This makes video tutorials extremely profitable and with platforms like Vimeo and YouTube, it’s easy to quickly build a channel and generate quality traffic quickly (and at little to no cost). To begin, consider the type of content you would like to create, particularly what skills or knowledge you possess that could be turned into video-tutorial content. Then, spend some time reviewing existing video tutorials in that niche on YouTube in order to get familiar with the style, tone and voice that established creators are offering to their audiences. This is when you’ll also want to decide on your overall video tutorial format, such as whether you’ll create an explainer video, presentation-style video, or perhaps a screencast video. The more you research your market, the easier it will be to come up with creative ideas that will attract viewers, so dedicate a bit of time to exploring popular channels. You will also want to create a storyboard or script that guides you through the video. This will minimize errors and help your video flow so that people stay engaged. Next, you’ll want to purchase a bit of equipment in order to create high-quality videos, but you don’t have to go all out. You can get started with just a high-quality microphone and a screen-capture software program such as: Snagit or Camtasia, two of the most popular tools used by both beginners and professionals alike. If you’d like to explore this side hustle further, here’s a great step-by-step guide to getting started (it’s free!): https://www.techsmith.com/blog/instructional-videos/ Offer Online Training Similar to creating video tutorials based on your knowledge and skills, you can take things a step further by creating online courses and training programs. Students will pay for access to your training which can be delivered a number of ways including through one of the popular course platforms like https://www.Teachable.com or https://www.Thinkrific.com When it comes to creating your training material, you can choose to develop video-based lessons, text lessons or a combination of both. The preferred format should be based on your market and what they are looking for so you’ll want to spend some time researching your niche, including existing courses based on your chosen topic. Courses are big business! People are earning millions of dollars a year just by offering simple courses that help people learn a new skill. Your course doesn’t have to be all that extensive either. In fact, often times, less is more because students only want to spend their time learning the most necessary steps or components in order to achieve their goals.

Sample Content Preview For men, the physical ideal has also shifted. Just look at the leading men in any Marvel movie, with their elaborately sculped muscles, as compared to the biggest stars of the 1950s. Certainly, celebrities such as James Dean and Marlon Brando were fit and handsome, but they didn’t spend hours in the gym or eat highly specific diets under the watchful eye of trainers and nutritionists as today’s impossibly lean and muscular stars do. Studies show that both men and women are worried about their appearance. Estimates suggest that around 70% of women aged 18-30 don’t like their body, and around 50% try to control their weight with unhealthy behaviors. Among men, 43% don’t like their body and body dissatisfaction is growing among men.   A positive body image is important for a happy, healthy, well-adjusted life. A negative body image harms physical and mental health and can hold us back from achieving our dreams. Read on for more about how our body image is formed in childhood and adolescence. Body Image in Childhood and the Teen Years As infants, our first job is to figure out how our body works. At first, we can’t even lift our heads, but soon we are crawling, walking, and then running around, getting into mischief. Soon after we start learning to move our bodies, we start absorbing messages about which bodies are good, and which are bad. Studies show that children as young as three may start to worry about their weight. While humans have always valued beauty – a walk through any art gallery will teach you that – today’s concern about body weight is newly intense and is affecting children at younger and younger ages. In 1970, the average age that girls began dieting was 14, but by 1990, that age had dropped to 8. By age 10, more than 80% of girls have been on a diet. As well as worrying about their own weight, young children also start to judge others based on weight. Elementary school students who are obese are 65% more likely to bullied by their peers, and those who are overweight are 13% more likely to be bullied. While children are worried about their appearance at earlier ages than ever before, puberty is still the worst time for liking one’s body. The average person’s body image hits an all-time low between the ages of 12 and 15, and self-esteem drops along with it. Studies show that by the teen years, many girls will give up many activities such as going to the beach, playing sports, or even speaking in public, because of concerns about their appearance. Along with the decrease in body image during adolescence comes an increased risk of eating disorders. Most eating disorders begin during the teen years. Even among teens who do not have a full-fledged eating disorder, unhealthy eating patterns are common. Half of teen girls and a third of teen boys fast, binge, or use smoking, laxatives or excessive exercise to control their weight. Evidence shows that media, including movies, television, magazines, and social media, is a big contributor to teen’s body dissatisfaction. Studies show that the more time young women spent on social media, the more likely they are to have a poor body image. When teens read articles about dieting and weight loss, girls are six times more likely to engage in unhealthy eating, while boys are four times more likely. Over 90% of teenage girls feel that the media pressures them to be thin. While 65% think that fashion models are too thin, 46% strive to look like the images they see in fashion magazines. Gender and Body Image Body image issues affect people of all genders. While many people assume that women are more affected by messages about their weight and appearance than boys, this is changing. In the early 1990s, 15% of teenage boys were unhappy about their bodies. This has increased to around 45% today. A recent study of college-age men found that over 90% of them had at least one part of their body that they didn’t like. In today’s society, boys are caught between wanting to be thinner and wanting to be more muscular. For that reason, body image issues can show up differently in men than women. Many boys turn to the gym to gain muscle and fall into patterns of disordered eating and excess exercise. To make matters worse, men are less likely to seek help for body image issues, even when their health is seriously impacted. Boys and men make up one third of those with eating disorders, and men and women suffer from body dysmorphia in equal numbers, but males are much less likely to seek help. For any one of any gender, a negative body image can lead to a lack of self-esteem and self-confidence, and an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. If you aren’t happy with your body, it’s important to know that help is available. If body image issues are seriously affecting your life, talk to your doctor or call the National Eating Disorders hotline at (800) 931-2237. For more ways to improve your body image, read on. Steps to Overcoming a Negative Body Image If you struggle with a negative body image, improving it will also help improve your physical and mental health and wellbeing, increase your self-esteem and self-confidence, and make it easier to developing meaningful connections to the people around you. If you are ready to start improving your body image, there are some tools below that may be helpful. 

Sample Content Preview How Diabetes Is Diagnosed Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed with several tests that show your blood sugar levels. Your doctor will test you if you show symptoms of diabetes. Many doctors will also conduct regular blood sugar tests as part of your annual check-ups. This is important since in its early stages, type 2 diabetes may not show symptoms, or the symptoms may be very mild. You should talk to your doctor about routine diabetes screening if you: Have a body mass index (BMI) over 25 (23 if you are of Asian descent) and have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, are sedentary, have a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or have a family history of diabetes.  Are older than 45. If your initial test is clear, retests are advised every three years.  Have a history of gestational diabetes. Have prediabetes with mildly high blood sugar.  Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests. The most common test is a glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test, which measures your average blood sugar level. An A1C level of 6.5% on two separate tests means that you have diabetes, an A1C level between 5.7 and 6.4% shows prediabetes, and less than 5.7 is a normal reading. In some cases, your doctor may also recommend a random blood sugar test, a fasting blood sugar test, or an oral glucose tolerance test.  If your doctor suspects that you might have type 1 diabetes rather than type 2 diabetes, you will need urine tests for specific byproducts that are produced in the kidneys of people with type 1 diabetes.  If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, it’s important to make lifestyle changes as soon as possible to prevent diabetes. The same lifestyle changes are needed with diabetes, and your doctor may also recommend some medications.   How to Control Diabetes The first step in treating diabetes is to become educated on diabetes management. Ask your doctor for a referral to a certified diabetes educator, a registered dietitian, or a diabetes education program in your area. Many hospitals and health centers have diabetes courses, and some insurance providers also provide online courses about diabetes. The more you know about your condition, the more you will be able to take charge of your health. You will need to improve your diet, commit to regular physical activity, and may need medication. The good news is, with these changes, most people can manage their diabetes and may even be able to achieve normal blood sugar levels without requiring medicine. Diet Dietary changes are the number one way to help prevent, treat, and manage type 2 diabetes. Our blood sugar levels are directly connected to what kinds of foods we eat, how much we eat, and when we eat. If you are newly diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes, it’s important to learn everything you can about how to change your diet to improve your condition. Your doctor can refer you to a diabetes educator or registered dietitian who can help you make changes tailored to your lifestyle, tastes, and medical needs. Working with a professional is the best way to make sure that your diet works for you.   Fortunately, the dietary changes that help you manage diabetes will also help prevent obesity, as well as lowering your risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers. In other words, a diabetes diet involves (with a few specific tweaks) the same healthy eating principles that your whole family should adopt.  The amount that you need to eat each day depends on your current weight, activity level, health, gender, and weight-loss goals (if any). Suggested daily intake can range from 1200 to 3000 calories a day. A dietitian can explain how much you should be eating based on your personal situation. As for what to eat, eat plenty of:  Fruits and vegetables. The fiber and nutrients in fruits and veggies helps fuel your body and keep you full. However, most fruits and some vegetables are high in carbohydrates, and you may need to limit how many carbohydrates you eat. Speak to your dietician about exactly how many fruits and vegetables you should eat in a day.  Whole grains. Whole grains such as oats, brown rice, whole wheat, rye and barley contain fiber and nutrients that can help manage blood sugar. Whole grains do contain carbohydrates, and you may need to control how many portions you have in a day. Again, speak to a dietitian about the right amount for you.  Lean protein. Protein helps build muscles and keep you full. Good lean protein sources include poultry, lean pork, oily fish such as salmon and mackerel, and legumes. In addition to being an excellent vegetarian source of protein, legumes also contain plenty of fiber.  Healthy fats. It’s important to consume moderate amounts of healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds. Low-fat dairy foods, which offer protein and minerals that help keep your bones strong. 

Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 01 - Getting Started As An Affiliate Chapter 02 - How To Choose A Clickbank Product To Promote? Chapter 03 - Your Hoplink Chapter 04 - How To Market An Affiliate Product Using A Website? Chapter 05 - How Will People Find Your Site? Conclusion Sample Content Preview So to explain to you how to get started in affiliate marketing, we are going to use Clickbank as an example, although there are many other reputable affiliate companies as well, such as paydotcom, Commission Junction, Pepperjam, and countless others. To sign up as an affiliate at clickbank, all you have to do is go to their home page at www.clickbank.com. At the top of the page, you will see a link that says “sign up”, and you click on that link to create your affiliate account. When you sign up, you need to give Clickbank your physical address, because they will be mailing you a check for your commission. They do not currently have an option to pay via paypal, but they HAVE just introduced a direct to bank account system. This makes things a whole lot easier if you live outside the US. They will also ask you to choose a nickname. This nickname is how you get your commissions, because you are going to include it in a link called a hoplink. Don’t worry it’s not madly complicated – this is just a web address that people can click on that includes your nickname so when you make sales, Clickbank knows who to pay. When You Choose Your Nickname, Choose Wisely We’ll talk more about hoplinks shortly, because they’re very important. They are how you get paid. Customers will be able to see the nickname in your hoplink, so keep that in mind when choosing it. Also, once you choose that nickname, you will not be able to change it later. Here’s how Clickbank works: when a publisher creates a digital product that they want to promote, they are going to want as much help selling that product as possible. The best way for them to enlist an army of salespeople is to pay those salespeople, (referred to as affiliates), a generous commission. Generally they are going to pay most of the sales price to the affiliate. A product that sells for $37, for instance, will probably net the affiliate about $23 per sale. A usual commission to an affiliate ranges from 50% - 75% If a merchant pays too low a percentage to their affiliates, the affiliates are most likely not going to feel very inspired to promote the product, and the merchant’s sales will suffer. There is a huge marketplace out there full of products that an affiliate can choose from when they decide what to promote. From an affiliate’s point of view, it makes sense to spend their time and money promoting products that pay them well. After the merchant creates their product (which is usually an ebook on any subject but could also be a service or software), they submit it to Clickbank for approval. Clickbank will not accept any products that make false or misleading claims, or which promote illegal activity like spamming. They will also review a product for quality; Clickbank’s reputation is on the line with each product on their site, and it does not benefit them to accept a poor quality product that won’t sell well. This is of course great for us as affiliates because we know that all Clickbank products will be of a certain quality. How Merchants (the product seller NOT the affiliate) Get Paid? With each sale of a product, Clickbank pays the merchant 92.5 percent of the sale price, less a $1 stocking charge. (Merchants also have to pay a one-time set-up fee of $49.95 to open an account with clickbank if you fancy becoming a merchant) If someone comes to the Clickbank website, looks through the ‘Clickbank Marketplace’ (you can find this link on Clickbank’s home page), and then buys the product after clicking on the merchant’s link, then the merchant gets paid the 92.5 percent of the product minus the $1 stocking fee. So the merchant does not have to pay any money to an affiliate in that case, because the customer found the merchant by themselves and bought directly through the merchant - they did not find the merchant through an affiliate or buy through the affiliates link. You following this? It’s pretty vital you understand so if not read the last few paragraphs again. However, if someone goes to an affiliate’s web page and clicks on the affiliate’s link, which sends them to the merchant page, and then they buy the product...Clickbank pays the affiliate their percentage, say 70 percent of the product price, and then pays the merchant the remaining amount that they are due. It may seem surprising that merchants would pay such a high percentage of their product’s price to an affiliate, but remember that this is very low-overhead product, so it’s easy for a merchant to be able to afford to do this. AND it encourages the affiliates to go out there and sell, sell, sell. The affiliate is the one spending his or her time and/or money promoting the product, and having motivated affiliates will vastly multiply a merchant’s profit margin. And of course if a merchant pays your 70% of their product sale price for getting them a sale, it means they keep 30% of a sale that they wouldn’t have if you weren’t their affiliate. It takes a bit of getting your head round but makes good business sense.

Sample Content Preview To further their nutritional intake nutritionists recommend that strict vegetarians also consume at least five servings a day of whole grains like pasta, bread, and rice. To comply with nutritionist guide-lines strict vegetarians should also have three servings of fruit and at least two servings of beans, peas, or lentils. Research studies have shown that people that adhere to a strict vegetarian diet and follow the recommended nutritional servings have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease as well as lower levels of obesity. Studies have also shown that a properly executed vegetarian diet is safe for all ages of human life, along with situations that put more nutritional needs on the body such as pregnancy. On the other hand, if a strict vegetarian does not follow a properly planned diet they may suffer from shortages of vitamin B12, Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iron, zinc, among other vital vitamins and minerals. To counter act some of the deficiencies that can occur with being a strict vegetarian it is recommended that vegetarians eat foods that are rich in vitamin B12 or take a vitamin B12 supplement to ensure that blood levels maintain their normal levels. The reason for this is that vitamin B12 is essential to the formation of new red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and proper nerve function. By not consuming the recommended dosage of vitamin B12, strict vegetarians are at risk for a variety of health problems to include anemia. This is especially critical in strict vegetarians that become pregnant. Vegetarian women should supplement their diet with B12. Low levels of B12 when breastfeeding have been linked to neurological problems in children. It is also important during pregnancy for a strict vegetarian to ensure that they follow the recommended daily servings because consuming a vegetarian diet has been linked to low birth weights in newborns. Lacto vegetarian Lacto vegetarians follow most of the dietary recommendations of strict vegetarians except that they consume milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter but not eggs. This type of vegetarian diet is popular in India. Lacto vegetarianism is in keeping with the Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism and their belief in nonviolence. Hindu’s believe that you are affected by the type of food that you consume and being a lacto vegetarian helps them maintain an inner peace by not consuming the flesh of any animals. This type of vegetarian diet is good for people that want to keep their cholesterol levels at an acceptable number. They can do this because lacto vegetarians abstain from eating fish and egg yolks that are high in cholesterol. Just like strict vegetarians, those who choose to become lacto vegetarians should maintain a proper diet with the recommended servings of vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and fruits. They should also back up their food selections with vitamin supplements such as B12, iodine, and choline. Furthermore, while vegetarian diets have been deemed healthy for all ages, pregnant women should ensure that they are getting all of the recommended nutrition. If they do not, they are putting their newborn at risk for low birth weight, neurological disorders, and vision problems. They can help avoid these problems by taking the aforementioned vitamins and minerals along with DHA supplements to help the development of the newborns vision. Lacto Ovovegetarian A person who chooses to become a lacto ovovegetarian is a vege-tarian who does not eat meat but does consume dairy products and eggs. This type of vegetarian diet is more common in Western culture. This is also the most common type of vegetarianism that is catered to in mainstream restaurants. This means that if you are going to go to dinner with someone who is a lacto ovovegetarian you do not have to look for a restaurant that caters exclusively to vegetar-ians because most restaurants will have vegetarian options available on their menu. This type of vegetarian lifestyle is popular with Seventh Day Adventists. The Seventh Day Adventist church recommends that its followers eat a diet that is rich in whole grain bread, cereal, and pasta. It also calls for the liberal use of green leafy vegetables and fruits along with a modest amount of nuts, beans, and seeds. When it comes to consuming dairy products Seventh Day Adventists advises its followers to choose the low fat varieties of milk, yogurt, and cheese and does allow for the consumption of eggs. Like other types of vegetarianism, being a lacto ovovegetarian has healthy benefits. Lacto ovovegetarian usually consume a diet that is lower in saturated fats and cholesterol than the traditional diets that include the consumption of meat, which can aid in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and lowering blood pressure. Some people who suffer from diabetes can better control their blood glucose levels through the implementation of a vegetarian diet. This is possible through the consumption of vegetarian foods such as legumes, fruit, and green leafy vegetables that can make your body more responsive to insulin. In addition, the vegetarian diet is low in fat and high in fiber, which in turn can help you maintain a healthy weight further controlling blood glucose levels. Moreover, as well as being helpful for people who suffer from diabetes, a vegetarian diet has also been shown to lower a person’s risk for cancer. Vegetarian foods are full of antioxidants and phyto8 chemicals, which have been shown to lower the risk of cancer. To that end, consuming meat has been shown to increase a person’s chance of getting prostate and colon cancer.

Obviously, a product is required before you can start to sell anything though, and this is what we are going to discuss in the following chapters. WHAT IS INTERNET COMMERCE? The idea of internet commerce is about going online to complete business better and faster. It is all about giving clients controlled use of your pc systems and allowing them to serve themselves. It's about making your organization commit to a significant on-line effort and integrating your website with the essence of your business. Should you do this, you will notice results! The web is a feasible alternative to all of the conventional ways of conducting business. Can't meet in person? Send an e-mail with a photograph attached. When it's time for the customer to purchase the merchandise, make use of a secured server for charge card and, sometimes even, digital cash payments! The opportunities and situations through which internet business can be done are limitless. In the wonderful world of internet commerce, the area where you conduct business are Websites. Most businesses exist already offline. Adding an internet site represents a way to improve their business. For Online start-ups, the website may be the only place they conduct business. To do business, additionally, you need a method to accept orders and action payment. In a store, clients simply discover the products and services they need, enter a queue at the till and pay the shop clerk. In internet commerce, orders need to be placed and items shipped. Orders are often handled through interactive, internetbased forms. Clients in a store pay by cash, check or credit / debit cards. Online clients can't pay by check or cash, only through electronic means. Internet commerce transactions have to occur through secure elec-tronic connections and special merchant portals for processing payment. Delivery fulfilment, in the wonderful world of internet commerce, is harder than in conventional stores, requiring shipping and transportation much like catalogue and mail order companies. In both regular commerce and internet commerce, you need to locate a method to attract clients to you. This is epitomized by your online marketing strategy. On the internet, one simple way to do this is via Google Adwords, where you research keywords related to your site that attract significant numbers of monthly searches. Google will then rank your site higher in their listings when a user enters that keyword into a search and you pay Google a certain amount for every click you receive. You can also market your site by writing articles related to it and posting these (with a link back to your site in your bio) on well-known article directory sites like EzineArticles.com. These sites are free and usually rank well in the search engines. WHAT CAN I SELL? Everyone who sets up an internet business has to address the question: What should I sell? And just about everyone appears to incur 2 classic errors at first: They sell what everybody else is trying to sell: electronics, designer clothing and DVD's. What they find is a marketplace already saturated with these products and the suppliers usually don't work in small quantities. To create any profit at all, they'd need to buy huge quantities. They sell what they know and love. Regrettably, unless there's a significant demand for what they know and love, they will be stuck with lots of product they are able to appreciate but can not move. The following 'hotspots' could keep you connected with what individuals are buying, what things are up-and-coming and what things are declining in popularity. If your opinions all originate from a couple of places, you are limiting your-self so expand your think-ing. You may consider taking a look at one of these simple hotspots for inspiration: Newspapers. You will get a concept of what's on the minds of consumers simply by reading the life-style section, the business pages or taking a look at the adverts the big stores are putting out. Consumer Publications. You will find countless magazines based around specialised products and services, specific hobbies and special interest markets. They have been a good resource for building niche products. Shopping Arcades / Bricks-and-mortar stores. Communicate with the salespeople, discover what is being sold. You may also source your suppliers off the boxes. Obtain the wholesaler's name, ring them and get the name of their local distributor in your town. Trend-spotting sites, such as Influxinsights.com, Trendhunter. com and Trendwatching.com. The entertainment industry, films and television fuel product trends. Knowing what's being released in the movie industry, you can begin sourcing related products and services prior to the trend beginning. Imdb.com maintains a list of movies that are going to be released in the coming year. So, if you are aware now that particular movies are going to be released, you can begin stocking up on related prod-ucts prior to them becoming expensive, like Superman, Batman, Star Wars and Curious George. It's wise to own a notebook for product sourcing, be it a hand-held note book or a PDA, to record your thoughts when they come to you. Ninety percent of the ideas you don't jot down can get lost. When you are visiting these hot-spots for ideas, if you notice hundreds of ideas for products to market, you will not have the ability to recall all of those. You need to write them down in your product sourcing notebook, then return to them and begin researching.

They are able to also earn money as a reseller by referring other affiliates and vendors to ClickBank. Vendors may utilize Clickbank to take care of the complete ordering procedure and to manage their affiliate schemes. Clickbank will pay sales commission, automatically, to every affiliate who connects a paying client to the seller. Clickbank charges the client, pays the vendor, and pays the affiliate. Among the explanations why Clickbank is loved is due to its' robust marketplace (a large number of affiliates can easily see and promote your product). To be a merchant, you'd be having to pay a one-time fee of $49. 95. Probably, that's all you'll ever pay. The draw-back, however, is that Clickbank will take a commission from every one of your sales, which will be around 10% (at this time). Also, tempting affiliates is quite difficult with a minimum of a 50% commission required to even have them interested. Clickbank is one of the many digital product sites on the web. Other similar websites include: CupidPlc.com, Addynamo.com, Cj.com, Shareasale.com, Linkshare.com, Associateprograms.com, Affiliatescout.com, Paydotcom.com, Tradedoubler.com and Affili-atewindow.com. To sum up, Clickbank is a good network, with an easy and simple to access system, easy registration process and good support. While there are some things that can be improved, over all Clickbank is a really usable network ideal for people first starting out in internet marketing.

Sample Content Preview WHY SOCIAL BOOKMARKING IS A TRUE SUCCESS STORY Social bookmarking has become a true success story that combines the ability to collaborate online with the knowledge of millions and the social dimension of the ever changing Internet. The World Wide Web is far too large and vast to ever allow individuals to find everything they're looking for on their own. Along comes the search engine to help them. However, as efficient as the search engines may be for finding something, they can often add hours on to the search process, espe-cially if the correct keywords are not used in the search. Social book-marking is so unique because it brings the human touch into the equation. They say the Internet has billions of websites. It also has billions of users and many of these users are sharing the sites they view with others. This is what social bookmarking is all about. Have you ever found a joke or funny story online that you wanted to share with others but didn't feel like emailing it? Social book-marking makes this possible. Say you read an interesting story about Brett Favre and you want to share it with your friends at work. If you're not a member of a social bookmarking site, the first thing you'll want to do is join one of the many available. Once you've joined, you'll have a couple of buttons on your web browser. Go to your Brett Favre story and click on the designated button to share the link on the social bookmarking site. A tagging window will pop up with your link in it and space for you to put in some tags or keywords. Here's where the tricky and important part comes in. The tags are what are going to help your friends and others find your website quickly and easily. You can put in one or several tags but make them consistent with and related to your story. If you used football as a tag for your Brett Favre story, it would be far too vast to get good results. By using words like Favre, Bret Favre or Favre and a significant word from the article, others wishing to read your story will be able to find it easily. You may also add significant notes or annotations with your tags to make it even easier for your website to be found. Because articles are tagged or voted on at social bookmarking sites, viewers can easily see which articles are the most recent or most popular. By tagging your bookmarks as you would for yourself, others will find it easy to find what they're looking for and in much less time than it would take with conventional search engines. As more sites are tagged, these generated tags are grouped together, making it easy for anyone on the web to find the websites. This is the beauty of social bookmarking, and what's made it such a success story for Internet users. WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT SOCIAL BOOKMARKING? Social bookmarking is probably one of the most convenient and popular aspects of the Internet. While some people spend their time online for work or business purposes, many others spend their time browsing for popular games, shopping sites or even the most current news events.

If so, you'll definitely benefit from social book-marking. Social bookmarking allows you to tag a website and save it for a later time.

Checking out as many social bookmarking sites as possible will help you choose the one that you like the best and fit the best into your lifestyle. While some of the social bookmarking sites are more generic and accommodate everyone, others target certain groups. For instance, social news sites focus more on new-related items such as breaking headlines, politics, news in sports, etc. Social news sites also allow you to participate in group discussions. Digg, Propeller and Reddit are examples of social bookmarking sites that cater to social news groups. The voting system that's used in many social bookmarking sites allows you to stay current with not only the most recently added websites but also with the ones that are the most popular. Social bookmarking sites are such a great way to find your favorite websites; it's no wonder why they're often called social search engines.

You can create a great deal of buzz with blog posts, videos, and social media posts. In fact, once your content begins to attract attention due to folks sharing it, it won’t too long before your content goes viral. Your third step involves... The Creation of an Automated Selling System In order to generate leads, the first portion of your sales funnel should be a landing page. A landing page can serve as a valuable and very effective incentive that attracts visitors to sign up to your email list. You can accomplish this via: An email autoresponder series A video series A webinar Email autoresponders and a video series are excellent communication vehicles. These communications are critical seeing the goal is to convert a visitor from someone who is “interested” up to a motivated buyer. These communications will also help you build and maintain a lasting relationship with your audience.

If your revenue target is to generate an income of $1,000,000 per year, this amounts to $83,000 per month.

For example, if your package is sold for $5,000, you’ll only need to sell 16 of them each month in order to reach your goal. If done the right way, your automated sales system will generate a reliable stream of income for you, month after month and year after year. Automating the Delivery of Your Package Did you know you can package your expertise and deliver it to your clients in an automated fashion, saving you loads of time and effort, and best of all, maximizing your revenue?

The best way for you to do this is to turn your business expertise into an online teaching course that you make available in lesson form. You then post your ‘password protected lessons’ at predesignated times onto the ‘membership’ only portion of your website, which is available only to clients who have prepaid you for this content. Prior to going this route, you’ll have to decide on an ideal format to use with your material. For instance, will your lessons be available in the form of: Videos? Webinars? Podcasts? Or will it be made available in all of the above forms? An ideal length of time for an online business consulting course is12 weeks. When you break your course down into 12 parts, you upload (or give access to) one new lesson each week for 12-weeks. This type of set-up can easily be managed and administered also through email, or as we previously talked about, a membership site. Keep in mind it’s important you organize and schedule your lessons in a way that progressively builds upon each previous lesson. In the beginning when everything is being set-up, is when you’ll invest a great deal of time and effort, but once your everything is up and running, you’ll be able to sit back and concentrate for the most part on overseeing and administrating your business. The good news is, you will have an automated, hands-off income stream. This will leave you with the time and energy to concentrate on building other areas of your business into profit centers, or free you up to spend more time with family and friends.
