Book Review - The One Minute Millionaire

The One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth
by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen

This book is a two in one book...

One side of each page is like any typical financial self help type of book BUT the other side of the page is a story of how someone is using the things learned in the book to become rich. It's a very cool concept.

The story part of the book is about a woman that needs to become a millionaire as fast as she can because her life is falling apart. She meets a woman that helps teach her how to become rich. I can't remember how long I think 2 or 3 months is all the time she has and she does it by using two main projects.

She builds a small real estate empire and flips some houses. I love the idea of real estate because you build income two ways. Passive income from rent and capital gains when the market goes up. So you can sell with it's worth more or use you extra equity to buy another property. Even if the housing market stays level or goes low you still make the money from rent.

The other main way for her to make money was to sell a product online! This is a book that got me really interested in online marketing. They made a great product with the help of woman that teaches her about becoming rich. Then she gets a guy to help her build a fully automated website to sell the product. They rent an e-mail list with millions of e-mails on it to send their ad to and in a few minutes they make a pile of money!

This is a good book and I plan to re-read it shortly! You have to read and learn all the time if you want to get into the money making get rich mind set!

I give this a 4.5 out of 5!

Find out more about this great book at Amazon!

Have a great day!

3 Rules to Building Any Online Business

3 Rules to Building Any Online Business
By Ian The Tailgate Marketer Hopfe

This info is good for any online business or program you may be a part of or thinking of joining/starting.

1) If you market something make sure you paid for it first.

People always hate hearing this first rule because they want to make money online for free and that is just not possible you will have to spend some money. How can people take you seriously and trust you if YOU don't even use your own product, service or program. Pay the fees, upgrade your account, and work the system that governs your product, services, or program.

You must build credibility, build trust, and spend money to make money. Most importantly about this is that YOU will know your product, service, or program is real and works because you don't want to find out you have been marketing a scam.

2) Generate as much traffic to your website as you can.

Some of this traffic you can build for free but free traffic is not targeted traffic and you will need a lot more of it to get the same results. Other traffic will cost you a lot of money to generate but it may make you broke in a very short time if it's not quality targeted traffic. Still some traffic will be relatively cheap but take months or longer before it builds. You will need to work on all three types to get the right formula needed to sell your product, service, or program. The main ways of generating traffic are:

Search Engine Paid-per-click (PPC)– This is paying for ads on search engines like Google.

Article Writing and Submitting – These are short 500 word articles written by you about your product, service, program, or anything you want that have info about you and links to your website. You will submit these to article databases, other websites, and e-zines so they have free content.

Traffic Exchanges (TE , Paid to click PTC, Paid to read PTR)– These are free websites were you get paid a few cents to visit other peoples website. Traffic Exchanges attract a lot of people trying get free info and make free money. You will pay to have other people visit your site at up to ten of these websites.

Viral Marketing – This is when you write an original e-book and you have links in the e-book directing people back to your website. Normally, this would be a free giveaway to get people to join your e-mail list.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – This is more technical and it entails having plenty of relevant content on your website not just links to other website (you programs), HTML Meta tags on your webpages that have proper keywords and descriptions, webpages that have proper HTML titles, a lot of traffic, AND links from important/high rated websites to your website.

Forum Posting – Now this isn't just posting random links to your products this is quality participation in the forum. Find a free forum dedicated to the topic of your marketing program and participate on a long term basis. As you help people for free giving advice and making friends you make sure you have a link to your marketing website in your signature file. Every time you make a post you gain trust and people will start clicking your links.

3) Teach the people who buy or join your product, service, or program...AKA List Building and Follow ups.

These people trusted you enough to spend money on you so the least you can do is respect them for that. If you have a program were you recruit people under you in a downline then teach them about the business AND teach them these 3 rules! If the person only bought a product or service off of you follow up with them to make sure they are happy. In both cases make sure they are on your personal marketing list! Building your double-opt-in list is the backbone of building long term continual one time sales and residual income online. If you can you should be driving people to your list before you even try to sell them anything. So if they don't like your product, service, or program then you can still send them e-mails in the future about new things you are trying to market.

You will need to setup an e-mail autoresponder where they signup to your list, their e-mail is verified, you may send them something for free (maybe an e-book), then they get directed to a page of your choice. Send them to your marketing website and if they buy something off of you have them redirected to another one of your marketing websites with a higher priced product, service, or program. Setup your autoresponder to send them a new e-mail every few days giving them free info and links to more of your products, services, or programs.

You can even give them side deals like you will pay them $5 to join a program were you will make $20 of what they buy. When your list is hundreds or thousands of people long you could send out one e-mail to sell a product and make hundreds of dollars in a few minutes! Don't over use your list 1 or 2 e-mails a week is a lot, you don't want people to opt-out because you're e-mailing them 10 times a day. When your list gets large you could start selling ad space on your weekly e-mail to make even more extra money.

To help attract people to your list you should market your product but you can also give something away in your first e-mail to them after joining your list. Write an article or e-book about your product or service and excite them about getting free stuff!

If you don't have anything of your own to give away right now I give you permission to giveaway, reprint, or e-mail this article as long as you give credit where credit is do and do not alter it in any way. It is my belief that the honest person will always win in the end so I'm trusting you to do the right thing. Help me, help you become rich!

SFI can work for you!!!!

Hi All,

I remember my days as an Amway Distributor...I was really good a showing “The Plan” and I was always excited about the business. I traveled around showing to friends, family, and people I only met. But the excitement I had for the business only lasted for about a year because no one would join!

I showed them how to build the business and even offered to show the plan for people till they learned it or someone below them learned how to do it.Amway was easy...buy about $50-$100 per month of product for yourself that you needed anyway (or go door to door selling) and get your friends to join. For some reason people though I was lying to them about the potential of the business and would always say things like “When you start making money then we will join”. Crazy...how could I make money if everyone wanted to see me make money first!?!

Now fast forward 10 years!

I'm now trying to build an SFI business online. I don't have to bother my friends and family and I don't have to buy as much product or services. I have the entire Internet to market to and I have the freedom to market just about any way I please! The basic principals are about the same...buy about $30 to $50 per month for myself (or generate sales online or even do door to door selling) and sign up other like minded people on the Internet to join up and do what I do!

Sounds simple and a sure thing, right?

I find myself in the same place...almost!

I have over 400 people signed up under me right now as free members but only a small few are building the business. Seems like no matter what I say people will not build the SFI business!

I'm sorry to say but if a business opportunity is real you WILL have to put ongoing money to support your business! Seems like everyone on the Internet is looking for the free money mot the good money!

SFI is an easy business to build!

1)Sign up as a free member and buy or sell some product or service to become a paid member

2)Start recruiting free members under you by just about any way you want online or off line

3)Teach each free member these 3 steps!

Can you imagine how much money I would be making if all 400 free members under me would start building the business! In SFI each basic paid member under you is worth about $8 per month as long as they buy or sell a small amount of product or services each month. If someone under you sells a lot of product or signs up their own paid members then that $8 grows!

So...400 x $8 = $3,200us per month!

At my current job I make half that per month! Could I quit my job? Could I travel more? Could a buy a big house and fancy cars?

You bet!

And so can you!!!!!!!

Have a great day!
