Foundation for Success

In my previous entry, I shared the business opportunities that I'm involved with. In the following posts, I will be sharing in greater detail the "nuts & bolts" of laying a foundation for online success, and how to make money with the various opportunities and resources I recommend.

Take a look at the "Foundation for Success" overview. This is my simplified business plan. It consists of four basic things needed to make money online--1) a system to build and communicate with your downline; 2) various means to promote your business; 3) establishing your online presence (your own website); 4) and moneymaking opportunities. The first two steps have FREE signups with optional upgrades. Step three is free for seven days, after which you pay $10/month; and the opportunities in step four vary in price. As stated on the overview, the first three steps have optional residual income opportunities, which I would recommend you take advantage of if you are interested and when it's financially feasible.

Search Big Daddy
What started out as a global search engine a year ago has now exploded into much, much more. When you sign up, you get your own search engine portal, plus "Advantage Points" to "purchase" keywords and banners to promote your business. It also has an excellent internal messaging system, so it's a great place build and communicate with your downline. In addition, the SBD network has blog, bookmarking, e-cards, classifieds, and video sites, plus friends & pet friends sites that rival MySpace (you can import your MySpace info into a BigDaddyFriends site). What sets Search Big Daddy apart is their foray into local advertising via local search engine portals. (I will discuss the various elements of SBD in future posts.) All the elements of the SBD network are great for promoting you and your business. Sign up is totally free.

Veretekk
What are the best ways to advertise/promote my business? How do I get leads without spamming? The Veretekk system will answer these questions and more. Veretekk gives you the tools and 'round-the-clock, online training to help you get your business seen in cyberspace. I must admit the system is complex, so give yourself at least six months to understand and setup your advertising machine (this was the advice my sponsor gave me when I first signed up, and I understand why he told me this.). You will get leads as you implement the system. Sign up is FREE, with an optional Gold upgrade ($40/month). I would also advise that you NOT upgrade until you are comfortable with the Veretekk system.

Global Domains International
Establish your own web identity with your own .ws domain. Having your own domain will help you stand out in the crowd. "Test drive" the system free for seven days. You need NO knowledge of html or website design to build a professional looking website.

Whether you have a business or just looking at various opportunities, these first three steps will help you lay a foundation for online success.
