- Overcoming Procrastination Using Positive Affirmations
The bottom line is that you can have all of the enthusiasm, great intentions, training, skill and inside tips and strategies - if you are paralyzed by procrastination, you will still fail to make any forward progress.
When you choose to start your own business, the potential for procrastination is very high since you are entering a new area with equal amounts of excitement and sheer terror!
There are many risks that underly the rewards - you could lose money, look bad to those around you, miss out on living out a long held dream, hurt those around you, so much to ponder, the reasons for procrastination is extremely high. (…) - Yanik Shares His 'Maverick's' With Us

If you haven't yet heard of twitter, you would be forgiven for thinking we're talking about a character out of a bambi book, but no, it is one of the most widely used, addictive social networking tools of 2008.
Twitter can basically be summed up in saying it is a platform to manage a real-time text-mesaging interface where you can follow and post to thousands of people with related interests. (…)

- Now It's A Fact - Authority Blogs Sell
I get all kinds of funny looks and skeptical emails when we run people through the first two weeks of the Information Product Profits Training Course and they hear so much about building an authority blog…

- 10 "MUST FOLLOW" Web Outsourcing Tips
When you are building your own web marketing business like the members over at the Information Markter's Zone, it quickly becomes clear that we can't (and shouldn't) be doing everything ourselves.
Here are just a small list of the tasks we need to put into action early on in our internet marketing businesses…Website design
Graphics work (banners, order buttons, ezine and info product covers)
Sales page writing
Setting up and optimizing our own blog
Writing and developing content
Managing back end tasks such as customer support, accounting, pre-sales, etc…
Product research and creation
Getting publicity
Article writing
Joint venture setup and training
Web site operations (payment processing systems, shopping carts, affiliate management systems…)
Marketing strategy
And on, And on…Clearly, a subset of these tasks will play into your strengths, but many will not. The ones that don't are primary candidates for outsourcing - luckily there is a massive supply of eager, highly cost-effective freelancers and outsourcers waiting for work. (…)

- Uncovering Info Product Niches - Magazines
One of my favorite ways of uncovering niche information product ideas and topics is to search the online sites for popular magazines.
I've shared these techniques among many others inside Information Marketer's Zone - the #1 site for serious information marketers and publishers.
For example, let's say I had an interest in info product opportunities in the area of personal development which can be an extremely lucrative market for selling information products IF you can identify very specific issues that customers are trying to solve.
The exact challenge many online marketers face is nailing down a specific topic or info product idea from a competitive market where the potential topics are many.
On this day, I head over to the Psychology Today website and discover a tab titled "Health Centers" where I can further look at niches such as "Stress", "Work", "Relationships", "Sex", etc…getting me closer to my goal of identifying a specific info product topic.
Next, I look at the leading articles - but I look at them differently than most people would. (…)

- Even Faster That Writing A Book…
There are tens of thousands of us that earn our income from publishing information into books, audios, videos, membership sites, physical products, training programs - otherwise known as information products — or infoproducts,
Just as the freelance writer or author has an idea for an article or non-fiction book manuscript, the process is to bring interesting, meaningful and often usable information to our audience who hopefully (if we've done a good job of targeting our market) have a strong, passionate desire for the information we have to offer.

- What Are "Test" Websites?
I constantly get questions from my subscribers about how to launch Adsense-based sites where they want to build a $300-$500/month Adsense income source and wonder how many sites and pages they need to post and how long they will have to wait to achieve this goal.
I'm a big fan of Adsense, have it running on many of my sites but I am NOT a fan of making it your online income source for ANY site - there are just too many other, more lucrative options available to you. (…)

- The "Entrepreneurial Emergency" Is Very Real
We all have points in our business and professional lives where we act out of character, take action when we previously had not or simply overcome a challenge that we've had for years before…
These are critical points in our professional lives, but they often come few and far between AND they typically leave us with the feeling that we wished we had made that decision years ago.
In other cases, we are struggling with our current income level and no matter how hard we try, it more or less stays the same…it's like someone is standing over us pinning us down by standing on our chest.
After reading Rich Schefren's latest report - "The Entrepreneurial Emergency", it's now Crystal Clear how all of us can instantly look around and MAKE those breakthrough, ah…ha moments happen now instead of waiting them to happen to us years down the road. (…)

- Don't Be Afraid Of Affiliate Marketing Business
People assume because I have spent my life operating my own information publishing businesses and helping others to do the same, that I am somehow against affiliate marketing (or any other online business model for that matter.)
Yet, when they join InfoMarketer'sZone and work through the 45-Day Information Product Profits Program they immediately realize that affiliate advertising plays a critical role in building your online marketing Master Blueprint.
In fact, when I first started online I spent an entire year marketing two info-product manuals online - and turned my first 5-figure profits that way, without a single product of my own. (…)
