But, somehow they became slaves to the Internet business. And, in the process, they had LESS time to spend with their families, their hobbies, and their purposes in life. Don’t kid yourself, it can happen to you. Ask yourself one question right now, be honest with yourself even if you don’t like the answer …

How much time do you spend online? If you add up all the hours you spend reading, researching,surfing, at forums, creating offers, joining lists, publishing articles … all of the activities you do related to an Internet
business … what would the total be?

It might shock you at the total if you had to clock in each time you came online.  Listen to me carefully:  more important than traffic, lists,products and anything else associated with your business is your time.  It’s irreplaceable.  As such, it’s priceless.

That’s why I am a BIG believer in outsourcing.  That is, you pay someone else (or barter with them) to do things for you. Think for just a moment about the information business.

Which of these would you prefer…

[A] You spend the next 7 days writing an ebook.

[B] You hire someone to write the ebook while you play golf.

Which of these would you prefer…

[A] You research a hot topic so you can write an ebook about a topic you are unfamiliar with, and then you write it.

[B] You hire someone to write the ebook while you go fishing.

Which of these would you prefer…

[A] You spend the next few MONTHS writing 10 ebooks to build an information product empire.

[B] You hire someone to write all 10 ebooks over that same period of time, or you hire several ghostwriters and have all 10 ebooks finished in 2 weeks while you shop at the mall.

Which of these would you prefer…
[A] You expand your business into dozens of different profitable markets by writing ebooks on a variety of topics.

[B] You hire someone to write ebooks for you on any imaginable topic while you are at the beach, on the mission field or hanging out with your family.

Listen, I love writing.  And I’m good at it.  It’s one of my passions and I’m quite content to be here pecking away at my computer.

BUT….There are many topics out there – which I know are profitable – that I just don’t have the time or expertise to write about. So, I hire a ghostwriter to build my niche information business for me.

While I write all of my own internet marketing courses (let’s be clear about that!), there are other products out there that are MINE which I didn’t write a word of related to topics ranging from weight loss to time management to curing insomnia.

Maybe you want to take a shortcut?
Maybe you want to speed up the process by which you build your business?
Maybe you want to expand into a variety of hot topics?
Maybe you want to free up your time for more important pursuits?

You can do all of these by using a ghostwriter.

You can find them at http://www.Elance.com.  Simply post a description of the project you’d like completed and let qualified vendors from around the world bid to become your ghostwriter.  Look over the writers that respond and pick the one best suited for  your needs.

In a matter of days you can have a completed ebook that is YOURS without writing a single word yourself.

It’ll change your life.

Happy New years Everyone!!

It is always great to be able to reflect back on what we did over the past year so we can learn and grow from it before making goals for the new year.

Whilst writing or making money online period might seem like a daunting task it doesn’t need to be if you follow these simple steps this year.  Lets start fresh, and more importantly start every day like you’re starting fresh.  Bright eyed and bushy tailed every day eager to face todays challenges.  Theres no doubt you’re going to learn something, as you always will.  But if you’ve finally decided to take thing whole online making money thing seriously, then its time to wake up and dont make the same mistakes as you did tomorrow.  Prioritize what is most important right now, and go with the flow but focus while doing it.

For most aspiring entreprenuers, we don’t know where to start and have no idea on how to start the writing process. And why I keep saying writing is because to make money online you have to write.  At least the way I know how to, that works best for me.  And Im just starting! So let me make this endeavor a lot easier for you. Follow these Goals for 2009 and you are guaranteed to help improve your writing, and therefore make more money online than you did in 2008:

I Establish my objectives…

What do I want to achieve? Do I want to earn money from them or am I using this as my stepping stone so I can advance further in my niche?

The clearer my objectives, the better your income will be.

I Pick my topics….

I will dabble in something I know very well and it must be something that truly interesting to my potential customers.

I like what Im writing about and make work enjoyable as much as possible.

My products will sell like hotcakes online because I write quality information that is helpful to other people, who are reading what they expected to, and will benefit from it.

I Create compelling titles for my products….

I will capture my customers attention through my titles.

I create headlines that are enticing and follow the WIIFM rule (whats in it for me). They are short, direct to the point, well written, and keyword rich.

I Write for my readers….

I know who my readers are  so you can easily make your content targeted to their needs and demands. Aside from their profiles and  target to their needs. I identify pressing issues, aspirations, the things that they would like to achieve and their most frequent questions.

I make my writing readable.

My ideas flow smoothly and my content promotes continuity.

I will make an outline that will guide me throughout the writing process. My content is easy on the eyes.

This year will be the best year to date! Keep positive and stay focused.  Best words of advice!

When it comes to  producing unique content for my websites, I can pump out full length articles about niches in which I have no prior knowledge on in about 15 minutes.

Wouldn’t you like to know how to do the same? It’s easier “said than written”. Wink wink.  I was going to make this apart of an ebook I am producing, but I decided to give it to my readers for free.  So here it is, the  content creation on crack conspiracy the gurus don’t want you to know!!

#1. Use voice recognition software called Dragon Naturally Speaking so you don’t have to type anything. It costs $199, but its well worth it. You can learn more about that here: http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/

#2. Train only 10 minutes per day with a speed reading software called, EyeQ.  It helps you read and process information faster, right now I can read at about 600 words per minute, and my speed increases every week. You can learn more about that here: http://www.eyeq.tv

#3. Select your niche topic from the NicheADay mailing list, which you can get on here: http://www.nicheaday.com

#4.  Go on to http://www.wikipedia.com and speed read as many articles as you can for about an hour. Take notes if necessary.

#5.  Open up Microsoft word and speak 3000-5000+ words summarizing what you’ve just read about while it is still fresh in your mind and read from your notes if needed.

Make this part fun! Pretend you’re giving a presentation! Jot down what you want to talk about, but don’t read your notes like it’s a script or write them down like it’s a script for that matter. Remember, this is voice recognition, you want to let the words flow as naturally as possible.  Don’t worry you will get better each time as you become more and more comfortable with it!

#6.  Tidy up any typo’s that you or the software has made, because sometimes you’ll stumble words. Then format your articles into 10 seperate files. This takes only a few minutes.

#7.  Breathe! You’ve just created unique content for an entire website in under 2 hours.

Imagine the possiblities. When you combine Speed Reading with Voice Recognition software you can create endless amounts of content very , I mean VERY quickly. We only have 24 hours per day guys, you need to increase your productivity as much as possible!
