Magic box makes 100% interest!

Money doesn't grow on trees. Right?
My favorite learning this week was the video by Russell Brunson about his Secret Magic Box. He answers the question: "How do I make my online business profitable?" Build a magic box using resources around you that turn $1 into $2. Once you build it, put more money in it. Sounds crazy right? Maybe not...
His suggested strategies include finding experts in a field and interviewing them. Offer clips for free and a small charge or subscription for the full interview, audio or video. Make it profitable even if 99% of potential customers say no. You don't have to be an expert, or even find an expert, you just have to find someone that knows more than your audience that can articulate clearly. His web page design doesn't involve complicated design or scams. Just good information partly offered for free so anyone can sample, and a reasonable price for various mediums of delivery. 
For me these simple suggestions really fueled the fire. I realized that I have a couple areas of expertise in 3D modeling, graphic design and aquaponics. My wife is a science teacher, mother in law is a dental hygienist, master gardener and seamstress, dad is an electrician and tinkerer. My sister is a photographer, brother in law is a chemist, father in law is in finance, uncle is a butcher/taxidermist. I have people all around me that know valuable skills that would be more than happy to share.
This week I learned that I have more resources around me than I thought. It's time to get my head out of the box.

How to choose a hosting service.

There are a lot of website hosting options out there, so how do you choose? Here are a few ideas for slimming down the competition: First, what kind of website are you building? What are the unique needs of this website? Is it a blog? Is it a drop-shipping site? Are you selling your own products or inventory? Each of these will have their own unique requirements for a website. Each hosting service offers different tools included in the package. Many even offer one free domain for a year. Second, what is your budget? Some hosting services are cheaper to start than others. If you go with a cheaper option you will probably have to sign up for a year or more and after the agreement period your cost will likely increase quite a bit. Make sure you study the plans they offer. Third, how much time do you want to spend building the website? With sites like Weebly , Wix or SquareSpace  the hosting, website builder and tools are all built in to the service. With GoDaddy, BlueHost and...

Treading Water...

I really did feel like I was treading water this week. My understanding of the subjects from this week are only surface deep. I did learn how to add negative keywords and I think that will be really helpful. I feel like all of this stuff is getting more and more complicated every year. Or maybe keywords and ads have always been this complicated and I just didn't understand enough to know how complicated it was. There is more information about all of these subjects than any one person could digest over a lifetime so I guess the best idea would be to study several aspects and get good at a few things. It was interesting to watch how the different keywords performed on my campaigns. Some of the ones I thought would do really well are duds for my ads. It takes a bit of intuition and creativity to find keyword ideas and then it takes numbers and analysis to improve or eliminate them. Its kind of an odd mix of skills.
