What can I do today?

Hey,

Where do entrepreneurs make the big money?

Hint: It’s not from selling products or services.

The big money comes from selling the business.

Have you ever heard this quote: Entrepreneurship is about living a few years of your life like most won’t, so that you can live the rest of your life like most can’t.

I think about this quote all the time.

What can I do today, that will make my future better.

I apply this every day to my business.

How can I improve my business today, so that it performs better tomorrow.

Hiring freelancers to work for us has consistently given us a positive return on investment.

A sales page redesign doubled our sales.

One blog post cost us $100 4 years ago. It now makes us over $1500/month and gets us 30,000 visitors/month!

We doubled our search traffic last year. Was it because we dramatically increased our page loading times? Is that also why our conversions went up again?

All these investments pay for themselves within days…

Play the long game where you think past making a buck today, so that you can make 10 bucks tomorrow.

Last year we launched a new website called AwesomeWeb.com

You go to AwesomeWeb to find and hire the best freelance designers and developers.

All you have to do is search for the skills you are looking for and it will show you freelancers meeting your criteria. Then you can browse through their portfolios, decide who you like and contact them, all without paying us anything or registering on the site.

One thing we kept getting asked, over and over, was for a job board feature.

Business owners, bloggers, and entrepreneurs just like yourselves, wanted to post an ad and let our awesome freelancers come to you.

So we built a Job Board

We originally didn’t want to include a job board because we didn’t like the environment they create on our competitors sites. It essentially turns every job into a bidding war, where often, the cheapest bidder wins. The problem is, the cheapest is often the worst, in every way imaginable. Poor communication. Poor coding practices. Cuts corners. Little attention to detail etcetera etcetera.

This doesn’t exist with AwesomeWeb, for two big reasons:

1. EVERY single member on our platform goes through an approval process. If they are not good enough, they get declined. On average we decline over 25% of members. Which may not seem like a lot, but we are also one of the only freelance marketplaces who charge freelancers for membership. This results in not only a community of the best freelancers but also members who take business seriously. Which is something you want.

2. Freelancers cannot see what other freelancers are saying or bidding. 100% open communication. When a freelancer see’s your job, they are invited to start a conversation. Members are encouraged to add each other on Skype, this doesn’t exist on other sites because they charge the client (you), a percentage of the project fee for their service and if you are talking outside of their site, you may cut them out which means they lose money. Again this just leads to poor communication and an environment where no one wins.

Our job board is easy to use and leads you effortlessly through the process.

To post a job, visit this page.

Briefly describe what you do and your target audience. After that tell us what you want and how you want it.

Then hit Publish Job.

We won’t be releasing the job board update to freelancers for a couple more days. For maximum exposure, make sure to publish your job as soon as possible so that when we go live to members, you have our whole community looking.

I hope you enjoy this new feature, we have many more planned.

Michael

PS. If you are stuck on what to hire a freelancer for, here are some suggestions that apply to 90% of sites I see:

- Hire a developer to make your website 100% responsive so that it looks flawless on every device. This increases conversions and search engine rankings.

- Hire a designer to produce a branding package. Including: Logo, Favicon (little image next to name in browser tab), Social Media Graphics, Business Cards. Get one person to do it all so that it will match and make your brand look a notch above the rest. This is a great opportunity to pick a colour scheme to keep to going forward.

- Customised website headers for different seasons (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Easter, Halloween)

- Banner adverts for your site to promote sales pages and squeeze pages. Affiliates can also use them to promote you.

- Completely redesign your whole site. If you are making money right now and you haven’t had a professional designer work on your site, then you are losing money. If you pay someone $2000 to design your site and you start to make $500 extra a month, is it worth it? Of course it is!

- Get a developer to optimise your site for page speed. The faster your site, the higher your conversions, the better Google ranks you.

- Get a developer to build that mobile app you have wanted to build for AGES.

Now go to the Awesomeweb Job Board

Motivation is critical [Grateful]

Hey,

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone here at IncomeDiary.com

We are grateful to you for reading our messages, buying our products and supporting our endeavors.

Our gift to you today is an authentic and revealing message about Motivation.

Enjoy,

Barry Dunlop
Team IncomeDiary

++++ One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that motivation is critical ++++

By Craig Ballantyne

One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that motivation is critical. Take diets, for example: they aren’t exactly rocket science, but it takes a huge amount of motivation to follow a strict diet… just like it takes motivation for most people to hit the gym 3-5 times per week.

The same principle applies in other parts of our lives. It takes a tremendous amount of motivation… of self-discipline… to get up every day and stay focused on building an alternate source of income.

Maybe you have a great new e-book that you’d like to write… or perhaps launch a new business overseas in one of the many exotic places that I travel to each year… or develop the skills to become a successful online currency trader.

But life is full of distractions. And as human beings, we are full of personal challenges. OK let’s be honest – weaknesses. Nobody is perfect, and we all have to overcome our personal weaknesses to become successful.

It took me many years to build a successful fitness business… years before I was writing guest columns in publications like Men’s Health. During that time, I had to overcome my own weaknesses, and I’m going to be very candid with you about how I did that:

My Weakness #1 – Addiction

I come from a family that suffers from addiction. My father was an alcoholic, and his brother was an alcoholic and cigarette smoker. Both had their lives shortened because of it.

I have no intentions of going down that road, but if there really is a gene for addiction, then I guess I have to be addicted to something, right?

If so, then I’m at least going to pick my poison. So I choose knowledge. And by doing so, I channel my weakness into a strength: an insatiable appetite to learn.

Now, given the opportunity, I’d surf the web all day reading various websites… but that behavior, while not destructive, doesn’t further my business. Instead, I fore myself to seek out productive knowledge: things like professional seminars, books, and online courses.

That’s how my weakness becomes a strength.

My Weakness #2 – Laziness

My next biggest weakness is that I am utterly lazy when it comes to manual labor. In fact, I am so lazy that when I was younger, I would put more effort into avoiding work than if I had just gone to work. I’m also mechanically inept, which doesn’t help.

This isn’t a badge of honor for me… just a simple truth that is, in fact, a weakness of mine. I knew that if I wanted to be successful, I had to figure out a way to channel this weakness into building a business based on what I -really- wanted to do with my time.

That’s why I’ve worked for 18 years to build a business that makes money selling my knowledge, not my labor. I turned my weakness into a strength and designed a lifestyle based on working how I want, when I want.

My Weakness #3 – No tech skills

I can barely figure out iTunes (just about had a meltdown yesterday and almost smashed my computer trying to rent Ironman 2 (yes, Ironman TWO!) on my computer).

But in reality, that’s VERY good news for people running their own website business.

You see, the money is not made through technological knowledge. You can hire that. Cheap, too. So the simple solution to this weakness is to outsource.

Do NOT spend hours and hours figuring out how to create websites. In fact, I’d say that having superior tech skills will HINDER an online business because you’ll get too focused in the technical weeds.

Instead, you should know WHAT you want, and hire someone else to figure out HOW. Focus on the big ideas that will make you money, let others sweat the small stuff.

You can hire some of the worlds best Tech People and Designers at www.awesomeweb.com

So turn your technology weakness into a strength by learning how to delegate the tech tasks to someone else. That’s what I did.

Bottom line - there’s no weakness that is insurmountable. Any weakness can be turned into a strength if you have the proper mindset and motivation to do it.

To your abundance and wealth,

Craig Ballantyne

PS - Need a hand figuring out how to start?

You need more than just a web designer.

You need a BIG idea, great copy, the perfect product, and an awesome offer.

The Ultimate Formula for Making Money

Hey,

JP Getty said...

"My formula for success is rise early, work late and strike oil."

But for those of us who don't strike oil,

Craig Ballantyne has an alternative formula...

Enjoy,

Barry Dunlop
Team IncomeDiary

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Ultimate Formula for Making Money
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was 9:45 on a Saturday night. In California. That put me five hours past my regular East Coast bedtime. But there I was, still on stage in front of over three hundred small-business owners, showing them how to extract more profit from their businesses.

I loved it. Nothing gets me more excited than teaching enthusiastic, ambitious people my success formula, whether in fitness or in business. And this formula was the most important equation they’d ever receive:

(NM + YP) x BI¹⁰ x OPC x POS / 5% = $$$

The end.

Clap. Clap. Clap…….Clap.

Just kidding.

Of course I’ll explain it to you.

NM stands for “Niche Market” and YP stands for “Your Product”.

Add those two together and multiply it by the “Big Idea” (BI). The Big Idea is the essential exponential factor in success.

Take that result and multiply it by “Other People’s Customers” (OPC), which is the fastest way to get started.

Now you multiply that by your “Position of Strength” (POS). Your POS is what you bring to the marketplace that no one else can bring.

Divide that by your 5% (Your Unique Ability – the activities that Dan Sullivan explains as being only made possible by you and your talents).

And that is The Formula for how you make money in business.

Let me walk you through it in a little more detail.

To get started building your business, you need to choose a marketplace where you know the customer well.

You need to know what they want, what keeps them up at night (either because they are frustrated or excited), and you need to know what problem they have that you can solve.

Your product itself needs to have a Big Idea.

Your Position of Strength is a wildcard in your success.

You must bring something to the game (of business) that is unique. Perhaps you have media connections, or an on-screen video personality that is unmatched by anyone else. Or perhaps it is your Big Idea or your expertise in the industry.

Oftentimes we discount our skills that would give us a Position of Strength, so don’t hesitate to ask your colleagues, friends, and family and have them tell you what allows you to stand out.

Finally, you’ve been taught time and time again to make sure that you are delegating the $10 per hour tasks if you want to make $100,000 per year. You need to get rid of the time-wasting activities in your day and focus on the activities in your business that will “move the needle”, as Early To Rise Publisher, Matt Smith likes to say.

Or as Bedros Keuilian proclaims, you should really only be working on, “Delegating, motivating, and selling.”

Those are the activities that will bring in revenue to your business – and that is what business is all about.

If you don’t know what activities are worth your time and what aren’t, then you need to get involved in a Mastermind group so that people who have more experience than you can help you.

This will give you faster results.

“Mastermind and collaborate with other smart entrepreneurs if they have futures that are even bigger than their present.” – Yanik Silver

Yanik Silver was my mentor who introduced me to Matt Smith, who then allowed me to achieve the goal of my business dreams, which was running Early to Rise.

You need to get out there and meet the people you want to do business with and be around positive people who have had success – even if it just means starting with a Virtual Mastermind group.

When you can afford to pay to play and get coaching, that will accelerate your progress even more.

The formula is part of your wealth-building journey. The networking you do is part of your wealth building “club”. And the mentor you get, such as myself, Yanik Silver, or Mark Ford, is you wealth building coach. When you have all of these in place, and you follow my wealth-building formula, then you will write your own ticket in life, and will achieve the success you desire and deserve.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thought For Today ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Be careful how you spend your time, there are no refunds.
