Quite a headline, huh? But it's absolutely true! Long time internet marketer Lee Cornell really has made $400,000 (and counting) using public domain material from a couple of old books from the early 1900's to create an instructional video on how to become a ventriloquist! You know, one of those people who talks to dummies without moving their lips.
As a reminder, public domain works are books, films, audios, maps, documents, images, government publications, etc., that for one reason or another are no longer protected by copyright. You can use this stuff anyway you want to create your own products with no payments, fees, royalties, nothing - to use the original content as your own.
Lee has been a ventriloquist nearly his whole life and picked the niche because it was a passion of his. His original one-page "Ventriloquism 101" website that sold the video has grown into a multi-page resource website for ventriloquists and performers. To date, Lee has made over $400,000 from that initial product! All thanks to public domain.
There is an unlimited supply of public domain materials that can be turned into money making products. Don't think it's possible? Lee will prove otherwise!

As I begin the journey of finishing my working career I look back at messages I have received throughout my lifetime about money and the idea of saving money. Of course, as a young man I never gave much thought to saving. After all I was young and I had a lot of time to save.
It was a plan built on wishes and fantasies. A plan which gave me all sorts of money to party and put me on a path of self-destruction. While I had some amazing times, albeit a bit crazy, the memories have lasted me a lifetime. But those memories did nothing for me when I had an emergency.
It got to a point where I could justify not saving money. After all, with all the debts I had how could I possibly save a penny? The question should have been how could I not save a penny?
One of the easiest ways to save money and to also get a raise in pay is through your pension plan at work (401K). People don't do it because... well it goes back to my early beliefs that I was young and I'll worry about it tomorrow.
Let's look at a simple example of how this can help. This is just an example using simple financial amounts. During the month you make $1000. Let's say that 20% is taken for taxes. Your take home pay is $800. That is everything you make for the month, so saving money is impossible, right? I. Say. Wrong.
I'm still learning the UK pension plans, so I'll use the 401K models that I am used too. Let's say your employer will match your contributions up to 5%. So if you put in 2%, they will contribute 2%. If you put in 3%, they do 3% and so on up to 5%. So if you contribute to a 401K and only contribute 2% (in this example) you are losing money. You are losing 3% of the money your employer would contribute.
In the above example, based on a 100 hour work month, your hourly wage was $10. By contributing 2% to a 401K, which your employer matches your monthly wage grew by $20. An hourly increase of 20 cents. So the hourly wage grew to $10.20. But without taking advantage of the employers 5% maximum the employee is losing $30 a month and 30 cents an hour.
Yes, to get this increase you will have to give money from your check that you say you don't have. 401K contributions are taken into account before taxes. So if you take 5% from your monthly check of $1000, your taxable income is $950. Then the 20% taken from that amount leaves you with a take home check of $760. A loss of $40. But you are adding $50 to your account and your employer is adding another $50. So for the month you added $100 to your account, which only cost you $40.
These are simple figures but it is crazy not to use pension plans to your advantage. I have heard from people in the UK that plans are garbage. The only horrible plan is no plan. To take advantage of any plan, contribute at least the maximum that your employer will match and also look at your plan. Many plans offer different investments to grow your money. From simple safe plans like bonds and CD's to more risky investments from international funds.
Just don't view a plan as rubbish. Look at it, invest in it and make plans for your future.

If you knew that articles were where you were going to be able to get all of your traction... Or guest blogging was where you were going to get all your traction... Or Google+, or Facebook was where you were going to get all of your traction... Then you could take what I just shared with you and you could say, "Okay, I'll just go out and I will become an expert at that one source of traffic."
However, there's a preliminary stage that has to happen. You've got to figure out which one of these is going to work better for you. In the process of figuring out which one is better for you, you might try multiple sources of traffic.
You'll notice I talked about this second, not first. That's because I wanted you to hear what I just said about specialization first, before I talked about trying out the different traffic sources. Because, if you're not careful you'll come away from what I'm getting ready to say, and say "Okay, well they said go out and try 10 different traffic sources."
Then they don't hear the part where I say "for a limited time period."
They try 10 different traffic sources, 10 years later they're still wallowing in 10 different traffic sources, and they've never become an expert. So they're not generating very much traffic.
What I recommend that you do is: choose any, some, or all of these traffic sources that you wish. And you set up a tracking page for every one of these.
For example, if you write an article that goes to EzineArticles, you send them to a unique squeeze page, that has a unique webform code on it, so you know exactly how many subscribers are being generated every single month from those articles.
You know exactly how many subscribers are generated every month from guest blogging.
You know exactly how many subscribers are generated from LinkedIn, from Facebook, from your affiliate program, from anywhere else.
Then you'll combine that with a time sheet. Call it a traffic time sheet. Every time you sit down to work on traffic, you log into your traffic time sheet. You can do this in an Excel spreadsheet. You can do this with pencil and paper.
Here's how to use it:
If you work on articles for 15 minutes you write down "Articles - 15 minutes."
Let's say, for example, that it's April, so you have an April spreadsheet. And it says, "Articles - 15 minutes. LinkedIn - 30 minutes." Then you spend another 20 minutes in Articles, so you need to update Articles to 35 minutes.
At the end of the month you'll be able to see at a glance that you spent 200 minutes on articles. You spent 100 minutes on guest blogging. You spent 75 minutes in LinkedIn. You spent 95 minutes in Facebook. So on, and so on.
Next you're going to look at how many subscribers you generated from each one of those traffic sources. Do the math! For example:
You spent 75 minutes on Facebook and you got 4 subscribers. That's 1 subscriber every 18.5 minutes or so. For articles you get 10 subscribers for 200 minutes of work, that's 1 subscriber per 20 minutes of work. And at the end of the month, you'll be able to say "Okay, from one traffic source I get a subscriber for every 10 minutes of work. From one traffic source I get a subscriber from 20 minutes of work. From another traffic source it takes me 30 minutes of work."
What does this mean?
It means if you're going to continue to do the work in the future, you probably want to get subscribers that are coming in from sources that don't take you as long to get. Or, what it means is, if you hire somebody to do your work for you, you know what to have them do to be the most cost-effective. Let's say you hire somebody for 10 hours a week to do work for you. If you're going to pay them for 10 hours of work a week, you want them on the traffic source that will allow them to generate the most number of subscribers for you as fast as possible.
The only way you will know is with your spreadsheet.

Multiple income streams are possible with internet marketing because it is presents so many opportunities. But first, let's define what a stream of income is and why it would behoove someone to have more than one. An income stream is a source of spendable cash. If you are like most people, your job likely provides almost all, if not all, of the spendable income you have.
A major health problem can curtail the flow of that income if you are unable to go to work. Being laid off is another reason why that source of income could stop flowing. Or, your employer could go out of business. All of these reasons, plus countless others, happen to people in every walk of life each and every day.
The loss of a steady stream of income is very often an immediate problem because most people have very little money salted away for that proverbial rainy day.
One way would be to get a second job. However, that would mean working so many more hours each week that you wouldn't have time to enjoy life. It could also put you under so much more stress that your health could deteriorate. Now, if you got sick, you would interrupt both streams of income. So, a second job probably isn't a good long-term solution.
A better solution would be creating a stream of income that continues even if you can't work, or if you do get laid off. That's where the internet can be a great resource for you. You can pick almost limitless topics there that are of interest to thousands upon thousands of people. Having a huge audience is a must if you want to generate an income stream on the internet. There are people today who have websites where they sell products, books, articles, ideas, services, hobby items, etc.
You get the idea, I'm sure. Each and every one of these websites can be set up in such a way that people can go to them to purchase whatever the site offers. And, best of all, the site's owner doesn't even have to be awake to make money. It's not only a stream of income, but much of the time it is a passive stream of income. That means that the owner isn't even involved in taking a person's order, sending the product, or collecting the payment for whatever has been purchased.
Now, imagine having several of these websites at work for you 24/7 while you go to your regular job. Now, you have multiple streams of income and they won't be interrupted by sickness, a lay-off, or the doors being closed. You might want to investigate this idea further to see if you could do something similar to protect yourself and your loved ones from a disastrous interruption in your normal flow of income. It might even become a whole new full-time job for you. Think about it.

Reaching our goals helps us to believe in ourselves and setting goals is a great way to fuel our ambitions. It isn't just about creating a plan for our success in life, it's also to give us the inspiration we need to reach out and reap more than we ever thought possible. Goals focus our acquiring of knowledge and help us to set our time and resources in an order to get the very best for our situations.
In this article we'll discuss:
Guidance in your niche selection
What are niche goal projections and outcomes?
Are you busy or productive
Ninja productivity hack revealed
Video - Goal projections and outcomes
Guidance in your niche selection
What do you like to do? What are your habits, hobbies, or passions? There are a number of niche choices within any main topic when you break it down.
An example could be Baseball which is a very broad term with lots of competition. If we break that down there are many niche selections to choose from within that keyword: baseball teams, major or minor league, kids, uniforms, statistics, jerseys, caps, equipment, collectables, magazines, etc.
All of these baseball niche can be fine selections to build a website around and can be quite profitable. I have an entrepreneur friend that has a number of sites, one of which is a website about football snack helmets, which has been doing well for a few years now.
Niche - The topic or category that you've chosen for your site.
Goal - The end result that you are seeking.
Projection - An estimation of when the end result will occur,
for example:
First commission sale within 30 days.
>>>>By writing an article per day for 30 days.
First page ranking with my targeted keyword within 30 days.
>>>>By writing posts three times a week for four weeks, with each having an internal link to my targeted keyword page.
What exactly are you going to do to reach your goal? Or what are you willing to give up in exchange for the desired goal? Maybe turn off the TV for a few hours each day, or trade in some wasted time for, that same time being spent to reach your goals.
The law of sowing and reaping
There is a time for sowing and a time for reaping. The time spent sowing, or creating the business can be for years depending on the project and the desired result. Once the sowing time is up, the reaping time can start and be indefinite.
There are many tasks that need to be done with any set goal and each one takes time and effort to complete. I've heard that "excellence is a commitment to completion", so we need to be good finishers of each task and reach our goals.
The time spent sowing can be less depending on the effort given to it. If we sow little we will reap little also. If we are building a website and posting to it once a week it will take quite a while longer to reach our goals of filling it up with quality content, as opposed to posting 3-4 times per week.
Are you busy or productive?
The definition for:
Busy - actively involved in doing something, or having a lot of things to do.
Are we busy doing many things without a proper order or timely, continuous task completion?
Example: spending hours on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter and also additional hours on other things without making posting quality content for our viewers our #1 priority.
It's easy at times to get involved or over-involved in a project that ends up taking a lot more time than we thought but aside from that we'll be more productive and reach our goals quicker if we properly structure our time and always make posting fresh quality content a priority.
Create clear niche images
We need to do some internal and external research and visually see some other website businesses within our niche. This will give a look at how the other niche sites are presenting themselves and their products. The internal research is making a list, over a couple or few days, of things that we love to do, or what are we passionate about. It's best to select a niche that you would like to spend a lot of time and energy on, not one that you'll get bored with or become disinterested with. We can also choose to create a nice affiliate website setup to inform about and promote products, or have a non-profit or personal site (.org). Many website owners have multiple sites.
Create a vision board
Do you have any wall space at home to devote to a vision board? They're great to increase motivation and energize your efforts as you pursue goals.
Take a nice area of wall space and fill it up with goal related images and headlines and pictures that inspire every time you look at it. See, visualize, and feel the goal being reached as you look at the board and are inspired to move forward and achieve. Keep on adding and replacing inspiring images and text to keep it fresh, in sight and also in your mind.
Websites like Pinterest are great for creating vision boards and one can create as many boards as they want for fun, or to keep private.
Ninja Productivity Tip
I guess it doesn't matter what type of business that you are promoting but all have dozens of tasks that need to be done continually and properly. Many have multiple internet businesses and always have a list of things that need to be done asap. Well here's a great tip I've used and recommend to you.
Plan ahead and:
Remove all distractions or find a place where you can be uninterrupted.
Choose only one thing to focus on completely for an hour and set a timer.
Stop when the timer goes off and leave it for the next time. Don't think about it anymore.
Take a short walk or take a non-sitting break, unless you've been using a standing desk. Lying flat on your back might feel good too.
Start the next task and repeat the process.
If a little more than 60 minutes is needed go ahead and finish the task before taking a break. If it needs much more time to complete put it away until next time. After you've powered through a focused hour and taken a break to refresh, you can set the timer for another 60 minutes and continue where you left off or move to another task.

Have you ever searched the internet looking for ways to make money?
According to Ninja Outreach, there are 500+ different ways to make money online today. Many of the programs that are promoting a way of "How to make money online," being sold today are not fresh but used and now being monetized or worse. Learn the things to watch for because some people just want your money, and to keep you busy until the 30-day money back guarantee is up.
Some are set up just to continuously tap your credit card or bank account by up-selling "must have" products, for best results of course. Make sure that you watch out for the extra must-have purchases or up-sells. If that starts shortly after your initial purchase, then it might be a warning sign of more to come.
After some really good training at Wealthy Affiliate University, I now know how to spot the opportunists that are just out to get my money and give back as little as possible. I think that it's very important that we all be able to spot the actors and learn ways to avoid being taken advantage of before a con artist gets hold of our credit card or bank account.
I heard a "fact" that 90% of everyone that buys a product related to internet marketing online, at some point, feel as though they've been ripped off. I really dislike being taken advantage of and I'm sure that you do too.
There are some things that I look at and for
Once you become aware of what to look for in a good program it becomes really easy to see in most cases whether you should invest your time and money or not. Knowing the ways to avoid scams online can save someone a lot of aggravation and money.
Someone may contact you and say that you're already a winner and you just need to give some personal info in order to collect your prize, maybe your bank information so that they can direct-deposit your winnings, and they may need your social security number for the taxman too of course.
Con-men have figured out just what works on people to get what they want from them while giving as little as possible themselves.
Most have a few things in common other than the obvious and if you can learn to spot the warning signs and not dismiss them but take note and think twice about the situation, you might not fall prey to someone's trap.
Here are some signs that should make you hesitate and think twice about the situation.
1. If it sounds too good to be true then it possibly is.
Even though a 100% legitimate program can be made to sound "too good to be true" with a great sales pitch, this is definitely true with a scam, they can make up anything and lie and deceive us if we're not alert to some things. Hustlers will prey on the fact that many would love to make money fast and with little effort and they have no idea how the whole online business world operates, so they are lied to, or misinformed, and conned into purchasing the bait. The scheme will dangle a carrot of easy money to distract you from what they're really after and that's your personal and/or bank info.
2. Act Now - Don't Wait!
Some scammers are notorious for creating a sense of urgency and they try to get you to act quicker by disturbing your thought process. They use that false sense of urgency to distract you from what they really want, your money.
Even though it is possible to earn thousands of dollars per week online, it ain't easy!
A point to be made here is that there is a definite difference between an offer that is just low quality in what it delivers and a swindle. A scam is a deliberate rip-off, a dishonest scheme, and a fraud.
The truth is that although you have the impression in your mind that you'll be making money in a matter of weeks, it may take much longer and cost a lot more than you originally thought.
As with any business, there are various tools that need to be used for best results. Some of these offers will include everything but most will "up-sell" some things as must-have items for you to purchase separately. This is just something to watch for when purchasing a product or program.
Example: you purchase a program to make money online for $199. Sounds great, but then after getting done with the first lesson or stage, you are sold a must-have product to help with the program for $50. There could be a few of these surprises hidden in the program and after a while, your total spent amount is $500. I would like to know that before I purchase anything and I'm sure that you would too.
3. No or false contact info on their website
If you can't find any way to contact the seller on their site then be very careful. If they're hard to contact you'll be disappointed because if you have any questions you need them to respond quickly with the answers. For you to feel confident making a purchase you'll want the safe feeling that you can get in touch and get a problem solved within a reasonable amount of time and not wonder if the support even received or cares about your claim.
4. Up-sells
As mentioned earlier, if after your purchase you are encouraged to then buy an additional product so that you can get the full benefit of your purchase, that's not a good sign. Your newly bought product needs you to buy another product in order for it to work properly. This could be just the start of more up-sells coming to grab some more of your money. Keep watch out for that because you could start out with a $20 purchase and end up with $500 in receipts... yikes, what happened! Now my product should work just fine right? This is why I've learned to always recommend products that you can try out first.
5. Outrageous claims to success
When you see commercials or video of these guys driving around in their Lamborghini's and welcoming you into their fancy million dollar homes and sailing around on their yachts, there's a good chance that you should change the channel because their product is not worth your time or energy. Their sales pitch is really their product and the product being sold most likely isn't worth half the price to you. The images of money and luxury that they show you in their sales pitch can make you want to buy their product even knowing that it very well could be a rip-off.
6. Deliberately slow your progress
There are some also that will only allow you to do 1 or 2 lessons per day saying that they don't want you to be overwhelmed when their program is really shallow and basic and you could do the whole course in a few days if they allowed you to.
Even though someone can get a website framed and started, it can take months for one person to fill it up with pages and posts, images, etc. Then you need to be able to draw traffic to the site or nobody will see it. Learning SEO, or search engine optimization is essential to ranking in the search engines.
>>>It's really like any other business, you need to keep investing time and energy into it to get anything out of it, and if you neglect it, it will certainly bear less fruit for you.<<<
Well, those are just 6 ways to avoid scams online and keep from being taken advantage of.
I think the best thing for someone to do is to get a website and start a blog about something that you can write about on a regular basis, a passion or hobby of yours. Know that it will take some time to build up your site to the point where it actually starts making money, so you would need to settle down and keep producing blog posts even after your site is full of content.

There is a very common question that anyone who has a website or a blog has and this has to do with getting more leads and even traffic. There are many options that are being offered today to get rock solid traffic, and sometimes you can even make money while you are at it.
Creating more value for the prospective target
This is a great question that you should ask yourself. Value can be defined as a resource. This could be an article, a video or even a blog that is aimed at solving problems. The prospects are people who are more likely to work with the business and even sell the products as well. You need to make the offers more attractive to the prospective customers to encourage them to buy.
If you have some capital
If you can, you should invest in the business. You could hire a coach who has the kind of success that you may have always desired. This can have a great impact on your lifestyle and your life too.
You also need to learn more about the per click kind of advertising. You can use social media and use the available online courses that can help you apply this successfully to your blog or website.
You should also take time to invest in some long-term decisions. Take your time to strategize. It may not pick as quickly as you would like but the time taken to build your business will be very worthwhile in the end.
If you do not have any capital
You can try making money from the people that you want to emulate. You can achieve this through network marketing or use affiliate sales and programs. There are up lines that can offer some free coaching if you prove to be serious.
You need to create content every day. This should always be value driven by the target prospects. This will keep them interested and fully engaged at all times.
You also need to reach out to the market and to people in the social media platforms as well as on the offline meetings. If you are not conversant about prospecting, there are available resources that can prove helpful online. When you follow the plans well and diligently, you will be able to get waves of rock-solid traffic eventually. You will notice that your sales and leads will grow quite a lot as you follow the steps.
The best thing about using solid traffic is the fact that this is usually real people who are hyperactive responsive and they can show interest in hearing more about what you offer. When you have the best traffic source, you can access a large inventory that guarantees consistency and quality. With the best providers, you simply place the order and then let them take care of the conversions and the traffic. Optimization is very important in such a case. Having a great traffic source can work really well for you and your business.
Solo Ads have often been advertised as the best way to get leads and conversions to your site or blog. However, there is much more to learn about this. Best traffic source is backed by traffic and media buying experts, who have a lot of experience in the marketing industry. An igneous system allows them source traffic from different channels offering you great success.
Increasing traffic to your website does not have to be done by a professional. This can be done by anyone who has a computer. When you get more traffic to your website you have more potential customers to show your products and services.
There are some easy methods to use that will contribute to acquiring more traffic for your site such as: utilizing search engines, choosing correct keywords, and having enough content to consistently direct traffic. These methods will slowly but surely draw more and more traffic to your website that will potentially make you more money.
Utilizing search engines can be a very significant way for your website to increase traffic. Building up a name in search engines will make it easier for people searching for whatever your website promotes to find it.
There is no point in having a website if no one can find it right?
So making sure your site is easily identifiable in major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing will make it much easier to gain more viewers to your site. Increasing website traffic can be a rewarding experience financially.
Keywords are very important when you are looking to increase website traffic. Using strong highly used keywords and keyword phrases correctly can draw substantial traffic to your website. Keywords are words or a phrase of words that relates to the service or product you have on your site. These words represent exactly what the consumers are searching for.
For example, if your website specializes in auto repair for Ford manufactured cars a keyword would be mustang repairs. The best keywords are very specific and unique. Providing highly used keywords makes your site easier to find in major search engines.
Providing original content is the most important task you can do to increase website traffic. With content you have keywords and more keywords. As mentioned before the more keywords you have that are being used the more people will find your website. Using blogs and articles to drive traffic is a popular method.
This provides continuous original content that is related and informative which draws regular consumers. Successful websites will have great content that provides information without boring the reader. If you are not a writer, it is a good idea to look into outsourcing for articles. There are plenty of writers for hire who know how to create great original content.
These three methods can increase traffic to your website extremely fast. With consistent work, you can have a website that draws hundreds of viewers a day in no time. Your job is to have the product and provide ways for customers to get it.

If you tweet regularly, use image and videos often, and socialize more than you sell, you can generate a lot of leads on Twitter. You should also use plenty of keywords and hashtags you want to be found for in your Twitter bio. You need to generate an engaging cover photo that includes a call to action, and you should be tweeting, retweeting and interacting with your followers and prospects daily.
Those tried-and-true but simple tactics work well to build an email list or prospect pool. When you want to harness the full lead-capture ability of Twitter, you need to use some proven advanced tactics. The following Twitter lead-generation tips and strategies are the ones the pros use every day to maximize their efforts on the world's second-largest social media site.
1 - Approach Lead-Generation Tweets Differently
If you are just tweeting for engagement, you can create some catchy text, a hashtag or two, an image, and you are ready to go. When you attempt to use tweets to create leads, you have to take a little different approach if you want your efforts to succeed.
Lead-gen tweets deliver the best results when they are simple and straightforward. Make them as short as possible, and don't worry about using all your allotted characters. The attention span of web surfers is short and is getting shorter all the time. When your message is to the point, and you have a clear call to action (CTA), like a link to your email opt-in page, you will get better performance than a long update that is ambiguous and unclear.
Use the link-shortening website bit.ly to make your actionable link as short as possible. If your clickable link is awkward and ugly, this can actually lower your click through rate. Don't include multiple mentions or links. Just 1 CTA, clear direction about what to do, a catchy image and a short message combine to make a high-performance lead-gen tweet.
2 - Try Twitter Cards
Twitter has a feature that is custom-made for generating leads. Twitter Lead Generation Cards work so well because they allow you to add people to your email list or prospect pool without them having to leave Twitter. People on social media sites are there to hang out and socialize. They don't always like the idea of being removed from their favorite social media hangout.
Twitter Cards, among other excellent features, have the ability to generate leads without your prospects feeling as if they are being routed through some sales funnel. As Twitter states:
- "With Twitter Cards, you can attach rich photos, videos, and media experience to Tweets that drive traffic to your website. Simply add a few lines of HTML to your web page, and users who Tweet links to your content will have a 'Card' added to the Tweet that's visible to all their followers."
This means a Twitter user, whether they are a follower of yours or not, can join your email newsletter, buy a product or service, download an application or perform some other actions without moving off their Twitter feed. This makes them feel comfortable, not like they are being sold to or manipulated.
The fewer steps a prospect must take for you to get them to take the required action, the higher your odds of making the conversion you seek. There are 8 different Twitter Cards, and each of them offers different lead-gen properties. Buffer has created a Twitter Card primer to help get you started.
3 - Twitter's Search Box Can Be Used To Generate Content Ideas
Twitter moves a mile a minute, especially when you have a large group of followers. The average tweet stays on-screen approximately 30 seconds, and if your followers are active, it may not even last that long. This means it is crucial to link your tweets to topics and subjects that are driving engagement right now.
You can use Twitter's search feature to discover what topics are currently red-hot. Then you simply come up with a clever way to attach your call to action, tweet topic or lead-generating link to subjects that are getting a lot of action. Take the following steps to come up with fresh ideas about what to tweet about, while also using trending topics to improve your click through rate and lead-gen success.
Go to Twitter Search
Across the bottom of the way, you will see several hashtags, words, and phrases listed under a section titled "Trends for You."
These are the trending topics which are lighting up the Twitterverse. Find one that relates to your industry or niche, or one of the red-hot topics that you can somehow relate to your message.
You can also search for an industry keyword, hashtag or phrase you are trying to be found for, and see what people are saying about it right now. You need to heed a word of warning here. Blindly attaching your tweet to an irrelevant topic, even though it is popular right now, can do more than good.
4 - Use Twitter Advanced Search
You just learned an advanced tactic for using Twitter's basic search feature to generate leads. Now you are going to step up your game, using a veteran tactic that harnesses even more power from Twitter search.
This an excellent targeting feature which allows you to see anyone that is currently on Twitter who matches a set of selection data you enter. A London-based company could immediately target other Twitter users in London, and you can also look for people who made specific statements or asked particular questions.
Head over to https://goo.gl/rblFK.
Enter your search term. For example, you can look for people who have searched for "I need a London, SEO specialist." You can then add date ranges to keep your data relevant and updated, and filter according to specific Twitter accounts. You can also limit your results to negative or positive input, retweets, questions and other information. Use this feature to find any and every tweet mentioning your username or the username of industry leaders in your field.
5 - Schedule and Automate Your Tweets
As a business owner, you have a lot to do. If you are a one man or one woman operation, like so many Internet entrepreneurs and coffee-table business owners, you may find it harder than most to create the free time needed for your Twitter lead-gen tasks. Unlike some other social media networks, Twitter requires that you continually post content, if your marketing efforts are going to pay off. You will find that 5 to 10 tweets each day, spread out over an 8 to 12-hour time-frame, will provide the biggest bang for your lead-gen buck.
Beginners to Twitter often find this daunting.
One way to ensure you are regularly and consistently posting content is to do so on your smart phone. It only takes a few seconds to retweet the content of others, mention a particular user, or create and publish a brand-new tweet. However, even if you are pretty quick at tweeting and interacting with others on Twitter, your time investment can still add up.
That's why you should consider using the following Twitter automation tools to schedule your tweeting and lead-generation efforts for you. They allow you to schedule new updates and republish your most popular content for dates and times in the future. This means a once a week you could spend an hour or so creating and scheduling your Twitter content delivery, and then the following software suites and applications take care of the process for you on autopilot.
CoSchedule - This marketing calendar does more than just allow you to schedule your updates on Twitter and other social media sites. Their editorial calendar gives you the ability to plan your social updates for immediate delivery or schedule them for later. Also, you can publish at those times which have proven to provide maximum interaction, and you can upload large amounts of updates and previous tweets to be republished on a regular schedule.
Buffer - This is one of the most popular social media management applications. You can handle your Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts from one dashboard. With this app, it is easy to plan the delivery of your updates for a later time, including videos and images.
Social Oomph - Put simply, this is an effective social media scheduling tool. It works with Twitter and other popular social media networks, allowing you to monitor and track mentions, retweets, keywords, hashtags and other data. It has a built-in linkshortener, so you have more room in your tweet for your message, rather than a link.
PostPlanner - You can tell from the name exactly what this application does. Instead of just planning and scheduling your content for you, which is evident from the name, you can additionally use this app to find out what keywords and hashtags are generating the most interest. One of many nice features is that PostPlanner knows the best time to post, and it will automatically share and retweet great content.

There is increasingly growing interest and buzz around bitcoin these days. You may have heard of it before or not. Either way, it is a multi-trillion-dollar financial industry that is practically flying under the radar of most people (only about 2% of the population is even aware of its existence), which makes it a prime time to get positioned before it hits the mainstream. And the time is now because cryptocurrency awareness is going viral. Even some universities are teaching classes on bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology!
What is Bitcoin Exactly?
Bitcoin is a digital currency (or digital money), that is electronically held, which means it is not tangible like fiat currency (dollars, euros, yen, etc.). It was created cryptographically, and thus it is a cryptocurrency. It runs on open-source software and it is not controlled by entities. It is decentralized and not governed by banks or government.
What is the Blockchain?
Blockchain technology is where bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies exist. The blockchain is also used for other applications other than cryptocurrencies, such as running smart contracts, for example. In a nutshell, the blockchain is a digital ledger that is decentralized. It stores records of all transactions that occur within it and is run by a peer-to-peer network. This means that individuals and businesses use it to transfer digital assets to each other via the Internet with no third party (i.e., banks, governments) needed.
The Importance Blockchain Technology and Investing in It
From a business perspective, blockchain technology can improve business processes and significantly lower costs. It will also allow businesses to offer more benefits of service to customers. For instance, financial institutions could use blockchain technology to improve processes for things such as settlements and insurance.
From an individual perspective, blockchain technology offers opportunities for significantly high returns on cryptocurrency investment as compared to traditional investments.
Blochchain technology and cryptocurrencies are quickly proving to be an inevitable part of the future of money and finances in the global economy. It is something that will soon become mainstream in the world financial market, and those who invest early as early adopters of this amazing innovative technology will be among the newest millionaires in the coming years and beyond.
We are in the third big wave of the Internet. The first being websites and domain names (dotcom boom), the second being social media (dating sites, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.), and the third blockchain technology, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It's a great time to get positioned.
Cryptocurrency is the newest trend in the money market that contains the elements of computer science and mathematical theory. Its primary function is to secure communication as it converts legible information into an unbreakable code. You can track your purchases and transfers with cryptocurrency. Following are the top ten tips for investors to invest in cryptocurrency.
1.It's Just Like Investing in Commodities:
Investing in cryptocurrency is just like investing in any other commodity. It has two faces - it can be used as an asset or as an investment, which you can sell and exchange.
2.Buy Bitcoin Directly:
Buy Bitcoins directly if you do not want to pay the fee for investing or if you are interested in possessing real Bitcoins. There are a lot of options all over the world including Bitcoin.de, BitFinex, and BitFlyer from where you can buy Bitcoins directly.
3.Only an Absolute Minority Uses Cryptocurrency:
Today, Bitcoin is the most common cryptocurrency in the world of investment. In the United States, only 24% of the adults know about it, and surprisingly only 2% Americans use it. It is good news for the financial investors as the low usage represents a fruitful investment for the future.
4.Usage is Growing:
The combined market cap of the cryptocurrencies is more than 60 billion American dollars. It includes all cryptocurrencies in existence including hundreds of smaller and unknown ones. The real-time usage of the cryptocurrencies has gone up, showing a rise in trend.
5.Usage is the Key Criteria:
As an investor, the usage must be the key for you. The demand and supply data of cryptocurrencies exhibits a decent investment opportunity right now. There exists a strong usage of the currencies for facilitating payments between financial institutions and thus, pushing transaction costs down meaningfully.
6.The Market Cycle:
Currently, the cryptocurrency market is in euphoria. It is the point where the investment may not appear as a golden opportunity to you but the values will go higher from here. Businesses, governments, and society across the globe will soon be considering cryptocurrencies.
7.It will Solve Problems for You:
Money is to solve problems, and so is the cryptocurrency. The bigger problem it solves, the higher potential value it gets. The sweet spot for possessing cryptocurrency is that it provides access to money and basic bank functions including paying and wiring.
8.Crypto to Money:
Today, cryptocurrencies can be exchanged to conventional paper money. Therefore, the lock-in risk that existed a while ago is gone now.
9.Create Your Portfolio:
Since cryptocurrencies are exchangeable, they have become another way to build your portfolio. You can now store cash in the form of crypto and exchange it for cash anytime you need the traditional money.
10.Read the Right Resources:

Bitcoin has lead the crypto world for so long, and so dominantly that the terms crypto and Bitcoin are often used interchangeably. However, the truth is, the digital currency does not only comprise of Bitcoin. There are numerous other crypto currencies that are part of the crypto world. The purpose of this post is to educate our readers on cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin to provide them with a wide range of options to choose from - if they intend on making crypto-investments.
So let's get started with the first name on our list, that is:
Litecoin:
Launched in 2011, Litecoin is often referred to as 'silver to Bitcoin's gold.' Charlie Lee - MIT graduate and former engineer at Google - is the founder of Litecoin.
Similar to Bitcoin, Litecoin is a decentralized, open source payment network which functions without a central authority.
Litecoin is similar to Bitcoin in many ways and often leads people to think: "Why not go with Bitcoin? Both are similar!". Here's a catch: the block generation of Litecoin is much faster than that of Bitcoin! and this is the main reason why merchants around the world are becoming more open to accepting Litecoin.
Ethereum:
Another open source, decentralized software platform. The currency was launched in 2015 and enables Smart Contracts and Distributed Applications to be built and run without any downtime.
The applications on Ethereum platform require a specific cryptographic token - Ether. According to the core developers of Ethereum, the token can be used to trade, secure, and decentralize just about anything.
Ethereum experienced an attack in 2016 which saw the currency split into two parts: Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.
In the race of leading cryptocurrencies, Ethereum is second most popular and is right behind Bitcoin.
Zcash:
Zcash came out in the later part of 2016. The currency defines itself as: "if Bitcoin is like http for money, Zcash is https".
Zcash promises to provide transparency, security, and privacy of transactions. The currency also offers the option of 'shielded' transaction so the users can transfer data in the form of encrypted code.
Dash:
Dash is originally a secretive version of Bitcoin. It is also known as 'Darkcoin' due to its secretive nature.
Dash is popular for offering an expanded anonymity which allows its users to make transactions impossible to trace.
The currency first appeared on the canvas of digital market in the year 2014. Since then, it has experienced a large fan following over a very short span of time.
Ripple:
With a market capitalization of over $1bn, Ripple is the last name on our list. The currency was launched in 2012 and offers instant, secure, and low-cost payments.
The consensus ledger of Ripple doesn't require mining, a feature which makes it different from Bitcoin and other mainstream crypto currencies.
The lack of mining reduces the computing power which ultimately minimizes the latency and makes transactions faster.
Wrap Up:
Although Bitcoin continues to lead the pack of crypto, the rivals are picking up the pace. Currencies like Ethereum and Ripple have surpassed Bitcoin in enterprise solutions and are growing in popularity each day. Going by the trend, the other cryptos are here to stay and will soon be giving Bitcoin a real tough time to maintain its stature.

We live in a world where people are overwhelmingly focused on visuals, and, especially when it comes to the internet, appearance is everything. What customers see when visiting your website has an enormous impact on the success of your online business. When considering the most successful online retailers, they all have one thing in common: a streamlined and visually stunning website complete with high-quality, professional imaging.
It is crucial as a business owner to present the product you are selling in the best way possible, and in an online setting this means presenting it through good, clean images. With a well-designed site complete with great images, any business can be successful-but why is that? We've written a little more about it to help you have a better understanding as to why good, clean images are so important for eCommerce and online retail stores.
Humans Are Visual Creatures
The science behind why people react positively and quickly to images as opposed to text is actually quite simple-images can be immediately deciphered by the brain, whereas text is a language that must be decoded in order for the brain to comprehend. This is why it is so important to have good, clean images on your eCommerce/online retail store-customers will have an immediate reaction to the images as their brains will immediately comprehend and judge them.
Research has shown that the human brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than it processes text, meaning that your online customers will be processing the image of your product before they even read the title or product description. Having clean, high-resolution visuals on your website will help customers become interested in the product before they even know all the details.
You Can't Sell High-Quality Product without High-Quality Images
It's really that simple. If you don't have good, clean images of the products you are selling on your website, then people will not believe that they are quality products. This is a prime example of getting a return out of the amount of work that you put in. If you are designing your website to include low-res, visually cluttered, or stock images, then your customers are not going to believe that you are serious about your business and will not want to spend their money there.
It also has a lot to do with the perceived authenticity of the website. There are a lot of scam websites on the internet these days, and often customers will perceive an online retailer or eCommerce business with bad images as a scam, whether it is or not. You do not want your website to read as inauthentic to its visitors, and there is a really simple solution to this: have your images done professionally, take the images on your website just as seriously as you take the rest of your business, and present your product in the best way possible.
The Takeaway
In order to have a successful eCommerce business, you must first focus on making sure that your products are justly represented through good, clean images so that your customers have an accurate visual representation of the business that you run.
The best way to handle this is by outsourcing tasks such as photo-editing such as Clipping path, background removal, retouch etc., to a photo editing agency that specializes in producing high-quality image edits like ClippingArts ( http://clippingarts.com/ ).
Drop shipping is a supply chain management system that has given the e-commerce industry a vertical growth. Once you understand what exactly is drop shipping, the different methods that exist, and how to get a reliable drop shipper it is easy to get started on your own and engage in a profitable business.
Interestingly, the community of drop shippers and their clients are ever growing and several blogs and forums will give you the much-needed information and boost on the subject.
So what exactly is this method of operation? In simple words, dropshipping is a supply chain management system where the manufacturer ships the products directly to the retailer's customer and the retailer makes the profit!
In this case, the reseller I.e you, do not have to store products that you need to sell, nor do you have to block your money by investing in the product stock. Thus you save storage space and money. Further, you need not engage the services of any staff in handling and packaging the products as the product gets shipped directly from the wholesaler to your customer.
So effectively what you do is create your own website, upload some products for sale, and do the marketing. When you get an order from your customer, pass on the order to the drop shipper who will ship the goods on your behalf. The difference between your sale price and the price at which you order from the drop shipping manufacturer is your profit.
Though operationally it looks like a simple business model, the following questions need serious understanding.
1. How do you find a reliable drop shipper?
2. How do you market the products?
3. Which niche products should you market?
4. How to create a website?
5. How to successfully upload and price a product?
6. What is the guarantee of product delivery to your customers?
7. Shipping and Refund policies?
There are several other factors that may come up in your mind which could be essential to your business success.
Well, it is not all that difficult to get answers to the above queries if you spend some time researching and understanding the subject matter. You will notice that it is easy to understand why drop shipping has become more popular, as it reduces the number of times an item has to be handled before it gets to the end customer.
If however, you still feel that it is a tedious manual process, then you can consider a completely automated working system that ensures a smooth operation. All that you need to do is get a hosting plan, find a good domain name for your business and install a plugin that automates your business 24x7.
With some little effort, you too can start a Home Business and reap the benefits of this exciting supply chain management process.

For over a decade, internet marketing has revolutionised the home-based business model. Gone are the days of having to hoof-it from store to store, trying to sell those cookies, scarfs or Grandma's secret apple sauce. The entrepreneurs of today are only armed with a laptop and an idea. Not thumbing my nose at those guys who has 'made It' the conventional way, but let's face it not all of us are idea guys. I mean, how many people would have thought to take a skateboard wheel bearing and encased it with plastic to make a Fidget Spinner. That simple design has given the onset to a business netting in billions.
So how does the average Joe start his own home based business, if he doesn't have billion-dollar toy idea? Simple, Email marketing. Now, I know that email marketing has been around for some time, but it is still the best and MOST effective manner of generating a viable stable income with the least amount of effort. What? The least amount of effort? I must be full of bs for making such a statement, right. Since the start of the dotcom business model, the internet has turned out more self-made millionaires than any other medium of communication or advertising.
Now just think about it, you probably received an email form a store thanking you for signing up for credit. Or you entered your email address in the opt in box of you favourite news channel to get all the latest sport headlines straight to your inbox. Well you are part of an email marketing campaign, on the receiving part anyway. Now these companies are regularly informing you of what is the next big thing or event, right. Now, what if you are the person sending out these notifications and embedding a link in the message which sends the reader to a sales page of your choosing? The reader then buys whatever you are offering. Instant cash.
That is, it, no big unheard-of secret only spoken in select circles. The only method of capitalizing on this concept is sending out vast amounts of mails. Just imagine sending a hundred thousand mails out, ten percent visit the sales page and of that only ten percent buys the product you promoting. So, if the item you are selling goes for a meagre $1 US, you still make a whopping $1 000 US, with one email. I don't know about you, but that is a lot cash for very little effort. And at regular weekly intervals, sending out emails you'll be making money every single time. Little effort equals lots of money. The beauty of this business model is you do not need a substantial start-up capital, you do not even need to quit your current job. I mean, you'll only need to tend to your internet marketing business 1 to 2 hours a day to see a steady flow of income. So when you send out an email, say at lunch time, by dinner you would have made a sizable sum of cash. And with multiple email lists and different niches you can spread this out over a couple of days, alternating between lists.
