Steve Jobs explains the rules for Success !

You need a lot of passion for what you're doing because its so hard. Without passion, any rational person would give up. So if you're not having fun doing it, if you dont absolutely love it, you're going to give up. And that's what happens to most people, actually. If you look at the ones that ended up being successful in the eyes of society, often times it's the ones who love what they do - so... they could persevere when it got really tough. And the ones that didn't love it, quit. Because theyre sane, right? Who would put up with this stuff if you don't love it? So its a lot of hard work and its a lot of worrying constantly. If you dont love it, youre going to fail. Steve Jobs Apple Visionary: 1955-2011

SUCCESS IS ON YOUR HORIZON

You can start at anytime if you want to be successful. But you have to start.You won't accomplish anything if you wait for all the possible objections to be overcome. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.Don't be afraid to live. Don't wait for things to change. Don't wait until you have more time, until you are less tired, until you get promotion, until you settle down, until, until...

Don't wait for a major event in your life to occur before you begin to live. Begin where you are. Work where you are. The hour you are wasting now , dreaming of some far off success, is crowded with tremendous possibilities. When you take the first step, your mind mobilize all its its forces to assist you. Once you have started, all that is within and around yoyou will come to your assistance.

The only way to start down the road to success is to start-Diane DoBucki

Phases in business life cycle

Pre Start-up
During the inception phase in the entrepreneurial, the individual becomes motivated to start a business (in many instances, this motivation are more a response to push factors – by necessity – than pull factors such as profit seeking or achieving independence). This may involve identifying business opportunities and ideas, preparing the ground work for the venture as well as doing some form of business planning.
Start-up
This phase involves the final decision-making process to establish the enterprise. The entrepreneur has to find access to or organise a range of resources such as capital, human resources, technology, raw materials, etc. In addition, the entrepreneur has to decide on the most appropriate organisational form for organising the enterprise resources. The start-up phase typically last between 6 – 9 months.
Early Development
The first three years after the establishment of the enterprise is generally referred to as the early development phase in the entrepreneurial phase. This period is critical to the survival of the enterprise. The entrepreneur needs to confront key challenges such as overcoming barriers to survival, demonstrating business management capabilities and entering the market.
Growth
From around the 3rd year the enterprise typically enters its growth phase.

THE ACTION PLAN-DAY 1
Finding a Niche

What is a niche-It is a smaller more targeted group of a certain market-Example : dog-training
Sub Niche-smaller group of the larger niche that has specific need, Example : "dog barking " training

• First find a market that spends money, then find out what they want and give it to them.
• There should be demand for a product
• You want to offer something that people actually needs, something that will make their lives better and help them solve a problem.

WHERE DO WE FIND BUYERS

Before we get into details , note that there are generally two kinds of buyers :

1 .Desparate buyers-they have a problem and they need solution for it,
example :people who are in pain, it can be due to a certain desease,
or people facing financial crisis (impending foreclosure)
2 .Passionate (or rabid buyers)-they are people who buy everything on a
    particular topic,example:home and garden, food and cooking, golf.

This is what you must do to find those buyers

• Read several newspapers everyday, watch the news, listen to radio
• Check out the hottest trends at  :Google hot trends
• The Lycos Top 50 is another site, like google's hot trends where you will review the latest trends and lok for hot topics to explore further.

NOTE :E bay puts a PDF Report of their hottest categories each month

• Amazon is a great place to see what currently exists for any given sub -niche. Chances are the more books there are written on that subjects, the more that market spends on those topics. Look for a book that is ranked 20,000 or higher.

By now you should have an idea of which niche you want to target, It is now time to determine its profitability-KEYWORD RESEARCH-You cannot proceed without executing the following step, It is the most important step in building your business.

The Fastest and Easiest Way to Profit Online

Find a niche !

You have probably heard this before, but it is true. The easiest way to get started is to write down the things you enjoy the most, e.g gardening, cooking,fishing. Break them into smaller sub-niches, e.g cooking-african cuisine,italian, healthy cooking.
My advice is to select a "problem" niche, e.g acne, eczema e.t.c.This are the kind of "problem"niches you must find
1.Problems that keep people awake at night
2.Problems that drive people to search for solutions
3.Problems that people are willing to pay for to solve....

The next step is to do keyword research based on your chosen niche-this is the most important step. You can use a free tool-WORDTRACKER.

Wordtracker gives 100 keywords for the chosen topic,but it will also give an estimate on how many times those keywords are searched for everyday.
Happy niche hunting.

I will be providing you with more resources to help you find your niche.

So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?

You have to ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into.

Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued. .

How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.

What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.

Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.

Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.

Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.

These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.

The step by step success formula is coming soon....

I started with internet marketing 3 years ago. By then I knew nothing. All I know is that I lost over $2000 dollars due to scams and some useless ebooks. I met my mentors about a year ago, Derek Gehl, Perry Marshall. They took me by handand showed me step by step how to earn my first income online. I am forever grateful to them for my success today.
