Moving from Short term to Long

I decided to stop trying to flip websites ( Could have made a decent amount though) on a short term basis and rather go for long term projects.

I don’t know about you guys but I’d rather set up something earning me in the high $XXX on autopilot or semi then working hours for a revenue in the mid $XXXX. ( That’s just me)

Work that involves minimal labor can be replicated and that spare time can be directed towards other things but If you invest hours on a sole subject, you will not have any ways to create other revenue sources or tweak different facets of your businesses.

Here are some projects that I’m ditching :

Proxies( They get blocked often and I don’t want to bloody remake a new one every time one of the oldies can’t be accessed anymore).

Website flipping( I don’t want to make a site and then sell it for one month later. That’s not what I’m looking for in a business).

Others I’m looking into:

Starting a social networking website like perhaps Myspace or Facebook on a specific niche( Perhaps a Video game I love or something popular that interests me)

Starting a proxy listing( This kind of project could work wonders for my proxy promotion service)

Create a website for my article writing service while perhaps hiring a proofreader for my team.

Create some minimal work websites perhaps like bash.org that I could properly monetize through adsense and other PPCs.

When creating a long term business , make sure it is something you love so you don’t get bored out of your skull during the building process.

Any other suggestions?

Btw, Neotrepreneur just had broken the 50 suscriber feed yesterday . Wonder how long it will stay there for?

Can You Socialize or Will You Board on the Failure Boat?

Ever heard the expression: ” One man can lift a rock but a thousand can move a mountain”? Or some crap like that.

Well, the guy who said that was a freaking genius.

Here is some simpler terms of this philosophy:

Alone = failure If you don’t know what the bloody fuck you are doing.

Together = Success if your teammates or partners aren’t complete douchebags or morons.

In the business world, you have to create successful friendly relationships( professionally speaking ) with your peers , clients and employees or you will never be able to advance forward at a fast pace.

Peers: Being friendly towards them enables you to learn their marketing strategy if they are successful and you can also help each other ( Such as Joint ventures : It is much easier to trust a partner who is your friend in maintaining your business)

Clients:

Do I have to even explain? If you are rude and a jerk towards your clientele , they will not come back for more of your services and You can bet they will their friends how much of a crappy provider/seller you are.

Employee:

If you don’t pay them top-notch rates , you have to be nice to them or they will flee from you like kindergarden kids from the dentist.

You will never be able to attain succes if you do not socialize with others.

IE:

During an argument , most of the times, the party with the most people on his side will win. ( Just like a presidential election)

Befriend your comrades by:

Being polite.

Bribing( Everyone loves freebies, don’t cha know? )

Helping them in their times of need( No need to go save their cat though)

You HAVE to get in contact with people and create relationships or you are bound to failure.

Outsourcing is a Gold mine . Nearly 150$ in a day.

Since a great Intro is what makes the leechers stick around , here it is :

Yesterday , aliens destroyed my lunch while I was at school and payed me 150$ through paypal to compensate for it . How cool is that?!?

Actually , It’s just fucked up. In reality , What I did was outsourcing some work which netted me quite a nice sum.

Note: I know some bastards will say: ” 150$ in a day is nothing! Take a look at John chow . He makes 30k per month with his blog. ” Well, I don’t give a damn and You will understand why once I start my bashing galore posts . ( Better suscribe to my feed because I’m telling ya the things what I will bash and whine about will be buried six feet deep into molten magma.)

150$ is a nice amount to have especially since I was playing video games and listening to Heavy Metal while I made that revenue.

What is outsourcing By the way?

In simple terms , outsourcing is when you hire someone else to do the work for you.

Example: Buyer A is interested having a nice header for his website for 50$ . Freelancer A has no time at all to do it but still would like the extra money. So Freelancer A hires Freelancer B to do the header for the buyer at a lesser price then 50$ . (While Buyer A pays 50$ to F-A , F-a would only give 30$ to F-B thus earning a profit for F-A.)

How did I net myself 150$ in a day?

Same method as mentionned above.

I chose a service that I would like to provide.

Coding? Don’t know shit bout it

Design? Even worse. I have no sense of creativity at all.

Copywriting? Oooh . It seems like a winner to me and I started my IM experience with writing. So why not?

Now , I had to find some people for my article writing team.

I mainly used Getafreelancer.com to find copywriters.

I hired people that would work at a certain rate per 500 word and I charged my clients which I found through DP double that amount.

But you are going to tell me :

” If you were able to employ these men and women at such low rates, doesn’t that mean that they have crappy grammar and spelling? ”

While It is true that some of my hirees do not have the best syntax , I am there to proofread the articles and correct their mistakes.

I am adding my own touch so that the clients get top quality while I still work minimally.

If you want to also create your own team of whatever you want, be prepared to add something of your own to make your service stand out.

Here is a screenshot of my paypal ( Note I only had 200$ before I started this)

Here is a summary of the steps you have to complete:

Choose a service you want to provide
Go to sites like GAF to find freelancers for your own team.

Find clients for your service . Using Digital Point is a good idea. ( Make sure you are paid more then what you pay your own employees. You don’t want to go bankrupt , do you?

Provide your own little hint of touch in the service .

Get a good amount of revenue while doing minimal work.

Don’t forget this could prove to be a good source of income , Long-term speaking.
