Cash With A True Conscience

Today was funny. Usually I have a ton of content to comment on and share before writing my 2nd blog post. Well today is different. I am caught up. So I jump into writing blog post number 2 and you know why, right? If you want to know how to make money now blogging is the best way to achieve this feat. Because creators rise above the competition. People who create persistently rarely compete in any endeavor because these individuals stand out from the crowd. You create, you get paid. But seeing this deviation in my sked and remaining nimble, you know, ready to change, marks the difference in my day compared to the old me, and many other online entrepreneurs.

I received a comment from some guy named “techworm24X7.” Since I never knew of anybody naming their son or daughter techworm24X7, I deleted the spam comment instantly. You need to be real to comment on my blog because I have built a pretty well-known, in-demand site here. I want my readers to trust my content and comments so if you are a fictitious person, or you link to any name other than your given name, you are spam, and I delete your comment. I know you might wish to hide your identity but if this is the case, you are not a real pro. You are afraid, you are fearful, and that fear repels me, so gone, whammo, into the spam folder.

Your limiting beliefs are leased; you can trade them in at any time. But most home biz leaders never expose their limiters. Too uncomfortable. Pushing yourself to new limits and past new limits means facing some serious resistance. You feel pain, you suffer and your ego takes a big ole’ hit, when you face, embrace and release false ideas which constrict your online growth. Well, welcome to being successful. If you push yourself you will be amazed at the fun, inspiring things you can achieve.

I remember the first day I was an online marketing entrepreneur. Do you remember your first experience? Mine was fun. I woke up excited to promote my home based business opportunity. Then I opened up my backoffice. I flipped out.

I know so many bloggers who desperately grab at whomever and whatever they can to become popular. I know the struggle. I have had audiences of crickets serenading me with each post and I wondered why the hell I was wasting my time blogging. I had few leads, no new team members and like 5 readers. Then I took a different approach. I decided to be honest, to speak my mind and I used a few other strategies as well to gain popularity on the blogging circuit.

My Experience

I have met people, grown my online businesses and traveled the world while I run my 3 home internet business blogs. Really, the whole concept of prospering online and traveling and living in Bali and hanging in paradise almost seems crazy to me after my circumstances from 5 years ago. I was a fired security guard who had no clue what he wanted to do with his life, and I when I hopped online to look at prospering ventures I was scared. Scared of failing, scared of writing and scared of running a home internet business because I had no clue in hell how to do any of these things. I did not know SEO from CEO, I had no idea how Google worked, or how blogging worked or how Facebook worked. All that I knew was that I wanted to succeed in making money online and becoming popular was the quickest and easiest way to reach my online goals.

How Can You Do It?

Do you want to be a popular blogger? How can you become a popular blogger? Well, check out my guest post at my good friend Amal Rafeeq’s blog if you are hungry to become a popular blogger quickly.

3 Simple Ways to Quickly Become a Popular Blogger

I accept contributions from guest authors on my blog. I started allowing guests to publish content to my website after learning websites like Kissmetrics.com were able to grow their blog to 400,000+ visitors each month publishing free content written largely by outside contributors.

The key to KISSmetrics success of course was not only that the fact they were publishing guest posts. After all, plenty of unpopular blogs do nothing but publish rehashed content written by other people. What helped KISSmetrics stand out were the extremely stringent submission guidelines that required extraordinary content to even be considered for publication.

If you’re considering allowing guest contributions on your website there are numerous benefits such as low-effort content creation and more potential traffic. But encouraging folks to submit content is only the first step. You’ll need to sort through the guest content to find the rare diamonds that are actually worth publishing on your website.

Filtering Out the Bad

To make the filtering process of sorting out guest posts faster, I’m providing my list of common clues which demonstrate the contributor will submit a worthless content 99.99% of the time. Feel free to safely ignore guest post submissions that closely resemble those described below. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and maybe even your sanity by doing so.

Poorly Written Requests

Poorly written guest posting requests come in many forms, unfortunately. Bad contributions might have bad grammar, spelling errors, the incorrect website URL, stuff like that. Other times, the email may suggest that the person has never even visited your website. The truth is they probably haven’t.

Any sort of glaring submission request that fits the description above does not receive a response from me. Why should it? If the individual hasn’t taken the time to write the words in the email correctly or learn the topic of your website, why would they have a change of heart when submitting content to your website?

Don’t Follow Instructions

Many blogs dedicate a full page of their website spelling out their guest posting guidelines. Information on this page could include anything from how to submit content (through a form, email address, or guest account), article word length, and the post topics that are generally accepted. I recommend creating such a page so writers understand how they should contact you and the style of content you’re hoping to receive.

After you have created a guideline page on your blog that’s prominently displayed, you can safely disregard emails from contributors requesting to guest post that do so incorrectly. Again, these folks have not made the effort to learn the submission process by looking at your blog first. Why would these writers go the extra mile when writing a post for you?

Not a Real Person

For the past year, discussion on internet marketing communities began to rise suggesting that author attribution is going to be an enormous factor in determining search rankings moving forward. Recently, TechCrunch confirmed these rumors by publishing the following statement made by Google chairman Eric Schmidt:

“Within search results, information tied to verified online profiles will be ranked higher than content without such verification, which will result in most users naturally clicking on the top (verified) results. The true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance.”

Button line, if you want your content to be visible within search engines in the future, you should tie that content to a real human being with active social media accounts.

If the individual that is submitting content to you does not have any social media accounts, they probably aren’t a real person and you can feel free to disregard their submission.

Bottom Line

Guest posting can do wonders for a blog in terms of popularity. You’ve just go to apply it the right way. Don’t cut corners. Focus on quality content quality from real authors and you’ll be rewarded in the long run.

OK I got a bit lazy over the past few weeks shooting videos. Maybe because I am not living in some tropical paradise, or perhaps this is because I am, well, a bit lazy hahahah. Well, if you want to know how to make money now then creating videos is one of the quicker ways to do it. You gain trust, build your brand and make a solid connection with people through this creative medium but one problem exists; most folks are beyond terrified to get in front of the camera and start yapping. I know because I was a terrified cash gifting coach over 4 years ago. Some 1100 videos later I am doing OK, and can churn out and publish a video within 5 minutes….yes, 1 take only. Because I practice, and more important I killed my fear of creating videos a long time ago, by simply trudging forward despite the negative ego chatter I had to deal with.

Analyze Your Fears

I look funny. I sound funny. I feel stupid. I have nothing to say. Nobody will listen to me, anyway. All of your self conscious stuff comes up when you first shoot a video. Trust me I know. I had to deal with the crap, too but take heart; if you deal with the stuff you can naturally deal with the stuff more gracefully in the future, until you never have to deal with the stuff again. Honest to goodness, the fears go away entirely, being replaced by faith, if you will simply proceed despite the fears. Again, if you are keen to figure out how to make money now this is the tip of tips; feel the fear and do it anyway.

Why Are You Afraid?

What fears stop you? I mean you are talking about a video camera. It cannot hurt you, right? Well, if you can fall in love with the benefits of creating videos you will eventually fall in love with creating videos. You will become a ham, an actor, someone who loves being in front of the camera and inspiring people. I know I love it; creating videos helps me express myself, and I just love the energy I can convey through a video creation versus the tougher energy shifting medium known as writing, or blogging. Do not get me wrong, I love blogging, but getting people to feel you is much easier to do through video creation.

Summary

Stop panicking you fraidy cat video crowd. Take a deep breath and dwell on the benefits of creating targeted, high energy, inspiring videos for your audience. If you can embrace the fear of creating videos and realize the tremendous good you can do by getting in front of the camera you will start shooting videos immediately. Practicing helps you embrace the self conscious energies arresting your growth. Be present and realize that you need not fear an inanimate object. You can create videos, build your brand and inspire tons of individuals around the world.

I get a little sick of people who talk only about how much money they make with their online business. I feel happy for them. I wish them success. But talking about money all day takes the focus off of providing something of immense value. Do you remember any billionaire building their venture talking about money all day long? Did Bill Gates or Steve Jobs talk about the money they made? Of course not. Because people who go beyond money, who sell an idea, who provide a world-changing product or service, because the wealthiest people on earth.

Some Money Lovers…

….become wildly successful in cash gifting or with their online business. I salute them, but I also know that setting goals beyond money builds the hundreds of millions to billion dollar ventures where the fortunes are made. This is why, although I do advertise how much money you can make with cash gifting, I never make the dollar amount the sole focus of sharing clubs. I always had a vision beyond the average successful online entrepreneur, even the guys and gals who make millions of dollars. I wish them the best and want them to prosper but I always knew there was sort of a tipping point, when you just talk about money all day long, without talking about anything else, where you stop attract the multi-millionaires and billionaires, the high rollers who can change your life with alarming speed.

Money Is Great But…

…you will never move into the highest circles talking about money all day long. You make the biggest impact – and hence, the most money – by talking about how you can change lives. You provide the product or service, you allow someone to live their dream, and you begin to attract more successful, wealthy team members, because these folks are motivated by SO MUCH MORE than simply money. I read an article on a hedge fund manager who retired at 37, when he was worth $4 billion dollars. Not once did I hear him talk about money in the interview. Now the man is giving away his fortune – or at least most of it – before the age of 40, through intensive, research-based philanthropy, to solve huge huge problems in the USA.

How He Earned His Focus

All of his attention was on doing meticulous research and learning his craft, and all of your focus, or the majority of your online business focus, should be on learning your craft inside out. The money, and much wealthier team members, who make fortunes because they are driven by things far beyond money, will show up to your team and naturally, you will prosper more mightily with your online business. This is the key; focus on a dream, something much larger than numbers, and money, and you cannot help but to become happy and among the most successful people one earth in due time.

Summary

Stop selling monetary gains alone. Focus on something bigger.

I have an astounding easy formula to generate leads. Easy to follow and simple in nature. Now, the formula is not sexy. Nope, not at all, and I feel this problem plagues even the most resolute internet home business entrepreneurs. Because people love sexy and hate simple. People love to create drama, and struggles and difficult situations for themselves and rarely follow the simple and direct course. Look at the TV. Most people watch the news. Why? To stay current? No….to see a train wreck, to see something sexy, or provocative, to complicate their lives. Wise people avoid the news to simply their lives.

No Value

You provide no value to people so you receive no value in the form of internet home business leads. Create cash gifting value receive value is the call, but if you never create blog posts or videos, or if you do not run a newsletter, why should people be interested in you? What value do you bring to their lives? How can you take the time to complain about having no leads if you are giving nothing in return? Nope, you must create massive value to become valuable to your target market.

No Relationships

If you have no relationships you have no leads. You can write 100 blog posts each day but if nobody else shares your posts you are horribly hampering your leads generating efforts. You succeed by growing your internet home business network a bit more each day. Meet more people, make more friends and you will be stunned at how easy your job becomes. No more straining and striving because 40, 50 or 200 people retweet your blog posts to their large, responsive networks. This is the easiest way to grow your list and generate more leads; simply become friends with a ton of people by helping them out daily.

No Persistence

Sticking to it makes your job a piece of cake. People respond to persistence. Quitting makes your job harder because nobody knows who you are or how you can help folks if you rarely persist. All success flows to the persistent, tenacious person. All failure flows to the quitter. I am not particularly enthused to write this post but I put on a smile and write this lovely Sunday afternoon because I see the fruits of my past persistence, and current persistence. I am heading to Costa Rica soon; how cool is that? Really cool, and the reason resides in the fact that I work daily and create good things for cash gifting prospects to consume. Yep, I benefit these folks and they show up, as do my writing clients. I create. I prosper. All because I choose to persist each day.

Summary

Create serious value to attract leads to you. Build relationships to make your job much easier. Be persistent to stand out from the internet home business crowd and you will do amazing things as an online entrepreneur. Leads will knock down your door.

I run into resistance. You run into resistance. Home internet business, money resistance, domestic resistance, we all run into it. What do you decide to do once you hit resistance? Run and hide? Or do you get angry? Or do you seek solutions. I am no Zen monk. I get angry at times. But these days I seek solutions within seconds or minutes. This is because I want to succeed and be happy. I do not want to fail and be angry. My desire to be happy and at peace and to succeed overrides my love of comfort. Are you in the same boat?

Changing Habits

I monitor my mind. I watch old habits arise. If I feel angry or agitated I slow down. I watch my emotions. I observe my energies. I wish not to anger myself any longer, because I know that panicking, or getting angry, or forcing things makes my job harder, and harder and harder. Sometimes I forget to express gratitude for where I am so I move into a low energy space where I tend to panic when resistance arises. I still have plenty of blocks, but I tend to watch the blocks, and not act on these emotions as persistently as I used to. You must change your habits in dealing with your feelings when you feel panic arise when things get tough.

Pain

Maybe you have felt the pain of being poor and react to any money situation with a panicky mindset. Or perhaps you have failed with your home internet business for years and panic when you see few opt ins or dollars generated through the home biz. I have been there, and I know getting beyond these pain points means learning how to observe these feelings instead of reacting to these energies. Is this easy? Yes, but it feels uncomfortable to observe and respond when for many years you learned to react. Reacting feels normal, even though you feel miserable, and angry, and panicky, after you get into a fight with your spouse, or run into any resistance. Experiencing pain provides you with an opportunity to overcome suffering.

Practice

Practice watching your feelings. I skipped meditating this morning but once I publish and share this post I will sit. I know the importance of reaching a space of expanded awareness. I know you must practice observing your emotions if you are to let go panicky feelings and replace the energies with calm, peaceful feelings when things get tough. You cannot immunize yourself from resistance but you can embrace energies arising from these resistant periods and release the feelings immediately. You can adopt a different perspective. The choice is yours.

You will succeed quickly online due to 3 distinct reasons. Online successes rarely take the time to even think through these steps; most people move into these acts based on their habit nature. On the flip side if you have failed online for a set amount of time you are almost always missing these critical pointers. You help, you prosper. You are selfish, or greedy, you are going to make your job that much more difficult. I know, because I was the guy who never asked for advice from smart people, or I never dove into things, or I never spent time developing my mind.

You Pick Smart People’s Brains

I spent much of the last 2 days at a wedding, or wedding related activities, and much of this time chatting with a successful LinkedIn Guru. The guy knows his stuff inside out and has a gazillion connections and a ridiculous number of endorsements. He is a pro so I picked his brain. I learn from a pro to make my job easier and grow my home based business opportunity. If I am dumb, I never learn from smarter people. I try to do it all on my own. Stupid. Nope. I am a bit beyond that because I intend to succeed more quickly each day.

You Make Personal Development a Priority

I spend 30 times daily meditating. I reach self help books and follow through on the advice offered. I rarely waste time because you can always be improving, and doing something to aid your improvement, like visualizing, meditating, expressing gratitude, whatever. Work on your mental tools and awesome results follow. Get serious about clearing your inner world and the outer world will follow with increasing ease. You must do this, making PD a priority, because change will kill you, otherwise. I am part of an awesome blog commenting group where most members complained about a big change, the other day, a change which would have saved us HOURS’ worth of time, but since most people hate change, they voted the helpful change out. Oh well, most people spend little time on PD, so they could not see the benefit.

You Dive In

You dive right into ventures. Again, taking the Facebook Group example I felt a bit uncomfortable with the change in strategy at first, but still dove in with a willing mind. This approach was orderly, efficient, and logical, and I quickly saw this because I dove in. Most group members resisted the change, never diving in, never having an open mind and never doing things from a place of acceptance. Again, I continue to save more time daily because I dive in and learn, while most other people add precious minutes to the day – like these group members – because they choose comfortable, over logical. Hey, I love these guys. No mistake, no right or wrong, just logical, and comfortable choices

Summary

Pick smart people’s brains. Make personal development a priority. Dive in.

I write with not 1 hour until a big wedding. My suit, tie and shoes sit upstairs. I write. Why? Because what else am I going to do within the hour? I mean, I can get changed in 5 minutes. Hair done – Thanks Got to Be Glued – and everything else is set. So I can sit and watch TV, or BS, or churn out a lead generating blog post. This is how I squeeze more work into the day. This is how I appear to be all over the place. Most people simply cannot understand how I do what I do, or where I can find the time, but I make the time. I churn ahead, finding little spots here or there, and since I practice like mad I can create a post within 10 to 15 minutes tops.

Home Based Business Opportunity Advice

I am not extremely talented or tremendously gifted, whatever that means. I do however make different choices than most people, which is why I am writing this blog post now. This is also why I will be hopping on a plane headed to Costa Rica in 2 weeks. I do not waste time, or at least, I rarely waste time. I just hop into my workload and squeeze what I can, when I can, into my work day. I do not make excuses. Nor do I blame people, or situations, for my lot in life, or if I cannot seem to churn out content. Nope. Wedding is coming up, so I naturally do what I need to do. Guess what? I have free time. I have a life. I travel the world. I veg. I meditate. I work on my mindset. I watch TV, or watch movies.

Having a Life

Yep, I have a life. The goal is not trying to push yourself, or to work your home based opportunity each minute of each day. This only leads to an early grave. Nope, no rewards in getting sick or dying young, because you cannot take money to the grave. But if you work intelligently, and you really dig in, and make different choices throughout the day, you can succeed. You can rock it out online, and travel, and make money online, and prosper, if you make difference choices during the day.

Take More Breaks

Taking more breaks where you just sit there, or exercise, or maybe, meditate, helps you see where you can make high energy decisions through the day. You can feel more inspired, you will feel better overall and you will grow your home based opportunity with less effort, if you are willing to feel better throughout the day and move into effective, focused acts. This can be a chore for sure because you are likely conditioned to work harder, and not smarter. You try to force your way through the day instead of working intelligently, and effective. Working smart and making little high energy decisions each hour of each day changes your life.

OK, 14 minutes later, the post is completed. Now off to the dressing, and the wedding. Later!
