Evolution of Home Based Business Models

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

web profits clubThe development of business models has a brief
history. The oldest, most basic business model is the
shopkeeper model.

This involves setting up a store in a location where
customers are likely to be and displaying their
product or service for all the passer-bys to see.

Up over the years, business models have evolved,
changed and become more sophisticated.

The bait and hook business model was introduced in the
early 20th century. This model involved offering a
basic service for a low cost, often at a loss.

This part is the bait. Then by charging compensatory
recurring amounts for refills or other products or
services, this is the hook.

Examples are the razor, which is the bait, and blades,
which are the hook, cell phones that are the bait and
the service charges and airtime that are the hook.

In the 1950s new business models came from some of
today’s well-known companies like McDonalds and
Toyota.

In the 1960’s Wal-Mart was the innovator and the
1970’s saw new business models from FedEx, Toys R Us,
the 1980’s pushed Blockbuster, Home Depot and many
computer companies to the forefront with their
innovative business models.

In turn, many dot-coms suffered because of their
poorly thought out business models.

Today’s business models depend on how the technology
available is used. Entrepreneurs on the Internet have
also created new models that depend on the emergent of
technology.

Using computer technology, a business has the
advantage of reaching a large amount of customers with
a minimal cost.

How To Determine What You Want In Life

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

What do you really want in life?

Most people don’t discover what they want in life until it’s time to die – and that’s a shame.

Most people spend the best years of their lives watching television or doing things they dislike. An author described humanity by saying, “Most people die at twenty and are buried at eighty.” Are you one of the living zombies?

What do you really want in life?

Some people struggle in answering such question. When asked what they want or what their goals in life are, many are unsure. They dillydally in their decision, hardly giving any thought about what they want in life. People without definite goals are letting time pass them by. Are you one of these people?

If you are undecided about what you want out of life, do not worry.  There are many ways of discovering your purpose in life.

To discover what you want in life, try looking deep into your heart. Oftentimes, people are ruled by logic. People live by what they think they should be or by what others like them to be. The discovery process is the perfect time to listen to your heart. What your heart desires comes from the whispers of your authentic self. Your authentic self is the real you. 

Listen to your heart to be able to listen to your authentic self. What your heart says usually feels right. What your heart desires is what you usually love to do and this represents your passion. Anything done with passion is like play where the task is accomplished without hesitation. You pour out your very best and feel no pressure or resistance.

You will totally enjoy doing things that are your passion. Setbacks, difficulties, and obstacles will make it more challenging, but should not deter you from pursuing your goals. Naturally, there may be barriers that may prevent you from reaching your goal, but your heart’s desire will find ways to overcome these barriers so that you may ultimately get what you want in life. Remember this: the universe supports people who are pursuing their passion and those who are pursuing their destiny.

However, this does not mean that you don’t use your head. People are born with both the mind and heart. Your duty is to live your best life and be in harmony with your mind and heart. The poet Rumi wisely said, “Live completely in the head and you cannot feel the breath and rhythm of life. Live completely in the heart and you may find yourself acting like a love-struck fool with poor judgment and discipline. It’s all a fine balance - the head and heart must forge a lifetime partnership if one wants to live a beautiful life.” 

Listen to your instinct. Part of human nature is the mysterious and spontaneous reaction on things. Often times, these are called instincts. Your authentic self communicates with you and guides you via instincts. Instincts are those gentle nudges that urge you to act and follow a certain path. Your role then is to listen attentively.

Often times, we listen to what others say and allow them to run our lives. Parents often do this to their children. “We come from a family of doctors, so my son must also be a doctor.” How often do we hear this from parents who have good intentions for their children? Parents unconsciously block the true expression of their child’s real self and calling. Friends and critics will discourage you and point out the impossibility of your dream. Before heeding their advice, evaluate the accomplishments of the critics. Did they achieve theirs dreams? Do they dream big at all?

Remember, it is your destiny that is in line, not theirs. It doesn’t mean, though, that you will not listen to what other people say. Hear them out just the same. But the final decision should be yours.

There is only thing to remember: Every person, to live truly and greatly, must define how he wants to live and what his brightest life will look like.  Listen to your instincts and follow your heart’s desire. You will never go wrong.

The Perfect Money Making System For Any Level Internet Marketer

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

From: Rick W Davies
Date:  Saturday, April 04, 2009

Let me take a quick second to let you know who I am, where I am coming from and what I can help you to do. Matter of fact, you and I are probably a lot more alike than you could probably imagine.

Firstly, I am not a slick marketer that you will find trading off my name on every other affiliate marketing website that you come across. I value my reputation and I wouldn’t dream of selling the use of my name for a product I don’t use or wouldn’t use personally.

You see, I slogged it out with a government job for more than 24 years and my transition into online marketing was one that was full of frustration, anger and crushing disappointment.

I had never failed at anything before, but online marketing had me slamming into a brick wall, time after time only to get back up, dust myself off and then take another run at the same brick wall.

I was the perfect sucker.

I invested in too many “get-rich-quick” schemes and put my trust even in a too many people that were only interested in my money for a product that my 45 years plus of life-experience told me was too good to be true.And then, under the direction and guidance of someone that actually cared that I succeed, I found what works.

Not only does it work for me, it can work for anyone. I mean that. This will work for absolutely anyone!

Now I can sell just about whatever I choose, whenever I choose and I can pretty much predict how many I’ll sell too

You’ll see so called “gurus” bragging about making a few thousand a month on ClickBank. Don’t get me wrong, that is a lot of money and I know for most of you that would be a dream come true.

But what most of them produce in sales in a month, I produce in a single day.

The total for JUST that ONE DAY was $3540.87!
(NOTE: Not all sales from the day above are shown other than in the
total. They would not all fit in a single screenshot!)

What used to take me 14-16 hours a day, now takes mere minutes….that’s right….mere minutes to make the type of income I make day in, day out.

But with or without me, once it is all set-up, this runs on complete autopilot. Some weeks, all I really need to do is collect the commission checks from my post office box and take them to the bank.

Matter of fact, last time I took my family on vacation, my business actually MADE MORE MONEY than when I was home to supervise it…LOL. Go figure!

Have my statements above got you interested?

It’s not rocket-science, and I can safely say I have never been dirty, wet or physically tired when I pushed myself away from my desk at the end of a day.

If you are willing to learn a little bit, I will show you how I produce results like the screenshot above and I’ll even show you how and where to promote to receive unbelievable traffic and results!

You Could Actually Start Seeing Sales Today!

Selling Your Horse - Part 2

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Years ago selling a horse included putting an advertisement in a publication and wait for calls. Today with the Internet, many new avenues are available to selling your horse. Once you have chosen where to advertise and picked out a price you need to write your advertisement.

When writing your advertisement make sure you focus on the positive, but don’t over embellish. If your horse would make a nice hunter but has not been started over fences then make sure to say they are a prospect. Your horse is a nice horse but it cannot be a 17 hand jumper and a 14 hand cow pony. You my lose a real buyer when you try to make your horse everything for everybody.

Don’t forget to include any extras benefits your horse has, like breed or specialty incentive funds or state programs for which your horse is eligible.  These often will add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to a final sale price.  One such program is the Kentucky Breeders Incentive Fund (KYBIF).  If you have horses for sale in Kentucky, then this should definitely be listed.  This also applies if you have Kentucky Stallions eligible for KYBIF.

Make sure that you research your horse’s pedigree. Some breeds require you to pay a few dollars for a report but it is usually well worth it. While being well bred is not the end all, it does give a buyer a good idea of the horse’s potential. Having a show record or being related to successful horses will enhance the appeal of the horse and help you sell quicker and for a better price.

Presenting Your Horse For Sale

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Years ago trying to sell a horse meant placing an advertisement in one of the major publications then wait for the calls to come in. Today with so many people with Internet access, many new avenues have opened up and are available to assist in selling your horse.  The major benefits of online advertising are shorter times to market, less restrictions on who sees it (mot just magazine subscribers), and better ways to track the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.  Below, we’ve presented some things to keep in mind when starting online marketing of your horse.

Know Your Audience

Take the time and look through the different websites that advertise horses for sale, and find the right one where your horse fits in. For instance, don’t try to sell a cutting horse on a website that advertises jumpers. Conversely, don’t decide to place an ad for your Grand Prix jumper in the local paper.

Free is not always free

Many websites offer free ads and some like Craigslist do a good job of helping local people sell local horses. However, on the major advertising websites, it could be difficult to get people interested in viewing text only ads or advertisements without pictures.  Offering ads with full color, and good resolution images, will go much further than just text.

The Price Right

Pricing your horse correctly is one of the important factors. Many times, if you over-price the horse in the beginning, you end up selling it for less money than if you had just priced it correctly to begin with. When determining price make a list of your horse’s positive qualities. Are they enrolled in any incentives like the AQHA Incentive Fund or APHA Breeders’ Trust, are they Kentucky Breeders’ Incentive Fund (KYBIF) eligible?

Once you have a list of their features take the time to review the other ads that are already out there. Find ten good comparable horses, check their prices, and then decide on your listing prince and final selling price.

To get an idea of what comparable horses are selling for, go to KyBIF Only and see what’s listed there.
