Online Success - The 5 Essentials

In my opinion, no matter what online business you decide to join, there are 5 essential building blocks that you must have/utilize in order to achieve success.

Here they are (in no particular order):

1) Tenacity - The ability to say, "I am going to succeed as an internet marketer no matter what, and I am never going to give up." Tenacity is the sheer will that drives you through the hard times even when everyone else says you will fail. All of the successful people in the world have it in common - they never quit! If they had quit along the way, the would not be the successes they are today. Think about it. The only way you cannot lose is to never quit. Tenacity gets you up early in the morning and keeps you up late at night.

2) Consistency - Consistency is king in internet marketing. If you miss a week, you can lose out. A little activity every day will carry you a long way. No matter what your goals are online, consistency will take you there. You must constantly be sowing in the Spring if you expect to have a harvest in the Fall.

3) Confidence - As I have said in previous articles, insecurity will kill your online business. Show confidence in everything you do, whether it be during a webinar with your new prospects, while mentoring your downline or whatever. Remember, people are looking to join with a leader. People don't buy businesses, they buy people. So it is really YOU that you are selling. That said, don't sell yourself short. Be confident and explode your enterprise!

4) Automation - The highest goal in online business is to achieve the greatest amount of success with the least amount of effort. That is where the internet comes in. Use it to automate, automate, automate!! Your goal should be to automate more and more of your daily activities with each passing week. Determine what you can and can't automate and then get after it. Some of the biggies here are:

1) Make sure you have an email auto responder that works for you 24/7 - following up with your prospects for you.

2) Set up a capture page that collects the contact information of your prospects and actively builds your list.

5) Leverage - This one goes along with automation and it is equally as important. The internet gives us the power to do both. Use leverage to spread your content across the Web as quickly and efficiently as possible. When you create a piece of content, don't just submit it once. Instead, submit it many times over - as an article, video, press release and as a blog, and blast it to a myriad of sites. This is leverage! Remember to also:

1) Leverage the work of your downline to make you richer. Do this by training your downline to succeed. This requires a lot of your time but it is well worth it.

2) Leverage the power of outsourcing. Outsource the menial tasks that don't make sense for you to occupy yourself with. This way it's twofold - you leverage the work of others by outsourcing, and you leverage your own time by focusing only on the most important activities like producing great content and training your team.

So that's it. These are the 5 things that have helped me the most. Tenacity, consistency, confidence, automation and leverage.

Residual Income With Google AdSense

Residual income is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. As an entrepreneur and home-based business owner, I try to focus on ways to make my money and time work best work for me. Having spent several years in investment consulting prior to becoming an entrepreneur, I have a pretty good understanding of asset allocation and capital markets. But for a long time, I've neglected to discover other ways of earning residual income - and specifically, how to create residual income ONLINE! With that said, I do earn residual income through my company Platinum One Destinations, but nonetheless, I wanted to find another vehicle in addition.

So recently, I've concentrated my efforts into doing so. One of the ways I've encountered (and I am certainly not the first) is through the use of Google Adsense. For those of you not familiar with Google AdSense, basically what it is is a program that allows you to run Google advertisements on your website, in exchange for being paid for each visitor that clicks one of the ads. Simply stated, you earn money from relevant adds that Google places on your website. This is a great way to monetize whatever website you may have, such as your blog!

As stated on Wikipedia "AdSense has been particularly important for delivering advertising revenue to small sites that do not have the resources for developing advertising sales programs and salespeople." Many entrepreneurs are using Adsense as a way to make a passive income to supplement their business income.

I just wanted to pass this idea on to you, in hopes it can help you attain the passive income you've been looking for. For more insight, you can check out the main link here for Google AdSense.

As I've said in previous posts, I'm determined to help others create a lifestyle that will make them more free to enjoy the finer things in life like family, time freedom and the opportunity to travel and live anywhere in the world.

To Your Success,
Dan
