Four Steps To Success!

By David Bazhaw on July 22, 2023 in Blog

Here is a four-step process that anyone can follow to become successful online:

Find a skill

The easiest way to make money online is to „sell‟ a skill. This skill could be any form of service that you can provide to help other marketers save time, save money and save effort.

Here are a few examples:
 Writing – you can become a ghostwriter, copywriter or blogger and sell your skills to other marketers.

 Graphics Design – you can create powerful E-covers for E-books or graphic banners for mini-sites.

 Technical – you can help people if you are good with programming (e.g., script installation, testing and website setup)

 Networking – help other people to recruit affiliates for their product launches.

If you want to develop the winning mindset, make sure you work hard by serving others first even if the pay is low or you are required to sacrifice time (and sometimes, money) in order to develop your skill and build your clientele.

Create Your Own Product

After you develop enough expertise with your skills, you can turn your skills into a product.
The most important thing to remember is that your skill must be something that brings value to others. If you can bring value to others and monetize it, others will most probably want to learn from you as well.
Once you teach others how to monetize their skill, you will have a product that will impart your expertise to others. For example: a product that teaches people “how to make money with copywriting.”

Create A Business
Once you are able to combine all your products together and develop your very own system, you have a business running already.
The important thing to remember about a business is that you must have a holistic approach when it comes to business building.

Don’t just focus on your primary skill alone. Try and outsource other tasks to other people. For example, if your strength is in writing, your business must not only include writing but many other aspects such as graphics, tutorials and even a helpdesk to help you answer questions.

At the end of the day, you need a complete system to market your business.

Automating Your Business

If your business is taking up too much of your time, the best thing you can do is to try and automate your business by letting others run it for you.

Basically, you still maintain ownership of your business (and revenue, of course). But what you must do is to train up people who are capable of running the business for you. By the time your business is successful enough to be automated, you can hire people who are smarter than you to run it for you.

The tradeoff is that you have to pay them a lot of money, but the best thing you have is more free time. When you buy people’s time with your money, you effectively remove the shackles that your business has on your time and you can use that time to invest into another business.

Remember the golden rule: Think BIG and think long term.

The Success Blueprint

By David Bazhaw on July 9, 2023 in Blog

Find a proven business model.

There are currently many business models running on the Internet. As a newbie, your goal is to start making money as fast as possible while taking as little time as possible to achieve it.

This is your vehicle to success!

Look for a business model that people have already made money from.
Here are a few suggestions:

Resell Rights – how you can sell other people’s products and keep 100% of the profit while getting viral marketing traffic at the same time.

Private Label Rights – brand yourself by having 100% ready to go products in your own name!

Niche Marketing – find good niche markets to make money online.

These are just a few examples that you can check out.

Remember that no matter what business model you choose, always remember to think long term, work hard (and smart) and bring value to your customers.

Don’t Try and Reinvent the Wheel

One common mistake newbies make when it comes to Internet marketing is to try things that might not work.

They come up with their own ways to make money online but what they don’t realize is that many marketers have already perfected the formula of making money online that all they need to do is emulate what they are doing.

Most newbies fail because they spend too much trial and error, and they get discouraged because they do not see the results.

The best way is to pick a marketer that is already making money and just follow their systems (or invest in their packages) – at the very least, you can get a refund within 30 days if it doesn’t work (but don’t use the refund policy as a way out just because you are LAZY).

Develop the winning Mindset

By David Bazhaw on July 6, 2023 in Blog

Every major plan or big business has a birthplace – that is from the mind (the source where every action flows out from).
Before you jump into the Internet marketing scene, one of the first things that you must fine-tune is your mindset.
But what does it mean to develop the right mindset? Here are a few suggestions:
* Making money online is NOT a get rich quick scheme. You don’t just „dump money‟ into some marketing scheme hoping to get money in return.
* You must invest time into your education. Depending on your aptitude, you don’t just read an E-book or two and expect to become an Internet marketing expert. After all, how long did it take you to get your university degree?
* You must invest time for trial and error. No one gets it „right‟ on the first try. You must be prepared for failures and mistakes. Learn from them and make sure you get up and fight again!
* You must be prepared to put up with negative people. There are many in the world out there who do not believe that it is possible to make money online. When you put your plans into action, you will face resistance from your beer-drinking buddies, your family members or even your BOSS! If you don’t have the endurance, you will succumb to the pressure.
* You must be prepared to go all the way. An Internet marketing business is just like any other business in the „offline‟ world. If you are not prepared to go all the way, you will give up halfway because you have put in a half-hearted attitude into your business. Remember the golden rule: how badly do you want success?

Choosing The Right Vehicle

Another thing that you must remember is that it is not enough to have the winning mindset alone. You must have the right vehicle to take you there.
For example: if you are wanted to get from one state in the U.S. to another, you will need to have the right vehicle to take you there. You can choose to ride a plane, drive a car or walk.
Of course, it would be absurd to walk. But that is what people do in their Internet marketing business! They do not choose the best (or cost effective) vehicle to get them there!
They have the right mindset alright. And they are probably so fired up and positive that they don’t care how long it takes them to arrive at their destination.
It is also no different from natives who are all riled up about defending their homeland against invaders, but if they don’t have guns, their axes, spears and shields are not going to save them no matter how valiantly they fight (against the enemy’s gunpowder)!
Make no mistake about this. Taking too long to reach the destination is no different from failing. We must not delude ourselves into thinking that it takes time to build a business when we should be making money after a couple of months.
Some people spent years reading „make money online‟ E-books without making a single cent from the Internet. They convince themselves that they are still in the learning and education phase, but they don’t take action!
Sure, it takes time to build a solid business, but any money that you are not making means you’ve „lost‟ money because that is the money that you SHOULD be earning instead of wasting your time with things that don’t work.

Keyword selection For SEO

By David Bazhaw on June 27, 2023 in Blog

One of the main components that helps determine the success, or failure, of your search engine optimization (SEO) campaign is your keyword selection. Although this may not appear much, choosing the right keyword to use for your website is one of the more grueling parts of the entire SEO process, especially if you aim to find one that will be most effective for your site’s search engine optimization.

When using keywords for SEO, you just need to follow a few simple steps in order to properly find the right keyword that will do the job. There are also a couple of things that you need to look out for in order to avoid any problems when trying to optimize your web page.

Make a list

The first thing that you should do if you want to be able to use keywords effectively is to start out by making a list of “key” keywords or phrases that are relevant to the content of your site, and by doing this, it can actually lead you to create or discover more keywords or phrases that may blossom from the original one that you have chosen.

Select key phrases or words

Once you’ve made a list, try to select ones that contain a “key” keyword or phrase that can help you identify your site’s content. Let’s say your site’s content is all about cars, using cars as a keyword won’t put you high up in the page ranking of search engines, especially since a lot of sites or pages have that as a keyword. Try to avoid using words or phrases that are too general, as this will not help improve your page ranking. By adding other key terms to your chosen keyword, such as “second-hand cars”, or “second-hand sports cars” will actually help improve your chances of going up higher in the page rankings. Just make sure that these are relevant to your site’s content.

Check your competition

It also helps if you took the time to search for keywords or phrases that your competition are using so that you can narrow down which ones to use, and which ones to avoid. There is no sense in using a type of keyword or phrase, such as “cars”, which a lot or most of your competition are using as well, and if their site’s are ranked high up in the search engine’s index, then you might have a difficult time going up against that.

Use your location

You can also improve your chances of getting a much better page ranking result if you incorporate your location to the keyword or phrase that you are trying to use. Let’s say your business is located somewhere in Minnesota, by simply adding the word “Minnesota” to your keyword selection (“Minnesota second-hand sports cars”), you can fair better in your page ranking. However, this type of method usually entails that people are planning on seeing you in person when they do searches like this, so make sure that you only utilize this technique if you are open to the idea of them visiting you in person.

Use your niche

Always try to choose the keyword that you specialize in, or at least the one that offers you with the most profit. Keep in mind that you want to offer the keyword that best describes your business, but if the search volume of users is leaning towards one that isn’t your main product, then you can actually opt to use that keyword instead, just as long as that keyword is still related or relevant to your site’s content.

Building Free Targeted Web Site Traffic

By David Bazhaw on June 24, 2023 in Blog

The value of targeted web site traffic can never be equal to that of a merely free traffic. Visitors that are easily directed to certain web sites, even for free, if totally clueless as to what the website is all about, are likely going to exit your web pages just as fast as how they have landed on them. You may even find yourself falling from the search engine ranks if this continues to happen, not to mention being banned and the like.

But yes, the web is such an avenue for great opportunities that even free targeted traffic can possibly be obtained. But that does not come without efforts from your end. Here are some tips to building free targeted traffic.

Blogs. If you have a passion for writing and do not mind sharing your ideas on the web, this should not be very hard for you. Blogs are among the most effective ways to get “really” targeted traffic.

The freedom to express your message via compelling articles gives you the chance to capture readers’ attention through your writing skill coupled with some interesting images that are sure to spice up interests. When writing blogs, you have the option to directly pitch your website to your readers (seldom done) or do it in subtle, less obvious ways.

You may post ads on your blog, insert links on some key phrases – all of which will lead targeted traffic to your site when clicked. There are numerous blog sites on the web that you can tap all for free.

Forum Participations. This is also another way of getting targeted traffic at no cost. Simply visit forums that discuss topics related to the nature of your website. Participate either by posting your own questions or by answering existing forum inquiries. There may be instances when you can directly refer your website as part of your answers, or you may need to employ tactics to insert it as part of your main answers.

Usually, and this is the safest way to showcase your site for the possibility of getting free targeted traffic, include your web site’s domain name on your signature block. Don’t be satisfied by just putting your name at the end of your answer. Insert your domain names and URLs so that the readers (who are interested with the forum topic, which is related to the nature of your website) have the option of clicking them and hence becoming a part of your free targeted traffic.

Link Exchange. You are also free to browse the web for link exchange and invite web sites with similar or related industries as yours. Make sure to provide clear link details (an interesting title, clear description, and accurate URL) to draw targeted traffic from websites which visitors may also be highly interested on your web site content. Anyone who visits a web site and cares to navigate through its pages, so that he reaches its resources or links page and clicks on your displayed link – is a very promising portion of your targeted web site traffic.

7 Tips for Working at Home Successfully

By David Bazhaw on April 30, 2023 in Blog

So, you’ve decided to start a home-based business. Congratulations, and welcome to the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship. While there is a lot to learn, your effort will be worth it. The thrill of growing your business, the freedom and flexibility to set your own hours, and the possibilities of ever-increasing financial rewards are all wonderful reasons to start a home based business.

Now that you’ve decided to start your business, you might be wondering “How can I get it off to the strongest possible start?” These 7 tips will help:

Set up a separate working space in your home. It doesn’t matter if this is a small bedroom, one part of the garage, or a corner of the living room. I used to work out of my closet. The important thing is to have some space that you can designate as your working area. This will give you the space and room you need to craft your dream.

Stock your working space with materials. This sounds basic, perhaps, but one underlying element of success is that you have easy access to the tools, materials, and other resources you need. Gathering everything close by also keeps you from wasting time searching for it, so this step can be considered a time management strategy, too.

Speaking of time management, your third step is to define the parameters of your business. What days and hours will you work? When will you do your marketing? When will you provide services or products to clients? How will you keep all of this straight?

Balance action with planning. One of the most common pitfalls to successful entrepreneurship is getting too caught up in action without enough planning. Stated another way, this means that you confuse “being busy” with “working on important projects.” The best approach is to plan your next couple of goals and then work backwards to create step-by-step action plans to reach them. Once you have the plan, then it’s time to take action.

Network like crazy. One of the fastest ways to grow any business is to make connections with other people. Be sure to share your passion and enthusiasm with others at every opportunity. Let people know who you are and what you offer. Remember, people can’t buy if they don’t know you’re selling.

Present a professional image. If you want to be treated professionally, present a professional image. Set up a separate bank account for your business. Install a separate phone and fax line. Create professional marketing materials. Be courteous and pleasant in all your customer-facing interactions. Basically, be someone people want to do business with.

Automate your business as much as possible. Granted, you are just one person (right now) and might have a lot of extra time to take care of all the details. This might work for now but won’t work into the future as you get busier and busier. It’s best to set up automatic systems and processes right from the start to free up your time to concentrate on the most profitable activities.

Working at home can be a dream come true for many people, and these days with computers and the internet, it’s more realistic than ever before. That said, building a business requires strong prioritizing skills and self discipline to take action toward your goals. If you have these qualities and are committed to doing whatever it takes to be successful, the dream of working from home can soon become your reality.

The Most Obvious Secret In Affiliate Marketing

By David Bazhaw on April 23, 2023 in Blog

Everyone wants to get ahead of the game, and its common that people have used unscrupulous methods, spam and scams to achieve those ends. I would like to suggest that you don’t have to do those, and all it takes is one thing, the best kept secret in affiliate marketing!

If you realize, affiliate marketing is a simple thing to do. You merely find a hot product in a market, and drive traffic that converts. Your cost of promotion will
turn up to be really a way to help you to make profits. Its just a business expense.

At the end of the day, people who forget the aim of affiliate marketing will get extremely frustrated and confused. Is it really just about putting up Google pay-per-click ads? Or is it about using search engine optimization?

In my opinion, the most obvious secret in affiliate marketing is really the idea of being an affiliate. What does it mean? Affiliating means you create some kind of
relationship with the people you connect with. It describes the closeness that you have with people. After all, if you are using affiliate marketing, isnt it important for you connect with people? So let me ask: do you call your affiliates?

Do you contact people to meet them up face to face?

Sure, there are constraints, but consider the possibilities.

As an affiliate marketer, there are three concrete ways to enhance your relationship with your affiliates.

First, give them a priority call on a regular basis. Once you feel that you have a good fit with your affiliates, call them to let them know how important it is for
you to have a connection with them. Often, teleseminars can be run to develop a positive learning atmosphere with your audience while allowing a guest to come on the call to contribute. If you want to learn about teleseminars, the best person in the industry is probably my friend, Alex Mandossian. You can find him at

Second, understanding what they are able to do, and write about them on a regular basis so as to beef up their credibility in the eyes of your audience. While you might think this is a complete waste of time, its a process known as edification. When you edify a person positively, they gain credibility. It also helps you foster a positive relationship with them. One person I know who talks about this a lot is Matt Morris, the founder and CEO of Success University. You can find out what his business is (hint it has got everything to do with affiliating) at

Third, help plug any gaps they might have. Its always useful to help other people to plug in their gaps, especially if there are problems with some area of their
business. Do it discreetly. Many times, however, a small gesture like this can bring you a very long way.

Ways You Can Work From Home Online

By David Bazhaw on April 22, 2023 in Blog

Working from home is something a lot of people would love to do and spend lots of time trying to find the perfect way to do it with the least hassle possible. More and more people are discovering they can work from home and finding the right at-home business that works for them. Part time and full-time income vary on how much time you spend with her your business, and for the first few months it will be slow going. For this reason, it is probably smart to keep your current job until the ball gets rolling with your home business enough to replace your other job. So what types of home based businesses can you do?

Surveys: This is a popular form to get a decent income online. You sign up at a site that will send you surveys for market research, let you be in focus groups, and even let you try a product for free so that you can give feedback to the company trying to perfect it for a wide release or in the hope you’ll do business with them later. Phone surveys are common from these companies as well, so be prepared to get a few calls and answer some surveys over the phone. High paying surveys are not always available and a lot of your income will depend on the need for the survey at any given time as well as if you fit the target demographic the company is looking for.

eBay: Or any other popular online auction site like Yahoo’s auctions, ubid.com, and onsale.com. It is well known people make very comfortable incomes doing online auctions full time. Finding what to sell is very important and even the perfect product is subject to swings in the public’s mind of what’s valuable. There are many tools to find what is popular and selling like crazy on eBay. And once you discover what you want to sell there’s companies to buy from to resell on eBay. Often, to avoid having pallets and boxes of product at their home, some marketers will use a Drop shipping company to deliver the product to the winning bidder. Having the inventory at home and using a drop shipper have their advantages and disadvantages, but it will depend a lot on what you chose to sell. Using eBay could be an entire article in itself, so let’s move on as other articles will delve into this more than I will in this article.

Affiliate Marketing: This is big business in the internet world. All it really is is selling someone else’s product and you make a commission on every sale. Some popular websites that use affiliates to sell are Clickbank and Commission Junction. You can be an affiliate to sell virtually anything on the internet. Sizable incomes are made using this approach alone. The most effective way to do this is to have your own website, then send you visitors to the affiliate’s main page to finish the sale. If you are very good at AdWords, you can do this without having a website at all. AdWords can be very expensive to the inexperienced and is NOT recommended if you are starting out.

This should set you in a good direction if you are looking to work at home. There are more ways than this to have a home-based internet business and the more you research what you want to do the more ways you’ll find you can make money online. Don’t give up if it doesn’t start happening immediately. Rome wasn’t built in a day, these things take time.

When Do you decide NOW IS THE TIME to be

By David Bazhaw on April 19, 2023 in Blog

When Do you decide NOW IS THE TIME to be my own boss and work from home.

I worked for a major company as an executive for over 20 years. I would work long hours and spend many hours traveling to and from work. I use to think what am I doing I could be working for myself and making money for ME and not for someone else!

I use to make millions of dollars for the company I worked for and through this business I have learnt a lot which I now use to make money for myself.

When do you decide enough is enough and I no longer want to commute backwards and forwards when I could work from HOME in my own business. If I worked from home my workdays would be shorter because I wouldn’t need to travel very far just from one room to another :-), I know that working from home can be difficult but if you do what I do and have a room setup as an office so when you are in there working it is your place of work…Sure the kids can still come in and get you or you could step out to make a coffee and a snack…But the beauty of working from home is that you are there and can manage your day as to how much time you are willing to put into your business.

Many people like me start their home business before they quit their fulltime job, which I might say is a very good way to do it…We all need money from one source or another.

I was so glad when I found the PIPS Program (check out pips.html in resource box) it is such a Great work from home opportunity. It allows you to start either slowly or rapidly your choice. There is the great 30 day training program as well, where you learn everything you need to know about successfully building your internet business.

I believe I have made the right decision to work from home. You see when working from home and on your own schedule you are your own boss and creator of your destiny. Don’t get me wrong IM no slouch I work very hard at working my business to be successful. Just because you work for yourself doesn’t mean that it is easier…Sure it is less stressful as there is no one on your back to get things done within a certain timeframe, but I am on my own back to get things done, I set goals.

It is important when you work from HOME for yourself that you have goals, it is so easy to fall into the I cant be bothered doing anything today mode. If you work from home for yourself you need to keep focused and motivated, as the saying goes keep on keeping on….

I think everyone knows when they want to work from home and be their own boss….The time comes when you think that`s it no more!!!….And then and only then will you be committed at building your business….Remember you can start building your business slowly and then when you are earning enough to cover what you are earning in your job then you can say seeya later….IM off to work my OWN HOME BUSINESS

You will know when the time is right for you I hope you are not like me and think about it for ages before you take the plunge…I only wished I did it sooner…

Goodluck in whatever home business you decide to do…..
