    Hiring for Online Businesses
    Hiring online brings with it some unique challenges, not least of which is the fact that you cannot see or even talk to some of your potential candidates... but the benefits of hiring online are so many, I'm usually hard pressed to think of a reason NOT to hire online (unless it's for a hairdresser or something!)  So how can a body successfully hire online assistance, and do so quickly, covering your bases in just a couple hours? Start here. It's Best to Look Online for Online help. Since you're hiring an online contractor, it makes sense to search for them online, right? I mean, just as it makes little sense to look for a vegetari
    rvice oriented business is far from being a new concept, it is mine, and that is what you focus on.

    HOW CAN I COME UP WITH AN IDEA FOR MY OWN PRODUCT OR SERVICE?

    Okay once I realized that I was not going to put Bill Gates out of business, I thought realistically about what I wanted to do.

    Take stock of your skills, abilities, all of your previous jobs, and the skills that you have learned online before. If you have had any previous sales experience, then half the battle is won.

    There are various products and services that you can do to appeal to the online community. It is not as hard as you think.

    Now in terms of making millions, well that's another story. Like any real business, you will be lucky to see your first profit anytime soon, but remember nothing comes handed to you.

    Go Slow to Go Fast
    I’ve been telling people this for several years. The admonishment, for me, began with my work teaching Quality Improvement at Chevron. In that work we found, to no one’s surprise, that people often focus on the task - solving a problem - much more than on the process - understanding its causes (and planning solutions accordingly.)Most of us in western culture can easily focus on solving a problem or removing a barrier. After all, we know what’s wrong - just fix it! As all of us know from experience, the bias for action (a task focus) often leads to incomplete solutions, solutions that cause more problems (maybe ones worse than the original),
    This article may be hard for some marketers to understand. This article may actually change your mind on how to properly succeed online.

    This article will show you what I have eventually learned and what you will learn as well.

    Renting Your Profits, What Does That Mean?

    For all of you who are making money from affiliate programs and other money making programs, congratulations. Affiliate programs and other money making programs can help you supplement your income online. I should know. Not only am I a member of various affiliate programs, but I also run my own affiliate program as well. So don't think this is an anti-affiliate program article.

    Notice, I Said Supplement Your Income.

    Now what are you going to do the day you get that email that says

    "Thank you for your participation in our affiliate program, but we have decided to discontinue this product, and effective immediately you can no longer spend all your time promoting my product. Have a nice day"

    So what are you going to do. You have spent all your time promoting this product. Your entire ezine is focused on this product.

    Now what are you going to talk about? Now where are your profits going to come from?

    Remember a long time ago, every successful marketer told you one thing

    If you want to succeed online, you need to have your own product or service that you own outright 100% or you will never achieve marketing success.

    THIS IS THE FIRST, MOST IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS ONLINE MARKETING SUCCESS.

    Let me say this again..

    THIS IS THE FIRST, MOST IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS ONLINE MARKETING SUCCESS.

    I am not referring to products that you have the rights to resell and reprint. This a great money maker as I have ebooks that I resell myself, but you know what? That's not my main source of income.

    Why?

    I didn't write this ebook. If the author sets a certain criteria for their material, you have no choice but to comply since it is not your material in the first place.

    The benefits of owning your own product or service online are endless. You make the rules. you collect all the profits, end of story...

    When I first started out, I heard that same line, and said to myself "I can't invent software or develop some sort of service, I'll just rely on these affiliate programs."

    Didn't even care what the product was, just as long as it had a high commission, you can be sure I signed up for it.

    REALITY CHECK

    Everyone else was promoting the same thing. By the time I got around to promoting it, no one cared, and I was lucky to see $10!

    I had to use their material to promote, had to stick to their guidelines. Even if I was successful, it dawned on me that I am helping to promote someone else's products and services.

    So I thought about what I can do to carve a niche in this world of marketing. If I can't think of a product to come up with, what about a service? That's why I came up with Ezine Ad Helper.com

    You see my original website My IBiz Helper is great but I didn't have anything unique to offer my visitors, so I came up with Ezine Ad Helper.

    It is not a reseller of another ad coop, or anything else like that.

    Ezine Ad Helper is owned by KDM Publishing, which is owned by me.

    So while my service oriented business is far from being a new concept, it is mine, and that is what you focus on.

    HOW CAN I COME UP WITH AN IDEA FOR MY OWN PRODUCT OR SERVICE?

    Okay once I realized that I was not going to put Bill Gates out of business, I thought realistically about what I wanted to do.

    Take stock of your skills, abilities, all of your previous jobs, and the skills that you have learned online before. If you have had any previous sales experience, then half the battle is won.

    Welcome to Cyber Monday!
    Well, I learned something new this past weekend. Specifically, the Monday following Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest days for online retailers. Dubbed “Cyber Monday” by some, online merchants track one of the largest one day spikes in sales on this particular day much like “brick and mortar” purveyors experience with “Black Friday” the day that follows Thanksgiving. It is the Christmas shopping season…happy Cyber Monday to you!According to Shop.org, an association of online retailers, more than 75% of their members reported a significant surge in traffic on the Monday following the extended Thanksgiving weekend in 2004.

    So what are you going to do. You have spent all your time promoting this product. Your entire ezine is focused on this product.

    Sales Manager and the Phone Book Prospecting Trick
    You know there are still some sales managers out there who instead of insuring proper amounts of qualified leads for their sales force will instead throw a new salesman or woman a darn phone book and say good luck, there is the phone? Oh great the new salesperson thinks.Now-a-days you cannot call people on Do Not Call Lists, so instead these phone books only work when calling government white page listings or yellow page business sections. Which if you company sells to businesses seems to work okay.Unfortunately the sales managers who do this make a few mistakes because each salesman ought to know a little something about the industry

    SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT AFFILIATE PROGRAMS DON'T WORK?

    Please don't get me wrong. If I thought affiliate programs didn't work I wouldn't have one for my own site. Here is what I figured out:

    If you have your own product or service, then select only a few key affiliate programs that will compliment your main product or service.

    Stop signing up for everything just because it offers a high commission. Look for solid products to enhance what you are already offering. After all, I don't expect to see an ad for tobacco at a children's website so think before you sign up..

    If you cannot take this first simple step of owning your own product or service outright, then you are already placing strikes against you in your path to Internet Marketing Success..

    So now you can ask yourself after reading this...
