Building a business mindset…Knowing who to associate with

Before you succeed with yourself or other people it is very important to conquer your mindset and to figure out how to control your emotions when it comes to business, or how to control what you are experiencing and what you’re thinking. If you don’t have it in yourself and haven’t figured out in your own mind that you are entitled to be successful it becomes really difficult for you to have success particularly in a home business but also in anything else. So when we think about getting your mindset in getting successful there are many different ways and many different things out there that we all have been exposed to. A lot of people suggest you go to different seminars to listen to motivational speakers and tapes and also to read. I agree with that because education primarily is going to do you good. It doesn’t hurt to learn more and have experiences.

Getting around successful people.
When I first started out in my first venture in home based business, I used to struggle, spend money on different things losing money, spending it left and right. It always seemed that I was spending a lot more than I was having profit but that made me come to the conclusion that I need to find people that can teach me more than I know. People that know more than I do and have experienced success. These people are the ones that you need to get around take a little of what they know and what they learned. You don’t have to listen to every single word and do every single thing they say. You don’t have to rely on everything they say, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from. You don’t have to agree with everything but the knowledge you get is going to start to register with you. Take some of the ideas in your own way or maybe you just want to duplicate it and do it yourself.

You always hear from people you know and love that “This is a scam; it’s never going to work… or get a real job”. These are people that care about you saying you can’t make money doing that. Why do you think they say such things?
 They never made any money
 They were scammed before
 OR THEY”RE TRYING TO PROTECT YOU
See they think it’s not possible because they’ve never seen it with there own eyes. Those people saying that to you probably have a job; they probably have debts, mortgages on their houses. Yes they may be happy… but are they financially successful?
However if they were informed they would instead ask you what marketing strategy you would be using to promote your business. They’ll ask more questions in terms to try to get you to think instead of trying to beat you down.

I’ve got the mindset of an entrepreneur like you guys do. The reasons I looked for another way to earn money is because I didn’t find the typical nine to five job to be right for me. I wanted leverage, residual income, I wanted to own something, to have unlimited potential and all of those things don’t work in a job but they don’t understand that, because they’ve never been around that.

Save your conversations about your business with people who relate to that. Do not talk to your friends about it unless they ask. People you want to talk are people in your organization, people you’ve enrolled people in forums. They want to talk about your business or business ideas. However you should be careful for those who are negative or those trying to recruit you in their business instead.

How To Find Products?

Finding Hot Selling Products to Sell


In order to locate products that sell online, we need to
understand what people already want to buy. Finding a good
choice of idea or product is always accompanied by interfacing
the demand for the product in the current market and the level
of competition or market share that the product will be having
in the long run.

"What should I sell? What products are hot selling? These are
the questions most people are trying to find an answer in order
for them to make the definite decision. And if we really want to
know the answer to this question, our only choice is to do some
research. There are all kinds of twists along the road that may
lead you to think you have a high-demand idea. We must be able
to understand and satisfy the need, wants and expectations of
our customers on a certain product that they're trying to buy.
This three are called the basic needs or minimum requirements in
a purchase. Needs are the basic reasons or the minimum
requirements consumers are looking for in a product or service.
They are called the qualifying or "gatekeeper" dimensions in
a purchase. Wants are the determining dimensions among many
choices. Expectations, on the other hand, are values or
intangibles associated with a product or service. Expectations
are actually part of "wants" but they become extremely
important when products or services are not differentiated.

For example, in reading a logic book, university students look
for the following: Relevant logic concepts use of simple
language, easy to understand and affordable prices. These
similar ideas can be applied to Internet Sales as well. After
all, the Internet is just another place to sell products. The
basic concept of demand is the same there as it is anywhere
else, and has been all the time.

Now, the second thing that must be considered in finding
"hot" products to sell are the level of competition or the
market shares do your product will have. Market share or level
of competition means the ratio of your brand sales versus the
total market sales. While companies would naturally define its
target competitors, it is actually the consumers who ultimately
decide the competitive frame, or the list related products or
services that consumers consider when exercising their
purchasing power. We must therefore choose the market segment
where we can have a potential leadership or at least a strong
challenger role. Because the overriding objective of getting
into this business is not just to satisfy the needs and wants of
our customers but to do so profitably better than his
competition. Otherwise, our competition will end up satisfying
the customers better than our own interest.

Third factor to be considered in finding hot selling products is
finding out the general interest level about the product. General
interest in a product helps us to gauge where our demand and
competition numbers fall into the big picture. Simply saying, if
there isn't much demand for the product, and there isn't much
competition, it would seem that it might not be good a good put
up for sale. But the research doesn't stop here; there is one
last thing to be considered to exactly find the hot selling
products that you've been looking for. We must also learn how
others are advertising those products. If there are a good
number of them doing so, it may mean that it's a good product
to get into. Coming to the last phase of the process is
analyzing and evaluating all the information that has been
collected. We have to look at all of the data we have collected
on demand, competition, and advertising, and make decision as
how they all balance out.

And here are several factors or aspects that must be measured:

(a) not enough demand means not enough people are going to buy

(b) too much competition means not enough of a profit to go
around

(c) too much advertising drives up the price of pay per
click ads, and competition as well

(d) not enough general interest, combined with low demand,
means there may not be a good market even if there is
competition trying to make the sales.

Just some of the many things to consider when choosing
a program or product to promote.

Article Writing Tips

When I get phone calls and emails about promoting
online, I always suggest you try your hand at
writing articles and submitting them to ezines and
directories.

Here's information on how to do just that and why :)

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

Top Seven Ways Writing Articles Can Explode Your Business


In today's highly competitive internet universe, the importance
of attracting highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be
overemphasized. Routing web traffic to your site can be your
only means of survival, especially in the cutthroat world of
ecommerce. Getting a high search engine ranking can be very
difficult. Fortunately, there is an abundance of website promotion
strategies you can use to drive traffic to your website.

There is a wide variety of strategies you can adapt, from paid
advertising to affiliate marketing. However, most of these
techniques require payment. Nevertheless, there are ways to
promote your website and increase your web traffic without
spending anything or too emptying your wallet.
Writing articles is one of the best web site promotion strategies
you can use, and they can be very effective. How, you may ask,
can writing articles help improve your web traffic? Here are the top
seven ways in which it can help explode your business.

1.Reach more people

When you write good articles, it would be a shame not to share
them with other people. You can post your articles in your
website or you can submit them to other sites such as e-zines
and online publishers. By submitting your articles to these
sites, you give exposure not only to your ideas but also to your
website. Simply include a link back to your site or include your
information in the resource box. With this, you get exposure and
free advertising as well. Submit your articles to popular e-zines
and take advantage of their popularity. Other sites who find your
article relevant may also link back to you. Thus, you increase
your link popularity, which is one of the most important
strategies in the internet world. Remember that most people are
looking for information online and by filling this need with
your quality article; you may reap the benefit of more exposure
and higher web traffic.

2.Free Advertising

Submitting your articles to other websites presents an
opportunity to advertise your website without paying exorbitant
fees. Although you should avoid marketing language in your
articles and make it informative and useful to your readers, you
can always include your site's link in the resource box. In
addition, by making your article relevant and helpful to your
readers, you are making a good impression for your website,
which could ultimately lead to a visit and hopefully a purchase.
Good quality content in an article is far better and more
effective than a few lines of ad space. You have a very special
opportunity to presell your product or service to your
prospective customer.

3.Gain High Search Engine Ranking

Create a new web page for your article in your website. Optimize
your article to make it search-engine friendly. Use top-ranked
keywords and Meta tags that can give your website a high search
engine ranking. As soon as you upload your new webpage to your
server, search engines will spider through it and you can gain
an increase in search engine ranking. Remember that search
engine optimized content is a very effective strategy to gain a
high ranking in search results.

4.Increases Link Popularity

Instead of looking for other sites who would want to establish
reciprocal links with your site, you can simply submit an
article to other sites. Just do not forget to include a link to
your site in your resource box. When these websites pick up and
publishes your article, you automatically get a link partner.
Try to get as many link partners as you can. Link popularity is
one of the factors used by search engines in determining search
engine rankings. Make your article especially useful and
appealing, so that more websites will be encouraged to publish
it.

5.Optimizes your site for improved search engine ranking

By making your site keyword rich, you can greatly improve the
search engine ranking of your site. Remember that keyword
density is one of the most important factors that search engines
use when determining the search engine ranking of site. However,
you should always provide relevant, useful and pertinent
information. Avoid the temptation of overusing keywords just to
gain a high ranking as this may turn off most web surfers.
Relevance and quality is still the most important things to
consider when writing articles and it will be doubly useful to
your site if you make these articles search-engine optimized.

6.Establishes a Good Impression and Reputation

By writing excellent, original and relevant articles, you not
only give your site exposure, you are also creating a good
impression on your prospects. Encourage more people to visit
your site and do business with you by establishing an impressive
reputation through your articles. Be seen as an expert in the
field and your will ultimately gain more customers eager to do
business with you.

7.Enhances your credibility through references and testimonies

Certainly, your articles are going to receive feedbacks and
testimonies when you publish them in e-zines and free article
sites. Record these positive feedbacks and comments and use them
as promotional material in your website or in any of your
advertising efforts. Your credibility will be greatly enhanced
by these feedbacks, as it will create a good impression on your
prospects as well as your existing customers. In this highly
competitive world, excellent credibility and trust may be the
only things you need to attract new customers or make loyal
patrons out of your existing customers. Original, relevant,
useful and pertinent articles are important tools you should
utilize to improve and explode your business.

Those are just a few of the many reasons you really
need to trust yourself and start writing
