Nano-Niche Marketing - The Future Is Here

Online marketers have come to terms with the idea of developing keyword rich content on their websites and blogs using long tail keywords.

Online marketing is in a transformative stage where aggressive marketers are realizing the future lies in digging deeper into their long tail keyword phrase to find that so-called nano-niche.

One example of this may be the use of the long tail keyword phrase "make money."

A broad term like this may have worked great last year, but it is virtually useless today.

Now marketers must dig deeper and use a phrase like "make money fast at home" to access this market with free organic search traffic.

So, if you want to learn more about this evolving marketing strategy, head over to my blog on nano-niche marketing and read some more at Nano-Niche Marketing.

Work Sucks Version 2.0

Okay, it's a given. For the most part, work sucks. I don't mean the work you put into building your own home business, or researching a stock or real estate investment.

I'm talking about the kind of work that involves punching a time clock and waiting around until Friday so you can go to the grocery store with your weekly paycheck.

The purpose of this Cash Ideas Now blog is to help you find ways to free yourself from the work routine, and yes, identify ways to make money.

How To Make A Six Figure Income Online

Your job is a necessary evil during the early stages of your wealth creation, but it should not represent a long-term plan. Not only do jobs restrict your income potential, they may also be hazardous to future income. Recent surveys and census data indicate approximately 30% of people will be forced to retire early due to circumstances beyond their control, including layoffs and illnesses. AXA Equitable and Nationwide Financial have an extensive database of figures related to forced layoffs and early retirements.


Jobs are created by entrepreneurs who understand that wealth is created by adding value to raw material or services, and selling finished products or services at a profit. Who adds the value to raw materials and services? You do. You are only valuable to an employer when you can effectively and efficiently add value to the organization’s product or service.

So, if you are interested in rising above a just over broke (J.O.B.) existence, you need to take Work sucks’ advice and look for income opportunities outside employment.

There’s no denying the fact that a job, with a steady income, is nice to have. It helps you pay the bills and keeps a roof over your family’s head. Unfortunately, that’s about all it does. What’s in a job? Security? A pension? Some of us are dreaming of retirement, thinking we’ll be happy living off half of what we can’t afford to live on today.

A job was never meant to make people wealthy. In a free market environment we sell our labor to an employer for the highest pay possible, while your boss tries to pay you the lowest wage you will accept. Usually the boss wins, because he is in control of the purse strings. As long as you look to your job for wealth, you will be disappointed.


If you want to become wealthy, you must look beyond your job. You earn a living between 9 and 5, but you achieve wealth after 5 and on weekends.

Most Americans think a job is security, but they are wrong. As long as you depend upon somebody else for your livelihood, you are a slave to that person and/or organization. And like a slave, you can be dispensed with as soon as they deem your services uneconomical. It’s a negative image, and I apologize for hitting you with it, but you can’t sit back and relax in the pseudo security of a job or retirement plan and expect others to secure a financial future for you and your family. Dependence is not security; independence is security.

While dropping my son off at school recently, I noticed an elderly gentleman standing in front of the school with a sandwich sign draped around his neck. The man was protesting unfair hiring practices by the school in the form of age discrimination. We live in a society that rewards youth and beauty, while disregarding the value of experience and ability. This man was willing to stand before the community to protest this injustice. His dilemma is all too common today, where hard working people have entrusted employers to provide them lifetime employment. Unfortunately, this trust does not reflect reality. Owning your own business is one vehicle you can use to take responsibility for your own financial future, without having to depend upon the vagaries of an unjust job market.
The expression, “if you want to catch fish, you have to risk the bait,” is so common it has become cliché. But how many of us actually incorporate that basic philosophy into our lives? Are you willing to risk the “security” of the traditional nine to five, Monday through Friday routine, to enjoy financial freedom? Vince Lombardi once stated “the will to excel, the will to win: these are the things that endure.” A business built with your own hands, energy, and ingenuity can endure where a job cannot, but if you expect to become a successful entrepreneur, you will have to take risks.

Taking risks to create wealth does not mean senseless gambling of your savings in the stock or bond markets, or betting everything on a horse race. Taking a risk means putting your self-confidence and self-image on the line. It means taking the chance of being embarrassed in the marketplace. And, it can also mean going against popular opinion and peer pressure to follow a dream. As Teddy Roosevelt was fond of saying, “seek opportunity, not security.”

Aside from the “job security” issues, your status as a wage or salary earner places you in the highest taxed form of income. Passive and portfolio income does not fall victim to Social Security taxes, and expenses associated with operating your business come out of your gross receipts prior to taxes. The structure of business taxation can allow you to enjoy some of the finer things in life, such as dining out, vacations, and nice cars (provided they are legitimate business expenses), while the same pleasures in life for a wage earner must use after tax dollars to do so. Robert Kiyosaki talks about this concept in detail in his Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, which should be required reading for any wealth builder. You don’t have to like him, agree with him, or buy real estate to get wealthy, but you should at least give him a try.

Not convinced? Take a look at some current statistics regarding employment.

It's been said that 80% of America is two missed paychecks away from financial disaster, and recent statistics indicate Americans spend 110% of their monthly income. Do you fit this mold? What would happen if you were laid off without pay tomorrow? Can Americans look forward to a secure retirement under Social Security or the company pension plan?

Current labor statistics do not paint a pretty picture, with quality jobs being outsourced overseas quicker than new jobs are being created. Sure, there are always low paying, low skill jobs available. But who can support a family on minimum wage?

Manufacturing jobs in particular have taken a beating in the marketplace during the past few decades, with some states, like Michigan, losing over 23,000 jobs in the course of a year. According to Labor Department figures, 26 states have seen manufacturing job losses in the past year. The federal government claims many of these displaced workers are receiving retraining, however, Bureau of Labor Statistics cites fewer than 204,000 displaced workers qualified for retraining in 2003, and only 47,000 actually received training assistance. The Bureau of Labor Statistics defines displaced workers as, “persons 20 years of age and older who lost or left jobs because their plant or company closed or moved, there was insufficient work for them to do, or their position or shift was abolished.” During the January 2001 through December 2003 period, 5.3 million workers were displaced from jobs they had held for at least 3 years.

In June of 2006, 4.6% of the available workforce in America was unemployed for an average of 18.4 weeks. For workers over 45 years of age, this unemployment period jumped to 23.8 weeks. That is over 5 months. Compare this to the statistic in the Introduction of this report that reveals many Americans have less than 3 months worth of cash and assets available to sustain them without continuing income. Of course, there is unemployment insurance, but this may take weeks to kick in, is a degrading and frustrating process, and is certainly no route to achieving the standard of living your family deserves.

Of the 7.6 million Americans unemployed at one time or another in the past year, 4.3 million lost their job due to completion of temporary projects, 3.7 million were laid off, and 1.9 suffered permanent job loss through no apparent fault of their own. To top it off, the median weekly wage and salary for working Americans in 2005 was $651. It hardly seems worth the effort. Yet, 123 million American go to work everyday, living paycheck to paycheck. Over 13 million of these people work in “alternative” job arrangements as independent contractors, on-call laborers, and temporary services. Additionally, in 2004 nearly 8 million Americans worked multiple jobs simultaneously—just to make ends meet.

Most Americans think a job is security. They are wrong. As long as you depend upon somebody else for your livelihood, you are a slave to that person and/or organization. And like a slave, you can be dispensed with as soon as they deem your services uneconomical. I suggest it is time to change the way you do business and start working for yourself.

Dependence is not security--independence is security. Don't sit back and relax in the pseudo security of a job or retirement plan. To achieve wealth you will need to learn how to accept and manage a certain amount of risk.

Success gurus like Anthony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki teach that you have to get excited about wealth building to achieve success. What excites you about building personal wealth? How do you feel about poverty, or the lack of money? What motivates you to spend your free time reading books like this, studying interest rate tables, or analyzing stocks and real estate deals?

To achieve financial success you must get emotionally charged over something wealth represents. After all, it’s probably not the money you are after. You are after the security and promise of a better life.

Use these emotional tags to drive you to work while others sleep. Use your anger over working for an unappreciative boss to push you to limit your spending on frivolous doodads. Use your desire to achieve a better quality of life for your family as an impetus to analyze more deals, take calculated risks, and strive for more sources of passive and portfolio income. In the end, use your determination to achieve the independence and security of sound financial management and personal wealth.

No Job, No Problem!

Robert Allen discusses building an Internet marketing business in his book Multiple Streams of Internet Income. The Second Edition of this book is well worth reading.

While Allen does not put it in these terms, my description of this process below is based on his ideas.

You see, depending on your job as your sole source of income is asking for trouble. Gone are the days of lifetime employment, or pensions that make retirement worthwhile. To succeed in today’s financial market you must accept that depending on your job for a living is simply begging for a life of poverty.

In my Work Sucks blog series, I discuss the need for each of us to develop multiple streams of income. Imagine a trickle of water rolling off the rocks at the tops of a mountain. This trickle joins other trickles of water to become a stream. As the water flows off the mountain the streams join forces to create a river, and then flow out to sea.

Your income streams are like those trickles. You don’t need to look for a river of income from one source to create wealth. Instead, focus on finding a way to create a small trickle of income. For example, selling $100 worth of household items on Ebay every month. Add to that a trickle of income from selling $100 worth of used books on Amazon, perhaps $50 monthly from completing online paid surveys, and perhaps $200 worth of commissions from affiliate marketing sales. These four trickles of income have suddenly grown to a stream of $450 per month in income.

How many times could you repeat this process? And, how many streams of income would it take to equal your job income?

Look for the opportunity to create multiple streams of income on the Internet. Once you have reached a level that is equal to your job income you can either decide to quit your job or use this extra income to build a capital base for investing in appreciable assets such as real estate and stocks. The positive cash flow from these investments can then become a source of passive and portfolio income, as described by Robert Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Opportunities to start creating multiple streams of income are everywhere. You just have to look, and then apply yourself to learning how to make them work for you.

Your Work Sucks! Super Hero

Work Sucks!

Warning !!

This article may be depressing. I just finished reading "Notes From The Underground" by Dostoyevsky, so I'm feeling a bit rebellious. To give you a taste of this blog without requiring you to read the whole flippin thing, here's an executive summary: Work Sucks!

For you non-executive types out there, here's the rest of the story.

Go to school, get a job, retire broke. What a vicious cycle. Would you like to:

1. Make real money?
2. Get out of debt?
3. Take more time off work?
4. Retire early—with money?
5. Buy a house?
6. Maybe even get rich?

Your job will never help you achieve any of these things. Sorry to clue you in to this sad little fact, but your job is not the answer to these questions. Let’s be frank—your job sucks!

But, for a few of us with a little initiative and a bit of vision, a home-based business may be the answer to those questions above.

By now you’re probably thinking you don’t have the business skills to be successful, or you don’t want to have to sell things. Hah, if you work at the mall or at the local fast food outlet, you sell things—only for somebody else. As for business skills, who gives a flip; Business majors are not brain surgeons—or even educators for that matter. I know, because I were one.

My degree landed me an assistant manager’s job at a hamburger joint you would know well, where I proceeded to waste six of the best years of my life. I told you I was stupid. It took me six years to find the exit.

As an Internet surfer and blogger you know a lot about business and social networking. Business is about creating relationships with people, and using your natural skills to make friends and maintain online relationships. Believe it or not, you have the ability to create a highly successful online business—starting from where you are at today.

Why let this natural talent and free resource waste away while you think about applying to flip burgers down the street? Forget it.

Working for the man is for losers too ugly or socially inept to make a friend. Who’s the man? He’s the guy that strolls into the store once or twice a week to pick up the bank bag you filled.

Do you have two friends? If so, you have the makings of a following. Now all you have to do is create a message, perhaps in the form of a blog, that others may learn from. You’re young, and I know you would rather spend time surfing the Net and making friends than sweating over a hot grill flipping burgers for minimum wage while some guy who barely speaks English tells you you’re doing it wrong.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

It’s been said that nothing succeeds like success.

In network marketing, you succeed by helping the people in your organization succeed. The key to this success is the proper training of your downline.
Training is critical to helping your downline develop and stay motivated. Training is an ongoing process that involves constant effort on your part to make the basics of this business second nature to your people. Consider the professional football team. These people are experts, they’ve played football their entire lives. But what do they do five and sometimes six days a week? Train.

As your organization grows you need to make regular training sessions in your living room a habit. Invite everybody in your organization, and cover the basics of the business over and over:

a. Focus on the big picture

One of the most important things you can do for the members of your downline is to keep them motivated.

To do this, remind them why they joined. Rekindle the fire of their dreams and aspirations, and be an example to them that is worthy of emulation. Have a dream session at the beginning of each meeting. Ask each of the attendees in turn, “Why did you join this company? What can I or any of the other associates do to help you succeed?”

b. Goal setting

At this point the people in your downline should know how to set goals. During the meeting ask people to share their goals with the group and then lead the group in a discussion of how that person can best achieve that goal. Remember, keep the goals focused on those areas where results can be seen and measured, preferably within the month.

c. Working the Action Plan

The same applies to the action plan as to the goals in item (b) above. Openly discuss each individual’s action plans, and help him or her, as a group, to fine-tune them. Throughout the training session, reinforce the idea that your organization is a team, and should work together and openly, to help one another achieve his or her individual goals.

d. Demonstrating the product

The importance of sells is discussed in the next section. In your training session it is important that you not only remind members of your downline of the importance of sales volume, but also give them some ideas on how to do it. Don’t be like the proverbial boss who assigns a task to some hapless laborer, then walks away without providing the tools or training to accomplish it. If you are serious about sells, then train your people how to conduct sells. If you don’t know yourself--learn; or ask someone from your upline to come in and help.

e. Recruiting

The issue of recruiting should be discussed in every training session, and individuals should be allowed to share with the group their successes and failures in this area. One of your distributors may be on the edge of dropping out, fearing that his recruiting failures are unique and incurable. However, fifteen minutes of group discussion may show him that he is not alone. A few more minutes of group brainstorming may find a solution to the problem.

A group of people, working towards a common goal, has access to an enormously powerful tool called synergism. Synergy is where the culmination of the mental resources within a group is greater than simply adding up the number of people in attendance. Synergy lets you share ideas, enlarge upon another person’s thoughts, correct somebody’s misperceptions, and feel the joy of teamwork. In your training sessions, don’t waste this valuable resource by not engaging everybody in the training process.

f. Managing the business and your image

Finally, remind people of the criticality of presenting themselves and representing the sponsoring company in a professional matter. Be a good example here. Your downline will follow your lead in this area quicker than any other.

Ron Taylor is involved with a company that automates the entire process of showing the plan, recruiting new members, and managing product orders and shipment. While product sells and recruiting are not required to succeed in his business, personally sponsoring members and product usage will increase residual income levels. During the past month Ron has demonstrated his commitment to supporting his downline by moving over 40 new members into the downline of his leader group.

Four Trends That Can Make You Wealthy

The wealthiest people in the world acquired their wealth through a careful recognition and exploitation of a major trend. For example, Bill Gates took advantage of the birth of personal computers and made billions by marketing software that enabled people to use their computer. Sam Walton took advantage of a trend in retail sales and developed a self-service, discount department store concept that became Wal-Mart.

We are at the brink of four major trends. These trends are the Internet, the aging of the world’s population, the exploding home-based business market, and the growth of the wellness industry.

First, the Internet is an exciting marketplace, made up of nearly 1 billion global users. People have become accustomed to using the Internet to purchase products, and have gained confidence in its security and ease of use.

Second, the world’s population is aging. One-third of the population was born between 1946 and 1962, and over 18,000 people turn 50 years old everyday. This offers a huge market potential for people who can address the needs of older adults.

Third, the home-based business craze is sweeping the world to the tune of over 14,000 new home-based businesses starting each day. People are coming to terms with the fact that Social Security and pension funds will not allow them to enjoy a standard of living that meets their expectations. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates most people in America will retire on less than $10,000 per year.

Fourth, people around the world have become more concerned with their health. There is a current trend to spend more money on natural or organic foods, and quality supplements.

In my opinion, creating wealth has never been easier for people willing and able to recognize and capitalize on these four trends. Find an Internet, home-based business that addresses the needs of older adults, and you’ll have a winner.
