When a friend asked me a few days back, “What gets you all fired up?” I didn’t have to think long, I answered, “Ziglar’s Bull Frog Speech.” I heard it when I was a child and I’ve given it more times than I can count on many different fields of interest, one of the most prominent being politics. I believe as a nation, we’re sitting bullfrogs in hot water. We’ve become complacent and the water’s getting hotter.

In the business world, we got cozy and comfortable with our profits and they’re running out. Now, we’re looking back with our cooked body parts wondering how we can escape the coming drain on income, and seeing no way out.

Cooked frog legs don’t jump.

There’s an alternative. We can get out of the water before we’re cooked…

• Get a vision for your life. Go beyond the cozy comfort of the hot water you’re soaking in and create a viable vision for your life that means you have to hop higher, move faster, and keep on building a greater profit into your business than you’ve ever had before. Move before you can’t see beyond the edge of the pot.
• Find Mentors who will LEAD you. You want a mentor who is just beyond your grasp, who will occasionally stick his foot up your rump and move you into action. Don’t accept a complacent mentor who isn’t going anywhere – you’ve gotta move to get where you want to go.
• Understand the value of Humility. You’re not God. You’re not like God. You’re not a PART of God. And you’re not LIKE God. Get over yourself enough to understand that you’re God’s chosen and you can have what you want, but you’re not getting it because you’re so all fired hot and wonderful, you’re getting it out of the grace of God’s loving heart. So let the hot air out and come back down to earth, you’re no better than the slug on the street, you just work harder. Humility has purpose in your life – use it.
• Gratitude will take you where you want to go. How many times have you said, “Thank you!” Do it a million times more, every day. Find ways to be grateful every day. Seek them out and act on them, tell people how much you appreciate them, show your gratitude and display your willingness to show favor in appreciation of the goodness of others. Give more than you get and you’ll get even more.
• Determination will take you further than complacency. Remember the Bull frog? You put him in a nice pan of cold water and you set the water on the heat. He’s cozy, his body temperature is adjusting to the heat and he likes the water. As the water starts to boil, the bullfrog starts to cook, and there he sets, cooked in his own comfort. He’s done. Determine to get yourself out of hot water before you become cooked in your own comfort.

So, do you get it yet? Have you figured out that whatever it is you want in this life, you can accomplish your dreams?

Remember these ten little two letter words and you’ll grow faster, gain more, and get further than with any other quote you’ll ever read.

“If it is to be; it is up to me.”

Where’s your red head and how hot is the water?

Jan Verhoeff offers motivation and marketing wisdom for the masses, particularly internet business marketers who know they want to achieve greater business skills and profits.

But there’s still the option of working your blog for cash income and putting money in the bank from blogging, you just have to get better at it. In fact, you can be making money in just three days. There are some who will tell you that you can make a lot of money (and they’re right, you can) but I’m going to be honest with you. Until you get the gist of blogging down and start getting traffic to your sites, the chances of making a lot of money are pretty slim. Money is truly in the traffic. Traffic generation isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t take a long time to do it, but you have to DO IT. The more traffic you drive to your blog, the faster your blog will move and the more money you’ll make online.

Whether you’re driving clickbank cash or google adsense, the process is still the same. You CREATE powerful impressive content and continue to create it on your site (3 – 4 posts a week, minimum) and drive traffic. The easiest way to cash in on the blogging craze, simultaneously is to use WordPress Blogs.

Some niche ideas I’ve found that work well to drive traffic and create interest in your website include:

• Amazon Marketing – adding book reviews and presentation of specific products to your site, including whatever your interested in, so you can write fluently about your topic.
• Work from Home – almost any niche, if you can work from home, will interest readers. Everyone is looking for a second job they can do without leaving home. Even Dave Ramsey backs the second job concept.
• Food Related Topics – whether you share recipes, cooking secrets or restaurant tips, this is a concept whose time has come. Share the groceries!
• Internet Auctions – sell your stuff. Heck, sell somebody else’s stuff, but do it with an auction online. Create some interest in the product, stir up a controversy and sell it, baby!
• Create Content – write content/articles for others to publish on their blog sites. Don’t just give it away, sell that content.
• Niche Marketing – create content and sell a particular niche online. You can sell anything, there’s product out there for any topic, just pick one and start writing.

There’s a ton more of these marketing ideas and I’ll be sharing more of them with you. If you haven’t signed up for our newsletter, please do so. It’s important that we have your address in case we have something special to send you. Don’t let this opportunity slip away. Sign up today.

Make Your First Million – Online Reality, Action Steps Make Money

Oh, the joys of Article Marketing on the Internet! Have you tried it? I mean, really TRIED it?

Just this past week a client was howling about low traffic rates to her website. I shrugged and asked if she’d been writing articles… She said, “I never know what to write.”

I said, “You just inspired an article for me. How can you NOT know what to write?”

250 piddley little words scratched across a keyboard can market your business and maximize your wealth building potential for the next, I dunno – eons? Do they ever stop? Marketing with articles can be way more than fun – it can be potentially wealth building FREEDOM for a homemaker who needs cash in her pocket. It could be, the next best seller if you write your articles in systematic formats that promote your business in a logical orderly fashion, and keep your work flowing forward. It could be… the next best thing to being there in person, sharing the vast knowledge you have of whatever topic you’re writing about with a person who NEEDS to know.

For the mule lover who writes his memories of mules, Back Roads of Yesterday, and happy-ever-after endings, a few articles to market his website could send his level of fame and recognition up the river to wealth and a new beginning. It could change his life. Does he have to write about the same topics I write? Heck no. I’d rather he didn’t. My sources are extreme right-wing political powers; his probably have nothing to do with politics. He just remembers the glory days of what it was like way back then.

For the happening economic maven with a green thumb and ecological sensitivities propagating the Your Impact Matters stream of thinking, a few articles may mean a change in position. Should she choose to write her words in article format, her life may change. For the better? We can only hope.

Can you Make your First Million Online?

Of course you can!

Write articles to market your website, create a website with marketing potential, drive traffic to the website and use the action steps available at http://advertizeyourbusiness.com to create a Buzz around your business.

Comments is an important part of your blog.

Encouraging readers to comment and have an ongoing conversation with you during their time spent at  your blog helps you to develop a profitable and responsive communication process. Comments on my blog help more than me, they help you. Since you’re part of a large traffic population, others who come by read my blog and your comment and move from my blog to your link, left when you made a comment. You’re allowed and encouraged to leave a link to one relevant site in your comments.

Come on and use the easy money method to make a million online with interlinking comments and websites.

Now Twitter and Facebook, at the very least, are required to be a cool presenter online.

When my kids started talking about facebook, I didn’t hop right on. But I did stay tuned in to what they were saying about it. When they started complaining because adults were intruding on their territory, I checked in too. Yup, adults were definitely intruders at that point. Kids had been using the site primarily to connect with school chums. I realized I could connect with school chums too. I infiltrated the site as well.

Now, I have more contacts than my kids have on facebook, and many of them are marketing/business related. I have several basis for contact, writers, business associates, probable clients, and friends/buddies and old class mates (some of them look a lot older than others). The best part is, when I send out a message, everyone gets it. I become a real person, with a real identity and my customers appreciate that.

Friends and family have some basic concept of what I do, and I get referrals there too.

Learning to tweet 140 characters and bring in a phone call from a new client makes the world a happy place, I can’t think of a better way to promote yourself.

If you came home from the office again tonight wishing you NEVER had to go back, you’d better read this article. People all over the world hate their job, because working for the other guy SUCKS. Not only do you have to be there when the boss says you have to be there, but you have to do what he says while you’re there. Some people are fortunate enough to have jobs working for people who aren’t nervous conductors of microbic over-reactive energy, but the majority of us have worked for the kind of person who drove us crazy just walking through the door.

The following suggestions will help you to build a business you can work from home and teach you how to earn your first million online. Read them and follow them, step-by-step to success and prosperity.

Select a product.

This must be a product you know enough about to talk about, write about, and share with others. It should be a product that you’re more than familiar with, and that you choose to keep up with the latest news. You’ll want to create a site with newsy informative content and ideas that will bring people to the site frequently.

Build a clientele.

Begin collecting the names of people who come to your site. With each new face on your website, you’ll want a corresponding email contact, so you can bring them back. Find out about your visitors and provide solutions for their problems with information and products you sell on your site.

Drive traffic to your site.

You’ll want to drive more traffic to your website and keep driving traffic that is well targeted and interested in what you’re offering. You can do that with Article Marketing. By providing content for the Internet, you bring traffic back to your website through the resource boxes on your articles. There are many ways to drive traffic, but Article Marketing drives the best targeted traffic of any resource I’ve found.

Give quality customer service.

Be sure the products and services you sell on your website are top end products, and the best services you can provide.  Put your customers first and meet their needs. Answer their emails and respond to them as an important part of your business, because they are important. They are in fact, the most important part of your business.

Promote repeat customer business.

Once you get customers coming to your business, you want them to come back, frequently. You’ll have to provide the best service to bring them back. You’ll also want to sell many products that are ‘used up’ or ‘consumable’ so they’ll need more of the products you sell. Consider the products you sell in your business, are they used up? Will your buyer need to replace the products?

Joint venture with other successful people.

Find a partner to work with, whether it’s someone who sells the same things you sell, or someone who works in a similar industry, you’ll want to joint venture with someone who is interested in building their business as you are in building yours. The objective is to share the marketing load and promote each other.

Be gracious and accept the results of your labor.

As you build your business, you’ll be promoting not just your business but someone else’s business too. If you’re lucky, you’ll be helping several people build businesses. The result will be massive and continuous growth of your own business. As your business grows, you’ll want to remember to be gracious, grateful for what you’re receiving. Show your gratitude and be grateful in all things.

Of course, there’s more than just these seven steps to build your wealth online, and you can learn about the other steps at http://makeyourfirstmilliononline.com with a FREE Subscription to Cool Millions.

According to Kiplinger, you have to Save It. But once again, you’d have to save a lot of money to get to a million, and it costs a lot of money to live. Can you save it if you’re putting it in the gas tank or refrigerator? Hello!

According to Entrepreneur, you’d better start a business under the premise of making a million from a ready to go, turn-key business with million dollar potential. Of course, you could simply get into one of the suggested lines of interest, wine, kids, pets, college, seniors, staffing or green and hope you capture the market… Although, the chances of getting your fair share of the industry (if you’re a greedy little beasty and want  your million) might be difficult. You’re only one person, and you only have 24 hours in the day.

But there’s something you can do in any industry that would drive your market, increase your net gains, and improve your chances at making a million.

Are you ready?

Maximize your marketing possibilities by leveraging your time.

By increasing your marketing capabilities through leveraging, you increase the number of sales contacts you can make each day and multiply your efforts in marketing. This simple method of leveraging your time maximizes your opportunities.

Develop a plan for Residual Marketing.

Maximize your long range projections by using residual marketing programs. Create once and sell over and over again, without doing a thing. This kind of automation is reminiscent of the coke machines. Coke continues to make the products, and service the machines, but those machines are working day and night to sell cola.

Automate your system with an Auto Responder.

Using pre-created content, you can automate your system building a marketing list that continues to grow using wordpress and auto responders that work even when you’re not there. These systems work on autopilot day or night.

Automate your profits with any or all of these systems for constant income that will make you a million online in no time at all. The creation of automated systems increases your opportunities and maximizes your potential for making a million dollars online.
