How to Get New Product Ideas
Odds are you've been a hair's breath away from a $10,000 product idea sometime in the last 24 hours – you just didn't recognize it. That's because great product ideas are all around you, but if you don't keep your eyes and ears open for them they'll pass you right by and get found by somebody else.
For example, you're online reading about a famous athlete from the past, and there's a sentence in there about how this athlete swore by using a special herb or a particular training technique. Most people would just breeze right by that sentence, but you're on the lookout for new product ideas. You do some research and find out that particular herb or technique does indeed give tremendous benefits to athletes and maybe even to people wanting to lose weight. Best of all, it's not widely known. So you do further research and make a report on it. Then you write a sales letter with all the stories you found and the benefits of this practically “secret” herb or technique, and now you've got a product.
Better still, you back end your customer with related products, or even sell them the herb or the technique on video. And all because of one sentence you read in a biography.
Let's give another example of finding ideas: You're on a forum and you see a question you haven't encountered before. You do a little research and realize this is a problem a lot of people are having, so you do further research and find a solution. Bingo! Another product.
One such bloke read comments from expensive sports car owners lamenting that their car emblems get stolen and they're several hundred dollars to replace. He asked if they'd be open to a less expensive alternative and the forum members asked how to order. That was a pretty clear sign, so he did some research, found the exact same car emblems for far less money and had himself a new business. In this case he didn't even need to create the product, he only needed to find it and make it available to his customers.
Let's say you're having coffee at the local coffee house, or a beer at the local pub. You start chatting with the guy next to you, and you find out he's an expert in something or other. So you begin to quiz him on his best knowledge and you find this guy is a treasure trove. You do some quick research online and find this is a lucrative niche, so you partner with this person and create a product.
And it doesn't have to be someone you meet by chance– it could be a book author, a blogger, someone in your local paper, etc. Contact them and see if they're open to working with you to earn additional income.
Now you're really into finding great ideas for new products, so you decide to get a little crazy. You place an ad in Craigslist looking for experts and offering to make them authors. Think you'll get responses? Likely so, and even if you don't find someone who fits, it didn't cost you a dime.
You go to your mailbox and you find one of those packets of various local advertisers. You open it up and find the following advertisers, which gives you these product ideas:
Liquor store – book on how to make your own liquors
Satellite television – this is a good CPA niche, but you could also make a product on how to watch all your favorite TV without buying cable or satellite
Cafe – an info product on how to do marketing for cafes and small restaurants
Auto mechanic shop – either products on how auto shops can do marketing, or on how consumers can get cars for cheap and also save money on maintenance.
Home security system – how to keep your family safe from harm
Landscape maintenance – how to landscape for minimal upkeep by using native plants, installing automated irrigation, etc.
Carpet cleaners – Joe Polish is a marketer who caters to this niche, teaching carpet cleaners how to clean up financially. And he makes a gob of money teaching in this niche. Makes you think, doesn't it? There are a ton of professions out there that desperately need marketing help.
Address labels – okay, this one has me stumped. While first class mail is at an all time low – who needs address labels? I'll tell you a secret: The sellers of address labels don't make anything selling the labels. They make their money by enclosing offers from all kinds of different businesses when they send out those labels. Sort of like doing multiple solo mailings at one time. Which is a great idea for a local service you can offer to businesses.
Dentist – info products that teach dental practices how to market, as well as products that teach how to get expensive dental services such as implants for a fraction of the cost.
Window cleaner – maybe a product on how to get new windows for cheap, or how to install them yourself? How about teaching people who to open their own window cleaning business?
Chiropractic – once again, how chiropractors can market as well as additional products and services they can sell to increase their profits
Golf course – anything that takes strokes off.
You get the idea – there are product ideas EVERY where, you just have to be open and attentive to find them.

28 Tips to Growing Your Business With Pinterest
Pinterest might look like a great way to waste time, but if you dig deeper you realize it's practically made for business. It's likely the only social network where people are actually expecting and looking for images of different products. This means people are often already in a buying mood when they go to Pinterest, and even if they're not, they could be persuaded by the right image.
Did you know that pins with price tags included tend to get 36% more likes than pins that don't include price tags? That says a lot about the frame of mind of the typical Pinterest user. And if your typical customer is female, you're in luck – 80% of Pinterest users are women.
“But I've got a service business,” you say, or you've got an information product business. “How do I make Pinterest work for me?” That will depend on your particular niche. If you're selling something like travel advice or horse care information or gardening tips, it'll be no problem to find pictures. If you're selling acne treatment info or marketing info, you'll have to get a little more creative with your pictures.
But even a black and white, no-photo type of stuffy publication like the Wall Street Journal can and does use Pinterest to drive interest up and traffic back to their site. How do they do it? By taking images of memorable quotes from Wall Street Journal stories and floating them over a column of blurred out text. The message is clear – if you want the rest of the story, you need to click the pin to go to the WSJ site.
https://ift.tt/H6G079
You could do something very similar with quotes from your own blogposts, sales letters and products. And as a happy side benefit, your writing will likely improve even more because you know you'll need some really snappy quotes to use on Pinterest.
Here then are 28 tips for using Pinterest to drive traffic to your website:
1. Set up a Pinterest business account. It's not required, but if you're going to promote via Pinterest, you'll look more professional and credible with a business account.
https://ift.tt/QGLStU
2. Build the perfect business profile. Here's a blueprint to help you create a profile that will attract your ideal customers and clients.
https://ift.tt/1iFBNpy
3. Track your campaigns with Piqora. The analytics lets you measure the impact and success of each promotion you do,so you know what's working and what's not. Plus you get tried and tested promotion templates, plus a wealth of helpful information on what's worked in the past.
http://www.piqora.com/
4. Create a great Pinterest board in minutes without editing tools by using Pinstamatic. You can add stickies, use quotes, add Spotify tracks, add a map and more to make your Pinterest board really stand apart from the crowd.
http://pinstamatic.com/
5. Get your Pinterest “goodies.” You'll want the “Pin It Bookmarklet” so that you can pin any image or video from the web.
6. Next, pick up the “Pin It Button” for your own website. This lets your readers pin anything like from your site. (HINT: Do not place photos on your website that you don't want on Pinterest.)
7. Finally, get the Board Widgets. This lets visitors follow your boards right from your website.
https://ift.tt/Z0u4L5
8. If you're interested in having your own Pinterest store to sell your own products, you can set up shop in just minutes with Shop Interest. Take advantage of their free trial to see if it's right for you.
https://ift.tt/UDccpl
9. For other tools to consider, check the Resources section of this month's issue
10. Be sure you have an opt-in form with incentive on every page of your website to capture your new Pinterest traffic.
11. Create at least one board and pin at least several things to it before you begin to build your Pinterest following. Just as you would want to have several posts on a new blog before you begin promoting that blog, you will also want to some content before you begin promoting your Pinterest board(s).
12. Know that a person could follow you, or they could follow a particular board of yours. If they follow you, then every time you pin to any board they will be notified. If they follow a single board, they will only be notified when you pin to that board.
13. Use keywords for your boards. Make each board specific to one set of keywords. By keeping each board tightly focused on one topic, you increase the chances of getting followers who are passionate about that topic.
14. Engage with others. Pinterest is a social network, so start following other users you think might want to follow you back (think Twitter). Like and comment on their pins.
15. Promote your Pinterest presence through other channels to get a jump start on building a following. Notify your list, your blog readers, your Facebook fans, your Twitter followers, etc.
16. Use an image for every blog post you make, then pin the image to Pinterest. It should be a strong, attention grabbing image that people would want to share. Not using images on your blog posts? You should be, because images are engaging – they hold people to a page longer and get them to read more.
17. Use infographics. If you can't create them yourself, get someone else to do it for you. Infographics are hot and they are often shared on Pinterest.
18. Pin your ebook covers and product covers. If your covers look amateurish, this is a good time to get them redone BEFORE you pin them. If possible, place the main benefit of your book or infoproduct as the subtitle on the product. For example, the title might be Global Blogging and then the subtitle might be, “How to start a worldwide rave for your brand.”
19. Pin photos of your happy customers. If you can, use photos of them either holding your product, using your product or enjoying the benefits of your product.
20. Add links back to your website in the pin descriptions. Use a relevant link. For example, link back to the blogpost where the image is located. Remember to have an opt-in form on every page of your website so you can capture some of this traffic. And track the leads you get from Pinterest so you can compare your stats with you other marketing venues.
21. Make it easy for visitors to pin from your website by adding images. Not just any image will do – it should be something your visitors will want to share. If using images from places like Flickr and Photo Bin, be sure to give the appropriate credit. Whenever possible, use your own images.
22. Check your stats. Pinterest does offer its own analytics to track the number of people pinning from your website, as well as how many views your pins have.
23. Check the “most repinned” list to see what's trending on Pinterest. This might give you some ideas for pins of your own.
24. Run contests. Running a “Pin to Win” contest can be a great way to get some Pinterest love quickly. Just make sure you follow the rule, because Pinterest has recently tightened its control on contests, as you can read here on WebMarketingToday.
https://ift.tt/2TToIFF
25. Use a contest to integrate your Pinterest account with your Facebook account. Shortstack “Pin and Win” template lets you create a contest on Facebook asking fans to Pin an image to their Pinterest account using a hashtag you specify. Entrants enter their contact info for a chance to win.
https://ift.tt/2QgOUYm
26. Create a user-generated pinboard. When you let other users (Your top customers? Your most loyal fans?) contribute their own pins to your pinboard, you're involving others in your marketing. Be specific when asking them to contribute. For example, ask them to pin a photo of themselves with your product.
27. Create a video gallery. Did you know you can also pin videos? Create a board of your best business videos. Mix in some great images, too, for peak interest.
28. Use hashtags. Yes, just like Twitter, Pinterest supports hashtags. You can tag your pins to make them easier to find. Are you rolling out a new product or starting a new campaign? Use the same hashtag on Pinterest, Twitter and Google+ to leverage your social media campaign.

‘Magic’ Words To Build Your Business Exponentially
It's fine to build your business gradually, a step here and a step there. But it's so much better, faster and just plain more FUN to build it by leaps and bounds.
Below you'll find the magic words that will help you to do just that. Forget taking the long, slow painful route and resolve to achieve a quantum leap, or true metamorphosis in your business.
1 Magic Word That Quadruples Productivity And Profits
There are a myriad of tasks any one online marketer needs to perform, and the faster and better those tasks are completed, the more profitable the business can be. But struggling marketers who are trying to balance administrative duties, product creation, social media, customer service, formatting and uploading books to Kindle, writing blog posts, setting up JV's, recruiting affiliates, writing emails, setting up autoresponders, doing research, writing sales copy, answering emails, forum posting and all their many other marketing tasks might be better off doing less, not more.
If you've ever been on a ship, you probably noticed the captain doesn't cook the meals or swab the deck. Nor does he maintain the engines, hoist the sails, plot the navigation or the other 101 duties that are done aboard a ship. Rather, he is the pilot of the entire operation, instructing everyone else on what to do.
Perhaps it's time you think of yourself as the pilot of your own business. Do those tasks which you are extremely good at, and OUTSOURCE the rest to professionals who excel in those areas. You will not only get far more done, but odds are the work will be completed faster in a more professional manner. And when you can quadruple your efforts by adding a few part time outsourcers, you can also quadruple your results and your profits.
Don't kid yourself – you cannot do it all and make the kind of money you want. As soon as you can afford to, start outsourcing. It's not only one of the most profitable things you can do, it also gets you away from the grindstone and able to see the big picture so you can better navigate the waters of your business.
2 Magic Words To Make You A Marketing Rockstar
If you want your content to be seen and shared, and if you want it to make a lasting impression of prospects, then the written word is seldom enough anymore. Let's do a test: Tell me everything you can about the person who wrote the blog post you read yesterday. Drawing a blank? Now tell me everything you can about a video you saw yesterday. Different story, right?
What if someone calls you on the phone to sell you something you're interested in, versus someone that shows up at your door. Which one are you more likely to buy from? Assuming you're not freaked out that a salesman appeared out of no where with the product that adequately fits your needs, you're going to buy from him, not the faceless person on the phone.
Obviously you can't visit your prospects in person, but you can do something almost as good – USE VIDEO People remember video over the written word because it engages more of the senses. If you only use the written word, you're simply not going to make nearly the same level of connection that you could have with video.
Now then, you might be afraid to get in front of the camera. If so, you can start out with slideshow videos, animated videos or screencast videos. Then move up to videos of yourself because this is the real pay off. This is where people start to feel like they can really connect with you and they KNOW you. Remember, content is more important than quality. You don't have to be the next Steven Spielberg to make this work, you just have to be authentic with something to say that people want to hear.
3 Magic Words That Can DOUBLE Your Sales
You should be doing this every single time you sell a product or service because it will invariably increase your bottom line. Marketers have added hundreds of thousands of dollars to their sales funnels by simply incorporating these three words into every sales system they create.
What are the 3 magic words? ALWAYS BE UPSELLING. Every single time you sell anything, offer an upsell / downsell sequence because it can turn your original $47 sale into a $300 sale or more, simply by offering the customer additional options.
Offer something that is complimentary to the original offer. It might make the original offer easier or faster to implement, go into more depth, offer more options, or even perform a service for them. It could be coaching, an additional information product, software, a membership program or anything else that helps the customer to achieve the result they want.
What if you don't have a product or service to offer as an upsell? Then find an appropriate affiliate product that matches your original offer. And here's a secret: When a customer turns down an upsell, they are typically more open to buying a lower cost (downsell) product. It's almost as though the higher ticket item warms them up to the downsell offer. This is why car dealers and real estate brokers like to show cars and properties that are too expensive for the client. Once they show the client something more affordable, the client is more likely to make an offer than if they'd been shown the lower cost model in the first place.
4 Magic Words To Get You More Clients
If you're selling big ticket items or services, I'm about to utter the 4 words 9 out of 10 marketers dread: PICK UP THE PHONE. Nothing sells as well as face to face contact except perhaps the phone. Let's face it – your prospects are inundated with emails and shout-outs on social media. If you really want to connect and make the sale, you need to pick up that 500 pound phone and establish a real one-on-one relationship.
If you're phone-a-phobic, start with existing customers. Find out how they're doing with the product(s) they've purchased and what you can do to help them along (coaching, perhaps?) Next, move on to your lowest hanging fruit – those prospects you deem most likely to bite. Make it a rule to call 5 people each day, and within 3 weeks you'll notice 2 things: First, being on the phone isn't so scary anymore. And second, business is definitely picking up.
5 Magic Words That Virtually Eliminate Any Competition
Whatever your niche, there are others who are doing very nearly the same thing, better known as your direct competition. For example, if you're a weight loss coach, there are thousands of other weight loss coaches you're competing against to gain clients.
That's why you've got to find a way to stand completely apart from the crowd, and the best way to do this is to CREATE A UNIQUE POSITIONING POINT for yourself and your business. Find that one thing that makes you totally different from all the other weight loss coaches out there, that thing that draws customers to you like flies. And mind you, saying that you're better, that your work is higher quality, that you've got more experience, etc., isn't unique. Everybody says those things.
Can't think of anything? Try this: “I will show you how to lose weight while NEVER feeling deprived and still eating the foods you love.”
Sign me up!
Here's one from a carpet cleaner: “If I don't remove your stain and get you sparkling clean carpets, I'll pay you $50 for your time.”
You're hired! I wouldn't need to hear another word in order to choose this carpet cleaner over all the others – would you?
A Chiropractor might advertise: “I'll get you immediate relief from your back pain or your visit is completely free.”
That's what I want to hear – make me an appointment now!
6 Magic Words That Double Subscribers
You already know how crucial it is to continually build your list. But are you being aggressive enough? The vast majority of websites are missing opportunities to grab more subscribers because they don't PLACE OPT-IN BOXES ON EVERY PAGE of their website. Yet this simple step can as much as DOUBLE the number of subscribers you get from your site.
Most websites have an opt-in box on the homepage or none at all. But very few have an opt-in box on every single page. And fewer still place opt-in boxes on both the right sidebar above the fold, and again at the bottom of each post. But adding these boxes along with a great incentive to sign up will increase the number of subscribers you get. And make sure your opt-in box stands out with clean lines and no clutter.
And go ahead and place opt-in boxes in unexpected places as well. Do you have sales pages? Place an opt-in box on each one. Do you have more than one sign-up incentive? You might place one incentive in the right sidebar, and the other at the bottom of the page. This way if one incentive doesn't interest them, then the other one might. You can then position your follow ups according to the incentive they chose.
You might even place a video with your opt-in boxes, instructing the reader to fill in their email address and press the button to get the incentive. By telling people what to do, you increase the chances they'll actually do it.
Can you make a short, snappy and powerful quiz people can take? This is another way to capture email addresses. Once they finish the quiz, you request their email address so you can send them their confidential results via email.
7 Magic Words To Build Your Visibility And Reach a Larger Audience
If you're not on Google+ yet, you're missing the boat. Google+ will increase your visibility, help you boost traffic to your site, improve your search engine ranking, improve your authority, increase the distribution of your content, and connect you to your potential customers, affiliates and joint venture partners. That's a LOT of benefits you're missing out on if you're not already on Google+, but it gets even better.
Google+ has a feature called Hangouts, which brings us to your 7 magic words to increase your audience and your visibility: HOST REGULAR GOOGLE PLUS HANGOUTS ON AIR. Hangouts are multi-participant video chats. When you host a hangout, you can carry on a training or conversation.
Your Hangouts might be informal chats, scripted or anything in between. You can keep the Hangout private, or you can live stream and broadcast your Hangouts on Live Hangouts On Air. By publicly streaming your show, it's automatically recorded and added to your YouTube account. It's streamed live on your Google+ profile, and you can embed it on your website.
If you don't want it to go live, you can make it private, download it when you're finished and edit it before posting it.
This is a great way to reach a huge audience and cement your reputation. Make a plan on how and when you will use Hangouts on Air, and set up a regular schedule for broadcasting. Think about using Google Hangouts for teaching and lecturing, for coaching, consulting, interviews, webinars, product demonstration, hold question and answer sessions, etc. The possibilities are exciting and nearly endless. For more information on how to use Hangouts on Air, go here:

8 Magic Words That Increase The Money In Your List 10 Fold
A list full of buyers is worth at least 10 times more than a list full of people who haven't purchased anything from you yet. In fact, in most cases a buyers list is often worth closer to 100 times more than a list of prospects, and here's why: When someone purchases anything from you, even if they only spend $1, they are now in a vastly different mindset concerning their relationship with you and your products. They now have an OWNERSHIP mindset because they own one of your products, and because of this they are far, far more likely to purchase from you again and again and at higher and higher price points.
So what are the 8 magic words that increase the money in your list 10 fold or more? TURN PROSPECTS INTO BUYERS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. In the beginning it doesn't really matter if they are spending $1 or $100. The important thing is they have crossed that threshold from prospect to buyer.
How do you get prospects to immediately buy? The easiest way is to get them pre-sold by people they already know and trust. This means having affiliates refer people to you. If you cookie the affiliates in so that they receive commissions on anything prospects purchase for a long period of time, such as a year or even lifetime, affiliates will be more than happy to send you referrals.
Other ways to get people pre-sold on you before they even hit your site is to guest blog, to do joint ventures, and to create products that others in your niche can give away as a bonus to their own product. Whatever it takes, turn your prospects into happy customers as quickly as possible and you'll be able to continue to sell to them for a long time to come.

You might place one incentive in the right sidebar, and the other at the bottom of the page. This way if one incentive doesn't interest them, then the other one might. You can then position your follow ups according to the incentive they chose.
You might even place a video with your opt-in boxes, instructing the reader to fill in their email address and press the button to get the incentive. By telling people what to do, you increase the chances they'll actually do it.
Can you make a short, snappy and powerful quiz people can take? This is another way to capture email addresses. Once they finish the quiz, you request their email address so you can send them their confidential results via email.

8 Magic Words That Increase The Money In Your List 10 Fold
A list full of buyers is worth at least 10 times more than a list full of people who haven't purchased anything from you yet. In fact, in most cases a buyers list is often worth closer to 100 times more than a list of prospects, and here's why: When someone purchases anything from you, even if they only spend $1, they are now in a vastly different mindset concerning their relationship with you and your products. They now have an OWNERSHIP mindset because they own one of your products, and because of this they are far, far more likely to purchase from you again and again and at higher and higher price points.
So what are the 8 magic words that increase the money in your list 10 fold or more? TURN PROSPECTS INTO BUYERS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. In the beginning it doesn't really matter if they are spending $1 or $100. The important thing is they have crossed that threshold from prospect to buyer.
How do you get prospects to immediately buy? The easiest way is to get them pre-sold by people they already know and trust. This means having affiliates refer people to you. If you cookie the affiliates in so that they receive commissions on anything prospects purchase for a long period of time, such as a year or even lifetime, affiliates will be more than happy to send you referrals.
Other ways to get people pre-sold on you before they even hit your site is to guest blog, to do joint ventures, and to create products that others in your niche can give away as a bonus to their own product. Whatever it takes, turn your prospects into happy customers as quickly as possible and you'll be able to continue to sell to them for a long time to come.

3 Simple Ways to Earn Your Visitor’s Trust on Your Blog
Blogging can be a fun and interesting tool to build your business. It provides value to readers, the format is fairly straight forward to manage and create. It’s also a well-accepted and loved means of connecting with others, learning, and exploring the world. As a blogger and business owner, you’ll be better able to pull people into your community and keep them engaged if you’ve earned their trust and trust. There are several tactics you can embrace to help accomplish this feat.
#1 Stick to the Point
As a blogger it’s easy to get carried away with the content in your blog post. There’s so much information to share and the medium is personal. It’s not uncommon for a blogger to talk about several topics in one post and to stray from the point with personal examples. While this deviation and long winded approach to informing and educating may seem great to you, your readers have limited time, attention spans, and they really just want you to share the good stuff with them – skip the fluff and meandering.
Decide what you want to teach or share and then create a three to five point message that helps you accomplish your goals. If you share stories or examples, make sure they appropriately convey your point. You’ll earn your reader’s trust when you consistently provide value and stick to the point.
#2 Your Keyword Approach is Obvious
Don’t you just love it when you’re reading a blog post and the writer uses the same three keyword phrases so often you’re distracted and counting the keywords rather than reading the material? It happens. Write for your readers first, and the search engines second. Search engines are becoming savvier about how they identify quality content and keyword stuffing doesn’t really work anymore. Focus on your readers.
#3 Care About What You’re Saying
There are subtle signs that you just don’t care anymore and if you don’t care, your readers don’t either. Show you care by editing what you write. Writing content that is important to your readers and that you feel confident about. And by sharing your personality and vision with your readers. Be authentic and transparent. There tends to be a misconception amongst bloggers that quantity is more important than quality. Wrong. You’d do better to earn their trust if you wrote one great blog post a month rather than five iffy posts each week.
You earn your visotor’s trust by thinking about them first and last when you’re brainstorming blog post topics and creating your content. Earn their trust and confidence they’ll become part of your community and convert to customers and referral sources.

3 Ways to Reboot Your Entrepreneurial Mindset
When you started your online business you were full of enthusiasm, creativity, and the motivation to deal with every challenge that came your way. After some time in business, it’s common for some of the enthusiasm to slip away. You may find that you’re spending more time managing your business and less time doing what you love. This ebb in passion affects your motivation, your creativity and your productivity too. If you’ve felt less than joyful about your business lately, it may be time to reboot your entrepreneurial mindset. To get back to that place you were in when you first started.
1. Realize you’re in Control
One of the facets that affects the spirit is the knowledge and belief that you’re in control. If you’ve begun to feel controlled by your business or by your customers then it’s time to stop. You’re the owner of your business. You get to make any changes you want. That means you can even sell or close your business. Stand up, take a deep breath, and say aloud, “I’m in control of this business.” Now you can sit down and take a look at the next steps.
2. Discover out your weaknesses
What about your business do you find draining? What do you procrastinate on, complain about, and not look forward to? For example, if you’re a coach and you find that following up and scheduling appointments is the worst thing ever then write that down. If you’re an information marketer and you just hate formatting your products and adding graphics then write that down. Anything that stinks about your business, write it down – even if it’s a big deal. For example if you’re an affiliate marketer and you dislike creating content then write that down.
3. Find the solution to your shortcomings
Now is not the time to tell yourself you just have to live with it. You’re an entrepreneur which means you’re a creative problem solver extraordinaire. You can find a solution to this challenge. Brainstorm the possibilities. For example, if you’re the affiliate marketer who has become completely disillusioned by your niche and can’t find anything to write about there are solutions to this problem. You could hire a writer. You could start a new affiliate business, one that you are interested in.
Still stumped? Start talking with other entrepreneurs in and outside of your niche. Learn from them. Become engaged and start interacting. You may find a new sense of passion, a new business idea, or a new way to approach your business. Remember, you’re the boss.

How to Edit Your Content and Copy for Better Results
As an online marketer you probably put a lot of time, energy, and even money into the content and copy on your website. Hopefully your efforts are paying off. You might be surprised to know that learning a few editing tricks can help you enjoy higher conversions and a better response.
Write a First Draft
Most writers, non-fiction, fiction, and copy writers, agree that it’s important to just get the words down on paper first. Don’t worry too much about how it reads or if you’re achieving your ultimate goal. Give yourself permission to write a terrible first draft. By allowing yourself this freedom, you’ll likely find that the end result is better. It becomes easier to write from your creative brain rather than trying to edit, format, and optimize your very first draft. Just write freely toward your goal. Get everything down on paper.
Set it Aside
Once you’ve written your terrible first draft, walk away. Give yourself time to ruminate about what you wrote. This may take an hour or it may take a day or two. During this time you’ll probably rewrite the piece several times in your thoughts. You’ll think of things you want to add. You’ll have ideas about how you want to structure the piece. You may also decide to delete some thoughts or ideas in the piece. Chances are these ideas will come to you when you’re performing mundane activities. You’ll have a stroke of brilliance while you’re walking the dog or doing dishes.
Return for the First Round of Editing
Once you’ve had some time to let the content or copy percolate in your thoughts return to it and begin the cleanup process. Begin formalizing the structure. Add and delete ideas. Flesh out your thoughts and make sure that there aren’t any inconsistencies or questions. Re-work the material for clarity and structure.
The Second, and Third, Round of Editing
On the second round of editing you’ll begin looking for mechanical repairs. You’ll fix questionable grammar and spelling. You’ll shorten sentences to make them clearer. You’ll begin highlighting the keywords and underlining major concepts and ideas. In short, your piece will begin to resemble the final piece you’re going to publish.
The third and hopefully final round of editing involve you reading it through one more time. You may want to read the material aloud. This can help you catch errors and clarity issues. Then it’s time to hit publish. You’ll likely find that this process not only creates more powerful content and copy but it also takes less time to create.

Earn Extra Income by Providing Writing Services to Online Businesses
If you have an online business in which you are hoping to earn passive income, it can take awhile. It's totally doable, but it's not going to happen overnight. The reason most online businesses fail isn't due to a bad idea, it's due to the entrepreneur underestimating how long it will take to make money, and how much it will cost to become profitable. Every business you start costs money to get off the ground, that's a given, but some businesses take longer in which to make a profit than others.
Why Offer Content Writing Services
A really great way to add to your income without adding an expense is to start providing a service that is needed, that you already know how to do, and already have the equipment to accomplish. As an Internet marketer you are likely to already be writing content for yourself, or you're outsourcing it, and paying someone else to do it. No matter what, everyone who runs a business must have content.
Regardless of how you are populating your websites, blogs, and online real-estate with content, you can add the service and do it for others. Even if you outsource. Why? Because, most writers will cut their rates a bit if you are ordering more. Simply mark up by 1.5 anything you outsource, and manage the writing others do in order to add this service to your offerings. Remember to edit each project yourself to ensure that the quality is good before passing it on to the client. Even though outsourcing is a perfectly legitimate way to offer a service, your reputation depends on giving your clients topnotch content.
Alternatively, if you normally write your own content, start actually writing the content for others. If you can do it for yourself, you can do it for others. Try not to offer content in your own niche. Instead, offer content in another niche that you know you can write intelligently about without much research. In terms of content, time is money. It's important to charge not only according to page, but according to the amount of research you must do for each topic. If you take 30 minutes to write a well-written, 500 word article, charge accordingly.
Where to Offer Your Services
You can start writing for others very easily by using a service such as fiverr.com. You already have proof on your various websites that you have writing talent, use those as examples, create a price list, and then start on fiverr.com to get your foot in the door. Get on sites like WAHM.com and offer to take over-flow for other writers. It is instant money in your PayPal account when you take over-flow. Yes, the prices are low when you subcontract, but generally the writing is simple keyword rich content that takes very little time to write.
Once you have that income, you can turn around and spend it on your regular business, thus pushing your business that much faster toward profitability. Avoid temptation to spend it on other things because you must stick to your goals to advance your actual business toward profitability. It is all too easy to get sidetracked into providing services full-time, but this is not your goal. Never consider the money as anything but what it should be, money to finance your business, if you want to make your non-service based online business a success.

Online Business Outsourcing – Gaining Control by Letting Go
Most people think of outsourcing as something “Big Business” does, taking all our jobs “off shore”. However, even a solo entrepreneur can’t do everything themselves. Oftentimes people who work from home running and Internet business have a hard time letting go because they feel like they’re losing control. The truth is, by outsourcing various tasks of your business, you actually gain more control. You will gain control of your time, which will enable you to do more for your business and your family.
What is Outsourcing?
Outsourcing is different form hiring an employee. With an employee, you would guide their day-to-day activities depending on what you wanted done on any given day. When you outsource to an Independent Contractors you’re actually forming a kind of partnership. You’ll give this partner the full responsibility of performing the tasks that they set up their business to perform. You must be able to develop a trusting, professional relationship with your contractors. You won’t be there to supervise every aspect of their performance like you can with an employee.
In many ways, you give the outsourced tasks over completely to your contractor — it’s theirs to perform. While you certainly want to check up occasionally to ensure that the tasks are done properly, you won’t be telling them exactly how to do it or what time to do it. You will assign a due date of course, and expectations, but you won’t tell them exactly how to do it, or give them the tools to do it, other than passwords, user names and that type of thing. This is their business so you have to let go and let them do it.
Get Help, Then Let Go!
Letting go can be frightening, but think about the fact that other business owners who have bricks and mortar businesses let go and let their employees do their jobs. They let cashiers do the job of a cashier, they let their bookkeepers do their bookkeeping job, their secretary does what he or she does, and so forth. A good business manager does not micro manage every aspect of each job, instead, a good business manager will let employees or contractors know what the expectations are, invite the person to ask questions, and then let them do their job.
By letting go in this manner when you outsource, you will be able to grow your business that much faster because you will be able to concentrate on tasks that earn money, rather than tasks that must be done but simply take up your time. The important thing is that you maximize your efficiencies and let other businesses maximize theirs. In other words, you do what you’re good at and let your contractors do what they’re good at. If you are doing more of your core business activities, you’re going to automatically earn more money.
When you start earning more money, you’ll naturally gain more control. In that way you are going to gain more control by letting go and outsourcing tasks that you don’t want to do, can’t do well, or that are non-money making activities that just have to be done such as posting articles on an article marketing site, or updating your webpage, or handling customer service issues. There are so many different aspects of your business that can be outsourced successfully. However, it will be up to you to decide what those tasks are.

Syptoms of Scoliosis and Possible Dangers
The causes of scoliosis still aren’t that clear to many. It is a common problem that affects around 5% of children and around 2% to 3% of the general population.
Scoliosis is a lifetime spinal condition that is caused by the spine being “off center” and growing sideways. This results in the curving of the spine the shape of a “C” or “S” and causing back pain.
It is common for doctors to diagnose scoliosis as “idiopathic,” which means the cause is not known and treatment can be difficult.
It has been a mysterious disease for the past decades and thought of as a hard problem to treat. There is still no definitive cure for scoliosis but what we have learned is that the best way to reduce symptoms and stop it from progressing is to address the underlying cause of the condition.
The normal procedures for treatment are bracing techniques, anti-inflammatory drugs and spinal fusion surgery.
These procedures can help ease pain and symptoms but they come with risks and don’t address the root cause of the problem.
Some natural treatments have given a 10% to 30% improvement for patients within several months. This includes chiropractic adjustments and using focused spinal exercises.
The most important benefit from these treatments is the prevention of the spinal curvature to progress further and prevent surgeries.
Syptoms Of Scoliosis
– Back pain( 90% of patients report pain which is the primary concern for them)
– A shoulder blade is higher than the other
– The body leans toward one side
– A hip looks raised compared to the other
– The waistline looks uneven
– The head is off center above the shoulders and is not directly above the pelvis
– The spine is growing to the side and developing an “S” or “C” shaped curve
– The loss of balance
– Lower lung volume
– Fast aging of spinal discs
– Sensations or numbness in fingers, limbs and toes
– Stress and anxiety in children and teens
youtube
Risk Factors and Complications
– It is the top spinal problem that affects school aged children. Diagnosis usually occur between the ages 10 to 15 years old.
– Reports have indicated that 80% of patients get an idiopathic diagnosis. This leaves many patients and their families feeling disappointed and uncertain about the future. Natural treatments have been proven to help and make a big impact.
– Causes are still unknown but factors that contribute to the condition include: birth defects, spinal injuries and problems with muscle and nerve functions
– Patients are given three options: use bracing, undergo surgery or wait and see the progression of the spine. All options pose risks for patients.
– Every year scoliosis patients visit 600,000 times to private doctors clinics. Around 30,000 children are put into spinal braces, while 38,000 have spinal fusion surgery.
– Complications happen when muscles and tissues of the body become deformed by months or years of abnormal twisting and bending of the spine. These can continue even after surgery or bracing.
– Many cases continue to progress even after skeletal maturity. Studies have found an average progression of 2.4 degress per year over a five year period. In adolescents, the average is 10 degrees after 22 years.
– Scoliosis can affect posture, quality of sleep, cause pain, and reduce the chance for exercise and live normally. Constant X-rays also raise the risk of complications due to radiation exposure.
There are three things that seem to work well for majority of the patients:
eating a healthy diet
getting chiropractic care
doing targeter spinal exercises
A minor spinal curvature may worsen into spine twists which causes the rib cage to be misaligned. If a patient has a curve greater than 30 degress, the chances of progression is high going all the way to 60 degrees in curvature.
In this situations, complications like respiratory problems and abnormal breathing occurs.
Symptoms of Scoliosis and Possible Dangers
The causes of scoliosis still aren’t that clear to many. It is a common problem that affects around 5% of children and approximately 2% to 3% of the general population.
Severe symptoms occur when the curvature of the spine is off by more than 10 degrees.
Patients with scoliosis have a 14-year reduction in life expectancy due to the strain on their heart and reduced supply of oxygen to the body. Related conditions are lung impairments, digestive problems, headaches, chronic disease, hip, knee and leg pains.

– Every year scoliosis patients visit 600,000 times to private doctors clinics. Around 30,000 children are put into spinal braces, while 38,000 have spinal fusion surgery.
– Complications happen when muscles and tissues of the body become deformed by months or years of abnormal twisting and bending of the spine. These can continue even after surgery or bracing.
– Many cases continue to progress even after skeletal maturity. Studies have found an average progression of 2.4 degress per year over a five year period. In adolescents, the average is 10 degrees after 22 years.
– Scoliosis can affect posture, quality of sleep, cause pain, and reduce the chance for exercise and live normally. Constant X-rays also raise the risk of complications due to radiation exposure.
There are three things that seem to work well for majority of the patients:
eating a healthy diet
getting chiropractic care
doing targeter spinal exercises
A minor spinal curvature may worsen into spine twists which causes the rib cage to be misaligned. If a patient has a curve greater than 30 degress, the chances of progression is high going all the way to 60 degrees in curvature.
In this situations, complications like respiratory problems and abnormal breathing occurs.
Symptoms of Scoliosis and Possible Dangers
The causes of scoliosis still aren’t that clear to many. It is a common problem that affects around 5% of children and approximately 2% to 3% of the general population.
Severe symptoms occur when the curvature of the spine is off by more than 10 degrees.
Patients with scoliosis have a 14-year reduction in life expectancy due to the strain on their heart and reduced supply of oxygen to the body. Related conditions are lung impairments, digestive problems, headaches, chronic disease, hip, knee and leg pains.

Syptoms of Scoliosis and Possible Dangers
The causes of scoliosis still aren’t that clear to many. It is a common problem that affects around 5% of children and around 2% to 3% of the general population.
Scoliosis is a lifetime spinal condition that is caused by the spine being “off center” and growing sideways. This results in the curving of the spine the shape of a “C” or “S” and causing back pain.
It is common for doctors to diagnose scoliosis as “idiopathic,” which means the cause is not known and treatment can be difficult.
It has been a mysterious disease for the past decades and thought of as a hard problem to treat. There is still no definitive cure for scoliosis but what we have learned is that the best way to reduce symptoms and stop it from progressing is to address the underlying cause of the condition.
The normal procedures for treatment are bracing techniques, anti-inflammatory drugs and spinal fusion surgery.
These procedures can help ease pain and symptoms but they come with risks and don’t address the root cause of the problem.
Some natural treatments have given a 10% to 30% improvement for patients within several months. This includes chiropractic adjustments and using focused spinal exercises.
The most important benefit from these treatments is the prevention of the spinal curvature to progress further and prevent surgeries.
Syptoms Of Scoliosis
– Back pain( 90% of patients report pain which is the primary concern for them)
– A shoulder blade is higher than the other
– The body leans toward one side
– A hip looks raised compared to the other
– The waistline looks uneven
– The head is off center above the shoulders and is not directly above the pelvis
– The spine is growing to the side and developing an “S” or “C” shaped curve
– The loss of balance
– Lower lung volume
– Fast aging of spinal discs
– Sensations or numbness in fingers, limbs and toes
– Stress and anxiety in children and teens
youtube
Risk Factors and Complications
– It is the top spinal problem that affects school aged children. Diagnosis usually occur between the ages 10 to 15 years old.
– Reports have indicated that 80% of patients get an idiopathic diagnosis. This leaves many patients and their families feeling disappointed and uncertain about the future. Natural treatments have been proven to help and make a big impact.
– Causes are still unknown but factors that contribute to the condition include: birth defects, spinal injuries and problems with muscle and nerve functions
– Patients are given three options: use bracing, undergo surgery or wait and see the progression of the spine. All options pose risks for patients.
– Every year scoliosis patients visit 600,000 times to private doctors clinics. Around 30,000 children are put into spinal braces, while 38,000 have spinal fusion surgery.
