    Bryan Ellis - Virtual Real Estate Investing vs. Physical Real Estate Investing

    December 28th, 2008

    Virtual Real Estate Investing” is a relatively new concept. Everything from using the internet as an avenue to make more money in real estate to online games such as SecondLife seem to be included in the popular definition of this term.

    In order to figure out the truth of the matter, I sought out Bryan Ellis, whose experience in the fledgling industry is truly impressive.

    Ellis says he adopted the term “virtual real estate investing” sometime before Y2K after he realized that making money online is conceptually very similar to making money with physical real estate.

    One example of the parallels between virtual and physical real estate Bryan Ellis cites is the similarity between the monetization of domain names versus physical property. “These types of assets - websites and physical real estate - can be monetized in very similar ways like buy lo/sell high, leasing/rental and advertising opportunities” he says.

    The parallels really are obvious. Consider: A valuable piece of real estate is valuable largely due to the interest that other people have in that specific location. Likewise, if you own a desirable domain name, others will find value in it because it serves their purposes. So it doesn’t matter if you own physical real estate or virtual real estate - you’ll likely use similar strategies to turn them into money in your pocket.

    In our next installment of this series on virtual real estate investing, Bryan Ellis will share the internet analogies to the physical concept of real estate development.

    Website Promotion Needs Powerful Seo Tactics And Link Juice

    October 16th, 2008

    When dealing with your online marketing needs you should be aware of a few essential points. First of all none of the major seo tactics work without a few things for foundation.

    You need to have a website to promote, you need good quality and unique content, and your site must fall within the search engine guidelines for content, i.e. content that doesn’t offend anyone or carry pornography.

    Using search engine optimization is all about helping the search engines help you and to do that you must have a quality site to barter for good traffic to your site.

    Once you’ve established that they you can go the next route which is to develop your site and off page optimization known as link popularity or back links.

    If you’ve never heard the term “link Juice” before then you probably haven’t been diving into the world of seo marketing.

    Link juice is a term used to describe getting back links to your site from authority sites, which makes them important to search engines. Link juice can also come from non authority sites but they generally won’t carry much weight with the search engines.

    Search engine optimization requires you to have many links from many authority sites to give your site the appearance that everyone is going to your site from several other sites.

    This is like someone at a major store telling its customers to go to your store.


    Crop Circles and Critical Mass

    August 28th, 2008

    CROP CIRCLES:

    The Learning Channel (August 7, 2003) just had a show about crop circles. Here are two major points that no debunker will be able to explain in addition to the designs themselves.

    1. The seeds in 250 crop circles tested by a top biologist and botanist were no longer there. I suppose some might say the hoaxers made bread out of the seeds but the pods or husks had not been opened. This is the work of Doctor Levengood and his associates.

    2. Many of the stalks were exploded from the inside out.

    It is my belief that the forces of the earth and cosmos combine with the growing and more refining nature of the World Mind to communicate these wondrous designs. I do wonder how the seeds were missing or where their energized force went.

    There is no better evidence of the coming critical mass and imminent change that seems to fit or be headed towards 2012 as the Mayans say. Please join the pantheon of RIGHT-thinking people and stop the competition or ONE PIE ideologies that create waste rather than creating wealth and wisdom for all. It can be an awesome future or it will be more of the same.

    Author and activist seeking to help make the Critical Mass happen before the regressive forces of Empire win.


    Article Writing: Commandment No.1

    August 24th, 2008

    We all know article writing is the best thing for getting targeted traffic to our website for free, make us look like an expert on our given topic and fantastic from creating back links to our website for SEO purposes.

    But there is wrong way and right way to write an article??

    What should you do, Commandment no.1..
    Always put the reader first, with so much information on the internet people are bombarded with article, newsletters, mailings every day so why should they take the time to read yours?

    You should always give great content you may feel that you’re spilling the beans or giving away all your secrets, but who says you have to give it all away. You can give your readers a taster of what you know and then when they’re hooked and find themselves down at the bottom of the article and no where else to go, lead them on to your website where they can either read more about it or if they want purchase to find out more.

    We all know that the majority of website have a poor conversion rate 1% but by bringing your customer in after reading an article you’ve put the odds in your favor of getting a sale because they’ve gotten to trust you because an article has your personality in it and you can gain more trust because of it. So I suppose you could call your article a pre-sale or a soft sell rather a website screaming… buy me!… buy me! … written all over it.

    Also remember if your visitor has come from an article rather than a click thru from some banner ad or adword ad they now have an easier chance of getting back to your site because they remember you from the article.

    And also as a side note… if your article is good quality it’ll probably get passed from one person to another (You never heard anyone say “Hey I saw a great banner ad today you should have seen it!…. or here’s a copy of it! .. But… this can happen to articles!”)

    That concludes today’s lesson, and remember if you do write a good article it’ll get passed around and around and who know it may be around when you’re grand kids are surfing the net!

    If you have an article drop by http://www.barryjmcdonald.com and give us a copy of it, does article writing work? Join today with all the other thousands of writers that think it does.


    Things to Consider Before Joining a Home Business Opportunity

    August 22nd, 2008

    If you prefer to work as a representative for an existing company (as opposed to starting your own company), there are plenty out there to choose from! There are things you should think about beforehand, however. Too many people make the mistake of jumping into the first opportunity they see. Do your homework before signing on the dotted line! Here are some things to consider about your prospective opportunity:

    Are you passionate about the products/services? Be honest with yourself on this, it’s the most important question. Don’t sign up with a company because others are doing well with them, or because your neighbor says it’s the wave of the future. Can you really get excited about what you’re selling? If yes, you will have a much better shot at success.

    Is the company legitimate? How long have they been in business? Are they a member of the Better Business Bureau or the Direct Selling Association? This doesn’t necessarily guarantee the company is “good”, but it’s a good starting place. Also do a search for the company name along with the word “scam.” Do a lot of complaints come up? Most companies will probably have a few, but if there are many, you might want to think twice.

    Start-up Cost How much does it cost to become a representative, and what is included in your start-up kit? Most business opportunities have a start-up cost that can range from a few dollars up to hundreds of dollars. However, you should actually receive something for this money being spent.

    Product or Service Is there an actual product or service being sold to customers? If there is no product or service, run far, far away! That is called a pyramid scheme, and it is illegal. Also beware of companies that offer substandard products at inflated prices. The focus should be on the products, not the business opportunity.

    Training Do you receive any training and support from the company? Ask how this training is presented. Is it online training? Telephone conference calls? One on one mentoring? Audio files? Printed booklets? Make sure you clearly understand what support and training materials will be provided for you.

    Ongoing Costs Are there any ongoing costs to running your business with this company? Some companies require that you purchase a certain amount of products each month, or they charge monthly webhosting fees or administrative fees.

    Marketing Materials Will you need to purchase your own marketing materials like brochures, catalogs, order forms, business cards, advertising or prospecting leads? Find out if the company offers any of these to you for free, or if they have low cost alternatives.

    Quotas Will you have any sales quotas you need to meet each month or year? Any other requirements you must meet to keep your business active?

    Online or Off Would you prefer to run your business mostly online, or off? Would you enjoy doing home parties? Some companies offer the option of both, and some do not. Find out exactly how you will need to run your business and make sure it’s something you won’t mind doing.

    Website Does the company give you a free website, or one that you pay for? Can you sign up customers and representatives at the website, or do you have to do it manually by phone or fax? Some websites are given for marketing and lead generation purposes, but you still have to sign up the prospects yourself. Others have more automated systems set up.

    Product Delivery Who delivers the products your customers order? Does the company ship them out for you, or will you have to do that?

    Realistic income What can you expect to earn, and how is the bulk of your income earned? Do you need to recruit other representatives in order to earn? Or can you sell product to earn a commission. Some companies offer both options. Don’t fall for the hyped-up ads that claim you can earn $20,000 in a month. It may be possible, but be clear on exactly what would be required of you to earn that much money. Will you need to recruit a certain number of representatives per month, or sell a certain amount of products per month? Are you willing to do that?

    When you finally choose a company to partner with, be prepared to work hard and be committed. So many ads out there make it sound so easy — you just sign up and the money starts rolling in. Nothing could be further from the truth. You will need to show up each day and do the work, just like a job. You will need to stretch yourself outside your comfort zones and work on improving yourself, personally and professionally.

    The good news is that YOU are responsible for your own success. There are no limits if you truly believe in yourself and the company you represent.

    Make $10000000000000000000…..with AFFILIATE MARKETING>>>

    August 21st, 2008

    I exaggerated, I confess, I used too many zeros. Still I believe that Affiliate Marketing is synonymous of Amazing Monetary prosperity. Some companies pay up to 75% commission from every product that you sell. Is that fair? Is it fair that the owners of those products receive a measly 25% from the sale of products or services that they struggled to create while you keep the big profits? Well, let me tell you that those owners of those products couldn’t be happier to offer a 75% percent commission to anyone who wants to sell their products. Where else are you going to find such an amazing opportunity to profit from selling products that you don’t even own? The benefits of being involved on the affiliate marketing business are enumerated bellow.

    1) You don’t have to create anything; you are a marketer like the term implies it. 2) You get pay high commissions for doing something fun and simple. Your job is to refer others to certain companies and products. 3) There are countless sources of information on the Internet that can help you achieve more knowledge about this business than virtually any other business. 4) It works, and it works amazingly. 5) You don’t have to deal with customers. 6) You don’t have to talk at the phone. 7) You don’t have to purchase a building and stock it up with merchandise. 8) You don’t have to hire employees. 9) You don’t have to do anything illegal. 10) It doesn’t require too much work. 11) You have the ability to profit exponentially. 12) It doesn’t require too much time. 13) You can get a full time income working part time. 14) You can do it from home. 15) You don’t have to deal with the traffic.

    Did your eyes opened yet? Keep reading!

    16) You can use it as good extra income even if you are already a millionaire. 17) You will be helping people with this. They will give you their money and they will thank you after all. 18) You can be your own boss. 19) You won’t work for somebody else. 20) No one will tell you what to do or how to do it. You are on your own so you are free to do as you please. 21) You will be at the movies instead of cleaning up your business stuff or your employer’s business stuff. 22) It allows you to have increasing amounts of free time. 23) Your gains are exponential so you will also have increasing amounts of profits. 24) You can retire early. You won’t want to retire anyway because it is easy and fun to run this business. 25) You can make more money with this business than with porn because there are much fewer competitors. 26) You won’t worry about competitors anyway because there are much more buyers out there than affiliates. 27) You won’t worry about others affiliates competing with you, because if you know what to do and you do it, you will outperform the majority of them and your results will be amazing! 28) On this business you become a cooperator not a competitor, so you will save the entire hassle. 29) You won’t have to deal with orders, collect payments or anything like that. You just wait for your check to arrive. A check that is yours and you can spend it whenever and however you want. 30) This is a true business opportunity that can make you a lot of money. Those people that you know that are making money right now from the comfort of their own house are using affiliate marketing to live their luxury lives. Why won’t you do the same thing? No one is better than you are anyway. Take advantage of this amazing opportunity that life is offering you.

    Did you fell from the chair yet? Keep reading!

    31) If you incorporate you will be able to deduct your car payments, including your gas, insurance, and lease payments. Your travel expenses, if your travels are related to your business. You can deduct your brand new computer, laptop, printer, scanner, telephone, furniture, mortgage payments, clothe, electricity, food, phone bill, internet bill, what else? Almost everything? Isn’t that fun? 32) If you incorporate you can sell stocks from your companies to willing investors so you can earn much more. 33) If you incorporate, if you have a Limited Liability Corporation and someone sue you, they will only take away your company assets or your initial investment, something like that. The point is they can’t force you to sell your house or your yacht to pay the suing people. Nice! 34) If you incorporate, your corporation will consist of selling intangible products that you don’t even own, so your accountability tasks will be very simple. That means a chilling life, less hassle - more money, more free time, more fun, better quality and standard of life. 35) If you do not incorporate you can become a sole-proprietor, which means you own yourself the right to not be bothered. You are alone; no one disturbs your peace. You can work from your bedroom as long as you pay the taxes and comply with the federal and state authority rules and regulations. You don’t have employees and you don’t have a boss. All you have is a money-making system. A business that produces a ton of cash if you know what you are doing. 36) If you don’t pay the taxes that’s your own business. The old guy from the IRS will knock off your balls out of your pants with a stick and put you in jail for 20 years. After depositing $10,000 per week on your bank account every week and not reporting it to the government authorities they will get peace off. That’s the only sad part of this business. You will have to report your income, but because you will be deducting everything anyway, you will end up paying them a low fee.

    What else can I tell you my friends? Have you ever came across a business opportunity that could be more exiting, profitable, simpler and easier than this. If you do let me know please, send me an email. This is just the most amazing men-created-money-making system that I have ever found in my entire life. Imagine that real estate agents get paid around 6% commission for each transaction that they facilitate, and many of them are rich. I am saying that you can get pay 75% commission for every transaction.

    I can’t give you all the details here. I have shown you the endless possibilities you have to profit from this amazing business, but I have not scrutinized with you the most amazing secrets of this business opportunity. If you visit the website bellow you will find there the details that you are looking for.

    The Power of the A-Z Presentation

    August 19th, 2008

    When someone asked me, ‘John, what is the #1 reason
    why people fail in their own Network Marketing business?’,
    I said with 110% confidence, “It is because they
    customize their presentations to each person assuming
    what their prospect will find exciting.” This
    mindset will definitely set you up for failure!

    Let me repeat myself…the decision to customize your
    presentation for each individual prospect will
    demolish your possibility of creating the results
    that you desire through your business. I speak with
    110% belief about this fact, because no one every
    prospected me. I answered an ad and created my very
    own multi-million dollar Net-work Marketing
    business from the ground up.

    I was living in New York, which is home to millions
    of people. You would think that out of all of

    these people someone would have prospected me
    for Network Marketing, but they prejudged me.
    They instantly looked at me and said to themselves,
    “This young stuttering kid just couldn’t do it…
    he could never build a business.”

    Well, they were wrong!

    The key to success is the power of duplication,
    which is simply showing the same presentation
    over and over again. You need to be presenting
    the entire business from A to Z to each and
    every one of your prospects, because you have
    no idea what is going on inside them as you
    share the business. You’ll see immediate results
    when you get into a zone of showing the plan and
    then showing the plan again and again in the same
    fashion, which will increase your belief and

    create dramatic results.

    You need to show your business exactly the
    same way to each prospectevery time you present
    your program for two primary reasons:

    Reason #1 - You will be 100% full of confidence
    and conviction knowing what you are going to say,
    because you have presented the entire plan
    from A-Z numerous times the
    SAME EXACT WAY. Repetition is the mother of skill.

    Reason #2 - When you begin to put this into
    practice, I can almost guarantee that you will
    have your prospects respond to aspects
    of your business you would have assumed they
    would not have been interested in before.
    Allow your learned habits of showing your
    business to work for you not against you!

    Presenting your business the very same way to
    each and every prospect must become one of your
    learned habits. This will assist you in earning
    your right to your personal freedom
    through the industry of Network Marketing.

    You will see your business explode within a
    short period of time! Just imagine everyone
    in your network internalizing this mindset
    and fully understanding the power of an A-Z
    presentation. The leadership abilities within
    them will skyrocket, which in turn will create
    momentum in your business.

    Momentum is a force that you will not be able
    to control; it is also the key to unprecedented
    growth in your business. Leadership is earned by
    people who deserve it, and you will project
    leadership when you present with the ‘Power of A-Z’.

    Always remember, it is just a matter of time
    before you hit your target when you keep aiming for it!

    How to Make a Good Cup of Coffee

    August 15th, 2008

    There is one thing that most adults love first thing in the morning, a cup of good coffee. Nothing tastes better than a hot coffee, that is made well. There are a few things that go into great tasting coffee. I will explain what it needs to give you what you want, the best coffee possible.

    First off, is the coffee grind, this is very important for a number of reasons. For starters you should realize that the finer the coffee grind, the more flavor that can be extracted from the same volume. It’s important to buy the grind as fine as possible, or if you own your own coffee grinder that you grind it properly.

    It is also important for you to follow the instructions outlined with your coffee maker or espresso machine. You should measure the water and coffee according to the number of cups you need to make, this will ensure you are adding the right amount of water in conjunction with the coffee grind. Another tip to consider, that many people don’t realize is that if you reheat your coffee it will have a bitter taste. Coffee always tastes best when it is freshly made, reheating it the next day will give you less than favorable results.

    I was mentioning the right amount of water to use, but it’s also to important to use the right type of water. To get the best possible taste, you should use cold water that has been filtered through a water filter. Some people recommend actually using ice when brewing coffee, this is also supposed to enhance the flavor, never tried it myself though.

    After the coffee is brewed, you add sugar but how much and what type? I recommend using light brown rather than refined white sugar, personally I think it gives the coffee a more enhanced flavor. Some people enjoy a little bit of milk in their coffee, make sure to warm up the milk, cold milk detracts from the hot coffee experience.

    I have also read that adding just a pinch of salt to the coffee grounds will actually enhance the coffee flavor, this method is supposed to take out the bitterness out of your coffee. I haven’t used that tip as of yet. And remember to clean your coffee machine thoroughly after after each and every use this will also give you a better tasting cup of coffee.

    Lastly, the type of coffee bean you choose is very important. The coffee beans that you choose should be well roasted, not burned! For the best results I prefer to use 100% arabica beans, but this is just personal preference more than anything.

    What about Business Incorporation Services?

    August 13th, 2008

    When I started my company I had a dream of becoming rich one day. I thought about all the things I’d do once I acquired the money and where my company would be. I was a bit green however and didn’t realize then what I know now. Business can be a very complicated animal and it takes baby steps to really do it right. When it comes to incorporating however their are business incorporation services that can take the guess work out of the process and they often provide you with enough support and materials to get you off the ground running.

    If someone were to ask me ten years ago what I knew about incorporating I wouldn’t have been able to even tell them what the word incorporating meant. I remember when I had no idea why people would incorporate or what the process was about and what the difference between a small business not incorporated and one that was, was. I found back when I needed it some business incorporation services and they were amazing at helping me- a guy with no clue- to not only set everything up quickly and efficiently, but to understand what it all meant and was for.
