Hi there,

Below are 7 “light bulb moments” that allowed me to create a six-figure income this year in online business.

#1)  It dawned on me that if I didn’t set my own schedule, someone else would set it for me.

The idea of a boss over my life never felt right.  It felt claustrophobic.  Thus I determined no matter what, I was going to succeed in a home-based business if it killed me.

#2)  It dawned on me quickly that I would rather chew my face off than call generic leads.  So I decided to create my own leads.

My first effort was a 4 line Newspaper Ad : “Millionaire Minds: What’s the Secret to earning $1K in less than an hour?” People called and listened to a 3 minute voice message.  And guess what?  People started buying my products.

#3)  It also dawned on me after that to create leads on the internet.  Small problem:  I only knew how to do em@il.  So I painfully, slowly, fearfully, I figured out how to upload a website and upload a youtube video.  This was tortuous for a technophobe like me.  But remember I was going to succeed even if it killed me, so a little torture was okay.  As soon as the website went up I started to make more money.

#4)  I used Google AdWords.  I blew through $600 in 1 week because I had no clue what I was doing.  But I had a couple of ideas and they proved to put me on track for my 6-figure goal very fast.  Nothing lost.

#5)   I then heard about Obe Pro and found out the product was better than what I was promoting AND it was free for 30 full days!   Ah ha!  So I joined them.  I knew being ripped off or scammed  was a hot button issue for myself and others too.  When I discovered that you could make so much money — and practically spend no money at all doing it, I knew others would see the same big picture that I did.  This one detail of Obe Pro is simply genius.

#6)  I then figured out that ObePro’s Payplan paid $50 a month residuals per referral on just the 1st level…and it kept growing like a snowball rolling down a hill!  It was so simple and easy to duplicate! Then my biggest lightbulb moment came.  “What if I showed individuals EVERYTHING I knew about marketing?  What if I could leverage my knowledge out amongst a few key people and teach them how to make money, and by doing so I too would make money?”  This little thought of massive leverage created a burning desire for me to share whatever I knew and had learned about marketing online with a select group of team mates.  Shortly after that I had a bunch of people who had never made money online, start to make money.  They were very happy.   I was equally happy in being a part of their newfound online business success.

I share these stories because I know for a fact that there are people reading this right now that can and will be future internet marketing stars.  Sometimes it takes just a little bit of assistance and spark from an experienced mentor.  Here’s what a mentoring relationship with me looks like:  every week we spend a minimum of 15 minutes and a maximum of 30 minutes in a 1-on-1 online meeting.  I scrutinize your belief systems, question your thoughts about marketing, prod you to give a smarter effort, challenge you to be un-meltable in the face of fire.  It’s not always pleasant.  And I really won’t buy any of your BS or excuses [I mean that in a nice way].

Each week as you take new actions, we drill deeper down the rabbit hole.  You will find success is significantly easier and more fun than working a dead-end-job and stressing about money.

This is why branding is very important in building a online business, especially today. The evolution of the internet is fueled by information, and information travels at light speed. Competition can sprout from out of nowhere on a daily basis. The only way to contend is by beating them to the punch when it comes to consumer recall, and this can be done through effective branding.

In building a online Internet business, much care and attention must be given to your enterprise’s name. It is the means by which people would refer to it, after all. It’s the most jam packed, condenced idea. It’s the name. Once a name has been decided on, the next logical step would be to build on that brand and expose it to as many people as possible.

Building a brand, and consequently, building an online presence, can be as fast or as meticulously slow as you want it to be. But in the process, giving your market the impression that you’re emphasizing quality over popularity.

Here are some branding techniques you could use to help you in building an online home business:

* Always use your name. A lot of people are hesitant about online transactions. Giving them your real name would be taken as an invitation for their trust. Additionally, your name would give them something to remember you by.

* Article marketing can help in branding you as an expert on the subject you wrote about. And you being a representation of your enterprise, will in turn help in branding and building a home Internet business.

* Consider crafting a logo during the planning stages in building your business. Visual representations are sometimes easier to remember than written words. There are thousands of designers out there that will construct a pleasing logo for you very cheaply.

* Build relationships. Relationships would help you achieve a level of credibility and reliability. Additionally, those whom you have befriended would be more than willing to give a good word about you, either in private correspondences with their own network, or publicly by giving you a testimonial for your products or services.

* Provide bonuses and excellent after-sales services. These value added attractions would make your clients feel special, and they would remember you well because of it. Consider this detail in building an online business.

* Publish your own newsletter. Having a constant medium through which your thought and your business messages can be conveyed would be a fantastic vehicle in building your brand.

These are but some of the more popular ways of branding, as utilized by veteran Internet marketers. It would serve you well if you’d follow their footsteps and give a good start in building an Internet business that would be remembered for a long, long time.

Winning customers is essential for the success of our enterprise. And this is also true for online businesses. In fact, some would say that winning customers online has its share of pros and cons. The good news is that the entire world is your market. The disadvantage? The Internet offers a more impersonal channel in our dealings with people, making it more difficult to garner their trust and favour.

So what are we to do then? Fear not, dear friend. As with everything else in life, we should try to accentuate the positives to compensate for the negatives. Here are a few ways by which you could gain a good number of customers, and keep them for a long and profitable business for you and your family.

Always deliver quality goods or services. There is no better vehicle for our business message than our products themselves. Consistently offering things that are more than worth our customers’ time and money will brand us as enterprises that are committed to quality products and services. This would only serve us well in future dealings with the same clients. Additionally, this would make our clients as advertising vehicles for our business as well, as they would spread the word about the excellence of our service to people belonging to their network.

Always try to over-deliver. People love receiving more than what they paid for. If you consistently give them some extras, their minds would be conditioned to trust your business for future transactions.

Provide bonuses. In addition to the product you’re selling, add some more goods that would perk up the package. Do this in a manner that you will make your customers aware of the value of the bonuses if they were otherwise purchased. This would definitely increase the worth of your product, and such would make it more favourable for a successful sale. Additionally, your bonuses would foster good will with your clients, and this could go a long, long way for future orders.

Build relationships. The importance of building good relationships with your customers cannot be undermined. As we’ve discussed earlier, the Internet is a rather informal venue for personal dealings. So try to humanize your approach so that your customers can relate to you as someone who is more than just a business provider, but also as a friend.

Make use of a mailing list. A mailing list is an Internet marketers number one weapon. By capturing the contact details of people who may not have been interested with their current offer, they will be able to condition the same people for future sales. And this could serve their businesses well for quite a long time, as one successful sale can beget another and another after that. So invest on an excellent autoresponder service and prepare those follow-up messages well. Take good care of your subscriber base, and they will take good care of your business in return.

Winning customers is more than just luck. It entails a lot of strategizing and good planning. Retaining customers involve the same level of commitment as well. In the highly competitive world of online marketing, trust plays an integral role in achieving our goals. Try your best to win your customers’ trust. Take care of it. And for sure, this trust would fuel good business for you for many years to come.
