 Making Money By Being Unique: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

You are truly unique.

You already beat the odds. It was millions to 1 of being born with your particular genetic characteristics. NO ONE has your identical point of view, abilities or potential

So why conform?

If you are unique, why be like everyone else?

It is the people who do something different that succeed, not those who toe the line and follow others.

Your advantage is in using YOUR special powers

Here are some examples of successful non-conformists.

• Steve Jobs built the first Apple computer in his father’s garage

• Google was founded by 2 university students

• In the 70’s an entrepreneur came up with the idea of selling “pet rocks.” This made him a millionaire.

Many of you try to earn money online by promoting affiliate programs. Promoting affiliate programs is conforming.

With affiliate programs, you are selling the same thing everyone else is selling – so how can you excel?

To make money, you don’t want to be an affiliate, you want to HAVE affiliates.

The affiliate program OWNER makes more than their affiliates. The MLM OWNER makes far more than any individual MLMer in their program

So what do you do? Stop selling the same things everyone else is selling!

You can do this by

• Creating your own brand

• Becoming a celebrity

• Creating your own product

Here is an example of how to create your own brand.

In my case, “Garland Coulson” has a reputation for:

• Teaching novices about Internet marketing

• Providing useful factual information without the hype

• Giving great customer service and standing behind my products

So MY name is MY brand.

So what are the benefits of having your own brand?

People follow you and look forward to your offerings. People trust your brand.

When you do promote new products or affiliate or MLM programs to people, your signup rate & income is much higher because of the trust you’ve built in your brand.

You can even create your own brand without creating products.

One of my top affiliates put together a system teaching people how to make money online. Her income comes from monthly membership sales plus affiliate income from the programs she recommends (like mine).

SHE is her brand – people trust and follow her.

Another idea is to become a celebrity.

Web videos in places like YouTube can reach more people than network television.

You can use these web videos to teach, entertain or inform. This will build a group of people who follow what you offer that you can eventually monetize.

How to create a product.

All it takes is an idea and some time and effort. Spend time in forums and online communities to learn what your target audience needs.

Develop ebooks, videos, tools or membership web sites to meet these needs, then learn to promote them

What if you don’t have skills?

Even if you are not a writer, videographer or programmer, you can outsource people to do this for you through services like Guru.com.

Architects don’t build their own buildings.

Song writers’ music may be played by others, especially if they are writing classical pieces for an orchestra.

Everything created in this world starts with an idea.

To summarize.

• Be unique – let your personality shine through in everything you do

• Build a following – people who have joined your list or view your blog/video channel

• Create your own products

• Use affiliate programs for extra money, not the main focus

Best of luck in all your online ventures!

 Real Work From Home Opportunities - do they exist?: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

While teaching about Internet marketing. I am often asked if there are any REAL work from home opportunities.

There are, but they get confused amidst all the hype and scams. This article will help separate the real work at home opportunities from the garbage.

Why work from home? Some common reasons include:

• Parents who want to say home with children

• People who are disabled who have difficulty with traditional work evironments

• People like me who want a more relaxed lifestyle

• People who want to reduce their impact on the environment

Beware of “Work From Home” Web Sites.

Many sites promise you amazing work from home opportunities

Often these are just trying to entice you to PAY to join a multilevel marketing program or to buy their products that profess to help you – in some cases they are outright scams.

Here are the three main types of real work at home opportunites:

• Telecommuting

• Freelance

• Start your own business

Here is how they work and what you need to get started.

Telecommuting:

Telecommuting is where you work for a company from your home. You are an employee and are paid hourly or by salary. The benefits of telecommuting include stable income, possible health & insurance benefits and you know what you are working on every day.

The drawbacks is that your income potential is capped and you are likely to work on the same kind of work over and over.

Where can you find telecommuting jobs?

Try searching major job sites using words like telecommute, telecommuting, work from home, off site, etc. For example Monster.com had 1127 jobs that mentioned this while I was writing this article. Another to try would be Workopolis.com.

What is freelancing?

Freelancing is where you work for other people on on a project by project basis. You would likely work for a wide range of companies and projects rather then for one employer on on type of job.

Freelance examples include writing, marketing, photography, graphic design, web design, programming, researching, virtual assistants and many others.

The benefits of freelancing include earning more money than a standard job or telecommuing, being able to work on a range of interesting projects and a greater freedom.

The drawbacks of freelancing include constantly having to find new projects, less security, and the risk of some project owners not paying promptly.

Finding freelance projects:

You can find freelance projects through web sites like Guru.com, eLance.com and

iFreelance.com. You can keep a presence in many sites like these until you get to the income you desire. Some of these sites also have “escrow” services where the project owner has to put the money in trust and it is released to you upon completion.

Starting your own business.

You can start a business by:

• Selling your own products

• Selling services

• Selling products and services of others

The benefits of your own business is that you are your own boss, you can fully unleash your creativity and great results = MORE money.

The drawbacks are less security, may need some capital to start, and a steep learning curve.

You can get help starting your business with books from your local library or from courses, either online or from local educational institutions.

So these are the three types of REAL work at home opportunies. Take some time to research each to see which best suits you.
