Frank Kilgore: Business Income Ideas

You will find someone launching a new program to help you about everyday it seems.

There are so many internet marketing gurus trying to help you get a business started with their help, it is overwhelming. For most of us it is extremely confusing just trying to decide which one to use.

Do you use?…

1. Nitro Marketing’s “Nitro Blueprint” system, or

2. Armand Morin’s “Internet Marketing Explained” system, or

3. Russell Brunson’s “DotCom Secrets” system, or

4. Tellman Knudson’s “List Building Club“, or

5. Other Internet Marketing Gurus’ systems from
(i.e. Shawn Casey, Joshua Shafran, Marlon Sanders, Mark Joyner, and more)

or maybe some of the newer up-and-coming, but lesser known super stars…
for example:

6. Bob Jenkin’s “Success Workshop“, or

7. Sterling Valentine’s “‘PowerMonth‘ and more”,

8. or ???

The decision is tough because each of these (and many others that I have not mentioned) are first rate. To succeed, all that is required is to follow their guidance and do what they instruct you to do.

FOLLOW and DO = SUCCESS!

OK, I know you want to ask what I would do; right?
If I were asked to make a suggestion based on my personal experience about starting an online business, I would suggest combining one of the programs from the first group (1-5) and include one of the highly interactive programs from the later group (6-7).
This combination would save you time and money to begin with and…the combination would allow you to learn the necessary components of an online business while having a sounding board and peer group to answer questions you have while keeping you motivated and focused.

Which of the above systems/programs, or other, would you suggest to help someone start an online business?

Others are saying what I have been saying. Create a supplemental income stream.

This morning I read the Sunday newspaper, “The Birmingham News”, and in its Money section under MONEY TIPS an article appeared titled: “Take Steps to Avert Dangers of Recession” by Teresa Dixon Murray, Newhouse News Service. The article discussed several key points regarding how you can hedge against a possible recession to maintain your financial stability.

Ms. Murray suggested a number of ways to protect against a recession; some of these include:

-Consider getting a home equity loan while you have a job and can currently qualify for one.
-Consider investing in secure large-cap investments
-Get your finances organized
-Develop a budget
-Identify all your assets
-Pay down debt
-Increase your rainy day fund
-Delay any major discretionary spending
and
-Look for new sources of income

This last item truly caught my attention as she stated that if you’re the only one employed in your household, then you should look at turning a hobby into a side business or try to develop a new skill with a part-time job. The point she made was that if you lost your regular income source (a job), then you at least would have something to fall back on.

I agree with Ms. Murray; however, I would take the concept a step further and say… Develop and have a supplemental income stream, a side business, at all times, regardless of whether you are the only person employed in your household.

I believe that everyone should have an income producing side business of some sort as long as it is productive and does not require any substantial time. In today’s time with the internet, an online business about your hobby, your skill, your life’s experiences is certainly a viable option for a realistic supplemental income source, recession or not.

How do you protect yourself against recession?

Are The Initial Keys To Business Marketing And Winning

In today’s fast-paced, get-it-now and can’t wait society, we must be ahead and stay ahead of our competition to have a reasonable chance to market our goods and services. It’s analogous to the old saying, “The Early Bird Gets The Worm”.

No matter how good your product or service might be, if you don’t promote your product and let people know about it ….well, the only thing you have is a great product or service doing nothing for no one. And of course you know who the real loser is in a scenario like this.

So, if you know who your market is and where it is located you must let your market know “who you are”, “what you provide”, and “what you can do for them”. Your business, or any business, the number one function of your business is marketing, marketing, and marketing.

If marketing has to be the number one function of your business, then…

How do you get out in the middle of your crowd so that they run all over you?
