Desperate For A Job – Well What Happened?

Chances are if your reading this your probably desperate for a job and looking to just get something in the door ASAP. I can understand this and everyone is at a different point in their lives.

 

Desperate For A Job – Skills?

First thing you want to do is figure out what your skills are because if your desperate for a job you must rely on your bread and butter. This might seem obvious but let's just make sure that has been covered.

If your not a dancer or have formal dancing or skills in dancing don't go try making a quick buck in that industry if your desperate for a job. Let's tap into what you have done in the past or have professional experience with.

If your totally green and have never really held a job before…. well it's time you get your fingers dirty and do whatever it takes to get the foot in the door even if it's a lower paying position. If your just looking for a job to fill in some financial gaps then do it short term as it's not a career change. Just get paid and when your up and running start looking to build your career in whatever floats your boat. Be it passion driven or income driven. When you at this stage and can claim to tell yourself that your “desperate for a job” then don't worry so much about the long term career path but more about this being a stop gap to where you will be going.

 

Desperate For A Job – Let's Understand Why

Now at your current time maybe it's a bit harder to think in hindsight but I think this is a better way to fix the REAL problem. Too many people only see the outcome and want a pill to fix every ill when really the best course of action is to analyze why your in this situation in the first place.

Many will deflect blame to a external source like:

1) My girlfriend left me

2) My car doesn't work

3) The job I wanted out of college was taken

There are all really excuses. If your going to survive in this economy you gotta suck it up and just make it happen. Stop blaming other external forces for the situation you are in. These are the cards you are dealt. You can bend over and get kicked in the butt or you can MAN THE F UP and just make it desperate for a jobhappen. All successful people in life, be it in business or personal enlightenment, all go through trials and tribulations but what doesn't kill you SHOULD make you stronger.

Just too bad so many live through tough times to NEVER really understand why they let themselves get there.

Now don't get me wrong. There are times that it's just messed up and there was nothing you could have done and you rolled with the punches that came your way. Well, you have skills so lets use them BUT understand prevention is much better for the long run then finding a quick fix.

Remember what a job stands for. Continue reading →

One of the cool things about the internet are funny things to watch on youtube then late at night doing some searches for “how to make extra money“. There seems to be a lot of people with our economy these days doing searches about finding different ways to give their income a shot in the arm.

Besides looking for a new job or upgrading the one you got let's look at what anyone can do, especially if your reading this article.

How To Make Extra Money – Use The Internet and Computer

Chances are  your reading this article on your desktop monitor or a laptop. Now there are some of you that do read my content through your phone but let's keep it simple and say your main computer.how to make extra money

The economy isn't picking up very well and those looking for a job need to continue LOOK for a job. Don't give up hope. There is work for you out there.

I have been in your shoes. I was laid off for about 18 months during the whole 2000 crash when I was released from Motorola as a product packaging engineer. It was a good time for me and I treated it like a long vacation. I took good care of my wife and life was grand. Sure money was a bit tighter but you just make do and survive, right?

Well, during that time the internet was still growing and marketing and selling stuff online really wasn't taught to too many people. I remember looking for ways to get some spending money while I was in between jobs and all I got was a bunch of cash gifting and MLM stuff.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm fascinated by the MLM (multi level marketing) industry but at that time I didn't want to do any type of offline marketing let alone network marketing.

But…

That experience left me empty knowing that I could use the computer yet have no clue how to make extra money from it. I mean.Why is it so hard to learn how to make extra money online and especially if it could be residual… right? Continue reading →

Social Networking For Business – Enter Facebook

Maybe your new to the industry or just living under a rock but social networking for business is all the rage. Social networking for business  is the art of making sales or delivering service to your potential customers by exposure through connections.

The #1 place to start networking has gotta be Facebook.

Social Networking For Business – Facebook Is A Must

If your in the business of selling products or services then your business is people. Where is there the largest amount of people WITH personal information tied to it?????social networking for business

Facebook

Facebook has a ton. I'm not even going to display a number since it won't matter because it will have gotten bigger by the time you read this.

The important fact to understand is Facebook has people that come back and stay. It's not like a search engine where it points to other sites on the net. Facebook is like a cafe, a coffee shop, a place to hang out.

The killer point in Facebook is that people are tied to it even when they are away from the computer. The smart phone rage has penetrated into facebook allowing a deeper interaction between people and drawing people together.

So how does social networking for business use Facebook? Continue reading →

Security Jobs vs Prison Jobs – Prison Jobs Might Win

Posted on by

I was reading some news online and it was taking about prison jobs and they might be the winner over a security job.

Security Jobs Pay What?

So a TSA agent would get paid around $10-$20/hr based on payscale.com site. If you don't know what TSA, it stands for Transportation Security Administration and you see them at the airport.security jobs vs prison jobs

Now $10-$20/hr isn't a bad gig as long as you like people and don't mind being on your feet but how does that compare to a prision job?

So some chinese prison camps are doing “gold farming”. It's the process of playing for gold currency in World of Warcraft. They sell the gold for real money to players looking to get gold in warcraft.

Some new broke out with:

“Prison bosses made more money forcing inmates to play games than they do forcing people to do manual labour,” Liu told the Guardian. “There were 300 prisoners forced to play games. We worked 12-hour shifts in the camp. I heard them say they could earn 5,000-6,000rmb [£470-570] a day. We didn’t see any of the money. The computers were never turned off.”

converting pounds to dollars = $774 to $938 per day. That is just mind blowing.

Sure the prison inmates don't get that money straight up but the prison's do. This is a case of technology proving it's worth.

Learn a skill and learn how to monetize it and it can be a nice chunk of change you can earn on the side. So understanding this fact means you know not all jobs pay the same. Demand at many times dictate worth and if your in a job that just doesn't pay out I hope your doing it because you LOVE it not because you feel that's all your worth. Your worth is not what society puts on  you.

Don't be tagged. Don't be pushed into a “type”.

From Security Jobs to Internet Marketer

The real understanding comes in that way that many will fail in learning a specific method to make money and this is to your advantage. There is a small niche in gold farming and these prisons have found it. They have educated themselves in the art of it and learned to find a market for it.

What did the TSA agents do?

They assimilated to the system. I mean who WANTS to be a TSA agent handling disgruntled and rushed airport travelers.

Is that where you are now?

If you want to live above and beyond it's time to get your mind ready.

If you understand the power of the internet, then you understand it's a pretty big ocean and you can literally drown in the information and worse yet the information that changes to often.

If you plan to build a business online or just learn how the internet works in making money graduate from my 7 day bootcamp.

Wanna Get More Customers?

Posted on by

If you want to get more customers for your business you better understand the way business works.

Before you can get paying customers you need to have traffic. If your online then your probably trying to build internet traffic to one of your websites. If you want to get more customers you gotta pull in traffic like a company does and not like a stay at home mom that builds a business like a hobby. No knock on the stay at home moms but most do NOT have the budget or marketing resources to compete with companies like Organo Gold (selling coffee) or Melaleuca (selling house goods and personal health).

Until now……

Get More Customers – Go Online

Get more customers

The internet is a huge place to tackle. Many try and fail and many other try and just quit. Before you go on and quit or just stop marketing your business I want you to look at the picture above for my one website that is getting more social love on Twitter than HUGE network marketing companies like Organo Gold and Melaleuca.

I'm just a one man shop with multiple websites, this blog being one. I decided to focus and learn how to get some social exposure and it's going viral. On twitter I have been getting more mentions in my own name, brand recognition, versus these bigger multi-million dollar companies.

How can one person do this?

Wanna Get More Customers – First Get Educated

If this is your first time trying to market online or if you have struggled one of the main reasons your not getting more customers is due to the fact your trying to use the internet when you don't have an instruction manual. If you truly want to get more customer read the basics to HOW to market online.

Education is key to survive online especially if that is going to be one of the major places where you will get more customers. Maybe you have already tapped through your entire list of friends and family and understand no business is built just through them these days. Network marketing is no different in that many fail because their list of friends and family just aren't the best in terms of building a team or getting more customers. It gets worse if your a career network marketer who has burned bridges or cried wolf too much (greatest business ever speech).

Let's get educated and figure out what you need to be doing online.

First off, get traffic by learning what I do. Instead of me charging you a per hourly rate to coach you why not just graduate from my free 7 day bootcamp series that details the steps to what I do online to build a business.

My bootcamp will walk you through the different fundamentals you need to learn to understand how business online is conducted.

After you are done with that it's off to:

Wanna Get More Customers Online – Screen Them

One of the things I've learned being online since 2008 (started network marketing ins 2006 but online in 2008) is that customers are everywhere and there are good ones and bad ones.

I made the mistake of treating each online customer the same and was spending way too much time on tire kickers, what we call in the industry as people who have no intention of buying but wanted to just use up as much of your precious time as possible. Don't get me wrong, tire kickers are essential to any business but the part that messes people up is not identifying who are high quality prospects (leads) and tire kickers (digital data, or junk traffic).

Every single business owner out there building a business online to understands to get more customers for the long run you must educate your clients and also screen them at the same time.

Unless your running a charity, understanding the difference from “data” to “prospect” is huge. Spending too much time with “data” means your spending time with people who have no intention of buying or will buy to use your free trial period then be on their way. Prospects are those who are truly interested and should have your full attention.

So how does a home business that is limited by the hours they can build it – really get more customers…..

Stop wasting time with tire kickers and spend more time with qualified prospects by using a professional service. Many will try and do it all on themselves but remember…..

If  your a business owner your an accountant, sales rep, marketing rep, technical support,  customer service…. there are only so much you can do without sacrificing your own sanity. If you continue to spend most of your time in activities in your business that makes money you will succeed in the long run.

The banner below with MyPhoneRoom is the service I personally use to screen out “tire kickers” and build my business like a professional outfit vs garage shop.

Generate Website Traffic With Help From Friends

So how did I generate website traffic using my friend, friends friends, and complete strangers?

Generate Website Traffic

Generate website traffic

Generate Website Traffic

The key to learn how to generate website traffic is to find out what works within your own budget. You can always rent someone's list or just pump a ton of traffic with pay per click (PPC) traffic but…..

This is FREE advertising.

When was the last time you had a complete stranger take your message and tell all of their friends?

yeah, I know. It's Bizarro World.

But it works. The system works on the whole principle to give onto others and you shall receive. The system has rules in place to encourage this type of behavior and you WILL get traffic like this IF YOU USE IT CORRECTLY.

Driving a car backwards will get you from point B to point B but it's not the BEST WAY.

Generate Website Traffic – To Even Dead Sites

My website above hasn't done much. It was poorly built for a keyword that has no real traffic. That was my fault. I didn't do the homework but I still keep it around since it does still convert traffic even with 1-2 hits a day.

What this has done is send a spike to my clickbank and hops to offers I have on that site. I find this interesting since I didn't have to physically pay per click to get those visitors there. The name of the business is to drive traffic to pieces of content that you have offers for. Be it trying to sell a service, or product.

People's business just straight up suck online when they are unable to drive traffic. From using SEO to video marketing if your not getting eyeballs to your content to sell you or whatever your pushing your not going to make money.

Remember

You make money from people. People with credit cards are the ones buying your products, joining your business, or signing up to use your service. If you don't have traffic your going to be on a island no one knows about.
