end….. (more…)

Why Do Businesses Fail Especially Online?

So I wanted to bring  you part 2 of Mr. Beistle's training on how he achieved success and he was diving into “why do businesses fail” concept.

If you missed my previous post on business building with Mr. Beistle's Here is Part One – The Golden Rule of MLM Recruiting

So….

Why Do Businesses Fail?

I briefly talked about this in previous posts but I wanted to put the entire training in it's entirety here.

Here is what Mr. Beistle had to say:

I know the title of this chapter is extremely harsh, and you probably don’t want to hear it. The good news is that I will show you how to avoid failure. So be sure to read every word of this chapter.

Now I’m sure you know how important following up with all of your prospects is so I won’t get too in-depth here. But the sad truth is that this is were the vast majority of networkers drop the ball mostly through no fault of their own.

Why Do Businesses Fail?

I’ve personally coached and mentored hundreds, if not thousands of people over the years, and because of it, I’ve gained tremendous insight into why people succeed and why the majority businesses fail.

The top reason why people fail is because they simply don’t market or advertise their business. Thankfully there’s a really easy solution to this problem – start marketing and advertising your business!

But it’s the second reason why do businesses fail that we’re really interested in. And sadly, it’s also one of the hardest to fix.

Reason #2 why people fail with their business is because they fail to follow up with their prospects properly. I’ve identified three main reasons why this happens. They are: (more…)
