Make a blog about something you are passionate about.
Are you interested in helping people find Financial and Time Freedom?
It is very important that you figure out what you really feel you could blog about on a consistent basis.
First step: Who is Your Audience?
You must figure out who is your target audience so you can deliver super-targeted messages on a regular basis.
TRY TO SPEAK TO EVERYONE – AND YOU SPEAK TO NO ONE
It is very important to know who your target audience is. You need to create content your audience is looking for.
Second Step:What is your Purpose for starting your Blog.
You must understand what your reason is for starting a Blog.
There is a ton of work involved so your intention must be cemented in your mind.
Step Three: Choosing a name for your Blog.
Naming your Blog and seeing if name is available.
Step Four: Branding you.
Figure out what your look is all about. The Colors, the font, be yourself, you want people to recognize that your blog represents what you are all about.
Step Five:Installing the WordPress application.
There will be many different options. Most business owners should have a self-hosted Blog.
I would definitely recommend a self-hosted WordPress Blog, this is basically you going to a hosting provider like GoDaddy or Host Gator and buying hosting and installing WordPress on top of it.
Step Six: Choose a Theme. You will be shown some themes pick a theme that you feel best shows your Brand.
Step Seven: Installing Plugins.
These are little add ons to your website.
Click on Plugins and then Add new.
Then it’s gonna show you some of the featured plugins here, then you can go to popular plugins and see if any resonate with you.
We definitely want people to find your website so we’ll install Yoast SEO here, and click install and then activate.
Step Eight: Make your First Post.
Go to the Left-hand side of Dashboard and click on Post, Add New.
Put your Title in and then move to where the body of your Content is placed.
Start typing the Content you want your Audience to see.
Step Nine: Images and Featured Image.
One of the most important things to think about with your post is to have a featured image.
So when you have your site right and it’s not just text you have that little image there to capture it – Okay!
– Make sure you’re on the document tab go down to featured image set featured image.
You can go to sites like Pexels and Pixabay to find some Free images. Make sure they are Free to use.
Step Ten: Widgets and how to use them.
Go to appearances and then widgets, this is a place for all the content you can have on your sidebar and on your footer.
The sidebar is a good place to put your products using the Widget
You may want to list your Published post on the sidebar.
Some additional things to consider when using your Blog.
So let’s check out your website. So again just click the my blog that little shortcut to get to your website.
You may see Create your Menu Here at the top right corner.
We need to create a new menu here so that menus can be a navigation button like your home links, your about me page, contact page, Tools Needed for business and all that good stuff.
You can either click it there if you’re on the front of site or if you’re in the dashboard click appearance and then menus, You can add your stuff here. It may look like we have a menu already kind of created we have home and then sample page,
We will definitely want to create some other tabs So First remove the Sample page, then Click create menu.
Once you do you’ll see at the bottom here it shows menu settings.
You can auto add pages so if want an About me or Contact page it’ll automatically come up here, so you can auto add and then display location primary menu is so it will actually appear up there.
Every post has a category so you could have how to build a Busines online.
So by default WordPress doesn’t know what to put so it’s gonna have an uncategorized category, so you go to post categories and then just click quick edit we’re gonna just type in-home business here make it nice and simple,
But as you add posts one of the issues with having a blog is potentially the amount of spam you might get, there are BOTS out there that just go out and just basically add just nonsense posts trying to get links back to their site.you can add content here, for categories or inside the post itself.
So there’s a few things you can do, so most of the time WordPress will come pre-installed with the plug-in called Akismet Anti-Spam you can sign up and do that, otherwise you can do like a captcha plug-in that make sure that they’re an actual person on your website and commenting plugins like Disqus which is like facebook login or Twitter login is definitely good to help prevent some of that stuff too.

Good Morning, John, At the very first VidCon I was being interviewed by a television reporter who, at one point, was surprised by something I said, and she said to me: “ You can make money on YouTube. How does that work? And I was a little tired And I was also like super high on VidCon Like I was so excited about online video and all the stuff that had come together and so like. I did I did not censor myself. Well,
I said something to the effect of Um advertising. My show has more viewers than yours does, Which I did not intend to be a sick burn. It just came out Like that was the thing that were true, But the answer to that question is complicated and since I think about YouTube a lot and I think that we should all be more open about how all of these things work lets do it lets Talk about how YouTubers make their money Different kinds of content have to have different kinds of support Like this right here very low budget. This is just two guys We could probably subsist on what we call adsense and much Adsense works for every YouTuber as long as you’re not like philosophically opposed to advertising. You click a little box when you upload your video YouTube will sell an ad against it, and then it will split the revenue with you. You get 55 %. This is kind of wonderful. It is not a common thing among social media sites, though they have started to share some revenue, YouTube started doing it way back in like 2007 and 2008.
It’s also part of why it’s such an appealing place to make stuff and also part of why it’s become harder to break in. Because if there’s a way to make money, then people will spend money to make their content look better so that they can compete on the platform Anyway. YouTube AdSense, pretty much stays on the same level and everybody has access to that which is really amazing. But at higher levels you start talking about brand deals. Maybe, endorsement deals, maybe really good tech stuff And even eventually getting support from someone else to help realize your vision Crash Course and SciShow were both funded by grants from YouTube because they wanted more high quality stuff. On the site, so advertisers would be more likely to advertise. Those systems are really hard to democratize and make available to everybody. Now brand deals are a little bit different.
They have started to be available to creators, sort of in the middle class Brand deals. Basically anytime. Somebody pays you to talk about something in a video whether that’s like an audible.com ballot at the end, or it can be a big elaborate production, and your entire video is about the topic that the brand wants you to talk about YouTube advertising is available to everybody And it comes in, and you don’t have to worry about whether or not its gon na come in, but its a really low rate In order to supplement income a lot of. In addition to having you know, regular jobs also live in Los Angeles, where it’s easier to get gigs, acting or hosting, and TV commercials or shows, And if you have more social media followers these days, it can be easier to get that kind of work which is Interesting Some YouTubers also make money by touring whether they’re, comedians or musicians. Sometimes creators will license their content to other platforms. Sometimes videos go on TV and you make some money that way And then you have some creators like Rooster Teeth, building their own subscription platforms.
Client error: `GET https://api.pexels.com/v1/search?query= `resulted in a `400 Bad Request `response:
{
And then, if you don’t want to make people subscribe, you can also ask them to subscribe through services like Patreon, which is extremely important for shows like Sexplanations, for example, that gets really bad YouTube ad rates, because advertisers don’t want to be next to the word. “Sex.” Without the support of Patreon patrons that show couldn’t happen at all. The thing to remember is that different kinds of content work better with different kinds of monetization. Unlike what I said to that lady at VidCon 2010, its not simple, Its gotten a lot more difficult to make your way on this platform, and it has become more complicated, Which is one of the reasons why I recently started a thing called the Internet Creators Guild With the goal of being a resource to connect creators together to give them information and to let them have a unified voice when talking about when things go wrong and what they would like to make them happier.
To be clear, I started this thing, but I really don’t want to run it. I don’t think that I should run it and I definitely can’t Honestly. I think that I’m too biased to be in charge so I’m looking forward to eventually stepping back after helping Laura Chernikoff, who is one of the most effective people I’ve ever met, get established as the executive director of the organization. There is a lot of value. That’s created by online video and as different systems evolve for capturing, at least some of that value. It just gets more complicated And, as those barriers rise, we need to create systems that keep the benefits of this revolution accessible to the most people possible, and I hope that the Internet Creators Guild can play a part in that
Thanks everybody for listening to this, Hopefully it wasn’t too inside baseball John Ill, see you on Tuesday..
I grew up with a mother who was a petty trader and it was normal that I got involved in her kind of business as early as when I was 7. When I was 15, I started my first major business and when I was 21, I went fully into the business world Till when I was 27. Everything I knew about. Building a business was about bricks and mortar. You have to struggle to get an office space, create a product or service and try to create a reasonable market share.
If you’re fortunate to have success in one town or city, then you’ll have the leverage to move to more cities, and if you have reasonable success again, then you can dominate a state and if you continue to grow, you can eventually become a national brand, though only very Few products ever made it to this level, That was the world. I found myself in- the world of bricks and mortar. Until a few weeks to my 28th birthday, A friend who has been building a business on the internet, wrote a book about his business model and asked me to review the book and for the first time I understood how the internet works In today’s video I’ll be Sharing with you, the reason why I think making money on the internet is very easy If you’re new here consider subscribing so that you won’t miss other interesting videos like this. To start with, let’s all agree that nothing in life is easy. This sounds counter-intuitive to the title of this video, but let me explain:
You see, we only use the word- easy or simple when we unconsciously compare one thing to another. Take, for instance, we can say in the year 1907 that it was easier to travel in a car because we’re comparing traveling in a car with traveling on the horseback. However, today we can say that it’s easier to travel by air, because when you compare that with traveling a long distance by road, the difference is clear: Nothing is automatic in life, Nothing happens without effort, but some things are easier, faster and simpler than others. And that’s why, when you think about building a business, it’s easy to build a business on the internet, (having in mind what building a bricks and mortar business means). Why Immigrants succeed in a foreign country To explain how easy it is to make money online? Let’s use the examples of the immigrants, especially those who moved from various tough countries into better countries,
Because these people are coming from a very difficult country, they can easily appreciate what they see in the new countries and take maximum advantage of those things, while the people who grew up in such countries are still making excuses and laying complaints about everything. Similar things happen with the internet. The internet, as we know it today, is mostly appreciated by the people who have tried to build brick and mortar businesses before If you’ve spent like 5 years, trying to build a brick and mortar business, you’ll appreciate what the internet offers. You What does the internet offer you I’ve said it on this platform before and I’ll have to repeat it, because human minds forget things as fast as they hear it build a business. You need three just three simple things. Those three things are attention, trust and products or services With the three assets I mentioned above. Anyone can build either a million-dollars or a billion-dollar company, depending on how big the three assets are Again, every profitable business is built on Attention, Trust and Product
You need people’s attention before you can ever get them to trust you and you need people’s trust to get them to patronize your business, and you need a product or service to make people willing to exchange their money with what you have to offer. So, how is the internet a better place to make money? Why is it easy to make money on the internet? Well, let me start with a simple example: 17 years ago, when some of us were in high school, we only had two or three friends. We talked with these friends while at school and in after school, we had other things to do together, we had to trek to their houses or meet somewhere. Today, if you’re a 16 years old high school student, you probably have more than 100 friends on your social media platforms. I’M not saying that these 100 friends are real or your friendship with them is as important as that of your physical friends. But I’m saying, now you have the attention of 100 people and you can as well increase that number to 1,000
Because you have this huge attention, you can have a few trusts and you can make money provided you’re resourceful I’ll, get into that in a second, Creating Content for Your Product. As I’ve explained a few times. The three assets that make people rich are attention, trust and product, and I claim that it’s easy to make money on the internet, But why is it easy to make money on the internet? Well, it’s easy to make money on the internet because it’s easier to acquire the wealth-creating assets using the internet When it comes to getting attention, trust and converting those to money by selling your products or services. Nothing in the history of the human race makes it easier than the internet
So how do you get these three assets that can make you wealthy? Listen, because I’m about to reveal a great secret, which is not even a secret at all. You see the number. One reason why people go to the internet is that they want to consume content. Consumption is by far the number one reason why people use the internet Think about it. This way, Why do you ever visit? Google? You visited Google only to search for something, mostly content. Why do you visit YouTube? Well, it’s obvious to consume content.
Most people don’t know, but the reason why we use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc is to consume content. You like to read what other people write You like to see their photos and videos. Thats why you use social media When you chat with your friends on social media. Guess what You’re still consuming content, so I might not be wrong to say that 90 % of the reason why we use the internet is to consume content. If you agree with that figure, then you may want to ask me: how is that important to me? Well, it’s important that you know what people are consuming on the internet so that you can know what to give them, because if you can give people what they love for free, you may get their attention and if you can get their attention, you will earn their Trust and if you can earn their trust, they will be willing to open their wallet and give you their money in exchange for your product and service.
Again, how do I get the attention Create content, because the content is the number one reason why people use the internet Create content, valuable contents and get people to consume them. This has earned you the attention. A reasonable percentage of the people who consume your content will like you, while some will love and trust you With this trust, you can sell valuable services or products that will help your audience. At this point, a few people may have some problems. There may be questions like what kind of content should I create What kind of product should I sell? What, if my customers don’t search the internet for my content or even what platforms should I use to distribute content? Let me explain with some personal examples:
I built an Agric Technology company and our products are purely Agricultural related, and that was my first successful business thanks to the internet. What we did was to create a blog wrote, tons of blog posts related to different areas of Agriculture. We didn’t spend money on Newspapers, TV or anything like that. Google ranked our content for free and whenever people search for topics related to what we have, Google suggested our posts When people land on our website, we educate them via our contents and politely tell them. “, Hey, we have experts who can help you further .”. Most people won’t buy what you’re selling for a hundred different reasons, but a few percentages will not and that few percentages – maybe 1-5 %, maybe enough to make you some good money depending on what you sell and how smart you do. It
We later started making videos to promote the same company on YouTube and till today we still make money from these two channels, I’m not a fan of social media, and that has reflected on the way I do my business. Yes, some people say that YouTube is social media, but I don’t think so. While YouTube may be social media by definition, it’s a library or a school for some of us
So I use YouTube a lot for my business and personal consumption of contents. What else should I tell you here, Ok? Look at this Being Resourceful is Important. Most people are not resourceful because of our dumb school system. Most people don’t read, learn or get curious about the life around them. Most people have never read ordinary 10 books about entrepreneurship, marketing negotiation or anything like that, and they want to make money online. You have to know what most people don’t know before you can do. What they can’t do Again, the three most important assets to make a lot of money are attention, trust and product. In that order You need people to know. You exist, (attention, ). You need some of these people to trust you and you need to know how to sell to them valuable products or services. Nothing in the history of the human race makes it easier to get all these assets than the internet.
I also analyzed in this video that most people visit the internet to consume content, Because most people visit the internet to consume content. The best way to get their attention is by creating content. I seriously hope that this video helps you If you like this video you’ll, like our new channel, where we share with you some inspiring stories and biographies of the most successful people in the world, even the villains, We call it FAME TV Kindly look at the description Box to join the FAME TV, We Love You

Today I came across an interesting Article on negative Self Talk.
My Take on the Article

Do you find yourself saying I will never figure this out?
Nothing is working out I may as well Quit Trying.
I am too old to figure it all out.
Studies do show Changing negative Dialogue Is needed to develop a more Productive Energy.
If you are guilty of Calling yourself Names or Don’t Stretch yourself to try something new for fear of failure, here’s how to deal with your Negative Thoughts.
1. Recognize Your Negative Thoughts
So if you have Negative thoughts like I am too old, too fat or I will not be successful because _____Fill in the Blank.
Many of your thoughts are automatic. They just pop into your head without any conscious effort.
Evaluate your thoughts so you can recognize thoughts that are unrealistic, unproductive, or irrational.
2. Look for Evidence That Your Thought Is True
Just because you think something doesn’t make it true.
“What’s the evidence this is true?”
Sticking with The I am Too old example.
You may be slower to grasp some of today’s Technology,
Skillsets are taking you a long time to master.
3. Look for the Evidence Your Thought Isn’t True
Then, create a list of reasons why your thought might not be true.
Although you have not developed a level of competency you were hoping for yet your courage to keep going is moving you forward.
If you struggle to find evidence–which is common when your emotions run high–ask yourself, “What would I say to a friend who had this problem?” If your co-worker said, “I’m not improving as hard as I try. ,” you’d likely be able to find some kind words to help the situation, so be nice to yourself.
4. Reframe Your Thought Into Something More Realistic
Once you’ve looked at the evidence on both sides of the equation, develop a more realistic statement.
Telling yourself, I am moving forward daily on goals and I learn something new Every day.
5. Ask Yourself How Bad Would It Be If Your Thoughts Were True?
Ask yourself, “How bad is it really if it takes me longer to gain this skill.” Then, spend a few minutes thinking how you’d respond.
I wanted to have the right skills to achieve my goals in Business and so what if it takes longer. If it is going to take 1yr or more isn’t it worth the Journey.
Practice Replacing Negative Self-Talk
You might never get rid of your negative self-talk completely–and that’s fine.
The more you practice replacing your negative self-talk the better you will get at it.
The introduction of affiliate marketing may be very overwhelming for beginners.
If you are just beginning you may be easily distracted by all the different strategies available for marketing.
However, if you plan your actions and focus on this, you will make a difference. But first, you need to realize that affiliate marketing takes a lot of time and effort to build your affiliate business, and you need to focus on this; otherwise, you will end up frustrated.
Membership marketing for beginners can be confusing, but when you develop an action plan and focus on this time, it will become easier. So here are things you need to have:
Stay focused
Thousands of affiliate programs will attract you to join them, and promise to obtain huge profits with very low investment. If you participate in fierce competition, please expect to spend precious time around fictitious profit margins.
You must learn the correct method of internet marketing to get actual profits. Internet novices have a major advantage: they can buy off-the-shelf products that can be sold to generate cash immediately. With this method, you can now earn about $10,000 per month.
Find a good mentor before entering affiliate marketing.
There are hundreds of sites and thousands of online marketing opportunities. Search engines provide a way to attract traffic or buyers interested in products. If the buyer does not see the page you want to advertise, it does not mean that the buyer does not get what they want.
You can be sure that other websites are selling at your cost, just make the web-page appear in front of the seller at the exact time when the seller is looking for the product. This is only one example of how member products are marketed.
Online marketing is a scientific process that constantly changes as technology advances. Unless your business plan clarifies the entire marketing blueprint and you have a sufficient understanding of the processes and changes to be implemented, you will likely compete for high positions in search engines.
Ideally, you should look for an excellent mentor to teach you the basics in an easy-to-understand and implementable way without the technical knowledge required to sell products.
If you want to learn about member marketing for beginners, please follow the success stories and recommendations published on marketing forums, review sites, and rank based on the published member sales revenue. The good news is that if you follow the instructions provided, you can use several genuine programs that can bring you a lot of benefits.
Treat affiliate marketing as a serious business.
You may have heard that only 5% of affiliate marketers actually made money. The reason is simple. If you are not suitable to run a business and complete the processes required for profit, then you will not make money.
So, is online marketing effective? The Internet is a rapidly developing and vibrant atmosphere. The membership plan you join must provide technical expertise, back-end support, and must keep pace with the times. For example, e-books on product marketing must provide up-to-date information to help users follow the ethical process used to promote products.
As long as you find the right program, are willing to learn, and find the right mentor, membership marketing is very easy for beginners.
Affiliate Marketing Staying focused
Promote something
The purpose of becoming a member is to promote others’ products, so you need to decide what you want to promote. When deciding on the product to promote, please take some time to understand the product, get as much information about the product as possible, and understand the product. In this way, it can improve your credibility, your readers can feel your sincerity, and people will know if you are talking about something.
Promote your product somewhere
Member marketing for beginners involves many aspects, including building a web page, a website, any form of the login page, squeeze page, or just a blog. Many times, affiliates are at this stage because they are afraid of the process involved in building a web page. However, if you think about it, the construction site these days has become very easy to use, and if I can add, the price is lower. Not to mention the ease of creating a website. To make it easier for you, you can simply create a simple blog using free resources.
Build traffic to your web-page/blog or website.
Don’t just let nature follow its course. You need to do something to help people find your website and attract attention. Member marketing for beginners now involves different marketing types that have recently emerged, so there is no reason to keep your website free of traffic. Compared to previous types of advertising, you need to pay per click so that you can advertise your website, and now you can use other free resources to generate a lot of traffic for your website. This is what they call backlinks. The popularity of a website now depends on the number of backlinks a website has.
How to find good products to promote
One of the most important components of affiliate marketing is to choose the right products for promotion. The fact is that even if your offers are flooded in, you won’t see many sales if the products you choose to promote are not worth a dime. In a worse case, you may even damage your reputation in the niche market by recommending poor products.
So, how to find good products to promote? Before deciding on a product, the following four factors need to be considered:
1) Demand-Is there a demand for products?
In the afternoon, many products were put together, and there was not much research done at all. If the demand for the product is insufficient, please discard it. Looking for products that many people want and need. These can take the form of tutorials, memberships, user guides, videos, etc.
2) What is the commission-commission structure?
What is your bottom line commission? It’s best to check the final amount you will get, not just the percentage provided. I believe you will agree that a 30% commission for 100 USD is better than a 75% commission for a 10 USD product. In addition, you may want to consider whether the product is a regular payment or a one-time payment. Sometimes, it’s worth promoting a regular $10 commission instead of a one-time $50 commission.
3) Conversion-Is the sales letter of the product convincing?
Is the order button visible? Also, check the bonus provided by the product owner. Whether these bonuses are tempting, or just a pile of useless materials makes it likely that no one will care. If the sales letter is not convincing, you will have difficulty converting visitors into buyers.
4) Tools- Have any tools been created for members?
Although I don’t recommend you to use the “canned” ads that come with the affiliate tool, good graphics, testimonials, backstory, etc. are very useful for your marketing. Having a range of membership tools can also be a good indicator of how important product owners are in supporting their members.
Affiliates introduce or sell company products in exchange for commissions. You need to understand this basic concept. This is very similar to selling products offline, the difference is that the sales process becomes faster and has a wider reach, just because millions of Internet users are using their computers or laptops every day to find online product.
Types of affiliate marketing
Today, affiliate marketing programs are becoming more and more popular for making money online. There are many reasons for this situation, the most common reason is that the business has great potential, can obtain profits at a very low cost, and is very simple to start the company. Member marketing now plays a vital role in the internet marketing world. Alliance members can choose different types of programs and start making money online.
Pay-per-click
Pay-per – click is the most common affiliate marketing model for members of small websites, and can be the fastest way to make money. It is a practice for members to position product ties on retailer websites on their websites. Whenever someone visits the merchant’s website by clicking a link on the member’s website, the member receives a certain commission. The Commission shall be paid on the basis of the number of visits to the Member’s website. Normally, the company doesn’t make a lot of money for participants, so the reward sum is very low.
Pay-per-view
PPS is the most common model in member marketing programs today. In this model, advertisers pay commissions for the sale of their products. In this type of model, website owners place advertisements on their websites, and if any visitor clicks on an advertisement and purchases a product, the website will receive a sales commission.
Pay-for-performance
Pay-for-performance is another popular membership model in the industry, it is the highest salary model for members. In this model, merchants only pay affiliate members when their recommendation is turned into action (that is, the recommended visitor actually purchases products from the merchant’s website or when the visitor becomes a potential customer). This means that merchants make a lot of money.
Paying by potential customers
The membership model of paying by potential customers is often used by financial and insurance companies engaged in the development of potential customers of the company. In this model, the visitor, through the efforts of the member, pays the member when the visitor fills out the registration form or similar documents or provides any type of personal information on the merchant’s website.
Pay per link
Members place links to merchant products on their websites. The owner pays based on the number of links you put and the amount of traffic generated.
Pay per registration
After redirecting from your website, the number of people who will register at the merchant’s site or quote for their offer is considered “registered.” For each registration provided by your website, you will get paid

In addition, please carefully study the types of products you want to sell. Check various providers and compare the commissions provided by each provider for each sale.
