How to Make Money Online and Start an Internet Marketing Business
So you have heard that starting an online business is an easy and quick way to making money. Well, I’m afraid to tell you that it isn’t a quick and easy way to make money. I don’t know anyone that magically started making money online overnight with no work.Stop worrying about making money online. Stop looking for the magic push button system that magically makes you rich overnight.I’m afraid to tell you that they simply do not exist. If you knew how to make money easily with a few clicks of your mouse would you be selling those secrets for a few bucks?The only way to build a successful online business is to have a clear purpose, what makes you different to your competition, what’s your Unique Selling Point?You need to deliver VALUE, but you need to deliver it differently to everyone else.What is your clear purpose?
What value can you deliver?
How are you different to everyone else?Are you prepared to do that for FREE to start with if needs be?At least until you have proof that your strategies work and what value you can provide.Before you start thinking I have nothing I could teach that would be of value to anyone else, you are wrong.Everyone has something of value. Do you know how to knit, scrapbook, play golf or computer games all of which are very popular, very profitable niches. I discovered a very profitable niche the other day, how to clean and de-clutter your home.Once you have something of value and you have proved that your strategies work, then you can start thinking about charging for that information. But start small; start off by charging a lot less than the value you are going to deliver.Think of any internet marketing millionaires and every one of those started in this way.They found a way of making money online. They actually made the money first over a period of time. Then and only then did they offer to teach others how they made that money online.The first thing you need to learn is that if you try to make money online then you will fail. If you start by giving value in exchange for money then you will start seeing a return on your time investment.So where do you start?I am sure you have heard things like:
The money is in the list.
It’s easier to be an affiliate then a product creator.
You can’t create a product if you’re not an expert.Well.The money is in the list. That is definitely true. But not all lists are created equal.Now once you have worked out that people invest in results you can start to build a buyers list, someone who has actually taken their credit card out and spent some money in order to get access to your knowledge. But, I am sure if you do not class yourself as an expert then you is probably very nervous about creating your own product?Let me tell you something about product creation.No one really talks about this even though it’s very important when it comes to your long term wealth and stabilising your income.You see the only good thing about a J.O.B. is you get a regular pay check come rain or shine.Every month you get paid without fail.It isn’t the same in business. Your money goes up, and your money goes down. Every month, your income fluctuates. So to stabilise your income as much as possible you need to build a buyers list. Why, because a buyers list is you repeat business. The customers that come back and continue to buy from you. This of course only works If and only if you have over delivered the value in the first place. Would you buy more information from somebody who had already over promised and under delivered?The other point of course is a buyer is worth ten times more to you then a freebie seeker.This is why I want you to become or at least consider being a product creator.Think about this…How many lists are you on where you get hit with pitch after pitch, after pitch selling yet another affiliate product?Lots, right?Yeah well, guess what’s happening to their list?It’s getting bored, fed-up and diluted.Think about it.Every time you sell someone else’s stuff you’re going to lose subscribers.Sure some will buy the product (and you get a commission) but they will also sign up to the product owners list. If they like the information they have bought, then they will start to follow and receive emails from the product creator. What do they need you for now?I know this because I’ve done this.But here’s the deal.Now there is competition in the inbox.They get your email and this other guy’s email.Say they read yours. You send another email pitch and guess what…… They join someone else’s list.Your open-rates decline, your emails get read less and less and eventually you become just another email in the spam folder.Sell your own stuff (and you can still send the occasional affiliate promotion) and you’ll deepen the relationship with your list.They’ll get to know you so much better and like your stuff more.Then you can get affiliates to send you traffic and dilute their list instead of yours.So it’s a very good idea to create your own products to stabilise your income online, by building a buyers/repeat customer list. You also utilise other people’s lists by getting affiliates to promote your products for a percentage of the sales revenue. So effectively building your very lucrative repeat customer list for free.
Bee Pollen And Nutrition – The Nutritional Benefits of Bee Pollen And Why You Should Be Interested
You may wonder why bee pollen and nutrition are mentioned together, and why should you be interested.Chances are that you live in a country like the US, UK or Australia where for most people food is readily available.In fact, we are told that there is an obesity epidemic in these countries!However, studies have shown that many people in these countries are actually malnourished, and that is a possible contributor to obesity.This doesn’t make sense does it?Defining nutritionFirst I think we should define nutrition, what it is, and why we should be interested.Nutrition is defined as the way which a living person absorbs food and uses it for growth and cell replacement, or to put it in simple English, the process of eating the right kind of food so you can grow properly and be healthy.Lack of nutrition or malnutrition can lead to many of the chronic diseases found today.There are many causes of this malnutrition but the main contenders are:- soil which is deficient in nutrients caused by the widespread use of chemicals since the end ofWW2 (1945) causing vitamin deficiencies in the food grown that soil,
- foodstuffs transported around the world and stored for long periods which depletes essential vitamins,
- over processed foods which have plenty of calories but little nutritional value,
- overuse of many medical drugs,
- pollution,
- chemicals in general.It is interesting to note that our parents and grandparents were generally healthier than us, and what they called “food” is known to us today as “organic food”.Bee Pollen And NutritionEven if you consider that you’re eating habits are healthy and it is generally agreed that fruits and many vegetables today contain less nutrients than they did 50 years ago.One food expert has stated that it would take 8 oranges to provide the same amount of Vitamin C as one orange provided 50 years ago.The sad reality is that it is necessary to supplement the modern diet in order to receive sufficient nutrition for the body, so rather than gamble with your health perhaps you should consider taking a bee pollen supplement for your possible lack of nutrition.Bee pollen nutrition supplementBee pollen is dense with vitamins, minerals, enzymes – in fact all the building blocks of a healthy body. It is known as nature’s most complete food.A pollen supplement will at the same time improve your metabolism, control your weight, improve your immune system, increase energy and stamina and many other benefits – too many to list in this short article.Finding the best bee pollen nutrition supplementFinding the best supplement is very important if you wish to gain the maximum benefits from this superfood.The best source will not only provide pure supplements from a controlled and unpolluted environment but will also be manufactured to pharmaceutical standards, which means that you can be assured of getting the bee pollen nutrition health benefits that you are looking for.
Why People Don’t Seek Mental Health Treatment
Because of the increase of school shootings across the United States, there is an ongoing debate regarding solutions. One of the most looked at causes behind mass shootings are the mental state of the shooters themselves. Most mass shooters have some things in common with each other.1. Grew up in a fatherless home
2. Was on prescription psychotropic drugs
3. Had stressful events going on in their livesFor category #1, the solutions are obvious. We need to revamp the family law courts in way that there aren’t “winning” parents and “losing” parents. I speak about this topic in-depth in my published report sent to the U.N. titled, “Global Human Trafficking in The Family Law Courts”, which can be found on Amazon.However, for the sake of this article, I want to focus on the mental health aspect. It is undeniable that our school systems and our healthcare systems are handing out psychotropic drugs like candy! Kids who aren’t paying attention in class are quickly prescribed Ritalin. Depressed teenagers are quickly give Prozac; the situation for adults isn’t much better.Let’s look at modern rappers like, “Lil Xan”, “Future”, and the recently deceased 20 year old rapper, “Lil Peep”, who died from a Xanax pill laced with Fentanyl. The rapper was seen on Instagram frequently swallowing hand fulls of Xanax pills daily. His young fans who idolized him are most likely following suit.According to the “business-insider” news site, the United States of America is the world’s leader in prescribing anti-depressant medication. According to one of its articles published, it was found that 12% of all Americans are on some type of drug used to treat mental illness.There are pros and cons to these numbers. Take South Korea for example, a very developed nation, yet it is ranked #3 for suicides. In the Korean culture, seeing a doctor for depression is a social stigma that shows weakness, especially on part of a male. It isn’t surprising considering that 80% of all suicides in the world are attributed to men. Because mental illness is pretty much ignored in South Korea and among males in general due to society pressures to remain “stoic”, people are killing themselves left and right.On the other hand, the United States, which is ranked between #30 – #40 (depending on the study), for suicides. So, there is some evidence that perhaps anti-depressant medications can work. Or is it merely cultural? Jamaica often ranks at the very bottom of the list for suicide rates despite being a poor country. Although the poor, the communities are very close knit, and their culture is very cheerful. Perhaps it’s because marijuana is legal to smoke in the country! Who knows!But, I do know one thing; anti-depressants and other drugs used to treat mental illness carry many side-effects. “Suicidal Thoughts”, is often listed as one of the major side-effects of Prozac. Imagine that! A medication designed for suicidal people which may cause suicidal thoughts! There is no doubt that taking psychotropic drugs alters the brain chemistry, just like alcohol or any other intoxicant.It is in my opinion that occupational therapy, talk therapy, and community interaction are among the best treatments for depression. However, yet again, there is a draw back to these types of therapies as well.Anytime an American sees a counselor for depression, suicidal thoughts, or any mental health concern, they are then “logged” and “stereotyped”. Those who frequent a mental health counselor could have such activities used against them in a custody battle or those who seek to purchase a firearm.Imagine you are battling depression, so you go see a counselor, only to have it used against you in the future. This is why many, myself included, fear the idea of seeing a mental health specialist during times of great stress. Once you visit these people, you are very “labeled” and will be “marked”. If you find yourself facing any future litigation, the courts can uncover your medical records whereas they will say,:”Ahhh! You went to a mental health counselor several times for depression! You aren’t fit to own a gun or have custody of your kids!”.In some cases, this may true, whereas in others, it could be an unfair stereotype. When people mentioned that they see a counselor or take anti-depressant medication, people will often sneer at you or perhaps take a step back. We associate mental health concerns with schizophrenia or severe manic depressive types. The fact is, we are all suffering with some form of mental illness.If you are too happy, the doctors will say you are “manic”. If you are too grumpy, they will say you have “type A” personality. If you are too sad, they will say you are suffering from severe “Depression”. It is much like going to a mechanic. If you talk long enough, they will find something wrong with you!The truth is simple. Visiting a mental health counselor could result in you losing rights to your child, to your firearms, and your reputation as a person. It is a sad truth. Under our current system, most people do not seek help for fear of being demonized.The top ways we can prevent mass shootings is by encouraging a friendly community, surround yourself with loving people, do your best to be involved parents, seek natural therapies to mental health disorders over drugs if possible (Sports, work therapy, etc..). If you are hearing voices or are frequently attempting to complete your suicide, then you should certainly seek medical intention.Requiring mental health screenings to purchase firearms sounds like a great idea until you realize that most don’t seek help so that they can purchase a firearm! Why not screen people’s health condition before they purchase alcohol, get a driver’s license, or board a plane? Mental health can make nearly any activity dangerous. Our country must stop looking for “quick” fixes and start looking at the true cause of our demise.Our fast-food, sex-violence, entertainment, glorification of misunderstand anarchism. There is “freedom” and then there is “responsible” freedom. Make choices in life, however, make those choices in respect of how it will affect your society at large. Legislators cannot solve these issues. These issues are ones that will require families to step up, unite, and take back the reign of traditional values without going overboard.A middle ground between progressive thought and traditional values must be balanced. We mustn’t be afraid to advance our society, but we must also not totally disregard traditional ways of living which have served our humanity for so long.Lastly, we must encourage more anonymity within our mental health departments. Must like the “confessionals” at a Catholic church. If people can be anonymously treated without so much of a paper-trail to stigmatize them, I am sure that many more people would step forward and ask for help.As a boxing coach, this job often requires me to be a counselor, talking with my students, building up their confidence. If you are depressed and need help, but do not trust or fear doctors, a great alternative in my opinion is to stay active in group settings. Building relationships are essential in combating mental illness. In poor countries, suicide rates are often low because their communities are so tight knit. They may be poor, but no one is as lonely as the isolated modern man who types away in his cold artificially lit office cubicle.
