I’m in the process of completely rethinking my business model, and that will be my primary focus as I plan this year’s business retreat for myself. Your business model doesn’t have to be at all complex, but should provide the guiding force for all that you do, like guiding you to the opportunities to accept (and those to decline), the joint ventures and strategic alliances to pursue, and the new ideas you should retain and develop, as well as those to let go of.

Here’s are the 4 steps I’m following as I create the blueprint for my business model:

1. Make clients pay well for your most valuable commodity — your time. I see many service business owners tying themselves up with (and tying themselves down to) far too many 1:1 clients. You have only so many hours in the day, and at some point you’ll hit the wall and not be able to expand the number of 1:1 clients you see. Sure, you can hire and train additional staff to handle the overflow, but in many cases, you make less money in this model while tripling your headaches. Make your 1:1 time with clients your highest-fee service, charging a premium fee to dispense your expertise.

If you want to learn how to make money online the right way, with no hype and no false promises, then you will have to make the effort to ignore all these seemingly unbelievable offers that are being made to you. If you have recently lost your job, then you are vulnerable, and prey to every shark in the internet waters – and there are lots of them.

I know what it is like because I was like you. I lost my job, and tried to make it online but found it very hard. I spent a lot of money trying to learn how to make money online: one lump sum of $6,500 to be taught what I now know was elementary stuff. I was taken for a ride, and when I eventually found out that the Corey Rudl that I paid for this was one of the most well respected internet millionaires online, I was disillusioned.

These guys have no shame. They are still at it. I have just been offered an unbelievable opportunity, only about 40 slots left, to learn how to make $300 a day that can expand to many times that. The guy selling his ideas that made him so much money is doing it because he wants to ‘give something back’. Why do I find it difficult to believe that?

Recently I was asked to imagine that I was starting all over again, and as a newbie, how I would fill my business in 60 days. Things have changed tremendously since I began my online business in 2005, mostly for the better. Most of the steps, however remain the same. Best of all, the strategies I recommend to fill your business are the same ones that can be applied to any business, and then applied again and again to other online ventures. Here are 8 secrets to filling the prospect funnel in your business in 60 days:

1. Success mind set.

Don’t gloss over this strategy — it may be the most important of all. If you truly want to succeed in your business and are passionate about what you do, nothing will hold you back. This often means that you have to step out in faith that you’ll succeed, and most importantly, believe in yourself as a success. Sure, you may stumble, or even fall, but you must be willing to pick yourself back up and persevere — even without a safety net hanging under you.

2. Target market.

You might not be a good writer or a good researcher but you can make good money selling written items online. How? Simply by using what is called resell rights. Resell rights allow you to sell things that other people write or produce over the Internet. Such is the appeal of resell rights and the reselling of items like e-books, reports, PLR content, and articles that more people are beginning to jump on the resell rights bandwagon.

Why Sell Other People’s Work

Why is the selling of other people’s work very lucrative and very popular? Well, for one, not everyone has the innate capability to write well enough to capture the attention of the reader and not everyone has the patience to research the information needed to write content that is acceptable enough.

With the advent of better technologies, namely the Computer and the Internet, there has been a proliferation of MLM Company startups. At first, this created extra opportunities for the average MLM distributor. Lately, however this phenomenon has hurt the MLM distributor.

On the surface it may seem that there are extra opportunities for the MLmer to prosper. However, under closer analysis what is revealed is a shrinking market for the average Mlm distributor.

Signing up for an MLM Opportunity can be exciting. The mind swirls with the idea of a large residual income and the ability to do as you please. Once this initial fantasy subsides you have some very important matters to consider.

Since the MLM business is built upon the idea of duplication, you must think about how you will recruit new distributors. A smart MLmer will also develop a means to sell the MLM company’s primary product. Even though many huge organizations have been built on product sales alone, most MLMer’s overlook this marketing method.

Let’s look at a simple example. Would you rather have 1000 distributors purchasing $100 a month in product or 300 distributors selling $700 a month in product? Since MLM commissions are based on volume and the 1st group’s volume is $100,000 and the 2nd group’s volume is $210,000, who made the most money? It is obvious that the 2nd group was more profitable. Don’t neglect product sales systems if you can find them.

When I was just beginning my website business, my business partner asked me if I had ever heard about “multiple streams of income”. Do you know what “multiple streams of income” means? For many businessmen, creating multiple streams of income online or offline is a way of making sure that personal as well as as well as their online and offline business in the future. They also believe that it can also save them from the so-called famine effect in today’s economic climate. This makes sense but how do you start to generate multiple streams of income? At my website, we have developed various training to help you to create your own multiple streams. Once you are involved in a website business, I advise you to develop multiple streams of internet marketing sources of income so that if one of those income streams dries up, it will not financially upset you the way losing your entire income would. If you depend on just one income source and that stream downsizes or gets laid off, you may find yourself bankrupted and homeless. Ask the most successful network marketing entrepreneurs, you will discover that they have put together multiple streams of income.

So how do you go about creating multiple streams of income? If you go to my website, I developed an entire program to train you, however, I can tell you now that the first step you have to take in creating multiple streams of income is to assess or evaluate your resources. Start by assessing yourself first. Jot down the answers to the following questions: What are my talents, abilities, strength and expertise that you possess? Do you possess creative writing skills? Can you do well at sales? Can you communicate well? Are you born with an artistic skill or unique ability that other people don’t have? Through this, you can determine the business where can excel.

Then, write down your physical assets and resources such as computer, scanner, printer, digital camera, cell phone, DVD/CD burner. List these because they can be used as resources. Consider also your friends and family. Find out what do they possess that you have access to. Everyone you know has talents, abilities, knowledge and resources that you can use. Consider your online resources also. Is someone willing to assist you online? As an example,, at my website, we would be glad to help you.

The growing popularity of Global Domains International (GDI) has been overwhelming and the accolades received by the organization over the years speak for themselves. Recently GDI was featured in the San Diego Union Tribune, the LA Times, Entrepreneur Magazine and most recently Inc 500 even rated GDI #37 out of the top 500 fastest growing companies in the US. I mention this not only to erase any doubt or scepticism but also because the world is ripe with opportunity now and one should be careful when considering what opportunity to take advantage of. With any online opportunity or MLM traffic will be key but once you’re getting traffic the importance of coaching, duplication and patience play a much bigger role than ever before. You can make money online.

Social Marketing can prove very fruitful for anyone from the beginner all the way to the guru. In fact the more you do it the better you will get, guaranteed! Human nature is a touchy subject and learning what to say and when to say it is key to make money online. This is a great win-win situation! Global Domains International is selling the .ws domains pretty good because .ws domain names are a pretty good alternative for .com names (as you might have noticed, all the good .com domains are already taken, but the .ws isn’t). It’s a great trial and error exercise that will teach you a lot about what you’re doing and the people you share it with. There are plenty of sites that allow you to network throughout the community but be sure that your efforts are genuine.To sign up, you must visit a website (mine is below, at the bottom of the article), sign up, and purchase a domain name (for example: www.rarecars.ws) You will receive a 7-day free trial, and at any point, you can quit if you wish. After the trial, the web hosting will cost you $10 a month. For that, you get one website, which you can use for whatever purpose you want, (in most cases, people will use theirs to sell another website to someone else). Furthermore, be helpful more than anything else. People are not as impressed by million dollar sales pitches as much as they are impressed by a quality product, a genuine helper and a truly legitimate income.

The next major realization that I’ve made is the importance of coaching. Coaching is HUGE! As a coach or sponsor your resources must be limitless. You can produce tools and resources yourself or can just point your affiliates in the right direction towards resources produced by 3rd parties. As an affiliate, an important thing to remember is that while resources are important, resourcefulness plays a much bigger role when determining success. Anyone familiar with compensation structure of GDI realizes the value of each affiliate in the downline. In order to increase the value of that affiliate, the sponsor needs teach and mentor until the affiliate is self-sustaining.
