When Jim Cockrum releases a new product I am the first person to take notice as I love everything Jim does, I have said it before and will say it again Jim Cockrum is one marketer I look to online for generating new ideas and methods. Also, I still regard The Silent Sales Machine as a must read eBook for anyone who wants to do business online.

However, Jim has gone and released a new eBook titled 20 Ways To Make Money NOW On The Internet. This eBook is full of useful ideas that can get you started making money online right now. What I love about this eBook is the way it uses what Jim calls ‘the low hanging fruit system’

This means:-

• Each method WORKS consistently when tried.
• Each method can be automated as part of a multiple income stream strategy. In other words, “set it and forget it” is possible so that you can go on to establish additional income streams.
• Each method is not complex to learn.
• Each method can be implemented quickly.
• Very little, if any, investment is required to get started with each method.

I also love the way each method has a scale of 1 to 5 meaning:-

• Difficulty – 1= Simple 5= More Difficult To Establish
• Set-Up Expense – 1= Cheap 5= More Expensive
• Set-Up Time – 1= Quick And Easy 5= More Time Required
• Skill Level Required – 1= Little Skill Needed 5= More Skills Required
• Can It Be Automated? – 1= Easily Automated 5= Requires Steady Attention (Keep in mind ANYTHING can be outsourced or hired out!)
• Time Before Earning/ Time to Payback – 1= Start Earning Very Quickly 5= Takes Some Time To Establish
• Interpersonal Skills Required – 1= Can Be Done almost Anonymously 5= Requires a lot of interacting With People

This really is a unique system I have never seen before.

So if you want to learn 20 methods that you can implement right now

I highly recommend you check out 20 Ways To Make Money NOW On The Internet, it will open your eyes.

I’m sitting here this afternoon watching the first snowfall of the winter, trying to figure out what I should get into next. I could work on the iPhone application that I’m developing, or convert my mystery novel for Amazon Kindle, or go shovel the walk (nah!). Not quite time to feed the dogs or get the horses in from the field . . . I did promise my wife that I’d vacuum the living room. Maybe I should take a nap, conserve my energy before I start working . . . No. What I really should do is write my guest post for John Thornhill’s blog!

Isn’t it amazing how we can find so many other activities to occupy our time, activities that will not help us to start, or to improve our online business? We have to give ourselves a swift kick sometimes. Why is that? Surely we want to succeed at Internet marketing, but too many times we think the latest shiny product from our favorite marketing guru is going to magically set us on that road to financial freedom. Maybe if we just put off that hard work for now and wait for the next shiny toy . . .

Nope! That approach is not going to work. The only approach that will make a difference in what you are doing now and what you will be doing a year from now is good old hard work. Start your online business, and then work at it every day, and you’ll see progress.

We all encounter these same hurdles when we start out. I wrote Starting a Practical Online Business to help you make the right choices when you start out and to help you avoid problems now and in the future . . .

What you have just read I wrote six days ago. Yup. I let other things get in the way again — one of our horses had a hoof abscess, one of our dogs got sick, I had a medical procedure, I was watching reruns of “Boston Legal” — the list of excuses goes on and on, but in reality, I had plenty of time to write this post if I’d just sat down and done it.

We are our own worst enemies when it comes to getting our businesses up and running and then improving on them. No one is holding us back — that is, no one but ourselves.

So finally start your online business, or if you already have one, write that blog entry, go find some good eBooks and reports to send to your list, finish the website you started to promote that ClickBank product, write a few more pages in your next eBook. Get your act together!

This is a guest post written by Dan Ferry, for more tips from Dan check out Starting a Practical Online Business

I have just released a brand new report called ‘You’ll Never Succeed Online’ and I’d love you to read it. When you read the report you will see why I have picked such a hard hitting title.

In the report I highlight what stops people becoming successful no matter how much money they spend online. The title and report may offend some people but I know if you read the report and ‘get it’ you will thank me and I know more people will benefit because of the hard hitting title.

You can check out and download the report by clicking here.

As usual I’d love to hear your comments.

I have created another video to show you how the office is coming along, as you can see we have carpets, blinds, desks, seats and a lot more

I also talk about a common problem we all face and I reveal something right at the end of the video that should interest you. Don’t worry, there’s nothing for sale.

Watch the video to the end and all will be revealed.

As always I’d love to know what you think so please leave a comment.

I have just released a new video that shows you my brand new office. I had planned to get this to you on Friday but the weather has been really bad here in the UK so it knocked my move back a couple of days.

I also reveal a why I have moved just 8 months after moving into my first office. I also reveal my plans to help you for 2010

Enjoy the video and as always feel free to leave your comments.

How’s the New year started for you? To be honest I have not done a great deal of work over the festive period and even if I wanted to I couldn’t get into the office at the moment as we are snowed in here in the UK. Hopefully I can make it to the office tomorrow and things can get back to normal so I get back into work mode.

I don’t know about you but I am sort of pleased the festive period is all over, the decorations have been taken down and the house  looks bare and I swear I wont have a drink for at least a week and  I will be hitting the gym to try to remove some of the weight I  have put on over the last 10 days

So why am I pleased? Well I think that’s because I actually enjoy my work so much. I also have massive plans for this year which  includes moving to a new office later this week, but my plans for 2010 also involve you.

For starters next week I am going to give you a ‘plan of attack’ for 2010 and I am also going to compile a shocking report that will explain why most people fail online. I may upset a few people with this one but what I have to say needs to be said. I promise you will see things differently once you read what I have to say. I’ll send  you more details once I get settled into my new office on the 8th  of January but let me assure you this is something you don’t want  to miss.

This will be my second office move in 8 months but I simply have  to do it as my business has exploded in the last 12 months. I also  want to help more people become a success in 2010 and I need more  office space to do that. All will be revealed this month so make  sure you keep an eye out for my emails.

On another note…

I also want to let you know that time is running out to receive Multi Profit Websites at the original launch price. We will be putting the price up for good on Tuesday so if this is something you feel can help you move forward in 2010 I would recommend you get it now before it’s too late.

http://www.multiprofitwebsites.com/

That’s all for now, I’ll be in touch later in the week. I’ll also show you round the new office and let you know more of my plans for 2010 and how I can help you move forward.

Until next time.

So here we are again, coming to the end of the year and we wonder where it all went. I’m sure time goes faster as you get older.

The question I have for you is did you achieve what you set out to do at the start of the year, if not what held you back? If you can find out what held you back then you can be more productive in 2010. So maybe it’s time for reflection, to ponder on what did and didn’t work for you and to focus on what works.

I had big plans for this year and most of it was achieved. I launched 5 brand new products so I exceeded my plan of a new product every 3 months. I launched my Masterclass Program in January, JV Auction Profits in June, Profit From PLR in August and along with Dave Nicholson Multi Profit Websites and Multi Profit Monthly in October.

I also had a ton of success as an affiliate, I won numerous JV competitions and this made me realize that I have discovered a perfect formula for promoting products. I will be creating a product and releasing this formula sometime next year so look out for that one.

But I feel the most important step my business took this year was when I moved into an office in April. This has made such a big difference to my productivity and I now find I get more done as I have none of the distractions I had working from home. If this is something you are thinking about I can highly recommend it.

No more delivery men knocking on the door, dogs barking, kids screaming and the temptation to go and watch TV or make a snack.

In fact moving to an office proved to be such a success I am moving to a brand new purpose built office in January as I now need more space. The space will be for staff I plan to employ in the New Year. Yes, I have big plans for next year and that includes hiring staff, but the most important thing I want to do is help my subscribers and customers on a more personal level. So you’re going to see a lot more webinars, offers of one on one coaching and consultations. I may even allow subscribers to come to my new office once it’s all up and running to see how I operate.

I also plan to set up a professional studio in my new office as I’ve realised that using video is crucial to your online business. If this is something you’re not doing you should seriously think about it, video is everywhere online now so ignore it at your peril.

And this brings me onto another thing, planning ahead. Just as it’s no good starting the working week not knowing what you will be doing, it is also crucial to plan the year ahead. Where do you want to be this time next year?

Plan it out month by month, then believe me you will have more progress.

Like I said in a post I wrote this time last year.

Break 2010 into four and work in three monthly schedules.

What do you want to achieve by the end of March 2010 – June 2010 – and September 2010 and the end of 2010?

Write it down and make sure whatever to do that these goals are achievable, it’s no good making plans that you can’t keep up with.

Allow me to show you an example, I am going to assume you have no websites online. This will take you no more than a few hours per week.

By the end of March you should have your first website online. Let me tell you if you have no sites online the first thing you should do is build a blog, a blog helps you communicate with your subscribers and provide valuable content (just as I am doing now) and build an army of followers. So spend January learning how to set up a blog (remember, Google is your friend) and then February building you blog, you will want to personalise it and make it your own, maybe add a personal banner or get a personal theme built, add some AdSense Ads or other ads such as ClickBank Ad Rotator ads that you can see on this site.

Then spend March adding content, begin making posts, write about anything you want, what your hobbies are, what you did today, what sites and products you like (through an affiliate link of course) etc etc. Try to post at least once per week and more often if you can. Just remember to be yourself. Over time your personality will shine through and you will find your particular niche.

Stick to this and you will start to see traffic and earnings from your ads and the odd affiliate sale.

By the end of June you should have a product for sale online. If you don’t know what your product should be about look at your blog, have you started to write about one particular topic more than others? Spend the first four weeks researching and the following four weeks creating your product, remember once again that ‘Google is your friend’. Then spend the rest of your time building your sales page, affiliates page and thank you page. You have three full months to make this happen, and it will happen if you work on this daily and are dedicated. If you need help in this department I highly recommend you check out Operation eBook, It’s a fantastic eBook that can walk you through the whole process.

You are doing well, let’s keep it going…

By the end of September you should be driving regular traffic to your sales page, this takes time but as long as you keep it going and do something daily to drive traffic by the end of September you will be seeing results. If you want to learn the best way to drive traffic I would recommend you check out Total Web Traffic.

Now we are really motoring, we have a blog full of great content and we are making sales from our very first product, so what’s next.

REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT…

Obviously you don’t have to have multiple blogs but you should be creating multiple products, look how many products I created this year. Set yourself a target to create a new product every 90 days. It can be done and I do it all the time. Once you get a few products under your belt things will really start to happen. This is when you tell your boss to stick his job and begin to live the life you have always dreamed of.

Never ever forget that the real money is in creating your own products, I know I keep banging on about it but it’s because it’s so true yet so many people fail to ‘get it’. I have said this from day one and I still say this now. If you are not creating your own products you will struggle. As I have already said, if you need help in this department I highly recommend you check out Operation eBook. It’s a fantastic eBook that can walk you through the whole process.

So there you have it, your plans laid out for next year. You don’t have to follow them to the letter but you should have at least two more product for sale online by the end of next year. Will you sit back and watch others make money in 2010 or will you make 2010 the year things really started to happen for you. I have gave you a basic plan, the rest is up to you.

May I take this final opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year

Right now is one of the best times in Internet marketing history to make a lot of money online with information products. An information product is a digitally downloadable product, also known as an eBook, or eCourse. However it is not just written books that are downloadable, an information product can also include: audio, video and software.

Even with the popularity of audio and video products, eBooks remain a staple of online publishing and they’ll be around forever.

EBooks offer a quick and easy way for prospects to search and learn about a hot topic. No more running to the nearest book store. A quick search in Google and a person can literally find an eBook on just about any subject imaginable in seconds.

And the good news is that if you want to create your own information products you don’t even have to be an expert on the subject to provide the information. It’s a good idea to have some degree of interest in the subject but you don’t have to be the leading expert. You just need to know how to help the audience get the information that they want.

But before you can start building a profitable eBook business I think it’s really important that you know your rights. Now I’m not talking about  your humanitarian rights, but the different types of rights that exist for eBooks.

EBooks typically come with resell rights, master resell rights or private label rights. I talk more about eBook rights in Build Your eBiz with Resale Rights and PLR.

Now no one can be aware of all the different terms that are set up for different licenses because that largely depends on the author. But if you can have a basic understanding of the general rights that come with most eBooks then you will be in a better position to utilize them to their full potential and avoid any possible legal action that could result if you don’t follow the conditions that are set forth in the licences.

So what is the difference between Resell Rights, Master Resell Rights & Private Label Rights?

To keep it as simple as possible, if you have resell rights, you have the right to resell the product, in conjunction with the terms and conditions set forth in your license. This means that you cannot alter or edit the product in any way, and you cannot put your name on it as the author.

If you have private label rights, however, you can edit and alter the product as you see fit, and you can even put your own name, or your company’s name, on the product as the author. You can also:

•    Change words and chapters
•    Put your name as the author
•    Change the sales page
•    Add graphics
•    Break the product down into several different products
•    Add audio & video

There really are no limits here. This type of license can be a real money spinner if utilized in the correct way and  gives you the opportunity to increase the perceived value of the product and resell it as your own for big profits.

Because you have more freedom with private label rights, these types of products generally cost more to purchase the rights for. Some products even have two options when you purchase them: resell rights or private label rights. In fact, you can use your private label rights products and sell the resell rights to others, after you have changed the product and put your name on it.

There is also a difference between resell rights and master resell rights. Resell rights simply give you the right to resell the product, while master resell rights allow you to resell the product and the resell rights!

Again, it is easy to see how one could be confused with these various terms. However, if given the choice, always go for the private label rights. This will allow you to have a product of your very own, without actually having to create one yourself.  Most private label rights licenses give you much more freedom.

I hope you have found this post informative and allow me to wish you the best of luck with your online business endeavors!

I am writing this post in the hope that it may stop you wasting some of your hard earned cash online. I am going to say something that I want you to write down on a Post-it note and stick next to your PC and every time you are tempted to buy another product that promises to make you rich for doing next to nothing read it. Are you ready?

STOP LOOKING FOR A PUSH BUTTON SOLUTION!

There, I said it…

You see, most people starting out think that there is some big secret to Internet riches when nothing could be further from the truth. Day after day we get promised easy money for doing next to nothing (or even less) so we buy the product in the hope that our dreams will be achieved. Only to find that once again we’ve be suckered in. Can you relate to this? I know I can.

Don’t get me wrong, there are a ton of great products out there and I have bought a hell of a lot of them myself, but they require putting in a great deal of effort if you want to make them work, and when the work is required this is when most people give up and once again start looking for the easy way out. So I will say this again.

STOP LOOKING FOR A PUSH BUTTON SOLUTION!

Look, I have created and sold many many products over the years, all have never claimed to make you rich for doing nothing and most have taken a ton of hard work and effort if you want to make them work for you. I know my methods work but the truth is most people don’t even know this because when they find they need to put some work in they give up and once again start looking for the easy solution. Does this mean my products are rubbish? No!

So my advice to you if you’re not prepared to put some effort in is give up and get out, as cruel as that may sound it’s for your own benefit as you will just keep getting suckered time and time again.

Just unsubscribe from every marketer’s list and go and find a hobby, believe me you will be better off for it.

Or if you want to have a real go at this create a product, this could be anything, an eBook, a report, an audio interview, a series of video tutorials, a membership site, anything. Just do it. There are a ton of courses out there that show you how so don’t make excuses and say you can’t do it.

Then create a squeeze page and start collecting emails. Or stick a PayPal button on your sales page and start promoting your product via the many many traffic methods out there. Or put your product on ClickBank and start recruiting affiliates. Just do something…

Only when you create a product of your own will you start to realize the work that is involved, but the most important thing of all is you will finally realize that there are no push button solutions, and you may finally start to see some results…
