The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered, "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." (*Photo credit – Christopher - Flickr: dalailama1_20121014_4639) A wise man indeed. The point to note here is that while your career and family may be important, nothing supersedes your health. From what you’ve read so far, it may seem to be all gloom and doom if you’re guilty of having neglected your health for a while. Cast your fears aside. Your health and body constantly seek to improve and get better. You just need to assist them. This finally brings us to the main point… Green smoothies. The miracle that even Popeye relied on. Technically, Popeye ate spinach. But you get the drift… Your greens are important for good health. There is a movie titled, “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”. You may have watched it, and if you’ve not, you might wish to check on YouTube to see if it has been uploaded there. The movie is a real-life documentary about, Joe Cross, who was 100 lbs overweight and facing several serious health issues. Joe adopted a plant-based diet and mostly drank raw vegetable and fruit juices. Within a few months, he had shed his excess weight and his health had improved by leaps and bounds. This certainly is testament to the power of a healthy diet. There are several different types of smoothies which come in a range of different colors. In this guide, we’ll be focusing on green smoothies which are without a doubt, the most powerful type of smoothies at restoring your health and vitality. Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? You are? Read on to find out how green smoothies will put you in the pink of health. "When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need." - Ancient Ayurvedic Proverb Chapter 1 – Why greens? The first question that will pop into many people’s minds when thinking of starting a juicing or smoothie diet will be, “Why are green smoothies better than other smoothies?”... After all, aren’t all vegetables and fruits beneficial? Yes, it’s true that different fruit and vegetables contain a multitude of vitamins and antioxidants. However, greens contain a lot more vitamins and antioxidants than the other vegetables which are called “Phytonutrients”. With a good mix of greens in your smoothies, you will not miss out on any vitamins that your body needs. You should note that the drinks are made with raw vegetables and fruits. There are no additives, artificial flavouring, sugar or sweeteners, etc. The smoothies are best consumed in their raw form to derive the optimal benefits from the healthy, wholesome nutrients. Now that we’ve discovered that green smoothies are a massive shortcut to excellent health & vitality, let’s look at the benefits that can be accrued from preparing and consuming these smoothie gifts from nature. Chapter 2 - Benefits of Green Smoothies Now we’ve discovered that green smoothies are excellent for one’s health, let’s look at how they actually help you get healthier and stronger. Increased energy While you may not notice a change overnight, as you consume green smoothies over a period of 2 or 3 weeks, you’ll notice that you have more energy and a better outlook in general. You will have more vitality and zest for life. You won’t be able to explain why... but rest assured that the green smoothies are making a difference. To achieve this, it’s best to consume the smoothies on an empty stomach. Another good time to drink these smoothies is after an exercise session when your body is craving nutrients. Aids in weight loss As mentioned earlier, Joe Cross lost almost 100 pounds from a juice fast. It may make many people panic when they think of not eating food and merely drinking smoothies. They fear starving or becoming under-nourished. This is a huge fallacy. Our bodies require nutrients from food. That is true. However, there is a severe dearth of good nutrients in the food we consume these days. That is why people never feel satiated and constantly keep eating. The food they’re eating is high in processed ingredients, additives, etc. While it may fill the stomach, these are empty calories that lack the nutrients the body needs. As a result, the body craves more food to compensate for the lack of ingredients. So, people eat more, get obese and stay unhealthy. Green smoothies are packed with micronutrients that the body craves. You would be surprised to learn that a single glass of green vegetable juice, full of good nutrients that the body craves, is more beneficial than an entire meal at a swanky restaurant.

Salespage Snapshot: >>> Click Here To View Full Sales Page... Sample Content Preview Why E-Commerce? The reason, as you shall see, is that e-commerce technology is different and more powerful than any of the other technologies we have seen in the past century. While these other technologies transformed economic life in the twentieth century, the evolving Internet and other information technologies will shape the twenty-first century. Prior to the development of e-commerce, the process of marketing and selling goods was a mass-marketing and sales force-driven process. Consumers were viewed as passive targets of advertising “campaigns” and branding blitzes intended to influence their long-term product perceptions and immediate purchasing behaviour. Selling was conducted in well-insulated “channels.” Consumers were considered to be trapped by geographical and social boundaries, unable to search widely for the best price and quality. Information about prices, costs, and fees could be hidden from the consumer, creating profitable “information asymmetries” for the selling firm. Below are the seven unique features of E-commerce technology that make some good reasons for you to start your own e-commerce business. Ubiquity In traditional commerce, a marketplace is a physical place you visit in order to transact. For example, television and radio typically motivate the consumer to go someplace to make a purchase. E-commerce, in contrast, is characterized by its ubiquity: it is available just about everywhere, at all times. It liberates the market from being restricted to a physical space and makes it possible to shop from your desktop, at home, at work, or even from your car, using mobile commerce. The result is called a marketspace—a marketplace extended beyond traditional boundaries and removed from a temporal and geographic location. From a consumer point of view, ubiquity reduces transaction costs—the costs of participating in a market. To transact, it is no longer necessary that you spend time and money traveling to a market. At a broader level, the ubiquity of e-commerce lowers the cognitive energy required to transact in a marketspace. Global Reach E-commerce technology permits commercial transactions to cross cultural and national boundaries far more conveniently and cost-effectively than is true in traditional commerce. As a result, the potential market size for e-commerce merchants is roughly equal to the size of the world’s online population. The total number of users or customers an e-commerce business can obtain is a measure of its reach. In contrast, most traditional commerce is local or regional—it involves local merchants or national merchants with local outlets. Television and radio stations, and newspapers, for instance, are primarily local and regional institutions with limited but powerful national networks that can attract a national audience. In contrast to e-commerce technology, these older commerce technologies do not easily cross national boundaries to a global audience. Universal Standard One strikingly unusual feature of e-commerce technologies is that the technical standards of the Internet, and therefore the technical standards for conducting e-commerce, are universal standards—they are shared by all nations around the world. In contrast, most traditional commerce technologies differ from one nation to the next. For instance, television and radio standards differ around the world, as does cell telephone technology. The universal technical standards of the Internet and e-commerce greatly lower market entry costs—the cost merchants must pay just to bring their goods to market. At the same time, for consumers, universal standards reduce search costs—the effort required to find suitable products. And by creating a single, one-world marketspace, where prices and product descriptions can be inexpensively displayed for all to see, price discovery becomes simpler, faster, and more accurate. And users of the Internet, both businesses and individuals, experience network externalities—benefits that arise because everyone uses the same technology. With e-commerce technologies, it is possible for the first time in history to easily find many of the suppliers, prices, and delivery terms of a specific product anywhere in the world, and to view them in a coherent, comparative environment. Although this is not necessarily realistic today for all or many products, it is a potential that will be exploited in the future. Richness Information richness refers to the complexity and content of a message. Traditional markets, national sales forces, and small retail stores have great richness: they are able to provide personal, face-to-face service using aural and visual cues when making a sale. The richness of traditional markets makes them a powerful selling or commercial environment. Prior to the development of the Web, there was a trade-off between richness and reach: the larger the audience reached, the less rich the message. Interactivity Unlike any of the commercial technologies of the twentieth century, with the possible exception of the telephone, e-commerce technologies allow for interactivity, meaning they enable two-way communication between merchant and consumer. Television, for instance, cannot ask viewers any questions or enter into conversationswith them, and it cannot request that customer information be entered into a form. In contrast, all of these activities are possible on an e-commerce Web site. Interactivity allows an online merchant to engage a consumer in ways similar to a face-to-face experience, but on a much more massive, global scale. Information Density The Internet and the Web vastly increase information density—the total amount and quality of information available to all market participants, consumers, and merchants alike. E-commerce technologies reduce information collection, storage, processing, and communication costs. At the same time, these technologies increase greatly the currency, accuracy, and timeliness of information—making information more useful and important than ever. As a result, information becomes more plentiful, less expensive, and of higher quality. A number of business consequences result from the growth in information density. In e-commerce markets, prices and costs become more transparent. Price transparency refers to the ease with which consumers can find out the variety of prices in a market; cost transparency refers to the ability of consumers to discover the actual costs merchants pay for products. Personalization/Customization E-commerce technologies permit personalization: merchants can target their marketing messages to specific individuals by adjusting the message to a person’s name, interests, and past purchases. The technology also permits customization— changing the delivered product or service based on a user’s preferences or prior behaviour. Given the interactive nature of e-commerce technology, much information about the consumer can be gathered in the marketplace at the moment of purchase. With the increase in information density, a great deal of information about the consumer’s past purchases and behaviour can be stored and used by online merchants. The result is a level of personalization and customization unthinkable with existing commerce technologies. For instance, you may be able to shape what you see on television by selecting a channel, but you cannot change the contents of the channel you have chosen. In contrast, the online version of the Wall Street Journal allows you to select the type of news stories you want to see first, and gives you the opportunity to be alerted when certain events happen.

Sample Content Preview I generally keep a spreadsheet with all the group names, items posted in each group. I also have the pictures and item description all typed out. This way I can just copy paste the item into one group after another to speed things up. Some groups post immediately, other groups wait for admin approval. Don't worry about it. Just read the group rules first, just to make sure you're compliant in case they have any specific requirement. For example, some groups will say item must be plugged in if it's electronic. So be sure to take a picture with it on and working. Sometimes the group requires you to say if you require pickup or not. Or some groups want you to only post if you live in that part of town. But I just post anyway and change the pickup location. Then when somebody wants to buy, I tell them I'm stuck watching kids, etc. And they will almost always come pick up. But once or twice I met someone half way at a parking lot. No big deal. I still made money. Now, most people have stuff they can sell right away. But what if you don't have a lot of valuable stuff. First, you probably do if you look hard enough. It you haven't used it in a while, you're not gonna miss it. Sell it. Make some cash. Move on. But if you don't, here's a way to get some valuable stuff for FREE, that you can sell. FB GROUP / FUNDRAISER COMBO: Think about having a garage sale. Then come up with a fundraising reason to have the garage sale. Do you have kids? That's always an easy one then. Tell people that you're raising funds to pay for the kids camp, school, sports team, whatever. Or, do you or a family member have a medical condition? Then tell people your fundraising for whatever med fund, or paying for procedure, treatment, surgery, therapy, whatever. Or, do you need to pay for a class tuition? Etc, etc. Just look at some GoFundMe campaigns and come up with an honest reason to have a garage sale. Now, post on facebook and email some friends. Tell them you're having a garage sale to raise money for your project/reason. Please don't lie. Be honest. A little creativity and you can come up with a legit enough reason. Now, ask people to donate to your garage sale. Tell them you'll come by and pick up. Many people hate to have garage sales. They hate to clean out their garage and closets. They will be glad to donate to your cause. They feel like you're doing them a favor. Sometimes people will even drop off stuff to you. You can let people know at work, at church, in the neighborhood, community leagues, your local bar, whatever. It doesn't even have to be people you know. If you live in a neighborhood, join the neighborhood association facebook group and post your fundraiser there. Let people know you can swing by on Sat morning or whatever. Or let people know where you live and tell them to drop off at your place on their way out. Believe me, this works. I've had people drop off hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I sold for cash a day or two later. Now, yes, sometimes I do have a garage sale. I'm honest. Some stuff, especially small items sell better that way anyway. But bigger, nicer, more valuable items, I put all those on the facebook groups and make a lot more money for. People won't pay as much at a garage sale. So don't put the nice stuff outside. Sell it on facebook. Then you can always tell friends, facebook friends etc that you raised whatever amount, but are still a little short and will do another sale. Many times other people will give you stuff because they just forgot the first time. So you can have multiple fundraisers. And get a lot more stuff to sell on the facebook groups. A FEW SCENARIOS: Now let's discuss a few examples of how this works. And make clear your mindset to make this work. Again, I'm an introvert. So I don't like to go door-to-door selling stuff. Thankfully here, with this method, I don't have to. And neither do you. First, think about human nature. Most people, probably at least 50-70% of people collect things. They buy stuff they think they need or want, and a little while later they hardly use it. Electronics, clothes, art, furniture, memorabilia, lawn care, kitchen gadgets, etc. Often people have buyers remorse, but they feel attached to the items now. They often feel guilty or have angst about just throwing it away or even dropping it off at Goodwill or another collection service. So if you offer to people to give it to you, especially for a good cause, like a fundraising project, they are glad to help you and get rid of their extra stuff at the same time. Did you get that? This is key. Most people have stuff they no longer want, but are reluctant to part with it, unless they get something out of it. And what they 'get' out of it here is helping you. So this is how you are providing them a service and doing them a favor. You are a good reason for them to get rid of stuff they no longer want, and inside they feel happy to give it to you. If you own or rent a house: This is probably the easiest scenario. Because you can have donors drop stuff off and have buyers come pick it up without ever have to leave your house. What if you live in an apartment or condo? Especially if you are a single lady living by yourself and are not comfortable with strangers coming to your door, which is completely understandable, there is a way around this. Do you have a neighbor a few doors down? Ask your neighbor if you can come over and have the buyer meet you there. Then when they show up, you are with another person, and the buyer doesn't know where you live. Or, what if you have a friend at work, or a relative that doesn't mind helping you store the items at their house? Then you can have people drop off stuff to their address and the buyers pick it up there too. You can even offer to cut your friend or relative in on a share of the profits if needed; but most likely you don't even need to do that. What if you work at a job where your boss doesn't mind if you store some items at work? You can have people drop off stuff at your work, during business hours, and have buyers pick it up from your work during business hours too. See how this works? With a little creativity it's not hard to find a dropoff point / meetup location. The point here is you are just bring buyers and sellers together and it doesn't even have to be your house. A few examples of stuff I've sold & how it works: I let a few neighbors in my neighborhood know that we were raising money for our child's school tuition. And our goal was $3,000. So I don't them I was having a garage sale or two to raise money, and was wondering if they had any items they wished to donate. Some people said they'd think about it, and some people said sure they had stuff to donate. Just like that. Some will donate and some won't. And some will think about it later and donate later. That's ok. So, one older lady down the street lived by herself. She sometimes bought stuff off QVC infomercials. And she had stuff, like the air purifier, that was practically brand new, still in the box. She opened it, but never even used it. Why, I don't know, but that's not the point. What's important for you, is that she had this $300 air purifier just sitting in a box in her closet and didn't need it but didn't want to just throw it away, because she would feel guilty about being wasteful. So now, she's happy to help you out and get rid of some clutter in her house. So, I walked a few doors down, picked up the air purifier, plus a few other gadgets too, and then posted it on facebook. I put in the post, in the case of the air purifier, that it was bought brand new off QVC for $300. Now I didn't buy it, but it doesn't matter. People on facebook just want to know that it was bought off QVC for that price and was almost brand new. So that helps potential buyers feel like they are getting a great deal, and are willing to pay more for it than what they'd offer at a garage sale. Understand? So you don't want to sell an item like this air purifier at a garage sale because people always want dirt cheap at garage sales. But they will pay more on facebook, especially if you have nice pictures and a nice description. And they will stop by and pick it up from you. All you do is use the facebook messaging system to give them a time a place for them to pick up. If you work, or don't want people stopping by late, then just tell them you will there today or tomorrow from 5-7pm or whatever. Then, if they really want it, they'll make arrangements to come by at that time. And I also ask them to message me first when they're on their way. Another example: I let friends know on facebook that we raising money for the kid's tuition and are where a couple garage sales. So one couple said they have some children's furniture, toys and clothes that their kids had outgrown, and her husband would drop by with a truck to unload everything. Easy for me right. I sold the dresser and some of the toys, and a few of the clothes too, all on facebook. Easy money. One lady said she had stuff in her garage that I could come by and pick up. So, in my Toyota Corolla, I stopped by her place after work on the way home, and literally loaded up the car with stuff in her garage. She was happy to help clean out her garage, and happy I was there to haul it away for a good cause. She was glad to get rid of it and glad to help us. So I sold her stuff for a few hundred bucks. One example was a jogging stroller of hers. She hardly used it. I googled it, and found it selling retail for about $249. So I posted it on facebook for $149, and got $125 for it. Easy money. NOT EVERY ITEM IS BEST FOR FACEBOOK: Most bigger or valuable items sell well on facebook. You want to try it on facebook first to maximize your profits. I even sold an old pickup truck on facebook! A friend said he'd help me, and I was shocked to find out he was just going to give me his old truck. So I paid him $10 or something to sign over the car title at a local bank, then posted his truck on facebook and made $2,300 cash less than a week later. Boom! Now, that was a really big item. And not everyone gives you a TV or truck. So what if it's just a bag or box of clothes and small items that are not worth much individually? You can try selling them as a 'lot' on facebook. Put several related items together and sell them that way. I've done this many times. I sold a few collection of books. I put a fiction collection together and sold a whole box of books for $45. I did this with old school textbooks too. I also did a 'self help' collection which had some self-development books, DVDs, and 'how to' books together. I've done this same idea with music CDs and movie DVDs too. People are more likely to pay for the whole lot and pick it up. This way you can avoid a garage sale and trying to sell each one for $1 each. CRAIGLIST & EBAY: I'm not a huge fan of ebay. Not sure why. I guess it's just the extra step of mailing something across the country. But there are cases when something just doesn't sell on facebook, even after reposting it a few times. So I did ebay with a few items. One was a wireless home network a friend gave me. It was work about $150-200. So I sold that on ebay. In the U.S. you can pay for a preprinted label online at the U.S.PS. website, and the post office will come by and pick it up. So, research the item price on ebay, offer free shipping, have the post office pick it up, and you leave it on your doorstep. Then you just get paid via paypal or whatever. Not a big deal. You can just transfer the funds to your bank, or leave it in paypal to buy stuff. Still pretty easy. Craigslist works similar to facebook. But I find that people like to haggle a bit more there. Not sure why. It may be because more men use craigslist, but whatever. I just found that some items, like a pack of baseball cards and starwars memorabilia sold off craigslist. I think sometime collectors search craigslist nationwide. So that's just something to keep in mind. GARAGE SALE VARIATIONS: Yes, I do prefer facebook because it maximizes the profits. But at times, you get a lot of small stuff that's not worth a lot, and can't really be combined into a 'collection' or 'lot' for facebook. So then a garage sale may be necessary. But this can be just one morning for you. And you can still make a few hundred bucks here too. The key is to wait until you have enough stuff collected to have a lot of things to put outside. This looks better when people walk or driveby. People are more likely to stop by when you have a lot of stuff. So what I like to do is price everything to sell, and after a few hours, I have signs ready that I put out saying 'everything $1each' or something like that. Sometimes I'll tape a paper sign to a table 'this table $3 each' or whatever. People like that. They buy more. So I consider Garage sales to be a way to get rid of stuff that didn't sell or wouldn't sell on facebook/ebay/craigslist. And you can even let your friends know that on that date your doing your garage sale, and if they want to stop by and drop off stuff they can. I've had some of the same friends drive by with an extra bag or trunk load on the day before or even that same morning with more stuff. SCALING UP: I just use this method as needed. But, let me tell you about my friend Donna. I am facebook friends with this lady in my city. I see her posting stuff all the time. Most weekends she is buying/selling like crazy. This is basically her ongoing cash business which supports her and her two kids. She is a single Mom, but is able to provide for herself quite well. I've seen her house and her car, a brand new full-size truck actually. Anyway, she pays for everything cash. How does she do it? She has just learned how to scale up the methods I have just shown you. I have spoken with her many times, and she even helped me learn from her. She does a few things you might consider if you like this method and want to keep doing it long-term and for bigger profits. 1. She obviously does facebook buy/sell item flipping. What works for her, is she has let many people know over the years, that she buys/sells online to support her family. It's no secret. In fact, she tells people that if they ever have any extra stuff her, or her son may come pick it up. Or if you're in town, just to drop it by her friend's location. Donna lives outside of town. But she has a friend who lets everyone drop stuff off at her place. See, how nice this works. So people know they are helping her and her kids. And she gets a regular supply of nice stuff to sell for free. And it's a significant enough quantity to literally live off with no debt! Pretty amazing huh. ETSY: 2. Donna does Etsy. A lot of people do Etsy. I do not. It's not my style. But Donna does it in a clever way. Let me explain. Donna doesn't make any of her own stuff. She knows some older ladies who love to quilt and sell their quilts, and other knitted handmade stuff at local outdoor markets ('flea markets', craft fairs, sidewalk sales, community centers, etc.) What she does is offer to help sell these ladies stuff for them online, and split the profits with them. Most of these ladies are older, don't go online, probably can't even use the computer. So they are happy to let Donna do that www thing and make them all money. And it's not just quilts. Donna sells purses (handbags), jewelry, scarves and accessories, household decorations, etc. There are lots of folks out there, that probably know they could sell their handmade stuff online, but they don't want to take the time to learn how to do it. They think it's too hard or whatever. They just don't want to learn the computer thing. So you could be their new best friend. You're doing them a favor. It could be a great 'all cash' business arrangement, and they'll love you for it. 3. Donna does Thrift Stores. Kinda the same idea as her Etsy ladies. She has approached from thrift store owners and offered to sell stuff for them online. Same thing. The shop owners are 'old school' and happy to let Donna do the online thing for them. Again, more profits to split. Everybody's happy.

Sample Content Preview I won't waste your time with a bunch of fluff. Nor will I make this an A-Z comprehensive course on all things Facebook or internet marketing. I'm just going to show you the quickest way I've learned to start and optimize your facebook campaigns to grow your fan base quickly. I'm going to show you how to legally steal, uh acquire, fans for your fanpages. Also, this not about buying Facebook likes from fake accounts, or buying spammy fiverr comments. I've tried some of that in that past, and I don't recommend it; and besides, you won't get good results doing that now, and may just get your fanpage or account shut down by Facebook. I'm only going to show you real organic methods which are Facebook approved, and work today. And should work long into the future, because these techniques are not loopholes or ways to trick Facebook, but are proven methods which use Facebook the right way. We're just being 'smart' about how we do it. First, you need a Facebook account. Second you need a relevant fanpage. Then you need a credit card you can use to buy some Facebook ads. Next I recommend a relevant website to further capture leads and build an email list; but this is not mandatory. You can make money just using Facebook itself to promote affiliate, Clickbank, even CPA offers if you do it right. And the key is building your targeted fan base first. Facebook wants you to spend money as an advertiser on their network. They also want you to create relevant engaging content for your fans and to attract new fans. If you do that, then they aren't going to penalize you, as long as you're not promoting bad stuff or illegal material. So I'm not even going to discuss adult, gambling, or unlawful niches. I hope you're interested in promoting real products and services to real buyers, because that's the assumption I'll be using to discuss the methods below. Now, the biggest mistake I've made, and I see others making too, is that it's easy to get excited about using Facebook to drive/create traffic to money-making offers, and so you may just jump in and spend money on ads which don't get results. And the main reason is that you haven't properly identified your audience, understand your audience, and therefore can't really optimized your ad campaigns. I don't care what you're interested in, as long as it's not really really really weird, then there's plenty of other people out there that are interested in that too. And, for sure, they're on Facebook. So you can find them. Let's get started. First you must correctly identify your audience. For example, if you want to promote baby products, then you must realize that men typically don't buy baby products, women do. This should be obvious to you; but, specifically identifying what kind of women buy these products is the key. Are they expecting moms, stay-at-home moms, working mothers, or even grandmothers? Do they also have other kids? Are they single moms who are busy and don't have much time to research products? Are they young, first-time moms? Or, are they older moms buying gifts for their friends or daughters about to give birth? The better you ask specific questions about your audience, the more likely you can target their demographic and get the right followers and fans. Next, set up a fanpage, because you'll promote posts and place ads through your fanpage and not your personal account. Next, title your page as closely to this specific target audience based upon their need. For example, a fanpage for first-time moms, or mothers-of-multiples, or busy moms, or mothers of preshoolers, or best gifts for expecting women, or best products for a healthy pregnancy, etc. Do this exercise for any niche, like hunters, nascar fans, weightloss, music fans, whatever, and it's basically the same process of asking questions, identifying your specific target niche, and setting up a fanpage relevant to their need. Your fanpage must suggest that you provide solutions right from the start. And your content, that is posts/pics/articles/videos/offers must give the solutions to everyday problems and needs your target audience has. So make sure there's plenty of products on Amazon and Clickbank which you'll be able to offer them. Next, make sure your fanpage has an attractive cover to your target niche. Search Facebook for other fanpages and groups and see what other pages do that have a lot of followers. Then design a header that models those other successful pages. Or hire someone on Fiverr who does nice Facebook headers. Then, join a few of these other groups. Make a few nice comments and try to engage some in the conversation. You can also send a few of these folks friend requests too. I usually message them first. I'll say something like "Hey Jill, I really like your post today on the blankblank fanpage. That was funny (or I thought you we're right on)." Then also send them a friend request. Obviously, you can't send everyone a friend request, because they have to be distantly connected to you. But that's ok, you'll probably find a few. And many times people will accept your friend request, even if they don't know you, but you were nice and shared a previous conversion with them. These few new friends can be folks you ask later to do you a favor and like your new fanpage you created in that similar niche. Also, you'll want to make sure your Facebook profile pic and personal page looks nice too. Don't be a creep. If you've got a lot of weird posts that will scare your target niche away, then spend a few days cleaning that up first, and make 10-20 posts that are nice, funny, related, and non-threatening. Most people will just scroll down through your more recent posts and pictures and likes. If you profile is really weird or way off from your niche, you may need to start a new personal account and build that up a little first. Also like related TV shows, movies, books, fanpages, etc to look like one of them. Again, I think much of this is just common sense, but I have to say it anyway. Just think about real life, you wouldn't show up to an accountant convention looking like a goth or punk rocker. You'd put on a coat, maybe tie too, dress shoes, and bring business cards. So dress the part, and look the part. Now, you need to know how to create a Facebook post using a nice graphic image or video. You may have to experiment with this a bit. But you don't need to experiment with your new niche fanpage. You can use another account or your personal account to experiment. Google Facebook post recommended sizes and get the standard safe dimensions. Images get cropped in Facebook, so know the basic sizes that look good. And keep your text in the image less than 20% of the space, and not too close to the edge so it doesn't get cut off. I'll show you a few examples later when discuss the campaigns in more detail. But it's a good idea to make your posts look similar to your ads/promoted posts, so that they'll be approved, and you're also already conditioning your audience to expect this look from you. If you have Photoshop great, you can save a post or ad size template. If you don't, then it's still ok, you can use Gimp for free. Or just use any word processor with a white page background and take a picture of it with a snipping tool. You can even use excel too. I find it has a pretty good text editor and it also layers things easier than Word does. So you can move text over an image easily. Just uncheck the box to remove the gridlines, and you're good to go. Also you can download OpenOffice for free if you don't want to use a paid version of Corel or Microsoft. You can also search YouTube for videos on how to create memes without Photoshop, or PNGs using just Word. You'll find lots of videos showing you simple ways to do it. Or you can use Canva for free or cheap. Or even pay someone on Fiverr to create your post memes, but this can get a little expensive. Again, I learned to use Photoshop, but in the beginning I just used a word processor and a snipping tool to take a picture of the image and save it as a PNG file. You may have to experiment loading up a few PNGs to Facebook to get your method down. Now, you'll want to grow your fans. First, start with your existing friends, and especially any new ones you made in other groups or fan pages. Facebook has an option to Invite friends to like your page. But I don't like this option, because people get too many such invites and often ignore them. So I recommend you message each friend individually like this: "Hey Bill, would you do me a quick favor and like my page (insert url to your fanpage). I'd really appreciate this. Thanks so much!" You'll get better response and more likes taking the time to send invites individually this way. You may be able to get to 100 likes in a day or two just using this method. And when you get to 100 likes, Facebook turns on more ad features for your account, which you will probably want to use later. Now we'll discuss creating an ad. But before you just pay a bunch to Facebook to promote your ad, I recommend thinking about your first few ads a 'test' ads. So plan on making a couple different versions and keeping your budget low. Also I recommend starting with your own country and local demographic. Even if you live in Nigeria, and want to target Europe or America for your fanbase, because it's a different culture, and you probably know you're own culture best, start with your own cultural backyard while you're testing. This is easiest and less costly. Think about your other competitor fanpages. Who are they? What do those fans like? For example, if you're targeting the expecting mothers niche, you might learn that many of those people 'like' the Krazy Coupon Lady. You can find this out when you browse their fanpage likes on their personal Facebook profiles. So, when you're choosing the demographics for your Facebook ad, you can choose to target fans of The Krazy Coupon Lady, and promote your ad in front of just her fans. This technique is very powerful. If you think about your audience, you can literally steal fans from other competitors in your niche or hypertarget your ads to people who would be the most engaged. Again this is key. I've found that when I took the time to find out what my target audience likes, I get much better ad results when I target a fanpage that they also like. I wouldn't worry about adding more interests in the beginning. It can be helpful later, but for now keep it simple. Also, when you add additional interest this lowers your audience count because Facebook understands this to mean you want to target women age 35-59 who like the 'Krazy Coupon Lady' and also like 'Coupon Divas' and also like 'Coupons.com' etc. So the number of women who have liked all three Facebook pages goes down considerably. So, this is a useful feature to target some niches, but not all. I've found that just using the local as country or state, age, gender and one fanpage interest works well. You just have to pick the right fanpage. So, for more examples, let's take young men who like video games. So, rather than just target fans of MTV (I'm kinda looking old now I know), target men ages 18-24 who like 'Ghost Recon' or 'Diablo.' Just target fans of one game. That's it. Or, another example, target men or women who like 'Nascar.' Or who like a political or comedy show like 'Jon Stewart' or 'Colbert Report' or 'Conan O'Brian.' So, if you're wanting more female fans, then target women who like 'Jon Stewart.' That's it. Don't add Conan or Colbert. Also, I think most women prefer Jon Stewart. Again, this is why you need to know and understand your target audience. Also, if you know a YouTube channel or internet site where the viewers are a bit smaller and more targeted to your audience, then that's even better. So if want to target men who like gadgets, you might try using an interest of 'TechCrunch' versus 'Apple,' because Apple may be too broad, whereas TechCrunch is more narrow to a certain online tech-driven mostly male audience. If you're targeting people interested in SEO, then you might use the interest of 'QuickSprout' or 'SourcWave.' See what I mean. People who are really interested in SEO may have liked an SEO gurus fanpage. So find highly targeted fanpages by a guru for your niche, and then use that guru name as the interest category when you created your ad. So you're telling Facebook to only show your ad to people who liked that guru and this is as specific to their interests as possible. Here's a real example of mine. I understand not everyone's into religion and politics, but I am, so just bear with me. It's just an illustration, and a very good one to prove how using the right interest category for your targeted audience can greatly help you. And this is how you can learn to steal fans from a gurus fanbase :) One of my fanpages targets the Conservative Christian niche. So I focus on middle-aged men with those views. And in the beginning I tried using interest categories like 'republican,' but that was too broad. It wasn't targeted enough. And my ads didn't get good click-thru results. Then I tried a guru in that niche Joel Osteen, but again too broad, and not specific enough. But then I saw a preacher on TV named John Hagee talking about politics and Israel. He's well-known enough to be a category interest in Facebook, but he's not so big that all kinds of people like him. In fact, he's very polarizing and a lot of people hate him. So he's actually perfect for my niche. And this is key for you. Polarizing figures who are both loved by some and hated by others can have very specific and loyal followers. So if you can find an internet show or author or band or political figure etc that exactly matches your target niche, then Facebook has already done all the hard work for you. Then this guru's fans can become your fans! All you need to do is promote ads to them.

Sample Content Preview GETTING STARTED Online, you can be whatever you want! So, first things first. Who are you? How can you be your own brand if you don't know who you are? Know thyself said the ancient philosopher. Aheem....well....sleeping through humanities class was still a good idea, because it doesn't really matter who you are in real life. Online, you can be whatever you want. Just pick something you like. Something you're good at, want to be good at, want to do, or just really like to talk about. If it's your business, then that's easy. Be Richard the CPA, or Jake the Lawnguy. If you're a mid-level manager, be Susan CEO. It's ok to think up. Talk in the direction you want to go. If you're a Mom, that doesn't mean you have to be just a Mom online. You could be an artist, author, commentator, cartoonist, whatever. (Of course blogging about being a Mom is just fine too, if that's what you enjoy.) But whatever you choose to be, it does need to be something you're proud of. Again, think of it like a really noticeable tattoo. You better like it and be comfortable with it, because that's what everybody is gonna see and associate with you. Getting a domain name is a good place to start. Although Facebook and YouTube and Tumblr and Pinterest have their own merit and spaces, the big deal is a website listed in the search engines. It's says I'm here, I'm for real. Here's some examples. If you're name is Rikki Mouskawics, then you've been blessed with a rare uniqueness. Your own name itself is valuable, because Google doesn't know of anyone else online claiming that nameness. So, at this point it's easy. Go get a dotcom, Facebook account, YouTube channel, etc in your name. And we'll go into this in detail below. If, however, your name is John Smith, welcome to the club. Pretty sure JohnSmith.com is taken. Google has over 400 hundred million unique references for John Smith, including wrestlers, mormons, and murderers :) How are you going to stand out. Could you use your initials? Or, use your middle name too? For example, JAllenSmith.com. Or a moniker added on like JohnSmithHipster.com or JohnSmithMacDaddy.com or JohnSmith007.com or JohnTheLawnDude.com or JohnTheTaxGuy.com. Remember, make sure it's something you like, but also easy for others to remember and spell. JohnS34345 is not good for anything, including an email address. Drop it. This is a good time to brainstorm. Write down ideas on paper. Even ask a friend for an initial reaction. Don't worry about buying dotcom domains if you're not serious. But, if you do find the right dotcom, then don't wait, grab it. Because good domain names disappear quickly. There's lots of registrars online, but I usually use 1and1.com, GoDaddy.com, HostGator.com. They always have sales too, so google "domain names" and you'll probably see the latest offers. Fast way to check available names: www.InstantDomainSearch.com I like to start with searching for a dotcom (.com) first, because it's still the first suffix most people think of when they think of a website. I also like to google what other dotcoms are in that space already. Meaning, the first page of Google is extremely valuable real estate. If there's already similar names or businesses listed there, then it's crowded, and you might need to keep thinking of ideas for unique names. Obviously, there's a lot more to discuss regarding Search Engine Optimization or Search Engine Marketing, but for now, the simplest answer is try to pick a dotcom name that is your name, a variation of your name, your exact business name, or a description of your business or interest. IS IT WORTH BUYING? For example, even if you are an estate planning attorney and your business name is John Doe at Law; it's still a good idea to have an online name such as ChicagoEstatePlanning.com. You might also have JohnDoeLaw.com too. It's ok to have more than one website, just as long as you tie the brand together. Or, you might want two different websites to appeal to different market segments. Retail stores do this all the time with outlets. Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. Nike and Nike Outlet. You may also do this different locations. Pizza Shop Westville and Pizza Shop Eastville. A domain is like raw land. The value is location, and how it's developed. Domain names are like raw land. The value is in its location, and how its developed. If your city is growing North, and there's an intersection just north of the city, it's reasonable to bet the land around that intersection is going to become more valuable. If you bought it, you could profit later on by selling it at a higher price, or developing a business there which produced annual revenues. Unfortunately this is old news, and many cyber squatters have already bought up lots of good domain names. But, with a little imagination, you can still get a great name. Now that ICANN (international internet regulatory body) is making more TLDs (Top Level Domains) available, like .me, .name, .us, .co, etc., there's even more options to be creative. For example, JohnSmith.me or JAllenSmith.name. Just google for a domain registrar which provides the option to purchase different suffixes/extensions. For example, NameCheap may have .me but not .name available. So check 1and1 and GoDaddy too. Also, there may be a lot of new extensions coming in the future, so keep watch, because it is often fast-action-takers who are rewarded. Plus, sometimes domains do not get renewed, or they are put up for sale on sites like Flippa or Sedo. Money talks right. So there are always options, for the right price. JUST FEEL THE MUSIC I doubt many would have thought the domain TomShoes was that significant. But, it's actually a great name. It's easy to remember. There's not a lot of other shoe stores out there with similar names. And Tom had a great story, told it well, and so people remember what TomShoes is about. So if you want to find it on Google, it's pretty easy to remember what to type in. That's what you need to think about with selecting your brand name. What would people type in Google to find me? For example, if you have a side business selling herbal tea, and your legal business name is Jane Doe Enterprises LLC, you probably don't want your online brand to be Jane Doe Enterprises. (Unless you're planning to be the next Martha Stewart.) Branding is your first impression. Marketing is your relationship. Without a good first impression, you probably won't get a chance to start a relationship. Generally, you would want something like OrganicHerbalTea or NaturalHerbalTea or JanesHerbalTea. You could even get specific like KombuchaTea or NaturalKombucha. But something like JanesHerbs might be too broad. Tea is an herb, true, but you're not selling herbs. You're selling tea. So distinguish your tea. WickedTea might work. It's intriguing. Or put a spin on a common phrase or pop culture reference. For example, ShadesOfTea, or SenoraTea. You could even choose a name which suggests the solution to a problem, say MenopauseTea. It's a real niche. But that's very specific. And this is still ok, if you want to have several niche websites which all direct searchers back to your main site. But this is more SEM strategy and probably not the most effective presently. So, again, don't go crazy buying a bunch of domain names at first. It's best to find one good name which distinguishes you, and has good raw potential to be developed. Google ranks websites based upon their perceived value to the searcher. If you develop your site by offering good information which people are looking for, then Google wants to rank your site higher, making it easier for people to find. So, even though the name is important, it's what you do with it that matters most. TomsShoes is a fine name, but who cares. What's better about Toms shoes verses JennysShoes? The point is branding is very important, but it's not everything. Marketing your brand comes next, and is just as important, perhaps more important. But Branding and Marketing work together. Branding is your first impression. Marketing is your relationship. Without a good first impression, you probably won't get a chance to start a relationship. So, it's worth the effort and time to carefully select a brand name that is unique, descriptive, easy to remember, and search engine friendly. Don't lose common sense just because it's the Internet. Creating an appealing looking brand is not genetic. You're gene pool doesn't matter. Hooray! Anyone can create a stunning brand online. However, good taste does matter. And, unfortunately, not everyone has good taste. So, if you suck at matching ties and socks, please get some help creating your brand. It's part science and part art. Understanding human behavior, especially emotional and psychological triggers helps. But don't overthink it. If you're selling cars, then yes, your brand better create an allure. But if you're selling bricks and molded concrete, then just naming it sexybricks.com is not really going to provide the magic chemistry. So, branding online has many of the same fundamentals has branding offline. It's got to work in real life. Don't lose common sense just because it's the internet. What do you know about great brands from your everyday life. What magazine ads do you like? What billboards catch your eye? Why do some family dentistry ads appeal more than others? Think about your audience. It's not your opinion that's most important. You're favorite color might be olive green. Fine. But why is the top selling car colors white, black, and red? Be willing to understand the sentiments of your target market. Who is your ideal customer? What kind of branding does your competition do? Could you emulate parts of it? Have you ever noticed that many national brands are similar, except one is the blue team and one is the red team and one is the green team? Microsoft spent over a year and millions of dollars to come up with the word 'bing.' They needed people all over the world to like it. Understand your audience, buyers, followers, etc. Keep it simple. The less clutter the better. Use universally appealing colors, words, sounds, etc. If you're not sure, ask. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So be confident enough to ask for help. FUDGERY NOT FORGERY At this point you should have a name picked out for yourself, or at least a few good name ideas. Unfortunately, the domain name you really want may not be available. So have a few backup names. Because it's not as simple as just purchasing a domain name from GoDaddy. We also have to see what's available on Google+, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. It's important to have as many as possible of the big social media sites under your brand. So, for example, if someone searches for your brand directly within Facebook or YouTube they will find your branded Facebook page or YouTube Channel. It would be ideal for your brand name to be the exact match, letter for letter, of your website domain name, Facebook page, Twitter account, YouTube channel etc. But, before you spasm, just breath. You're allowed a little leeway here. Most people can figure out if they're at the right YouTube channel if you've branded it properly. For example, www.JohnSmith.com and JohnnySmith on YouTube would be ok. The key here is weaving the various social media sites together into one cohesive brand. If there's already 200 people with the same name on Facebook and YouTube, then you're gonna have to be creative here. If you still want to use your name, you may be forced to use a moniker or nickname, at least until people associate the name with you. Nobody does this better than the fine folks of Los Angeles. Beyonce, Pink, Madonna, Slash, Eminem, Jack Black, even John Wayne and Marilyn Monroe. How many musicians and actors have stage (fake) names? Answer: 92% That's right, I just made that up. But we all know it. They do it because it works. It's just part of branding. The Internet never forgets! So a moniker or stage name is perfectly fine. Maybe even mandatory. But make sure it's uniquely yours. If you make enough noise too close to someone else's turf, you invite trouble. Sorry to spoil the party, but if a neighbor calls the cops, you better drop that joint fast. Keeping it legal can be a real downer. But anything valuable is worth protecting. An established brand is a warm shelter for people. It's their provision, it's important and personal. So be yourself, be creative, and borrow ideas from others, but don't steal their stuff or peace, or infringe upon their establishment. Yes, the defining line between idea imitation and copyright violation can be mirky. One's legal, one's not. If you think that changing your name to JamesBond is a cool idea, then you better have a judge sign the order. Using JohnSmith007 for your Facebook profile and YouTube channel is probably fine for messing around with a hobby biz, or entertaining friends and family. But if your intention is to build up a real online brand on that name, your success could be your downfall. Using the moniker to get attention could eventually get the attention of the real license holder for 007. Ala cease and desist. So unless your stated business is Weird Al style lampooning, come up with something unique. And, don't be afraid to seek legal advice. If it's important to you, then start right. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Did I already say that? It's worth repeating, because the internet never forgets.

The key to Snapchat is to understand that it should be part of a broader strategy. That is to say that you’re going to need to promote yourself on other channels as well before you can start diverting people to Snapchat. And essentially this will work by creating your audience on those channels – such as Facebook or Twitter – and then sharing your Snapchat to those channels. So for example, you can create a video and then share it to Twit-ter and Instagram, as well as saving it as your story and sending it to your friends (we’ll talk about how to do this later). This then lets people who are following you on Facebook and on Twitter see what you’re posting on Snapchat and the idea there is of course that they’ll think it looks interesting and therefore want to follow you. You simply need to upload the video (we’ll look at how to do this later) and then add the comment ‘Add me on Snapchat for more of my adventures’… for exam-ple. Someone who does this very well at the moment is Arnold Schwarzeneg-ger. Arnold is someone who has really grasped the idea of social media and who is using it in very smart ways to build a bigger audience and to gain new fans and followers. He has a huge Facebook page, Instagram ac-count and more – but perhaps the channel he promotes most often is his Instagram. Recently, Arnie posts a picture of himself cycling in a new city and said that he never accepted the excuse that people ‘don’t have time to exercise’. He followed this by saying he goes for a bike ride as the first thing he does every time he gets to a new city and that he shares that ride with his Snap-chat followers. Other times, he will post videos of himself talking at events, meeting other famous people and generally just doing interesting things that his fans might want to see. They then get updated with his exploits and feel like they’re getting almost privileged access to his lifestyle and activities. Every now and then he shares these videos on Facebook and so his followers see that if they want to get more unique and personal content, they need to get onto Snapchat. For those experienced internet marketers reading this, you’ll recognize that this is essentially a sales funnel and those people now following him will be even more loyal to the brand. Remember: it takes ‘five touches’ to sell someone something. So if you have seen someone on TV > liked them on Facebook > started following them on Snapchat… then you’re already three touches in! Facebook is one way to do this but there are several other social media channels that are particularly well suited to promoting Snapchat. Instagram is one great example because it already allows you to share short videos. Another good option for the same reason is Vine. Other Methods and Techniques for Building Viewers There are of course other ways you can build a bigger audience too. One example is to simply promote yourself on your own blog or website. This is just how email marketing often works – with marketers promoting their mail-ing list on their blogs and often including an opt-in form right with each post, or otherwise in one of the sidebars. Likewise, you can grow or promote your Snapchat through any other chan-nel. A good example is YouTube – simply state at the end of your videos that you have a Snapchat channel where you post more exclusive content for your biggest fans and try to make it sound exciting! Another tool that you can use and that is popular in all kinds of marketing, is influencer marketing. This simply means that you’re teaming up with other influencers and sharing your audience. For example, you might make a short video with another prominent personality on Snapchat and then mention the channel of that person in your own video. Likewise, they might do the same for you, letting you appear in one of their videos/photos and promoting your account in the process. To make this work, you need to ensure that you approach creators who are at the same level as you and in the same niche. In other words, if you have a fitness channel and you sell fitness apparel, then you need to make sure that you work with other fitness personalities on Snapchat – otherwise their followers won’t be interested in following you! Likewise, you need to avoid approaching the biggest names in the industry (like Arnie) because they get millions of messages a day and won’t be likely to respond to your requests. If you have 2,000 followers, then approach someone else with 2,000 follow-ers. Then, when you’ve done that a few times and you have 5,000 follow-ers, you can start approaching people with 5,000 followers! Think of it like a ladder and try to head toward the top one rung at a time. Monetizing Finally, you get to monetize your channel or just use it to strengthen your brand. You’ve built the audience but unlike, say Pinterest, there is no shop built into Snapchat. What’s the point of building such a big following? Well, in the case of someone like Arnie, the end result is simply to strengthen the brand. If Arnold can get people to follow his daily exploits on Snapchat and see his updates from behind the scenes, then those same followers will be much more likely to go and see his new films when they come out in theaters. They will feel like bigger fans, simply as a by-product of following him. The same can work for you if you have a blog, a YouTube channel or any other kind of channel that you want to promote in order to generate sales. This can also be a good way to build trust and authority, to establish your-self as a leading expert in your given niche so that people will be more likely to listen to you when you recommend a product or try and sell your services. And finally, you can of course use a Snapchat video or image to sell things directly. A good way to do this for instance might be with a review, whereby you can review a product and then share the link where your audience can go and buy it should they be interested. And because you have a 90% open rate and you’re communicating with them in a very direct manner, with all the advantages of video… you can get some pretty impressive conversion rates and drive a lot of sales this way. In short, it is very much worth your time putting in that initial work up front in order to get people to follow you and to be interested in what you’re post-ing! Chapter 3: Finding Your Way Around Snap-chat’s Basic Features Now you know the basics of how you should be using Snapchat, the next question is how you go about actually putting that into action. What does it physically involve in order for you to post those videos, share them on other channels and grow your audience? Getting Set Up The first thing you’ll need to do is to download Snapchat as an app for ei-ther the iPhone or Android. There is unfortunately no desktop version of Snapchat and no website that does the same thing, thus the only way to use it is by using the app. Once you have the app on your device, the next thing you need to do is to log in or sign up. The new Snapchat has a pretty polished and impressive looking introduction now, which features a plain white interface with your silhouette in the background, picked up by the camera. Signing up is quick and painless. You might need to type in a phone num-ber, but Snapchat won’t share this with other users. You may also be asked to pass a verification process involving asking a question. On the next screen, you’ll have the option to ‘Find Friends’, which is common with many apps of this nature. You can find friends using numbers in your address book and it’s a good idea to add the people you know – they can be your first followers!

But the next question you need to answer is how you’re going to make this work for you. Having an ecommerce store is great in theory but it’s what you do with it that really counts! And as it happens, there’s no ‘right way’ to run an ecommerce store. This book is aimed at everyone from small business owners, to hobbyists who just want to run a store as a side project. The way that both types of seller goes about creating and running their business will of course vary, so find the relevant heading here that applies to you and see how you can fit an ecommerce store into your existing business… For High Street Stores If you already have a highstreet store, then the good news is that you’re already in the perfect position to start taking full advantage of ecommerce. You already have inventory, you already have a niche and you probably already have a website. Adding ecommerce is simply the next logical sense. By creating an online store, you can give your customers the ability to order your products online which will increase your turnover and also give you a much bigger potential audience. What’s more is that you can use your physical store to promote your ecommerce store and vice versa. It’s important you do this correctly though. You’ll need an ecommerce store that will automatically synchronize with your physical store so that the inventory is updated when products are bought online or in store. Ideally, you’ll want to find a solution that lets you use your EPOS (electronic point of sale) to automatically update the stock with no work on your part. As a Side Business If you are in work and you want to try setting up your own ecommerce store, then you’ll be starting from scratch. The good news is that any income you add to your existing income will be ‘extra’ meaning that this can be a very ‘small scale’ business model and you won’t need to worry about trying to run the business on a massive scale or making a fortune from day one. With that in mind, you can identify a type of product you want to sell, create a website and a store and invest in a small amount of inventory. Or perhaps you even want to make your own products? Either way, you can then simply invest more money each time you sell off what you have while keeping a little extra for yourself. You can also use an eBay store and social media to help your sales and possibly run a blog to handle content marketing. For Bloggers and Marketers If you’re a blogger or marketer, then you might already have an audience and a platform from which to sell your products. This is simply a matter of adding a store onto your existing business in that case and then promoting it to your email list, your visitors and anyone else that you can influence. This business will start with you identifying a type or product that fits into your niche and then choosing an ecommerce platform to suit your store. You might decide to also remove AdSense or affiliate products from your site in order to focus more attention on your own store for maximum profits. Some Examples of Ecommerce Business Models So those are some basic models for your ecommerce stores. The next question is how you might apply them in the real world. Here are some imaginary scenarios to help you visualize what this might look like… Clothes Reseller A very simple and easy business model if you’re looking to make money from home as a side business, is to become a reseller. What this means is that you’re buying stock and then simply reselling it for a little more. To do that, you will normally be buying in wholesale. So let’s say you choose to sell clothes from home, this might mean that you buy 100 shirts for $600 ($6 each) and then sell them off at $12 each. This is called ‘keystone pricing’ and it’s a fairly standard pricing system for a lot of wholesalers and manufacturers. Even if you only sell half, you’ll have broken even. Ideally though, you will aim to sell all of them, giving you $600 profit. You may choose to keep $400 of that and then reinvest $200 so that you can order $800 of stock next time for $1,600 turnover. Over time your ‘pot’ will grow. This then allows you to invest some money into marketing (Google AdWords or Facebook Ads for instance) and to diversify your line with different types of shirt and other items of clothing. But right from the word go you can start making money from your store by selling to friends and also by selling some of your stock on eBay. This is all much easier though if you also try to focus on a specific niche and give your store some kind of focus to set you apart. For example, you might sell shirts aimed at a particular demographic (plus sized women, entrepreneurs, gay men) or you might sell shirts that have all have something in common (they’re easy to iron, they’re light and cool, they’re bright colors). With a something that sets you apart and helps you appeal to a particular audience, it’s more likely your adverts, your social media posts and your listings will get noticed. Blogger With Ebooks As we’ll see in more detail later in this book, you don’t need to limit yourself to selling physical products. You can actually just as easily sell digital products like ebooks and even software through and ecommerce store. So if you have a blog that is currently selling a single ebook from a sales page, you might consider branching out and selling multiple books from an online store. This way you’ll look like a much bigger business and people will be able to browse what you have on offer at their leisure. This also means you can use things like special offers, deals and more to promote specific books and you can place adverts for your books around your site instead of using AdSense. What’s more is that you can even start using things like apps and plugins to sell your books in more inventive ways. You can embed your ecommerce store right into your Facebook page for example for more direct monetization of your social media efforts! Where to Find Products to Sell No matter what your business though, you’re going to need something to sell. Here are some ways you can stock up a shop, even if you aren’t fortunate enough to own your own manufacturing plant… 3D Printing This is a surprisingly viable option these days. If you have a 3D printer, or if you’re happy to use a website like Shaeways (www.shapeways.com) then you can sell plastic or metal objects with nothing more than a 3D model file. That might mean you sell phone cases, jewellery, ornaments or even toys! Wholesale As mentioned, you can sell products by finding wholesalers and buying in bulk. There are other ways you can be a reseller too – such as adding value yourself by packaging products nicely or just finding them very cheap somewhere.

Sample Content Preview Different Monetizing Methods In this section, what I want to put focus on is the different ways that you can promote your offer once and earn residual traffic on autopilot. This is important because you don't want to be investing too much time on promotion, and then end up falling behind on actually creating new content and valuable for your members. Sell Ad Space You could also consider offering advertising space within your member’s center, once your subscriber’s base has grown. This way, you could monetize “un-used” space within your member’s center by allowing third party merchants to promote their products and services to your community. If you run a members forum, you could also consider integrating promotional banners and allocated ad spaces that feature affiliate based products. If you run a newsletter (and you should), you could also offer solo ad campaigns to advertisers who are interested in gaining exposure at affordable rates. Just be sure to adjust your advertising prices as your community grows and your overall ad campaigns become more valuable. Renewals System Recurring income is one of the best parts of running a membership website, and something that many other types of online businesses lack. Just remember, while first time subscribers certainly breathe life into a membership website, renewals keep it alive. Make sure to consistently remain active within your community and to do your best to provide high quality, exclusive material to your subscriber base on a regular basis. Feature An Affiliate Program You will also want to incorporate an affiliate program into your membership website, so that both visitors and subscribers are able to generate commissions from every referred sale they make. When structuring your affiliate program, focus on offering a very appealing commission percentage; in order to recruit active affiliates who will help you jumpstart your marketing campaigns. Different companies pay different percentages and amounts for leads and sales. The differences paid for a sale can range from 75% down to 1% depending on the company and the product. What you decide to pay your affiliates will depend entirely upon what you are selling and to whom you are selling it. A good idea would be to check what other companies selling a product comparable to yours is paying their affiliates. However, how much you pay your Affiliates really depends on how much your product/service costs, its profit margin, how much you're willing to give up and what action you want to take place. When running an affiliate program, you will want to make sure that your current membership script or software is able to effectively track all sales and leads, as well as provide detailed information to affiliates (including overall earnings, stats, payment dates, etc). You could also actively join affiliate programs that are focused on your niche market yourself, and incorporate your affiliate links into a “Recommended Websites” page, so that you are able to maximize earnings by promoting third party products and related websites. For example, if you run a membership based website focusing on golf training, you could feature affiliate products that include golf gear, advanced lessons, physical books and even video tutorials. This way, you can maximize your income by featuring affiliate-based tools, resources and materials that you are not offering yourself, without having to advertise competing membership websites. Just make sure that the products or services you are recommending are relevant to your overall theme. List /Email Promotions Apart from allowing advertises to purchase email based advertisements, you could also monetize your subscriber mailing list by sending out promotional emails that showcase affiliate products, as well as your own special offers. Consider creating a special bundle that features new content, relevant to your membership site, and making it available as an upgrade only to existing members. When it comes to building a profitable, highly monetized membership community, you need to remain consistently active. This doesn't mean that you need to dedicate every hour of your day building your community, in fact, you can outsource the majority of the work to experienced freelance writers and developers, but what it does mean is that you need to play an important role in defining your community.

If you have established that a specific market is actively purchasing and subscribing to similar membership websites, you need to determine your unique point of entry. How can you create a community of your own that offers something different than what other membership sites are offering? How can you offer distinct value in your own membership program? You need to set yourself apart from other membership sites in the marketplace by first defining your USP, and then creating a membership website that clearly demonstrates how you are different, how your members benefit by being part of your community, and why they should choose you over the competition. Your USP could be as simple as the delivery methods that you offer, or the format in which your content is made available. For example, if you find a competing membership website offering ebook-only products to their members, consider offering both ebook and video or audio based versions of the information products that you create. Since people prefer to learn in different ways, by offering many different formats for your training tools, you are able to cater to a wider audience while separating yourself from the competition. 3) Do You Have The Ability To Provide Quality Information And Resources To This Market That Aren’t Already Being Offered? Just because you've confirmed that a market is a viable one doesn't mean that you will be able to create a successful membership site for that market, unless you have the ability to create content that your subscribers will be interested in paying for. Consider the costs of outsourcing content for different markets, as the more popular a topic is, the greater the number of freelancers to choose from. If your topic is too focused or specific, you might find it difficult to locate qualified freelancers who have enough experience to produce quality content for your site. Developing a membership website that offers specialized content is a great way to develop a USP (unique selling proposition) so that you can stand out in the market and attract subscribers. 4) Is Your Theme Or Topic Considered “Evergreen”? Evergreen topics include subject matter that will still be in demand years from now. These topics aren’t based on fads or temporary hot topics, but rather on stable, longterm markets that have proven to be viable over a long period of time. Markets that are considered evergreen include weight loss, parenting, employment, finance, credit, health topics and even sports or hobbies. It's important that your membership site is designed around a viable topic so that you can build a long-term membership program. After all is said and done, you want to focus on a scalable community base that can consistently grow and maximize your overall income, and if you base your membership website around a short-term topic, you will struggle to retain subscribers after the initial buzz wears off. More Important Factors To Consider You want to make sure that your membership site will attract enough subscribers to justify the time and work involved in consistently updating the community with fresh content that above all, provides value to your members. Here are a few other things to consider: 1) Will you be able to come up with fresh ideas for future updates to ensure that your website stays fresh? 2) Is your market scalable with the potential for ongoing growth? Can you offer upgrade options to further maximize your income, or are products and your overall scope extremely limited? 3) Is your target audience able to solve their problems quickly (making it difficult to retain subscribers), or is your potential topic able to expand so that you can cater to a large-scale, ever-growing community? These are just a few things to keep in mind when choosing your membership theme. Once you have a general idea as to your membership theme, take it one step further by identifying what you are personally interested in or experienced with that could add additional value to your community program. • Are you experienced with a specific instrument? • Are you trained in specific programs or software? • Are you experienced with popular hobbies or sports? • Are you knowledgeable regarding a specialized topic in a ‘desperate’ market? The best membership sites involve frequent activity from the administrator so the more active you are within your membership community, the easier it will be to develop a relationship with your subscriber base and encourage member loyalty. This means that you want your membership theme to be something that you are personally interested in or have experience with. You'll also find it easier to develop content for your site if you have a genuine interest in the topic. The more focused your website is, the easier it will be to tap into your niche market and determine exactly what your target audience is interested in and provide it to them. If your membership site is too generic or broad, you will have trouble tailoring your content to what the majority of your members base is looking for. If you struggle to pin down a topic for your membership website, consider exploring the digital marketplaces where you can quickly evaluate potential topics and see what is currently selling.

Sample Content Preview Who Are You Trying To Reach Before you start marketing your Internet businesses in the ways we are going to discuss, you need to think about who your audience is. There are lots of ways to market your business for free, but depending on your audience you may not need to use all of them. For example, if you have a product that is aimed at retired people, the chances are you won’t find too many of them on social networking sites. Always know exactly who you are trying to reach from the outset; that way you won’t waste any time using methods that aren’t going to give you a good enough return. In other words, a small amount of time spent figuring out who you are looking for and where you are likely to find them will pay huge dividends later on. So with that said, let’s move on to the next step you need to think about. Putting A Plan Together When an Internet marketer is investing money in a marketing campaign, they tend to put a lot of effort into it. After all, they want to be sure they are going to see a good return on their investment. But when it comes to marketing a business online for free, some people just don’t put enough effort into it. It’s understandable – after all, you aren’t putting any cash on the line so it doesn’t really matter if you do something and it doesn’t work. It also doesn’t matter if you forget to do something or you skip a stage when you are too busy with other things. But you need to think differently. You need to take the same professional approach to a free marketing campaign as you would if it was going to cost you $10,000. Not only will you learn a lot by doing this, but your business will thank you for it too. So start having a think about what you are aiming to achieve with your free marketing efforts. Start thinking about how you could develop your business in this way. And as you read through the rest of this report, you will soon find yourself starting to come up with fresh ideas and plans that could make you a decent amount of money in the weeks and months to come. Use Social Networks To Promote Your Business They are free (for the most part, at least, and certainly for our purposes) and they are easily able to accommodate people who have an interest in a specific subject and want to share that with like minded people. So for example, you might have a website that regularly sells USB gadgets. And of course you would be fascinated by all the different USB gadgets that are on the market, wouldn’t you? So why not share your thoughts and knowledge with all the other people out there who like the same thing and have a growing selection of them themselves? You will be able to have a link to your website on most social networking sites – in fact they usually have a specific place where they ask you to type in the URL if you have one! That’s fine by them – but what they don’t like is blatant advertising. But you aren’t going to do that. All you are going to do is share your fascinations and interests with people. They will naturally follow you onto your website anyway, so you won’t even need to try and sell to them. Can you see how effective these social networking sites can be for finding potential new customers? Lots of businesses do this and it doesn’t cost you anything to get it started. You do need to invest some time in it to get the best results though, and this is where planning ahead really helps. Remember what I said just now about planning your free marketing efforts? This is exactly what I am talking about. You can put in just a few minutes a day on this, so we’re not talking about taking on a full time task here. But you need to be doing this regularly so that people will come to realize you are around on a regular basis. When they realize this they will be more likely to follow you and what you have to say – and that can be a very important step towards turning them into a future customer. What Kind of Site Are your Potential Customers Going To Frequent? This is another example of why it is worth spending that little bit more time thinking about how you are going to proceed with your free marketing plans. Ask yourself this question. When you think about social networking sites, what is the first one that comes to mind? Now unless you already happen to be using another one, I can virtually guarantee that your answer will be either Twitter or Facebook. That’s understandable, because these are the main two contenders that everyone knows about. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be the ones that are ideal for finding the people you are looking for. So investigate ALL the possibilities before diving in, and don’t spread yourself too thinly either. You are always going to be better off concentrating on using just one or two sites and really making a mark there, at least to begin with.
