Mind Your Own BusinessWelcome to this edition of Paid to Think Business Magazine.
Your Business Needs to Use SystemsIn this edition we show you how to setup some simple systems for your business. Systems are the processes you put in place to bring you new subscribers and customers and to help you deliver your products and services, as well as offer customer support.
As your business grows, so should the systems you use to help you manage it.
We introduce you to SwipeVault, via some interesting tutorials to show you what is working now and how you can spy on successful online business strategies. Once you know what is successful, you can copy and use the same strategies and tactics in your business.
More Automation…Not LessWhat is great about online business is how you can automate processes and although you can’t completely set and forget, the business carries on without you. You may have noticed how automation is changing the face of the workplace. Where possible the simple jobs that were done by people are slowly being automated out of existence. You’ll probably notice this the next time you go to buy your groceries at the supermarket.
Our Favorite Online Business The winner is the “info business”, just in case you had not guessed. When you introduce this aspect to your business you can craft products to sell on auto, 24/7, 365 days of the year. In the event you do not have a product, you can sell other people’s stuff and earn affiliate commissions.
Mind Your Own Business
Your first job is to choose your niche. It’s not as easy as some would make out, otherwise everyone would be rich. However there are a few guidelines:
Mind Your Own Business
Choose your niche from the BIG 4. You can find categories within categories and you can use Amazon to locate these. Do a search of books that are good sellers in each of these 4 niches.
Getting Things Done!
If you are working from home you can’t do everything. At some stage you want to pay someone to do some of the work.
Outsourcing work and working with other people can be time-consuming and there are lots of issues to solve; one of those issues is, getting copyright, another being, getting the job done to your satisfaction.
Another issue is where to go to outsource your projects. It all comes down to testing. You set the price and write the ad for the work you want and then let others bid for the job, then talk to them on Skype and get to know them and their work and put your agreement in place, before you hire anyone. Think it through carefully first.
Here are places you can try and some reviews:
Elance
Freelancer
Fiverr
You can also Google “freelance” or “virtual assistant” and see what comes up in search. Please do your own research.
It’s a good idea to get more information about the rules and to have agreements in place to protect yourself. Getting a virtual assistant could really help you, if you can afford the expense. Also getting products made for you is a great idea. If you can pay there is a way of getting things done.
