A good way to make people buy your products is by creating a sense of urgency. For example, this can be by limiting the amount of copies available or only by having a 24-Hour-Sale-Special-Price. Doing this will send a surge of emotions into your customers, pushing them to buy your product because they don’t want to be “left out”.

I find a lot of successful internet marketers boost the sales of their older products by stating that they will stop selling the product for good for some reason, so if you haven’t got your copy, this will be your last chance. When I was attending the Millionaire Mind Intensive by T Harv Eker, I was definitely “sold” alot of other courses but what intrigued me was how he managed to sell out ALL of his courses by creating a sense of urgency using a seminar-special only price. He combined other sales techniques such as hyping up the price of the seminars, offering an irresistible price and then creating a sense of urgency. These sneaky yet highly effective sales strategies can be used offline/online to boost your sales dramatically.

Imagine if Micheal Jackson’s record label company announced that tomorrow will be the last day any Micheal Jackson album will be sold in the world, I think the company would be rich beyond imagination overnight.

Neat huh? I really should be charging for this

I’ve recently noticed a trend in the “Making Money Online” scheme. Back in the old (offline) days whenever we come across any “Get Rich Quick” schemes we would ignore them almost immediately. But lately i’ve noticed more and more Internet Marketers creating products such as: Make $100-A-Day via the “affiliate marketing software” which basically helps you get rich the lazy man method. In my opinion, there’s no point trying to get rich doing something that doesn’t provide any value to your society or yourself! Most of these “Get-Rich-Quick-Schemes” online won’t work unless you dedicate your life to using these unscrupulous methods (which in fact if you dedicate your life to almost any other job you would make money as well.) What’s important is we are passionate about what we do and bring value by activitely contributing to our audience – not by making money through “full-proof-systems”.

Guys and girls – if you agree with me, all I plea is that you will build products that you are enthusiastic and passionate about, and most important of good quality to benefit our customers. Always remember although we are selling online, it’s no different from the offline world. What do you guys think?

Hey guys, it’s good to have a tracking program for your home business sites so you can track where most of your traffic is coming from and cater your business to your audience. One good program (which i’m using for this site as well) is Google Analytics. Just so you know, its much more than just a simple hit counter . The video above teaches you how you can use Google Analytics to analyze the sources of your site traffic and to optimize your website. For example, what I realized is that most of my traffic comes from social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter etc. Which means I really need to work on my Search Engine Optimization or build on other sources of traffic for my site. Neat huh?

Let’s face it guys. Why waste time fighting over a niche full with competition when you can be in a highly profitable one with virtually no competition ?

I swear to you guys… I’ve never seen anything like this before in internet history. Okay, to give you the lowdown on Fusionology, it’s a new niche which combines the three biggest markets out there – Internet Marketing, Home Based Businesses and Personal Development. Since we’re talking about the 3 biggest markets out there, which means these markets are HIGHLY PROFITTABLE.

This is basically the easiest way to cash in from the comfort of your home. No competition + highly profittable niche = Easy Money. You won’t have to battle with the gurus like David Deangelo (Personal Development) or Milk Filsaime (Internet Marketing). You can finally start your own online business empire from home with ease.

Okay, i’m not gonna sound like a salesman anymore. Just wanted to let you guys on to something juicy. Go and check it out yourself here.

It just crossed me how important reading is.

I was never a big fan of reading when I was young. My family often made fun of me because I only started reading when I was 9 (according them them ). Now, I read almost everyday – online.We all read for different reasons. Some for pleasure, some to pass the time, some to act busy at work.
For me, I read because I love to see things from a different person’s perspective in life. Its interesting how the humans have a common genetic makeup and body physiology but yet, the way our mind interpret things can be so different. I won’t deny that reading has helped shaped me to be the person I am today.

Now why am I talking about reading out of a sudden? Truth is, I wouldn’t be this crazy over home businesses if i didn’t read all the amazing stories of how people live fulfilling lives doing things they love. If you have yet to find your passion -whether home business or not,  just start reading everything! You never know what you might fall in love with

Ok guys, here’s the deal.

As proof that you all that you can escape the 9-5 and live a life of comfort from home, I will be the living online experiment that if I can do it, so can you.

Therefore, I am issuing a challenge to myself that by 17 November 2009, (the end of my term at the hospital) I will quit my 8-5 job and pursue my internet home business hobby full time. If i do not achieve my goal by this date, I will shut down this site.

Its going to be quite a challenge balancing an 8-5 job and working online at night. But it just goes to show if I can accomplish this given the limited amount of time i have in a day, so can you.

Dear readers, please support my effort. All I ask is that you follow my journey on this blog. (comments on blog posts would be helpful too, would love to hear from you guys).

Right! Let the home business movement begin! =)
