4 Useful Benefits of Affiliate Marketing

4 Useful Benefits of Affiliate Marketing

Many entrepreneurs are looking for different ways to make extra income, especially online. Some start by providing in-demand services or create unique products. But, one of the easier areas to get started is to start promoting products or services of another business. This is referred to as affiliate marketing and a payment is received for every successful sell through your affiliate link. While it isn't different to get started with affiliate marketing, it does require consistent effort, planning and knowledge to achieve success over the long-term and earn a significant income.


Here are a few benefits of affiliate marketing:
It requires no inventory or product development
The process of developing software can be quite cost prohibitive for entrepreneurs just starting out with a self-employed business. Also, buying enough stock to get up and running can carry the risk of losing a lot of money if the chosen products don't sell. Even though there may be the option of returning unsold items to the supplier, this is only likely to happen at a loss. Also, it is quite time and labor intensive to operate an online shop, especially if planning to ship items directly to customers. However, the entrepreneurs that choose to take the affiliate marketing route can eliminate inventory and product development concerns.
Hundreds of products or services to choose from
An affiliate has the option to choose from hundreds of different products or services to promote. This makes it easy to go with the top-selling products or work in a niche that you have a personal interest. Also, the more successful affiliate networks put together a wide range of resources and graphics to make the process of marketing the items much easier.


It is a chance to learn about online marketing
Affiliate marketing removes the need to invest in buying, handling, storing, or shipping items, so more time and money can be invested in driving traffic to a website and converting that traffic into real buyers. There is the option to try several marketing methods, such as email marketing, video product reviews, and experimenting with different landing pages. The fastest way to understand the different methods is by learning by doing, which significantly speeds the ability to see positive results.
No need to deal with actual customers
Customer service is certain to take up a lot of time for the business involved in selling merchandise. But, for those operating solely as an affiliate there is no need to have direct contact with customers and this is left to the actual product owner.

Own Your Own Online Affiliate Marketing Business

February 01, 2018 0
Own Your Own Online Affiliate Marketing Business

To own their own affiliate marketing business is the dream of many people, from all walks of life, both young and old. People who dream about owning their own business, often dream that seductive, wonderful and tantalising dream, the dream of being their own boss: the dream of becoming financially independent is so very real to them. The luxurious dream of not having to live from pay check to pay check, any longer. 


The, almost real, dream of not having to get up each morning, at some unearthly hour: for five or six days every week. Unfortunately, in reality, it will always remain a dream unless people take action.
Many people just dream about not having to go into work and face their boss, whom they just plain don't like: and, their normal routine. Their routine is usually that same old familiar, soul destroying, spirit crushing, routine; which, depending on where in the world you live, is at its worst during the winter months. It's the dreaded routine of having to get up in the morning, while it's still dark: then, when you get home at night again, finding it's still dark again. That's the routine that steadily wears you down; and, slowly but surely, kills people over the years.
Unfortunately for lots of people, who don't have any other options, this is the reality of their everyday working life, and it always will be unless they take action, and change that routine. That spirit draining, life sucking, mind numbing, everyday routine that destroys their happiness; and, sometimes, their very soul. Their routine of waking up, getting out of bed and taking a shower, of eating a hurried breakfast, gulping down a quick cup of coffee; then dashing out, maybe, in the rain or snow, to the dreaded daily commute, of maybe an hour or more in heavy traffic.
Ask yourself if your own routine of arriving at your 'j.o.b'; and, for the next eight hours, being at the beck and call of your boss, is really what you want to settle for? This, for five or six days, each and every week; and for, maybe, the next forty or fifty years: for the rest of your life, until you die? I ask this because there is a much more attractive, and much, much, more lucrative alternative: but, unless you do something about it, and take action, nothing will change!


Given the above harsh truths, it's no wonder that so many peoples' minds yearn for the freedom that owning their own online business can give them. Well, guess what, for those people who don't have a 'slave mentality'; for those who dream of living life on their own terms, and not having to answer to their boss, you can do just that. Because, with the advent of the new online digital economy, freedom is yours for the taking. Freedom now awaits people just like you.
For those who are possessed of an entrepreneurial spirit, and are willing to invest in themselves, and learn, there are now online business opportunities, such as buying and selling: or affiliate marketing, which allows people who fit the above description, to work from the comfort of their own homes. Affiliate marketing can enable you to travel; and, to be able to work from your own kitchen table, or anywhere else in the world. You can even work from the beach if you wish, (and if the weather permits.J)
Yes, there are some people who will hesitate, and start thinking about the responsibilities of owning their own business. About how they would be able to manage to do all of the different jobs that owning their own business will bring with it? I know that scares the living daylights out of a lot of timid people! There are some people who lack the courage, and tend to shy away from, even the very thought of, owning their own businesses: mostly because of all the different skills that are needed!
Those fears are ungrounded, kick them out, they should not be allowed to stop you owning your own business. The chief culprit responsible for those fears is the past mind conditioning that all of us have experienced, for most of our past lives. To give you an example of this, let's say that, if I asked you this question, 'Can you could finish this well known old saying?', "If you want something doing right, 'di dah de dah di dah'." I'll bet that you would very likely be able to give me the correct answer; because, as most of us know, we've been taught that the final words of this sentence are "do it yourself".
This saying was credited to one Charles-Guillaume Etienne, who was a 19th Century French writer. Since then, it's been passed on, over and over again; ad nauseum, by well-meaning parents, coaches, gurus and anyone else in the world who teaches self-reliance. For over two hundred years it has been gobbled up, without a second thought, and passed on by their disciples: also by their children, their followers and their minions. We've all been mind-conditioned into accepting as being the truth, the old saying that, "If you want something doing right you must do it yourself."
At best, this is suspect advice because, when you think about that saying, it's probably one of the worst pieces of advice to ever have become a universal cliché. Not least because, unless you're an absolutely superb expert at that particular, "something", that you need doing, how can you be sure that you are going to have the necessary skills that will enable you to "do it right", when you try to do it yourself?
Most human beings are highly proficient at only a handful of skills. So, for 99.999% of those "somethings", that you want doing right, isn't it better to find someone else to do it for you? Someone who really is highly qualified, and very talented, at whatever it is that you want doing: and, definitely, not to keep on slaving away, trying to doing it yourself.


In the new global digital economy there are people who earn their full time living working online, people whom you can hire to do anything you need doing. For example, let's say that you need someone to write great copy for you; or, to design and build you a highly converting web site and make sure that your site is optimized, so it will rank highly on the search engine results.
There are many hundreds of other 'somethings' that you might need doing; but, on the plus side, there are literally thousands of highly qualified experts online who are competing for our business, and who will do those 'somethings' for us: starting from as little as $5.00. So, when 'hired help' is available very cheaply, it's not very smart to try and do these things yourself. You should stick to doing the things that you really are good at.
There are some really great online, work from home businesses; which, if you are willing to work at, will enable you to make you a very good income and will give you the freedom to live life on your own terms. A life that can bring you very rich financial rewards, and will enable you to have the time to travel the world and meet new people. People who are of the same, entrepreneurial, go-ahead, mind set as you are. You don't have to do everything yourself, in fact it's not very smart to even try.
One of the misconceptions that people have about owning their own business, is that you need to have a huge amount of start-up capital in order to do it: well, a a misconception is exactly what that is, a wrong idea, a misunderstanding. Because you definitely do NOT need a huge pile of cash to get started on the pathway to owning your own business, your freedom giving, liberating and very profitable, own business: in fact, you can get started for less than $50. Nor, do you have to try doing everything yourself; there are very successful people who are willing to mentor you, to train you and, virtually, 'hold your hand, along the road to financial freedom.
It will pay handsome dividends for you to think about all the "somethings", that you may be currently struggling to do by yourself, which you should really be delegating to someone else. Just imagine, if you owned your own online business today, ask yourself, would you follow that dodgy piece of 19th century advice, "If you want something done right, do it yourself?" Just take a look at the list below.
  • Creating products to sell
  • Sourcing products to sell
  • Generating traffic 
  • Converting traffic 
  • Phone sales
  • Customer service
  • Website design
  • Business accounting
  • Tax returns
  • Staff payroll
WOW! I don't know about you, but I get the mental picture of somebody in a circus, rushing to and fro, desperately trying to keep those plates spinning around, on the tops of bamboo canes? How many people would even have the necessary skills, or the time, to efficiently handle all of the ten tasks above: very few I would imagine.
However, you can have someone do all of those things for you; and, that's what you should look for, when you think about owning your online business. That, and for the smallest possible start-up cash outlay and the ability to automate your own business, in order to free up your time, so that you can enjoy the money you're making. That's what you should be looking for, when you begin to think about owning your own online business. You should only try to learn from people who are more successful than you are; and, then you really can actually start living your dream.
Would you like, a 'Done-For-You' sales system WITHOUT ever having to pick up the phone to talk to anyone. Would you like to have personal 1-on-1 coaching with a Top Tier, very experienced, coach; (you'll have the phone number and email address of your coach.) Would you like to have access to the most effective sales funnels and best-selling products in the industry; and, a 'Done For You' fulfilment, payment processing and customer service for all of our products, You will have 'Done For You' phone sales, by a team of expert phone sales rock stars, who'll make and close all sales for you.
Would you like a 'Done For You' marketing system: so that all you have to do is place ads (which we'll give you); and, when this marketing system automatically turns them into buyers, you get paid BIG commissions. It really is that simple, all you have to do is advertise and send us leads; then, when we convert those leads into sales, you get paid!
You're at a fork in the road now; and, if you take the wrong path, on the left, and do nothing; then, tomorrow, you'll be stuck in just the same place where you're now at. You'll be living life by someone else's rules, and making money for someone else, with no hope of ever enjoying financial freedom. Here's the honest truth; you can resent the wealthy or you can join them, but only if you take the right path.
If you have the courage, you CAN take that path on the right. Here it is, below:
• The path to change...
• To a better life...
• A life full of Big Paydays...
• A life with no "money worries."

How Webinars Can Skyrocket Your Website Traffic

December 20, 2017 0
How Webinars Can Skyrocket Your Website Traffic

The average person doesn't have a website or blog of their own. Their only online activity is checking their email, looking at social media and using Google or some other search engine to search for information. So why is this relevant to you as a small online business owner?

It's relevant because you're perceived as an expert simply by owning a website. So when you host a webinar, you benefit from even a greater perception that you're an expert and a leader in your field.
And when you webinar covers some big problem in the lives of your target audience, those people don't forget who you are.
What Is A Webinar?
The term webinar is a mixture of the words "web" and "seminar". Before the internet, to hear an expert talk about a particular topic, people would have to travel to a particular place. Often these could be long distances away and involve many hours of travel for all involved. But today, with simple webinar technology, business owners large and small can conduct seminars on the internet, spending little to no money, and still reach a large audience with their message.
A Webinar Draws Visitors To Your Website
People who show up at your webinar visit your website over and over. This boosts your website traffic, and because your webinar was focused toward a very distinct issue or question, this is targeted traffic that they will be very interested in buying your products or services.


These website visitors also interact with others with the same problem or question that you sorted out or answered. This word-of-mouth promotion produces more targeted and free website traffic.
Benefits Of Hosting A Webinar
Webinars make it possible for you connect to your audience as a human being. People can see and or hear who you are. You're no longer just another online business owner. Each of the people in your webinar audience, regardless of how few or how many, feel like you're talking to them in a one-on-one conversation.
This improves your significance to these people, and drives a steady stream of website traffic to your website now and in the future.
Webinars And Collaboration 
Webinars are an effective website traffic generator that builds your brand and develops your voice of authority. Working together on a webinar with another business owner in your niche or market means you both benefit. When you publicize a forthcoming webinar to your database, your webinar partner has a opportunity to attract new clients, and you do as well.
There are a lot of reasons why webinars work better than other marketing models for boosting engagement, building your list, making sales and improving your business profile. If you're planning your first webinar or you want to improve on your last one, download this free Webinar Success Checklist to make you look like a pro: https://jonallo.com/webinarchecklist

10 Things You Didn't Know About Affiliate Marketing

December 10, 2017 0
10 Things You Didn't Know About Affiliate Marketing

Most people have heard of affiliate marketing, even if they haven't actually started doing it. Affiliate marketing is basically referring people to various products and services around the internet. For each sale you generate through your affiliate link, you earn a commission. The size of the commission depends on the products themselves, who is selling them and the percentage offered by the seller to the affiliate.
But what is actually involved in affiliate marketing? What do affiliates do on a daily basis? How do they earn money and how do they learn what to do?


1 An Example Of A Successful Website
There's several ways of marketing products and services online. Many affiliates create a blog first and sell products and services through their blog. Martin Lewis has a very successful website called moneysavingexpert.com. This is also an affiliate website. By creating content and helping people decide which service to use: which credit card offers to choose, the best interest rate etc. moneysavingexpert.com makes money by sending website visitors to various offers. If a sale is made through this website, the link this credited to it and a commission is made. By creating content, offering value and helping people make sensible choices, the website has built a reputation and become more prevalent over time. Google ranks the site highly in the search engines and thousands of people use it to make purchasing decisions every day.
2 How Can I Get Started As An Affiliate?
Affiliate marketing is huge. There are thousands of people already making their main source of income from the internet. To get started as an affiliate you need to learn some basic strategies and build various methods of generating traffic from the internet to those offers. A lot of affiliates start with a simple blog. Many travelers 'blog' about their travels. If you don't have a passion or interest to blog about, you can start by following an online course which will help. See my bio for more info on this.
3 How Long Does It Take To Make A Living?
Some people go into affiliate marketing with the intention of creating a second income. Some people want to make big money. Depending on how much time you can dedicate to your affiliate business, and how dedicated you are to it, is a big factor in determining your results. Results vary from person to person. With a large advertising budget and the right business model, some affiliates have replaced their living in 6-12 months. For others it can take years before it replaces their existing income. Depending on your approach, advertising budget, and business model, it can take between 3 months and several years to build it to a point where it can replace an existing income.


4 Can Anyone Do It?
One of the great things about affiliate marketing is that the technology is now available to allow anyone to build their own online business. As long as you are prepared to learn and implement that knowledge, anyone who can operate an email, can use online platforms and tools to build their own online business. The main thing you need is the desire to learn. Affiliate marketing isn't for everyone though. It does take a lot of hard work and it can take years before you are rewarded financially.
5 What Are The Pitfalls Of An Affiliate Business?
You need to dedicate some time to your affiliate business for it to work for the long term. Some people go into affiliate marketing thinking it is some magic pill which will pay them instantly in cash. Much like a job you can't expect to get out more than you put in. Affiliate marketing is performance related. This means you don't get paid unless you can successfully sell products and services online. If you don't know what you are doing it can take years to do this. You can't be a dabbler and expect to earn the big money. The big earnings are created over years of hard work. Don't expect to achieve this with only a small amount of input.
6 What Are The Best Things About Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing offers an incredible amount of flexibility and freedom. You can work an affiliate business from anywhere in the world providing you have a laptop and an internet connection. You can choose your own hours and build it up around existing work. Many people come into affiliate marketing because it offers this kind of flexibility. They can choose their priorities in life: spend more time with family, choose your working hours, travel and work abroad. No more commuting to work or working long hours for a boss you don't like.


Affiliate marketing also offers incredible scalability. A business which is local is always limited to the people who can travel to that business. An online business can be global. Using digital products in conjunction with a global reach, you can scale using tools and software to reach thousands of people through digital technology. By using automation much of the work involved with an online business can be pre-built. By building automation into the business model, you can focus your activities on reaching a larger audience through content creation and paid advertising.
7 Why Am I Struggling With My Affiliate Business?
A lot of people struggle with their affiliate businesses.This can be for a number of reasons. Firstly building up an affiliate business takes time. You need to dedicate a lot of time to an affiliate business in the first place. Only when you reach a 'tipping point' do you really start to see your progress. Many affiliates simply don't realise how much work is involved. They underestimate how much time they need to dedicate to their online business to make it work. 
Paid advertising can allow you to grow your affiliate business quickly. But it costs money and you need the right products too. You can't advertise small value items with paid advertising. You won't generate enough profit to cover your advertising costs. You need a range of products and an email list to advertise through. 
Content marketing takes much longer to work, depending on your chosen area of business. If you find an untapped niche to market your blog in, you can make some fast progress. However, with a competitive niche you will struggle to get noticed above all the other content which you will have to compete with. There's several reasons why you might struggle. The main one is lack of knowledge. Get the right education first and your affiliate business will move much faster.

8 What's The Best Affiliate Model To Use? 
There are many different affiliate models, all offering something different to suit the individual. Some affiliates target search traffic and aim to get their content found on Google. Some create their own products and sell them directly to customers. However, having a range of products which you can sell over and over to existing customers is a great model for long term success. Selling a single item online is limited. It means you can only make one commission from each sale. By choosing membership products to promote which also offer back end sales and a built in sales team, you can benefit from monthly commissions and up-sell commissions for the lifetime of any given customer. Selling membership products is definitely a game changer when it come to affiliate marketing because you make an income from each customer, rather than a single commission. But a good model to choose is one in which you have a passion for and can keep doing for the long term. Choosing products which you have no interest in is a short sighted plan. Think about what you would like to do online to generate an income. If you choose to go with your passion, your business will last much longer, and be more successful.
9 Can I Just Sell My Own Products?
Many affiliates create their own products to sell online. However, when you are starting out it is a good idea to learn the basics of marketing first. That way you can start earning more quickly from your affiliate business. I spent a long time creating my own products when I first discovered affiliate marketing. But I didn't sell anything because of a couple of reasons. Firstly I didn't research whether my products would have a big enough demand. Secondly I didn't know how to market them. By joining a program which teaches you how to market products first, you can start making money more quickly. Don't waste time creating products if you don't know how to sell them. Marketing is a much more important skill for making money online. Once you know this skill, you can then apply it later when marketing your own products and services. Also your own products will be limited in range. By using an existing product range, you can benefit from products which are already selling. You can choose a program which offers high ticket commission, monthly memberships, back end sales and a built in sales team. Building your own products which offers all of these things not a possibility for most people when starting out.
10 What's The Point Of Affiliate Marketing?
Some people struggle with the concept of affiliate marketing.They think it sounds too 'salesy'. When I understood affiliate marketing I immediately found it appealing simply because I needed a flexible way to work around my contract work. I had to drop what I was doing at a moments notice if the phone went. This meant other jobs were awkward to juggle around. No-one wants to employ a 'flaky' employee. I wanted to work from my laptop and affiliate marketing gave me that opportunity. For many people this is the reason why they choose affiliate marketing. They can earn an income from their laptop, choose their working hours and not have a boss or place of employment. You don't have to sell directly to anyone or even talk to a customer. There is no stock to hold. Added to this, the scalability of affiliate marketing which lets you scale up to a global audience and deliver products on autopilot, makes it the best flexible business of the future.

What Are Some of the Most Successful Home Based Businesses?

November 21, 2017 0
What Are Some of the Most Successful Home Based Businesses?

Since home based businesses are suppose to change your life, and bring more happiness due to each person having more control over their own life, my first criteria to judge the value of a good home based business will be, what do you have a passion for?
If your home based business is going to bring you happiness and a sense of self actualization then you should have a real passion for the product your business is providing. For example, do you have a passion for fitness, being healthy and or losing weight? Then maybe you should find a business that has those products. I can give you some examples of some companies but i don`t want to put any ideas into your head. There are tons of health and wellness companies out there. It`s really gotten competitive in the arena. But again, what are you passionate about? Secondly, what type of business method will you be comfortable with?


For example, Do you like doing your business belly to belly? Doing home parties? Inviting people to large "opportunity" meetings in the conference room of hotels? Door to door sales? Or hitting up all your friends and relatives? Some people like that approach and that`s OK but not me. I like being on my computer marketing on the internet. With belly to belly you have that personal aspect of looking someone right in the eye. Maybe building a little bit of a relationship first, which could be beneficial. But your numbers will be down. Not as many people to present your opportunity to. But on the internet you can contact as many people as you want. Many presentations to interested people. But no trust built from a little bit of a relationship. That`s OK, I`m a introvert. I don`t want to go belly to belly.
But if you find a opportunity that is mainly done on line, what kinds of tools do they provide? Do they just throw a web site at you with a few banners and say go for it? Or do they provide a lot of training to show you how to actually do internet marketing. Finding good leads. Leads that produce sales or a co-marketer. Take your time to find out.
A third consideration is the cost. The best approach is to have at least a little bit of a budget to cover costs and do a business the right way. Many businesses with many compensation plans and business plans. If you just start at the lowest starting point with the smallest price just expect to take a long time to make a wage you can live off of. Your business will grow faster with the more money you have to invest. That`s just the way it is. Don`t expect to get rich over night. Even a traditional "brick and mortar" type of businesses don't often make a profit their first year. It takes time.

One last consideration is, up line support and does the business have a track record and some good longevity? When you first start out you need a sponsor/ up line / en-roller who will show you how to do the business. Someone for you to go to when you have questions. Also, Is the business a proven business or is it just a fly by night "opportunity" that may not be around in 6 months. Do some research. Don`t jump at the first email you look at. Give it careful consideration. I`ve had many of en rollers who said that they would be there for me but jumped ship at the next flavor of the month that sounded good. I also have plenty of business URL`s from past opportunities that don`t work any more. No longevity. No support.
Finally, let me say that I have found a opportunity that has met all these important considerations. Please take a look at my opportunity and let me know what you think.

To your success!

How You Can Save Up To 4 Times More Money While Making Extraordinary Monthly Income

How You Can Save Up To 4 Times More Money While Making Extraordinary Monthly Income

Starting a home-based business has a considerable amount of financial benefits in the long run. This is due to the fact that home-based businesses provide more opportunities to transform your lifestyle and become financially independent. If you're considering starting a new business and you don't have sufficient resources to purchase an office space, starting a home-based business could give you some financial leverages.


Here are some benefits of owning a home-based business:
It saves you money on rent
Since this business is ran from your living room or garage, it will save you the upfront expenses you would have if you were renting an office space.
You will save on transportation expenses
A study conducted by Work From Home magazine shows that Americans spend an average of 50 minutes commuting to and from their offices. This type of business can save you a considerable amount of money because you will not have to travel as much anymore. In addition, the time you are saving by not commuting as much also helps you to be more productive. You are able to be more productive because instead of being stuck in traffic on the way to work, you can stay home and use those extra 50 minutes to promote your marketing campaign.
you can also save on additional taxes
There are numerous tax benefits that come with operating this type of business. If your business is qualified, you might be allowed to deduct a portion of your home's expenses. Some expenses that can be deducted are mortgage interests, property taxes, utilities, and maintenance. However, to enjoy these tax benefits, your home office must be your principal place of business.
Low overhead expenses
A home-based business will reduce your overhead expenses since you will only pay the usual bills for your home. No additional bills for gas, electricity, telephones, internet connection, and other overheads you would have paid in case you're opening an office.


Home-based businesses offer a lot of financial benefits for startup owners. It gives you multiple opportunities to test the waters and position your business on a low budget before launching on a full scale. However, I would recommend that you consult with some experts before you start.
According to Work From Home magazine, the average rate of success is low in this industry and you will need to proper guidance if you want to avoid being another failure statistic. Lastly, I would also recommend that you go to the Better Business Bureau's website to get a non-biased review on whether the business you choose is legit or not.
To learn a step by step credible method on how you can start a home-based business properly, save up to 4 times more money, and make extraordinary income, go to Make Extraordinary Income

Video Content Is a Vital Part of Your Content Marketing Strategy

November 05, 2017 0
Video Content Is a Vital Part of Your Content Marketing Strategy

We are usually attracted to click on images and videos on posts of Instagram or Facebook and we seldom can resist them. It's becoming a common "habit" of ours to be often on our mobile devices to satisfy our curiosities. Videos especially are the big attraction. I personally would look out for videos when on Instagram.
As a result online marketers are taking the advantage of video marketing as part of their content marketing to increase online traffic for better returns; and marketers the likes of Brian Clark, Heidi Cohen, Neil Patel, and many more are generating more video content. Video marketing as part of s.e.o. content creation is a must in content marketing today. It's obviously clear that to stand out and to build trust among your audience, it's incredibly important to get in front of a camera. That's why you see Neil Patel increasingly generating more and more videos.


The time for video is now. All the major players in the marketing industry see it, and below are some pointers as to why so many marketers are using video and why it should be your choice to use it for your business and branding.
1. YouTube Can Drive Great Traffic.
YouTube is the 2nd most trafficked site in the world according to Alexa.com. Not only does YouTube have a ton of visitors, but YouTube videos are incredibly easy to share and increase the likelihood of your content indexing for keywords in search. Having your video on YouTube gives you a chance at ranking for those big keywords you've always dreamed of ranking for.
2. Social Media Makes Videos Easy to View
Unlike blog posts which require users to actively click through to your content, videos show up and are playable on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and even in your Gmail inbox.


If you think people aren't watching video social media, think again. TechCrunch reports that Facebook users watch over 100-million hours of video per day! Not only that, but Adweek found that videos on Twitter were six times more likely to be retweeted than photos. It's clear from all the data from TechCrunch, Adweek, HubSpot, and the fact that I always find myself tweeting videos, that people want to see more video on social media.
3. Videos Can Build a Crazy Amount of Trust
People do business with people they like. People want to help people they like. Video lets people see that you're a real person. I know that sounds crazy, but just seeing you or your product can increase the level investment and trust by an absurd amount.
When you're selling anything you need to build trust, and video content is one of the best ways of doing that because it literally lets the user have a more personal experience. They see you or your product and they hear your pitch. It is so much more personal than a blog post.

4. People Really Like Video Content
Not only does video content build trust and drive traffic, but people also really want you or your company to create videos. A HubSpot sales statistic found that 43% of people want to see more video content from marketers. HubSpot also found 51.9% of marketing professionals worldwide name video as the type of content with the best ROI.
It makes complete sense why top marketers are increasingly making more videos. This content is incredibly effective at building trust and it's incredibly easy for viewers to share. Video content is powerful, and if you're not already creating it you should really consider adding it your content marketing strategy.

Make Money From Home - The Basic Tools Needed For Financial Success

Make Money From Home - The Basic Tools Needed For Financial Success

You can earn a solid living from home by joining a home-based business opportunity. 
I would recommend that you go to the non-profit organization, Better Business Bureau, to determine whether the opportunity you picked is legit or not. 
However, once you picked the right opportunity, you will need some basic tools at your disposal in order to see success. According to home-business magazine, 8 out of 13 people fail when they attempt start the journey to financial success by trying to lift their business off the ground.
Today I will share with you some tools that can help in your journey to financial freedom.
#1 Google Analytics
When you are starting a home-based business opportunity, it is all about the numbers. 

In my opinion, you must find demand and fill it with supply. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. How much traffic are you able to generate to your website monthly?
2. Where does the bulk of the traffic you generate come from?
3.What are the demographics of your specific audience?
These questions play a huge role in the success of a start-up campaign. In my opinion, you will never get a perfect understanding on who your target audience is, but the more you know, the better your campaign will be.
#2 E-zine
E-zine is an amazing place where you can write and publish content to the masses. People are always looking for solutions to their problems and you can help them. The way you can get that accomplish is by submitting an article that contains quality, non-promotional content on how your core audience can get rid of their problems. Once you have built a loyal fan base, you can then direct them to the services that you have to offer.
#3 A stable internet service
Your internet connection is your life-line because you are in a home-based business. The only way for you to communicate and sell your products is to have a stable internet connection. Make sure you talk to your current internet service provider to make sure that your internet will stay available at all times.
#4 Seek help from experts
Make sure to get help. Do not make the same mistakes that most people make when they try to start a home-based business opportunity. 


There are experts who have been in the arena before and can help you. 
All you must do is join some forums, so you can ask questions and become friends with people who have the same dreams and goals that you have.
