Quick Tips for Building a Business Online


The opportunities to build a business with online marketing are huge and growing every day. In fact, there’s so much opportunity out there some people become overwhelmed by all the possibilities.

When you can do anything, often you end up doing nothing. People get so dazzled by dollar signs and freedom from bosses and geography that it’s easy to forget that what you do for money is often more important than how much money you make.

Here are 10 quick tips for creating wealth, freedom, and personal satisfaction all at the same time based on experienced online business people:

1. Spend time thinking over your creative ideas and invest in careful planning.

2. Decide the goals and vision that matter to you most. Write it down and read it often.

3. Know your goal for now, and know where you want to be for each year to come.

4. Work on one idea at a time. Never splatter out with many ideas. It’s overwhelming.

5. Establish a dotted line of steps to reach short-, medium- and long-term goals.

6. Make sure your dotted lines look like one line and not a spider’s web of tangles.

7. Decide how much personal investment you are willing to give—now and in the future.

8. Determine your life/work balance and make a conscious effort to maintain it.

9. Revisit your vision and plan for business every three months. Adjust to fit.

10. Have a safety net and a Plan B for every potential obstacle you meet.

Building a business on the Internet takes time, a good plan, and a solid foundation. But it’s not necessarily about chasing the next big thing. Just realize that the true opportunities aren’t passing you by, no matter how fast the clock ticks in the virtual world.

25 Reasons Network Marketing Is Better



Network Marketing Professionals were always known to have a mindset of a better way in business. Since I got myself into Network Marketing way back 2012, I tried to read a lot of business articles and made friends with some of the local Network Marketers to help myself with this new endeavor.  There are tons of information about Network Marketing out there that would benefit anyone on this field of business but in reality, for most people, just three or five of these advantages would be enough to put all your heart and soul into your network marketing business.  Here they are!

1) Low Cost of Entry – In most cases, you can get into a network marketing company for less than a thousand dollars. 

2) Your Own Schedule – To me, this is one of the most attractive reasons for getting into a Network Marketing opportunity.  Getting to work your own schedule is incredibly appealing and convenient.

3) Tax Benefits for Home – When you have a home business, the tax benefits & savings alone can be greater than the cost of entry to get your business started.

4) Work From Anywhere – Portability – I’m not limited to where I work.  I can choose to work anywhere I want.  If I decide to move, I can.  There are no buildings or customer locales to consider.

5) Friendships – Yes, we all have work friends but the friendships developed through your network marketing company are different. They are based on common goals, common mindset, common objectives, encouragement, beliefs, etc.  I heard people say this before I was a part of network marketing but did not fully grasp it until I experienced this type of friendship.

6) No Employees – You are able to build your business without employees.  The headaches behind having employees in a traditional way are massive!

7) Residual Income – Residual income will allow you to collect revenue even when you are not on the clock.  Most people do not get paid unless they are on the clock, their store is open, they are billing clients or producing products.  Network Marketing is based on residual income.  Like the second point, this aspect was very key to my decision to join network marketing.

8) Security – Many people fear to lose their jobs.  When you have your own network marketing business you always have the stability of your network.  Network Marketing companies have come and gone, but the professional network marketer still has the asset of their network.

9)  No Income Ceiling – There is no income ceiling in Network Marketing.  If you want to double the size of your income you can!  Most local businesses or service companies have some level of a financial ceiling.  Finding opportunities that will not limit you is ideal.

10) Builds Social Skills – You will grow in Network Marketing, especially if you want a large income.  You should grow to become the person who helps others, encourages others and helps others get what they want out of life.  I love this aspect of MLM.

11)  Allows You To Help Others On A Massive Scale – Helping others is important to many people.  MLM allows you to do this and to do it on a large scale.  The ripple effect of your business and your personal impact can touch more people than you will ever know about.  To many, this is incredibly appealing.

12)  Your Personal Growth – Personal development is synonymous with Network Marketing.  The personal growth you have to experience for success is great, creating a better person.

13) No Discrimination Between Men & Women.  Everyone is on a level playing field and all have the same opportunity to succeed, thrive and excel.

14) Support, Help & Encouragement of Others In The Profession – Corporate companies do not provide this atmosphere.  Everyone is trying to climb their own way to the top, clawing their way through others to get there.

15) You Are Your Only Limit – The only limitations are those that you personally put in place.  The responsibility to succeed or fail is all on you.

16) Scalability – You can grow your income & customer base without having to grow your infrastructure.  That’s simply is not possible in a service organization.

17)  No Corporate Ladder – When people are trying to climb the corporate ladder there are always limited positions, meaning someone succeeds and someone does not.  Network Marketing allows all to succeed to build their business.

18)  No Commute – If you’ve ever had to suffer through rush hour traffic, you know the advantage of working from home and avoiding this nightmare!

19)  Quickly Profitable – It doesn’t take people very long to become profitable in Network Marketing.  That is certainly not the case in most franchise or for most startups.

20) No Inventory – Most Network Marketing companies no longer require inventory since most products are now drop shipped directly to your customer.  There are numerous advantages to this!

21) Leverage Time / Network – Because of the structure of the business, you are able to leverage your time by leveraging your network.

22) Training Readily Available – Because Network Marketing is a system and so many independent distributors are involved, training is typically at your fingertips.  Opening your own business and there are constant trials and errors.  Network Marketing is a system that you buy into and is easy to duplicate and teach.

23) International Possibilities – Most Network Marketing companies allow you to build teams Internationally.  This means you can have an international business very easily.  Think of the possibilities with this – you can travel abroad building your team and organization, writing off the cost of the travel as a legitimate business expense.

24) No Billing / Accounts Receivables – Because transactions are now mostly handled online, you do not have to worry about accounts receivables or even sending out invoices.  If you have ever been in a business that had to bill its customer base, you know what a cash flow nightmare this is.

25) You Are Building Your Own Dream – For many years I worked for someone else.  And while I loved it, I was building someone else’s dream and fortune.  I must say, it’s much more fun building your own dream than building someone else’s dream.
