Hey Guys,

Last week when I was browsing through the Warrior Special Offers in the Warrior Forum, I found a very interesting WSO listed about publishing on the Amazon Kindle. I have been noticing this trend for a long time lately about Kindle Publishing, but I never looked into it in detail. But this time I decided to at least read the sales copy and ended up buying the product.

I then researched my bit on the Amazon Kindle and it led me to some mind opening facts about self publishing on Kindle and the amount of exposure it could get you. Some of them including but not limited to are –

• The Kindle library has over 700,000 titles. Source

• For every 100 hardcover books sold, Amazon sells 143 eBooks’, including the hardcover’s not available in the eBook format. Source

• An Amazon Kindle owner buys 3.3 times more books than that they purchased before owning the Kindle. Source

• Amazon is said to have about 62% market share in the eBook market, which is growing continuously. Source

• Kindle books can be read over multiple platforms. 1 out of every 5 Kindle book buyers does not own a Kindle device. Source

This information made me really consider the option of entering the Kindle publishing arena. So I looked for more information on the internet. I also purchased about 4 WSO’s on the topic of Kindle Publishing.

The information in the WSO’s was great and I decided to do something that probably most of the buyers in the Internet Marketing arena don’t do, “Take Action.”  As I have got time available after completing John’s coaching tasks, I decided in investing the remaining time to build a Kindle publishing empire.

I think I got this training at the right time because I am yet to decide on my Niche, and so I can now find a way to link my coaching experience to my Kindle business. Maybe I could interconnect both the aspects in a way that one benefits the other. I am hoping for the best.

I would be definitely sharing my experience with the kindle publishing on this blog as well. So now rather than having a blog post each week regarding my updates with John’s coaching, I will also share my Kindle publishing updates. So maybe I think there would be about 2 -3 posts every week.

I would also like to share with you the review for the WSO’s I purchased regarding Kindle publishing. But I am considering first implementing the content in the program to see if there is any result and then sharing it on this blog. But once I have my first book published on Kindle, I sure will update the results here on this blog.

Ooh yes about my book, I just started writing my first book last night. I think I will complete the book by tomorrow or the day after. The course did have an option to outsource the process, but I feel that since this is my first go at the self publishing stuff, I’d rather go with the self writing path just to get the hang of it.

I will make a post when the book is ready to publish and when I publish it. Maybe if I understand it well, I will try to incorporate the book upload process in Kindle, in that post. So with this I sign off today, working towards achieving my internet dreams. I hope that every action you take takes you closer to yours.

Till then, Live Fully, Dream Endlessly and Work Passionately. Go for Your Dreams, and “Live The Life You Were Truly Meant To Live”.

In today’s time, businesses have crossed all the geographical borders and have gone global. The major factor that enabled this global change is advancing technology.  Few decades ago, it would have been a distant dream but now you can operate your business in countries, which are poles apart with the help of technology.

This has led to excessive use and dependency on emails as a mode of communication. E-mails are the most preferred and feasible option for overseas communication because of its cost effectiveness and being the fastest route to transfer data and information.

With the help of technology, you are all set to operate your business online. You have designed the website and the mailing list is generated to increase productivity and get more business. However, everyone is aware that technology can also lax at times. Imagine sending thousands of emails daily informing about a service or product only to discover later that many had not received your emails or they deleted considering it as spam. It quite a nightmarish situation for someone who has his entire business online. However, solution for this technological glitch is a technology again. Auto responder, an invention of advancing technology is the solution to the other technological handicap.

Auto responder is an essential marketing instrument that can’t be ignored by anyone who wants to enjoy a long stint of his online business. Auto responder, in the simplest form can be explained as a tool that sends emails automatically to your mailing list in response to any business communication like product/service inquiry, feedback, purchase, follow-up etc. It acts as an assistant who handles all your communication needs with your clients in your or without your presence. The prompt replies because of auto responders attract the attention and help to instantly connect with the customer or a prospective one. Therefore, you need not worry and have sleepless nights over missing out on clients next time you go for holiday!

You can get a get an auto-responder script by paying a fee, which you can run on your own server to save money. However, it requires great amount of time and dedicated technical expertise. Therefore, it is feasible to avail the facilities of specialized auto responder service providers as it is less complicated, effective and better managed. It is the easiest and the most convenient way. There are many auto responder service providers that you can select from that suit your nature of business. All you need to do is pay monthly charges that can range from few dollars to few hundreds of dollars depending on the quality of service and you are sorted for life!

The auto responder service providers put in lot of time and effort to make sure that the emails reach the end receiver. The service providers ensure timely maintenance and constant updating of the system along with important backup data. A good auto responder will make it certain that your emails are not regarded has spam by following high standard guidelines. The mails reach faster as they use key ISP’s. It also helps to assemble and track leads and subscribers.

You can sit and discuss important elements that you want to include in your auto response with your service provider. Things like creating an attention-grabbing subject line, keywords, informative content, intervals of messages, and theme of the campaign can be worked on and customized with the help of service provider.

People who have auto responders swear by its positive results on their business. The success stories of many internet marketers with the help of auto responders are there to see for everyone. Investing soundly in a good service provider instead of hiring an in-house programmer is a way better alternative for long run business returns.

To Your Success Online,

“The Money Is In The List”.

You might have heard this phrase from almost all Internet Marketers, and this is true. As a matter of fact it is the founding principle of making any money online. The bigger and (and the most important) the more responsive your list is, the more money will you make on a consistent basis through your online empire.

But it is easy for the big sharks in the online ocean. So how does newbie who is just getting his feet wet, start building a huge list?

I have included below the basic steps that if you just follow, you can start building your own list of subscribers. I have assumed that you have already selected a Niche and keywords, for that would be a entirely different training altogether.

Hosting and Domain:

The first thing that you need to do once you have decided your Niche and keyword is to select your Domain name. This would be something like ‘www.yourdomainname.com’. It is always advisable to have your main Keyword in your domain name which would make it easy for your customers to remember your domain and also help you get better index in search engines like Google, Yahoo, MNS.

I prefer getting your domain through 1and1.com. I have been with them for sometimes and they offer great discount on domain names. A ‘.com’ domain which is what I highly recommend would cost you around $12/year, which you may get for free if you buy your hosting from 1and1.com.

The next thing you do after getting a domain name is getting your site online. For this you need to get a web hosting plan. I would again recommend 1and1.com for the hosting as well as they have great discounts and you may get your domain free from them so you save some money over there. Your hosting plan may cost you around $7/month at the time of this writing.

Set Up Squeeze Page:

A Squeeze Page also known as an Opt-in Page is a one page website with the sole intention of ‘Squeezing’ the visitor’s name and e-mail address. This is done by offering a FREE report /e-book/audio/video as bait in exchange for the visitor’s details.

This is one part that I recommend you get outsourced. You may search for web page designers on site like Elance.com, Odesk.com where you can hire web designers to build Squeeze Page. This may cost you from $47 to $97 depending on your design.

Set Up Auto-responder:

The third most important thing in online business apart from a domain name and a hosting package is a Auto-responder. It is impossible to build a list without a Auto-responder. An Auto-responder will give you the Opt-in form that you would use in your squeeze page.

It is also the place where your entire subscriber/customer data base is saved. An auto-responder helps you to automate your entire online business by helping you pre-schedule an entire list of e-mail messages to be sent to your subscriber from time to time.

Although there are many Auto-responders available the one that I highly recommend is Aweberwhich can be found at aweber.com. It is simply the best auto-responder used by most of the top internet marketers. You can get a one month trial for only $1 after which it is $19/month.

Creating Your Giveaway Product:

This is the free product which may be a report/an e-book/an audio/a video which is not very extensive but compelling enough for the visitor to give you his/her name and e-mail address.

You can either get it done yourself or hire a ghost writer at Elance.com to write it for you. If your giveaway is a free report (which is highly recommended), you could give a report of 15 – 20 pages which should be more than enough.

Also make sure that your giveaway looks high quality and the content in it must be of great value. The easiest way is to use PLR (Private Label Rights) products with giveaway rights. You can find quality PLR products at ThePLRStore.com. You can get giveaway PLR for $4 -$9 at The PLR Store.

Generating Traffic:

Traffic is said to be the lifeblood of any internet business. Although there are many forms of FREE Traffic and PAID Traffic, for the purpose of our method we would be looking at 2 forms of FREE Traffic.

1) Article Marketing:

This is probably the oldest and the most long term traffic generating source. The idea here is to post good quality articles of 400 -500 words each to article directories such as EzineArticles.com.

This directory gets a lot of traffic from search engine with people looking for the content you have posted, thus giving you targeted visitors. Also a number of Webmasters and Bloggers looking for content online may re-use your article on their site.

The advantage for you here is you get an authors resource box, where you can add a link to your squeeze page. Also when webmaster or a blogger uses your content on their side it is mandatory for them to keep your authors resource box intact.

This means when a visitor reads your article either in the article directory or in some website where your article has been used, he can click on your link to know more about your article which leads in to your squeeze page. The key here is to keep your article compelling to read so that the visitor reads your article till the end.

Make sure that your article and your giveaway product on your squeeze page complement each other so that the reader finds a common theme in the squeeze page and the article making him interested to stay on your page. For 1000 subscribers 1 would suggest you write 1 article/day for at least 30 days.

2) Forum Marketing:

Forum Marketing is another very effective way of getting traffic to your website. The key here is to find Active forums in your Niche, become a member of the forum and star actively contributing your thoughts and ideas in the forum threads.

You need to make sure that you contribute genuinely to at least 8 – 10 threads. Most of the forums allow adding links in your signature. Make sure you join only those forums which do allow adding external link in your signature.

When a person reads your post in the thread which may be a reply to a question or something that you created as a thread, if the reader finds it interesting then he would click on your link landing on your squeeze page. Thus, generating interested and targeted visitors.

Always keep in mind, never should you Spam or add one liners like to your threads. Always give value first, the traffic will follow.

What Next:

The above methods if used consistently would very well take you having your first 1000 subscribers list. Like any business the online business also rewards people who take action and are consistent in their actions.

You need to make it a point to dedicate your complete focus on developing your online empire and with the above strategies you will be on your way to achieve your goals. Just believe in yourself and your vision for your bright future and do the right things, Success Will be Yours!

To Your Success,

Success in life is more of a result of the right mindset, than doing things. I know that this statement may seem obnoxious as many of us are told that ACTION is the key element of success; and I believe it to be very true, but action and implementation with the wrong mindset leads to only one destination – Failure!

The same is true for the Internet Marketing Business as well. Most of the people who start their Internet Business enter this industry believing that they can sit at home, press a few keys of their keyboards a few times and BANG they will become an Overnight Zillionaire! This definitely is not the belief to start your online business.

It is true that the Internet Marketing Business is the easiest business to start compared to other forms of traditional business, but success in this business needs a lot more than just making your product available on a web page online. It requires a set of right mindset and attitude.

I have listed below 7 such principles following which could lead you to a successful business online:

1) Patience and Persistence

Like any other business, your online business takes time to establish itself and reach a stage of continuous growth. There will be times when your close friends and those who you care about start questioning your sanity. There will be times when you won’t be able to see a bright future for your online business. Trust me; this has happened to every online marketer.

It is the belief in your dreams and the vision for your future that will help you overcome any such de-motivating thoughts and circumstances. You need to understand that patience and persistence is the most important quality you need to hold on to, especially in the beginning of your online career.

Be patient, believe in yourself, have a positive vision for your future and act! This is the only key to your success online.

2) Accepting Failure As A Feedback

The old saying “learn from your mistakes”, is very true in this business as well. As a beginner you most likely will come across times when a promotion strategy that you used would not give you the results you expected, or a product you released would be a total flop; but trust me this has happened to even the most successful internet marketers that you know of.

Accept every failure as a feedback and make notes of it in a journal. This way over time you would have your own success formula custom made to your style and experiences that will help you take better decisions on your future projects.

The key here is to not quit after a few initial failures and move forward towards your ultimate goal.

3) Your Past Does Not Equal Your Future

A lot of people think that in order to succeed online they need to be from a successful business background. This is definitely not true, as most of the successful online business owners had no clue about running a business when they first started. Success online depends on the Desire to Succeed coupled with the Right Action, Belief in Oneself, Persistence and the Right Mindset.

No matter what your past has been, with the above qualities, you can surely become a successful internet marketer and over time achieve your wildest dreams.

4) Focus On Quality Not Quantity

A lot of people in the online business industry believe that in order to create a successful product, they need to fluff it with lots of content to make the product look massive, which is not true. As a business person you need to brand yourself as a Trust Worthy and Quality Delivering person in the market and the above attitude won’t take you any closer to a respectable and positive branding.

Customers don’t want truck loads of crap, they need ideas and concepts which they can implement and get success at it. We as product creators need to ensure to make sure that we present those ideas and content in the most easy to understand format, also making sure we add no fluff to the content, as most people don’t like to read a lot.

Tip – Give enough to make the customer understand the concept with ease, and remove anything that deviates the focus of the customer or does not add value to the original promise that your product made in the sales letter.

5) Value First Profit Later

The sole purpose of our customer is to fill our pockets. If you live by this belief then you are not likely to go anywhere far in this industry. As an online business owner your entire focus at all times must be to provide value to your subscribers and customers. Profit comes later in the process.

The lifetime value of a single subscriber (If properly taken care of) is much more than the initial profit you make when the subscriber buys your product or service. The key is to give more value to your subscribers and customers than the amount of money they give you in return.

This will ensure that you will always have customer loyalty in the long run.

6) The Biggest Investment Is Your Time

As mentioned earlier, It is true that compared to any other traditional business, an online business needs a very low investment in terms of money. As true as the above statement is, it is also very important to know that the real investment in your online business is the amount of time you invest in your business.

You need to dedicate a few hours each day initially to get your business going. The best part of this business is that once your business starts to run consistently, you can even outsource most of the time consuming activities, which eventually leads you to having more time to spend doing things you always wanted to do.

In any case you need to invest your time consistently in the beginning to build your online empire.

7) Follow A Proven System

This is probably the most important thing to take away from this entire article. Although there is no right or wrong way of doing online business and that every person has his/her own way of doing things, it is very important that during the initial days you stick to a single proven system.

Due to excessive information available online on ‘How to Succeed Online’, it is very important to avoid getting into the trap of hopping from one product to another. A lot of people get into this trap as they buy one product, never implement it and go on to buy another product, and the cycle goes on.

To be successful online it is very important that you stick to a proven strategy and take action. This is a express speed way to reaching your online goals. The system that I personally use is John Thornhill’s Coaching Program. It has greatly helped me in my internet business. I would highly recommend it to all beginners and those struggling to make money online.

Hope you take the above 7 principles into implementation and succeed in achieving your online dreams and start living your internet lifestyle soon.

To Your Success Online,

Hey Guys,

Hope you are having an awesome time!

Today I want to let you know the reason, why this blog came into existence?

As you all know from my first post, my beginning online was not a very ideal one. I have struggled, being misled, been ripped off my hard earned money online. I was determined to make it to success online, that’s the reason I kept buying all the rehashed magic courses and software programs. Only to learn later that the strategies taught in the courses were banned by Google long back.

It was amidst this situation that I stumbled upon a 16 Week Coaching Program offered as a Warrior Special Offer (WSO) at the Warrior Forum. This program was offered by a guy named John Thornhill. Until that point I had never heard that name before.

But there was something in the sales letter that caught my attention. Amongst the names of John’s successful students were a few names that looked familiar to me. I happened to be on their list’s and I knew that these people were really successful online.

At that point something inside me pushed me to buy the coaching. I finally decided to get the coaching, thinking that this would be my last try. If this didn’t work, I would have to bury my online dream.

That one small decision today proved to be the turning point of my life.

John gave me a strong foundation to build my online empire on! I learned the basics of building a blog, the importance of being a product creator and the real steps to make real money online.

But I still could not find the time as I had other commitments to look after. This led me to delaying my journey another 4 months. But all the way long I did read john’s emails and the weekly coaching. So by the end of the 16 weeks I had the entire coaching in my inbox, but not yet implemented.

Recently when I got an email from John about the Partnership To Success Mentoring Program, I was thrilled. I finally decided to get myself committed and work on building my online business. I knew that John as a personal mentor would be like the best thing that would happen to me online.

So I decided to get the Partnership To Success Program without wasting a single minute and decided to follow John’s advice and commit myself fully into the program.

Since the partnership To success is a 52 Week coaching program, I’ve decided to keep my progress updated on this blog. This will ensure that I am accountable to my readers on this blog. Also at the same time, once I follow the 52 Weeks of John’s mentoring, this blog will leave a trail of my journey online.

I believe that if this blog helps even 1 person to move towards the right direction on his Online Journey, I will consider that my attempt with this blog will be fruitful.

So with that belief, I sign off for today. I will be back soon with my experiences with John’s Partnership To Success Mentoring Program.

Let us meet up again in this blog and eventually at a time where we would be living the life of our dreams.

Till then… Live Fully, Dream Endlessly and Work Passionately!!!

Hello world!

Welcome to my first blog….

I really am not sure if this is even something remotely close to what I had planned on doing with my life. I am unable to recollect how I ended up with the term “Internet Marketing” in my dictionary. I probable guess it was some email link that I had clicked few months back that landed me on an opportunity to make money from home, using nothing but my laptop and an internet connection.

It was since then I started finding loads of emails in my inbox every single day. I really did not know where these emails came from. The only thing I knew was that each of these mails had links which when clicked took me to a website which asked for my name and email address for a free gift. Now the kind of person I am, I love free gifts, so I ended up giving away my details on almost every page.

It is today when I look back and recollect those events that I understand the freak I was…

Fast forward about 2 months back I don’t know why I decided to pull out my card and purchase what I then thought to be a life changing deal. Only later I found out that I had something in hand that I had no clue of. But suddenly I get into this kinda frenzy when I spent almost a fortune (certainly for me back then) on eBooks, video courses, magic get a zillion $$$ software’s, etc.

It was during this time that I realized that there is huge money to be made online, and there are people that are makin a killing selling their stuff on the internet, but what I wasn’t able to make out was how do I get into the league of people making money online? How do I become a Seller rather than a Buyer?

I was in search of someone,some program, some ebook or some video that would teach me to build a real business online. Heck I was not only desperate but now I didn’t have enough time nor money to try another Zillion$ Income Plan. I also was looking out for other options and I had decided to quit and bury my internet dream.

I remember it was during one of those days when I was browsing through the Warrior Special Offers on the forum I came across a 16 week coaching program. At first glance I was sure that this was another B.S and that this was not for me. I had never heard the name of the Product creator in my 2 month old experience of Internet Marketing trial and error. But then I found the names of a few known people like Omar Martin whose list I happened to be on, and as the WSO only coasted $19 then, I decided to buy it. What I had in mind was to try it and if it was one of those crap products then ask for a refund.

It was the 16 week Personal Coaching WSO from John Thornhill. I think that was my source of light and knowledge which brought back my confidence in Internet Marketing. It was John who suggested me that I get a domain on my name, and that is where it all began.

Today I am here sharing about myself to the world through my blog. I know that this is a brand new blog and a very few people (mostly friends) are the only ones who know about this blog, but I believe in times to come this blog and its readers will grow with my online empire! I will be sharing my experiences, my successes and my failures on this blog. This is just an attempt to give back to the world my bit of experience. May be some day, somebody like me (3 weeks back) who is desperately trying to succeed online finds this blog and decides to hold on a little more to his internet dream and works in the right direction till one day it becomes a reality, like the action I am taking to move forward towards my dream. Let us meet up again in this blog and eventually at a time where we would be living the life of our dreams.

Till then… Live Fully, Dream Endlessly and Work Passionately!!!
