5 Daily Methods Of Operation

If you’re and entrepreneur then you probably already have a DMO (Daily Method Of Operation ). Every successful person either in business, or entrepreneurship tells me they us a daily method of operations.

Five things I found to be very effective and they are easy enough that anyone can use them. These simple steps will help you to obtain the level of success once you apply them into your daily routine.

Personal Development — Having a POSITIVE mental attitude changes the way we think as a leader or an entrepreneur; which in turn leads to change for success. With so many ways to grab information no one can make the excuse that they don’t have time to do this.

Meditation and Exercise — Spend at least 15 minutes a day meditating on scriptures, a quick go to encouragement pocket book. Exercise daily to increase your body,mind and spirit. Exercising opens up the mind and make entrepreneurs get their creative juices flowing. Personally I find Pilates very relaxing and it works my abs off.

Sharing — Share your business opportunity with at least 10 new people or at the bare minimum 5 people to start building relationships and trust with. Make this a quick less than 2 minute introduction and ask them if they’re interested in watch a video, listening to a CD, Podcast or by whatever tools you can get in front of them within the a few days.

Creating Content — Create content people will want to read, look at and become interested in. Social media can work to your advantage. Learn how to leverage the time you spend on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, LinkedIn and whatever other social outlet you’re using.

The Artistic Affilate otherwise known as Lesly Federici, RN has many helpful tips for creating content. In her article titled, 5 Creative Ways to Keep Visitors Coming Back she shares many ways to make visitors “think outside the box”. Landing pages, funnels, custom side bars and widgets to name a few.

Sales and Marketing Training — Essential to any business growth is marketing and sales. Sales equals income in the pocketbook! ! Marketing drives interest and curiosity which leads to SALES!

The road to success takes time and it takes one step at a time to achieve the end result.

Intellifluence A New Way To Connect Your Businesses With Consumers

2 Replies

I found an opportunity that fit’s my personality and my niche. Intellifluence is an easy way to build relationships, increase your blog or companies awareness and also sales.

A few months ago I was web surfing for “work from home” opportunities and came across Intellifluence. After much research I signed up. Companies are always looking for people to review their products and share with the masses. The internet has changed the way businesses market their products.

How Does Intellifluence Work?

Using Intellifluence allows your company to communicate directly with interested consumers, acting as the influencer. Most of the companies using this website are small businesses. Bottom lines are tight and marketing products are a challenge. There pricing is reasonable with many options. One can cancel at any time without a penalty.

What Companies Work With Intellifluence?

All kinds of companies from Newair, Reedsy, Simply Earth and companies in need of review bloggers.

Becoming An Influencer

Once the decision is made to become an influencer click the join button and get started. I’ve made it easy for you by clicking my intellifluence link.

Getting Free Stuff and Getting Paid

What? Did I really just read that? Yes, yes you did. The beauty of this website are some of the free sample items, some items the collaborator needs to pay for; however they get to keep it after doing a review.

As a blogger certain companies pitch there ideas along with the payment amount. Should you choose to accept my advise it to set up a Paypal account for receiving payments. It’s better to be secured when it comes to money.

Yes I have made a few dollars and will continue my journey as an influencer. Whatever your decision I wish you all the success.

Opportunities Are Always There

6 Replies

Searching for opportunities to make our lives better seems to be an ongoing thing.

Improving one’s health and wealth are the two biggest ones I see people searching the world wide web for.

Ideas happen everyday. Benjamin Franklin invented many useful tools we use today. How did those opportunities start? A vision for a brighter future lead to the inventions we all use today.

Has someone approached you about having a home business and you pop pooed the idea?

Opportunity just knocked at your door! It was screaming at you “Let me in!”

Was this your last chance to change the world? Make your finances better, improve your health, spend more time with your family, finally get free from having a traditional job?

Which by the way stands for “Just Over Broke”.

I can’t answer those questions for you. Only You can.

Go out and sieze the day. Make a difference in your life and someone else’s.

If and when a next opportunity knocks at your door take a serious look and listen to your intuition. It may just be what you’ve been looking for.

Why Would You Ever Want A Mentor

2 Replies

What Is Mentorship?

According to Wikipedia

“Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person.”

What Are The Benefits To Having A Mentor?

A good mentor is willing to encourage, uplift, help set career goals, business goals, learn a new set of skills to further your career or personal goals… and honors your dreams …

On June 13, 2015, I wrote an article on my personal blog titled “Advice Of Your Mentor(s)”. One of my favorite mentors is Eric Worre (and still is). He has a great collection of CDs and his popular book “GO Pro” is available here , all worth a look if you’re interested.

Here’s why I like Eric Worre. He’s been in network marketing for over twenty years. At one convention he had an ‘aha’ moment that changed his life forever. At that event he made the decision to Go Pro and become a Network Marketing expert. Since that time he has done just that by encouraging other network marketers to challenge themselves with obtaining each and every goal set. Through his book and CD’s thousands of people learn methods and techniques which they can use to see change the way they market themselves and companies they represent.

I admire this man for speaking out and wanting to help struggling network marketers. He coaches people on the “seven steps” it takes to go pro. Eric’s wish is for you to make the decision to become a Network Marketing Professional. For you to truly Go Pro. Because it is a stone-cold fact that Network Marketing is a better way for generating financial security.

Lesly Federici, RN amazes me each and every day. She’s a Registered Nurse and the CEO and owner of the Power Affiliate Club .

She is warm and encouraging, yet stern and challenges each and every PAC member to be the very best they can be with their blogging skills. Weather a newbie or experienced blogger, Lesly Federici makes people feel welcomed and comfortable to ask questions about blogging. She coaches members to develop professional skills in writing, and blog presentation.

So What’s In It For Them?

The answer I would hope is to help other’s succeed with whatever they are trying to achieve. Some mentors just believe that they are truly helping people and want to see them succeed.

Think of it as leaving a legacy for others. As a mentor you get to leave a lasting mark on society with the knowledge and wisdom that you have passed down to another person or group of people. Mentors have a great advantage to change the world around them for the better.

Finding The Right Mentor

Find the teacher who has achieved what you want. No matter what you’re trying to accomplish a good mentor can assist you with getting the end results.
Check out more than one person. Some people just don’t click. Just because one person said, “Hey how are you, I can mentor you”, doesn’t mean they are the right fit for you. Be persistent in your search for the right mentors. If your mentor isn’t open and communicating with you after several attempts go find someone else that is willing to take the time to appreciate you and your goals.

Be Prepared

Be a teachable! There is nothing worse than someone who says they want help from a mentor and then they aren’t willing to do what it takes to achieve their main goals.

Be willing to try over and over again if that ‘s what it takes to create your visions and dreams into a reality.

Offer value to the person you want to mentor you. Show them that you are teachable, willing to work together in a partnership and learn from them.

Well I hope this article has helped you in some way. Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.

What Happened To Connecting With Other Bloggers?

16 Replies

The past few weeks I’ve been connecting with other bloggers, commenting on their sites and searching the world wide web for articles that spark my interest.

Meeting new bloggers has been exciting and challenging.

Robert Sutherland shares his thoughts on riding motorcycles and writing. In this article he makes some valid points.

Get started – The hardest part of riding a motorcycle or writing is getting started.
Keep moving – The hardest stuff to read is the prose that … just … inches … along … and doesn’t seem … to move … or make any progress … or go anywhere. Lose your balance on a bike and you crash. Lose your balance in your story and you’ll lose your readers.
The hardest parts of riding & writing – Think of the word: transitions.
All good things must come to an end – As an author, you choose where and when to end your story. Live it up! (We don’t have much control in life. That’s why we write.)
Stop

It’s a great read you should take a trip to his article.

Find and join other blogging communities.

I wrote alot about PAC that’s because making the connections has improved my blog style, writing style and not to mention meeting new friends.

Another community I really like is Blogging Syndication Tribe on Facebook. This community helps home business entrepreneurs with support and communication.

How will you connect?

Have you given thought to making connections with other bloggers?

Search the internet, find what interests you and remember in order to be a successful writer/blogger we need fellowship with others like us.

Learning To Take Actions

16 Replies

Three years ago I decided to start blogging more seriously about internet marketing, entrepreneurship, being an independent business owner and some things about life.

Decisions

Making a decision to change a technique, business ventures, careers or anything takes action. Deciding to become a series blogger, one of the first steps I took was to search the internet for blogs and blogging advice.

According to WordPress.com How many posts are being published? (There are about 58.3 million new posts and 43.8 million new comments each month). MIND BLOWING!

My Improvements

How was I going to improve upon what I started? Searching and searching the internet is confusing, and overwhelming to say the least. During my search I found a little community called MLSP My Lead System Pro which lead me to eventually meet a community called the Power Affiliate Club. Yes I write about PAC a lot. Search my blog and you will understand why. PAC’s Infectious Mission

Action Creates Learning

Taking the actions necessary to become a better writer, author and presenter has led me to where I am today, an expert Power Affiliate Club Author. Looking back over the last three years, I have looked at my articles from when I combined my two blogs. Honestly I now see the major difference in my tenacious appetite to become the best.

I had to learn how to make words flow together, to include images, improve my blog site by adding more content for readers to view and hopefully interact.

When you consider the fact that there are over 58.3 million new blog posts a month and over 43.8 million views, how can a blogger survive?

Necessary Steps

Finding the necessary steps to my journey started with a thought. Searching throughout the world-wide web for answers. Being teachable, willing to learn and implementing those concepts and ideas.

Becoming more involved with the blogging community, reading positive mindset books, listening to CD’s. Basically doing anything to improve my mindset as well as my blogging skills. When a person does the investigating and implementing then a true learning curve can begin.

These are the actions that I took necessary to achieve my goal to become a writer and blogger.

A picture is worth a thousand words …

We’ve all heard that saying before. However, is it true when it comes to writing your blog?

Pictures tell stories …

Images bring a certain essence to what the writer is trying to convey to their readers.

Articles with images get 94% more views. Visual stimulation grabs the reader’s attention and draws them into the article. A large percentage of the brain is dedicated to visual processing. When we see a picture we analyze it within a very short period of time, knowing the meaning and scenario within it immediately.

Five Reasons to Consider Using Pictures

Pictures grab the reader’s attention and helps them commit to reading the content.
Rests the eyes from reading.
Gives your readers a memorable experience.
Images communicate information to readers faster than words.
Images add VALUE! They add valuable SEO (search engine optimization) traffic to your site because the images displayed in search results relate to the images within your blog post.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization), is the process of generating traffic through keyword searches by people seeking a particular topic.

Images are easy to find and use. Using your own images are best because of copyright laws. Obtaining images for your site gives that personal touch and flare to your website.

5 Sites For Picture Images

Flickr this site is owned by Yahoo.com. Flickr offers 1,000 GB of free photo storage. They will help you automatically backup your entire collection.

PicsArt allows you the ability to edit photos, share and store them.

Free images provides over 2.4 billion pictures you can use (some you can use for a small fee.

Public Domain (PublicDomainPictures.net) is a repository for free public domain images. Download high quality – HD photos or upload your own. Make money from your hobby, gain popularity and improve your photographic and graphic skills.

Lastly you can always use Google Search Engine . Just be careful as you search not to use copyrighted pictures without permission.

PicsArt is a great application to use for editing and adding quotes and your own signature to your images. It’s easy and convenient for you to use.

Some audiences prefer to view written content then visual images. Some audiences are interested in more visual images then written content, and that’s okay.

Both styles assist the reader in offering both quality and value. Work on improving your skills, and don’t be afraid to get help from an outside professional who can give your blog the extra sprucing up it lacks. What is the goal that you’re trying to achieve with your audience?

There are many ways to engage with your readers. Images and writing – the most valuable type of content driving marketers to use.

Imagine the photographs in your mind, then search for the right one which will add meaning to your article. Colorful photographs such as red, yellow, purple draw more attention to your readers eyes.

Be creative

Don’t be afraid to let your creativity flow in your posting and keep the images coming.
