Two New or Improved Business Models – it is 1999 again

By being connected with many online entrepreneurs all over the world I have the privilege to see things before they happen, be invited to JV’s in the early stage of the project and also to understand the newest directions. Would you like to own a piece of the business model pursued by Facebook, Ebay, Amazon or Youtube?

They found niches in the market and built verticals on them and ended owning marketplaces almost everybody use. Think only how will be your professional life if you will own a percentage of the earnings from let’s say the mobile usage in a certain area, the Visa payments which are made in a certain neighbourhood or from the Facebook Ads which are placed by companies from a certain industry. Still being in the first month of 2012 it’s 1999 again because they are two new or improved business models available which are appealing to certain markets and by joining them you can have the early bird advantage of being among te first to embrace them:

1. Instant affiliate commissions – there’s no point of writing about how big is this industry … it is huge.  Still one of the main issues especially the beginners have is that it takes a very long time until they see the first check or payment. The instant affiliate networks solve this and the trend in this direction is more and more popular. For affiliates is simple: just sign-up for the account, enter their payment data (usually paypal), find products, ask the product owners for approving them as affiliates (to prevent spam), start promoting using various way and being able to see results very fast. This is also a solution for savvy affiliates who can monetise better and faster the e-mail lists they already have or other promo tools. For a product owner, it is usually simple to upload for sale products, setup commissions split and having lots of affiliates ready to promote their stuff. In such networks both sellers and the affiliates are paid instantly according with the split agreed. The platform collects a percentage from processing the payments. Just recently, JVZoo.com was launched and it is the best i’ve seen in the market. More and more product owners and affiliates will adopt this model either as a primary income source or an alternative to other networks. It’s a trend which will grow exponentially and it is your turn not to miss this opportunity by signing up here.

2. Webinars – What is a webinar? A webinar is an online presentation which uses a dedicated platform where the presenter, the eventual guest and the attendants can be in the most different corners of the world. The technology brings them together. There are many business models for webinars: free webinars with a product pitch at the end, webinars containing an interview with an expert and also paid webinars as part of trainings, coachings and membership websites. For product owners, using webinars for promoting them it is a no brainer because for the pitch at the end, of course, depending on many issues like the quality of the presentation and the product offered the conversion is 10% which is way bigger than the one from e-mail marketing which is 2%. More and more companies and individuals use webinars all over the world. Now imagine that you put such a webinar is a platform where there are hundreds of affiliates waiting to promote your webinar and cash in instantly commissions from the sale of the product pitched at the end. Can you imagine the power of this? Yes, is again 1999 and this business model exists and takes over like a storm. Basically you can promote other people’s webinars or submit your own and leverage the power of the affiliates. Powerful? You can sign-up here to catch this huge wave before everyone will know about it.

50 Affirmations to Create Your Life in 2012

Somewhere before Christmas I encountered an article stating that we as humans tend not to appreciate the fabulous gifts we have and which came free and by default in our life – like our body, our mind and our health. It was a simple idea but it really makes sense. We tend to appreciate more our belongings which took different levels of efforts to be acquired than … for example our mind. I can say this even from my experience because nobody in school told me that the mind is man’s most powerful asset. And if it is an asset we need to invest in it. Simple!!! You know, the formal education is good but unfortunately after a certain point you need totally different resources to grow.

You can find countless of resources over the internet about personal development and how to feed your mind and now as a gift for the beginning of the fabulous 2012 I will publish here 50 Affirmations to Create Your Life in 2012

They are arranged in 5 categories:

These 50 affirmations are designed with a key focus on achievement, confidence and to support you in achieving your goals. The best results will be achieved when you will use these affirmations consistently and persistently. You don’t need to use them all. Use the most appropriate for you or adapt them to match your goals. Recite your chosen affirmations every day, at least 4 or 5 times per day. What is very important is to associate powerful and positive feelings with all affirmations.

Ce au in comun Jay Z, Kanye West si Indiggo?

Am citit intr-o carte ca “Pretul succesului se plateste in totalitate in avans. Dupa ce l-ai platit, este acolo, te asteapta”. Daca avem succes ne dorim mai mult, daca nu avem ne dorim sa vina pe strada noastra dar in acelasi timp unii dintre noi cautam scurtaturi, sa sarim cate o rata sau sa renegociem dobanda creditului pe care viata ni-l ofera pentru a ajunge sa avem succes.

Fiecare om care a realizat ceva cu adevarat in aceasta viata are o poveste care poate pe alocuri are elemente care iti dau fiori si te fac sa te intrebi daca ai fi putut trece, sau chiar supravietui lor. Suna cunoscut? Desigur, poti sa stai intr-un loc relativ caldut toata viata, sa nu ai provocari si sa-ti dai seama foarte tarziu ca viata a trecut pe langa tine si ai stat spectator in tribuna si nu jucator pe teren.

Unul dintre colaboratorii mei din UK mi-a zis intr-o zi: am nevoie sa-mi cresc numarul de esecuri pentru a avea mai mult succes. Nu am inteles atunci dar la ceva timp am citit ceva de genul ca Broadway are pentru oricine o cafea si un croissant dar numai cei care dau dovada de o persistenta iesita din comun si au bineinteles un anumit nivel al talentului reusesc sa ajunga acolo capete de afise. Si acesta este doar un exemplu pentru ceea ce ai de infruntat pentru a-ti depasi conditia si a reusi.

Using social media for marketing – Twitter marketing explained the easy way

Using social media for marketing and especially Twitter is one of the best decision you will ever make in promoting yourself and your business. The biggest challenge is that when you open an account and start to publish (to tweet) content all the posts are limited to 140 characters. You can say that this can be a challenge or even a problem but the reality is that this is an advantage because the users on social media like this kind of communication – short and sharp.
