Make Money Doing Almost Zero Work

Business

I’ve ALREADY written the emails I’ll be sending to my email list whilst I’m away. I’ve just scheduled them to be sent at specific times over the next two weeks (with at least one email being sent every day).

If you’re a beginner when it comes to email marketing (or you don’t currently know anything about it at all), let me assure you this is very easy to do. You just need to write your emails on whichever email service provider platform you use (I decided to go with a company called Aweber) and then you schedule it to be sent on a time and a date of your choice.

It really is that simple.

And you know what?

I think this is the BIGGEST benefit of email marketing… The fact you can run a business which lets you live a great life.

This is the holy grail of business, right?

Yet so many entrepreneurs struggle to do this. Their sales and marketing consists of them wasting hours and hours on social media and/or on making cold calls. Whilst I’m not denying these methods can be effective at making sales, they certainly aren’t the most time-efficient method.

Make Money With Amazon

Selling “In Demand” Products

The first – and probably most common – way to make money with Amazon is to sell “in demand” products which are already being purchased en masse.

It’s very easy to spot these – just look at the likes of JungleScout or even some of Amazon’s “Best Sellers” lists – in order to determine any products which may be being bought in significant numbers.

The trick here is that if you’re able to buy the same products either directly from the supplier / manufacturer, or from some other source, at a cheaper price than is listed on Amazon – you’ll essentially be able to buy in bulk quantities products that are popular, listing them for sale on the platform for a profit.

As mentioned, this is the most popular way that people enter the “Amazon” arena – with most people typically gravitating towards products they either know a lot about, or have access to (from their employment or similar). It’s quick and simple… but is not hugely profitable (very competitive), and typically requires decent capital investment up front.

Creating White Label Products

The next level-up for the world of Amazon is to create “white label” products.… Read the rest

Handyman or woman

It is extremely rare in our current environment to find a family where someone is home everyday to do the chores, to fix the little things that go wrong, to organize the closets or garage. It would be great to find someone who at a reasonable cost can help do all those little things around the house you just do not have the time for? Can you pull some weeds, clean up and rearrange the backyard and patio, clean up and rearrange the garage so that the second car can finally get in, put new screws in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets so that they finally close properly? Can this be a business? The answer is yes. You have found yourself a great little business, and based on the sampling of people I talked to in my neighborhood, you will be as busy as you want to be.

Manage Business Risks

Business

When one does an internet search for risk management techniques and processes, there are a number of links that are thrown up by search engines. Some of the typical subjects that are result of such internet searches are insurance, OSHA standards, financial safeguards, issues related to environment protection and sustenance, government legalities, computer back up systems etc. All of these are risk control systems and are specialized topics for risk control. However, they do not help a business to identify risks.

For any risk management system to succeed, business owners and or managers to take steps to ensure that all the steps involved in risk management system are followed comprehensively. Risk management requires adherence to five steps: identifying risks, quantify them, making strategies to contain risks, formulate and implement strategies conscientiously and monitor risk containment tasks continuously.

Complicated though it may seem, for any business especially small businesses to manage risks well, they should follow the five-fold management system. A good starting place will be with the business plan itself. Reading through the business plans with a man from the Mars view will give one a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved. A good strategy will be to think of … Read the rest

Free Business Cards Online

Business

It also means that you can see what you have designed online printed up as a card, and if you do not like it, or your contact details change, it is not going to cost you much to get them re-printed. I should of course mention at this point that free business cards generally means that the actual production of the card is free but you will have to pay for the processing and the delivery charge which is fair enough!

If you have never designed a card before, the websites take you through a step-by-step procedure which is very easy to follow. For instance, you are asked to type in your details in the boxes supplied; you then choose a template and your details will appear on it.

If you are happy with the design of your business card you then proceed to choose how fast you would like the cards delivered. This can be Rush in three days to Slow, which is obviously the cheapest option taking twenty-one days.

If your cards are for personal use, then ‘anything goes’ as far as design goes. However, if the purpose of the card is to represent your business, then you … Read the rest

Mistakes to Avoid in Business Plans

August 2, 2019
Business
  • Write down the plan. Prepare a written draft of your business plan. It should be short and concise, containing all the elements of the business in steps. Keep it current and updated. Keep the main points simple and highlighted for quick reference.
  • Do not confuse cash with profit. Cash is the flowing money you spend to buy inventories. Profits are an accounting concept gained after much sweat in business. Delayed customer payments could cripple your financial situation but will not harm the profit. Plan to build an emergency cash fund to survive hard situations. Cash flow is critical; make a cash flow table in your business plan.
  • Do not dilute priorities. Focus on three to four main priorities and work on them to strengthen the business plan. A plan listing twenty priorities will never be able to take off because of an unfocused approach.
  • Do not overvalue the business idea. An idea on paper may look very lucrative but be a disaster in real life. It takes human power to shape it. Building products, shipping, selling and collecting payments, etc., are the realities of business.
  • Do not confuse a plan with planning. The value of a plan is directly related

Advantages and disadvantages to work at home

There are obvious advantages to working at home. With a work at home job one doesn’t have to travel to the workplace every day and then travel back home when the day’s work is over. This saves time and expense. How one dresses is not so important and generally one has greater flexibility when it comes to scheduling or arranging the work for the day.

There are however also disadvantages. A person feels more isolated and disconnected from fellow workers. In order to do all the work and get it done on time as well as do it well one must be able to motivate oneself and use self-discipline. One can’t be frequenting the kitchen or becoming distracted by personal and household issues.

Business Startup and Growth

In order to grow his business, we started by looking at why he wanted to grow the business, what was his compelling reason. This gave me insights into his values, what was important to him. I needed to know this to help me to determine how quickly he wanted to grow the business as well as how growing the business would change his business and his life.

We also reviewed the structure of the business, to determine whether he was working on the business or in the business. Since he was working in the business more often than he wanted to be, the way we structured the growth through our marketing efforts would be different than if he had been working on the business. He considered whether he would sell his business as part of his retirement plan or he would continue in the business, setting up the structure to support his ability to be absent or work less when he wanted.

To meet his goals for this particular project, we designed a marketing campaign to target a specific group of companies. This included multiple ‘touches’ throughout the campaign (‘touches’ are defined as the number of times a potential client … Read the rest
