How to Grow a Money Tree

By Robert Clever on April 13, 2023 in Blog

It’s said that money does not grow on trees, but I think you can grow it on a much better thing! You will have to create your own website to give your money tree a place and a home to grow. Here are some basic steps for creating your own website:

Pick a domain name. Make sure the name relates well to your website information. If you can, make it short and easy to remember.
Create your website using WordPress, there are many videos that will help you do this.
You will need to sign up for a hosting account to get your website online.

Next, you will need to plant the money tree seed by developing your product so it can grow:

The fastest and easiest way to create a product to sell on your new website is to create an information product (e-book, audio, etc.). It’s very low cost or free to create, and everything is automatic and electronic. That means there is no overhead and no products to ship!
You may also want to consider borrowing some seeds while you make your own. You can do this but signing up with other companies that sell information products and selling their products for a commission. This is a great way to get started and test the markets to see what’s selling. You also build relationships with companies and that very well could be a marketing advantage after you finish your product.
Finally, you will need to nourish your tree by watering it with traffic.

There are three main ways to get traffic to your website

You can buy traffic through sites like Google. With this method, you pay each time someone searches for your keywords and click on the link to your site. Through Google, you will be paying $.05 for each click and up.
You can email you mailing list you made over time. Send out a promotional email and get your previous traffic coming back. Just be careful not to send out too many, or they will become annoyed and turned off to all your other emails.
Partner up with your competition. You can get your competitors to send out your promotional emails by offering them a commission. Your competitors can become one of your best assets!

Maintain your tree by watering it with plenty of traffic for easy traffic try this, and give it plenty of love by updating your material! Follow these easy steps and your money tree should be ready for harvest in no time.

Best Wishes!

Dare To Be Different!

By Robert Clever on April 8, 2023 in Blog

In order to grow your internet business, one of the most overlooked strategies is adding value to your site, product, or service.

Modern technology and the internet allow anyone to offer a little extra that nobody else does, and usually at no additional cost.

Here are some reasons why this is a good business practice.

Profits will increase if you do this!

The next step is to understand what value addition is!

Value adding is giving surprise high quality and useful gifts.

Giving your customers something they can’t get from your competitors.

We are promising the world and delivering the universe with it.

It’s about taking care of your clients and providing them with what they need and want, when and where they want.

Now let’s look at the different ways we can do this.

When you receive a free gift from someone you didn’t expect, do you remember them?

Answer: Yes, most of the time.

How can we do this?

Look at the example below for an idea!

If you subscribe to a newsletter or ezine, what do you expect?

You expect to get what you subscribed for, right?

Now imagine that you subscribed to a newsletter that distributes information about Poodle breading in France, and when you open the confirmation email you find you’ve also received a free ebook containing 20 poodle grooming tips and Grandma’s secret poodle pampering techniques. (a book that normally sells for $29).

Wouldn’t that make you more likely to open and read the next issue and the next etc?

That’s one simple example, but where do you get the ebook from? You make it! If you are distributing a poodle breeding newsletter, you might know something about grooming, or know some people that could help you put together the necessary information. Then you can wrap that up in an ebook cover and then send it around to a variety of sites that will post it for you for free and you can sell it on your own site if you have one. (I can see that there are several more articles just on making e-books, posting them on other people’s sites, and setting up a shop front.)

Back to the Poodles! So you can see that by offering this free gift you have achieved several things.

You have developed a product (at no cost to you) that you can sell and make a profit on.
You have used that product to increase the chances of your new subscriber opening your next email.
You have promoted your site/service to other internet marketers that you may wish to do a joint venture with at some time.

Another way to add value for less effort is to offer a 110 percent guarantee instead of 100 percent.

Another is to make your 20 tips into 30 or more etc, get the idea? It’s all just a matter of finding ways that you can give more.

The more you give the more you will receive.

I sincerely wish you good luck and happiness

Don’t Stop Short of The Gold

By Robert Clever on April 4, 2023 in Blog

According to Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich, a man named R. U. Darby and his uncle were caught up in the gold rush’s “gold fever.”.

As soon as they shipped their first car of ore to the smelter, they realized they had found one of Colorado’s richest gold deposits. Excitedly, they continued digging, but the ore vein disappeared.

After repeatedly digging, they failed to find the vein again, so they gave up and sold their equipment.

The man who bought the machinery realized random digging was not the best way to find the vein. He called in a mining engineer and had him make some calculations.

What contributed to Darby and his uncle’s failure was their lack of knowledge about “fault lines” and their neglect to consider alternatives. With his expert knowledge, the engineer was able to predict that the vein of gold could be found three feet from where the Darbys quit digging, and that’s exactly where it was.

Millions of dollars worth of gold were pulled from the mine by the man who decided to not accept easy defeat and to bring in someone else who had specialized knowledge he didn’t.

In this case, success is often just beyond what seems to be your greatest obstacle.

Welcome failure and use it as a measuring stick.

When you’ve been defeated, look for a lesson to learn. What do you need to change in your approach, your mindset, and your environment?

Using a modern day example, I’ve been working with a personal trainer for several months. During our first few sessions, he asked me to do what I thought was completely unrealistic.

I would have allowed temporary defeat and a limited mindset to keep me at the level I had set for myself. he thought bigger and taught me techniques that allowed me to push harder.

I translated this lesson into my business thinking and ask that you consider it as well.

The only limits are those you create in your mind. Defeat is merely a produced result. Measure the result, change your approach and continue in your efforts.

Can any Tom, Dick, and Harry Start A Home Business?

By Robert Clever on April 3, 2023 in Blog

First of all, my apologies to anyone who is offended by the title of this article.

I’ll get back to your question now. Is it possible for every Tom, Dick, and Harry to start a home business?

I understand that you may have a different viewpoint than mine. The purpose of this article, just like that of a candle, is to provide some light on home business.

The answer is that “YES” everyone can start a home business. It does not matter where you come from or what education level you have. It is possible for Tom, Dick, and Harry to start a home business.

However, not all Toms, Dicks, and Harrys will succeed at home businesses. This is where most people fail.

For a home business to be successful, what do you need? In order to be successful at home business, you must possess certain qualities.

Can any Tom, Dick, and Harry Start A Home Business?

Listed below are some qualities that will help you maintain and grow your home business:

People who run home businesses are careful with their money.

It is always clear to them how much money they have. The price and value of things are known to them, so they can recognize a bargain when they see it. They are able to maintain their home businesses because of that.

The majority of home business owners earned money when they were teenagers – babysitting, mowing lawns, delivering newspapers, sacking groceries, etc. From here, they gained patience that helped them grow their home businesses.

There is a competitive nature in home business owners.

Many were active in sports and other competitions in high school and college. Others aimed to achieve good grades, and earn the respect of their parents and teachers and earn the respect of their teachers. This quality is very important in a home business.

Home business owners practice the old adage: “The early bird gets the worm.” They sleep and eat enough to stay energetic but don’t spend time on non-productive activities. This allows them to focus on growing their business.

Home business entrepreneurs who succeed are risk-takers and trust their hunches. Taking risks can be small first steps, like placing your first ad in a mail-order publication. Starting or growing a home business may be impossible without this quality.

They have a knack for home business.

The people in this group are constantly thinking of new ideas for making money or increasing their home business. They are not afraid to implement these new ideas.

Home business entrepreneurs tend to be lone wolves rather than a social butterfly.

This is one of the reasons why many entrepreneurs are attracted to home businesses, and mail-order businesses. They prefer a solitary work environment (home business).

A successful home business owner is usually a person of honor.

Handshakes and promises are their basis for doing business. It is common for them to form strong relationships with others who share the same work ethic.

Home business owners set aside time for leisure activities and family time. Work is their primary form of relaxation, but downtime and family time are important to them as well.

The majority of home business owners do not retire. Even when they think they’re ready to retire, they always jump back in with a new project or get an idea they just can’t ignore.

Home businesses that succeed are run by professionals. They operate just like they would in an office building in a major city, whether they work from their bedroom, kitchen table, or a modern, well-appointed home office. During work, they don’t let outside influences distract them.

Generally, successful home business owners have high energy, feel self-confident, set long-term goals, and view money and financial security as a measure of accomplishment. In order to be successful, they continuously solve problems, take risks, learn from their failures (both their own and others), take the initiative, accept personal responsibility, and use all resources available to them. Home business owners who succeed compete with themselves and believe that success or failure lies within their control.

Hopefully, this article will be helpful to anyone who wants to start a home business.

Keep in mind that everyone can start a home business, but what differentiates successful home business owners from failures are outlined above. Good luck.

How to Raise Money for Product Creation

By Robert Clever on March 26, 2023 in Blog

Here’s a sneaky little underused tactic for making money before you even create your product: Decide what your product is going to be and write an outline for it. From this, create a list of bullet points that presell the product.

Now using these bullet points, offer your upcoming product to your list as a Beta test.

Tell your list:

The product is being created right now
They will get the product the moment it’s finished – expected delivery date is ___
They are getting a killer deal because you want and need their feedback
They are your beta testers. If it’s software, they will look for bugs. If it is written material, they will let you know about typos, what they think should be added, etc.
Once you get their feedback, you will fix any bugs, add what’s missing, fix typos, etc. and send them the finalized, polished version.
You will then offer the product to the public for a significantly higher price than they paid.

Not only does this give you some money up front to work with – it also provides you with valuable feedback you can use to make your product even better than you originally planned. Guaranteed a handful of your beta testers will give you suggestions you never would have thought of by yourself – suggestions that can greatly increase your sales later.

In fact, the feedback aspect alone makes this technique well worth doing. One caution: Do not be tempted to give away your Beta product – 9 out of 10 people you give it away to will never get back to you with feedback because they have nothing invested. When you charge something, even if it’s only a paltry sum, the number of users who give you feedback will greatly increase.

The one exception to the previous rule is people you personally know, like friends and JV partners. Because you already have a relationship with them, they don’t need to financially invest in order to feel vested in your success.

Special bonus for using this technique: Ask your Beta testers for testimonials you can use in your sales material.

Find a need – fill a need

By Robert Clever on March 6, 2023 in Blog

A business venture of any kind involves customers. It doesn’t matter how you start a business – it doesn’t matter what time it’s on the clock – without creating an ongoing relationship with a customer (or a series of customers), you stand a very slim chance of becoming successful over the long run.

When you were growing up, you had needs. You were hungry, so your parents fed you. You were cold, so you were given clothes to wear. You needed support and encouragement, and your family and friends supported you and gave you the love and social interaction that we as humans need. So, how is this relevant to your business?

In one sentence, here it is.

If you are not satisfying a need, you will make little to no sales – period

Whenever you start a business, you can do a lot of research on the web to find categories, ideas, and products. Depending on how many times a certain keyword search or phrase was used, you can figure out how many people searched for a certain piece of information. Overture Yahoo! Keyword Search, which is at the following URL, is one of the most popular and well-used sites for this.

https://www.semrush.com

Just type the keyword or phrase. You will be presented with the results for the previous month. It searches the Yahoo search engine. Plus a whole lot more.

What this tool can do for you Rewrite or remove outdated articles. Create detailed task descriptions. All you need to start working is to add a note or create a task for a piece of content. and a lot more. With these functionalities, you’ll always be aware of the progress of your website’s content.

It is also a great idea to ask your customers what they need. This can be done in person, over the telephone, by email, or by mail. This works for all types of businesses – both online and offline. You can also ask other questions that will help you in growing your business. Questions such as what products they would prefer, how much they would pay for them, and how they would go about finding information for those products. You can use this information to develop your business and marketing plans.

There are many misconceptions about starting, growing, and expanding a business. Some of the stages are challenging, but what really matters is whether you’re meeting the needs of your customers – whether you’re making sales or not. In that case, your next step should be to let your customer know you exist.

Finding out what needs they have and filling them will lead to a product that they will be interested in.

You can boost your sales with these 10 highly effective strategies.

By Robert Clever on February 23, 2023 in Blog

The following are 10 simple yet very powerful ways to increase your sales significantly:

You should follow up with the customer after you make your first sale by sending them a “thank you” email and include an advertisement for the other products you sell. You could follow up with them regularly. In order to build a relationship with your customers, you should keep in constant touch with them.
Offer your customers a few additional related products on your order page. They can add these to their original order.

You can turn one sale into three if you tell your customers that if they refer four customers to your website, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price.

Give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply your sale.

Then you could sell reprint and reproduction rights. You could include an advertisement on the product for other products you sell. You could sell the reproduction rights and back end products.

You can cross promote your product with other businesses products in a package deal. Include an advertisement for other products you sell and have other businesses sell for you.

Include a coupon for your other related products when you ship out or deliver your product. This will entice them to buy more from you.

Provide your customers with a catalog of add-on products to the original product. This could include upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product, they will purchase the additional features.

Sell gift certificates for your products. When the recipient cashes in the gift certificate, you’ll make sales. They might also buy other products from your site.

You should give your customers freebies when they order. These freebies should contain your ad on them. Examples are bumper stickers, ball caps, t-shirts, etc. This will allow others to see your ad and place an order with you.

These powerful strategies can be implemented immediately, which is one of the best things about them. As I said, they are easy to use but could result in a substantial increase in your conversion rate and/or buy rate, which is the ultimate goal. It is very important to make your customer/prospect feel special and to provide them with additional value-added items that will keep them coming back to your business.

The success of Internet millionaires is not achieved by luck of the draw. They know the secrets to success, which if implemented will make you successful in your Internet business.

A millionaire knows two kinds of secrets, external and internal. We will go over these secrets in depth in order to help you become a millionaire online.

First, let’s look at the external secrets that Internet millionaires have in their tool kit.

Internet Millionaire Secret #1: Internet millionaires recognize that strategy is the foundation of any marketing plan. It is imperative to have a marketing strategy and not just jump into marketing techniques. Since consumers have choices now, we no longer need to use mass advertising. Using mass marketing techniques without first strategizing about the state of the market would have been a waste of valuable time and money.

Internet Millionaire Secret #2: Internet millionaires are not generalists. In general, niche markets are taking hold in the business market because customers have more choices in where to buy their products. They sell their products and services to specific niche markets.

Internet Millionaire’s Secret #3: Find untapped markets and grab them. Find people in your market who have not been able to get your product in the past. In untapped markets, you don’t have to deal with competitors, so marketing costs go down. Moreover, you will be able to build a rapport and trust with your customers by doing so.

Internet Millionaire Secret #4: The backend strategy you choose is crucial to your success.

You can brand yourself for a profit, but you can’t take a break because you have to make all the decisions. On the other hand, branding your value sells your expertise and not your time, whereas branding your value does.

Internet millionaire’s secret #7: Don’t work alone; create a team of marketing, business, mentors, and accountability individuals to support your business venture. It is always better to have two heads than one, so you can discuss ideas and strategies for your business.

Internet millionaires also have internal secrets. An Internet millionaire has self confidence and believes in their product. They are able to make decisions quickly. They have learned the correct information and modeled others that have proven successful. A major secret of Internet millionaires is that they persevere and never give up despite obstacles that cross their path regardless of their job. They realize that their job does not define who they are.

As part of their overall marketing strategy, some business owners decide to launch an affiliate marketing campaign. Web affiliate marketing is usually only part of a company’s marketing strategy, but some businesses choose to rely solely on it. By doing this, we are able to save money while still gaining valuable advertising and earning additional profits.

Two times a home-based online business becomes more successful, however, it is recommended to be more proactive and combine web affiliate marketing with other types of internet marketing, such as placing banner ads and orchestrating email marketing campaigns. In this article, we will examine web affiliate marketing and explain why it is so popular and how it can be effectively used.

READ THIS: If you are truly serious about how to start a highly profitable web affiliate marketing campaign online.

A web affiliate marketing campaign is essentially a situation where other website owners place ads for your business on their websites. These website owners are known as affiliates. It is crucial to understand how this type of marketing works. Affiliates are generally given code for your banner ad to place on their websites & given freedom to promote their own websites as they see fit. By directing visitors to your website through the banner ad, they are also promoting their own website and attracting attention to yours.

Affiliate marketing is attractive because the affiliate is only paid when he achieves a desired result. This means the online business owner doesn’t have to pay the affiliate unless he succeeds. Whether you generate traffic to your website, make a sale, or even have the web user register or complete a survey, success may be defined as generating traffic to your website.

Affiliates are generally compensated based on the cost per click, the cost per lead, or the cost per sale they generate. In most cases, cost per click & cost per lead are paid in the form of a flat fee for each time a web user clicks through a banner ad on the affiliate’s website or takes a specific action after clicking through. Affiliates may be awarded a flat fee or a percentage of a sale based on the agreement between the business owner and affiliate.

Using web affiliate marketing effectively requires actively seeking out affiliate marketers who have proven to be effective at promoting home-based online businesses. Most online web affiliate programs are open to anyone with a website & it is not necessarily harmful to allow those who are not knowledgeable about marketing to run your banner ad but it is much more worthwhile to find affiliates who are proficient and generate traffic to their own website. The more visitors they receive each month, the more likely it is that visitors clicking on the affiliate banner ads will be interested in your website.

The design of your banner ads can also make or break web affiliate marketing. You should take care to develop banner ads that appeal to your target audience & remember that web affiliate marketing is viewed in the same way as other forms of marketing do. In order to develop an appealing advertisement, you need to take into account everything from the colors of your ad to the font size and style.
