Catch Up Calls With Your Team Are Important

They are called different things within different organizations, but a catch up call is a chance to check in with the members of your team and see how they are doing with their business. They are VITAL to keeping your business strong.  Maybe you didn’t get that with your upline so make sure that you keep in touch with your team.

As a leader, attrition is one thing that can cripple your business. Attrition is inevitable, and you need to be prepared for a certain percentage to happen. But if an unexpected amount happens, it can affect you meeting your goals which can affect leadership levels, contests, and ultimately, your income.

One way to avoid this is to have your finger on the pulse of your team. You need to know what they are doing, what their goals are, and if anything has changed in their business. Best of all, you need to know how you can help them and they need to know that you care about their business.

It is best if these calls are scheduled so you both know when they will occur. 15-20 minutes is usually enough. If someone has a more serious issue, you can schedule another time to talk separately.

A few questions you should be asking are:-
“How are your monthly goals going?”
“Have you set your goals for the upcoming month?”
“What changes have there been, if any, in your business?”
And the most important question you can ever ask …”What can I help you with to move your business forward for you?”.

If it’s something you can answer over the phone…great. If it’s something you need to get back to them on, give them a specific date that you will have an answer for them by…and make sure you meet the deadline.

Having regular catch up calls will keep the lines of communication open with your team and hopefully avoid any shocking news at the end of a month!

Kleeneze-Roper.jpg

Steve & Debbie Roper – Upminster, Essex

After working our Kleeneze business part-time for 5 years our p/t Kleeneze income exceeded £1,000 per week which enabled Steve to return his Co car and walk away from a well paid job, escaping the rat-race forever! Whilst Steve was still in a job we qualified for Conferences to Monaco, Cairns Australia, Monaco a second time, South Africa, Athens and Sydney (and were awarded a Mini Cooper). We have since qualified for 5 further conferences, to Budapest, Mauritius, New York, Miami and most recently, Dubai (and as “top qualifiers” on to The Maldives). In 2005 we were awarded The Distributor of the Year for Gavin Scott’s Terrier Group – the biggest group in Kleeneze which includes the Fast Forward Group. In 2007 and again in 2011 we were awarded The Distributor of the Year for Bob Webb’s Fast Forward Group – the highest status, highest earning Team in Kleeneze. We are for the third year running the current holders of The Pole Position Group’s Top Recruiter Cup. With our amazing team we achieved the highest status promotion in the whole of Kleeneze in 2011. We are enjoying supporting our team to help them to achieve these extra rewards and grow their incomes. The freedom, the rewards and the camaraderie are just brilliant!

Another Testimonial

Kleeneze Jim and Claire

Jim Dale & Claire Daniels – Fleet, Hampshire

We started our Kleeneze business in March 2002 to earn an extra £200 a month to pay off University student loans and help towards paying the mortgage on our first home together. Also, we both had threats of redundancy in our jobs (Engineer and Accounts Assistant) and wanted something to give us more security and control of our lives.In our first month we got back our initial investment and made a profit of £130 simply by following the successful, proven system we were taught within the Infinity Group.We are growing our business by helping other people earn the extra income they require. By following the advice of our upline and working closely with our team we have both been able to quit the ‘rat race’ over 30 years early.In June 2007 we qualified with 2 team members for an all expenses paid Kleeneze luxury trip to Cannes on the French Riviera.In 2008/09 we travelled around Australia, New Zealand and Fiji for 10 months while our business continued to grow and paid us an income of around £600 every month!March 2010 saw us jet off to Cape Town, South Africa with Kleeneze for another all expenses paid 5-star trip. What other job or business can give such a great bonus?This business has given us time freedom, great income, lots of new friends and the ability to design our own fantastic future.

Kleeneze Review

From Rags to Riches

 

Kleeneze Rags to Riches

I was working for Kleeneze about 5 years ago delivering catalogues and collecting orders.  I was doing very well but had to stop because of bad health and due to my husband being terminally ill.  When he passed away in August 2016 I needed something to keep me going and then heard that with  Kleeneze you are now able to work from home online covering the UK and Northern Ireland and it is proving to be a huge success so I am back with them and loving every minute of it.  

No more driving, trudging the streets and delivering catalogues (that’s if you don’t want to as it can  all be done online now!!  Great …  Ok little white lie !  I started doing the catalogues again as I missed the social side of meeting new people but as I said it can all be done online now ……

5 Tips Why You Need A LinkedIn Group

5 Tips Why You Need A LinkedIn Group

 

LinkedInI am sure you have heard of LinkedIn and it is a great way of connecting with other marketers, entrepreneurs and professionals.

There are many people on LinkedIn who are in the earning bracket of $100,000 per year and more.  By socialising with these people you are going to get a better education on the rules and know how’s of marketing.

So by creating a group on LinkedIn you have a greater opportunity of connecting with other like minded people and below are the reasons why …

 1.      Establish Yourself As A Thought Leader

The initial thing that starting your own LinkedIn Group does is establish you as the leader! That in itself is a power benefit. You control the action in your group. You control the discussions, membership to your group, and the flow of information. LinkedIn members will join your group to connect with you and others who think like them. By placing yourself in the position of authority, you are practicing Attraction Marketing in its best form. Asking a thought-provoking question is a great way to get that started!

2.      Personal Network Expansion

Normally on LinkedIn, for you to connect to with other members, you have to be a friend or colleague, or have some sort of established relationship with that member. When members voluntarily join a group, your network automatically expands. People will voluntarily join your group. You can establish a direct connection with others in the group without having to supply ‘proof’ of relationship, which for LinkedIn is either being colleagues or knowing a personal email address. Better still, they will want to connect directly with you, because YOU are the authority figure!

3.      Generate Better Quality Leads

As stated before, the average income on LinkedIn is $100,000 per year. The members of LinkedIn  are Executives, Senior Level Managers, and Corporate CEOs. These are the type of people that created networking to start with. What makes them better quality leads? They already know about business. Most network marketers try to sponsor people that have no experience in business. More than likely, the leads you generate on LinkedIn already know about business and have the proper mindset to be successful. If all you have are big fish in a little pond, you’re bound to catch something!

4.      Drive Traffic To Your Blog

Now, this is a hidden gem that most people don’t even think about. You can drive traffic to your blog through a LinkedIn group in a few different ways.Add your URL to the Welcome message in the group

  • You can send valuable, niche-related content by mass email that includes your URL
  • Create a discussion and include your URL
  • Therefore, because the recipients are in your LinkedIn group, they are more receptive to your communications, and it’s really not spamming.

5.      Create a community 

This is another powerful benefit of creating a group on LinkedIn. Everybody has a need to belong to something. When you create a group on LinkedIn, you are connecting like-minded individuals. What does that mean? It means, you’re providing a place for people to hang out with people who ‘get’ them. That is priceless! Leaders who create groups will see a payoff at some point. It might not be instant, but it WILL pay off.

By creating a group on LinkedIn it is a powerful platform. Take the time to learn it and master the technique.

How To Convert The Nay-Sayers in Network Marketing

how-to-convert-t…etwork-marketing/

How to Convert Prospects to Customers

 I am sure you have come across those prospects who just flatly refuse to believe in what you have to tell them and they want to contradict everything you say.  Well here is something that might get them to see your side of things and agree with your point of view.

Don’t Keep on Pushing Them or You Will Push Them Away !

You need to learn very early on in network marketing how to answer objections …

Only one problem …..  even the right, accurate answer still may not always get you what you want but you have at least tried.

Some people think that network marketing is a pyramid scam, or only the people at the top seem to be earning the money – some think that MLM’s are illegal businesses or only people who already have big networks in place can get rich.  By just simply telling them the opposite thing may not work at all and you have have won the argument but you are likely to lose the customer.

Do you like to be wrong?  No of course you don’t and nobody likes to be proven wrong so when you push, they are going to push evenharder back at you and the harder you push to try and change their minds the harder they are going to try to entrench themselves in their opinion.  They are more than likely going to say “I know that I am right because I have met people who have lost a lot of money doing this MLM work” !!

Now if they believe they are right and you can’t get them to change their mind, are you going to just give up?  No you are not.  You can use the power of appreciation to get them to see your point of view …..

Listen to What They Have to Say

One of the first steps in appreciation is to find out where your prospect is coming from and listen to their side of the story.  Stop making statements and just ask them more questions. The questions don’t even have to be work related.   Find out a bit more about your prospect and about their family if they are prepared to talk about them.

Now they are probably going to say to you that your business is just a pyramid scam.  So then you can ask them “what do you mean by a pyramid scam and why do you say that my business is a pyramid scam”?

 

Don’t be defensive when you ask them these questions.  You want them to understand that you are curious as to why they think like that.  You need to sincerely understand their side of the story by saying things like “How do you mean?” or “Help me to understand what you mean”.  Or maybe ask them “What makes you say that?”  – all these questions are meant to probe your prospects emotions.  By doing this they are likely to start relaxing and putting their guard down ….

 

When you ask someone to clarify their statement, they sometimes may see by their own admission that their opinion was unfounded or inaccurate – for example they may that it is shaped like a pyramid so they thought it was a pyramid scheme – then is you are lucky they might even decide to correct themselves all on their own without your help !! 

If this doesn’t happen you are at least a step closer to an agreement.

Always, Always Appreciate their Point of View

The key trigger here for this kind of approach requires as much sincerity as when you were listening – so simply acknowledge their point of view.  This isn’t to say that you agree with them !  It just means you see their side of it even if you don’t share it.  So spoken truthfully by saying “I understand how you feel” is a very powerful statement.  It means that you have understood them and that their side made sense.  By doing this, people will feel that you have respected their opinion and that in return invites them to respect yours.

You could go a step further by saying that if you were in their shoes, you would probably feel the same way.  You could say “I do understand how you feel.  You spent $1,000 into an MLM and you didn’t manage to make your money back.  To lose that sort of money in any business is rough and if it happened to me I would probably feel the same way and would not give network marketing another chance”

Once again, let the signal be clear – that you sincerely understand their side of things.  Once they see that it is easier for the two of you to agree on something.

You Have to Get Them To Appreciate You

You can now move on with stating your side of the story.  You need to get them to see the merit of your point of view.  One often used method is the 3 F’s.  Feel, Felt and Found method.

“I fully understand how you feel.  I once thought that I was terrible at sales and not in a million years did I think I would be able to answer a sing question that any customer threw at me, but I found that the company trains its downline impeccably.  I wasn’t even allowed to do a presentation until they thought I was ready.  They also teach that it is not about the selling of products, it is finding out how you can help others with those products”.

or

“I get what you are saying.  I also thought the same when I started out on my networking journey.  I thought that only the people above me would get rich and that I would lose my investment.  Then I realised they were personally interested in my development and were willing to help on a one to one basis to be my business up and running.  I was taught everything I needed to know to be successful.  If you put in the work you can be successful. I am grateful to all my upline who have helped me in this way”

So now because you didn’t undermine what your prospect said, they will find it easier to appreciate what you say and mutual appreciation is going to open the door to agreement. This is one of the most efficient ways to close a prospect.

What are your thoughts on this subject?  I would love to know ……

What is a Triop?

What is a Triop?

I had never heard of a Triop and was so intrigued that I had to buy a kit to find out just what these little pond monsters were !!  Mine are just two weeks old at the moment ….. and I have magnified them a little !

IMG_0649

Well believe it or not they have been around for 300 million years and they are pronounced “try-ops”.  They are also called Tadpole or Shield Shrimps and they are creatures that biologists often call living fossils for which Triops have truly earned their title.

These little creatures are from around the Triassic period and have witnessed lots of large and spectacular creatures, including seeing dinosaurs come and go !

IMG_0646

So what is the secret of their success?  Very simple ….   they are masters of a habitat that has become too tough for many – and that is the temporary pool.  They love shallow puddles that appear when it rains but they dry up very quickly so that causes a problem. The temperatures of these puddles go up and down and then again so do the chemicals in the water.

IMG_0648

If you decide to breed these at home you cannot use tap water.  It has to be bottled water and even better rain water if you can collect it in a butt.  You also need to keep them at a room temperature of at least 21 degrees centigrade.

Triops only live for a very short time between 3 and 6 weeks but when I mentioned earlier about what happens when the water in the puddles dries up they leave behind the next generation of eggs which you can then repeat the process.  The eggs are almost invisible measuring around 0.4mm across.

IMG_0647

I am not an affiliate for this company but it is worth checking it out, especially if you have young children as there are many things to do with wildlife for them to do. The company is called Interplay UK 

 

 

 

Ok so this is something totally different to what you are used to from me but I stopped blogging some time ago and just getting back into the swing of things again so thought I would start off with something far away from marketing for a change.

9 Tips For Promoting Website Visibility In Search Engines

Enforcing Website Visibility

Website Visibility

To get quality results from your website you need a good designed site, as it  is only noticed when it gains quality results such as, getting good traffic, increased visibility from the search engines point of view and an inclined page ranking.

Most of the websites fail to gain visibility as they feature unorganised content on their site which is difficult for the search engines to understand and crawl. However, there are some top tips listed below through which you can promote your websites visibility in search engines for better results. 

Keep things comprehensible for search engines to crawl 

1.    Alt tags: It is innovative and impressive to have multimedia content on your site but there is a drawback when search engines (SE) comes under consideration as the crawlers can only index text based content. Fortunately, all such multimedia content can be assigned text messages through the alt tags that will be crawled by the spiders.

2.    Meta tags: These Meta tags possess a particular message or text in them that will be given high priority by the search engines in identifying the respective websites. They act as a fulcrum for gaining good visibility for your site that can be achieved easily through wise utilisation of these tags.

3.   Site map: A website that possesss a sitemap will be easier for the SE to crawl it, as all the objects that are present in each and every page of the site are converted into text content.

4.    Frequent updating: Try to practice  posting strategy every day on your website that will force the SE to index it on a daily basis keeping the site visibility inclining gradually.

5.    Press releases: There is much news that is worth sharing with customers, this can be done in a simple manner through the press releases.

6.    Forum discussion: You can find many forums that are present on the web that perform frequent discussions, through indulging yourself in such discussions you keep the SE updated.

By using wise techniqus you can earn a higher ranking !

7.    Link building: This is one of the most effective practices that are kept in form that will gain higher page ranking. However, you need to be careful in choosing your backlinks that they are featured on related/similar websites.

8.   Social media marketing: There are many social networking sites that can help gain huge brand awareness for your site and also drive traffic at a noticeable count to incline the PR of the website.

9.   Relevant content: The content that is used on the website will be well scrutinised by the SE in order to justify the site’s field and capability. Having well organised, genuine, copyright protected content will help to achieve higher priority in SE page ranking.

6 Tips For Success in a Small Business

6 Tips For Success in a Small Business

6-tips-for-succe…a-small-business/

Below are 6 Tips on How To Be Successful in a Small Business

These days there are so many small businesses that are closing down which quite possibly could have been saved by doing things differently.

In this world of internet and technology things are all changing.  People are changing their habits in how they shop today.  When you think about it the internet has really changed the way that people shop and buy today.  A few years ago you never heard of buying your groceries online and getting them delivered and people are using the internet these days to buy just about anything that they need.  As with online marketers and entrepreneurs we need to keep up with all the changes in the way we market and want our online business to be a success.

If you don’t keep up with the changes in your marketing skills you could quite easily become another statistic on the failure list.

If you want to make 2016 your best ever year then below are a few tips that I would like to share with you to make your small business a success.

1. What Worked and Didn’t Work in 2015

Sit down and make a list of what worked and what didn’t work for you this year.  You may possibly find that you have a larger negative list than a positive list.  If you don’t study then history is going to repeat itself.  Maybe you could have done more marketing or perhaps you weren’t targeting the right market.  Maybe your timing wasn’t right.  Check out what advertising strategies worked best for you and then try and improve them.

2. You Need a Marketing Plan

Yes I know what you are thinking ‘I have heard it all before’ – maybe you think you don’t have the time to sit and write out a couple of pages of plans, or perhaps you don’t know how to but believe me you need this plan.  Make a list of where you are at right at this moment plus what you are earning (if anything!).  

Make a list of your new and old customers.  Write down the number of hours you are working then set yourself some goals of where you want to be in 1 year, 5 years or 10 years even.  Set yourself just three strategies that you want to use to achieve those goals.  It could be social media, email marketing, attraction marketing, doing webinars or perhaps you prefer to work offline, but once you have picked the three to use then implement them and just stick to the three.  Write down what you want to achieve and improve on a monthly basis.

3. Find a Good Mentor

When I started online marketing about 14 years ago I was on my own and I never got any advice from anyone and that is one thing you don’t want.  Find a good mentor and leader and don’t be afraid to ask for advice and if you follow what they tell you then you can’t go wrong.  Make sure it is someone that has been in the same position as you are in and that is now successful.  If you have the funds it is always a good idea to pay for a coach or consultant.  You will be saving yourself a lot of time and money in the long run.

4. Focus on Helping Others

If you are running your business just to be making money then you could run in to big problems, especially if you are just pitching your products that you want to sell.  You need to first focus on your customers and potential customers to find out what their needs are and their problems and goals if they have any and then just focus on how you can help them achieve these things.  If you can help others reach their goals then you will automatically reach your own goals.

5. Keep Your Website Updated

It does not have to be costly to buy and host a domain and by having a website of your own is the most effective way for marketing your business today.  As you will have noticed there is a lot of competition out there so you don’t want to throw together just any basic website.  Make sure you have a great design and if you can, blog daily.  It doesn’t just have to be about what you are selling as people don’t want to read about the same thing every day.  You can blog about your personal life and family to show that you are a real person or perhaps something that is interesting on the news.  As long as you are giving value content on what people want to know that is going to help them then you are well on your way to driving traffic to your site.

6. Make Time For Friends and Family

Don’t try and do everything yourself at once as all work and no play ‘makes Jack a dull boy!’ .  I learnt the hard way !!  Once you are earning an income from your business perhaps you could think about out-sourcing if you find that you are not having the time to blog daily.  You will find some sites that are offering to write articles for you and you can find them as cheap as $5 if you search around.  But obviously you only get what you pay for.  But most of all make sure you HAVE A LIFE as well as a business otherwise you will just get overwhelmed and burn yourself out.

So LEARN ===  TAKE ACTION === GET RESULTS !! – AND make time for family and friends and do something you enjoy doing outside of work while making your small business a success.

YouTube Video Marketing is now one of the most popular places on the internet today and you will find that people are spending more and more time on there now, sharing, liking and commenting on each others videos.  There are millions of people on the site daily making it THE place to use as a platform to reach out to potential customers for their business.  I have listed four tips below to help you attract the right people to your videos that could also help you in your rankings with Google because as you know Google owns YouTube as well.

 

1)      Quality Content for YouTube Video Marketing

            I am sure you have come across some videos that you never watch to the end as you don’t find them very interesting, so it is crucial that you offer valuable content and the first few seconds are the most important as you want to grab the viewer’s attention, so make that first few seconds about your offer sound curious so that they want to carry on watching and then offer your valuable information so that people want to share, like and comment on it.

2)      Keywords Are Essential

            It doesn’t matter how good your video is – if you don’t have the correct keywords then people are not going to find you.  So it is always advisable to do a bit of keyword research and once you have found the keywords, you want try and place the main keyword at the beginning of the title of the video.  Always place your website url at the beginning and end of your description and always use your keyword in the description as well.  Then put your keywords in the tags in speech marks “-“.  Therefore once people start searching for that keyword then they are going to find you and you are more likely to get more views and shares.

3)      Video Length

There is no right or wrong length for a video but I would say that anything from one to four or five minutes is always a good way to start as people’s attention span doesn’t normally last longer than that, especially if it is a video that doesn’t capture your attention, otherwise viewers are not going to listen to the end and that is where you want to give your call to action.

4)      Make It Fun

            Don’t be too serious when making your video.  It is OK to have a bit of a laugh and a joke and just have fun.  I am sure you have seen many videos that have great content and the person making the video will have a bit of a joke to add in which makes them look like a “real” person.  If you are too serious on a video it will show and can often end up not being a good video.  Just be yourself and have fun making those videos.  So if you want to get noticed on YouTube just follow the tips above and subscribe to other peoples channels where you can share their videos which will almost always lead to your videos being shared giving you more exposure to your business.  One of the things people are always wanting to know are the “How To ……….” videos which are likely to get a lot of exposure as I know from experience if I want to know how to do something I go straight to YouTube.

Have fun and success recording your videos and if you found this post helpful please comment and share.

7 Tips to Change Your Mindset For Blogging

7 Tips to Change Your Mindset For Blogging

Do You Keep Putting Off Today What Should Have Been Done Yesterday?

Doint put off today

Do you find yourself saying ‘tomorrow’ when really you should have done it yesterday and you start to feel overwhelmed?  Well I know that feeling and since I changed my mindset things are starting to fall into place !

Try not to lose focus on those important things that need doing.  You can either give in to temptation or stand by your values……

Your success is going to come from your passion for writing.  Don’t lose control of that and give in to temptation from poor choices.  Set your goals and dreams so that you can complete them without falling into bad habits.  Your goals and dreams are important to you so strive to aim for them and don’t give up when you are feeling overwhelmed.

Below are 7 tips to help you change your mindset when writing articles…..

1.  Self-Control – if you don’t have self-control you are going to damage your progress and credibility.  We all long for something, whether it is that little bit of extra cash or perhaps you want financial freedom.  Whatever it is don’t lose patience by cutting corners.  Even if it takes you longer, write valuable and compelling content.  Yes, it might take longer than you want to spend time on it but it will benefit you in the long run.  Do your best and write original content for your readers.

2.  Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone – If you are writing about the same topic day in and day out your readers are going to start thinking “does he/she know anything else?” – by doing this it looks as if you have nothing else to offer.  Don’t be scared of change !  Branch out and cover a few different topics.  With a bit of research you can write about anything…..

3.  Don’t Be Impatient – No matter what it is you want to achieve, it is not going to happen overnight (although many people think this !!)   Get your priorities right and don’t be impatient.  Over time you will develop your writing skills which is going to be your investment.

4.  Be Passionate About Blogging – Readers will soon notice if you are passionate about blogging or article writing.  I have been on some websites where I think to myself – WHAT!!  Something that is of no interest to anyone and they are just trying to get a bit of information out thinking it is going to boost their rankings.  Be excited and passionate and you will find yourself writing compelling and valuable content.

5.  Don’t Get Agitated-Stay Calm –  If you don’t stay calm you are going to just write anything without thinking just to get that content out there.  By staying calm and positive will have a positive effect on your writing.  We all get writer’s block at some time or another.  Put pen down and take a break and just stay calm.  You will soon overcome that negative feeling and the positive energy will flow.

6.  Don’t Think Of Your Competitors – Concentrate on what valuable content you can get out there – get readers hooked on reading what you write – you have to get them to KNOW, LIKE and TRUST you and if you are envious of other bloggers that will get you nowhere.  As they say ‘things can only get better’ and you will eventually conquer your competitors with YOUR compelling content !! Never think of quitting by thinking that the grass is greener on the other side …..  A little change is all it needs.

7.  Don’t Be Humble – Always be proud of the work you produce and know that there is always room for improvement – if someone criticises something in your work, take it on board and know that you can learn from this.  Don’t think that you know all there is to know.  Even the great gurus and mentors are still learning daily.

So, don’t take shortcuts thinking this is going to get you there faster.  Change your mindset, be YOU and you will earn that trust and credibility that you deserve.

How Google+ Can Help Your MLM Business

How Google+ Can Help Your MLM Business

how-google-can…r-mlm-business/ ‎

Google+

You can advertise your business and blog posts on Google+ ensuring that you get more recognition for your MLM Business

Google+ has been running now for roughly 4 years, now being one of their social networking programmes.

Many critics were arguing about Google+’s success and failure, but it is quite obviously a success as it is a great social media programme.  Some people are claiming it is just a dream on Google’s part but at the end of the first year there was 250,000,000 accounts created and with 150,000,000 people using it every month, 50% of which sign in on a monthly basis and it was claimed in a recent study that people spent about six to seven hours a month on Facebook against just three minutes a month on Google+.

But what they don’t realise is how powerful Google+ is for their MLM business.  Plus it is growing stronger by the day.  Google+ is not just another social destination.  They are also adding to all their other platforms like Google Search, Images, Maps, Youtube etc.  Google created an ad platform that dominates the web today.  Google has control of over 44 percent of global online ad revenues, whereas Facebook has only 31 percent.

To gain advantage Google realises that is has to harness people’s social, local and real time interactions into the search results and that it is not a place to hang out like Facebook, but that it is a structure and set of tools which then lets Google bring all its advantages of social media into their already existing framework.  What they mustn’t do is fail to incorporate the social demands of the people that use it.

Today there are over one million branded companies on the internet and like with Facebook and other social media sites, they are all wanting you to like and share their businesses, which is pushing their rankings up higher in Google and other search engines.

If Google can stay dominant and keep up with what their users need for social influence on the products and services they already have, they will remain a dominant and profitable force on the internet for a very long time to come, and it will be a challenge for anyone to beat them.

It is hard to believe but Google has one billion registered and 359 million active users searching daily and when people click on ads for just cents per click they still have an abundance of revenue on which to build.

Yes, people spend a lot of time on Facebook these days, but Google+ is going from strength to strength and it is a great way to get your business seen.  Another great thing about Google+ is the fact that you can have a ‘hangout’, where you can hang out with your team members and have a meeting.  It is also a great place for families and friends, especially if they are scattered all around the world, like so many are today.  You can have up to nine members on at the same time and if it is family it is a great way of having a family reunion plus you can put on all sorts of silly outfits !!

So what are your views?  Can Google+ overtake Facebook?

Will your State Pension be Enough?

Will your State Pension be Enough?

Will your State Pension be enough for you to live the Life Of Your Dreams?

will-state-pension-enough/

Will Your State Pension Be Enough

Do you think “will your state pension will be enough” for you to live the life you have always wanted and dreamed about?  If you answer NO to this then isn’t it about time you thought about how you can earn that bit extra to supplement your pension so that you can have all the little extras in life.  I am sure there are many people out there like myself who are on State Pension that know that it does not go very far and for the younger generation it is going to get even harder.  With so many people out of work (some by choice ! who just don’t want to work) and others that have been trying so hard for months, sometimes years to find a suitable job with a decent salary but just cannot seem to find one.

By the time the younger generation reach pension age it is quite likely that there will not be a state pension any more and if they are not in work and not paying into a pension scheme then what are they going to do?  Therefore a lot of people nowadays are turning to internet marketing as they know if they get in with the right company and get the right training and support then they can build to that residual income which is going to give them a better quality of life.  I know there are a lot of sceptical people out there (I was one of them a few years ago) but as I said – The Right Company – The Right Training and The Right Support there is no reason why you cannot work and build to achieve that extra income.  I know there are a lot of people who would prefer to have a steady job and know that they are getting that monthly wage coming in.  But why not do both?

When I was younger I was working three different jobs a day just to make ends meet and I know there are also others out there doing the same.  If I had known about these opportunities when I was younger I know I would have done this years ago.  But at least I know I am going to achieve my goals and live comfortably in my retirement.

Below is a video recorded by a great mentor and leader Gavin Mountford.  Please take a few minutes to listen to what he has to say :

Setting Goals and Why You Should Track Them

Setting Goals and Why You Should Track Them

Tracking Goals

Goal conversion tracking is one of the most efficient ways to measure and improve your business objectives

Examples of Useful Goals and why you should track them …….

  • Contact us – track when users contact you for more information or help.
  • Newsletter subscriptions – keep track of how many people are signing up for your newsletter.
  • View/Request product demo – useful if your website sells a product.

1. Gives Clarity On Your End Vision.

Goals crystalize in your mind what you have to do to be successsful.

2. Give You Laser Focus
Goals give you a single focal point to place your attention in.

3. Makes you accountable
Goals give you a benchmark and a scoring board to track your activity.

4. Drives You Forward
Goals are an out reflection of your inner desires and motivations.

So when you start to achieve your goals it gets you more motivated.

3 Reasons Why you should track your goals

1. Gives you a scoreboard so you know where you are at and where you are going.

2. Acts as a reminder of where you still have to go for that day and what you have to get done.

3. shows success – that is what drives your motivation and drives you on to achieve your goals.

It is a great idea to fill in a goal chart every day and then mark off what you have done. This will motivate you to stay on track …..
The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score…. Bill Copeland
You need a plan to build a house. To build a life, it is even more important to have a plan or goal…..Zig Ziglar
Do you set goals for yourself? What are your goals for the next 12 months? How about 3 years from now? 5 years? 10 years? What are your aspirations that you look toward coming true?
Goal setting is the first step toward successful goal achievement. It marks your first point toward success. It is what put your life into real action mode. Without this step, the other steps of goal achievement cannot take place.
Have you ever encountered people who have a passive approach toward life? They don’t set any goals and they just live life on a meandering, day-to-day basis. You see them 1 year, 3 years, 5 years from now, and their lives are largely the same, save for a few changes that are really more the result of others actions and desires rather than their own.

So go on then start setting your goals and track them, the choice is yours …….

I have been ill with flu (from my flu jab) for the last few weeks and just getting back into things again.  Plus having to start over with my websites !!  So I have done my first AGAIN post !!

Worried About People Unsubscribing From Your Email List? ……. DON’T !!

email list

We all want to grow a big email list as we need this to get our business off to a good start but are you worried about people unsubscribing?

You shouldn’t worry about people unsubscribing you should be happy.

There are many autoresponder companies out there although myself I use Aweber as I find that easy to get on with ……

People will jump onto your list either from your emails, capture pages, solo ads, free ads, video advertising and blogging.

We are all trying to put out great content with useful information that is going to help people when they read your posts.  You want to try and please the people that are returning to your website so you keep giving out useful information.   It needs to be appealing to make sure these visitors return.

Are you writing with perhaps just one subscriber in your mind? Perhaps you are treading cautiously because you are worrying about losing this subscriber.

You might then find someone who is a returning visitor over and over again who might be interested in something totally different to what you have to offer so you then try to cover information for that person.  By now you know that this person is not going to join you or buy any of your products.

This is when you have to make it clear that you are passionate about your business and trying to teach other people how to sell, market their products, get customers in order to get paid.  Therefore you need to make it obvious that you are running a business and that you are going to have services and products to offer people.

This person is just being one of your fans but you know that they are not going to join you or buy any of your products.  So it should be a relief to you if they unsubscribe from your list.  It is far better to have one or two hundred subscribers that you know are going to open your emails, read your posts and find them interesting, rather than having a list of a few thousand that you know are just going to delete your emails or not even bother to read your blog posts. Quality is far better than quantity !

So next time you get a notification that someone has unsubscribed just remember they were never going to be one of your future customers.  Now you can concentrate on your faithful leads that are sticking with you and reading what you have to offer.

By using an autoresponder they are able to just unsubscribe automatically rather than them emailing you and asking you to take them off of your list.  I myself have often had to email someone and ask them to take me off of their list, then it doesn’t always happen and you receive more emails from that same person.  On the plus side it is much more professional.

If you make it easy for someone to unsubscribe you know that you are going to only have people on your list who want to hear from you and quite possibly join you one day.

So if you are worried about having unsubscribers ………Then don’t worry be happy !!!

MY WEBSITES WERE HACKED AND HOW TO STAY SAFE

Not sure if you heard but all my websites were hacked and now I have to start from scratch so here is my first post after losing nearly, 1,000 or it could have been more !

My Websites Were Hacked

Hacked

Last week all my websites were hacked and apart from losing all my work over the last 5 years it is inconvenient knowing you have to start from scratch. So I just wanted to share the article below fromWordPress.Org for your information to keep you safe and hopefully from being hacked in the future.

Help I think I’ve been hacked

So you’ve carefully installed WordPress, you’ve made it look exactly how you like with a decent theme, you’ve maybe installed some fancy plugins and you’ve crafted some fine posts and Pages. In short, you’ve put a lot of time and effort into your site.

Then, one day, you load up your site in your browser, and find that it’s not there, or it redirects to a porn site, or your site is full of adverts for performance-enhancing drugs. It leaves you wondering,Why would anyone hack my website? What are you supposed to do now?

The entire experience of being compromised can feel devastating, making you wonder why you ever decided to create an online presence. Rest assured though it is not the end of the world, and there a number of practical steps you can take to address the problem once it’s happened, and / or prevent it from ever happening again.

Below we’ll share a number of insights built over the years that will help you think through the post-hack process (i.e., what to do once a hack has occurred).

Some steps to take

Stay calm.
When addressing a security issue, as a website owner, you’re likely experiencing an undue amount of stress. It’s often the most vulnerable you have found yourself since being on line and it’s contrary to what every one told you, “Hey, WordPress is Easy!!”
The good news is that all is not lost! Yes, you might lose some money. Yes, you might take a hit against your brand. Yes, you will recover from this.
So, yes, take a step back and compose yourself. Doing so will allow you to more effectively take control of the situation and allow you to recover your online presence.
Scan your local environment.
The first place you should start with is your local environment. In many cases, the source of the attack / infection begins in your local box (i.e., notebook, desktop, etc…).
Make sure you run a full anti-virus/malware scan on your local machine. Some viruses are good at detecting AV software and hiding from them. So maybe try a different one. This advice extends to both Windows, OS X and Linux machines.
Can’t Log Into Your WordPress Admin Panel
This happens more often than you might think. It’s not a reason to panic. To get this going you can follow some very good steps hereReset Your Password
You can leverage tools like phpMyAdmin and Adminer to log into your database directly, bypassing your WP-ADMIN and resetting your user in the users table.
If you don’t want to mess with password hashes or can’t figure it out, simply update your email and go back to wp-admin, click forgot password, and wait for the email.
Scan your website.
There are various ways to do this. Today there are a number of greatplugins in the repo that make this process easier.
You also want to unhide all the files and folders, to include extensions for all files files. You can run a search for *.exe files, sort them by size, most malicious code is executable and is lesser than 5MB usually but can be > 5MB. Also not every .exe under 5MB is malicious, delete the known viruses/worms/autoruns, make a list of all suspected executables, check against online database.Caution: Make sure you don’t delete the system files. Securelist has an article on how to find an infected file.
You want to be mindful of the various types of symptoms and how they affect your website and it’s visitors. For instance, malicious redirects can often be found in files like .htaccess, and index.php at the root of your website. While others will focus on the wp-content/themes directory targeting index.php, header.php, footer.php and functions.php. These are the more simple variations ofcourse.
Be Mindful of Website Blacklists.
Google Blacklist issues can be detrimental to your brand. They currently blacklist somewhere in the neighborhood of 9,500 to 10,000 websites a day. This number grows daily. There are various forms of warnings, from large splash pages warning users to stay away, to more subtle warnings that pop up in your Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).
Although Google is one of the more prominent ones, there are a variety of other blacklist entities like Bing, Yahoo and a wide range of Desktop AntiVirus applications. Understand that your clients / website visitors may leverage any number of tools and any one of them could be causing the issue.
At a very minimum, you want to take some time to create an account with Google Webmaster tools and
If you’re currently infected you’re going to want to look at a number of things and when you’re done you’ll want to follow Google’s steps for reconsideration.
Check with your hosting provider.
The hack may have affected more than just your site, especially if you are using shared hosting. It is worth checking with your hosting provider in case they are taking steps or need to. Your hosting provider might also be able to confirm if a hack is an actual hack or a loss of service, for example.
One very serious implication of a hack these days is around Email blacklisting. This seems to be happening more and more. As websites are abused to send out SPAM emails, Email Blacklist authorities are flagging the website IP’s and those IP’s are often associated with the same server being used for email. The best thing you can do is look at Email providers like Google Apps when it comes to your business needs.
Improve your Access Controls.
You will often hear folks talking about updating things like Passwords. Yes, this is a very important piece, but it’s one small piece in a much larger problem. We need improve our overall posture when it comes to access control. This means using Complex, Long and Unique passwords for starters. The best recommendation is to use a Password Generator like those found in apps like1Password and LastPass.
Remember that this includes changing all access points. When we say access points we mean things like FTP / SFTP, WP-ADMIN, CPANEL (or any other administrator panel you use with your host) and MYSQL.
This also extends beyond your user, and must include all users that have access to the environment.
Change your secret keys.
If they stole your password and are logged in to your blog, even if you change your password, they will remain logged in. How? because their cookies are still valid. To disable them, you have to create a new set of secret keys. Visit the WordPress key generatorto obtain a new random set of keys, then overwrite the values in your wp-config.php file with the new ones.
Take a backup of what you have left.
If your files and database are still there, consider backing them up so that you can investigate them later at leisure, or restore to them if your cleaning attempt fails. Be sure to label them as the hacked site backup, though…
Find and remove the hack.
This is perhaps the hardest part of this entire list and the part that will require the most work. It will come down to your individual technical knowledge and insight around website hacks. To get you started though below are a few resources that will get you going in the right direction:
Donncha wrote a good article on what to do if you suspect a hack, it is well worth reading through and acting on, as it goes into more depth than this page.
You can also read How to clean your hacked install
Sucuri has put out a number of technical posts that will help –Removing malware from a WordPress blog – which explain in details some steps you might need to take.
Additionally you can leverage that post that shows you some tricks of the trade to help you get to the bottom of the issue – FTP Tips and Tricks to Help you Clean Your Website.
One obvious response to a hack is to delete everything and start from scratch. Tempting, yes, but highly unrealistic. What you can do however is reinstall certain elements of the site with little regard to impacting the core of your website. You always want to make sure you reinstall the same version of software your website is using, if you choose an older or newer one you’re likely to kill your website. When reinstalling, be sure not to use the reinstall options in your WP-ADMIN. Use your FTP / SFTP application to drag and drop the versions. This will prove much more effective in the long run as those installers often only overwrite existing files, and hacks often introduce new files.. :)
Hackers can use your .htaccess to redirect to malicious sites from your URL. Look in the base folder for your site, not just your blog’s folder. Hackers will try to hide their code at the bottom of the file, so scroll down. They may also change the permissions of the .htaccess file to stop newbies from editing the file. Change the permissions back to 644.
Leverage the Community
We often forget but we’re a community based platform, this means that if you’re in trouble someone in the community is likely to give a lending hand. A very good place to start if you’re strapped for cash or just looking for a helping hand is the WordPress.org Hacked orMalware forum.
Another very good resource is StopBadware’s Badwware Busters forum. This is a nonprofit that is committed to helping website owners just like you.
Using version control?
If you are using version control, it can be very handy to quickly identify what has changed and to rollback to a previous version of the website. From the terminal or command line you can compare your files with the versions stored in the official WordPress repository.

$ svn diff .

Or compare a specific file: $ svn diff /path/to/filename

Consider restoring a backup
If you restore from a known clean backup of your WordPress Database, and re-upload your backed up WordPress plugin and theme files through FTP or SFTP, that will ensure that all those bits are clean of malicious code are gone. At the very least …
What? No backup?
You have two very grim choices. You can start a new fresh site from scratch. You can attempt to manually locate and remove the malicious code. Even the chances of an expert being able to completely clean your site are poor. Someone can spend days looking through files, removing small snippets of hacker code. If they miss one bit, the entire hack can be replaced by the hacker in a second once the site goes online. Read about backdoors to get an idea of what you’re up against. If you’re reading this and have not yet been hacked and have not backed up your site, go do it NOW!
Replace the core WordPress files with ones from a freshly downloaded zip.
Replacing all your core files will ensure that they are no longer left in a hacked state. If you didn’t already restore backup copies of your plugin and theme files, replace them too.
You might also want some tips on how to think through the process of creating a good backup strategy. There are a number of steps to take into consideration, so be sure top lan accordingly.
Update!
Once you are clean, you should update your WordPress installationto the latest software. Older versions are more prone to hacks than newer versions.
Change the passwords again!
Remember, you need to change the passwords for your site aftermaking sure your site is clean. So if you only changed them when you discovered the hack, change them again now. Again remembering to use Complex, Long and Unique passwords.
Secure your site.
Now that you have successfully recovered your site, secure it by implementing some (if not all) of the recommended security measures. Learn more about where WordPress is most vulnerable.

Visual Features Impact Sales

Visual Features Impact Sales

This is a guest author post by Diana Smith

Selling a product effectively will require a bit of marketing and knowing how to appeal to your customers. However, without any specific characteristics that will set your business apart from the others, it is going to be hard.

What Visuals Can Bring?Visual Features Impact Sales by commercial.norwood.com.au

Overall, it is always better to have multiple ways to get your customers to pay attention to your marketing schemes. But, the best way, and perhaps hardest is to use visual signals. Though, you will have to make sure that you are not using any insulting or demeaning visuals, so that your customers are not scared away. But, keep in mind that you will have a short amount of time to grab your customer’s attention, make sure to use it wisely.

Use Specific Cues to Help You

Using different cues to target emotions and senses of customers is not a newfound trick, and it has been already in use for marketing teams. Though, you will have to pay special attention to colors, and what they can bring to the table. Just make sure that you do not underestimate your customers and come onto them too hard. Try to use subtle hints to make sales better and not to impede too much.

Seeing Is Believing

Getting people to trust your business and that you will sell a great product is only step one towards making great sales. However, getting them there will be hard. Without the right imagery, customers will not be even inclined to give a second of thought about your business. But, if you convince them that what they see is great and that they should definitely buy it, you have brought about an excellent marketing plan. On the other hand, always keep a bit of mystery about your product as well, as it could make it more interesting.Visual Features Impact Sales by commercial.norwood.com.au

Make Your Website More Eye Catching

Browsing through various businesses it is easy to find one that you will like, but, in order to stay on a website, and to opt for it, the business will have to offer a great visual cue that will invite everyone to stay and keep on clicking. Furthermore, you will be marking your Internet presence as well, and without ease of access and a visual guideline to take you through the business, do not expect people to get interested in what you do.

Keeping Colors Vibrant

Digital marketing should be only part of your advertising plan. You should also focus on more tactile and tangible marketing as well. Using printing services nowadays ensure that you can gain an edge in promoting your business, as well as your product. Visual Features Impact Sales by commercial.norwood.com.auThough, make sure that you have the right audience for it, as you might have to adjust to satisfy their demands. Do not forget that printing can be a powerful marketing tool, if used wisely and if you have a plan how to distribute material, otherwise, people will not even consider picking up a copy you made for them.

Combine to get the best results, and you should never rely only on one source to get you best results, as you will rarely succeed like that. Keeping it all interesting and playing with visual cues will be a demanding task, but, if you manage to get everything under your belt, you will end up having an amazing marketing plan that will blow the competition away. Furthermore, you should always check out what is currently trending, so that you can upgrade your style, and that you can shift your marketing strategies in a direction that will guarantee your more satisfied customers.

Video Blogging on the go with Socialcam

Video Blogging on the go with Socialcam

video-blogging…with-socialcam

Socialcam

Video blogging is easier than ever thanks to the invention of Smart Phones and apps like iMovie and Socialcam. Now you can quickly create videos on the go, so there’s no complicated set-up or planning involved. Even better, though, your viewers will love the unscripted look, because it makes you more real to them.

Socialcam, unlike the iMovie app, is free and makes it easy and convenient for recording, editing and publishing videos. It also has a variety of features that make it perfect for video bloggers.

Unlimited video length – One of the nice things about this app is that you can create a video as long as you want. Of course this doesn’t mean you should. Remember, the shorter the video the better. People tend to lose attention after just a couple minutes, so if your video is longer than three minutes you’ll probably lose their attention.

Filters – Filters are a fun way to add some creativity and personality to your video. Just be careful that you don’t overdo it. While it can be a nice touch to get creative, you don’t want to take away from the purpose of the video – to share content with your audience and give them a more personal approach to getting to know you better. They don’t really care about all the added effects of the video, they’re more interested in seeing/hearing you and learning what you have to offer them.

Titles/Themes/Music – You’ll probably want to add a title and an ending title (credits) to your video. This can easily be done within the Socialcam app. The app also has some different themes you can choose from as well as different music options you can add to your video. If you’re talking, you’re probably not going to want to add music. At least not using the Socialcam app because there doesn’t seem to be  a way that you can edit the music to make it appear at a lower level so it tends to drown out a person speaking.

Instant Upload/Sharing – Just as quickly and easily as you recorded your video, you can share it. Socialcam gives you the ability to instantly share your video with YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and more. You also have the option to make a video private and share it only with people you wish to share it with.

Cloud Storage – A nice feature that the Socialcam app offers is that your videos are stored in the cloud. So if something happens and you lose your phone or it’s ruined, your videos won’t be lost. All you have to do is access them through your cloud account. 

This just goes to show you how easy video blogging really is. With a smart phone and an app like Socialcam, there is no reason you’re not sharing video blogs with your audience. So, what are you waiting for? Don’t you have a video blog to go and create?

Online commerce and various jobs related to online work are a relatively new industry branch, but still present one of the fastest growing areas in the world economy today. As such, they are a perfect place to find new and interesting business ideas that can allow you to really explore your capabilities and find new employment opportunities.

Web Design

One of the first things that both you and any sort of company that wants to get major online visibility will need is a website. This means that they will have to contact a software company to make one for them but in most cases they will just try to save money and contact freelance web designers to do this sort of work for them. Web design requires from you to be well versed in coding, networks, server and software maintenance and while all this may require some time and investment to master, the rewards can be impressive.

 

Podcasts

 

While most people claim that the internet killed the radio, the truth is that it only killed the stations that were stuck in time and transformed the rest into online streaming services and podcast stations. By creating your very own podcast you can create any sort of show that you like as long as you attract enough listeners. Places like iTunes or YouTube are just some of the many places where you can host your podcasts and acquire sponsors which will provide you with financial benefits as long as you direct enough of your listeners to them.

Online Tutorials

 

Things like accounting, tech support and many other different things can be extremely complex for people who have little to no experience with them. Here lies a great opportunity for you as you can start creating various tutorials that can help people. Things like Photoshop tutorials, 3d modeling tutorials and similar things can be really valuable for a lot of new users and you can easily turn this into a reliable business.

 

Taxes and Accounting

 

One of the most complex things that you can help people out with is taxes and various accounting services. This is what online communication is perfect for as you can process data from a lot of clients and earn a lot if you know what you are doing. Most companies and small business along with ordinary people will require some sort of accounting services and this is where you can start your business. However, you will need some accounting certificate to do it professionally on a larger scale.

 

Programming

 

Good part of the world software development is done by freelance professionals who work from home. Programming is a great business idea and if you have the necessary knowledge you can really build up a strong business from basically nothing. Even if you just have the necessary financial means but no technical knowledge you can still invest into some of the many incubation software development teams.

 

SEO Professional

 

Online marketing and brand awareness is a complex and extremely popular profession these days. The ability to help companies spread their online visibility and do everything from starting up marketing campaigns to selecting keywords for their websites can be extremely important and valuable job opportunity. You can have your office desks Sydney based, or anywhere around the world while you are doing your SEO business.
While internet business can be a really rewarding undertaking, you should be aware of the fact that it can be extremely fluid and different jobs disappear as fast as they are created. Good part of the internet businesses that are present today can cease to exist in a few years as new platform and new technologies are created. If you want to dedicate yourself to online work you can be sure that any sort of migration to new jobs and platforms won’t be too hard but if you just plan to stick to a single idea or segment of market, you may run into trouble. In spite of all this, the range of different jobs, combined with the fact that most of them can be done from home means that there really is no reason not to try your luck with this sort of work.

5 TIPS ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT CAREER

5 TIPS ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT CAREER

A Great Guide Into Choosing the Right Career

This is a Guest Author Post by Diana Smith

image 3 (5)

Choosing the right career can be difficult, no matter how easy it may appear at first.

Truth is, this is a big step for anyone and everyone looking to find their long-term calling and get good at it. However, with a little self-reflection, a lot of hard work, dedication and planning, you’ll find your perfect career in no time.

If you are not sure what steps to take in order to choose the right career, here are some helpful insights that will definitely make this path easier:

1. Know yourself

image 2 (5)

Each successful business adventure starts with you knowing who you are, what you can do and what your interests are.

Once you are clear on what you are good at and what motivates you, you’ll be a few steps closer to your dream job. If there are several fields you are interested in and good at, think which of them sparks your interest and that powerful drive inside you!

2. Rely on your hobbies

People rarely get the chance to turn their much loved hobbies into carrier, but it’s not impossible. And when it happens – it’s a true joy! If your job doesn’t feel like working but doing something you love, you are looking at a long, successful career.

For instance, many have turned their writing gift into freelance blogging, ghost writing, content writing, journalism, etc. and managed to earn a fine living.

Do you like playing video games? Maybe you could consider becoming a video game designer, programmer, or QA specialist.

It’s not uncommon to hear that people with natural gift for art have become graphic designers, architects, interior decorators, etc.

If you are a sports junky, taking a course and getting certified to become fitness instructor should be the first step to your amazing career!

3. Interpersonal skills matter

Most jobs are tightly related to the way you handle yourself in communication with other people. People who are open, communicative and always interact with others well can easily get careers in fields where client-communication is necessary.

For instance, working as social workers, marketing people, stewardesses, journalists, TV presenters, PR people and similar business positions requires a high interest in cultivating relationships with people around you and demand pleasant approach to it.

However, not everybody is a communication-wizard and that’s okay. If you know communication with others isn’t your strong suit choose a career that won’t much require it.

If you’re more the type to take care of others, consider nursing or work as an administrative assistant or office manager.

If you like taking care of people, maybe a job of a nurse, doctor, social worker or other may be just the thing for you.

4. Consider what skills you excel in

image 1 (5)

Not everybody is gifted with a particular skill or talent, but if you are it’s important you use it well! This ranges from being talented to make and fix things to coming up with major IT solutions, video games fashioning, participating in digital field, etc. The options are numerous!

While formal education poses a major break for most people, it’s also fair not to pursue it if you feel you could use your skills in other ways. For instance, if you feel like you’d be wasting your time at University, then start making money just after high school or college. Skilled labor is always needed and you will find it fairly easy to find work.

Are you talented for hair and makeup? Pursue a career as a stylist and makeup artist!

Do, auto repair, carpentry, construction and electrical work feel like something you’d be perfect for? Then, get certificates for any of the fields you’re drawn to and start making money!

Do you feel you would be a great IT expert operating with such great brands like Samsung 850 SSD and alike? Then do it!

5. Finances matter

And while there will be people saying it doesn’t matter how much you are paid as long as you do what you love, you honestly don’t want to thread this path.

Even though doing what you love is super fulfilling, if at the end of the month you don’t have enough money to pay rent, the frustration will in time build up and you’ll end up hating the job you initially adored!

So, being practical about choosing your career is very important. Do a thorough research and explore our options. You never know what good options may emerge!

We hope our guide helped and know that once you find your calling, not only will you be happy going to work every day but you’ll be motivated enough to work a lot and provide for both yourself and your family.
