Why should I start an online business?

online business

If you’re wondering “Why should I start an online business?”, over the next few posts I’m going to reveal the benefits of working online as well as various methods to get started.

Starting an online business sounds like an intriguing idea, even if it seems like a mysterious undertaking for most. But is it something that the average person would actually be wise to consider doing, or is it just for the geeks and superpreneurs among us?

It may surprise you to discover that starting an online business is relatively easy for the ordinary person, and for some very sound reasons.

Firstly, in terms of economics the ‘world of work’ is undergoing dramatic and irreversible changes these days.

Up until a generation ago, although technology might replace an individual human job (such as a switchboard operator), it also enabled a firm to scale up and grow, resulting in an increased need for employees overall.  In other words, technological advances increased the productivity of the workers, but it did not eliminate whole sectors of the workforce.

Today, however, things have changed.

Automation has truly made many traditional occupations entirely redundant, and sometimes retraining for new work opportunities is impossible. Higher education is also changing towards an online delivery model in place of face-to-face teaching. In view of these trends, starting an online business is a smart way to hedge against future corporate downsizing and lay-offs.

Another obvious benefit of starting an internet business is to cash in on the swing towards online shopping, and away from traditional consumer purchasing behavior. And of course it’s not just about shopping – so much of people’s lives and communication relies on the internet that, as a marketer, getting online means getting in front of your audience in the most effective way possible.

As an entrepreneur, the decision to shape your business using an online platform is one that will minimise the usual risks of starting up. For example, the capital needed to get to operational stage with an online business can be as little as about $200, compared to the huge conventional costs of retail shopfitting, signage, purchasing inventory, leasing and other brick-and-mortar expenditure.

A ‘virtual’ business can be almost free of overheads, as well as avoiding many of the other structural limitations that go with physical stores. You can literally run your online business from anywhere in the world, using a laptop and internet connection.

Running an online business is a flexible sideline that almost anyone can learn to do.

Successful online businesses have generated liberating levels of income for people of every age bracket, background and academic achievement, and can be begun while still working or studying fulltime.

In light of today’s social and commercial trends, and in order to generate your dream lifestyle in the future, starting an online business is your quickest route to financial freedom.

How to reach for your dreams

reach for your dreams

Today I want to show you how to reach for your dreams…

…and turn them into reality.

First, I have a couple of questions for you…

What are your goals in life? Have you ever thought about what it is that you want to achieve before you die?

Most probably you only thought about these things when you were young. You had plenty of dreams, then, about what you would do and how your life would turn out.

So, what happened? What has stopped you reaching for those dreams? Have your ideas changed or have you just settled for what you’ve got?

You see, part of becoming older is that we tend to accept what life has given us. And we don’t give a thought to what we dreamed about doing when we were young.

But what if you don’t like your life the way it is now? What if you are starting to think that your life should have turned out better than it has?

It’s time to turn to your dreams again. But, this time, make them more than just dreams – make them goals.

There’s a distinct difference between dreaming about what your life might be like and working towards a goal.

Dreams are but fantasies; as we get older we tend to consider our dream lifestyle as some sort of fantasy that can never be achieved.

You stop trying to reach for your dreams simply because you don’t believe you can reach that far

That’s simply because you haven’t made them real in your own mind. Everything remains a dream unless you make a move to turn it into reality.

So, today, I’m encouraging you to turn your dreams into goals. And the way to do this is to start thinking about what you really want out of life.

It’s too easy to say ‘I want to be rich’ or ‘I want to have an easier life’. Those dreams are too amorphous to ever become real.

Instead of saying ‘I want to be rich’ think about what riches would bring you.

What would you do if you were rich? Would you spend a lot of money on a house, or a car, or travel all the time? Or would invest it in giving your family and loved ones a better life with more opportunities?

Instead of saying ‘I want an easier life’, think about what that means.

Does it mean you want to give up your job and live the ‘laptop lifestyle’, running your online business from wherever you want to be? Or do you just want to retire early, confident in your online business bringing in the income you need to travel and visit friends and family?

It’s time to start putting these ideas down somewhere that you will see them every day. Create a vision board next to your computer or work desk so that it always acts as a reminder of the goals you are working towards. Or do what I do and put images and notes on your computer desktop so they are always in front of you.

The point of all this is to keep your goals constantly in your mind so that you actively work towards them. Dreams will stay dreams if you think that they will, somehow, magically come true.

Goals are real and can be reached as long as you take the steps to move towards them. In the next post I’ll show you how to start taking those steps.

Solo Ad Success Formula Review

Solo Ad Success Formula

What is the Solo Ad Success Formula?

Put simply, the Solo Ad Success Formula is the easiest and most straightforward way of getting visitors to your website.

So, if it is so simple, why do we need a formula?

Because, like a lot of aspects of life, people tend to overcomplicate simple things. And that over complication makes them approach Solo Ads in the wrong way.

The Solo Ad Success Formula puts that right. It shows you the straightforward way to get targeted traffic to your blog or website or squeeze page and then turn those visitors into customers.

As simple as that.

Of course you have to understand that, by themselves, Solo Ads are a complete waste of time and money. I should know; I have literally spent thousands of dollars on Solo Ads and received virtually nothing back.

So what makes the Solo Ad Success Formula so different?

Hello there!

 

I just wanted to kick of this blog by saying hello to you, my latest reader, because what I am focusing on, here, is success stories. And I think you can be part of that.

To an outsider my own life looks like a pretty good success story, at least from where I am right now. But what you don’t see is the background – the struggles that I’ve had to face to get there.

Frankly it is the same for everybody. Behind every success story lies a struggle. With most celebrities that struggle will be hidden, at least until they write their autobiography.

I’m sure you’ve had struggles of your own. Not everything has been plain sailing up to now. And, quite likely, you’re here because you want to find a path to success.

That’s where I can, almost certainly, help you. Because I’ve had my ups and downs, I know what it’s like to search for the one, true path – the road to success.
