Every day more and more people across the globe are becoming financially free by setting up their own Internet home based business. It is no longer a case of whether it’s possible or not; you either join the revolution or you watch and wonder what if. So let’s assume you want to get involved and try to clear up some of the urban myths about Internet home based business.Myth 1
They are all scamsThe first thing to clarify is that in my experience about 95% of the Internet home based business models out there are genuine opportunities but that doesn’t mean to say that they are all worth doing, not by a long way; some of them just don’t even come close.So how do you figure out which ones are good and which are bad? Well for me it was purely trial and error. I hit a few dead ends and bad apples but it was all worth it in the end, I can tell you. But I don’t want to digress into my story, let’s get back to dispelling the myths.Myth 2
It’s only technical people and computer wizards who can make a success of it.This is simply not true. Many people on my team come from all types of backgrounds from nurses to retired teachers. It doesn’t matter what your history is, everyone can learn how to run a successful Internet home based business in under 6 months.Now 6 months may not sound that appealing but think how long you’ve been in your current day job, probably the one you don’t even like that much. Now imagine that in 6 months time you can be financially free working from home; exciting isn’t it.Myth 3
It’s only the people at the top that ever make any moneyThis myth has come about from all the multi-level marketing (or MLM) systems out there but is not the case with the Internet home based business models that I suggest you look at.Through the power of a new model called GPT (or Get Paid Today) you can set your business up so that you get paid every time you make a sale and not just when your team sells for you.Myth 4
You have to work full time to have any chance of successAgain, not true. When I started I was working just evenings and weekends and was able to almost duplicate my normal income within 3 months. The real key to success is not really the amount of time you put in but how you do it. You need to work on your Internet home based business every single day no matter how small and I do mean EVERY single day and you will make it a success.Internet Home Based Business AutomationAs I mentioned before it is possible to become financially free in 6 months with your Internet home based business but this will require some commitment on your part. You need to treat it like any other business on the planet and give it constant daily action to keep the fuel burning. You also need to find the right online system to work with, one that will not just educate you but also give you the opportunity to scale it up and take it to the next level.

Realtors – How and Why You Should Build a Commercial Property Management Portfolio
It’s in markets like this that a commercial real estate management portfolio is of prime importance in the function of the real estate business. The management portfolio allows the agent to have a supply of properties for sales or lease in the future, as well as management fees from the portfolio in the meantime. In effect, the management portfolio is a source of controlled stock for the agent to sell or lease in the future.
Property Agents Building the Portfolio?
So how do you build a commercial property management portfolio? The simple answer is that you build it from the sales and leases that you do in the current market. The landlord is most receptive to the change of property manager when they are purchasing the property or when they are undertaking a new lease.
Referral business from other property owners and business leaders is also a way to get in touch with the landlords that may own property and want to outsource property management services. In saying that, a real estate agent is always far better positioned to capture local market intelligence and enquiry that can shorten a vacancy period for a tenancy in a landlords property.
Agents Should Protect Their Property Management Portfolio
It should be said that a property management portfolio should be protected and serviced well by the managing agent. Commercial and retail property is not like residential property; you need knowledge and the right people to do the management process well.
Costly mistakes can be made if the property manager does not understand the property type or local area. Landlords will happily move to another agent if too many mistakes are made.
Here is why:
The tenants in the property should be optimised in a tenant mix plan. This says that the tenants require strategy and placement into the property. When you have multiple tenants in a property, this becomes even more important.
The income for the landlord comes from the leases that should be optimised and managed for critical dates
The expenditure in the asset will need controls and budgets to ensure that cost standards are maintained and do not blow out beyond the standards in the local area.
Every lease should be managed so the vacancy factors in all properties are minimised.
When a vacancy occurs the property manager should proactively market the vacant space to the right target market to attract property enquiry.
The maintenance processes in a commercial or retail building today require expertise and understanding especially when it comes to essential services and satisfying the codes that apply to building operation and function. In many cases you will need the assistance of a building engineer to oversee matters of compliance today.
Build the right management portfolio and then protect it with good service and good people. Landlords and tenants will appreciate the care taken. Your agency business will grow around a sound and stable property management portfolio and client base.
A Simple Product Creation and Product Launching Formula
If you tried to think of people involved in product creation, who would come to mind? You may think of Edison, Franklin, or maybe Henry Ford. Would you ever think of yourself as someone who can create a quality product? Product creation is actually relatively easy and product launching is not that tough either! If you follow a few easy to understand steps, you could be starting the product creation and product launching process sooner than you think.
The first step in creating your information product is to know and understand your market. This can be very time-consuming, especially if you are unsure of what to do or where to look to know your market. Studying your niche market and understanding the buzz words and buying patterns can ease the process dramatically. Personally, I would recommend networking with someone who has had success in the niche market you are considering and learn from their results. If they are into product creation and not very business savvy expect some hesitation. If they only sell products and have nothing to do with product launching or product creation you may your first affiliate (sales person)! Something else you can use to find hot trends is with the Google Trends tool.
The second step is the product creation process. Take your niche market and brainstorm ideas and topics relating to it. There are a lot of product launching contests going on recently relating to a newly created internet marketing tool. There are so many aspects to the mentioned niche that literally, and unfortunately, anything can be considered an Internet Marketing tool. The reason that anyone can basically create an Internet Marketing tool is because of something called Private Label Rights products.
What I use private label rights products for, and highly recommend them in this specific manner, is to cure writer’s block especially when it is lingering. Many people base their entire product creation and product launching on a private label rights product. This is where you can start to shine and build a strong brand for yourself. If you set goals for yourself, short-term goals to be exact, you can see your product creation come into being much faster and there is a good chance with less revision needed. If you keep hitting time restraint road blocks; however there is nothing wrong with a slow and steady approach, you can consider outsourcing portions of your project. Outsourcing can be an extremely huge benefit or just as great of a disaster.
You can find someone to outsource work to at a freelance site such as Guru.com or eLance.com. When reviewing proposals it is almost mandatory you perform a background check on them as you are in essence hiring them. Doing a background check on freelancers is as easy as asking for samples of their work and reviewing feedback on the freelance site from previous customers. Depending on the size and requirements of your project this can add up to a decent sized investment, so caution is very important. One tip I always recommend to people looking to hire an individual is to ask them what they can provide you that no one else can. This simple question gives them a chance to “toot their own horn” and acknowledge where they feel most competent as far as their skill set.
The final portion of the product creation and product launching formula is the launch. This can literally make or break the effort, time, and maybe (if you invested) money you put in to your project. There are numerous aspects to product launching and although their relevance is debated in terms to their effect, experts agree all must be followed. The person in your field who you asked for product advice from can help you substantially if you have kept in touch. If not, the first thing you need to do is to create a visually appealing website with flawless design work.
I also mentioned outsourcing before, this is one aspect of product launching I have little strength in and I always outsource this portion. The website does not have to be large however the content (ad copy in Internet Marketing) must be stellar and as perfect as possible. This is where advertising knowledge or experience is beneficial. When the site is set up you now put a lead capture form on your website.
I put two lead capture pages on all products I create on the internet and is one of the best methods of getting a solid start when you are in the product launching stage. When you gain information from a prospect or someone looking to get paid for referring sales you are able to provide them updates or specials. Many people abuse their prospect or affiliate lists by in turn emailing them with a new product daily and I find the recommendations to be totally unrelated to their original need, problem, or interest.
Another stage in the product launching stage is creating a free report or demo version of your product to entice the product to sign up to your email list. Using proper follow up with this can help generate numerous sales for you. One thing you need to ensure is that your free product completely relates to your main product that you are looking to sell.
You are now ready to advertise your product launching to customers as well as the opportunity to sell for affiliates. This is the single aspect that many product creations and launches fail on. It is actually not entirely difficult. One thing you can do is write articles (and a good amount of them) on topics relating to your product. I am a huge advocate of giving a solution in forums. When you join a forum you are normally offered the opportunity to create a signature. In your signature, you should enter the link to your opt-in or lead capture page. When you respond to posts, you are advertising your opportunity.
It is not impossible to create a product and it does not have to take a long time. You need to setup a plan and stick to it. If you get stuck, look at similar and successful products to your own and try and see how they did it. When you sit down and brainstorm you will be surprised with what you can imagine.
