The Power of Passion

Thanks to Henri Junttila for this inspirational guest post on how to find your life’s passion and how to make the best of it!

——————————————————————————-

Tomaz has talked a lot about doing something you’re passionate about and the Site Build It! Action Guide emphasizes this as well. Without passion you will not keep going when you aren’t seeing results in the first 3, 6 or even 12 months.

Building a real business takes a lot of hard work, so it’s essential that you find something you love. If money didn’t exist, what would you do? There are no limits, only those that we impose on ourselves.

For example, you can have multiple passions, why not? I recently discovered that I am extremely passionate about helping people grow both spiritually and financially.

We all have something that we love doing and something that we burn for. Using that and turning it into a business will take you a long way. Read more

How I Bought A Domain For A Third Of Asking Price

I just bought a domain for a third of asking price and since it worked so well, I thought you might want to know what happened.

I was planning a niche website and started to check the best domains related to it on http://whois.domaintools.com.

Best domains are short, catchy and include the main keyword or a synonym.

For example, if you were planning a site which would share lots of tennis tips, you’d want to check if tennistips.com, tennistips.net, tennis-tips.com and similar domains are still available.

I checked about 7 or 8 domains, used synonyms that tried to say the same thing using other keywords when I came across a domain that was for sale:

Domain for sale

I followed the link and ended up on a site that specializes in buying and selling domain names. There was a form to complete: Read more

What’s a Good Content Page?

You know that in order to rank well in search engines you need to provide good content on your site and support it with quality incoming links.

But what exactly is »good« content?

People often ask me; how many words should I write? Is 300 words enough? Do I need to add pictures too? How about videos? And so on…

All these questions are based on the wrong type of thinking when it comes to success. That’s because in the back of your mind is this thinking: what is the least amount of work that I need to do to earn money?

Read that sentence a few times and think logically whether this type of thinking will get you successful (in any field).

I don’t think so.

In other words, you’re looking for shortcuts. Well, then success will take a shortcut around you too… Read more

Twitter = Automation = Traffic

I wish to thank Brent from Pattaya Thailand Travel Guide site for allowing me to publish his article on Twitter and how to automate it to get tons of traffic. Brent has first published this article in SBI forums and kindly allowed me to use it on freedomideas.com too.

——————————————————————————————

There are tools to automate most processes on twitter that will take some time to set
them up but these tools will reduce your time on Twitter to several minutes a day.

Twitter is also a great way to make yourself and your web presence more visible to a
broader audience in your niche, helps you find link exchange opportunities, and get to know other interesting people.

Every time you “tweet” (send a message of a 140 characters) on twitter you will get an
average response (a user clicking on a link in your tweet) of about 2% or 2 clicks per
100. These numbers may be slightly different for you. Read more

Want to Start an Online Business and You Worry About…

There can be many worries and doubts when one thinks about starting an online business. The goal of this post is to find out many fears you may have and remove them by sharing our stories.

My friend told me a few days ago that he was delaying his decision to finally start an online business because he felt that the competition is too tough. He had an idea for a niche and typed a few keywords into Google to see who was his main competition.

The top spots were taken by about.com, consumersearch.com and other massive websites. Not only have these website pagerank 6, 7 or 8 and Alexa rating below 10,000, there are also very skilled writers posting their articles.

“How I am going to beat them? Impossible.”

Here are 3 reasons why this fear is empty:

Should You Outsource Content Writing At The Beginning?

Here’s a Q&A with one of my friends about content outsourcing:

Q: Hi Tomaz,

I’m in the middle of day 2 progress with SBI.

I’m an avid reader of your blog. About developing a site concept, learning from SBI, one need brain and motivation to make things work. What keeps me wondering is, I read from your blog about how you built your vacuum site, when you have no deep knowledge about vacuum cleaner, but you hired article writing services to develop your content, and it now works like a charm.

I’ve bought one of Dr Andy’s niche package, a couple of months ago. The niche is about ‘”…..’. I have no knowledge at all about this niche. Do you think it may work well for me if I hire someone else to develop content, as you did with your niche on vacuum cleaner?

Achieving financial freedom by working from home with an online business can take just 2 simple steps if you take a look at the big picture.

Note that simple does not necessarily mean easy.

Working from home and pursuing financial freedom with an online business can become simple after a while, but it still takes effort and commitment, which most people don’t find easy.

(Remember that simple is the opposite of complicated.)

Your final goal is to create one or more successful websites which rank high in search engines for the in-demand keywords that people use when looking for information online.

This will ensure a constant flow of visitors, which you can then convert into sales or clicks that will show up as a monthly check sent from Google, Chitika or another provider.
