Graying Googlers
This is an inspiring and encouraging story about doing business online regardless of age.
We often year stories of the 13 year old wiz-kid who is doing some FaceBook income magic. But how often do you hear about the other end of the spectrum?

Pricing Levels
"How much should I charge for my product?"
Not as easy a question as it might sound...
1. How is it packaged? (ebook, audio, video, physical product).
2. What is available in the category right now? Make a list of competitive products and do a price model.
3. What's special about it? There's a reason the IPhone costs more than the freebie they give away with the service account.
4. Is there a demand for YOU? This is what can boost your price, your popularity. There are thousands of self-help coaches, but only Tony Robbins can charge millions.

RAW Results
Mark your calendar for December 4.
On that day I'm going to be doing an online seminar called RAW Results.
In four years my personal income has grown from $25,000 a year to over $300,000. I am going to be sharing the process behind this income transformation.

John Reese
Blog Rush (see widget to the right) was released a couple of weeks ago in Beta.
Easy to install and an auto pilot way to get traffic to your blog.
Like anything good and new people tried to treat the system or bash it.
Now here's the lesson...
Even though the widget is free John Reese went back to the drawing board to:
1. Thump the cheaters.
2. Improve the traffic system.
Too often we porduce something and leave it. It could use some improving, but we feel it will get by. Let's take a lesson from Reese and listen to the market and make changes. He didn't HAVE to, he wanted to.
That's the way to serve!

Online Prison Break
The cubical based corporate world is a virtual version of Prison Break. The hit NBC television series follows the lives of inmates who broke out of Fox River Penitentiary and are on the run.
Sure it’s just a show, but there are millions who would love to escape their cubical and work from home. Because of the low barriers to entry many people attempt to make money online. Only to get recaptured and return to the cubical because of failure.
So how can you better your chances for escape?
One: Have a Plan.
You can’t just wake up one day, walk in and quit, and start an online business. It takes planning. A blueprint. A map.
You have to know what market you will serve, the possible income from that market, and a long-term strategy for service and growth.
Two: Face the Challenges
Just like in Prison Break, plans do not go as…planned. There will be unexpected problems. People will fail you, domains will be taken, hosting will go offline. It’s just part of business.
Too many online entrepreneurs see perfection. They see the site, the email list, the sales process, the buyers, and the full bank account. They fail to see the advertising costs, setup fees, education investment and a dozen other areas that are needed to do business successfully online.
Three: Keep Running
Now in its third season the Prison Break boys (and girl) are on the run full throttle.
You can’t coast when making an escape, you have to hustle. Work hard. Push it beyond the limits.
But once again, what happens too often online? People buy into the dream of being lazy and making lots of money. From knowing many of the top online marketers, I can tell you this – they work HARD. They enjoy what they are doing so it doesn’t seem like work, but they are putting out the effort.
Are you wanting to escape from your job? Dreaming of an online business and making money from home? It’s possible, but it’s not as easy as everyone makes it out to be…
Have a plan, face the challenges and keep running if you want to make the great escape!

How to Make a Blog/Forum Post
The #1 complaint I hear with internet marketing and how to make money online is…
“I can’t get the gurus to do a deal for me.”
It’s not what to do, or how to do it, but how and who to partner with.
I’ve joked a lot with IM friends about “The Guru Shield.”
The Shield is the wall or barrier you see come up when trying to talk with someone of status in the make money online field. Often people think they are being rude or arrogant. I really don’t think it’s either.
Here’s what I think it is…
Read the average blog comment or forum post.
How many of those people would you want to meet and spend time with?
Right. Not many.
Yesterday, I was commenting on an internet marketing blog where 90% of the comments were based in ignorance, fear, skepticism or paranoia. While reading I thought about some of the writers, “I wonder if he/she has any friends?”
Not saying that to be mean. I honestly thought that.
Then it spanked me.
These are the people who attend marketing events and want a big time partnership with the gurus. They are the ones looking to build their network.
Well…
It ain’t happening.
If you are wanting to build business relationships. If you are wanting to position yourself in the make money online field then here is one component that can help…
Make forum and blog posts that count. Posts than mean something and make a contribution. Posts that entertain, educate or equip.
Answer this one question after writing your post…
“Would I want to meet me?”
If you read your post and think…
Jerk.
Whiner.
Jealous.
Arrogant.
Know-it-all.
Loser.
Idiot.
Or anything else along those lines, just hit the delete button.
No, everything cannot create intrigue, mystery and a desire to become your closest friend. And it’s fine to post general comments. But avoid anything that’s people repellent.

But that doesn't mean I don't want to save money! Now you can too...
