What's The Best Internet Business Opportunity?

What's the Best Internet Business Opportunity is such a great question. With so many business opportunity start ups or affiliate opportunities out there it's so hard to know what to look for or what to choose.

The internet has become very noisy and crowded with everyone being a 'guru' and knowing the 'secret way' you can make money with hardly any work.

HHHhhhhhmmmmmm!


So is it any wonder we all go through the 'learning curves' to eventually start to succeed in this internet thang. It seems that without wasting some money to learn our lessons we just keep making the wrong choices.


I know it took me A LOT of money and heart ache before I woke up to the fact I needed to learn the basics and fundementals and apply some good ole fashioned hard work in the right area's.


And after spending thousands on the next internet 'get rich quick' scheme I eventually found 2 great people who didn't rip my wallet open.


So my answer to the question what's the Best Internet Business Opportunity is.............


drum role please...............................


there's isn't one! EH??


I know I know. you think I may be crazy. Well maybe but here's my feeling.


Yes you need a good company and a good product whether physical or ideally an information product.


Yes the company would need a great track record and long history of great trading if this was an internet business opportunity you are looking at.


But here's the thing that makes the difference between a good opportunity and a bad one and it's not the opportunity itself.


It's support. It's training. It's being able to follow a blueprint of someone who has gone before you. And of course that you can trust.


So look for a good opportunity with a long standing company if you are looking for an actual internet business opportunity but make sure you join someone who you can reach easily, who is there to train and support you and whom you have gotten to know over some time on his or her email list.


Then you have a great mentor and that is what makes the Best Internet Business Opportunity.


And if you just want to get started online but funds are really tight then Challenge.co is Ed Dales incredible Free Internet training course that showed me how, and made me my 1st affiliate commissons online and started me on this successful path I now enjoy.


Its free to do just add effort baby.


Have fun

BetterNetworker - 3 tips to increase your Internet Business Income

Just added this article to Betternetworker. All about how to increase your Internet Business Income.
Definately made all the difference to my internet business I can tell ya.

3 Things To Help Increase Your Internet Business Income

You have or are about to start an internet business so think about these 3 things to help increase your Internet Business Income.

Even though the Internet is able to create wealth faster than any other medium in history most of us mere mortals had to struggle in the beginning. It's not easy to find the right mentors, the right training, keep motivated and not get side tracked with those promises of easy riches that we see splattered over the web every day.


You know the ones. "Make $15,000 while sitting in your arm chair without any previous experience blah blah blah"!!


Personally I think the days of the 'get rich quick' peddlers are soon to be gone but that's another story.


Let's assume you are in your Internet business. What 3 things can you do that can help you increase your Internet Business Income?


Well after 10 years in business 'learning experiences' (failures to you and I) and 5 years around the home business scene these are 3 key things I do that have dramatically helped my internet income.


1 - Mentor - This gets number one on my list and for good reason. The web is full of fake guru's so you have to find good mentors. Notice I said mentors and not just one. Different people for different things. 


The 2 mentors I chose are Ed Dale as he is an internet marketing god and for the fusion into the recruiting side of a home business using the Internet I chose Daegan Smith. 


These 2 guys are amazing and I learn from them both every day. Now sure it has cost money to get to these guys one via payment and one via joining his top tier business opportunity.


But the results are the same. I get advice in the area's I need it from high level successful internet entrepreneurs. This is the main difference between going from 'getting by' to creating s substantial income online.


How do you choose a good mentor? Well you get on his or her email list as you surf around looking. and see what they send out. 


Do they care as much about you using their stuff as they do selling it?

Do they give you great free training and tips to help you and build your trust.

Are they accessible? 


Feel your way and you won't go far wrong when choosing a good mentor. 


2 - Focus - Easy to get distracted with so much noise on the web. Pick a good plan to follow for your internet training and stay with that plan to see it out to successfully setting it all up. I have done it myself when I have allowed another technique to catch my attention and then I never finished setting up the plan I had set out to do.


Pick a strategy to get your started and stick with it without being side tracked. This will catapult your results and you will then totally get this point.


3 - Execute a Simple DAILY PLAN - I know this sounds so simple but it's amazing how few people online actually do this. If you are looking to build some SEO juice and get free traffic then your plan should be 30-60 minutes a day around this highly effective plan.


If you are going to kill it with PPC then have a 45 minutes action plan of utter focus on creating your ads and landing pages (not Google now since they killed us s a bit really).


At the end of a week even from just 45 minutes of focused action every day you will have achieved more than you will realise. So turn email off, Skype off, mobile (cell) off and get stuck in.


So to summarize:-

Find a Good Ethical Mentor  

Follow a Simple Plan

45 Minutes of Focused ACTION Every Single Day


And watch that Internet Business Income rise.

Coffee House Letter - Page 1 Google Again?

I had check out the Coffee House Letter article I wrote and to my surprise
it had made page 1 of Google within minutes and now has a few spots.

Thats amazing.

Do I Wish I Hadn't Written About Mike Dillards Coffee House Letter?

Mike Dillards Coffee House Letter was a turning point in my Internet business career but not for the reasons
you may think. In fact its nothing like you would think. I was petrified but what else could I do?

Mike Dillards Coffee House Letter - Angered Me! You?

You know the 1st time I wrote about Mike Dillards Coffee House Letter I ended up in the middle of a 'dogfight' on Daegan Smith's blog getting bashed up! It was the 1st time I had put my opinion about something on the internet. For a while I wished I hadn't.


Before we go on the Coffee House Letter is a sales letter written to highlight the plight of a struggling network marketer and concludes by offering a faster paying solution via a top tier business which has higher payouts than a normal MLM business.

On with the story.....


I really struggled with self confidence when I started in the MLM / IM world and I hadn't really agreed with one part of the Coffee House Letter. So I bit the bullet and decided I should write about how I felt about it and wrote on a little UK communial blog about my feeling towards the letter, Mike Dillard and Daegan Smith.


My issue had been to do with the ethics of the letter (another subject for another time) and I shared these thoughts. I was on Daegans list and an active participant in his emails at that time.


I was reading  the comments on his blog post when it had a link off for everyone to go see something and then come back with their opinion of what they see.


And what did they see?


It was my blog post.


Clearly Daegan had been alerted to a blog post with his name in it which also had my thoughts about the coffee house letter. And my thoughts were not that positive on this particular area of the letter that I had highlighted.


So when I saw Daegan was showing everyone MY BLOG POST for people to share their thoughts on about how Mike Dillard had lost my respect with the coffee house letter I was nothing short of petrified!


It was my 1st blog post!!!!! And I lacked confidence!!! And now here I was challenging the biggest name in Internet MLM and now being debated on one of the other HUGE names, Daegan Smith!


It's a good job my order from adultnappies.com (adultdipers.com) had just arrived!


How was this for a baptism of fire? Man on man I was shouting at myself "just keep your opinions to yourself". What was I going to do? How was I going to handle this one?


I decided that I needed to make sure people knew I was not judging Mike or putting him down and this was not a personal attack either. (although some on this long running thread on Daegans blog did take this stance).


I need to answer everything with dignity and keep to the point and be respectful whilst still getting my point over.


And I felt I managed this ok. Then..........Mike himself turns up! I wanted to run, right there. Just run.

So now I have to debate this issue with Mike Dillard himself and of course the potential was for this to get messy. Some folk did start to attack Mike but they soon realised that was not the point of the thread at all. It was a difference of opinion about ethics.


In truth I was so nervous throughout the whole encounter I dreaded opening up my laptop each morning for a week in case someone was attacking me on the thread. It wasn't a comfortable experience at all. But I did stand for what I believed in and I hope handled myself with respect and dignity though out the encounter. It was a HUGE lesson for me in so many ways.


It was a while back now when I 1st read the Coffee House Letter by Mike Dillard back in the summer of 2007. My son was just 6  months old and I was struggling in an MLM wellness business in the UK.


I read the letter and it made a lot of sense as well as angering me in some area's. But here's the thing. It did make some very factual points, yes, it also leveraged peoples frustrations quite brilliantly into taking the actions it was designed to do. A truly brilliant piece of marketing without any question.


It also liberated so many people into a new successful life so how amazing is that? But I imagine it also angered many too. And as per my article on Daegan Smiths 2 Emails a day strategy, you know when you are truly succeeding when as many people love you as don't.


So my little coffee house letter excursion ended up being a big lesson in what you put out there and also the biggest test I had ever faced. So early in my IM career.


Do I regret putting it out there? No.


I learnt so much from that experience its incredible. It took me about 4 notches up in my confidence as I knew I could deal with being criticised without losing my composure. It took me leaps forward in my business and my approach to building a real internet business.


And even though I still have the same opinion as it was then I have so much respect for anyone who achieves great things just as Mike Dillard has. In fact  if our paths ever crossed I would be delighted to say hi and have a beer.


My journey has been amazing and without that early terrifying event wonder if I would be this far along the path today.


Who knows. But I am grateful for that encounter to this very day.


Here's how to work with Jay Roberts in  a Real Internet Business.

Daegan Smith 2 Emails A Day - Page 1 Google In 5 Minutes

So I wrote this blog post about Daegan Smith 2 emails a day and this video is the result.

Pretty amazing really. 

Deagan Smith, 2 Emails a Day & Bob Monkhouse?

Now if you are in the home business arena you will probably have heard of Daegan Smith and his 2 emails a day strategy. Well he is a very successful internet network marketer in the USA. I started to get to know him a while back now and have a real respect for him. But let's get back to subject.


Going back to 2010 Deagan suggested I email my list twice a day.


"Twice" I said? -  "Yes" he replied.


I say "hhhmmmmmmmmmm, Not sure Daegy baby. This could be trouble".


But seeing as he has the minerals (uk expression made famous in the Brit flick "Snatch" - meaning he is not scared to take action), I thought I would give it a whirl.


So I set off to email my little UK list at the time an email in the morning and an email in the afternoon. I had already built up some relationship with them so was a little wary of such a strategy but I did it anyway.


And a funny thing happened.


The more I emailed the more I got abused BUT the more I sold! Crazy!


OK Jay, that's fine but what has Bob Monkhouse got to do with it and who the heck is he?


Hold up sunshine and I will tell ya.


Bob Monkhouse is a famous UK comedian who died some years ago now. He was also the 'game show host' king in the UK for many many years. In the mid 70's he was at the height of his fame on TV and the comedy circuit.


Now he happened to top the 2 polls in the UK at that time.


He was the most popular celebrity in the UK whilst at the same time being the most hated man in Britain??!!


How is this even possible and what has it got to do with 2 emails a day?


Simples!


The 2 emails a day got me more un-subscribes than I had ever had before whilst at the same time getting me more sales than I had ever made before.


To push yourself out there, to be yourself, to email more will force people to make a choice to either love you or hate you.


And when this happens you get a following or a tribe if you will. Bob Monkhouse was everywhere you looked during the 70's and so people were forced to choose - Love or Hate?


This gave Bob an incredible career spanning 50 years before his untimely death due to cancer. So to me as I look at Deagans 2 emails a day suggestion and what actually happened to my business and awareness from carrying out this trial I know for sure that to 'make it' in this world we have to be prepared to do what most would be too scared to do.


Now I can't say I still email twice a day but I do email virtually every day and I share whatever is true for me to share.


And when I see a lot of un-subscribes from an email I sent I know that I just created a lot of love for me too!

What Are Some Of The Various Online Business Systems?

Do you want to start up your own internet business and be your own boss? There are several online business models out there to help you, but you must make your choice carefully as this is your only key to success. There are basically five online business systems to choose from. If you wish to be counted among the top and successful Internet businesses, you must follow the business models that have worked earlier.



Whether you wish to sell products through online retail shop or earn money through affiliate marketing, there are actually several Internet business systems that you can follow. Here are some popular online business ideas for you:


Start your own blog:



When you have an online business, you must aim to create a strong presence in the web. If you do not want to invest into creating your own website, you can always start a free blog hosted by Wordpress. You can start publishing posts in the blog related to your products and services. As more and more people follow your blog, soon your online presence will become strong.

In case you wish to create a Wordpress blog on your own domain, then you will need to buy a domain and get the wordpress plug-in. You may either do it yourself or get someone outsourced to do this for you.



Create an online store:



The most common of all online business systems is to create an online retail store on the Internet and sell products and services through it. There are also several hosts that allow you to set up an online store absolutely free of cost. For example, you can easily create a Yahoo store and set up all that you require, however this service will cost you something.



Create information products:


By information products I mean sales letters and enable you to sell an eBook or other online products to your target customers. If you have something that people want to buy, you can actually create a step by step process and sell the product through it. You can join any of the popular affiliate networks such as Clickbank that helps you sell your products on a commission basis.



Build a website for free:


Among all the online business systems discussed, building a free website to promote your products or service is one thing that I do not consider to be very practical. The reason being, the hosting company may at any time decide not to offer free hosting service any more. Furthermore, you will not have much control over your website.



The above mentioned online business systems are just some of the various ways through which you can promote your products and services and reach out to the target market. Internet has truly brought the world together and shrunk the global market into your computer screen. You can now sit at the comfort of your home, and through the online business systems promote your products and services across the globe. The breaking of boundaries by the Internet revolution has indeed brought about new opportunities and market for the entrepreneurs.

Which Is The Best Internet Business Schools?

Real world experiences speak louder than certificates and degrees. However, there is nothing denying the fact going to a professional business school really helps at times. It grooms you as an entrepreneur, and helps you develop qualities like decision making, marketing skills, financial analysis and strategy making. So, if you are thinking of starting your own online business, then getting a degree from a reputed Internet Business school may (but not necessarily) give you an added advantage.



Where to find the best Internet Business schools?



If you look up in the Internet, you will find several online business schools that offer to teach you business tips and ideas through Internet. Almost all the renowned business schools offer a bachelor's level of online business degree. This bachelor’s degree provides students with an in-depth general introduction of business. The students can choose from the specific areas related to business.



The students are allowed to choose from subjects ranging from human resources management, business law, marketing management and statistics for managers. After the completion of the online degree, you will be conferred with a certificate. Having a bachelor’s or master’s degree in business administration can help you greatly in setting up your own business.


The above mentioned method is how you get online education, but gaining from real world experiences is another thing altogether. Some of the best learning comes not from books but from real life experiences. So, if you have an idol or you aspire to be like some successful Internet marketer, you can start by following his ideals and strategies. This is among the best online business schools that you can attend.



Start following a Successful Internet Business Owner closely and pay attention to all his decisions and moves. You can also get into someone’s email list to get an idea about what they write in those emails. You can also check out the sales letters written by great Internet marketers. This will give you a clear idea about what works and what doesn’t in the real world.


If you can get the contact of some successful business owners, call them and find out if they are willing to teach you for a fee. You can join their business as a trainee and learn from them personally. This real experience gained from training under a successful business owner is the best education that you can receive.



You will develop the qualities of a real businessman which includes sharpness, patience, awareness, quick decision making and knowing when to make the right moves. This will set you apart from the herd of people who try to become successful entrepreneurs but fail.



When you apply the real world experiences in business, you are bound to succeed. So, what I would just is that if you are a budding entrepreneur or a beginner, first get an online degree from any renowned institute. After you are armed with the business management degree, you can join as a trainee under a successful business owner. Learning from the way the real business owners’ work will give you a real insight into the market and gain a rich experience.

Travel Business Opportunities – Which One Should I Be Choosing?

For those who want to run an online business but have very few skills then there are always the possibility of running a travel business and learning the internet skills needed. As you will discover when you carry out a little more research there are plenty of Travel Business Opportunities online to be had and for many of them you don’t need extensive knowledge or a background in travel.

As well as providing with the opportunity to visit destinations across the globe for a fraction of the price you can also make some good money for selling travel to others.    There are many cases where arranging travel has resulted in the hundreds of dollars on the sales they complete.   Plus as the customers they are helping are more than happy with the service that is being provided being so personal they will tend to come back time and time again.

Before you waste your time setting up a website in order to sell travel you should be looking at just what kinds of travel business opportunities are currently available.   This will turn out to prove effective in ensuring that you don’t waste not only your own money but also your time in setting your business up.

In order for you to succeed of course you need to be able to sell what it is you have to offer plus of course making sure that you generate alot of leads in order to make those sales.   So the first thing that you need to ask the person who is offering travel business opportunities is how they generate leads as that's what they will teach you. If they intend to make you cold call or email people then of course the chances of you making that all important sale are reduced especially if you have very little knowledge about travel.

Therefore companies like this should be avoided as much as possible unless you have previous experience of selling in the travel industry.   Instead look for people who offer you training on marketing relating to matters concerning tourism.   Plus who will provide you with the requisite training on marketing online.

Of course along with seeing what sort of training these travel business opportunities are offering look at what fees they charge and also what levels of commission they pay.   What you don’t want to find yourself doing is paying out a large sum of money to see little or no return.

When it comes to determining which of the various opportunities available for running a travel business is right for you contact any current representatives that the company may have.   If the company is unwilling to provide you with such information to you then pass this opportunity over.   In all likelihood the business is one that would rather have your money than help you to create a successful business for yourself.

Although investment will be required when it comes to travel business opportunities if you intend to run yours from home this will be very small compared to setting up an actual shop.   To run such a business initially all that is required will be vacation product, a computer and of course a good internet connection.Then as your business grows so you can consider investing more in it.
