Successful Online Business Basics

Posted on May 11, 2012 by whoisbaz

A Successful Online Business Should Be Well Thought Out!

There are a few things I believe a successful online business is built upon …

Multiple revenue streams

A Business plan

Excellent Cusomer Service

Multiple Revenue Streams Are Key To A Successful Online Business

Multiple revenue streams are a key factor to the success of your online business and should play an integral part of your overall business plan.  Without them your business could be put into jeopardy by the product or service you are providing failing in the marketplace.

Diversification has been a great money maker for offline businesses (particularly manufacturing) and should not be forgotten in the online world, in fact it is probably a whole lot easier and much more profitable to achieve success with it online. The world is truly your oyster and if you choose your multiple revenue streams wisel, you will see your successful online business grow every single day.

A Successful Online Business Plan

Nobody going into business (and this is what Internet Marketing is all about) should dream of ploughing ahead without some form of business plan.  This should include your ethos, your strategy and your goals … both financial and “spiritual” (in my humble opinion).  I believe if you have a sound business plan in place you can stay focused on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

How else will you know if you have become SUCCESSFUL if you are not managing your business through measuring yourself up to your business plan.

Achievable and measurable goals are how I have got to where I am today.  Now I’m not saying you can’t dream of the distant future … but somehow having one foot in reality will also help you get to your dreams!

Excellent Customer Service Is Paramount in any Successful Online Business.

I strongly believe here that your customer service “charter” is one of your greatest strengths in YOUR fight to survive in this industry.  Simply “Over promising” in your marketing and “Under delivering” in your service is not helping our industry to survive, let alone your business.

Being honest in your marketing activities and with your resultant team, taking the lead “being a guinea pig” sometimes on new strategies and offering sage words of wisdom and support … will ultimately extend the life of your business.

Not only that but you will enjoy the gratitude both financially and complimentry for a long time to come.

“The relationships you build with your friends, peers and associates will ULTIMATLEY determine the SUCCESs you have in BUSINESS and indeed LIFE”  Baz Smith 2012

Take time on these basics and stick with your chosen philosophy and you WILL attain your own successful online business, for sure!

Multiple Revenue Streams Ensure A Successful Online Business For You

Posted on May 3, 2012 by whoisbaz

Multiple Revenue Streams And The Basics

Running a successful online business you really do need to consider your options. How much time you have on your hands. What financial risk you want to outlay. When you want to see a return. How much you want to make.

Along with many other questions to answer so you build a successful online business through a proper business plan. You do need to consider putting together a business plan similar to one required to show a bank manager. Believe me, this is paramount and any business plan with multiple revenue streams is going to be the winner.

Multiple Revenue Streams in YOUR Business Plan

WHY? So you know exactly what your potential is going to be in your business. Is it actually going to be successful. Are you going to be able to sustain growth? Have you left yourself open to “all your eggs in one basket” syndrome? Can you cope and manage multiple revenue streams, or run out of time?

Multiple Revenue Streams Just Online? No way!

That is why I will always have multiple revenue streams in my business and not always all online either. You see, I love online business revenues but for me they are prone to going “pop” just as mauch as any high street store can. So to be safe and in business for the long term then I would ALWAYS advise my team to have something off line as well as online activiites.

I also like my team to diversify online as well. Too many gurus promote focussing on ONE product at a time … generally it is THEIR product LOL!

Making sure you have spread your risks over a manangeable amount of different revenue streams, this will ensure little or no effect on your monthly residual income if one happens to close business.

Which Is BETTER? Facebook Or IBO Toolbox For A Successful Online Business

Posted on April 28, 2012 by whoisbaz

What use To YOU Is Facebook and is IBO toolbox a BETTER Platform for YOU and your goal of a Successful Online Business?

Don’t get me wrong Facebook is still a great place to share your photos, keep people up to date, share with your long distant relatives and even the odd online game, but can it really compete with othe platforms for promoting your successful online business.

However does it really help you to build a successful online business from the foundations upwards?

In my humble opinion NO.

You see with IBO Toolbox it does most of the above ( no games as yet, and hopefully NEVER) but in addition it is full of other TRULY like minded people who are ready willing and able to share YOUR blogs, videos and links to the outside world.   Facebook just doesn’t have that “Community Spirit” that IBO Toolbox has achieved for me and plenty of others too.

Not only that but the sharing has IMMENSELY increased my ability to get to NEW prospects who are extremely WELL targetted due to the fact that YOU know they are interested in making money online and building a successful online business.

A Communtiy Spirit And Your Successful Online Business

Facebook is like looking for a needle in a haystack.  However with the sharing in IBO TOOLBOX your information is still hitting Facebook as well … so you actually get the best of both worlds!

What’s really great for me is I now have another medium to send out my blogposts and information to the world and can help others to “go viral” with theirs TOO. So for me IBO Toolbox outstrips Facebook every single time for my successful online business.

Multiple Revenue Streams| A Work In Progress

Posted on April 16, 2012 by whoisbaz

Multiple Revenue Streams Strategy Is Building To It’s FULL Potential

As  I write this post my MRS (Multiple Revenue Streams) Strategy is goin ahead full steam.  However, I am fully aware that it is still a work in progress for many of my team.  You see, we are ALL in different situations, time causes some limitations, others it is the financial side of things.

Also for me I WILL NOT promote something I have not fully investigated myself first.  Most of the money making products and systems I have adopted in my multiple revenue streams have been researched over months.  Some even before I funded them myself, you see I have to be very careful not to promote something, that simply won’t work for others.

Multiple Revenue Streams REQUIRE A TEAM

This simply is NOT TRUE.  You can earn money from my MRS strategy without having your own team … however it can help immensely to build your fund quicker.  However, the idea of the multiple revenue streams strategy is to allow members of my team to make money without the need of a huge team below them.

One of the major factors why I have left behind some fruitful revenue streams is because my team could not achieve the same success as me … simply because of their lack of team building success!

Multiple Revenue Streams Additions

At present I am funding a list of other multiple revenue streams possibilities and these will soon appear on my page with a video to showing my back office of each.  BUT not until I am happy that one … they do what they say, two … I have checked and understood them, three I have managed to take out my initial funding.

Some forget that this is all virtual money until the cash hits their bank accounts … so one word of advice is WITHDRAW.

Always check that the payment processor works and you can prove tha you have liquidated money from the system before offering before adding to your multiple revenue streams portfolio.

Please keep an eye on my multiple revenue streams page as I will continue to add more to my portfolio and share them with the masses.

Online Banner Advertising For Your Successful Online Business

Posted on March 13, 2012 by whoisbaz

Use Online Banner Advertising As A second Arm To Successful Promotion

Banners Broker offers you multiple publisher sites where you can earn advertising revenues whilst you advertise your business on other websites within the network.

While you pay for your initial advertising, you can also earn revenue to offset your costs.

Online Banner Advertising

 

This shows you a green panel purchased for $270, which you can set at 50% repurchase which equates to you being paid your $270 back and gaining you another green panel.  Or you can set it at 100% which will see you purchasing two green panels when it has reached its capacity of traffic.

If you don’t understand any of the above don’t worry as Banners Broker explains it all to you.  Failing that I have a very supportive nature and will always help ANY member of my team to understand and progress their business … just ask!

Spring To A Stay At Home Dad

Posted on March 5, 2012 by whoisbaz

As A Stay At Home Dad I LOVE The First Signs Of Spring

It means as a stay at home dad, I get to spend more time with Luke in the open air.  Yes we’ve had time in the garden building a snowman together this winter, but the days out have been few and far between.

However, it has afforded me the luxury of setting up some really exciting marketing strategies whilst playing indoors.

Goals Are Key To A Stay At Home Dad In Business

How Are YOU Achieving YOUR Goals This Year?

Do you want to become a stay at home dad or mum?

Have you got the willingness to learn while you earn?

Sometimes the problem with life in general is MOTIVATION.  If you don’t feel motivated to do something … guess what ,YOU won’t do it!

Now motivation is a funny concept, as we are all driven and motivated by different things.  Outside influences can also affect our inner ability to motivate ourselves.

So what is STOPPING You?

Now I am not saying it was an easy decision to give up my Full time job to become a stay at home dad, far from it.  In fact, it scared me half to death, that I would be in charge of a young baby.  What’s more, turning my back on any easy access to employment doors was just as frightening.

My motivation as a stay at home dad is only going to increase this year as the second Smith baby arrives in August.   The self need for me to achieve my business goals also increases.

How can YOU change your life for the better?

Does it involve more money?  How about more leisure time? What if you could discover a way to have more flexibilty in your life, to do what you WANT?

Now I am not going to tell you, it’s an easy ride.  Because there are “NO FREE LUNCHES” But if you find the motivation to change your lifestyle you may just be amazed with the results YOU can achieve.

stay at home dad

 

I love my life as a stay at home dad and running my own successful online business,  make a change yourself.

Stay At Home Dad BIG Update

Posted on February 27, 2012 by whoisbaz

Baz Smith Stay At Home Dad Has Some Great News To Share

Well as a stay at home dad and loving father to Luke (who is now over two years old … where has that gone?), I think it’s really GREAT news …

The “Smith Family” is expanding really soon.  We have been so lucky with Luke that we decided to have another one!  Emma is expecting a little brother or sister for Luke and due in August.  Now as a stay at home dad and internet marketer, I might just have TOO much on my hands this summer.

But don’t panic, as we have a “cunning plan” in true Baldrick style.  This time Emma is under strict instructions not to rush back to work this time.

Stay at Home Dad Has Home Help!

This time we plan to spend more time together as a family, through the autumn and the run up to Christmas.  So I will have an extra pair of hands around the home this time.  I really don’t know how I ever had time for a 8 til 6 job in the past.

Do you want to be a Stay At Home Dad?

I wouldn’t find time to hold a full time job down anymore! LOL do you?

As a stay at home dad I do still find time to support my team, have time to play with Luke and even given time to go to the park with him. However a full time role would just get in the way right now!

Do you get the opportunity to make “spur of the moment” decisions like …

Let’s go to the seaside.

Shall we lunch?

What about nipping over to see Nanna & Grandad?

stay at home dad

 

 

As a stay at home dad and Internet Marketer we can and it will only get better soon as Emma (Mummy) will be here as well!

Making Money Online Is It A Myth

Posted on February 20, 2012 by whoisbaz

Making Money Online Doesn’t Have To Difficult

When I look back over the last 18 months or so I have always had one thing on my mind and that’s how many people are really making money online?

We’ve ALL seen the claims from many people promoting their clickbank accounts.  Some of which seem far fetched and even ficticious.   I for one don’t think it is anyones business how much money I make online.   I also don’t think it is a very inventive way of promoting this great industry, either.

 Making Money Online Hype

The problem with this form of promotion is it always seem to lead to hype and misleading information.  I am all for giving plain and simple advice and use the similar principles in my marketing of making money online.

So Are YOU Making Money Online?

Or are you still one of those looking under every stone to discover that magical NEW method to make your millions? Don’t waste all your time with the bluff and bust that is out there.  Find someone you trust and go with them,

If you would like to know more about how I am making money online then you can simply send me a message and I will explain just how!

What Does A Stay At Home Dad Do For Valentines?

Posted on February 9, 2012 by whoisbaz

As A Stay At Home Dad Has The Romance Gone?

No way, with looking after my son Luke for the last two years I now have twice the love coming my way.  Even though it’s not quite the same love as you share with your wife, fiance or girlfriend … as a stay at home dad, it is still love nonetheless.

Stay At Home Dad

So this years Valentine’s Day is going to be filled with “Love ALL Around” it will also be the last one we share as three of us.

Things Are Going to Change Dramatically For This Stay at Home Dad

We are now expecting our second child (all being well in August), so we will start another new chapter in our lives together.  However, this time it’s likely to be a little different.  We have plans that will allow Emma to spend a bit more time around the family home over the next year or so.

I call it “Payback time” and not what you think either!  I want Emma to experience the joys of looking after a baby this time and I will concentrate a little more on my business over the summer months.

Now as a Stay At Home Dad I have experienced so much delight in the last two years it is certainly going to be difficult to let the reins go, but Emma deserves her turn in the wonderful delights of proper motherhood.  She has sacrificed her chance for me in the past and now it is time to give back … Good luck Emmy!

A Stay at Home Dad Valentines Day Menu

To start with I thought we would have scallops( Our favourite starter), but then quickly altered this as we have a pregnant lady in the house!

So instead we will share in the delight of …

Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup … garnished with sauted mushrooms and shavings of parmessan cheese (Not again! OK for the pregnant ladies Leerdammer!)

For main course we both love Chicken breast stuffed with brie and wrapped in parma ham, but !!!!!! What will it taste like with leerdammer, or edam inside?

Dessert is a certainty

Creme Brulee, no fancy fruit flavours, just pure and simple!

What will you serve up for your special man or lady this Valentines Day?

It’s fun being a stay at home dad, why don’t you?
