How Do You Define Success?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Before you can truly become successful, you have to know what your actual definition of success is.  For some, they see successful as someone who has  large home, stylish clothes, fancy cars, and expensive toys.  Others have simpler definitions.  While one person may feel extremely successful just by being able to support themselves without having to work a traditional job, others may see that as a real failure.

Personally, I see myself as extremely successful.  I’m not yet as successful as I know I can be someday.  In the future, I see myself having enough money to help others on a regular basis through charitable donations.  Once I am making enough money to not only pay my own bills, but to help those less fortunate without harming my own lifestyle, I will consider myself as successful as I personally wish to be.

Thinking of Giving Up?

Monday, January 4th, 2010

I know it’s tough to keep going when you feel like giving up.  It’s frustrating when you feel like you’ve been trying for a long time and you haven’t gotten anywhere.  I spent the first several years of my business career freelancing at mostly ridiculously low wages, because I just couldn’t seem to make money any other way.

There were so many times when I just wanted to give up.  Sometimes I was so down on myself that I just felt worthless.  I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t making any money when I felt like I was trying so hard! Read More→

It’s Okay to Fire Clients!

Monday, January 4th, 2010

As a freelancer, I used to think that every client was vital to my business.  I kept going over in my head again and again that old adage, “The customer is always right!”

Fortunately, I finally came to my senses!

You see, as a freelancer, your time IS money.  If you let them, some clients will suck up all your time an energy and actually end up COSTING you money.

Let’s think about this for a moment.  Let’s say you average $25 per hour when you are actively working.  Now you have a value on your time, so you can use that to calculate how much money you’re losing on a particular client. Read More→

ClickBank Gravity

Monday, January 4th, 2010

There’s a lot of confusion regarding ClickBank’s infamous gravity score.  Most people don’t understand exactly what it means, and even those who do understand it are often not sure exactly what it means to them specifically.

In short, the gravity score is a method of figuring out how many affiliates are promoting a particular product – no more, no less.  In other words, it’s an indicator of competition from other webmasters promoting the product.  Read More→

Introduction to Traffic Generation

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Traffic generation is probably the one thing people struggle with the most when they first get started in internet marketing, but if you want to make money online, it’s the one thing you really MUST master.  If your site doesn’t get traffic, it might as well not even exist.

Traffic is especially tricky, because there is so much competition in almost every imaginable niche.  With so much competition, everyone who is competing ends up getting less traffic.  Most of the traffic goes to the few authority sites that dominate the search engines, and the rest have to fight for what’s left, like a pack of wild dogs fighting over a carcass that’s been picked over by a mountain lion.
