How To Find the Right Domain For Your Business

A Domain Name is a name given to your website that gives you an identity on the web and is the name by which your site will be identified.   Every website has its own domain name, there will never be 2 with the same name unlike an offline business or franchise where the brand name IS the business.

For example, compare a Domain Name to an offline Franchise Name such as McDonalds;  if this was an online business and you were buying into McDonalds you would look for a Domain Name, preferably with the McDonalds brand but the Top Level Domain i.e. www.McDonalds.com will not be available as it will be used by the overall business owner.  So, what you would do in effect is to look for perhaps McDonaldsburgers.com or McDonaldsRealBeef.com.

I made 2 short videos that I hope explains it a bit further:

Follow Your Dreams!

I remember quite a few years back being told by a senior manager that I had a unique ability to engage people and make them feel they could do anything.  This has always remained with me and although I don’t intentionally set out to ‘push people to achieve’ I naturally find myself doing it.

You see the way I learn is through doing or listening to other people relate their experiences, their failures and successes.  This does not mean I still don’t try things that haven’t worked for others, I do what I think is right and best for me.  I never allow anyone telling me I cannot do something to stand in the way of my success, to the contrary.

Success is a very personal thing but I think most people would agree that success is about being fulfilled in your life.   It’s that warm feeling you have, knowing you’re doing OK but more importantly that you are making a difference in other people’s lives.  Now this doesn’t mean heading off to third world countries to do voluntary work although that is highly commendable.  No, what I mean is just touching briefly into the lives of others.

There are lots of people I remember and think highly of and every one of those is because I can remember how I felt when I was around them.  Most are positive and the others – well, I just choose a different path than the one they are on.

The end result is the happiness I have and peace of mind now to know that I always do my best by others and if I can reach out a hand to help, that hand is there and I will stretch it as far as it needs to go.

How would you like to be able to look back on your life with a huge smile on your face knowing you made many of your dreams come true and you made a difference in others’ lives and helped them realise their own dreams?

Here’s a short video I shot with a few personal photos of people and things that are important in my life – everything else is the small stuff and I don’t sweat that!

C’mon, 5* luxury vacation awaits you!

This is just a very short snapshot of hundreds of other luxurious villas and condos that await you through this exclusive Private Vacation Club.  Forget timeshare and those exortionate management fees that increase by large percentages year on year, forget returning to the same resort, same villa year after year.  Experience the holidays of a lifetime, or several each year when you see how ridiculously low these prices are.

This is not hype, nor BS but straight up an outstanding offer for you, your family, friends or whoever you want to share with.  You can stay in the very same standard of accommodation that your friend/relative/neighbour paid thousands and thousands of dollars for at the start and where they continue to pay those huge management fees annually.  No siree, what they have is here waiting for you at mere pennies in the dollar.

Oh and did I mention it is also an exceptionally lucrative business opportunity that you can promote and in the process earn $500 immediately on each sale.  But forget about making huge amounts of money, what you are doing with this opportunity is giving something to others.  People who may never be able to afford to stay in these luxurious timeshare and upper end of the market accommodation now can!  It is all about helping others – in this case that help extends to stopping your friends/family etc getting ripped off by those travel agents and others who have made lots and lots of money from all of us.

What you waiting for – find out more from taking this no obligation short tour and you will immediately see how this genuine opportunity will virtually return your money back on the first vacation or sale you take or make – it really is that simple.  Why pay up to $1000 for a week of luxury when with a bit of planning, you can get it for $100 – there’s another 9 similar vacations waiting for you for the rest of the year – can’t get that much time off work?  Get out of that rat race, see the business opportunity within this and start working from home.   As many luxury vacations await you then because who’s going to tell you then you can’t get the time out of the office!!!!

I’m ready now to find out more Trish.  OK, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer –

and enjoy………

I Cannot Stand Internet Marketing

Does this title immediately grab you and make you want to read more?  Well it did with me about an hour ago whilst browsing in one of the popular IM forums of which I am a member.

Here is an excerpt of some of the author’s frustrations - “people preaching trickery. Whether it be tricking search engines or people, it’s just not fair.  I suppose if I want to leave one message to whoever has read this far, it’s to remember that there are people behind those sales and profit numbers. There are people that will be putting their hard-earned money into what you sell, and there are people who’s lives you are making harder by trying to make a quick buck.   Every time you claim a system to make $x per month, you raise someone’s hopes – and exploiting their human nature to respond to that hope when you know it’s not possible is just inhumane.”

The person posting had left life in the ‘Corporate Rat Race’ for the next best thing that was Internet Marketing and was lured by what he termed ‘the dazzling claims of fortune.’  In summary and what he was actually saying was that almost everyone in the industry lured people in under false pretences.  Each promised that their opportunity was the next best thing and the author of this post claimed to have tried all these things and not earned a cent.

Now I have written several articles relating to this very thing.  Yes there are sharks out there, yes the internet is full of people making false income claims and yes a clear conscience is not something that a lot of people fall asleep with at night!  On the other hand however, it is very easy to point the finger of blame at everyone else when things do not happen.  Amongst the sharks, there are lots of good honest individuals making money on the internet in an ethical and moral way and I am one of those people.

I read this person’s post with great interest and could relate not only to him but to the many others who responded both with agreeing and opposing points of view.  Ultimately, we are responsible for our own destiny and if you think someone is making false income claims, ask to see evidence of this before you sign up for anything if you have the least suspicion.

Adopting the Correct Mindset to Succeed in Business

Don’t fall for the hype

The REAL secret to Making Money Online and what most people do not do

Making money online is a skill and just like any other skill in life, it CAN be taught.  Many people online teach how to make money, or claim to teach this but what they are doing in effect is trying to sell lame products.

How do you actually make money online?

Similar to any offline business, there is a system to success, it is no good starting out in a web business ‘hoping’ and ‘wishing’ and sitting with fingers crossed; there is a process to learn and you need to learn what this process is.

Does this process take time to learn?   Yes it does and it took me 5-6 months to really learn what it was all about.  Does it work?  You bet it does but you really do need to know what you are doing if you want to build a sustainable business and you are in it for the long haul.

4 main elements to online success

Basically there are 4 main elements, all equally vital to online success and these are:   Having the correct attitude, the right mindset

• Knowing some simple web skills
• Having a product(s) (be it yours or someone elses)
• Having the skills to market your product

You have the correct mindset already if you are reading this article, because it means you are interested in, or are considering moving towards an online business.

If you are serious about wanting to make money online and you have a fear of the web, you need to get over this.  I am sure 99% of people have this fear when they first start off and I was no different.

Products – this is where I see a lot of people make mistakes.  A large majority of new marketers will spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars buying a vast range of products from experienced marketers with great promises of ‘riches’ by simply selling them on.  What happens in many cases are these products, be they DVDs, CD ROMs or elearning materials end up gathering dust under the bed, in the garage or sitting on a computer hard drive and never opened up.  Why is this?  It is because most people do not know WHAT to actually do with the products.

Do you know how the majority of people make their money online?  They sell directly to their own list.  This means they sell directly to people who are already on their database.  How do they get people on this database?  Well they work very hard to capture our details when we first visit their website, we enter our name and email and we are entered straight into the marketers’ list or database.

How do they make money from their list?

The marketers spend a lot of time and energy into building their list by sending out regular emails talking about themselves and offering value to the people on their list by way of free products etc.  They start to build up respect and trust with the people on their lists and then every time they have a product, they send out an email to this list.  Because they have spent time cultivating and building a relationship with their list, it normally always results in a sale.   You will hear the saying time and time again in internet marketing “the money is in the list” and this is absolutely true.

I see many newcomers to the industry make the same mistake in believing that simply having a product online will result in sales.  This may have been true some 8 or 9 years ago but no more.

Common mistakes made

As outlined above, many people misled into the industry believing they will make their fortune overnight become rapidly disillusioned.  Their initial all important enthusiasm (correct mindset and attitude) gets slowly chipped away.  Goodbye excitement quickly changes to hello resentment and they will start to say things like “the web is a con; you can’t make any money on it….”  Well, yes you can but you need to know WHAT and HOW you should be working your business.

The successful online marketers today work smarter, not necessarily harder but smarter.  By that I mean they focus on building their lists.  This business is a marathon and not a sprint.  You may be excited to get you site online and let everyone know about your product and this is great; this enthusiasm is encouraged and supported.

However, if you could just slightly change your thinking to concentrate, at least for a while on simply building a list, this will probably be the one defining element that will separate you from the majority of people who do NOT make money online.

In summary, the three most important elements to your business are:

• Building your list
• List building
• Building your list

There is a HUGE difference between having a website and having a business.  Whilst you do need a website, there are thousands if not millions of websites out there not making money.  Therefore having a website is not having a web business.

Having a product is also NOT a business, again there are hundreds of thousands of websites that have a product but make no money.

So, to finish off, what is the key to having a successful online web business?  The answer………Customers - or in other words ‘YOUR LIST’.

What is the purpose of writing articles?

What is the purpose of writing articles?

The purpose of writing articles is first and foremost to educate people, to give something of value to the reader, to pass your knowledge or expertise of a particular subject onto others.

Within the internet marketing industry and in fact many other industries, it can be a lucrative way of driving traffic to your website and the other real beauty is it is FREE.  What I love about Ezine Articles is that writing just one article can mean a Google position on many different pages within your niche.  The added bonus is that once you have had your article published, it is out there sending traffic to you for many, many years to come.

Before writing – what is the purpose of your specific article?

Any good article author will tell you that you should always sit down before you write any article and determine what the purpose of that particular article is.  For example, if your intention is to rate in the Search Engines then you will need to use long tail keywords so your article will appear when people type that keyword into the Search Engine.

If you are writing an article to submit to a blog post or a niche related forum where your target  market hangs out, then you don’t even need to bother too much about keywords at all.  Your purpose on this occasion is not to appear on the Search Engine Results page but to offer something of value to your hungry audience.

Search Engine Ratings or Value to the Reader?

I have never written any article yet that has started with me aiming solely to get ratings in the search engines.  Instead what I have tried to do is to answer the questions that I sought answers to when I first came into internet marketing.  If during my many visits to the forums that are out there, I see a reoccurring question then I will do some research if necessary and attempt to write an article on that also.  Again this is about providing value rather than ratings.

Now this doesn’t mean that I totally ignore the Search Engines but just that I do not dwell on it so much.  The day I made the decision to no longer focus on keywords, keywords, and more keywords was the day I felt a huge burden lift from me.

There is also a lot of software out there that promises to take the ‘arduous’ task of writing articles away from you.  Some claim that you only need write one article and their software will spin it to make several more articles out of that one.

My question to you then is “what is your purpose of writing articles?”  “What are you attempting to achieve?”  I ask this because in my opinion, the fact that you have opted for an easy way out suggests that this is all about ‘you’ and ‘taking’ rather than ‘giving’ value to your readers first and foremost.

Internet Marketing – Newbies can’t teach me anything!

Well, how arrogant does that title sound when you read it aloud?

But it was a comment made to me the other day and I have to admit it left me quite shocked.  I was showing a contact on one of the social networking sites some excellent training I had received and the remark to me was “how can someone who has only been in the Internet Marketing business for less than 2 years teach me anything”?

The successful Internet Marketer I had introduced this person to is an Award Winning Internet Coach, and when he hosts webinars, no less than 800 of his members turn out to hear and be educated with what he has to teach.  So, for someone to make such a snap judgement after listening to only a few minutes intro, left me quite speechless (not an easy feat by any stretch of the imagination lol).

You see, I have never been someone who is afraid to admit they don’t know something and I always say “a day wasted is a day I haven’t learned something”.  I am never too proud to ask whoever is the best person to teach me how to do something and that is because I do not judge people.

What I’ve found since coming into this industry is there are a lot of ruthless people – yes we find this in all walks of life but there seems to be an abundance of them in Internet Marketing.  People who profess to ‘know it all’ and really only ‘think they know it all’.  No human being ever ‘knows it all’ when it comes to anything, there is always room for improvement.

So, please forgive me venting in this blog post, but my message is to this type of person ‘don’t think you’re all that, allow yourself to swallow that pride you have but be careful of choking!  I would also ask you to be prepared to accept that newer people into the industry bring fresh eyes to what is an ever evolving and fast moving business that doesn’t rest on its laurels – you may do this inadvertently because ‘no-one can teach you anything’ and this will be at your peril!

Hot off the Press – Luxury Vacation Bargains

I just wanted to quickly get these AMAZING deals out to you before they all get snapped up.

Firstly take a look at these beautiful locations that feature in our highlighted resorts this week.  We stayed at Plantation Island in Florida some years ago and when I say it was luxurious, that is so much of an understatement.  Oh, and by the way, we paid just short of $2500 to stay there for 2 weeks in a 1Bd condo.  Here is some information I took from the resort website and it is someone looking to sell their timeshare apartment there.  Just check out the price then visit the Primo Site to see that you can access this standard of accommodation for the rest of your life for pennies in the dollar.

Plantation Island
Ormond Beach, Florida, United States

Rent: US$1,100/week
Buy: US$7,000 plus closing costs (more info)
Availability: Almost Any Time

Unit Size: 1 Bedroom/1 Bath (sleeps 4)
Check-In Day: Any Day
Available Season: High Season
Use Type: Annual Float Wk

Ownership Type: Deeded Timeshare
Annual Maintenance Fees: US$300

Why on earth would you want to pay out the high costs of timeshare and then an annual maintenance fee – have you lots of money to just throw away?  If so, can you throw it in my direction please?

No, all joking aside, we had timeshare for years and until buying into Primo Vacations, we continued to pay the extortionate annual maintenance fees but NO MORE.  We continue to enjoy the luxury of the accommodation which is important to us on holiday, and all the money we’ve saved I spend on shopping…….

The next thing I want to share with you is these incredible deals, savings of up to 80%+ on many of these 5* resorts.

Check out how you too can make massive savings on luxury holidays for you and your family FOREVER.  Not only that, you can, although you don’t have to make Primo Vacation Club a home business for you and earn $500 on each sale.  Do the math and see how quickly you can give up that day job and really rev up the earning potential.

Work hard = nice relaxing vacations.  Treat you and your family to 5* luxury, no fighting for spots by the pool, mix with like minded people at these resorts (or not if you prefer your own company) – all this for mere pennies in the dollar.

Vacations are a multi billion pound industry – want to be a part of it?  You don’t have to, you can just use it for some great memorable vacations but the option is always there!
