2016 Countdown; My 10 Biggest Lessons From 2015


In a few hours, we would say goodbye to 2015 and welcome to 2016....Thanking God for life..
I have 10 Lessons I learnt in the Year 2015


1. No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement.

2. Give others the privilege to explain themselves.

3. What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.
Continue to read

4. Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.

5. Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.

6. Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.

7. Those who apologizes first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.

8. Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.

9. Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.

10. Those who take out time to chat with you, does not mean they are jobless or less busy, but they know the importance of keeping in touch.

One day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had.
Share yours with me............

The right to complain.





    Take a close look at the picture above. Is it me or does the whole write up have a way of making you look at people who complain about what they don't have regardless of already having a little or a whole lot, with a distasteful look? It also happens to you right? It's like there is this little guy in our head that takes control the moment these kind of write ups surface on any social media we belong to. It takes control of our brains and helps us spot out people to lay the judgement it already programmed in our heads for us. To an extent that voice in our head is actually right. I mean a person that has all those things that are listed above has no right to complain about what so ever it is he/she is going through right? such a person should instead keep quiet and settle for what he/she has right?.....well this is where I disagree. I think people who have roofs over their head have a right to complain and ask for a light bulb to go with it. Why? well let me break it down a little more for you...




You see, from where I stand, I believe with everything in me that gratitude for what you have is the foundation of success. I really do honestly and totally believe in that concept but at the same time I do not believe that we shouldn't complain....wait, sorry, let me rephrase that...I do not believe that people who have a couple of good things going on for them should be relaxed and satisfied with having/managing just that which they have, simply because someone somewhere isn't opportuned to have the same luxury. I frown against complaining but I frown more against settling for the least. In your head right now you are like, "who said they should settle for the least?, the message only said they should be grateful". Well yeah but as humans we find a way to interpret messages into what we want them to be.

You see as humans, we are naturally lazy. I have experienced this first hand from a couple of people. Maybe it's in our genes or our biological makeup dating back to the prehistorical era but it's definitely in us. That is why we keep researching technology that will help us do things to achieve more while putting very little effort. That is the reason why most of us settle for the less that we can be.That is the reason we search for excuses in every aspect of our life from spoken words to written advice to justify our desire to be more and more inactive with each passing day. We know how to give ourselves excuses so that we don't get to exert ourselves more that we would wish to. Some of these excuses come as upfront verbal excuses and some of them come to us in the manner of these write ups like the one above. Worst part is, the person who wrote this most likely wrote it to encourage gratitude but somewhere in our heads we manage to twist it to look like what we want it to look like, an excuse to not put in more effort and achieve more. What I find funny is that we then take that advice we have given ourselves, we relax more, refuse to put in more effort and at the end expect someone else to come pull us out of the miserable life we have created for ourselves. When we find out that there is no one to pull us out we turn to blaming every and anyone around us. Well,  if you do that then you should know that you are blaming everybody that isn't to blame. If you are looking for where to point your fingers then you should purchase a mirror if you don't have one.

Now I know some of you might be frowning right now and getting ready to attack me but let me ask you all a question. If no one ever works harder than they need to, if we all decide to appreciate and settle for the things we have already then who gets to cater for those who do not have anything at all? Is it from the little that you "settle" for that you are going to take out of and give to the homeless? Are you really going to starve yourself to feed those who do not have any to eat? Before you answer yes to that, think within yourself how many times you have actually done that....let me guess? Your answer was still "yes" but the truthful voice in your mind is screaming a loud resounding "No"...yeah I guessed as much!

Trust me, giving yourself the excuse of "gratitude" simply so you don't get to put in work and grow isn't going to help you and sure as hell wouldn't help those who have nothing out of the situation they are in. I know that I sound like I am judging you right now but the truth is that I used to think this same way but along the line I had to change my view of things. It wasn't something that happened overnight, it was something that grew with time. I remember that music as usual was one of my inspiration. You see I learnt something from a line in the lyrics of one of the greatest rappers of all time. In the song "Died in your arms tonight". It was in his second verse where he (Jay-Z) said...

  " And I cant help the poor if I'm one of them, So I got rich and gave back, to me that's the win win".

I had heard this line a lot of times from listening to that song repetitively. On the day I made sense of it, I was actually paying attention to the lyrics and trying to relate them to real life situations and it struck me like a lightning bolt.  You see all those people out there who you are already richer than? That 75% of the world? Well it is up to the 25% to help them out. However how are you going to help someone out of the gutter if you are in the gutter or if any attempt to help them out is going to get you into the gutter yourself? That makes no sense and helps no one. That was the day I made up my mind, to stop giving excuses and start working hard in order to help people (who are willing to be helped) out of their situations.

So do you see it now? Settling for the least just as that picture above suggest or should I say just as your mind reads that picture isn't about to help anybody. It is that sort of mind state that got half of that 25% into the situation they are in today. If you do not change that mentality,you are going to end up just like them. By all means, be grateful for what you have but do not settle for it. Always motivate yourself to keep moving ahead, keep trying to grow in all aspects of your life. When you make it to the top, remain grateful then turn around and show those people what it takes and what they have to do to come out of their situation.

If you have the simple comforts of life, by all means, please be grateful that you have all that you have but do not for one second allow pictures and write ups like the one above to limit you. You deserve a whole lot more, you just have to get up and work for it!

useful Tips for Dressing for Success in the Workplace




Are you frustrated with the way that your clients, supervisors, or coworkers view you at work? If are, you may be interested in making a few changes. If you are looking to improve your professionalism at work, you may want to take steps to dress for success.

When it comes to dressing for success in the workplace, your first thought may be to go right out and start shopping. Of course, this is your decision to make, but, before doing so, there are a number of points that you may want to take into consideration. A few of those points are outlined below for your convenience.

Before you start shopping for professional dress clothes, namely those ideal for the workplace, you will want to take time to review your company’s dress code policy. In today’s society, many companies have starting imposing rules and restrictions, concerning what employees can and cannot wear to work. To save yourself time, money, and embarrassment, it advised that you examine your company’s dress code before you deicide to go on a shopping spree.

You may also want to examine what is currently being worn in your workplace. Examining your coworkers and bosses is a great way to get an ideal of what is fashionable in the workplace, as well as what is not. If you are interested in dressing for success to make yourself stand apart from everyone else, you may want to go one step higher. With that in mind, it is advised that you display caution when doing so, as you do not want to unintentionally “ruffle,” any feathers.

Using your best judgment, when shopping for dress for success clothes for work, is another important point to remember. You should know your office, your coworkers, and your supervisors quite well. Although you should not necessarily worry about what others think of you and your appearance, especially just your coworkers, it is common for us to be concerned with talk and gossip. That is just something that you will want to take into consideration, when dressing for success in the workplace.

Should you decide that you would like to dress for success in the workplace, it is important to remember that you have a number of different options. In addition to buying new clothes, you can also buy used clothes. Many do not realize that some individuals only wear elegant or formal clothes once or twice before selling them to consignment shops or donating them to local thrift stores. If you are carefully with where you shop and what you buy, you may be surprised with what you are able to find for sale locally, in terms of used clothing.

In addition to shopping for work clothes locally, you may also want to do so online. Online shopping is nice, as it much easier to find deals and discounts than it is to do so locally. You may also find retailers that offer you discounts for making multiple purchases. These multiple purchase discounts are great if you are looking to buy matching accessories to go along with your new dress for success clothes.

The above mentioned points are just a few of the points that you will want to take into consideration, when looking to dress for success in the workplace. As a reminder, it is best if you use your best judgment, as it is a good guide when determining what you should or should wear to work to make a good, professional impression.

Mistakes you should never make in Affiliate Marketing


Affiliate marketing gives you the opportunity to make money online automatically, once you have setup your website successfully. It is considered to be a very simple and a very easy way to earn a good income with affiliate marketing. But it is not as easy as it is thought. Not all persons entering in this field become successful affiliate marketers. Those who are lucky enough to get real success in this business are few.

Here we will discuss the three major mistakes of affiliate marketers that usually make their business collapse. This will help you in earning a steady income. If you will avoid these mistakes then you can sit back and enjoy your steady and monthly “free” income.

In affiliate marketing, you get your commissions for promoting products and services of a merchant. It is the Merchant who is bound to pay you the sales commission. The duty of the affiliate marketer is to promote the products of the merchant. The merchant is the investor, who pays commissions to the affiliate marketers, when any of his products are sold.

Now take a look at these fatal mistakes of affiliate marketers:

1. Don’t send your prospects directly to an affiliate website

Don’t send your prospect directly to the website without offering any free benefit to the visitor because there is a possibility that the consumer will not like the product and close the website without even buying a single product. Now you have lost this consumer forever because it is obvious that the next time he will choose to visit another site.

If you want your visitors to visit the website again and again, offer them some kind of free benefit like free gifts, software or e-books. You can send them a free newsletter or weekly horoscope at their email address. If you are successful in grabbing their email address, then you can send them advertisements on their email address on a regular basis too.

2. Don’t Create a Website Full of affiliate links, flashy banners and Ads

If your website is full of affiliate links, lots of flashy banners and other advertisements then your visitor may become confused and he may simply leave your website. People like to see the clear and easy to understand websites. Just put an honest product review to get the visitor’s attention.

Try to put text ads instead of flashy and graphical ads. Researches have proved that text links are more successful than flashy banners. People like to see what they want and not the fancy graphics. Also the load time of simple websites is much faster in comparison to full graphics, loaded websites. People like to visit the sites that opens in seconds. So be simple and be focused.

3. Commission theft

Commission theft is one of the biggest drawbacks in this field. Although, it is not possible to eliminate it completely, you can use some tricks to minimize it. Cloaking and redirecting of affiliate links are the options for you in this situation.

Usually the affiliate links contain the affiliate id of affiliates at the end of merchant website’s URL. An example is:

http://www.website.com?aff_id=your_affiliate_id

This is not a good style. Any person can easily drop your “aff_id” part from the above link and can visit the merchant website to make sales. In this case the sales are made but you are not credited. The solution of this problem is “cloaking”. After cloaking your affiliate link will be like:

http://www.website.com/affiliate_site

Conclusion

In conclusion, an affiliate marketer should try to avoid the common fatal mistakes to become successful in this field. Always try to collect the email addresses of your website visitors by offering them some free gifts like newsletters etc. Then use their email addresses to start your advertisement campaigns.

Try to design your website really simple and easy to understand for the visitors. People don’t like the fancy graphics when they are searching for something to buy. And don’t forget to cloak your affiliate links to get the maximum benefit. By avoiding these main mistakes you can start earning sooner.

Top up Your Skills Through Online Computer Training




Information Technology (IT) professionals require training to stay proficient in their occupational field. More often than not, not only training is required, but constant refreshing with up-to-date materials is essential. With the ever-expanding world of computers this can not be over-stated or over-emphasized. Just as other professionals in other fields run into a dilemma with time constraints, so do IT professionals.

More and more there IT pro’s look online for their computer training; whether it be for an upgraded skill or a new one. The manner of obtaining this new or upgraded skill online is a relatively simple process. A Google search for online computer training in the desired field will return numerous results. Computer training institutions have long recognized the need for online training. At first online computer training was a niche market filled by few institutions, but as the demand grew so did the number of these service providers.

Before registering for an online computer training course, due diligence on the part of the prospective student should be accomplished. A quick check of the credentials of one of these institutions is relatively easy. A Google search for accredited online computer training schools will provide a good and viable starting point. While this may seem to be a common sense move, there are those who have failed to diligently research this area. These persons have been duped, or even completely scammed out of their education dollars by less than reputable ‘learning’ institutions. Fortunately, nowadays there are checks and balances in place for reducing the possibilities of fraud. In some cases, financial institutions and government lenders require proof of accreditation before releasing funds to any learning institution. Even more firm requirements are placed on online ‘learning’ institution

Some of these online computer training schools purport to teach in two weeks what normally requires a month to accomplish. They promise twenty-four hour support through 800 numbers an email. In this manner they provide computer training mentorship with a trained IT professional. As in many other endeavors, the worth of this has a direct correlation to what you put into it.

Whether you are looking to for a new certification or to upgrade, it is a relatively simple task to accomplish through online computer training. These online courses are often structured to provide the student the opportunity for self-paced instruction. The self-paced portion of instruction has more than helped in the growth in popularity of such online computer training pursuits. Generally, through self-paced instruction require a minimal time for completion as opposed to a maximum. What this means is that to obtain 14 hours training in a requisite skill, the student is prevented from completing it in anything less than 14 hours, thereby maintaining the integrity of the certification. Another aspect of this type of training is in progress tracking. The student’s progress is saved along with other pertinent data. In that manner, the student may stop at any given point and pick-up where they left off from later on.

All tolled, whether sharpening a skill or obtaining a new skill through online computer training is a viable and relatively simple process.

How to Create a Solid Facebook Advert Copy

Do you  want to create solid Facebook ad copy that both works and get’s quickly approved. Here are some things you can do to make that happen now.

#1 Write a Clear and Concise Message
When you write your Facebook ad, make sure that your message answers a minimum of one of these questions:

* What is the ad about
* Who is the ad about
* What does the ad want one to do

For example, let’s say your ad’s goal is to bring about brand XX awareness for your company XYZ that sells lets say shoes. If the ad answered ‘who is the ad about,’ once you read the ad you would know that the brand is XX for company XYZ. It also answers what the ad is about  shoes.

The message the ad sense is clear. If a customer was interested in shoes they’d know that’s what you sell.

#2 Create a Strong Call to Action
When you are putting your Facebook ad together, it is essential that you include a strong call to action (CTA). Some examples of a call to action include ‘click here,’ ‘buy now,’ or ‘book today.’ Your call to action will need to be short if you are running a Facebook sidebar ad. If you are running a Facebook Suggested Post ad that appears in the newsfeed you are able to write a longer call to action since there is no restriction of characters.

#3 Have a Friend or Family Check Your Copy
This is especially important if you are new to writing Facebook ad copy, but remains a good idea always. If you want to know if your ad is making sense, then ask a friend or family member to read it. Ask them what they thing about the ad, what the message of the ad is and whether they feel they should act. If you do not get the answers you are looking for, then you should go back to the drawing board and redesign your ad once more.

If you have trouble creating good ads that have a strong call to action there are many resources out there that are able to help you with your ad design. The Facebook help is also a good resource to help you get a better idea about the do’s and don’ts of your Facebook ads in order to enjoy the highest return.

For example, let’s say you sell recharge cards on your site, then you could look to link with other sites that sell recharge cards or related products like mobile phones, phone accessories, etc.

You can build two way links that include the other site providing you with a link while you provide them with a link. You should never link to sites that are inferior or low quality as this will threaten your own ranking in the search engines.

You can link back on forums and blogs that are related to your site. Find communities that are in your niche market, create a user profile, enter your site information and then start to make quality posts. This will bring you free traffic to your site.

You should also directly contact other sites that are related to your niche. If you can get these companies to link to your website through a blog post or how to article it will significantly increase traffic to your site.

Finally, take the time to create an RSS feed, which will allow your articles to easily link to a number of different places. Submit the RSS feed to numerous related directories and give your traffic a direct boost.

Linking is a powerful tool that when used ethically can increase your traffic and your placement in the search engines.

How to Generate consistent Passive Income with Articles writing




Are you new to writing articles online for pay? If you are, you may love the projects that you receive and the upfront payments that you get for those projects. Yes, writing articles for upfront payments is nice, but did you know that you can also use articles as a way to generate passive income?

If you weren’t already aware, passive income is occasionally referred to as the gift that just keeps on giving. Why? Because you earn money over an extend period of time. When writing for upfront payment for a client who is seeking unique content for their website, you typically receive one lump sum payment. Yes, this payment is nice, but how would you like to be earning money on an article that you wrote a year ago?

As for how you can start generating passive income, you have a number of different options. Before reviewing these options, it is important to focus on the word “generating.” Yes, you can earn money overtime, but you may not start seeing huge profits right away. The money will start coming in soon, but it may take a couple of months or more.

One of the best ways to create passive income with your articles is to create your own specialty website. This website should have a theme that is either a popular subject or one that interests you. For example, do you home school your children? If so, you can create a website that shares tips with other home schooling parents. These tips and other information will be shared through your written articles, which will be displayed on your website. The same will be said for blogs, but readers often require updated content, sometimes on a daily basis.

As for how you generate passive income through a website or blog, you do so through advertisements. One program that comes highly rated and recommend is Google AdSense. With this program, you generate income each time that a reader clicks on your advertisements. There are also affiliate programs, where retailers give you banners to post on your website, alongside your articles. Each time your website or blog generates a sale, you receive a percentage of that sale.

If you opt to receive passive income by way of your own niche website or blog, you need to make sure that readers find you. Unfortunately, you may face a lot of competition online. The good news is that you can write more articles to do so. Since article writing is your specialty, this isn’t hard. Write unique articles and submit them to online article directories. Be sure to include a link to your website. You may be surprised how many readers follow that link. The more visitors your website or blog receives, the better your changes are for getting your advertisements clicked on.

Although creating your own content filled website is one of the best ways to generate passive income, as you are in control at all times, there is an easier approach. That approach involves finding revenue sharing websites. These are content filled websites, but they rely on professional writers to compose it. In exchange, you may receive a percentage of the revenue generated from your articles or you may receive an already agreed upon bonus. If you cannot afford the cost of web-hosting, which is needed to start your own website, this is a great approach.

As for how you can find these revenue sharing websites, perform a standard internet search online. Also, many online communities are devoted to writing articles online. If you are not already a member, join. Members of these communities often share moneymaking opportunities they came across online, revenue sharing websites included.

As stated above, passive income can be generated a number of different ways. With that said, if you rely on article writing to make a living, it may be best to spice up your writing. Find upfront paying clients or paid submission websites online and work on generating passive income in your spare time. In all honesty, you cannot go wrong with this approach.

Don’t Try to be Steve Jobs- Discover Your Own Unique Strengths and Abilities



As much as we love a business visionary like, Steve Jobs—and we love him to pieces—we are not Steve Jobs, and never could be. Nor should we. All leaders have their own unique talents, which they will use in different ways to bring out the best in themselves and others.
Here are 5 ways to discover your own strongest qualities and put them to work in business and in life.
  1. Don’t compare yourself with others—but do approach people who inspire, and even intimidate, you.  Are there people in your life who wow or even intimidate you? Are you jealous of them? Go up and introduce yourself, allow yourself to be a part of their lives, and even offer to contribute to their milieu if you are so inclined. Consider aligning yourself with people you feel competitive toward—it’s a new world and we have much to learn from each other
  2. Don’t concentrate on weaknesses, concentrate on your strengths. First, find out what your strengths are. Go online and take a Briggs Meyers test, an Enneagram test, or buy the Gallup Strengths Finder 2.0 book. Self-understanding and self-support is key. Working on one’s weaknesses only brings misery and self-doubt. Concentrating on your strengths brings a better sense of fulfillment and forward progress.
  3. Eliminate your weaknesses by partnering with others.  Albert Einstein was initially a failure who leaned heavily on his wife. Many now believe she ultimately helped him devise his famous equation. Let’s be honest: He was a dreamer with his head in the clouds (and thank goodness he was). He came to success in roundabout ways. His wife kept her head on straight and together they accomplished greatness. That is the value of having a partner and team, varieties of perspectives, talents, and skills to get the job done. How is your team? Do you have someone’s back? Do they have yours? Are there complimentary skill sets involved? If you have people who believe in you, you can go far together. Whether it’s a mentor, employee, or co-worker, get their back and let them get yours.
  4. Use failure as motivation.  Things aren’t always going to go your way, no matter how well you and your teams properly align with your goals. Sometimes we need a good kick to get us going. Sometimes we need the pain of failure to reset, revise, and reassess. Are you taking risks? Are you failing? If so, good going.
  5. Co-create, cooperate, and co-lead.  Innovation requires flexible teams who cooperate, co-lead, and co-create. Mr. Jobs was a hierarchical leader in a time of radical shift from singular creative to co-creative. Over time, he learned what he was best at and how to use his skills, talents, teams, and life lessons. He then built and empowered teams of people around him who were able to help him execute his vision.

What is your Business idea, and how can it be turned into a business?


what is your big business idea 

Sometimes we have an idea that can be turned into a business idea, but how do you turn an idea in your head into a business which can make you some money?
As with all ideas, it requires some planning and strategies to turn the idea into something that would actually work for you as a business model.

It's important that you think through all aspects of your Big Idea (your business idea). Whether you want to be a pop-star or a hairdresser, there's a lot of benefit from going through each element of your business concept before putting it into action. Time spent now in being critical and cynical about your idea will pay dividends later, as it means you go down fewer blind alleys (not literally, of course).
Writing down these ideas will help, you to understand what you are trying to do, it will show any gaps in your skills and experiences, areas of the business which needs more thought, research and planning. Below is a task which you can do to help you pick out any weaknesses with your business idea.

BUSINESS CONCEPT
How did you come up with the idea in the first place?

What skills have you got that are perfect for making your idea work?

What skills do you think you may need to learn or improve over the course of the next few months?

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS

What are the three main things you will need to achieve to make your idea work and be profitable?

SWOT ANALYSIS
Big & small businesses regularly benefit from revisiting why they are doing what they are doing - if they're any good at it, what they need to improve, and what lies around the corner... Complete the following  sections with your own assessment of your idea:

S is for Strengths
(what are you good at?)

W for weaknesses
(what are you bad at?)

O is for Opportunities
 (what can you take advantage of?)

T is for Threats
(What is the competition?)

By now you should have a better idea of your own strengths and that of the business. Knowing what your weaknesses are will allow you to develop those skills or buy the skills in, you could do this by employing someone, ask family and friends with those skills to help you out.

Useful Idea/Tips for Office Management



Are you an office manager who is looking to improve your office management skills or the approaches that you take? If you are, you will want to continue reading on. Office management can be demanding, but there are a number of tips that you can use to your advantage. These tips, a few of which are outlined below, can help you become a better office manager, if properly implemented.

TIME MANAGEMENT

One of the many ways that you can go about becoming a better office manager is by staying well aware of your time. Time management is an important component of office management. Office managers are known for having long and large tasks lists. To accomplish each of your daily and weekly activities before their deadlines, you will need to have a good sense of time. Regularly missing deadlines or running behind schedule is not good for your company or your office as a whole and it may also put your job at risk.

FOCUS ON TASK AT HAND

In keeping with making sure that your time is well managed, it is also important that you stay focused and on task at all times. It is common for office workers to become preoccupied with internet surfing, emails, bathroom breaks, coffee breaks, or even smoking breaks. Of course, you deserve a break every now and then, but it is important that you do not abuse your power. Not only will this result in you looking unprofessional as an office manager, but it may also jeopardize your job or your ability to meet deadlines.

BE RESPONSIBLE


Another one of the many ways that you can go about being a better office manager is by staying aware of those who you are responsible for. Although office management jobs do vary, many office managers are responsible for overseeing other office staff members. If management is one of your job responsibilities, you will want to make sure that you know who you are supposed to manage. It is advised that you introduce yourself to all new employees or all office members if you are a new hire. Not only should you know everyone who is under your supervision, but they should also know who you are and what your role in the company is.

Although it is advised that you introduce yourself to all office workers or other staff members that you are responsible for supervising, it is important that you proceed with caution. Office managers and other managers need to remember that there is a line that should not be crossed. That line is one that involves mixing business with pleasure. It is advised that you simply introduce yourself to your employees, new or not, in a professional business matter. As an office manager, you have a responsibility to handle all office related issues, but personal issues should be left at home or discussed outside of the office.

The above mentioned office management tips are just a few of the many that office managers, namely those who are new to the field, can use to help improve their performances. In short, you are advised to use your best judgement, be professional at all times, and make sure that your time is well managed. For additional office management tips, you may want to use the internet or sign up to take an office management training course or seminar. Many are hosted by those well-known in the field of office management.

Top 5 Tips for New Businesses Marketing

 
Getting people to know your business is one of the top challenges for startup businesses, especially if you do not have any marketing background yourself. However, the principles of marketing are common sense and can get you a long way without excessive expenditure.

1. Know Yourself
Time spent on working out what makes your product or service special (its unique selling proposition) is time well spent because it helps you differentiate yourself from the competition. Clarifying your mission and values will provide you with a framework for positioning your business.

2. Know your Customers
Who is supposed to buy your product or service? Be clear about who you want to sell to. Even if your service or product theoretically could be of interest to almost everybody, pick a customer segment and start marketing to it. Once you have decided on a market segment, it will be easier to decide how to reach potential customers and which channels to focus on.

3. Set a Budget

Making a marketing plan and allocating a fixed budget can help you keep an eye on costs. It is easy to overspend; having a budget will help you focus your mind and your marketing activities. Beware of advertising scams: Unscrupulous fraudsters systematically target new businesses. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t any good at all. Don’t commit to anything over the telephone, and don’t be shy to say “no thank you”.

4. Care for Contacts
Referrals and word-of-mouth are a fantastic way to get new customers. Think about who you know who could help endorse your business. Ask for testimonials, referrals and recommendations.

5. Be Visible
A website is a must for any new business, but it can be simple and inexpensive. The three most important elements are: Your contact details, a compelling offer and an attractive design. The same applies to any other promotional material such as leaflets, flyers and posters.

Location Is Key To A Successful Business/Event


Planning a corporate or professional event depends on several factors, but there is one that is the key to success. The location of a meeting, conference or retreat is vital because it must be suitable for the type of event being held. There are several things to look for when choosing the proper venue.

Size

The number of guests will narrow down your venue choices. From a handful of employees to a giant corporate gathering, the selected venue has to have enough space for everyone. Comfortable employees will be more efficient than one that are crammed into a small space. Give your group plenty of room for private meetings, as well as a place for a large gathering.

Travel

Take into consideration where your participants are travelling from. Are they coming from down the street or are some coming from across the country. Several venues can cater to local and international guests, with some offering hotel accommodations. It is also important to consider a location close to an airport, if there will be people travelling from far away. Making it an ease to get to and from your event venue is very important.

Amenities

You want your group to be comfortable and have everything at hand to get the most out the event. What amenities will you need to make your event successful?

Most professional or corporate meeting spaces offer minimal supplies for events, such as AV equipment, tables and chairs. There are even some venues that specialize in corporate meetings, offering staffed office space and executive boardrooms. Besides certain space and furniture, don’t forget about technology. Make sure your venue has up-to-date equipment. Video conferencing and WiFi is now becoming a must when booking a business operations venue.

Some spaces offer catering services, while other have on-site restaurants and bars. This is important if your event will last a long amount of time. Also, depending on the time of day, your guests will expect some sort of refreshments. For example, if your meeting will last during lunch, the proper thing to do is to provide food.

Uniqueness

Choosing a business conference venue is no easy feat. The needs and wants of participants are quickly changing with the times. Many companies are looking for ways to make corporate events more exciting and fun. A modern twist on morale-boosting and team building has opened the door for more unique venue choices.

Call it mixing work and play. Activity venues, such as bowling alleys, bars and arcades, are offering up their spaces for corporate gatherings. The trend has even seemed to create its own genre of business. Establishments, such as the Texas-based Pinstack, offer luxury entertainment, as well as space to get down to business. Pinstack has 55,000 square feet of space, featuring luxury bowling lanes, a full-service bar and meeting space. In fact, it is so large it can hold multiple corporate events at once. It is just one of many of these types of venues popping up around the world.

Another growing trend in corporate event planning is outdoor civic venues. These outdoor spaces mix amenities, such as the latest AV equipment, with plush landscaping. These spaces also allow for flexible entertainment and food options, like food trucks. Spaces for these types of venues are abundant and some cities are renovating parks to serve this purpose. Just recently, the city of Philadelphia upgraded Dilworth Park with $55 million renovations. With space for 4,000 people, the improved park offers top-of-the-line security, Wi-Fi and projection capabilities.

Convention Center Possibilities


To accommodate the needs of businesses, many convention centers are rethinking their design. Bigger layouts with more options for groups are becoming a focal point. Rooms can be divided or combined. Sound-proof walls allow for multiple events to run at the same time. Technology is planned to run seamlessly from space to space.

An advantage to booking a convention center is the cost. It is sometimes cheaper to rent space at your local convention center than it would be to rent space at a trendy upscale event venue. Also, most convention centers are located with travelers in mind, so your guests should have plenty of hotel, travel and food accommodations at their fingertips. Despite these advantages, many corporate events want to break out of the mold and use a more unique venue. It all depends on what you want to achieve with your event.

Once a great venue is picked for your professional business meeting, conference or retreat, the rest of the planning will fall into place. A professional and reliable venue will be able to answer any questions you may have, as well as take over some of the event planning responsibilities.

Transforming Debt into Wealth



Debt is one of the biggest obstacles towards building wealth, and if you’re in debt you’ve got to eliminate it. Two steps to get out of debt fast is to get rid of your credit carts and put at least 10% of your take home income towards paying down your debt. Spending less than you earn is also a key prerequisite for debt elimination.

”Work more. Save more. Spend less. Waste less. You’ll be out of debt and on your way to building real wealth in no time. ” 
 
Wealth Creation Strategies

Here’s the best opportunity to build wealth today, and anyone can get started in  these business.

- Information Publishing

A great way to become financially independent is through starting an information publishing business.

Instead of selling physical goods like flowers or clothing, as an information publisher you sell ideas, guidance, expert advice, . These ideas can be communicated and sold in various forms, like e-books, newsletters, reports, DVDs, membership sites, seminars etc., and once you’ve finished one information product, let’s say an e-book, it’s easy to repurpose that same content and sell it as a DVD, and a membership site, and a seminar.

The easiest way to get started with Information Publishing is if you’re an expert in something that people are interested in. Being an expert is relative, and by reading just a book or two on the subject you’ll probably know more than 95% of the population. If you’re not an expert in anything you can still build wealth in this industry, but the approach might need some adjustment

Information Publishing is a great wealth creation tool because with the internet your production cost is the lowest of any industry in the world. You can sell and deliver 100,000 ebooks for the same price it costs to produce and deliver a single physical book. As you’re in the business of selling ideas and not selling books you can still charge a fairly high price for the e-book. Some people even charge more for the convenience of being able to download the book instantly.

Taking advantage of the growing ”knowledge economy” is one of the best and easiest approach to wealth building.


The Truth About Blogging



“Look, I am not telling you not to write on Medium, OK? You can give it a try. I am just saying you’ll regret it big time for not having blogged on your website. Do you know why?”

Without waiting for my answer, he opened an article on his computer and started reading the following sections out loud:

“It’s called digital sharecropping, and it means you’re building your business on someone else’s land.”

“In this case, on Medium’s land,” he added, “Medium is your landlord and it’s the same as creating content on Facebook or Google!” He was getting louder again:

“Anyone can create content on sites like Facebook, but that content effectively belongs to Facebook. The more content we create for free, the more valuable Facebook becomes. We do the work, they reap the profit. The landlord has all the control. If he decides to get rid of you, you lose your livelihood.”

I had been trying to blog for months but every time I tried to blog, I ended up doing everything except blogging.

Indeed, my blogging journey started a few years ago after discovering all those famous blogs that help you to learn how to blog. I read thousands of articles from the likes of Quicksprout, Copyblogger, Hubspot, Moz, Michael Hyatt, Kissmetrics, Chris Brogan, Problogger, etc.

5 Reasons Why the Internet Can Be Dangerous for Children and Teens


Are you the parent of a child or a teenager who wants to use the internet, if they don’t already? If so, you may have some concerns. Yes, it is typically safe for your child to use the internet to do research for school projects, but did you also know that children and teens are now using it to communicate with their friends or other internet users? This is how and when using the internet at a young age can become a problem.

As important as it is to hear that your child can find themselves in trouble online, if you do not know what internet safety steps can help to protect them, you may be looking for more information. You also may be curious as to what it is about the internet that can be so dangerous. For your convenience, five reasons why internet use can be dangerous for children and teenagers are highlighted below.

1 – False Identities Are Easy to Create

Making new friends online is easy and convenient, but it is much different than doing so in person. Why? Because you can’t see who is at the other end of the computer. The internet makes it easy for someone to be anyone else in the world. For example, if your child is using social networking websites online, they have to enter in their age. They could easily lie themselves or they could be talking to someone else who is.

2 – Internet Predators

As it was previously stated, the internet makes it easy to create a new, false identity. Often times, the individuals who lie about their ages are internet predators. They are the ones who target children, like yours. Unfortunately, many children, teenagers, and their parents cannot tell an internet predator until it is too late, like when the predators try to approach your child or contact them in person.

3 – So Many Websites To Choose From

What is nice about the internet is that you have so many websites to choose from. In fact, that is why it is a good way to research school projects. With that said, having so many websites to choose from can be dangerous. Your child can gain access to social networking websites, adult chat rooms, pornographic websites, and websites that are violent in nature. Unless you have parental controls set up, your child can easily access any type of website with a standard internet search.

4 – Not All Information Is Private

Unfortunately, many individuals, including both children and parents, do not know that the information that is posted online isn’t always private. For starters, most teens have their MySpace profiles set to public, as opposed to private. This means that anyone can view it. There are also online message boards that are indexed by the search engines. This means that others can view the conversations that were discussed, even years down the road.

5 – They Are In Control

When your child uses the internet, they are the ones who are in control. This can be okay if your child is older and mature, but you honestly never know. You may ask your child not to communicate with strangers online, give out their phone numbers, or share pictures with strangers, but that doesn’t mean that they will follow your rules. For that reason, if you do let your child use the internet, be sure to monitor their use.
