Copy. Paste. Promote. Repeat. You've got to be kidding right?

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you build an online business? Copy. Paste. Promote. Repeat. I really hate using the first expression because I LOVE elephants but to make a point sometimes you have to be blunt. This blog is meant to be direct and maybe make you a little irritated so you will REACT. A reaction is better than nothing. Hopefully that irritation leads to a reaction which leads to an action. Forgive me if the tone of this blog sounds a bit tongue in cheek. My purpose is to try and get you to simplify tasks so you can get the results you want. I'd like you to think about things from a different perspective. Every day I talk to people all over the world who are trying to build their online business. Some are having no success, some are having mixed success, some are just getting started, some have been working an online business for years. The ones who are hugely successful, I never hear from - hmmm strange. What's the difference between the successful and the non-successful? Well it depends on who you ask and your definition of success. Here's my take on it. People who are successful are DOERS! They don't over think, they plod in and get busy. They make mistakes, they learn, they try again. They fall down, they get up again as often as it takes to get the job done. They simplify; they don't overcomplicate. They have a unique way of looking at things, and attacking a task. They FOCUS on what needs to be done, eliminate distraction. They understand that small tasks can lead to big results. They find what works and stick to it. They have a patience many of us just can't fathom. Failure is not an option. I had the honour of playing a round of golf with a Professional Golfer last week. This guy was good and had won numerous tournaments. I asked him how he got to be such a good golfer and this is what he told me. He said, "I've played golf since I was 4. I'm 24 now. I've played golf pretty much every day my entire life." I then said to him, "so you did the same thing everyday and got really good at it?" He looked at me for a moment to make sure that I was being serious about something so obvious then he said. "Yes, I got some lessons and instructions then practised every day and here I am." So if I can draw from that, if you want to be good at something - successful at something - do it everyday - over and over and over again! Could it be that simple? Building your online business is as simple as Copy. Paste. Promote. Repeat. Everyday? What do you think? Post your comments below. I'd like to see your thoughts.

Blogging is easy and many people are doing it. It almost seems like everyone has a blog these days. However, if you want to have a successful blog, you have to make certain decisions, and set certain goals. Apply what you've learned by reading this article to create a unique, successful blog. Post original content on your blog, and include pictures or other content. Linking out to relevant sites, quoting experts in a field or adding videos can also make a post more interesting. Make sure you don't plagiarize, though, because people will stop visiting your site. Be unique and interesting with posts! If you don't want to create your own blog from scratch, use a blogging service. Blogging services come in two main varieties. Hosted blogging services store your blog on the company's servers, while installed services run on your own domain. Some blogging services, such as WordPress, can be used in both ways. Whether you choose hosted or installed, using a blogging service lets you update your blog with a convenient control panel. Don't become entrapped with "right now". hot topic writing can only last as long as the hot topics do. Many times, that is a very short time period. Try writing content that can be easily read months and years down the road. Even if the content is about a hot topic, Try including something timeless in it. Make a posting routine. This requires lots of self-discipline, but it's essential to your blog. If it's not updated constantly, then there's no blog. Try experimenting until you find one that fits your pace. There are some bloggers that post around 2-3 articles each day, while others post about one each week. It is vital to your blog that you make yourself known and be visible. You can do this by writing guest posts for other people's blogs. It may seem a little scary at first, but you will find that other bloggers are eager to let you post on their blogs. Be sure to get familiar with their blog so you can write good, informative posts. Have your blog feel friendly and warm to visitors. Reply to comments that people leave, and this means more than just thanking them, try to have real conversations. If you can develop a relationship with your readers, they will tend to be more loyal to you, and keep coming back. Refrain from using blog designs that are similar to MySpace. This means using extremely busy designs that have too much content on your screen, too many animated graphics, etc. Having these busy designs makes it extremely difficult for your readers to read your blog. As a result, they'll likely leave. As was stated at the beginning of this article, blogging seem to be an easy feat, at first. Everyone seems to have a message they want to impart or information they wish to share. However, you then realize that you need a plan and to start making decisions. Using the tips from this article will help you to design the blog of your dreams. John Silva is the Owner of http://InstantComputerBiz.com.

Congratulations on your decision to create a website! You've probably got many different ideas in your head as to how your website will look like and how it will function. While these are all good things to think about, there is something else that should be on your mind, a web host. The following article will tell more about web hosting and why you need it. Be sure to back up your website and information to your computer as often as you can. Your host may not back up your site so if they experience extensive technical difficulties or are even shut down for good, your site will practically be gone forever and you will have to start anew. When choosing your web hosting service, do not rely on someone's recommendation, or only on the info you've read online. Most services have affiliate programs and the people recommending the service may not have any direct experience with it. You should take more than recommendations into consideration when choosing your web host. Avoid free web hosting services. These services support themselves by placing advertisements on the top of all the websites they host. These advertisements may annoy your visitors or make your site appear unprofessional. In addition, some free hosts may restrict the amount of commercial content allowed on the websites that they host. When choosing a web host, you should ensure that you choose one that has lots of features for you to utilize. Although the features of most hosts will be very similar, they will differ in their bandwidth and disk space. If you are in need of a large amount of these two things, then you should ensure that you select a web host that provides this. Using a free web host? Prepare yourself for the idea that your entire site may go away completely. After all, small host companies pop up and then disappear with incredible rapidity. If one of them is in charge of your website, and then the company just goes underground, all of your content can go with it -- so back everything up!. Choose a web hosting service that offer multiple databases for you to access if needed. This can include the ability to store information about your products, as well as your customers. You should be able to easily look at prior purchases and the personal information about who is buying your products. Follow the guidelines that most hosting companies have and make your own backup of your data. It's crucial that you go ahead and do this to keep your data safe. If you do this, you'll be able to restore your website if, for example, a hacker or virus corrupts the data stored on your web host's server. Now that you have more information about web hosting, you can begin to think more about it, in addition to the other elements that are necessary for the creation of your website. Take the words from this article and use them to help you choose a web hosting service that will bring your site into fruition. John Silva is the Owner of http://InstantComputerBiz.com.
