Ah, the wonderful world of internet gurus.  Most are anything but.

The definition of a guru is:  A teacher and guide, trusted counselor, advisor or mentor.  A recognized and acknowledged influential advocate in a particular field.  

We throw the words “internet guru” around way too loosely everyday.  There are very few people online that fit the actual definition, which by the way, says nothing about the accumulation of wealth.

There are a number of experts online that share their expertise in exchange for money.  This to me is a much better definition, that said, how do these experts, or if you insist, Guru’s, make money online?

 The fact of the matter is, most no longer practice what they preach, which is not a bad thing… unless they lead you to believe they do.

I have no problem with someone who knows exactly how something is done and charges people to share that knowledge.  It is also not a requirement that he or she actually participate in what they are teaching, so long as the information is current and valid, and at one point, they actually did… successfully.

Most Gurus operate this way.  Some of the best minds on the internet teach what it was they did to become successful and no longer actually do it.

To become an expert, one must resist the urge to try and do a bunch of different things.  We need to focus on one way to make money online and then become the very best we can be at doing it.  

We must learn every aspect of the marketing method we choose and apply that knowledge on a consistent basis.  Eventually you begin to have success and feel the need to share your knowledge with others.

It is only fair then, to exchange that knowledge for money if you wish to, and that, my friend, is how Gurus make money online.

Let me start by saying that success is a choice. Anybody can choose to succeed regardless of the circumstances around them. The essential thing that you need to achieve anything is to build your self esteem. Your self esteem is the value that you put on yourself. It’s the person you see when you look in the mirror. I learned a long time ago from my coach that you can expect great things from people who feel good about themselves. They can push themselves; they can set long term goals. They have dream that everyone expect to be fulfilled. People with high self esteem are risk takers but more important, they are achievers. Conversely, people with low self esteem are unfocused and so easily frustrated. . They tend to be underachievers and have lack of discipline. All of these things are patterns that can be change easily if following a few steps.
Step 1. Decide to succeed.
The way you decide is by becoming a collector of great ideas where you keep a journal of your thoughts. Find someone who’s already the results that you want and do the same thing.

Step 2. Know your outcome.
It’s not what you can do in life that makes the difference. It’s what you will do. Often people don’t follow through because they don’t know what they want and when they do know they’re afraid to take action.

Step 3. Have a good Plan and raise your standards
Develop the habit of chunking by starting to tackle one manageable piece of project at a time. Have a plan for today, for tomorrow and a plan for the future. Raise your standards and turn your “Should” into “must” when something is a must you will follow through on it.

Step 4. Develop a strategy that works and start taking action now.
You won’t produce an extraordinary business if you only plan and talk about it. You need to take action. If what you’re doing is not working, you need to change your approach. And when challenges come start seeing them as an opportunity to grow. Also understand that it takes time to build a business, it takes time to master something new. It takes time to make improvements. Time is always on your side and a delay in something does not mean a denial.

To your Well Being

Wow! Who would ever thought that I could  own a people search engine. Well it all started by clicking on a simple link to an article on twitter. The article talked about owning your own search engine and quite frankly I did not even know what that meant… LOL!.  But anyway I kept reading the  article and was drawn more and more to it.  I clicked on the link provided and I signed up on the spot!

I was intrigued by the genius of this system, mind you the “pitch page is not even that Fancy” but I can tell you that I read the whole thing. I’m wondering  how the hell do these guys dream up these systems.  In my mind this is the simplest way to put money in my pocket  fast and it’s pretty automated. So whoever tweeted that link I want to a thank you.!  The set up was so easy I did it in 15 minutes and of course I was anxious to search my own name first and it works like a charm. Yes ..! My own people search engine works for real!

The lesson of the story is people that provide good value on twitter and in their article will always reap the rewards and I am living proof of it.  So whoever tweeted that article link thanks again because now I  got me a pretty cool new toy

Branding is absolutely necessary when you have an online business.  Branding You as the leader is even more crucial if you looking to have a long term success on the internet. Unfortunately not everybody knows how to go about it the effective way so here’s one good tip to keep in mind. when you join a network marketing company instead  branding the company’s website and lose thousands of prospect, it is best to start branding YOU as the leader.  As you may well know people don’t join company they join leaders. If they see you as the leader that can direct them where they want to go they will put their trust in you.  But how do you go about branding yourself?  Good question Iam glad that you ask.  To start branding you, you need to start creating relationship with people by sharing valuable information  that can help them grow as a marketer, an entrepreneur, and as a person. In other words, your name need to start coming up in their mind when they need help with marketing or personal growth or whatever you’re sharing with them.   To even make things easier, you might want to consider having a system in place that can help you speed up that process.  One system that I personally use is mlmleadsystempro and I can tell you the effectiveness of that system really blows my mind. I have not seen anything like it.    So if you are not already branding yourself, you need to start TODAY.. I am Serious  and very Certain that if you do you will see a big shift on how you do business online.

A belief is nothing more than a feeling of absolute certainty about what something means. What we believe shape our behavior. Beliefs can be conscious or unconscious and often stem from things we’ve heard, seen, felt a lot of emotion about and then repeated to ourselves over and over again.

 I cannot tell enough you how important this is because for years I have struggle in my business and never could figure out why.  I know that I have done what I was supposed to do daily but still could not rip any rewards.   I have copied the exact step of my mentor in the way he did things and still could not even come close to what he was accomplishing. Man…  I felt frustrated, angry, disappointed, and resentful and all emotions you could imagined.  Then one day I decided to start looking for answers and find out what was keeping me from accomplishing my dreams.  I went to a life coaching seminar and I finally realize that I was the one stopping my success through my own limiting belief. In other word there was conflicted belief that I had about my business and that’s what was causing me to fail. In one hand I am doing all the activities to get my business to grow and on the other hand I’m thinking this probably will never work and that belief was far more stronger than whatever  effort  I was putting in. I always heard people saying that we are the one limiting ourselves but I never really understood how until it was explained to me in details.

I have come to understand that everything we think or do is a cause in motion. Every one of our thoughts and actions is going to have an effect or result in our lives. Our results begin to “stack up” to take our lives in a particular direction. The reason why most people don’t change is because we rationalize things we tell ourselves stories, and lie to ourselves to make us feel better.   We give ourselves reason not to do something for example we rationalize by saying things like “ I don’t have the time”  “Well I am tired I’ll do it tomorrow”,  “this is too hard” Or this cost too much “ etc. We fell into this trap over and over again and if you can identify with my experience, here is one exercise you can do to help guide you get over this cycle.

Take a piece of paper and start writing down all Old belief that you have about a certain area in your life.   To do this exercise you really need to be honest with yourself 

For example lets use” Make money online” Although you may be working online but deep down inside your belief may be “It’s hard to make money Online” whether you realize it or not that belief may be so strong in your subconscious mind that whatever you do does not pull through for you and therefore start rationalizing which drives you to procrastinate on certain task.

 The way to change that is to reverse that belief and Write down the new belief that will empower you from this point forward.   Using that same example..: instead of believing “It’s hard to make money online” reverse it with “It’s harder NOT TO make money online”

Another example of old beliefs could be:” It’s difficult to lose 10Lbs”   Replace it with “it’s even worse or more difficult if I don’t lose that 10lbs because it drains my energy “or I can’t afford not  to lose that extra 10lbs I must work at it until it’s done “

Start repeating your new belief to yourself daily until it becomes real and it starts to come naturally for you. Make all your new belief a MUST so that you can take action that corresponds with what you believe in.

 To your well being,

Goals are map to your destiny. It involves establishing specific, measurable. and time targeted objectives.  No experience aside from loving and being loved are as intense and rewarding as achieving your goals. The greater your goals the greater your joy of achieving them. 

To be on track to achieving your goals, there are just a few principles that you need to follow. First, you want to experience the achievement of your goal before achieving your goal and do this routinely. The most powerful place to do that is with your imagination. Start visualizing and experiencing the feeling of achieving that goal consistently will help you stay Focus and motivated.

Second, you need to be specific.   “I want to be a millionaire” or “I want to lose weight” are not goals, they are wishes. Wishes only become goals when there is a plan made to attain them; a plan with specific targets. This starts with making your overall goal specific as in “I will lose 20lbs by Dec 2009” or I want to be worth 1 million dollar by Jan 2011.

Reaching any goal is a project and with any project you need to break it down into achievable steps. It must include measurable targets and measurable results.  Instead of “I want to  be rich”, establish a specific timeline with goals at 1 month, 6 months , 1 year   or 3 years.   Sometimes you may not hit your target by the specific time and that’s where a lot of people get discourage and quit.   Well let me ask you this if you were following a map to go somewhere and you still got lost would you quit and sleep on the side of the road forever?  Or would you try to figure out how to get to your destination?  The reason you set up a date is to keep you focus and have something to work toward. Even if you don’t hit your target you need to continue to take action until it’s done.

 Last but not least, act upon achieving that goal and don’t be passive. Follow everything plan step by step. Don’t just wait for things to happen.  Repeat your action day by day. Affirm with faith and feelings that your goal has already been achieved so that your subconscious mind can pick it up which will then provide you with more desire and motivation that will make you unstoppable.

To your success,

Most entrepreneurs fail at least once if not a dozen times. The characteristic that defines a successful entrepreneur is how you handle failure.  Most people always have some anxiety when starting something new and that’s normal.  Honestly if you are not scared a little , your goals probably are not worth much. The only way to overcome your fear of failure is to have the courage to face it and you face it by taking actions. What separates the successful people from those who are not is that they are risk takers. The risk takers have the belief that the “unknown” is not a place to avoid. Fear of failure should be use as a motivation to want to know the outcome. The best thing to do is to use that same fear as a drive to take risk and get it done even if the outcome does not measure your expectations.

Refuse to be daunted by the unknown, have a strong vision and take massive actions. Yes I promised you along the way you are going to make mistakes , some big, some small but don’t worry about those mistakes because it equals experience for you. Falling short does not mean you should stop, if you embrace failures along with successes, learning from each and trying again, you are bound to grow and flourish.

Take a leap of faith – faith in yourself to overcome any obstacle, any problem, any situation. Have the courage to really live life, and if you occasionally fail, just get up, dust yourself off, and try again. Each of us has the will and courage to succeed, it’s simply not recognizing that fact that sometimes stands in our way.

Twitter is now the hottest social media platform to do business. It allows us to break the ice so we can meet new people and make friends rapidly.  However, if you want to use twitter to get new customers, there are just a few principles that you have to follow to make that happen and I will show you exactly the steps you need to take to using twitter effectively.

First and foremost you obviously need a twitter account. After setting up a twitter account, you want to personalize your profile and give a brief description about you and whatever you are passionate about. Doing that will help people know what you really all about. The main principle that you want to apply is the law of giving and receiving.  You give by focusing on improving people’s lives first with your expertise within your niche market.  Next, you need to establish a system for getting not just any followers but the right followers.

One quick way you can do that is to write down the top 5 well known expert within your industry and start following them and their followers. You want to follow as many people as you can on their first five pages. To increase the chance of people following you back, start a simple conversation with one of the top expert within your niche market.

 Once you start increasing your followers, make a plan to start tweeting about things that can educate people and share your tip and life lessons about a particular subject or just regular things that happen in your life from a day to day basis that is worth sharing.  One principle that you have to keep in mind is that people usually buy things from people that they trust so it is your absolute duty to build familiarity and trust with all your followers.  Don’t get caught up into selling people so much that you neglect the most important fact of creating relationship.  If you want to succeed in life you have to put people’s interest at heart and then you will be rewarded for that later.

To be super effective using twitter requires you to take consistent action and interaction between you and your followers by asking questions and also taking the time to reply to direct messages that stand out. Once you develop that kind of relationship with your followers, you want to start introducing your product or service. Whatever product or services that you are promoting, your first goal is to educate people about it and tell them the benefits of your product or services. One effective way to tell people about your offer is to make a simple video and tweet that video link to let followers know about it. Following these simple steps and bringing value to your followers will not only increase business but also branding you as the expert.  

 To your Success,

This little free resource creates 50-100 leads per day!….Curious to what it is?

With the internet, there is the potential to make a lot of money and market your product and services to the right clientele.  Whether you a fulltime or part time business owner, your success will depend on the marketing that you do so let’s down to business and see what you need to do to start profiting from online marketing.  Here’s the top five of my favorite way of marketing online.

1.      Free Classified

This way of marketing can be gold for anyone especially if you are on a low budget. You always want to test the market and see how they will react to your product or services that you have to offer and using free classified is the best way to do that. Before promoting anything on a free classified, I usually go and check the kind of traffic that particular sites have. To do that, you go to Alexa.com and type in the name of the sites and see the traffic ranking. Anything below 150k is a great site to advertise on.  In my opinion, the favorite days to post is Tuesdays and Thursdays because the sites tend to have lots more traffic on those days.

2.      Video Marketing

Video marketing is another powerful way to market your mlm business. The reason why it is one of the preferred ways of marketing by many is because of the connection that you can create with your audience. Think about it, people are looking at you, they see your body language, they can tell if you are sincere or not and they have a chance to get to know you and feel related to you in many level. So when making a video, you want to be yourself and you also want to talk about a variety of topic that you know your target market would like information on.

3.      Article Marketing

Article marketing is king when it comes to the cheapest and easiest way to make money promoting your mlm business. Imagine the ability to offer your advice and express your opinions about a certain topic within your target market by writing articles. People will be drawn to you simply writing about relevant topic with your market that can help them. Giving great information will attract them to you and therefore will become loyal readers of your article. The best part is you get to direct them to your website for more information.

4.      Social Media

This form of marketing is pretty “Hot” these days especially when it’s done right. When using a social media platform such as twitter, face book or MySpace, the first thing that you want to do is to make friends and start to know people within the community. You do not want to start promoting your business on these sites right away because people will simply ignore you.

Once you start building relationships within the community, you want to start sharing valuable content with them on just about anything including your business.  What makes social media so good is that once people start having an interest in what you have to say and you’re sharing content that are  liking back to your website, the search engine will pick up on that link and that will create organic traffic to your website that help your Search Engine Ranking.

5.      Adverting Programs/Traffic Exchange

A lot of people have overlooked this type of marketing strategy. I find that traffic exchange and other advertising programs can do wonders to your mlm business. Some advertising programs have all the marketing tools that you need to promote your business and most of them are free with the option to upgrade to a bigger package later. One of the best one I know is ISORregister.  These ways of promoting earn you exposure of your own page for every 1-2 pages you view. Traffic exchanges can be effective promotional because everyone is on there clicking links to earn credits so other users will see their site when surfing. They aren’t really interested that much in what they are viewing. The best thing to promote on traffic exchanges is…..traffic. Ways to get visitors to your site, get your site listed in search engines, this type of ad does best in these programs. If you are advertising your network marketing business, your best bet is to create a small page that offers a free report or some other freebie in exchange for people joining your mailing list.

 In conclusion, one thing that you need to keep in mind is that all marketing requires consistency, testing, and having the patience to see the results. It is essential to keep track of all your marketing so that you can differentiate the one that are pulling the best result for you.

To your success,

PS: OMG! This Letter has changed my whole perspective on generating leads even if you have never marketed online before, I’m glad sophia pointed it out to me  at http://www.wealthreportdaily.com and I was able to thoroughly study it.

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared.  In other to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don’t just jump right in unprepared.

 The same  should be apply to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who’d have you believe it’s a “Walk in the Park” and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

 And I’ll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

 Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

 My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, “what comes first the chicken or the egg”? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion – I have no clue and I don’t think many of us do either.

 But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

 Passion in this sense simply means that you’ve researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.

 I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I’m concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.

 Now, I’m not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join – but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

 It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won’t attempt to do the work you are being taught.

 Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won’t stumble.

 You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!

 Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don’t find it move on,You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.

 Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I’ll start that business – does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet “guru” does that, don’t be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

 By the way, if your goal is to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

 Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don’t first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.

Not being Passionate about a company’s products and services that has market proof that it will Sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.
