Falling On Your Feet Makes a Successful Entrepreneur?
Characteristics of the Successful Entrepreneur
Studies have shown that successful entrepreneurs possess these characteristics:
1. Self-confidence This is that magical power of having confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities.
2. Achievement Oriented Results are gained by focused and sustained effort. They concentrate on achieving a specific goal, not just accomplishing a string of unrelated tasks.
3. Risk Taker They realize that there is a chance of loss inherent in achieving their goals, yet they have the confidence necessary to take calculated risks to achieve their goals. Entrepreneurs are people who will make decisions, take action, and think that they can control their own destinies. They are often motivated by a spirit of independence which leads them to believe that their success depends on raw effort and hard work, not luck.
So which of these three main characteristics is the most important? Believe it or not, it has to be self-confidence. Without self-confidence, nothing else is possible. If you don't believe in your abilities, then the first challenge that arises may knock you off the path to achieving your goals. Here are a few things to keep in mind for maintaining a higher level of self-confidence. Positive Thinking Well, it all starts with a positive attitude, doesn't it? Believing that something good will happen is the first step. Negative thinking simply is not allowed. You must truly believe that there are no circumstances strong enough to deter you from reaching your goals.
Remember too, that positive thinking can be contagious. When positive thinking spreads, it can open doors to new ideas, customers, friends, etc. Persistent Action Now all of the positive thinking and believing in the world is useless if it is not applied towards a goal. You have to take action, no excuses are allowed. This action must also be persistent. Trying once and then giving up is not going to be enough. Keep at it one step at a time. If you can't get by a certain step, then find a creative way to try again or just go around it. At the beginning of this article we identified a few traits that are common among successful entrepreneurs. You should be able to look ahead and see yourself where you want to be.
Now just maintain a strong belief in yourself and your skills, stick with it, and don't give up. If you can do that, you're already half way there!

What on Earth is Viral Marketing With e books?
Viral marketing sounds like a virus and we all know from press releases and disruption to our own computers, that computer virus' are a bad thing. So then, what is viral marketing? If you take a look at a virus, and think about how the virus works within your body or on your computer, -once you get one, unless you do something to stop it the virus grows and grows.Now apply that thinking to viral marketing using the Internet, growth and an increase in internet presence and traffic is exactly what you aim to achieve. This is where Viral Marketing can make the difference between the success and failure of your business. Viral marketing works fantastically with ebooks. Let's imagine you write an ebook which you sell at a low cost or give away for free... to say just three people, they each give it away to three friends... and they give it to ... get the picture? It will grow like wildfire, this is the basis of viral marketing! Soon you have 100's if not 1000's of people exposed to your ebook. Once these books are opened and people read your valuable content, this is just the beginning of the viral marketing process and your increase in revenue. With careful viral marketing planning, your ebook must be written so that it has recommendations within it to products and services which include your affiliate links. When someone reads one of your ebooks and likes a particular topic within it, if you have planned your viral marketing campaign successfully there will be your affiliate links to different products throughout this book that these people can click on to buy your recommended products. Watch your viral marketing in action and see the results in your bank balance! You will see growth from places where you have never been to! Like most things, viral marketing can have its drawbacks. Unless you take steps to protect your affiliate links, people will rob affiliate codes and modify them to rob your commission from you. Thus you do all the hard work with your viral marketing campaign for someone else. However lets us compare viral marketing with the virus,again. As with the virus there are remedies. One is called cloaking and it's very simple to incorporate into your viral marketing plan. Cloaking software is used where there are page re-directs, and it all works like web forwarding. What generally happens is you create these links similar to this: http://www.domain-name.com/word When someone clicks on your link, the link actually goes to http://www.viral marketing forsuccessfulbusiness.com Cloaking does two things; Hides the 3" long affiliate links companies make you use, and hides the affiliate code from thieves.Viral marketing does have many more advantages than disadvantages so do not be put off by this small problem. Just make sure that where you host your pages, or the software you use to build your web pages can do re-direct type forwarding. Viral marketing is about letting other people spread the ebook around. Use an auto responder to deliver your ebook automatically, Offer it on your web site. Give it away; do not sell if at all possible or sell it for a small amount the more people that get your book, the more viral marketing exposure you will get. Remember the more clicks to affiliates and the more sales you make. You will need ebook or web site content, so unless you are a professional web copy writer, you may need some help. One best idea is to find base articles and re-work to suit. To have a starting place is a tremendous advantage and great time saver too a great place that we have found with original content about viral marketing can be found at successful viral marketing . So do not be afraid to jump out there and become an author or a webmaster, maybe even both. Ebooks and information are hot commodities. When you market them virally, nature takes over and it spreads. Have you ever received an ebook from someone else that bought it, and the intent was for each reader to purchase the book? It's quite natural to share and that is the beauty of viral marketing. Growth comes naturally and easily, but you have to get started now, it takes time to work. Articles are a great way to get your information to the millions of websites on the internet, the power of articles can not be understated. Some great software and information about web cloaking can be found at viral marketing online. Once the virus affect of viral marketing kicks in, the only thermometer you will be using is to make sure your margaritas are cold. Start your viral marketing campaign today!

How To Turn Article Writing Into Cash
Into Cash
To make money by writing articles there are several different areas
that need to be addressed. It is important for you as the author to ask
yourself several questions before starting to write an article. After a little
practise most of us can write an article, the skill however lies in
how to turn article writing into cash. The article has to be
relevant to your business and has to have good content which relates
to your niche product or business.
The basics in writing the article are much the same, no matter where
you use it. It should be written to make the best use of keywords
without being crammed with them. Marketing Gurus talk about keyword
density and tricks on how to add keywords which the search engines
can find.
In particular Jason Potash's software shows you how to do this! Information is what the reader requires so it is very important not to write one big sales pitch or commercial. Readers have searched for something specific on the internet and have clicked through to your article
because they want to learn something. If they do, they are more
likely to click on your site to see what else you have to offer.Gradually you can steer them or woo them towards your promotions or products.
The writer needs to be sure that the information is accurate and
proof read, it is important that there are no grammatical errors.
Poor content combined with incorrect spellings make the article look
poor and amateurish. The article should be broken down into manageable paragraphs and
it is important to keep the line length about 60-65
characters so the reader doesn't have to use his mouse to scroll to
the right hand side of the page to read your article.
Another inside tip that you should consider when success on " how to
turn your article writing into cash " is to ask who will actually
write the article?You may be an expert in a particular niche area,
say dog training or fly fishing and may feel comfortable in writing
the article yourself, or maybe you don't like writing at all or do
not have the time to write your own articles.Try out Ghost Writers, people who will write your articles for you. Try out
one or two different ones and look at their style, you may prefer
one style of writing to another, or prefer one format to another. A
good place to find people who can write articles for you is elance.
Where do you place your articles?
One of the most obvious places to promote your article is article
directories because they will submit them to hundreds of relevant sites. The
author's link is then sent out with the articles and hopefully many readers will click on it to find out more about this author, especially if the subject is in his area of marketing. This is how
you will turn your article writing into cash - write a good relevant
article, which target specific keywords then submit it to articles,
it is worth however learning how to submit your article correctly as
you could do all the hard work and miss out one small but very very
important detail, the resource box. Read our article on article submission.
If you have your own website this is a great venue for your articles. A good example
would be to put the article on affiliate marketing on a web page.
Then links on that page can offer the reader a route to one or more
of your affiliate sites. Or why not write an on the benefits of using
autoresponders and have a link to one or two?
Make sure that your articles not only use keywords that relate to
whatever subject about which you are writing, but remember that
content is king, but more importantly it should be original content
as the search engines like Google are identifying sites with
duplicate content and clamping down on them. Commercials are fine but save them for your
blog or a broadcast to your subscriber list. Well-written niche articles can help
you build an opt-in list and it is important that once you start
establishing your opt in list, you subscribe them to your
autoresponder!
Your readers will be anxious to read more of your material and we all know that subscriber lists lead to income opportunities. Your site's reputation will increase as well
and it may be that some of your subscribers may recommend your site
to others, it could be that your credibility increases within the
realm of the world wide web and webmasters and software developers
etc may want to joint venture with you!
Be sure to stick to subjects that either pertain to your type of
business or if you are promoting affiliate products and sites, aim
your subject to whatever you are promoting. Not an ad, maybe more
information on the general subject of that product. For example, if
the product is a vitamin, write an article on the need to supplement
your nutrition.
Where Do I Advertise?A good way to advertise articles is to set up each article on a web
page and then make a master list on a separate page with a link to
the article. Using an autoresponder for the same method is good too.
Then take out an ad, either paid or unpaid, and advertise the master
list.
Articles obviously can be used in various places and with a little
imagination your business will greatly profit from them, if you
follow the guidance in this article you will be well on your way to
learning how to turn your article writing into cash.

Is Clickbank Here To Stay? - clickbank for beginners !
It is quite possible that you may not have heard of Clickbank, we have therefore written this article, " clickbank for beginners " to get you started. For those of us that "eek out" a living online, Clickbank is one of the core resources used to generate cash flow.
There are several ways to produce income through Clickbank and they can all add up to a tolerable income paid in two week cycles, therefore clickbank is for beginners and experts alike, we all need to generate multiple income streams and clickbank allows us to do just this.. The two main ways of creating income through Clickbank are "affiliate sales" and "direct product sales". Affiliate Sales There are thousands of downloadable digital products for sale at Clickbank in a variety of categories covering a wide range of topics.
When products are added to Clickbank by the sellers they are given the opportunity to allow for affiliate sales. The product owner determines the percentage to be paid to the affiliate, if any.
Once a category is clicked on in the Clickbank Marketplace, sub-categories and product listings appear. For example, today in the 'Business to Business' category the top selling product listed is: Data Entry Ads Online - Join The Best! [Earn 50%].
As an affiliate marketer, you would click on the [Earn 50%] link and fill in your Clickbank ID to capture the correct Clickbank Hoplink for the product. This Hoplink would be used in conjunction with all ads directing traffic to a particular product. Each product Hoplink contains the ID of the affiliate and the ID of the seller thus making successful affiliate sales attributable to the correct parties.
View The Clickbank Marketplace
Clickbank has an automated tracking system that determines which affiliate, if any, is to be associated with the sale. Although Clickbank feels their tracking system is "more fair and accurate than any alternative" it is still not perfect. There are apparently ways for unscrupulous people to take advantage of the system for their benefit at the expense of those of us who do not delve into such matters. Link cloaking can be useful in these situations. The benefits of affiliate marketing through Clickbank far outweigh any potential negative experiences that may arise due to an unscrupulous few.
Direct Product Sales (Your Own Products) A popular way for internet marketers to get their products to the public is by using Clickbank payment processing. Clickbank makes it very easy for anyone to sell a downloadable product through their service and their fees are not likely to be out of the reach of anyone with computer access. Although not shy about being one of the most expensive payment processors on the Internet, Clickbank makes up for their several imperfections by general ease of use and reliable service. It is simple to sign-up for a Clickbank ID; just go to Clickbank.com and create an account.
You can begin to promote affiliate products immediately after your membership is confirmed. To sell your own products on Clickbank there is a seven step process:
(1) Signup with Clickbank (2) Make a "Pitch Page"
(3) Make a "Thank You Page"
(4) Make a Test Purchase
(5) Submit Product Approval Request
(6) Pay $49.95 Product Review Fee
(7) Set Your Product Price and Start Making Sales!
It is not mandatory to offer affiliate sales of your products but there is at least one good reason to do so. Often sellers get to a point where affiliate sales produce enough income that they can stop using pay per click advertising to drive traffic to their site. What is lost in direct sales at the full item price is made up by the savings in pay per click marketing.
Overall, Clickbank is an excellent place to get a start in product sales on the Internet. Whether you are selling your own product or putting up affiliate links, the potential to create a viable income is available to everyone. Clickbank is here to stay !

What Is Google Adsense All About?Is it a Con?
What is google adsense?
A large proportion of the Internet marketing community has some idea about what googleadsense is all about, however don' t be alarmed it is not that hard to understand! Google Adsense can be a very lucrative joint venture for you if you take the time to understand how the process works, so having a better understanding of Adsense is worthwhile.
Googleadsense are ads which are published on websites with the consent of the websites owner. The first step is that you have to set up a googleadsense account (just click on the banner above), then you will go through the application process.
The ads are created by publishers that are selling products and/or creating brand awareness. The ads that are created are called Adwords and they are also a Google sponsored program. Google Adwords and googleadsense run hand in hand.
Every time someone does a search on Google or one of their partner networks and clicks on one of the sponsored ads, then the person who created that ad will pay Google a predetermined price. This is where the term "pay per click" comes from. Now the beauty of googleadsense is that the person who owns or hosts the web site that the Adwords ads appear on will split the amount of money that Google receives from the creator or publisher of the ad. It is a well guarded secret what the percentage of the split is, and it does vary, but for our purposes let's say it's 50%.
If a publisher is willing to pay .40 per click for his Adwords ad, then the host of the website that welcomes googleadsense can expect to see roughly .20 every time someone clicks on that ad that appears on their site. The other .20 is kept by Google. So basically it is a partnership of sorts between Google and web site owners. Adsense is shown in the most relevant way possible. What does this mean? Well, probably the best way to illustrate this would be through an example. Let's say Mary had a website featuring women's clothing.
If Mary wanted to monetize her web site with Googleadsense the ads that would be shown would all be related to clothing, and more precisely, women's clothing. If a page of her site was dedicated to shoes, then the Adsense ads appearing on that page would be for women's shoes. So how is the price per click determined? This is where the Adwords side of the equation kicks in. Adwords publishers bid on keywords. The more lucrative or sought after a keyword is, the more the publisher will be willing to pay for each click.
Keywords range anywhere from a few cents to in excess of $50 per click. It is not very hard to see how someone with a web site that generates a decent amount of traffic can make some nice money by putting googleadsense on their site. Many Internet marketers will create web sites with specific content for the sole purpose of attracting high paying googleadsense ads. Top Internet marketers can earn in excess of $10,000 a month on Adsense, and you can too!

Read This Before You Join The Commission Junction Affiliate Program
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is an online advertising channel in which online companies sell products or services through a central company, like Commission Junction.
Independant companies or individuals can promote the products or services which these online companies sell on their own website. If the visitor makes a purchase through your affiliate link (this is provided by CJ and similar companies, so it is usually just a case of cutting and pasting the html into your website), then once the payment is received for the goods or services you earn a commission.
The commission junction affiliate program is a great way to start a business particularly if you do not want any stock or do not have large amounts of cash to start your business. A website is relatively easy to set up and costs relatively little.

How The Commission Junction Affiliate Program Works
Advertisers in the Commission Junction market place, choose the businesses whose products they would like to promote, the interface then automatically creates the ad links, and it is then a case of copying the code and placing it into your website. Each company states how much commission can be earned within the commission junction affiliate program, this could be a fixed amount per lead or a percentage of a resulting sale on the advertiser's Web site.
Once the link is placed on your site, the consumer can click on this link and a cookie is then set on the visitors browser, this enables the software within the commission junction affiliate program to collect information as to where the lead has come from (you!), the company within CJ who is selling that product, the link and the payment rates. This is all tracked and recorded by commission junction affiliate program, which then handles the collection and processing of the transaction so that you can be paid for the sale.
When you sign up to the commission junction affiliate program you are assigned a login and password, this gives you access to the CJ interface which allows you to choose which companies you wish to promote, the percentage/fixed rate commissions and you can also see instantly how much commission you have earned.
Setting up a website focussed towards one particular niche or set of niche products is made easy with the commission junction affiliate program, all you need to do is log into your account and choose which products you would like to promote on your website.
