Power Start 2010 – Starting an Online Business The Right Way
Starting an online business should be easy and fast right? At least that’s what you see promoted online. Just do a search for “how to make money online” and you’ll be greeted with many offers claiming that you can make money online quickly with no money invested and get this “no experience required”.
There is no magic bullet. Any business takes education, planning, hard work and perseverance. Internet Marketing is a business and needs to be treated as such but these offers are so enticing for new people wanting to start an online business that it’s very easy to jump right in.
It doesn’t take long though to realize that it’s not an overnight venture and many go to the next magic bullet or give up all together which is unfortunate because if done properly an online business can become very profitable.
Starting an online business is really not that difficult if you’re committed to learning about the business, creating a plan and taking action to implement your plan. This does take some time so don’t quit your day job yet. When I say committed I mean setting aside a couple of hours a day with a detailed plan and focusing only on your plan – don’t get sidetracked with anymore “magic bullets”. Realize that it will take time and effort on your part to reach success online.
So the question is where do you start? If I were to start all over again I would have done my research and found a good mentor and coaching program.
I can hear you now “but that costs money and there’s no guarantee of success”.
I thought the same thing and instead getting coaching I spent money on ebooks and programs that promised I could make money online quickly. Not only that but I wasted many months trying to learn the business on my own. In the long run it ended up costing me much more in money and time.
As they say hindsight is 20/20. If only I knew then what I know now.
So in my experience I was one of the people who persisted but almost gave up because I was getting overwhelmed with information (information overload) and was just jumping from one thing to another.
I was fortunate enough to find a mentor in Doug Champigny. I met Doug first through his newsletters and then on Twitter of all places. With his guidance, direction and friendship I began to learn what needed to be done and how to do it. I became focused on growing my online business.
Doug Champigny is a very successful Internet Marketer and Speaker who enjoys helping people but most importantly is an excellent teacher.
I’m very excited that Doug has recently announced a new coaching program Power Start 2010.
It’s a 4 week intensive course that will challenge you every step of the way to get your online business up and running by the end of the 4 weeks.
Let’s be clear, this course is not for everyone. Like I said earlier it takes total commitment on your part, you will need to follow instructions and do the “work” every week so you can be ready for the next week’s lesson.
If you are committed to start building a successful online business then I highly recommend Power Start 2010.
The program will be on Monday evenings starting on February 1st,
Here’s a short summary of what you can expect:
- Live Teleseminar with follow up question period (Doug will stay on as long as there are question)
- Recordings of the calls will be made available – if you can’t attend live
- Step by step process map for each activity
- Step by step videos for each activity (showing you HOW to not just What to do)
So if you’re serious about starting an online business the right way sign up today for the February 1st session.

I’ve already signed up and hope to see you there – start your online business on the right foot.
Discover The Answers To The Top 3 SEO Questions
Posted by: | CommentsDiscover The Answers To The Top 3 SEO Questions
Even if you know a fair amount about search engine optimization, or SEO, you may have questions. Because search engine optimization is an evolving technology, it pays to stay on top of the industry. Here are just a few of the most common SEO questions.
1. What are text links?
Text links are links that contain only text. The links are contained within a sentence and when a reader clicks on them, they are taken to a different page on the same website. Generally, the text included in the link is called anchor text and it’s a great way to optimize the keywords on your page and link to an external or internal webpage.
2. What are link farms and link exchanges?
They’re bad news. While links to your website are important for a good page ranking, search engine spiders don’t accept just any old link. The link has to be from a relevant and quality website.
A link farm is a Web page designed to profit from linking to web pages and Google and the other major search engines will penalize you for participating,
Link exchanging is essentially a link trade, “I’ll link to you if you link to me.” It’s okay to do this in small doses as long as the website you’re trading links with is relevant to your website. If your website sells dog-training products and you’re trading links with a furniture website then the search engines are going to discount the link.
3. What is latent semantic indexing?
When search engines find a keyword or keyword phrase on a webpage, they automatically search for other related words and phrases they would reasonably expect to see. For example if you’re writing an article on snowboarding the spiders may also search for boarding, riding, skiing, freeride style and so on.
If the search engine spiders find these related words or phrases they have more confidence the primary keyword is being used in context, and therefore they will judge the page as more relevant.
LSI has been an active part of search engine ranking for a few years and as more and more content is published online, it’s becoming more important for webmasters to recognize it and make use of it when writing their content.
Search engine optimization is part science and part art. The science comes from understanding the technology involved in meeting and understanding the search engine algorithms. The art, creating valuable content that includes your sometimes awkward keywords and keyword phrases. As your business grows and your web pages and content increase, you’ll want to stay on top of this ever changing practice.
