When You Reach The Finishline, Start A New RacePosted by Bonnie Holscher on January 4th, 2010

With the year 2009 at its end, many are evaluating and re-evaluting the resolutions, progress and the accomplishments of the year gone by.  Some  entrepreneurs did not reach their goals for whatever reason.  The internet marketing business requires time and effort unlike a nine to five, brick and mortar job.  So some got a little discouraged when the economy took a nose dive and the world around them began to fray or fall apart. 

Some of us reach our goals and experienced dreams that came true.  But the buck does not stop here.  If you are in the numbers of individuals that did acquire success in your endeavors and reach your finishline, now is the time to start a new race.  On the internet as with many other types of business that delivers great success, we are always in training for the next level.  A longer race, a higher mountain, a deeper sea or whatever your heart chooses to call it.  None the less, it is not over as opposed to a new beginning.  Another step up on your staircase to success, which by the way is a journey and not a destination.  Your reached goals are a destination that take you to the next opportunity to grow. 

So with 2010 here and waiting for your next move, the first move you need to make is to determine where you want to go by New Years Eve next year.  Your goal list must include your action list.  Making a list of goals will not get you to your dreams and suitable lifestyle.  The action you take to get there is the fuel that makes your vehicle (goals) advance.  Decide how much time and money will you invest to continue training and learning the most current technology and information.  And last but not least at all, is what will your celebration look like?  I am looking forward to traveling with you on that journey for the next amazing year!

Retweeting On Twitter Is A Useful Tool To Build Stronger Relationships And Trust For Your FollowersPosted by Bonnie Holscher on October 11th, 2009

When I first got started on Twitter, I had no idea what a RT or retweet was let alone how to do it.  I would see them and read thank you s for them but was clueless until I began to pay attention and ask some questions. So what is a retweet and what is the purpose.

A retweet or RT as you will see it is someone who repeats a post that someone else wrote and gives them the credit for the tweet by putting RT in front or the writers username.  Sometimes it is a quote or saying that someone likes or it is a product that is worthy of a repeat to the world of social networking.  There is an advantage to having someone retweet your post.  This allows your information to go to their entire network as well as your network which gives you a broader reader base. 

When you retweet a post, it shows appreciation for the information and creates a basis for future relationships with the people involved.  These people will watch your information more and pass it on when it is appropriate.  By retweeting someones material you are also placing value on the post by acknowledging the content and any links that the post may have. 

Also by using the retweet option, you begin to build a basis for your own brand.  Make sure when you retweet, that the information is good information and not just links to junk and other spam type advertising.  This builds a loyalty and trust for your followers when they know you are passing on great and relevant material. They will also trust your links to whatever it may be that you are promoting or content on your website.  When you are courteous and respectful you will find that there are more followers and more traffic to your websites which is a great recipe for success.

Learn An Understand The Importance Of Building A List to Grow Your BusinessPosted by Bonnie Holscher on September 18th, 2009

For many who begin their journey into online marketing, list building can be confusing and not understood properly.  I did not realize when I got started how important my list was and how to use it to build my business.  The truth of the matter is, that without a list there are few in which you can market to.  And the ability to create and attract traffic to your website or blog can be a bit challenging. 

Your list is those people who are interested in what you are offering and in what information that you are providing.  If you are an affiliate marketer, these are also the people whom you will market the products and services that have helped you build your business or people that you follow for their expertise.  Once you have created a product or service of your own, your list is the lifeline to the internet and thousands of other possible visitors to you blog or website. 

It is so important to provide great information and tips or suggestions as well as purchasable materials to add value for your followers to use in their businesses.  Sometimes just a note of encouragement or acknowlegement to let them know that they are appreciated is a welcome for many who receive your email.

n autoresponder is the most common way to build your list and stay in touch on a regular basis.  I use an autoresponder system that allows me to have several different websites feed into one location for easy access.  The Incredible Shopping Cart has helped me to change my business from minimal exposure to contact with many many amazing people.  I share the products and services in the form of affiliations that have assisted me in building my business.  Sometimes I share books that I have read or seminar events that I have gone to or am going to attend in the process of continuing my education.  You do not need an extremely huge list to create an income and help others along the way.  Remember not to abuse the information that your list provides to you and provide an opt out in case there are a few who would like to stop receiving your information.  Once in a while they return and bring more with them when you respect their decision and just say Thank You for their time. Your list is a tremendous value to your online success.  Treat it as such.

Organize And Outsource To Optimize Your Time ManagementPosted by admin on August 23rd, 2009

Building a business, especially online is a time consuming project and it is easy to get distracted in the course of a day.  Time management becomes extremely important to insure that ample time is created or set aside to get done the prior items that utimately make money.  And after all, making money is the name of the game. 

So the first thing you must do to create a managed environment is to get organized.  I sometimes have difficulty with this because I tend to write post it notes and after a while they pile up.  The next thing you know, I am not getting anything done since I am fishing through the pile trying to find the things I did not complete before.  The easiest way to avoid this is to put on a new post it the items not completed at the top and throw the old list away.  The next morning you can add to the list items that need attention during that day but paying particular attention to priority money making tasks.

Another way to maximize your time is to outsource things that can be easily done by others. This leave the more important priority items to you direct attention to complete.  Yes, it will cost a few dollars to get some kind of assistant however, the money you are saving and in turn earning far out weighs the few dollars necessary to get the lesser important items and tasks done by someone capable of assisting you. 

But if you are not quite ready for an assistant and you’re buried under a sea of yellow stickies with your to-do list on them; have lost an ebook you downloaded, or have ever purchased the same item more than once - then you are the perfect candidate for Organize Your Online Business .
You can get a free workshop that will help you take and keep control or your business and your time.  Your business will become profitable quicker and with the efficiency necessary to keep it that way.

Are You Wandering Through A Jungle Of Self SabotagePosted by admin on August 19th, 2009

The attempts to become successful by many people tends to deflected by what is called self sabotage.  Have you ever felt like you have sabotaged yourself?  did you ever thing from time to time that you had set boobie traps that would slow you down or even bring you to a complete halt?  Chances are that have probably flattened a few of your own success tires or blown up a couple of your own financial bridges and even spread around a few rumors about yourself.

Well, it is time to put a stop to all this and catch the culprit before it gets too out of hand.  It is truely worth your effort.  so how do you do this and keep control so that your little saboteur does not run will again?  Become a person of intention and in alignment with the world around you.  Be convicted to succeed.  Use your intuition to recognize and realize when you begin to set success land mines that will throw your off your road and into a temporary ditch. 

This kind of transition does not happen all at once and will take to time to implement.  Sometime it will take quite a “wake up” call to get your attention.  it will require you to get your act together with no other choice.  You will stop looking for your someday and realize that the time is NOW. This is when you see that the dreams and efforts that you had some time ago are ready for harvest.

The secret is to get yourself to do what you you know you must do.  Now that you have been working at your “saw has been sharpened” and it is time to use it. The situation with most people is that they are busy hacking away in pursuit of their dreams with a dull axe.

There Is A Difference Between A Coach And A Mentor For Your Road To SuccessPosted by admin on August 9th, 2009

I have been doing business on the internet since 2007 and on several occassions I have been asked, ‘What is the difference between a Coach and a Mentor”?  “Which do I need or do I need both”?  The answer to the second question is, some people need one or the other and some people need both.  But all of that depends on each individual and their specfic needs.  There is a difference between mentors and coaches.

A mentor is a teacher, one who gives you the information and shows you how to do it.  when I started in 2007, I had a very special mentor.  I met her at a camp called “Enlightened Warrior Training Camp” and she was one of my roommates.  After camp this woman continued to communicate with me and took me under her wings as she began her journey of building an internet business.  Her name is Connie Ragen Green and she is now a very successful internet icon.  We would spend hours on the phone at night as she walked me through many methods, techniques and steps.  I know I frustrated her at times but she was persistent.  Although I do not hear from her much now I still believe her to be a master teacher and much of my success online is from the teaching and nurturing of Connie Green.   If you are new at building an internet business I recommend that you visit Connie  at Ebook Writing and Marketing Secrets and sign up for her teleseminars. 

On the other hand a coach on the internet is one who encourages and inspires people to take the steps neccessary to put their learned into action.  That is where I come in.  My passion is to stand in the gap and be the one who does not and will not let an individual give up.  When discouragement seems to be taking over, a coach checks your progress,  looks at the road ahead and assists you in taking one more step forward.  Reach just a little higher,  use the tools that you have to go a little farther and is there when you succeed in the endeavor.  When additional tools are needed your coach will encourage you to find another mentor with those tools or return to your previous mentor for additional training.  That is why I enjoy working with the team of Peak Potentials Training at their events when I am not writing.   You can follow me on Twitter as well.

So as you can see, there will be some people who will need a mentor who will teach them what they need to know to be successful.  Some people will be able to take action and some will need the assistance of a coach to keep them on track and moving forward down their success road.  It is all an individual situation.  Which or both is all up to you and what you want to build to create a new lifestyle for yourself.

One Stop Shopping For The Internet Marketing EntrepreneurPosted by admin on July 21st, 2009

One of the first things that an internet marketing entrepreneur must consider when building a plan for their business online is what tools will they use to create their business machine. With all the tools available such as autoresponders, shopping carts, membership site and so on, it can be a bit confusing for the internet newbie.

An Autoresponder is a must to create and maintain contact with your visitors and consumers. This is used to do promotions for yours and other people poroducts and offer information and tips as well.

The online business will have need of a shopping cart as well to take make payments and deliver your product especially if it is a digital product. If this product is one of your own will will want to consider an affiliate program and possibly a membership site sometime in the future.

It is an advantage to have all these product under one roof so to speak to provide easy access and the ability to make quick changes when needed. The Incredible Shopping Cart is one that provides all these elements in one website and one I have use it since seriously starting online in 2007. As I grow the need for more of these elements grows and all that needs to be done is to upgrade my cart to the next level as is needed. This website is easy to access and can be outsourced to a virtual assistant when your growth call for you to prioritize. You can’t go wrong with a 30 day trial at no cost to you.  You can try it on for size and decide for yourself.  Many of the affiliate program that I promote use this website to host their programs.

Create A Plan To Build An Online Passive Residual IncomePosted by admin on July 15th, 2009

Getting started with an online business is not really difficult.  The entire process, from the time you decide on a niche until you have a product online for sale can take as little three weeks. Once you have it  ready, you only have to drive traffic to the opt in page you create and build your list.  It take persistance to stay with it and desire to continue learning as you grow.

 A lot of people work with private label rights products to replace their income within a few months of getting started.  These digital products can be purchased very inexpensively and you can edit or rewrite them  or leave them the way they are.  PLR products come with graphics and a sales letter already.  Others will use products you can find at Your Public Domain Expert that are available until they create a product of their own to sell.  Once you can create information products of your own that will bring you years of passive income you your need for other people’s material will become less of a need for your success. 

Make sure that you choose a niche there is a market for and be prepare to change topics when you find that yours has little to no current marketing that can increase you income. The ability to work online, from anywhere you choose where there is an internet connection, lets you to have a lifestyle you probably only dreamed of before.  Just learn how to build your online empire in a way that you will have the freedom to do things in your  life that will mean something to you and those you care about.  It is all possible once you make the decision to do something to create an income that supports your new lifestyle and works even when you do not.  There is so many tools and so much information available to help you along your journey.  All you have to do in look for it, invest in yourself and watch you online empire grow.

Find People To Create A Mastermind Group To Keep You On Track And ProgressingPosted by admin on July 8th, 2009

Just this weekend I had the opportunity to spend some time with some very successful people in a mastermind session.  The outcome was outstanding and gave light to direction, technology and an insight to ideas to succeed.  A mastermind group is a group of people get together either in person or on the phone to exchange ideas and information.  It is also a way to be accountable in whatever your endeavor is.  These groups meet on a regular basis in order to stay up to date and current with what is going on with each person involved.

Some people use masterminding to grow their business or create new platforms in which to develop for the future.  This is the opportunity that I had the priviledge to be a part of this past week. It was an amazing experience  and I recommend that anyone who is serious about building and improving their business, especially online, find a mastermind group to become a part of.

You may not find a mastermind group that suits you right away so you may have to join more than one to establish the one that works best for you and your business.  Make sure that you communicate your expectations going in. If the group you get involved in does not meet those expectations, let them know where you stand then find a group that does. Once you do find a group, make sure that you are an active member to get the full benefit of the people and information that is within that group.  You will also be able to give things to share so that others in your group can benefit from you.
