On Muiltiple Streams of Residual Income

I believe the best approach to online business success, is to create what is known as ‘Multiple Streams of  Residual Income’. That means the farmers wife who first said “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” is still correct. There are a host of reasons why this is a good idea, among which are; the demand for your product, the long-term availability of your product, the success of your ad campaign, the time of the year or season for your product and if you are an affiliate-the stability of the parent company. There are controllable and non-controllable factors that enter into play often from “out of nowhere” that can impact your business and devastate a single source enterprise, but will usually have a lesser negative effect on multi source businesses. A word of caution however, would be to establish your business interests, one at a time

There are few business startups that will openly advocate the above approach simply because it takes a bit of work and time to put it together, which it-turn, extends the time before they can gain access to your wallet. If one shops  around and does my favorite thing-due diligence-many companies can be found that offer just such a proposition. Look for programs that offer unlimited live training, moderated forums, tech support and other useful amenities, that will reasonably be be expected to produce success. Look for companies that offer a myriad of  possibilities for the home-based business owner whether you are a “newbie” or a seasoned veteran in need of a “mid-course” correction and ones that have a good track record.

So, consider the above as you plan and/or work, your home-based business. Diversify and add  to your portfolio and don’t let your pride prevent you from getting a look at important new ways of doing things that can and will affect your bottom line.

Until next time.

What really is your Brand and Why?

Are anonymity and online success compatible? According to the successful people, whose material I have read and studied, and I believe to be creditable, it will rarely, if ever, happen. These successful people offer several rationales for their conclusions and I will recall a couple of them for your consideration.

People who spend money on line must feel reasonably comfortable that they are dealing with reputable sellers before they will plunk down their cash. Most buyers have a due diligence process they go through before committing their hard earned dollars. Whatever you, the seller, can do to build a trust level is a plus in your favor. A picture, an address, a phone number, a profile/whois, is all considered appropriate items to be provided by the seller.

So why would you not be willing to share your picture and other pertinent information with people who are about to help you accomplish part of your success plan? I don’t know the answer and I hope this will serve to enlighten and get your path lighted also.

Successful Marketers, what you want to be, have figured out that there is a process called “BRANDING” that plays a key role in the buying process. Stop and think a moment for the answer to the following: when you cut yourself you want a? N-E-S-T-L-E-S makes the very best? What is good to the last drop? Did you come up with Band Aid, Chocolate and Maxwell House Coffee? If you did, you did so because of the successful efforts of these well-paid marketers to BRAND the products. None of these companies started at the top of their category. They worked their plan just like you can learn to work yours. It all begins with you establishing yourself as the anchor and moving forward from there. Are you ready to experience it?

Does this help you any at all to understand why you should brand yourself? The bottom line is this, when you brand yourself successfully, you become the focal point instead of a product. Your name as the brand means you are able to introduce additional products at some point to your list because they are following the BRAND, which is you, instead of a product which you happen to be handling at the moment.

Let me hear from you.

Protect the Environment, Work from Home

There is so much chatter about Global Warming and its adverse effects on the earth’s environment, that one would have to live in a cave or another planet, not to be aware of it. The paradox however, in not whether you are aware, but how well are you able to process what you are aware of; what does all the chatter amount too; are you a part of the problem or the solution? Indeed, what is the problem? 

I hope that by the time you finish reading this, you will feel a lot better about what you, as a home based business owner, are actually doing to help preserve the eco balance. Keep in mind that your group, identified as working from home entrepreneurs or Home-Based Business persons has become an identifiable group, whose numbers increase daily and to such an extent that they are attracting worldwide attention as increasingly a group that is setting trends and impacting major studies on America’s future. 

The main enemy in this scenario is pollution. A pollutant is defined as anything that is released into the environment that takes an undue toll on nature’s ability to reconvert it into usable byproducts available to restart the conversion process in a short period of time. Now come on, I know as well as you do, that this is not exactly a scientific definition, but don’t you get the drift intended here? Good. If we produce more garbage than we have bags to hold, we have too much garbage and need an alternative. 

As home-based business owners, we provide America with important alternatives to the largest assault on our fragile environment which theoretically occurs, during what has become known as the “morning and evening rush hours”. We have chosen to rise above the din and noise by seeking a bold new way to provide for the needs of ourselves and our families. We have been willing to take a chance on success and good fortune by relying on our ability to say to we are honest and loving people, worthy of our clients’ trust and confidence. We say to them, Park your gas hogging automobiles that spew tons of pollutants annually and let me deliver to your door, the same quality products that you have come to expect and drive all over town to find. We will put the quality products in your face via your computer and; save you gas, time and money and put your products in your hands with the same assurances that you get from being in the store. 

The bottom line is: as a home based business owner, via your computer, you are reducing the consumption of fuel and the attendant emission of pollutants and offering the same or greater savings to your customers. Congratulations on behalf of the American people and the world’s population for your efforts on our behalf. 

Now, while you are thinking about it, how have you cut back on the consumption of energy and/or the emission of pollutants? How do your efforts make you feel? 

Until next time…

Your Picture is Worth A Thousand Clicks

Let us talk briefly about breaking down the wall between you and your prospective buyers and/or clients. I maintain that people buy from people they know, like and trust and there is no sale until the money changes hands. I would like to follow up on this train for a few lines here.

I believe a picture is worth a thousand words and a picture is irrefutable evidence that you exist and your peospects, are dealing with a live human and not some unknown corporate entity or fictional character.

We were all made by a creator and we are who we are. If for some strange reason we feel that we don’t measure up to some standard and therefore should not put forth our image, what is the problem and whose is it? We use excuses like; ugly, fat, skinny, white, black, Asian, male, female, old, young, country, too sophisticated, dumb and the list goes on. Well let me tell you, those aren’t reasons at all, they are Classic excuses. We roll them off our tongues like water rolling down Niagara Falls. Many of us are fear everything including our own shadow. Deep within, we know we are conditioned to have a job and depend on someone else for all we need. We know that others will fail us so how can we overcome the excuses? 

Glad you asked. Realize that we are who we are and we are all in this thing together; that is to say, what you are is not at all an issue to anyone but you. If you have a good product and/or service, that I am in the market for,  is all that matters. On the other hand, if in your mind, the problem persists, then guess who needs to be worked on? That’s exactly right, Y O U, you, are the problem. Get over whatever is bothering you and the world will amazingly follow. You see, we are really far too busy to concern ourselves with your insecurities unless; you take away our options and make yourself and your issues a priority. A bad move in my humble opinion (IMHO). 

So, what really do you need to do? Well to begin with, accept who and what you are. We are made by our creator in his/her image and are a direct reflection as well as a direct representative. You are not ugly! If you are overweight, take actions to lose weight, there are remarkable products available to help you; Bad skin, same thing, amazing products available. Do you see a pattern here? There is no excuse for languishing in any pity parties or periods of mourning. “Get over It”. Life is good, and so are you. I might also add; if you are working from home and online, none of the above is relevant anyway. You are beautiful and your picture needs to be with your advertising message and before the public that you wish to convert to clients/friends. 

If you disagree, that is okay too. Remember, this is America and contrary to what you may believe, we do not live under a law of unanimity. If you want to tell me why, that is even better. You have an opinion on everything and it is okay to express it. You will no doubt get feedback, which is good and it will either reinforce or dispute what you think and cause you to rethink or stand fast on your position, and that is what the process is all about. Let me know what you think about this. I would really love to hear from you. 

Before you embark on this journey of massive thought however, add your picture to your displays and the responses you get will more that prove my contention.

Also keep in mind that your feedback should be on the idea I am fronting and not on me personally, since you don’t know me yet.

Until next time…

It’s Gonna Be a Big Task

Today I saw a glaring example of just how difficult it is going to be, to get many of my fellow Americans to come over to the Ideas and Practices of Energy Conservation. During a visit to one of our Shopping Centers, I noticed on my way in, that a large Super-Cab Pick-Up was parked, locked and running full blast. Upon closer inspection, I also determined that the vehicle was devoid of any occupants and with the windows rolled up as tight as they were, I surmised that the driver did not desire to return to a hot car, warmed by the Sun’s rays. After a quick twenty minute  shopping visit inside the store, I returned to the parking lot to find the behemoth truck still running and a considerable pool of condensate water beneath the engine area. I then said to myself, “Olson, I am so glad you stopped doing that and you must commit to helping others understand why we Americans should hurry and change our wasteful ways.” I believe many people feel that since there in not a fuel shortage, just high prices and since they can afford to buy it, they have a right to burn it as they see fit. I believe conservation and preservation of the environment is a good common sense way to ensure that we maintain a safe and healthy place to live and raise our families. Conservation and protecting the earth just makes good survival sense over the long haul.

What do you think about all the fuss about protecting the environment? Is it justified or is it much ado about nothing? If you had the opportunity to work from home and make the same or more money than you make now, while cutting the emissions into the air because you no longer commute daily, would you do IT?

Hello world!

Hello and welcome to my first Post on WordPress. I have looked at the alternatives and decided to come here. I have been posting on several social networks and while I enjoy it, I find that multiple post is not the most efficient use of my time. What I want to do now is post here and send readers at other sites to this location to get information. I feel pretty confident that after a few days here I will have learned the way to do different things that will elevate me at least to the level of “Good Learner”. I am also looking forward to having many new friends not only join me but welcome me to this new adventure in blogging. So, don’t be bashful, step right up and holla at me, your words of welcome, wisdom and wishes for happyness.
