Warriors Among the web
2007-12-18 17:17:00
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Sure that quotation applies to.... some portion of beginning a business on the web. In my opinion, I say when in Rome, start breaking off a piece that European pie and establish your own country! "Ivy... are we talking about ruling the web now?" Not all of it... ;)The internet as I've said before, is a breeding ground for full blown marketing. This is the territory that we've been given to tread on. For internet entrepreneurs, it's like a battlefield. We all want a piece of that land! What entrepreneur wouldn't want a piece of Myspacetopia, or Youtubia? Who wouldn't want the land of Diggnation or the Facebook Empire? Wouldn't you like to become the next King John Chow, or Emperor Tom Anderson? The answer should be yes, but heed these words....everyones journey is different!That land has already been tread on, following in their footsteps just makes deeper foot prints! And furthermore, once you reach their destination... well, it's already...

What drives you?
2007-12-18 16:35:00
The first time I mentioned to one of my friends the goals I want to reach next year financially, the reaction I received was a "Wow, good luck with that"... Thanks pal! :P. On a serious note, my friend mentioned how he wasn't driven enough for something like that, which got me thinking. What is the initial drive behind the minds of these entrepreneurs that pushes them to be successful? Well, I suppose I can answer that question from my point of view, seeing as how I am one of those strong willed individuals. It's not necessarily the money or power running your own business, it's mostly the pride for me. Remember when you were a little kid in elementary school, and your teacher gave you an assignment to do a project completely based off of your creativity. You could have built a volcano, or sculpted Mount Everest out of paper mache' like what all the other kids were doing. Instead, you wanted to be different and build something bigger and better because creating is what you lov...

Where have I been?
2007-12-17 02:14:00
Okay, so first off, I'd like to apologize for my prolonged posting of a new entry. I have been researching and preparing vigorously for a brand new website that I hope to launch before Christmas. I figured I'd cut back on writing about what I was going to do, and to just do it as I've mentioned in many posts before this one. However, Good news! I don't know if you've noticed, but the YOEG just initiated it's new member only a few days ago as you will see on the right side of the page.I welcome Shantella Spriggs, a 19 year old aspiring entrepreneur, into the Young Online Entrepreneurs Guild. It really does inspire me to see other young aspiring driven individuals who have set a goal towards their success. Once more members sign join, I will be setting up a permanent website for the YOEG. That way, other driven individuals can receive inspiration and advice from each other, and hopefully network. I would love for the YOEG to grow to as big as 1000 members world wide.If you are u...

Overload, Sizzle, Idea!
2007-12-10 22:21:00
So I've pretty much been researching my little tush off all day. I mean really, reading blogs authored by young entrepreneurs, experienced businessmen, you name it... It was until the very informative blog post of Paul the uberaffliate (http://www.uberaffiliate.com), he mentions that instead of filling your brain constantly with all of the information... just do it just as Steven Kovar said... With that being said... I took about... a 15 minute break and since I was bored, began research again... then I took another break. I figure since I truly have the desire to create a successful online business, that it will come. Sure enough... it did! I do have a great idea right now that would probably only take me a short time to set up, purchase and execute. I will reveal the site once it has been launched, but in the mean time, preparation....I've learned a lot upon reading the Uberaffiliates blog. For one, it does take a lot of money to successfully market your affiliate program, so I ...

More research tomorrow
2007-12-10 03:20:00
Sorry not much was posted today. The actual venture begins tomorrow! Besides my actual intro to the blog and money making basics, I'll post more tomorrow on what I've been doing so far to accomplish my goal of 5-figure income by spring. As you can see, since my launch on Tuesday I've been focusing primarily on getting traffic to my blog. The secret behind my traffic is definitely from the teachings of the blogger, John Chow. I've done everything from search engine submissions, to RSS submissions, blog posts, joined blog communities, advertised my blog via craigslist, technorati submission, posting comments on other blogs, link referrals, getting involved in forums, submitting my RSS feed to over 20 different sites, and Entrecard!!! Whew..... that was a big list. Search engine traffic hasn't even kicked in yet, but I do see great results so far with basic manual promotion. Check it out! It's not much, but it will grow bigger in time! Getting blog traffic is definitely a lot dif...

Live 2.0 - First Impression counts!
2007-12-08 15:43:00
As a web designer, I've always focused primarily on the look of a website before the content. Make no mistake that content isn't as important, these 2 actually go hand in hand. You may have a website packed with great content, but if your design is poor and hard to navigate, your first time visitors may become your last time visitors. I always emphasize on a simple CLEAN design because the internet is practically a world of convenience. I tend to get frustrated when a page takes 15 extra seconds to load, not even to think of when it's actually done loading, and I can't find how to get to the content I'm looking for.If you are to launch a website its best to higher a web designer that will understand the image that you want to go for, but if you are a personal blogger and want to search for a theme to use, here is my advice for you:What makes a web design a GOOD design? Well, design is based on preference and image. If your blog is about business, yet you have hearts and stars ...

Entrecard, bloggers gold
2007-12-08 15:26:00
What's this new thing that all bloggers are raving about? Entrecard is a brand new way for bloggers to not only network with other bloggers from their specific criteria, but to also get a chance to be advertised on extremely popular blogs. I recently joined up with Entrecard last night and found my self actually having fun dropping cards on all the blogs I could get my hands on.The way Entrecard works is on a system of credits. You gain credits by dropping off cards on other blogs, as well as receiving cards from other bloggers. Then you can use those credits you've earned to advertise your entrecard for a full 24hrs on a bloggers page by browsing through the "campaign" section. Credits are then also earned by bloggers who want to advertise on your blog as well. It's never ending cycle of you collecting and spending credits on traffic to your blog! Everybody wins!I haven't purchased any advertisements yet in terms of getting traffic from other bloggers, but I feel Entrecard is a...

Understanding the Universal Laws
2007-12-07 15:28:00
I know that I've mentioned the laws of attraction before, but there is just so much more to it that I couldn't just leave it at one simple definition.I guess you could say when it comes to prosperity and becoming a successful entrepreneur, I look at it from a completely different angle than most. Of course everything great comes from a great amount of hard work, but your hard work will go in vain if your mind isn't in the right place. What would be the point of hoping, praying and wishing you could become extremely wealthy, while on the other hand you constantly worry about not being able to pay your bills, and seem to always plan for the worse.The Univers e is like a genie in a bottle that literally works by "Your wish is my command". It doesn't need you to use a big megaphone to shout out to the clouds what you want. You tell the universe what you want with your mind and by how you think.All of our minds are connected through a part of mind called Universal Mind and every time ...

The blog and creator of friendfury.com. The first thing I noticed about this blog, me being a web/graphic designer, was the layout. Theres nothing better than having a clean blog layout that's soothing to the eyes. It may not seem like a big deal to some, but I hate having to go to a blog and trying to find where the article begins and ends.So tip #1 to all bloggers out there..."Keeping it simple and clean, is a money making machine!"I just wanted that passage to rhyme.Okay so on to the important things. I've read through a couple of his posts and the About Me section and the blog that stuck out to me the most (probably because it's on the first on the page) is the "Just Do It" post. As an aspiring young entrepreneur, I do find myself a times focusing too much on how to execute the plan rather than just doing it.Steven Kovar - Just Do It For example, the website my business partners and I launched in August was actually thought up way back in March. Our initial plan was to make ...

Quick Start on Web Traffic
2007-12-06 15:19:00
After launching a site that now averages at 2000 visits a day, I've learned a few techniques that I wish I would have done since the site had launched.Being a complete newbie to internet marketing, I thought setting up the site was the hard part. We all know this is completely false. In terms of SEO and traffic sources here are a few tips I would recommend you keep in mind while developing your site before launch, and what to do after launch.1. Make sure the title of your web pages relates to the content you are holding on your site. Having a page title that just says your name, yet the site is about making money online doesn't really do much for search engines. It's fine to have your name as the domain name, but make sure you put somewhere in your title what your web content holds. eg. The name of my url is live20.blogspot.com, but the title of my site is "My Endeavor to Online Riches - Making Money Online. That way, search engines will know what to associate my site with. ...

Slim paged Success or Scams?
2007-12-06 00:35:00
While browsing for ways to make money online, we've all encountered at least 10 different kinds of these slim full-page ads for making money online. You know, like this dude right hereTy Coughlin, the millionaire beach bum. http://www.thousanddollarprofits.comHe says something about a reverse funnel system, and... well, judging by the similar design and format of his website, looks to be one of those.."make money by charging people $50 dollars to learn how to make a lot of money simply by charging people $50 dollars to learn how to make money...."I know that sounds really confusing, but I've seen a lot of these before and have actually bought into it one time. It was around the beginning of the year 2006. While I was searching through craigslist for a work at home job at time since transportation was short, I came across a job listing."Data Entry Job! work from home, make your own hours! $15-$20 for every processed order"Hmmz, that sounds interesting. I went ahead and clicked the ...

Young Online Entrepreneurs Guild
2007-12-05 17:24:00
While doing some browsing on Google for "Making Money Online " I came across a site called www.retireat21.com. My eyes widened and my heart filled with joy as I saw the number of successful entrepreneurs my age, some younger, some older, who make millions a year! I love inspiration like this to know that I'm not alone and that its is possible to accomplish my goal. Michael Dunlop, the owner of retireat21.com, 21 years of age, said a quote that popped out to me."....When history is written it seems almost certain that from a business point of view, the first decade of the 21st Century will be remembered best as the Era of The Young Entrepreneur..."-Michael DunlopI couldn't agree more Michael! As soon as I read that, I claimed from this day on I will strive to be one of those Young Entrepreneurs of the first decade of the 21st Century. I definitely think pretty big for someone who hasn't made thousands yet, but everything begins with a thought, does it not? :)With that being said, I...

How do they make big bucks online?

Day 2 : Physical PreparationKnowledge is POWER!Well, it's day two and I'm actually very excited to start learning more and more about how I can make money online from the Young Entrepreneur Guru's themselves! Now don't get me wrong, this isn't actually the first day that I've been reading up on this stuff, I've been looking for ways to make money online since I was 17, I just having been looking for a way to make reoccurring income.I've tried the paid surveys, the pay per read emails, the "get paid to check out our sponsors" and so on and so forth... I can say I fairly made around like... $50 in total over the course of... MONTHS?! Chicken change as my father would call it. Not worth it. I would say those kinds of "making money online" ordeals are for people who aren't really creative or determined enough to go beyond that. Or actually, those who lack the knowledge of what's really going on behind the scenes.Here's how I see things such as "Paid Surveys" vs the big guys ...

Mapping Your FutureAs many have said, Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither was the Statue of Liberty, Pyramids, or the Taj Mahal. As I've mentioned in the previous post, you have to keep your eye on the prize, and the best way to set up the foundation for your success it to map out what you want to achieve. What will be the outcome of your success, and how will you reap the benefits. How will my life look when I start living the 2.0? I put together a collage of all the things that I aim to purchase within a years time or so. The first step towards manifesting your prosperity is being able to visualize your success.What you do is very simple and VERY fun. Find pictures online of all the fine things you want in life. What do you want to do with this money that you're going to make? Need a new car? Put it in you your collage. New house? Slap it on! What if you just want to pay off your debts, why not print out a picture of your depts, and next to it right "PAYED OFF!". Or cancel thos...
