The Importance of setting goals

I have just finished reading an article by Stuart Tan about how to Supercharge your career to create a massive Breakthrough and find it very useful. I believed most of us know that it is important to set goals of what we wanted to do however to set and to do is two different thing. One must know that when setting a goal, one must be SMART. SMART stands for Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time Bound. It is important to stick to this five words when setting goals. However the real difficult part is yet to come. To set a goal is easy, sometimes even myself when come to set goals i might get too carried away and thought that everything is easy and if i succeed i will like this and that. However when come to carry out your plans to attain your goals, you must possess SOMETHING! This SOMETHING is the one that differentiate between failure and success. What is this SOMETHING that is so important? It is the never say die attitude as well as learning from your mistakes. HOWEVER most people give up on the first second they finish their goals setting. The reason is that goals they set are not realistic, therefore it is important to stick to SMART. For those that take the first step to carry out their goals, i would not yet congrats you, because this marks the starting of your journey. During the process you might experience dissapointment, dejection, frustation and alot alot of negative feelings, however if you have the SOMETHING that i mentioned, these negative feelings will in turn drive you toward your success! With never say die attitude, you will continue to try again, again and again when fail, back up with learning from mistakes attitude, you will keep on improve your methods and eventually success is just in front of your eyes. To put yourself on the line, will help you to push yourself toward success! When you put yourself at risk, as human being by instinct they will do whatever mean to survive, setting and carry out a goal is the same thing, when your life is at the stake and have no back up plan, no alternative choice, you will tend to do it until you are success. So at the end of this post, i will encourage all of you to start with setting up your goals. Do remember to stick with SMART. Do something as the diagram below and set it as your desktop wallpaper to constantly remind you to stick with your goals.

How to Write Powerful Sales Headlines that increase your sales threefold!

In today topic, i going to touch on method on writing powerful headlines for your product so that it can convert your leads into potential buyer! As i am going to move into ebay business soon therefore i believe the preparation work that i have done for my new business will be a good material to share with my readers! So do make good use of this little piece of information that i have gathered! So the thing goes like this.. For most sales-driven website, a powerful headlines are like the attention grabber. The headlines that you created must be able to grab your visitor attention and want to explore your website more. The moment you fail to do so, chances you might lose your potential customers! Headlines are so important that a research shown that a change in headline can increase a website's sale by 714%.
So which kind of headlines are considered powerful one? A powerful headlines must be able to GRAB your visitor's ATTENTION and present the MOST important BENEFIT you are going to offer them. Following are some examples of great headlines:
  • How I made $23209 in a year by selling other people product.
  • How to double or even triple your income by keeping your current jobs
  • The 6 easy steps to start your own online business from scratch

As you can see, every single one of these headlines are able to grab your visitors attention and make them curious and want to read further on the benefit that you are going to deliver. On the other hand following are examples of common headlines that do not bring in sales:

  • Learning the Richard's Way
  • Michael's Store
  • Is Worrying Robbing You of the good things in life?

The problem with first one is that it does not even mention what is the benefits all about, furthermore who will know who is Richard unless he is some big shot like warren buffet! The second headlines is the most common mistakes that people made by putting their own name as the headlines. Most visitors do not care what is your name and what you sell if you cannot deliver benefit to them.

So how do you write a great headlines that do the job? The secret here is not to re-invent the whell but to model the winning sentence structures that are bolded. Take "How I made $23209 in a year by selling other people product" as example, this formula is starting with How..." this can applied to virtually any product. So do think about some headlines using all the winning formula example above for your website.

Make Money by Taking Survey

I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day..... YEAH RIGHT, I didn't make anything.
I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn't complete the survey.
These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn't believe they were even allowed to sell such bogus products.
Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi milliondollar companies talking about a site that they personally work with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just wants the "average Joe's" honest opinion on products and services and is willing to pay big money to get them.
I tried this site out and it is the only one I have ever seen that actually pays you just to take surveys. I made almost $100 in my first day just filling out 3 simple surveys.
This is the only legit survey site online, so if you are interested in making hundreds per day just giving your opinions then make sure you check this out.
Make Money Taking Survey

P.S. there is a video on the homepage that will explain everything.If I were you I would at least check the video out and if you don't make at least $300 in your first week they have a 3 month refund policy so just get your money back!!! This is definitely worth alook!

6 Easy steps to Get Started with your Own Internet Business

My Own successful earning business in just one day?? Is it Possible?? The answer is YES! For those who follow my following Method thoroughly, but NO for those who do not even bother to try, likewise to other advices and e-books from many internet marketing gurus. One would never know whether they work or don’t if they never try it at all. Is good to being skeptical, but being overly skeptical will get you nowhere so do have a good thought about it! Anyway this piece is created by me during my free time and is ABSOLUTELY FREE, so give it a try. NOTHING to LOSE but for sure MUCH to GAIN!

Anyone like cooking? J Sorry for being out of point, but Let me explain it in a more interesting way like cooking after all normal teaching method is BORING! Starting a Internet Business is just like Cooking, we need to prepare for ingredients, cooking method decoration, and finally waiting it to be cook. The dish will then enjoying by you or your family, but for sure this dish can let you benefit for the rest of your LIFE!

Step 1: Ingredients
The main ingredients for our special dish today, successful internet business are the following:
- A web host
- A domain
- An auto-responder (either getresponse or aweber are good)
- Microsoft words
- Adwords
- Yahoo Answer, Forums (depend on your niches)
- Paypal Account (You can open it for free at www.paypal.com)
Well these are basically the main ingredients that we need for our main dish today!

Step 2: Look for the Right Recipe for our Dish
Recipe here refer to what niches you want to specialize in. Confuse of which recipe to use? Let me give you some ideas.
This Niches can be anything that you like, your hobbies, related to your jobs, special skill you have learn, your favorite games, songs, what you read or even your religion belief! As Long as you have not problem squeeze out 4-5 pages of solid content will be good. Start writes down all this niches in a piece of paper. These niches is like the recipes that you have selected on how to cook your dish and now you need to select which method of cooking

Step 3: Study the recipe
Pick up 3 of the niches from all the niches that u have wrote down in the paper which you have most confident to write out at least 4-5 pages. 3 niches which you believe can attract the most reader and write them out as good quality as possible. Do not sell any products in these articles, but provide solid contents only in this article. This article will be use to test the responds of readers toward your website and your niches of choice. Some of the popular niches are the information about “how to”. If you have anything that you want to teach people do write it down like what I have done now and also my other articles (check them up from my blog link)

Start Cooking (Set up web, domain site, auto-responder and others)
I will not explain how to set up your website as it will go very technical so I leave it for all of you to figure it out or ask help from some programmers. So when you get your dish cook, the next thing you must do is to get people to eat your dish in our case it to get traffic to your web and read your article.

Step 4: Use Adwords, Yahoo Answer and Forums to find your food testers (Traffic)
Adwords: For adwords, set it in accelerated mode and get as much food testers to click and sign up for your free reports as possible. For starters, 100-200 should be enough. Do not forget to add conversion tracking to your pages.

Yahoo Answer: I use yahoo answer to drive traffic to my pages, simply by searching the question related to your niches. Those that posted question normally need someone to solve their questions thus high chances for them to click the link you provided. When they click and your report provides solution to them, automatically they will become your traffic. Do put link to your website to the answer you given. For example I use this template to drive traffic to my job interview tips website,

“I have created a page all about job interview tips that I personally use during my job interviews. The Link is www.blabla.com do refer to it and hope it be useful to you.”

I paste it to all the questions that I have answer and it does created lots of traffic to my web.

Forums: Join into forums that specialize in the niches that you have chosen. Do an introduction and mention about the free reports that you have written and ask them to visit it by giving them the link.

Then next is to wait for all the traffic to come into your website, but the next steps is the crucial part. This traffic that come to your website are like fishes, and you need a giant net to catch them.

Step 5: Set up your Giant net to catch all the traffics (Auto-responder)
Set your auto responder and send out your first message when they enter their email and request for your free reports. The message can goes something like this:

“Dear ____”

Thank you For Requesting for “6 Steps to create your own successful internet business!” Hope to see your name appear in my mailbox soon! Any enquiry about my reports feel free to ask me!”

Here is the download link for the reports:
=> http://www.getresponse.com/link/asaaafaf.pdf

Have fun!

Regards,
Your name

P.S . Do look out for the next email from me regarding to ________

After giving the free report, we need to built rapport and make it known to them that they can easily contact you and we also let them know that there will be next email so that they know we are not a “one hit wonder”.

So what to put for the next email??

#Email 2: Probably introduce yourself or put more content regarding the niches of your choice

# Email 3: Pay per lead offer or your own other longer report (do give them the link)

For starting try to keep your e-books price low such as $7 or $9, you can increase it slowly when your traffic start to recognize your works

Step 6: Wait and see the response of your customers
With 3 niches up, all you need to do now is to wait and see which niches reports have better response from your readers. For the reports that attract most fishes, create a better quality and longer reports and now you can start rise the price higher or higher pay per lead or Per Action Offers.

Repeat the all the six steps and you are ready to build your own internet empire

YOU - the master. GOOGLE - the slave.‏

Hi Everyone,

I'm Sure sick of it now. I have decided! NO MORE shall Google dictate the rules. This time ALL of YOU shall be the master and Google will be your slave! Like most, I'm also one of the many who are tired of handing over the lion's share of their AdWords profits to Google. Maybe you are. If so, here's how to keep your money: => gmformula
All of You can start making $50, $100, $500 or even more everyday from Google...all you need is just to crack the code and apply the formula that Andrew and Steven have given you. With it you can:
  • Exploit the "insider" secrets that let Andrew and Steven pick Google's pockets with impunity
  • How you can make heaping piles of cash without even owning your own website--EVER (yes, it's possible)
  • Exactly how to use the power of psychological triggers to make your ads irresistible (it's like taking candy from a baby)
  • The "magic" trick PPC experts use to crush everybody else when they bid for keywords (this gives you an unbelievable competitive advantage)
  • Advanced tactics that are fresh and powerful for 2008, not the tired old stuff that doesn't work anymore! => gmformula
I'm sure you've heard the tired old garbage about "starting slow" and "building up" to making decent money with AdWords. Poppycock. Well, not entirely. It's good not to get sucked into risky schemes that claim you'll make a million overnight. Those are scams nearly every time (if you find one that isn't, please let me know!) Andrew & Steven don't guarantee overnight cash but they lay everything out so real human beings can follow the steps. If you've been struggling to make it online, or you've alwayswondered how the "big guys" seem to make money hand over fistwithout breaking a sweat, you'll find the answers here. => gmformula

Buffett VS Wall Street

In this post, Lets see the different in beliefs between Buffett and the rest of other fund managers, which turn Buffett into God in stocks market yet other don't.

Wall Street belief:
  • Believes in broad diversification into numerous financial instruments.
  • Short-term performance focused. Buys when a stock's price is rising (good news) & sells when a stock is falling (bad news).
  • Prejudice against companies who don't pay dividends.
  • Pressured to invest funds
  • Believes that in order to achieve higher returns, you must takehigher risks

Buffett belief:

  • Believes in concentrating his funds in a few core businesses thathe understands very well.
  • Long-term value focused. Buys good stocks when the price isfalling (bad news) & sells when the price is rising (good news).
  • Prefers company to retain its earnings & allow his wealth tocompound tax-free
  • Invest only when there is a high probability of profits.
  • Believes it is possible to achieve high returns with very lowrisks.

The reason why Warren Buffett is able to consistently beat themarket of average investors & money managers is because he holdsvery different beliefs and philosophies about how the markets work. Through studying these differences, one can see clearly how WarrenBuffett invests and you can do the same too.

"I have enjoyed the process far more than the proceeds, though i have learned to live with those, also" -Warren Buffett.
