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.

Top Traffic Tips Recording and Transcript Now Ready For Download

A few weeks ago I wrote about the Top Traffic Tips live teleseminar that was hosted by Doug Champigny and Willie Crawford. If you’re not familiar with Doug and Willie they are both highly respected Internet marketers with 25 years of online experience between them.

The subject of course was “Top Traffic Tips” and the seminar was scheduled to be 2 hours long, however these two guys ended up giving us over 3 hours of their valuable time and a wealth of quality traffic getting information.

I hope you were able to listen to the Top Traffic Tips seminar live. I did and learned a great deal about how to get free traffic to my sites, blogs, affiliate links and squeeze pages. Doug and Willie covered 14 different traffic tactics that they personally use in their own online businesses. They covered not only what the Top Traffic Tips are but how to implement them as well.

I’ve got to say though that there really was way too much information to take in at one time. There’s no way anybody could remember all the free ways of getting traffic that Willie and Doug discussed during the 3 hour call.

I’m happy to report that the 3 hour recording and the 70 page transcript (70 pages!) is now available for download. If you missed the call and even if you were on the call this is something that you should get and study. This is a great deal of information that you’ll be able to use for years to come.

The beautiful thing about having the seminar as a recording and transcript is that you can use it at your own pace. Let’s face it there’s no possible way to learn and implement all these traffic tips at once and nor should you, that would just result in information overload.

Now having said that, once you’ve mastered the first traffic tip there’s no reason that you can’t keep using that particular one in conjunction with the next traffic tip you choose.

This is how I plan to use my copy and I recommend you do something similar:

The Recording:

  1. listen to the recording on my iPod while driving
  2. listen to the recording on my iPod while exercising

The Transcript:

  1. print it out (a must for me)
  2. read the whole thing – once only
  3. decide which traffic tactic to learn and implement first
  4. read that section a number of times
  5. create a plan and set a goal (must be specific)
  6. take action by implementing that particular tactic
  7. Don’t rush to the next tactic – make sure the first one is well under way
  8. Decide which tactic to learn and implement next
  9. repeat 1 – 7

The combination of having the recording and transcript really works for me. I find that I pick up different things from each resource. I suggest you print out the transcript and make notes so you can refer to them at any time.

Here are the subjects that are covered in the 3 hour seminar

Willie Crawford discusses

I personally will start with Article Marketing. It’s an area that I know is very powerful for getting quality back links and long term traffic but I’ve been putting it off. I’ll listen to recording, read the transcript, create a plan and implement what I learn.

Reblog this post [with Zemanta]

I used to hate traffic but now I go looking for it because it’s the lifeline for my business.

You see without traffic your online business is like having a store on the 13th floor of a building but the elevator only goes to  the 12th floor. The only customers you get will be by accident or by invite only.

So how do you get traffic to your sites, squeeze pages, affiliate links?
