There is no doubt that there are a lot of cool tools for increasing the productivity of your online business. The problem is that many online business owners can caught up in understanding and using all the cool little widgets and other free tools that are available online and they forget about offering quality to the end user which is the customer.

So, if you are starting a new business what does it mean to offer quality to your customers and how do you go about doing this online?

Tips on Delivering Value to Your Customers

The main method for keeping your customers happy and getting referrals is to offer more value than you are charging for your product. Your prospects like to feel that they are getting their money’s worth so you have to make the offer bigger than the amount you are charging. Okay, so exactly how do you do this?

* Understand Why People Search the Internet: If you are going to be starting an online business it is very important to understand why people are searching the Internet and more specifically, why they are searching for your product or service. First of all, the majority of people search the Internet because they are looking to solve a problem. As an online business owner it is your job to figure out what problem your target market is trying to solve and then come up with a way to offer them the solution.

* Sell the Process and Not the Product: Once you identify your market and the problem they are trying to solve you must sell through the process and not the product. By this we mean you must lead the prospect through the process of solving the problem. Only then will they think about purchasing your product. The process involves offering quality information that is useful to the customer without initially asking for anything in return. If you successfully help them to solve the problem you have offered a tremendous value and benefit to their life.

* Provide Quality: Once you have provided your prospect with quality information they will naturally see why they need your product however, quality does not end there. You must present your product in a way that adds tremendous benefits to your prospect’s life. To do this you must ask yourself, “What are are some of the benefits that can be offered along with my products?” These could be offered in the form of fringe benefits such as a free report, a free ebook, a set of instructional CDs, or anything else you can think of to create a package deal.

* Backend Products: Once you have established a relationship with the customer you must continue to offer quality in the form of continued free information and in any backend products that you offer. Backend products are products that you can offer to your prospect once you have established a trusting relationship and they have made a purchase. If your prospect trusts the quality associated with your brand name they will be more likely to listen to your recommendations for backend products that are related to their purchase.

* Ongoing Customer Service: Customer service will be the one factor in your business that will make you or break you. Although you may succeed in offering quality, if you do not follow through by listening to the customer’s concerns and needs you will end up losing all of the long term benefits you have worked so hard to achieve in the previous steps we have described here. In addition to offering quality, good customer service is the icing on the cake and one of the main components that will keep your customers returning time and again.

So….yes…tools are cool and they are necessary for saving you time with your business as it grows however, you must make sure not to get caught up in all of the cool gadgets that are available to the point where you neglect to offer quality to your customers.

You may have heard this platitude before. It really resonates with me and is something I say to my team time and time again. To achieve your goals , whether they are to achieve a Maximum Residual Income, Financial Freedom, Fire Your Boss, etc…, you must have a plan to get there. Being plugged into a system or part of a group isn’t enough. Subscribing to ideals is not a lottery ticket. Achieving success and attaining your goals requires following a detailed plan with commitment and desire. These two components of executing your plan through to a desired outcome are crucial. You know what you want, now you must commit to the work that needs to be done to reach those goals. If you truly commit to the plan it is because you have a real desire to get to your destination.

How do you come up with this plan of action? This can be the part where most get stifled before they even begin their action. The best way that I have learned to come up with a plan is to look to someone who has succeeded in the same areas that I am looking to succeed. Find out what they did to attain their success. You do not have to re-create the wheel. Success leaves clues. You can create your own plan by following the map of those who have already paved the road.

Once you have a general plan in place. Prioritize your action. Go with the activities that are going to generate your results. If your plan is toward an income goal — Spend your time on M.M.A. – Money Making Activities. Do not get so caught up in planning that you never take action. The way to move to your goals is to execute your plan. This may seem like an obvious statement, but there are alot of people that spend so much time getting ready to get ready that they never get going.

Set Your Goals, Create a Plan, Take Massive Action!

“We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it. It Pays to Take Life Seriously” Proverbs 16:9

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a book written by Robert Kiyosaki that addresses the difference in attitudes between people who are rich to the people who are not as financially independent. It is all about why rich people do things differently than other people and what makes these types of people tick.

The book offers an insightful story of the lessons that need to be mastered in order to become financially independent. Robert Kiyosaki’s father was an educator and public administrator and when Robert asked his father what it took to become rich his father didn’t really know the answer to that. His father continued to say that although many people receive a good education and become employees they never really become well educated in how to handle their finances.

Robert and his friend Mike decided to set out to figure out how to become rich and they began by making counterfeit money. Robert’s father advised them that counterfeit money is illegal and to ask Mike’s father, an independent business person on advice on how to become rich. Mike’s father inevitably ended up being a mentor to Robert Kiyosaki and the inspiration for writing Rich Dad/Poor Dad.

The rich dad represents his mentor while the poor dad represents his real father. The book describes a story of how Robert’s rich dad put him to work for a meager salary of $.30 an hour and told him he must be dedicated. Eventually Robert becomes frustrated when rich dad denies him a raise and views him as a cheapskate. The rich dad tells Robert that he has taught him a valuable lesson which was that most people despise being employed and live their life chasing after a paycheck and job security out of fear.

The rich dad teaches Robert a lot of valuable lessons about being financially independent which he outlines in Rich Dad/Poor Dad. Some of the issues are controversial such as the idea of paying yourself before you pay your taxes or your bills nonetheless, the book has some great advice to offer about becoming financially independent.

Some of the ideas that the Robert Kiyosaki discusses in Rich Dad/Poor Dad is the idea of distinguishing an asset from a liability. Successful investors primarily focus on assets that are capable of producing income where liabilities are what eat up the cash flow. He goes on to explain that liabilities can be dressed up to look like assets such as items that actually depreciate in value. He also stresses the importance of learning how to build assets and create tax shelters by running your own business.

The author also discusses how to become financially intelligent despite the fact that you may have gotten started late in life. He acknowledges that it is never too late to accumulate wealth and accelerate your financial growth by diversifying your assets and developing multiple streams of income. He also explains in detail what the rich teach their children that other people of limited financial means do not.

One of the drawbacks of the Rich Dad/Poor Dad is that the author writes a lot about finding that one magic financial deal that will make you lots of money and then duplicating that success over and over again. For a lot of people this can make it difficult to achieve success since most people become financially successful by diversifying their portfolio of income.

Regardless, Rich Dad/Poor Dad is still a worthwhile read for $16.95 if only to encourage some of your own thought processes about changing the way you think when it comes to finances.

If you are looking for an easy and quick way to get started with blogging you may want to take a look at using the Blogger platform which is a product of Google. When you use Blogger you can be literally up and running with a blog in a matter of 10 or 15 minutes. Blogger is easy to use and best of all it is free. You can easily get started with establishing your expertise in your chosen subject area and start attracting clients for your future business.

How Blogger Works

If you already have a Gmail account you can easily begin creating a blog with Blogger. If you have never used Google you can sign up for a free account at www.google.com. Once you obtain an account you simply click on “Settings” in the upper right hand corner of the Google home page and then choose “Blogger.”

Once you click on “Blogger” the wizard will walk you through setting up your blog in a matter of minutes and you are up and running. The interface is easy to use and involves a three step process which is setting up your account, creating a name for the blog, and then choosing from one of the ready made templates.

Blogger also provides you with the choice of setting up your blog on their free hosting service at Blogspot or you can make the blog a part of your website by placing it on the server with your Web host provider. You are not required to know any HTML code and the easy interface allows you to choose your own fonts, colors, and text formats.

Blogger Pros

There are many advantages to using the Blogger platform the main one being that Google tends to favor it for search engine rankings since it is their product. Other advantages include:

* It’s Easy and It’s Free: If you are completely new to blogging and do not have the slightest idea on how to use online applications you can still set up a blog with blogger and it’s free.

* Earn Money: You can earn money through advertising on Blogger and you can promote affiliate products that are related to the topic of your blog. There are no unrelated advertisements that are usually present with a free service.

* Upload Videos: You can keep up with the surge in video marketing and upload videos to Blogger.

* Mobile Blogging: You can create content for you blog through email or your mobile device and upload it to your blog on Blogger.

Blogger Cons

There are a few disadvantages to using the Blogger platform the main one being its lack of flexibility when compared to paid blogging platforms or WordPress. For example you are limited to a specific number of templates and you cannot customize the blog to give it a unique look and feel. Other disadvantages include:

* Domain Name: If you choose to go with the completely free service you will be unable to use your own domain name such as www.yourdomain.com and instead you will have to go with Google’s domain with your name added as a page such as http://blogspot.com/yourblogname/.

* Tags: The tag indexing is limited with the search engines especially with the different categories.

* Widgets: The customization of widgets can be a little complex for a beginning user.

* Blogger Comments: The editing feature in the commenting area is limited and you cannot simply eliminate rude words in the comment. Instead you have to eliminate the comment entirely.

In conclusion if you want to be up and running fairly quickly the Blogger platform is not a bad way to go. As your business grows and you gain more experience you can always change your mind later to accommodate the growth of your online business.

Landing Page Cash Machine: A Way to Increase Sales Conversions?

There are a lot of programs out there that will show you how to increase traffic to your website by increasing your click through rate, improving your search engine ranking, creating high quality backlinks and using effective SEO. But then what do you do once your traffic reaches your website? This is what the Landing Page Cash Machine has set out to do which is to convert the visitors to sales after they arrive on your landing page.

What’s Inside Landing Page Cash Machine?

In addition to driving traffic to your website the landing page where your visitors arrive is the single most important factor that will determine the amount of sales that you make and your return on investment. The Landing Page Cash Machine shows you how to retain your visitors on your website so they will take the time to review your offer and purchase your product.

If you are getting a lot of visitors to your website and are failing to make enough sales to produce a profit, Landing Page Cash Machine may be worth your time to read. It emphasizes the point that a lot of people think the battle has been won once the visitors begin to arrive at their website and they forget that the job is not over yet. You still have to construct your landing page in way that captures the visitor’s attention and then leads them to the sale.

Without an effective landing page your visitors will be costing you money instead of making you money. Instead of focusing on increasing traffic the Landing Page Cash Machine will show you how to convert your visitors into sales by showing you how to put your visitors in the right frame of mind to buy your product instead of simply moving on. Instead of paying out more money for advertising the Landing Page Cash Machine shows you how to make good use of the resources you have and the visitors that are already coming to your website.

What Exactly Do You Learn?

Some of things you will learn by reading the Landing Page Cash Machine include how to make it easier for your visitors to become customers by coordinating the content on your landing page with your Google AdWords campaign, how to make it easier for your visitors to remember your website so they will return in the future, and how to leverage code snippets to increase sales conversions.

Also, the majority of landing pages fail to communicate to the visitor what they want them to do after arriving on the landing page. You have to keep in mind that most Internet surfers want to be told what they should do next. The Landing Page Cash Machine teaches you how to lead your customer by the hand to the sale and how to make money from the people who do not end up purchasing your product. It shows you how to make your landing page match your intentions through proven strategies and methods.

Okay….Is There a Guarantee? And…What Does It Cost?

The Landing Page Cash Machine offers a 100% money back guarantee and you have 90 days to give it a test drive. Once you purchase the product for $49.95 it is available for immediate download. As far as what you get out of it, this will depend upon how closely you follow and implement the methods that are discussed in the publication however, if you are having trouble with converting visitors to sales this may be the information that you have been looking for.

The Landing Page Cash Machine comes packed with a lot of bonuses and tidbits of information that will help you to easily convert visitors to buyers on a consistent basis. With the money back guarantee you really have nothing to lose by at least checking it out.

When you look at all of the tools that are currently available for online business owners the selection can be overwhelming. There are tools for this and tools for that, widgets for this and wazzits for something else!

May it help to know that among the sea of online business tools lie a few principle tools that online business owners use to become successful and two of the main tools are WordPress and Blogger. The nice part is that both of these tools are free and offer a host of widgets and wazzits that simplify your online business tasks while helping to increase traffic to your website.

If you are starting an online business these tools can be rather scary so let’s provide you with an overview of both tools so you can see how easy they are to use as well as how useful they can be to your online business.

WordPress

WordPress is a free online open source blogging platform that allows you to easily build a professional looking and functional blog within a short period of time. The application is very user-friendly by novices to advanced programmers and contains a feature-rich interface. WordPress is also open source which means it is free to install simply by logging onto the WordPress website and downloading it onto your PC within a matter of minutes.

It is not necessary for you to have to know a lot of technical jargon to use WordPress and you can easily customize the platform to create a professional looking blog that suits the needs of your business. WordPress is also user-friendly to your blog readers and provides features that allow your readers to easily post comments and interact with the blog. What’s more is if you need to perform updates WordPress contains a simple content editor that allows you to focus on creating and uploading new blog posts and articles.

WordPress also offers a wide variety of widgets and wazzits to help you effectively manage your blog and social networking tasks and you can easily integrate RSS Feeds as well. The tutorials are step-by-step tutorials which allow you to easily integrate the widgets within a matter of minutes.

The only thing you will need to do with WordPress is find a hosting service that is capable of handling the WordPress blogging platform if you choose not to host your blog with WordPress hosting. When you host your WordPress blog you will have the convenience of having your own blog domain name such as www.yourblog.com which creates a more professional image.

Blogger

Blogger is a free blogging service that is offered by Google and all you have to do is open a free account with Google, log onto www.blogger.com and you will be walked through the process of setting up your blog.

When you use the Blogger platform you can be literally up and running within a matter of 10 minutes due to its easy template system and instructions for creating your blog.

Although Blogger is very useful for driving traffic to your website, keep in mind that it does not have as many options as WordPress. The limitations lie in the choice of templates and other things that you are unable to do with the blog however, if you are just getting started it is a great way to be up and running rather quickly and the platform will be recognized by the Google search engine when it comes to rankings.

Also keep in mind that if you use Blogger you will also have their domain name in front of yours such as www.blogspot.com/yourblog/. While this is not a bad thing some die hard bloggers see it as inferior if you do not have your own domain name. Regardless, a lot of bloggers use Google Blogger and generate a nice income if they stay consistent with their efforts and use it properly for driving traffic to their website.

You can also easily add widgets, wazzits, and RSS feeds to Blogger without a lot of hassles and generate income from advertisements that are carefully placed and are relative to the topic of your blog.

So if you are thinking you have to be a technical wiz to establish a blog, hopefully this will change your mind and make running your online business easier and less time consuming than you originally thought.

By setting up a business plan, you are road mapping your way to success. It will help you to develop your business goals and strategies, as well as providing you with a better understanding of the marketplace. It will also highlight any business strengths or weaknesses that you may have, as well as providing you with an opportunity to take a close look at your competitors. If you want, you can also include financial projections, historical data and growth expectations into your business plan.

With any good business plan, it should show who the target audience is, and just how the product or service that is being provided will meet or exceed their needs and expectations. When organizing a business plan it is best if you break it down into sections such as:

1. Business summary – The product or service you want to provide.

2. Market analysis – Research on the product or service and how the competitors are doing.

3. Product positioning – How to make it more prominent compared to your competitors.

4. Market strategy – How are you actually going to market it?

5. Customer analysis – Look at what the customer wants or needs.

6. Financial analysis – What you need to invest in order to set up the business and to keep it going while it is just getting started.

7. Overall business goals – What you hope to achieve in, say, a year’s time. But what is more important is that once a business plan has been developed, it should not lay in the back of a drawer somewhere. It should be a working plan that you can refer to when you need to.

The best way to make a business plan is to keep it simple (one or two pages should be all you need). Certainly one of the best things you can do when starting an online business is to create a plan then stick with it.
