A Quote from one of my favorite books….

There is nothing more gratifying in life than educating your mind, body, and soul.
Here is a quote from one of my Top 5 favorite books of all time.

“Way of the Peaceful Warrior” – Dan Millman

“Fear and sorrow inhibit action; anger generates it. When you learn to make proper use of your anger, you can change fear and sorrow to anger, then turn anger to action. That’s the body’s secret of internal alchemy.”

I can not agree more with this quote. Stop feeling sorry for what has gone on in your life. Take action and make changes in your life that will inhibit a better spirit, mind and body.

Truly yours,

Thomas C. Chandler

So, You Think Marketing Online is Expensive? Or is It?

OK, I am not the type of person that points out all the little obvious things about on-line marketing, but let’s get to the truth…if you plan on getting in the market place, there are so many avenues and ways to go it could very well get expensive. So expensive you price yourself right out of the market if you don’t know what you are doing.

So, I compiled a list of things you can get involved in and these numbers are not 100% exact, but they are very close to the averages. (Yes, I do have to point out that someone out there might find these numbers to high, or even to low. That is why I averaged them out.)

So, here is a short list if some items on which you can market yourself/brand/product/company you name it, along with the cost. So, here you go:

* Web 2.0 Marketing – $600-$3,000 (depends on how in-depth you want to get.)
* PLR – $50 – $140
* Blogs – as low as $300 for a very basic one up to the thousands. Once again, it depends on you and how creative/animated you want to get.
* Article Writing – $50 (1 article) up to $500 for multiple ones.
* Press Releases – $100 – $250 – this depends on how many places you want to be seen and how much you are willing to spend to get seen.
* Books & Reports – $400 – $3,500
* Landing Pages – $800 – on up. This is a very broad number, but can get quiet expensive depending who does your Copy-writing for you.
* Background Images – $250 on up. ( I found a buddy to do mine, but he would have charged me $350 for what I have.)
* Squidoo Pages – %400 – $1,800 – depends on how many pages you want.

So, as you can see things could get a bit pricey for you if you plan on making in this industry. Or you can do what your so called up line tells you to do and make a list of all your friends/neighbors/relatives and bug the heck out of them – WRONG!

If you truly want to get out there with your brand/product you need to be in the market place. The list above is just a simple basic list of things. We have not even talked about AdWords/Google/Bing/Yahoo/Pay Per Click/Facebook advertising.

Yes, we all can do “organic” advertising that will take months to get your name out there. (This too is vital to your business, so don’t leave it behind.) But, I am here to tell you thast you can have all of the above items in 1, that’s right 1 location for an extremely low price. Add up the smallest column on these items, now think what one company would charge you to have all these things at your finger tips. What would you pay to have all of these things? How much do you want to be out in the Internet Market place? How bad do you want to make money??

What you will find out for yourself, nothing should cost this much when we all know what it really cost to market a company. So, why not learn how to do all of the above on your own, or be taught by tutorials or webinars. How would you fell about that type of learning? On your own time and speed?

If you want the inside scoop, then check out what I have to share with you below. If not, no worries. I wish you the best of success.

You Want to Start a Legitimate Business With Zero Money Down?

The first thing most new entrepreneurs have to take into account in order to begin a business on-line or off is funding, start-up capital.

Depending on the sort of business you have in mind the figures can go anyplace from a couple of hundreds to more than a million dollars. Heck just to have the rights to start-up a McDonald’s today is 1.3 million dollars. That is before you buy a the land, get a contractor to build hr building, get supplies, hire staff, etc. etc. The average McDonald’s owner takes 7 years to recoup there upfront cost. 7 years…do you have 7 years to wait?

In any circumstance, it’s actually tough to believe of any legit and viable/profitable company without having a great amount of funds on hand.

However, there is really an easy way to overcome this obstacle and become a successful business owner, mainly because of the Internet and the endless possibilities out there today. By basically following a business model that has time and consistency along with the proper training tools available to access, you can be up and running toward a profitable operation within weeks or just a few short months.

Now, let us get into far more detail of what this concept is about. To accomplish that, the first issue you must know is the fact that the enterprise design I’m suggesting will be the on-line business model.

You may believe right off the bat that this is not for you personally, due to the fact you not knowing absolutely nothing about the Internet or even how to go about marketing and advertising.

So yes, based on your background, a venture into the Wide World of the Internet, it can be very scary for you. Entrepreneurship could involve a steep learning curve for most unless you have the proper tools on hand in one simple location. You also need to be aware of the teaching tools and the availability of learning the new skills necessary to be an on-line business owner like myself.

That’s just the way it functions in business and with an on-line business. Now, what you is the best part is always that beginning a business enterprise on the Internet won’t only mean you are going to be risking almost zero funds, but it’s going to also suggest that you will probably be totally capable of operating your business a lot faster.

Why?

Because mastering the basics with in on-line business will be much simpler than learning the ropes of a lot more complex traditional company models. Certainly, you cannot imagine all of headaches that opening your own McDonald’s brings. Yes, do they have it down to a science on what to do. Of course they do, this is McDonald’s we are talking about. But, you must follow what they say step by step along the process and if you don’t they could penalize you personally and could take your Franchise license away from you. All the along you are spending the money that will take at least 7 years to re-coup, without making a dime.

The reality is always that performing a business enterprise on-line is basically great way to venture yourself into the virtual world. It is possible to grow exponentially and without having limit (ask the Facebook/Twitter/Youtube creators), with all the distinction which you won’t be risking hundreds to hundreds of thousands of dollars to get started.

Should you think that you are capable or you want to look further in how you can build your own business of you own, then review what is available to you here.

Do You Wish to Make Massive Amount of Cash on the Internet? Check Out These 3 Basic Tips…

Generating income on-line is a really hot topic and it truly is developing great deal of buzz these days. It does not a 60-80 hour work week to build a career and life long dreams. It is just one of the most rewarding and convenient methods to make money and you’ll be hooked to as soon as you understand 3 simple little guidelines to making it on-line.

You’ll find certain details that you’ll want to be mindful of before starting as an net marketer. Following the best path and avoiding any expensive errors will surely assist you to obtain your goals/targets and your objectives with the least possible hassle. Just follow three easy rules and you’ll undoubtedly it will make life a ton more simple when getting going in your business.

1) Select the best method or technique

Like a newbie you might face the dilemma on which method to select and what’s right for you personally. You can get overwhelmed in what you want to do because of all the hype that is out there. (word of caution…AVOID ALL HYPE!!) You also need to know get involved with when it comes to your mentor or guru. Like a beginner, it really is recommended to start off with doing some solid research, or even contacting them directly.

Jumping at the first hyped up, million dollar, flashy ad is probably the most frequent error a beginner makes. You don’t need to begin with being in complexed procedures; commence with an simple strategy so which you are motivated to carry on right up until the thing is some beneficial benefits.

Using the advent of web several organizations have began making use of it like a big advertising platform for their goods and services. And in order to fulfill their advertising and marketing objective they have to have promoters in the form of affiliate marketers. You can help them by promoting their products for commission and it’ll be considered a predefined package with regards to calculating the commission. These commissions usually go up to 75% with the cost in the product you’re advertising.

2) Stay concentrate on only a single approach till you succeed

I can not stress this enough…put your blinders on and don’t look back!

A big mistake that beginners make is to retain on jumping from one particular method to another method one after another; which isn’t wise in any way. By doing this you can reduce your probabilities of obtaining any achievement. Plus, lose a ton of friends in the process. (Trust me…I did it!) Just stay with a program for some time till the thing is showing signs of results. How long you might ask yourself that this might take…it all depends on you. Seriously!

3) Don’t get info overloaded; continue to keep things easy

To become a effective world wide web marketer you need to first commence with picking an extremely high quality program or professional platform that helps you in many ways that way you are not stuck on an island all by yourself. Do not overload yourself with all the crap on the Internet simply because this will only make you alot more puzzled. Just keep your self focused on one program and you’ll surely be able to create it being a productive web marketer.

It is not a get rich overnight scheme; be profitable on the net takes some dedication, patience and perseverance. It’s just like anything else in life. What seperates the Great from the below average is how bad the Great want it and how BIG their “Whey’s” are in their life. So, how big is your WHY?

You might start off sluggish but with time you will undoubtedly make a whole lot of head way towards your goals. The profit flow will begin a tad slow initially, but it will be considered a continuous procedure, so let the funds roll in by sticking to the right system.

To your Success,

“Exceptional Joe” – Thomas

How plants teach us what Social Media really is…..

You know the more I study the more I learn. The more I look at the world in a simple manner, the more I understand the Universe. Plants are awesome. They start small and we nurture them and nurture them until they become bigger and bigger.

Why do we do this nurturing? Why is it so important to us? Because we bought a plant or a tree or a shrub? We want our house to look good? It makes us feel better when we see the fruits of our labor?
YES! All of these are important to us. That is why it is as important to do these things with your business each and everyday.

Your business can not grow without planting seeds, fertilizing them throughout the social networking sites or doing PPC or writing an article. You must find 1-2 things that you really enjoy doing and do it over and over again for that seed to take rout and grow. Believe you me, this took me a while to truly understand, but it is the catalyst of our World and everything we do.

Watch and see what I mean…

I hope you enjoy this and it helps you understand what you need to do to take your business or your life to the next levels.

Don’t let Bumps in the Road Stop you…

A very good lesson was learned for both my son and myself. Don’ let little ‘boo-boo’s’ stop you from getting up and continuing on your journey of life.

Whether it’s your business and you are hung up on a project or you are having issues understand something new – don’t stop. Or maybe it was like my son, where he fell down a hill and got his first “major” scrap on his leg.
It did bother him for a short while, he cried and Daddy was a bit nervous watching it all unfold right in front of my eyes (because it could have be a lot worse) , but it wasn’t. Don’t fear things that jump put at you. Don’t let the little things stop you from building your life, your business, or whatever it might be that you may be working on…just do not give up.

You must continue learning from everything you do in life. My son learned that it will sting for a bit and over-night, but today it is better. A tad sore, but a lot better. Something things apply to each of us every single day. You may not like what someone said, or how you are being treated by your co-workers or boss. You may be having issues with a job assignment that you are working on. Plow through that wall, break down the barrier that is in front of you and make things and life happen for you. Never, never give up.

See how my son, did not let what happened to him yesterday effect him today.

Until next time,

Thomas C. Chandler

There is nothing like seeing the gleam in their eye….

WOW – How fortunate we are to live in a FREE Country that we are so well protected by our US Armed Forces. This past weekend was a Memorial Weekend. I am so proud of all the troops, especially my brother and brother-n-law. They are both serving our military. Thank you to both of you and all the Men and Women around the world for what you do each and everyday for all of the United States citizens.

I feel so blessed to be able to walk around and to enjoy life the way I saw it this weekend…through the eyes of our children. Being able to live in the United States and to be able to go watch your son play in a baseball tournament was a great joy this past weekend from myself. Or, having my one daughter wake-up from an afternoon nap under a shad tree with a nice little breeze and sitting up and saying, “that was a nice nap.”(with a twinkle in her eye) is so very cool. Watching them all eat Ice Cream, play with there friends, routing on their brother and his friends to a Championship win for his team was very thrilling and relaxing to what a true Memorial weekend is all about.

What a great looking bunch of kids. The fought and battled all weekend to finally win a overcome some incredible odds. Watching the gleam in all of their eyes brings tears to many adults eyes.

So, this weekend is always bitter sweet for everyone in this Great Country of ours. Many of us have or know of someone in the Armed Forces, so our thoughts and prayers are with each of them each and everyday. We also have families. Hopefully, you have a family that you can enjoy a nice cook-out, maybe a soccer or baseball game with each other. Maybe, you were at a lake boating with family and friends; or maybe you were in your own back yard playing wiffle ball with you dog. Whatever you did this past weekend, let’s never forget how to live our life….through the gleam of our child’s eyes.

If we live our life like our children see life, we all will be better people for it. We also will make our Country and better place to live.

God Bless you all.

Sincerely yours,

How Do You Build an Online Business Today?

If you have any ambitions to build an On-Line business then I would recommend two very important things you might want to do before you actually get rolling on that new idea that someone called you on.

Very simple, you need to Think and Research.

Now why would I say Think? Well, it is extremely important for you to realize if this business opportunity is a true business or if it is a total rip off. With the Economy in the tank, and your pocket book getting smaller each and every day, you truly need to stop and breath and think about what you are about to embark on. Trust me here…this is and should not be an impulse decision or buy in. If you want to know how to lose thousands of dollars do what I did for the last 7 years, jump on every lilly pad that is out there today. (I came from the school of hard knocks!) That is no fun.

Secondly, you need to research. Please, please listen to me very carefully here. If you do not research the company that just fed you a bunch of hype on how you will be making 40K from 3 months from now, you might as well send me your money, and I will invest it for you.

What I am saying is do some serious keyword research before climbing aboard. That is what I tell ever person that is coming to me. It is incredible what you can find out about who is who and who has a past and might be a dirty little crook. Or on the other hand, you might find out everything you needed to know that will enable you to make a sound educational decision.

Then once you have ironed out these two major issues, then make sure you have a sound Professional Marketing Platform that you can work from. One that will teach you and enable you to market yourself to the world. People don’t join companies, people join people. Leaders. So, be a leader and learn how to do, before you go out and teach others.

I hope this will help save you time and money. This took me many years to get thru my thick skull!

To your success,

“Average Joe” – Thomas C. Chandler
