There has been a lot of press lately about the Ayn Rand character John Galt. Some of the “productive” members of society are feeling like they should not be penalized for the lack of effort of others who are less successful.

They are calling for a slow down of productivity. Just as in Atlas Shrugged when the top producers all left to form their own country.

If the “top producers” wish to slow down, all the better for the people with drive to take their place.

In general, despite the state of the economy, there are many opportunities for those who have their eyes open to the possibilities.

For example, now is an excellent time to get into the field of internet marketing. An online business is easy to run in your spare time and requires little start up cash.

It is known by the successful that it is necessary to create multiple income streams, and learning how to make money online is a great way to accomplish that.

The best way to create success is to model the success of others. This can be done by getting training, and following the advice of successful marketers.

“Free Internet Business: Fact or Fiction?”

If you have ever considered a a start in internet business, you no doubt have seen the offers of free businesses in a box, or the next greatest product to give you instant results online.
It can become a chronic condition: you open your email, see the next big launch for the newest product to hit the web, so you drop everything you are doing and grab the free info. Only to see how much better the full paid version is, you might even buy it. But do you ever get around to fully utilizing and learning about it? Or does it sit on your hard drive taking up memory?

I finally found the solution to this cycle. I found quality training and started using it to promote my internet home business opportunity. I stopped reading and reacting to each and every email from affiliates marketing the recent launch of “Google Hits” or whatever it is this season.

“Baby Stepping to Success”

I found ways to focus on the small steps that will have a cumulative effect on my business. The best online businesses are based on “white hat” techniques. Google and the public are getting smarter and savvier all the time. What works one month as an exploitation of a loop hole in the search engines, will certainly not continue to work over time.
It is a more than a pain and an inconvenience to rebuild your business every time Google is overhauled.

What Portal Feeder is not:

Portal feeder is not for the the get rich quick seekers. It is for anyone ready to build a real internet based business. It requires commitment and is an investment in yourself and your future.

Place yourself in the position to make 2009 the year of your internet business success!

Just as the internet was gaining popularity, I had the idea that the computer could be looked at as a money dispenser, and I just had to find the right key.

Learning the techniques necessary for success is not a always a walk in the park. Anyone with the desire to learn can, but to see the kind of success that you dream about takes time.

The current state of the internet is about building relationships with people, and that doesn’t happen overnight.

If you have looked into what it takes to be successful online, you have likely heard things like position yourself as an expert and build trust in your readers before you sell to them.

Often these simple things get overlooked as we put on our marketer hats and try to earn the first few dollars online.

“People like to buy, -They don’t want to be sold to.”

Once you can get past coming off as desperate for a sale, you open up to allow people to get to know and trust you. If you are interested in building a serious web presence this can be more valuable than a sale to someone you may never be in contact with again.

Joining social sites such as sta.rtup.biz on ning, can rapidly build your list of contacts. Just be sure to remember to build friendships, and allow people to get to know you rather than going for a hard sell.

If you are looking for success in any area of your life it is important to be completely honest with yourself.

Are you the type who tries and when things don’t go the way you want them to do you give up?

Or do you keep trying for success until you achieve it?

Many people may try and “fail”. But if you can learn to stop judging your outcomes, you will be able to see your seeming “failures” for what they are:

RESULTS.

You tried something and you got a result, if you didn’t happen to like the result, you can change what you did so that you get the result that you do want.

“At least don’t be that person who fails to try”

Keep persisting until you get the outcome that you do desire.

This is a universal concept because it can be applied to all areas of your life; building a business, creating a career, or creating a great relationship.

The people that you see as experiencing lives of abundance that inspire envy, have persisted (often through adversity) to create their life with passion.

Intelligence as little to do with it, it’s what you do with what you’ve got that makes a great difference in your life.

If you are building a home based business, learn the techniques that bring success, and keep repeating them until you reach your goals.

It is easy to let your mind get in the way. We all harbor doubts and lack of confidence at one time or another.

Learn to tune out the negative, and persist. In spite of everything that life can throw at you, you can create your life in the style you know you deserve!

When setting out to create success with a home based business, you must be ready for change in your life.

You need to make the shift from being an employee to a business owner.

This is where many people run into blockages- As employees we are used to being told what to do. So although you have the freedom in choosing what you do when you start your own business, it is important to have direction, focus and self confidence.

When making the shift from employee to a business owner, there is a lot of personal growth involved. You will likely work harder than you ever have, and it’s well worth it. If you have been an employee all of your life it is a big shift to undertake.

The guidance of a mentor or a team can really help you take your home based business building efforts to the next level.

Working closely with a mentor who benefits by you building a business, can give you the focus that you may find you lack on your own. They have the larger vision of the business in mind, and are ready to help you get there.

A good mentor will  provide you with necessary training you need to be a home based business success story, and not a part of the many who try and fail.

As I search and continually educate myself about trends in the Web 2. world, I see again and again the importance of being a real person .

Sites such as Digg ask you to confirm that you are a real person when submitting a Digg, and in general social sites are for socializing and not promoting your wares. However, the savvy business person sees that there are captive audiences in these online comunities so it is hard to stay away.

This creates a dilemma:

“How can a person market in Social Media?”

Anti-spam rules are strictly enforced, and you risk being banned by a service if you abuse it.

The best tactic is to create a realistic profile in and use the sites as they are intended. Especially of you are starting out, you can get a feel for how and why these sites are popular.

It also helps keep you keep it real, after all if you really would not recommend something to your friends, should you be selling it?

Through creating a web presence I have had old friends find me, and that would have never ben possible without Web 2.0 sites.

In spite of whatever may have happened in the last year, many people are turning to a home based business to create an alternative income.

Even in what many are labeling “tough” economic times, there are many business opportunities that can succeed.

Certain kinds of products will continue to have a high demand. Items such as nutritional and weight loss products will likely always be in demand. As will business opportunities, because we all want to look better, feel better, and make more money.

In the maze of home based business opportunities, how can you select the best one?:

• Figure out your income goals.
• Research business opportunities online.
• Educate yourself about business opportunities.

The most important thing is to be clear on your goals, and keep in mind that you are your most important asset when it comes to home based business success.

If you are thinking of building your business on line, it helps to have a big picture of how internet marketing works.

As you begin to market on line it can seem overwhelming. It is easy to get discouraged because it takes time to see results from everything you are doing.

It is also easy to get stuck on a simple issue that is giving you trouble. This is when it is nice to have a knowledgeable leader or mentor to guide you.

Another pitfall when building your home based business is not knowing where to start. Everything seems so important, so it is easy to panic and not focus your energies.

The “must haves” of internet marketing:

1) A website or blog is important for people to find you and what you have to offer.

2) You need to know a how to create links to your blog or site. Most blogs have a link button that you can use to insert links, so you can likely get by without knowing Html.

3) You also need to know some simple methods of promoting your site or blog. Methods of promotion include submitting articles to article directories and ezine sites, and creating pages on sites such as Squidoo or Hubpages.

An improtant thing to keep in mind is “Attraction Marketing”. Remember that you do not want to reach just anyone, you want to reach the people who are actively looking for a solution to a problem that they are having.

Here is a video by a member of the network marketing community that I am a part of, on internet marketing:

Recession on the way? Why is now the time to start a home based business?

If you are ready to take control of your financial destiny, a home based business may be a right fit for you.

What are the options available? Given the sate of the economy what type of business would succeed?

First of all you need to provide solutions in your business.

Luxury items are going to be the first things to be cut from all budgets if times are lean. So it does not make sense to start selling something that is extravagant.

What can you offer people that they need or want regardless of the economy?

Everyone dreams of success, and living an abundant lifestyle. Can you offer them a way to make it a reality?

Many easy home based business opportunities promise great success, but do they really deliver?

If you are considering creating a home based business here are the top three things to keep in mind:

1)Training-Is training provided? Does the company or group that you are thinking of becoming involved with offer training in how to make your business a success?

If there is no training, do you have a clear plan on how to make your business a success?

2)The Product Company- What are the products like? Do you have faith in the products and the company? Does the company have a good return policy? How long has the company been in business?

Make sure that you are becoming involved with a company that isn’t going to fold in a few months or years. Leaving you in the lurch.

3) You- Are you comfortable talking on the phone? At some point in your recruiting process you will have to talk to your prospects, if this is an area of weakness how are you prepared to overcome it?

One way of overcoming some of these obstacles is becoming invloved with a home based business community. A coop approach to marketing and advertising is becoming the way for independant marketers to leverage the power of doing business as a group.

In some communities a divison of members into teams is allowing indivdual marketers to combine their efforts, so that people who dislike the phone calls can focus on network marketing and vice versa.

By pooling resources, a large advertising budget can be created. This is great because one of the biggest obstacles in any business is finding enough money for advertising to make the business a success.

Are you focused on creating great success in your life?

Learn more about creating success with your own home based business through harnessing the power of community.

There is a new concept creeping into Internet marketing. It’s the use of a coop to build your business. By using a coop you can get more accomplished than you would on your own.

Using  coop for advertising has benefits. You can access a larger audience for your offer than you would be able to afford on your own. The community that I am a part of pools our money, to create an advertising budget that we see reaching $40,000.00 a month.

Another benefit of working with a community is the ability we have to support each other in all of our online endeavors. We use current techniques such as bookmarking community member’s sites and blogs to improve the chances of people finding our unique opportunity.

There are other more intangible benefits to working with a community. There is the feeling of support that we receive from attending webinars, and participating in conference calls with other members. Starting an on-line business can feel isolating at times, so it’s great to feel that others are seeing your efforts, and applauding them.
