Good Business Ideas: Are You Focused Or Scattered?

November 17th, 2011

Good business ideas are a dime a dozen. Do you focus your energy on making one idea blossom or are you scattering your energy with each “new” discovery and secret?

Once you start looking for good business ideas, you will find them everywhere. There are seminars, workshops, webinars, video programs, and books all telling you how to:

• Build a down line quickly.

• Create a business from a business-in-a-box.

• Buy and sell real estate with zero money down.

• Invest in stocks.

• Learn Internet marketing for small business.

The problem is not the products or services that are being promoted. The problem is you and your ability to stick with one program; and see it through to successful completion. If you keep hopping around to all the profitable business ideas, you will not master any of them.

Each program requires a new set of skills; therefore, a new learning curve is involved. These learning curves are the roadblocks that stop about 85% of people from finishing a program. What do you do instead of persisting? You go out and begin searching for more profitable business ideas.

Have you been caught in this trap of starting and stopping? If you keep moving on to the next idea that comes along, you are setting yourself up for perpetual failure.

How can you break this habit?

The following three steps will help you develop the persistence required to successfully build a business.

1.) Beliefs – Remove all inner doubts. What are you thinking? Your actions will always support what you are thinking. Immerse yourself in motivational, inspirational books and programs. Take a daily dose of positive “medicine” and build on good business ideas.

2.) Blueprint – Gather factual, reliable information on a legitimate home business opportunity. Does it feel good? Do you enjoy working and learning the different skills?

3.) Business “Buddy” System – Find an accountability partner. Search for a like-minded person who will meet with you weekly. Human beings are social creatures. If you have a business buddy to check in with each week, then you will be sure to get more things accomplished. There are business forums on the web that make it quite easy to find an accountability partner.

Remember these 3 “Bs” (Beliefs, Blueprint and Buddy) as you develop your Internet marketing for small business.

If you are caught in the cycle of starting something, stopping, and searching again, then make a decision today to change. Psychologists tell us that when we begin something and do not finish it, we are forming the habit of failure.

Free Local Business Advertising Ideas

June 19th, 2011

If you are looking for affordable small business marketing ideas, the internet has a great deal to offer. Even if people are not buying your products or services on line, most people now do their research there first, before going out to shop. This is especially true for more expensive items. There is also an increasing use of smartphones with map features when people are out and about. If you can make it easier for customers who are looking for what you have to offer to find your website, this can only be good for your business. Here are a few free local business advertising ideas that require only minimal technical know-how to implement.

Put your business on the map!
Often internet search results will include map results near the top of the listings. Google Places, Bing Local Listings or Yahoo Local are all useful in getting your business higher up your clients search results pages, and adding your business to these listings is effectively completely free local business advertising!

Is your website search locatable?
If you’re a local business providing a service for local customers, your physical address is a major part of what many potential customers are likely to be searching for. Your website needs to include your address, ideally on every page. You could include it in a footer for example. It is also worth including a paragraph on your website that lists nearby locations also served, so you’ll have a chance of appearing in those locations too. If you have a testimonials page, you could include the location of the customer in the testimonial heading too. This all helps the internet search engines bring people looking for exactly what you have to offer, directly to your website.

Can Facebook work for your business?
Small business marketing includes everything to do with engaging with your customers, and Facebook is now the largest social media site with over 500 Million users, that is one in every 13 people on earth! It is not just for youngsters anymore either, 30% of Facebook users are in the over 35 demographic, and this segment is growing! This is a place where a lot of your potential customers hang out, chat with their friends, and go to get news and information.

Having a Facebook page for your business is a great way for you to engage with customers and potential customers, and if your posts are interesting, funny, or both they are more likely to ‘like’ your business page in order to see more posts from you, and this will keep you in their minds. Your Facebook page should contain a summary of what’s great about your business, and a link through to your main website. Try to make the page interesting and personal, rather than focused on your sales pitch. Facebook is a place to be sociable, and if you think about the way you communicate on there as if you were in a real life social situation with all your potential customers you won’t go far wrong.

It is advisable to think carefully about how you use the site; people do not react well to overt selling on Facebook any more than they would react well if you walked up to them at a party and started selling straight away before they had got to know you at all. People are more likely to buy from you if they know, like and trust you. Mix in occasional posts about your business, offers etc. with a larger proportion of interesting and personal posts about yourself, and share snippets of your expertise relating to your business too. Try to be as open, transparent and honest as you can. The internet is a very public place and people will soon see through any attempt at deception.

Small Business Tips: How To Get Media Coverage

June 11th, 2011

One of the great challenges of being a small business owner is to get noticed in a very crowded marketplace. Getting your name out in front of the pack is one of the key arts that once mastered, will enable your business to grow exponentially. Press releases and media coverage is one of the best ways for your business to get noticed.

But the important questions is… how do you get media coverage.

What most small business owners don’t realise is that it is quite easy to get media coverage if you have a story that will help the media sell their business which is the news and entertainment. Many years ago I started collecting the fuel prices in our local area and released a press release each day stating what was the highest and lowest prices available.

After the first two press releases, one of Townsville’s premiere radio stations and a television station picked up our story and gave us free media coverage on what we were doing. This gave me the opportunity to tell my story and to share what was happening in the local fuel prices. So how did this help our business, well every time I did the story I would make sure I wore my company shirt with our logo plastered all over it and website. This allowed us to associate the story with my company. Over the 2 years we did this we doubled our business so it does certainly work.

The key issue that you need to know about the media is that they are always looking for people to tell an interesting story and if you have an interesting story then you need to share your story with the local media. It doesn’t matter whether you work in a small town or a major capital city, the way you do it is always the same… you have to have a story worthy of the news.

I was recently working with a new Kebab shop and we were looking for new ideas about how to sell his business to the local community and to gain maximum exposure. When I first spoke with the owners, I asked them what were their Unique Selling Point. At the time they didn’t have one, so we developed one. It ended up that we developed a brand new product which was the Worlds Hottest Kebab!

Now if you are going to have a USP like this, then the media will want to know about it. Making a claim like this is something they will investigate, So I worked with him on developing a media release and strategy to get media coverage.

The owner of this shop now has a lot of opportunities to use the USP to get media coverage by promoting to the media fun events such as running the worlds hottest kebab eating competition or crowning the man or woman who has eaten the most of the hottest kebabs as King.

The key lessons you need to learn in getting media coverage is this:

1. Don’t be afraid to send out a media release on anything unique happening in your business

2. Build a relationship with your local media on the things you do

3. If something else is happening in the media, share your thoughts and comments with them

4. Never be afraid of media coverage, the more people who hear about your business the more that are likely to buy from you.

5. Never send out a media release simply selling a product. However if you are launching a brand new product that will change the world then this is something that the media will want to know about.

Google and Small Business Internet Marketing

May 28th, 2011

Small business Internet marketing requires attention to how well your site ranks with Google. A site that is ignored by Google or ranked very poorly will not get the benefit of any of the millions of people who use Google each day. In other words, those millions use Google every day to find the websites they want to use, and websites that don’t rank well with Google aren’t discovered by those people.

Google Internet Marketing

Google is such an important part of Internet marketing that most online marketing efforts are devoted to ranking well with this search engine king. Though there are other large search engines out there, most of them rank websites similarly to the way Google ranks them. This has made the Google search engine marketing methods the standard among marketers. If you can optimize your site for Google, you will likely build a good ranking with the other search engines as well.

Getting links to your website, including links coming from sites that are well ranked by Google, is an important part of the process. The quality of the links is an important deciding factor in how well Google will rank your website. Links from prestigious sites that have attracted plenty of links are the best kind. Article directories with high ranking are useful, as are more prestigious sites like news sites.

Online Business Opportunity

Because Google is so pervasive online, it presents one of the best online business opportunities. Once you understand how important Google is and how to use it to bring in a high volume of traffic, there is no stopping your website. Capturing a spot on the first page or two of Google can potentially drive millions of people to your website.

No matter what your business idea is, using Google in your plan is the key to low-cost marketing that has the best traffic-driving potential. Every niche is served by Google, and a rise in traffic levels can only enhance your conversion rate. And, Google traffic is automatically targeted traffic because it is led by users who are seeking the keywords that you have on your website. So, the traffic that ends up on your site is made up of people who were searching for exactly what you have to offer.

Making Money From Home

Making money from home is largely an automated process once you have a website in place that is Google friendly. With your online business that is firmly entrenched in search engine results, you have the opportunity to make money from home every day. This money can be brought in through sales made on the website that don’t require any further work from you as the site owner.

I Quit My Job – Online Business Ideas

May 27th, 2011

You must have a plan to quit your 9-5 Job

Are you are thinking about becoming an Online Business Guru. If this is you then there is a plan that should be followed. Leaving your regular day job and plunging yourself into the online business world can be a frightening experience for new comers. The best approach is to not quit your job straight away and burn all of your bridges. Look after all of the relationships, both business and personal that you have built up over the past years. These can become one of your best assets while moving forward. Some of these people could end up becoming a valuable of your team in the near future.

I Quit My Job

1. The Product or Service. You will have plenty ideas of what you want to sell onto a market. Most of these will not be profitable but you have to test them out. Make sure that you enter a market that already exists and has a good deal of completion in it. This is a proven market do not try and invent a new product for a new market this will untimely end up as a failure. A plan has to be in place that covers all production costs, overheads, distribution channels factored in. This determines the selling price of your product/service.

2. Remember in this world. We only make money when we sell something to real customers. Selling to friends and relations do not count, it is the people that you sell to that you don’t know that count. Having a product/service that is reusable on an ongoing basis is the ultimate prize. This is the goal that you should be planning and heading towards. We classify a customer as the one-off purchaser and a client as a ongoing that purchases on an ongoing basis.

3. To be profitable in the long-term. It is your responsibility to build up a data base of clients that are repeat buyers. For an online business this can be easily managed by a autoresponder service that collects and records the names of buyers so you are able to build up a long term relationship with these people. These clients end up on a data base we call them subscribers. With this subscriber base we will be able to send them out news snippets, up in coming offers etc within our online business.

4. Forget all the hype you see online how you can make these great streams of money in a matter of months without have to do hardly anything for it. That is all rubbish, a real business does take time and energy to develop. The time frame can be anything from six months if you’re lucky to 1 to 2 to 3 or more years. This is what 97% of people do not want to know about.

5. Funds. Make sure you have sufficient funds to back up your new venture. If you are buying things for your dream out of your grocery money then you are irresponsible to yourself and are not good candidate to be successful with an online business. This way is recognized as an outright gambling approach to business which is fraught with danger. Setting up a business has a calculated gamble risk element which is okay.

6. If you are to leave your fulltime job to pursuer your online dream then make sure you have enough funds stashed away to cover you for at least 12 months if you were to not make a profit from your online adventure.

I Quit My Job

The plan is to get your new offline business to the point that it is generating a minimal profit that you require before thinking about leaving your day job. The best scenario is to leave on good terms so the door is still wide open if you wish to return.

5 Great Business Marketing Ideas Hockey Great Wayne Gretzky Can Teach Us In Today’s Tough Market

May 26th, 2011

Hockey Hall of Fame great Wayne Gretzky wasn’t the fastest, the strongest or the biggest. But he was absolutely superb in his execution of the game. When asked what made him so great, he replied, “I didn’t skate to where the puck was–I skated to where it was going.” As a result, he was at the right place at the right time to make the right move.

To succeed in this market, take a tip from Wayne Gretzky–anticipate the market and ‘skate’ there!

1. Adjust to who your ideal customer is:

Successful business owners are not waiting for yesterday’s customer to ‘come around’. Customers will always do what is in their best interest. The definition of insanity is continuing to do something that no longer works expecting yesterday’s results. Top business owners know that they must go where the market dictates. In order to ‘skate’ to where the sales are, they must learn the skills necessary to work with today’s active customer.

2. Customize your message to your market:

Different market segments have different objectives. Rather than limiting themselves to a generic ‘one size fits all’ slogan, top business owners adjust and adopt their message to each of the market segments they are marketing to.

3. Analyze the market and ‘skate’ to where it’s going:

It’s not good enough to ‘go with your gut’–though that can be a great place to start. Top business owners use every tool to intelligently analyze the market and create business marketing ideas so they can ‘skate’ to where the trend is going. They then can ‘talk’ to their customers intelligently.

4. Utilize Social Media to gain maximum exposure at minimum expense:

The old advertising strategies are expensive and evermore ineffective. By familiarizing themselves with free Social Media tools, top business owners share information while it’s still news. Instead of costly and time consuming mailings and phone campaigns, one post on Facebook or Twitter spreads the news about their business while it’s still hot.

5. Manage your attitude and condition your success psychology DAILY:

It’s tough to stay upbeat in a down economy. It is easy to fall prey to the fear and panic swirling all around you. Top business owners counteract this by never stopping their learning and growth. They hone their skills or learn new ones by listening to CD’s and reading self-improvement books. They are not afraid to find new business marketing ideas and implement them.

Take a tip from Wayne Gretzky. To keep your business prospering and growing, you must stay on the top of your game by:

  • Defining your ideal customer,
  • Crafting a message that will attract your ideal customer,
  • Learning to analyze your market and where it is going,
  • Using social media to communicate with your ideal customer,
  • Immunizing yourself against fear and panic and managing your attitude in order to ‘skate’ to the top of your business.

Finding A Killer Business Idea

May 23rd, 2011

You know you want to start your own business and be your own boss – great news. However, you don’t yet have the perfect business idea – panic not. Here is a method that I use with a variety of clients that helps them create a number of basic business ideas that can be polished and worked into a fantastic business proposition that is their very own.

The method has three basic steps:

1. Idea Generation
2. Confirm & Learn
3. Start Small, Grow Fast

Step 1: Idea Generation – This is about coming up with lots of ideas, writing them down and finding a common thread around which you can start to build an idea. Just remember your business idea doesn’t need to be unique, only the way you deliver it.

I’m a big believer is doing things you enjoy – that way you will put in the long hours and effort required to build your dream business and minimise the agony. Starting your own business really gives you the opportunity to do something you are passionate about.

So here some questions to ask yourself and scribble the answers down:

· What are you good at?
· What do you enjoy doing?
· What are you experienced at?
· What’s your passion in life?
· What have you always wanted to do?
· What are you hopeless at / really dislike doing?

Once you’ve done that you need to start looking for common threads and how existing skills and knowledge can compliment your potential business.

You may find that you are good at organising, love travel and are passionate about wine. Maybe in the back of your mind you’ve always wanted to be a travel agent. Your job so far has been in administration, but your really hate numbers and finance. So looking at this list a possible business idea might be around organising wine tasting tours for high-net-worth individuals. To address the issue with numbers and finance you might have to think about getting someone else involved either as a business partner or advisor.

Step 2: Confirm & Learn – Here we take the raw business idea and start to research its potential. As you start to learn more about the market of the business idea you can start to shape and develop the idea further as well as confirming if it is something that will appeal to you as a long term business.

  • Look to see if there is a good market for this type of business – Google Trends and Google Traffic Estimator are excellent free tools for this research.
  • Examine the competition and see how you could be better, different or cheaper. Also look to see how they differentiate themselves.
  • Do some training or maybe get a basic qualification. This will expose you to the environment of the new market and you can quickly see if you enjoy it before investing further.
  • Talk the idea over with some people you trust. However, you must bear in mind that, certainly in my experience, most people will be negative about taking the ‘risk’ of working for yourself.
  • Get some experience doing some part-time or volunteer work in that sector
  • Go on a highly informative and fun seminar / workshop to kick the idea around!

Step 3: Start Small, Grow Fast – This is about not being bankrupt within a year! You have found an appealing and desirable business idea. You now understand the market better and have gained knowledge and possibly some experience. So how do you put that into action?

I firmly believe you need to test the market for real in a small and part-time way. If this proves successful you can start to build the business and invest more time, effort and money as the business progresses. If your first attempt is not as successful as you wished a) you have learnt some useful lessons, b) adjust the formula and try again.

I would also suggest putting together a very brief ‘twitter’ business plan that lets you shape you business further. This consists of 6 simple headings – each no more than 140 words:

1. Describe your business
2. Describe the market potential and competitive landscape
3. Describe your ideal customer and why they would buy from you
4. Describe how you are going to market and attract your ideal customer
5. Projected earnings and costs for the next 12, 24 & 36 months
6. Goals for the next 12 months with associated actions

If you can sit down and write the above plan in an hour or so, you probably have a fairly well thought out business idea. If you struggle to do this I would suggest you need more time researching and shaping the idea.

Developing a business idea that is suited to you could be the best investment of time you will ever make. It is unlikely that your original idea will be the one that you are operating in two or three years time, but the original idea that gets you started will be worth more than your weight in gold.
