Boy How Things Have Changed

By Leave a Comment

Boy how things have changed. The nations largest less then truckload (LTL) company YRC closed their doors this past August. While not employed by YRC, I myself suffered from bad management practices earlier this year.

“We have identified a reduction in force was necessary due to a change in business needs. Your position with the company will be eliminated.”

My last words weren’t of despair over the fear of losing my job of 12 years, but rather thanking the boss Adam Henry for the opportunity to do better.

Boy how things have changed.

Lifetime jobs have all but disappeared. The kind your grandparents or even your parents had.

You know, the ones where you worked at ONE job for your entire career and retired.

My father in law worked for the USPS for 37 years before he retired.

And the pandemic has affected the way we do business forever, more companies are focusing on work from home and remote jobs.

My neighbors do this, but people with traditional jobs like me are always wondering.

Are we living in the last generation?

Are you working hard, coming home tired every day and still short on payday?

Well if you’re willing to rethink how you work, consider this.

You can take advantage of today’s economy with a side hustle.

What am I talking about?

OK. If you’re someone who is willing to put in the work.

And decide to go all in, then you will actually learn how to earn extra income.

Boy how things have changed.

  • Imagine not having to actually drive to work anymore.
  • And work from the comforts of home.
  • Eventually working just a few hours a week.
  • Working whenever (and wherever) you want to.
  • Imagine making more income in few hours a week.
  • Than you used to make after 50 hours of work.
  • Does this sound far-fetched to you?

That’s normal.

Remember growing up, how your parents and others had all the answers.

Telling you that your life should follow this simple plan.

  • Go to school for 15 to 20 years.
boy how things have changed
  • Work a job/career for 40 years.
boy how things have changed
  • Retire comfortably (if you don’t die first.)

Once upon a time, this might have been possible (but not for most people now).

Millions of people work most of their lives for a retirement (and 401k) and settle for that.

There’s is nothing wrong with that, but it seems like a waste of a life.

  • Wouldn’t you rather enjoy life now.
  • Learn how a side hustle can make you money.
  • Enjoy the time and freedom of entrepreneurship.

Still don’t believe this is possible? Then quit reading right now. The truth
is, you have to change your attitude and quit settling.

This is where Skool can help you build a strong foundation for your home business.

Are Home Business Courses Legitimate?

By Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered…are home business courses legitimate? Does the idea of having a home business that generates passive income sound too good to be true?

are home business courses legitimate

In reality, that’s the dream for a lot of people.

You can get your own online business immediately, thanks to todays technology.

Considering affiliate marketing for example, search Google for affiliate marketing programs.

There are many unique programs and they each promise so much for you to join them that it almost seems unreal.

A couple sound attractive and are easy to sign up, even though you might not make any money.

I’d like to introduce you to a couple online courses that I currently use and trust.

The first program is Passive Affiliate Profits (PAP).

PAP includes all of the training, tools, resources, and mentorship you need to generate high-ticket commissions.

It is designed as a semi-passive, 2-step business model, which over-delivers for a one time charge of $7.

It does NOT require you to upgrade to complete the course and it even offers a lifetime money back guarantee if you decide it’s not for you.

The first thing I must make absolutely clear…there is no way you will make money without effort.

If you want to run an online home business, it will take a lot of work at the beginning.

What you don’t see is the product creator has spent countless hours, days, weeks and even longer.

To be able to work just a few hours a day and it brings in commissions on autopilot.

The best home business course that I found is the Millionaire Challenge System (MCS).

It all starts with the explainer video, where you can meet the creator of PAP and MCS, Zach Crawford.

Remember these 2 programs will NOT work for you, if you don’t put in any effort.

Depending on your time commitment, you could start part time with your home business.

Home business courses are designed to help, but will not do the work for you.

Some programs will give you a branded website that you can promote.

Affiliate marketing is an easy way to start, if you don’t have a something to sell.

Those two programs are what you need if you are considering an online business.

My goal is to help you understand that it is very doable to create an online business.

And have fun learning something new and possibly getting “Cha-Ching” emails!

How to Approach Affiliate Marketing

By Leave a Comment

Here’s how to approach affiliate marketing if you’re considering starting a home business and you think that an affiliate marketing program is the best way to begin.

Affiliate marketing is the best way for anyone to make money online from home.

It’s easy to start, and the potential to make money fairly quickly is possible.

And the best part is that for a one time price of your favorite Starbucks, you can to get started immediately.

OK, I’ll give up my daily Starbucks and click this image just this one time!

However, there’s a lot more involved than just a great program.

There are other considerations below that you need to address first.

How to approach affiliate marketing

1. How many e-mail lists do you subscribe to?

When you open your marketing email, your inbox and spam folders are filled with a bunch of “the next best thing” offers.

Simply starting a home business is easy, compared to a retail business, but that doesn’t mean it will happen overnight.

In fact, most people usually quit after a short time because nothing happens.

2. Do not jump from one ‘sure thing’ to the next.

Just like being on too many guru’s email lists and suffering from information overload, you will never find success jumping from one program to another.

The only one making money is the product owner because you’re spending money on all of these “sure things”.

Find the ONE program you like, learn all you can about it and stick with it.

Realize that you may not make any sales immediately since it will take some time to generate traffic.

But if you’re willing to show up everyday, you will start to see more progress and sales as you grow.

3. For most people, just promote ONE product.

Think about this…

Imagine if you have one page where you sell ten products.

And you have the potential to make a commission of $20 for each product you sell.

You will need to sell 10 different products instead of just focusing on ONE product or service.

In fact, each product needs it’s own page, sales funnel and autoresponder setup so you can market it.

Don’t kid yourself, even full time experienced marketers would have trouble managing 10 unique sites.

Just start with ONE product, learn how to market and make money from it, then consider scaling.

4. Don’t believe that all you have to do is post a link and collect money.

LOL, if it were truly that easy, everyone participating would become rich overnight.

Bottom line: You need to learn current internet marketing techniques.

Learn which method is currently used on social media that generates all the traffic you need.

It’s best to decide on ONE traffic generation method, learn it and start driving traffic.

Once you master that traffic source, then consider a second method.

One that you can learn and master as well.

When you approach affiliate marketing, there are no shortcuts.

Let me mention that some internet marketing techniques are easy to learn while others are difficult.

How much you decide to learn will be entirely up to you.

Remember not to spend all of your time learning and not taking action.

Joining Passive Affiliate Profits (PAP) is the best way for you to learn your skillset.

If you take your business seriously, then commit the time you need to learn.

Introducing Affiliate Marketing

By Leave a Comment

Drumroll…Introducing affiliate marketing. Have you ever been scrolling on your favorite social media site and found some product(s) within the content?

introducing affiliate marketing

Well that person could earn a commission if the product link is clicked and you purchase it through their link.

Introducing affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is an activity that you can do on your phone from the comfort of home.

Interested?

Then you should learn some basic information about how to make money with affiliate marketing.

I’d like to offer you step by step guidance to become a successful affiliate marketer.

Introducing affiliate marketing.

Unfortunately, when most people start affiliate marketing, they will not make a sale.

You really must understand the process or you may not earn anything.

To help you start affiliate marketing and be successful, here are a few steps to follow.

1. Choose a niche

In popular niches, affiliate marketing is very competitive.

You have a better chance of making sales from popular in demand products or services.

Consider using the product or service that you are interested in, nothing builds a great relationship with your audience than actual experience.

Furthermore, explaining how you use the product or service is something most affiliates don’t do.

If you blog, your content should talk about how you using the product or service.

For example, if you’re into keto, you can talk about how the program and/or supplements are part of your daily regimen.

There are always people wanting to know more about keto and that’s how you can help them.

Get them on your email list so you can deliver valuable tips, advice and what’s currently working for you.

2. Research the market

That’s a great idea!

Research the market to ensure that there are people willing to pay for it.

Start by utilizing Google to identify some of the products currently selling online.

Create a list of contenders with pro’s and con’s, plus or minus, free or paid etc.

Within minutes, you will be able to determine which products offer the best value.

For example, some affiliates will buy, use and promote a popular product or service and write or talk about their experience with it.

You can create valuable content based on your observations, pro’s and con’s about the product etc.

3. Analyze the competition

Where are you at compared to the competition?

You need to determine how well the competition is doing in the program you are interested in.

Again, make a list from the results of your due diligence.

Deep dive into those sites you really like and study how they do affiliate marketing.

Opt-in to their email list and check out how they approach and interact with you.

Do their emails deliver free, value based information about the product without being salesy?

When you find someone who is successful doing what you are seeking to do, model them.

4. Researching available affiliate programs

By now, you should have determined which program will work for you.

These programs should offer you everything you need to become their affiliate.

The back office will provide everything you need, products, links, banners, swipe files etc.

All that is left for you to do now is to drive traffic to your custom affiliate link.

5. Pick your affiliate marketing method

You can choose from several affiliate marketing methods.

For blogging, you need to build a website using either free or paid hosting services.

Personally, I would recommend a paid hosting account over a free one.

You can still market with a free website, but you are extremely limited to what you can do.

If you do videos and reels, then Instagram and TT are great ways to introduce yourself.

6. Create and publish content

Start by producing valuable content and publish it on your website.

Or you can make short reels and videos to post on your favorite social media account.

Work on becoming consistent with your content and always give your readers (and subscribers) the quality content they need to make their choice.

Your value based content will drive more focused traffic to your (link) or website.

Plus your building your audience and email list of people who are seeking the solution to their problem.

Introducing affiliate marketing.

You need to utilize the best strategies that can help you reach a targeted audience and build a long term business relationship.

These basic steps will you get started on your journey.

If you want to go the next level with this or any other skill, and work toward developing a real mastery.

Then you are going to need a more powerful strategy.

What you need is a way to train yourself so you can develop a winning mindset.

A winning mindset is something that allows you to invest in yourself.

Believe it or not, most of what you do everyday is done without thinking about it.

Like a baby rolling over to start crawling, then walking.

You’ve already spent years programming your subconscious on how to deal with everyday scenarios.

In other words, you are able to function without having to THINK about them.

The same way you programmed your subconscious to crawl, walk and then run, you can also program it to automatically take successful actions toward mastering any other skill you decide that you want to learn.

Passive Affiliate Profits (PAP) is a proven, step-by-step formula to help you attain mastery.

Making Money Online Courses

Making money online seems to be a great way to earn a living. Imaging working from home, managing your own time and work schedule. But that’s only if you are able to make money online.

making money online

There is no secret recipe, at least that I know of.

What I can tell you is that it is possible, there are many different methods, but they each need time and work.

As with everything you do in life, sports, or learning a skillset, it’s hard at the beginning but once you learn and take action, it becomes easier and easier.

If you want to achieve your dreams, you can start right now.

Making money online involves the use of the Internet. Shocking, I know.

You can pretty much find anything online using your phone or laptop.

A little bit of history, I used a 56k modem to access the Internet years ago.

Now the connections are now wireless with gig speed availability.

The point is anybody can get online and having your business online is the best way to go.

Simply create a website and collect emails, so you can market a product or even a service.

Need a great money making online idea?

Everyday people try to create a website, but most of them fail.

Why? Because they do not have the right mindset.

Most newbies think a high paying affiliate offer is good enough to start.

Maybe, but if you don’t capture a visitors email address, you’re wasting your time.

With email marketing, you can easily presell by demonstrating the products value and answering their questions.

Which can lead to customers buying without ever needing to be pitched on the product.

If you are promoting decent services or products, making money with your website could be a reality.

Of course this does not mean that you will become a millionaire overnight.

But if your business runs well and you keep working on getting traffic it could happen over time.

People making millions online are those have the greatest concepts and ideas and who knows, maybe you will have one.

Look at Google and Facebook, those creators just had a great idea and they realized it.

They are not selling anything but they are making millions with their websites.

So one of the best ways to create your work at home business is to build a website and sell products or services.

It might seem scary, but today anyone with a little computer experience can create a website.

Today, companies are offering you branded websites to sell their software or service.

All you need is pretty much done for you.

They will help you to get traffic to your website too.

It suddenly became easy to create an online business.

Especially if you don’t have an idea and definitely do not want to build a website.

There are a lot more “making money online” programs that you can choose from.

Those programs offer a way to make money and you will need to do your due diligence.

I tried a few of them and so far MCS and Passive Affiliate Profits are two you should get.

The main thing those programs will teach you is how to promote and how to target your traffic to make sales.

I highly recommend these two programs.

If you have a website, you should know how to write blog posts to promote your product.

If you do this consistently, you will generate more traffic to get more people almost ready to buy.

The best part with MCS and PAP is that you even do not need to have a website.

You get a branded website to promote using free traffic from social media.

When people purchase through your branded website, you will get commissions.

This is definitely the best way start an internet business.

They will teach you everything you need to know on how promote any website.

I hope this article helps you to understand that it can be hard, but with the proper training and resources.

It becomes very doable to create an online business and to make money out of it.
