In my last post, titled Know What Makes You Stand Our From The Crowd and “Milk it“, I asked anyone who had a website to give me a description of why people should visit their website, for a little exercise we’ll go through today. I was a little surprised to see only 25 comments, and I know there are a few of you who have websites who didn’t submit. Oh well…
25 will definitely be enough to create a “crowd”. So, here is your task. As you read (or scan) through these, notice which descriptions catch your eye or make you think twice, and why. We’ll do a little assessment at the end. Click to continue…
When you’re trying to make an online presence, whether it’s on a blog, with a business, on a social network, whatever – there’s one thing you have to ask yourself about what you’re doing: what do you have to offer that makes you stand out from the crowd. Entrepreneurs that realize this, take advantage and showcase it, is what makes them become successful. In other words, they take what they know how to do and they “milk it”.
You don’t have to come up with a unique product, idea, or blog to be successful – don’t misinterpret what I’m trying to say. All you have to do is make sure there’s a reason why people should visit, read or buy from you. Do this, and you’ll get your followers, and beat your competitors. Click to continue…
It can be hard to stay motivated – not just with Internet Business, but with life in general. At one point in our lives, we’ve all said to ourselves: “I can’t do this”, “it’s not worth it”, and “I feel like giving up.”
Whatever “it” is that we feel like giving up on, whether it’s a project, a goal we’re trying to achieve, or something else – realize that all of those negative feelings are just a test. I view it as the Universe’s way of “weeding out” who can do what – putting these thoughts in our heads and only letting those who can overcome them succeed. You can succeed in whatever you want to do, you just have to find out how you best can overcome those “anti-success” feelings. Find out what motivates you, and let that be your way out.
What motivates is different from person to person. Maybe it’s a quotation. Maybe it’s a person. Maybe it’s just knowing that there are better things to come.
For me, it’s my family. I work hard everyday to make sure I can be with my family and support them not only financially, but physically (being present) and spiritually as well. Click to continue…
Ok, so you have some ideas – but are they online passive income worthy?
The goal here is to create something that you put a lot of work into so that you can eventually put it on auto-pilot and have it earning income for you, all while you either sit on white sandy beaches or work on even more projects. In order to tell if you have an idea that is perfect for this kind of lifestyle, here are a 5 things you can ask yourself about each one. Enter the checklist: Click to continue…
We’re all in the same boat. We’re all business-minded people who think of ideas and dream that one will be the next million-dollar idea. That’s good…motivation is good key. Like I say, dream big – or don’t dream at all.
If you’re just starting your online venture and you’re in the idea generation phase, here’s what you can do to help yourself find that next big idea: Click to continue…
In our last post, I unmasked the mystery behind what I’ve been doing for the past few months, going into detail about one of the iPhone applications my partner and I created, as well as our LOLer Apps brand. I was quite pleased with the response, and have yet to hear any “that’s stupid!” type comments – so thank you!
I have, however, received many questions about the development process and costs associated with getting our application to turn into a reality. I plan to answer some of those questions here for you today.
It was our plan to document all of this stuff on our LOLer Apps homepage, which we still will (and go into far more detail so that anyone can get into this if they wanted to invest a little money into their idea), but I’ll go over the main points and some other things I’m guessing you have questions about right now.

There are over 20,000 iPhone applications for sale in iTunes, and Apple is currently counting down the billionth app download. Yes billionth. So as you can see, if you’re making good iPhone applications, there is potential for earning a lot of money.
I’ve talked about iFart Mobile before and how well that app was doing. It has sold over 350,000 copies and has generated a revenue of about $245,000. This application has only been around since December.
iShoot, a tank shooting type game, generated over $600,000 in sales in just one month. Ridiculous. I’m sure there are plenty of other apps out there doing really well that just don’t show off their earnings to the public.
These are, of course, extreme cases – the ones we always hear about. I can almost guarantee that there are thousands of apps for sale that aren’t making a dime. This is just the nature of this kind of market. Some get noticed and go viral, while others never get noticed and just end up wasting space.
Well, it’s time for me to take a stab at it. Click to continue…
This is the last post in my “How to Publish an Ebook Series”. I kind of took it a step further and instead of just talking about publishing, I threw in some selling and marketing techniques too. After today’s talk about affiliate programs, you should have the foundation and knowledge to create, sell and market your own eBook and start earning some passive income!
In regards to writing an eBook, I’m pretty sure I can guess what’s going through your head right now. It’s one of two things:
- You want to write an eBook, but you don’t know what to write about (or you don’t think you’re qualified to write an eBook).
- You want to write an eBook, but you don’t have the time.
Or maybe, it’s both. Regardless, these thoughts are barriers that must be crossed in order to succeed online. In the near future, I will go over some helpful tips and hints about what you could write about, and also how to create more time for yourself (by finding time and being more efficient too). For now, don’t let those thoughts stop you from achieving your dreams, or at least earning a little extra cash on the side.

Ok, so you can do all of the free marketing techniques you want – sometimes you’ll still feel the need to fork over a little bit of cash to reach more customers. Today, I’ll summarize some common services and programs you can use to advertise and market your eBook. Click to continue…
Welcome to the 8th part of the “How to Publish an eBook Series”. It’s been a fun series so far, and it’s pretty cool to tell my story along the way and re-live exactly what I did to get to where I’m at today. The fact that this series is so long should tell you that it does take a lot of hard work and time in order to be successful, but your hard work will pay off.
I have a little something cool planned for The Smart Passive Income Blog in the near future, probably sometime in May. There will be a slight redesign of the website and the addition of a newsletter as well. The newsletter will incorporate the complete eBook series as a free gift for signing up. I’ll go over these things with you in more detail later on as they are being implemented. Then, you’ll be able to not only read about how to incorporate a newsletter into your website, but watch it as it happens on mine too. Sweet. Click to continue…
